[remote sparrow]

no i figued it out, so i have a thing in my code that makes my gravity higher when falling but somehow its being applyed when i move left can ik that happening cause it set it to zero and it worked normally

[zealous talon]

i'm kinda losing my mind .....

[rich adder]

it will explain whats happening, is basically wat was mentioned before, you push forward it goes off the slope then gravity pushes down again and repeat

so you keep playing ungrounded animation because thats what you set to happen if not grounded

so it needs to follow the slope direction instead of going just straight

did you debug why it wasn't moving with the added velocity ?

[zealous talon]

what do you mean?

[rich adder]

you said you tried doing it how I had it with adding the velocity / movement of the platform to the player velocity

[remote sparrow]

i fixed it

[rich adder]

but it wasn't working for some reason ? so something you should look into, I did it similar

[zealous talon]

you didn't use the rigidbody on the playform, right?

[rich adder]

I did

[zealous talon]

mh

[rich adder]

Kinematic though

You can use dynamic depending on the mode of your game , if you lock constraints

[zealous talon]

so you add on the controller the rb.velocity's platform?

[rich adder]

yes the player moves according to how much platform moved

I use a raycast instead of triggers to detect it though, my platform knows nothing about the player

[zealous talon]

ok and you calculate velocity with kinematic rigid body as something light new position - last position / time.deltatime?

[zealous talon]

mh ok but i don't think it makes a lot of diffences in my case

[rich adder]

pretty much

[zealous talon]

when the platform detects a trigger with the player it access the externalVelocity in the controller script and set it as its velocity

so it should be pretty much the same

[rich adder]

I mean sure but design choice, platforms shouldnt really know anything about the player

[patent hazel]

slopeRotation = Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, hitinfo.normal); so what this does is basically turning player movement vector with the angle between vector3.up and hitInfo.normal right?

[wintry quarry]

This code gives you a rotation that you would apply to rotate from Vector3.up to the hit normal

it doesn't do anything with any players

[zealous talon]

yeah i'll correct that

[rich adder]

doesn't she explain in the vid ? its been a while

[patent hazel]

if we multiply movement vector with slopeRotation thats what happens right?

[patent hazel]

she does but i understand it better visually so i drew it

[patent hazel]

if we do movementVector * slopeRotation i meant xD mb

[wintry quarry]

I think the more appropriate tool here would be to project the movement vector on the surface plane

[wintry quarry]

this would be invalid

the quaternion needs to be on the left

[patent hazel]

slopeRotation * movement

yes sorry

[wintry quarry]

I think it would approximately do the same as projecting the movement vector on the slope yes

(and then fixing the magnitude)

[compact sundial]

I am using the onEnable function for my UI buttons. can I put multiple lines of

uiDoc.rootVisualElement.Q<Button>("LifeStealButton").clicked += OnClick;

in the enable function and they activate multiple buttons? or do I have to make a script for each button?

here is the full script

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UIElements;
public class ButtonOne : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private UIDocument uiDoc;
    [SerializeField] private ExtendedCharacterController characterController;
    [SerializeField] private GameObject player;
    
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Update()
    {

    }

    void OnEnable()
    {
        uiDoc.rootVisualElement.Q<Button>("LifeStealButton").clicked += OnClick;
        //Debug.Log(uiDoc.rootVisualElement.Q<Button>("LifeStealButton"));

    }

    void OnClick()
    {
        //Debug.Log("YEET");
        player.TryGetComponent<LevelUpScript>(out LevelUpScript levelUpScript);
        if (levelUpScript.playerSkillPoints >= 1)
        {
            characterController.quickSlashAttackMultiplier += 1;
            levelUpScript.playerSkillPoints -= 1;

        }


    }
}

[rich adder]

here had time to make a very quick and dirty demo..
https://paste.mod.gg/ggqldevsyctp/0

[compact sundial]

and by multiple buttons I mean they activate one button at a time depending on which one I click

[wintry quarry]

This += line of code doesn't activate anything - it adds a listener to the button

Such that the listener will run every time the button is clicked

there's no limit to how many listeners you can add in a single script

[rich adder]

also good practice clean these up ondisable/destroy clicked -= OnClick;

[compact sundial]

it actually does, I tried it with -= and it didnt work

like the OnClick function did not activate

[wintry quarry]

Of course, that's unsubscribing

+= is correct, I didn't say it wasn't

[compact sundial]

oh

[wintry quarry]

ButtonOne as the name of a script seems like a code smell to me tbh

[compact sundial]

yeah I had it the name of the script because I thought I was gonna have to make a script for each button

[plush zealot]

For some reason this outputs the last card 5 times instead of outputting the top card then removing it and then outputting the top card again... these are the debug outputs im getting when I run it
https://hastebin.com/share/itiwizihah.csharp

I'm genuienly losing my mind here please help T-T

[wintry quarry]

Need more code really but it's basically one of a few possibilities, for example:

• deck has a bunch of duplicate entries
• The different cards in deck are referring to the same element

showing the full script would probably help

as well as the ElementPage type

and any other relevant code

or perhaps you're doing some static variable stuff

[plush zealot]

I tried both those possibilities and checked the debugger neither is the case....
It doesn't have duplicates as the initial debug messages show it generates random ones
I thought the second too but it shouldn't be doing that since as also seen in the later debug messages the deck is shrinking....

Gamelogic
elementPage

[wintry quarry]

um you are absolutely just making a list of 30 of the same object

        List<ElementPage> importD = new List<ElementPage>();
        ElementPage toAdd = new ElementPage("unassigned",1);
        int e;
        for(int i=0; i < 30; i++)
        {
            e = rnd.Next(6);
            switch (e)
            {
                case 0:
                    toAdd.element = "fire";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
                case 1:
                    toAdd.element = "earth";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
                case 2:
                    toAdd.element = "water";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
                case 3:
                    toAdd.element = "wind";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
                case 4:
                    toAdd.element = "lightning";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
                case 5:
                    toAdd.element = "dark";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
                case 6:
                    toAdd.element = "light";
                    importD.Add(toAdd);
                    break;
            }
            Debug.Log($"element of added card: {toAdd.element}. currently there are {importD.Count} cards in the Deck.");
           
        }
        startTurn(importD);
        #endregion  
    }```

You make ONE object here - ElementPage toAdd = new ElementPage("unassigned",1);

and then you're adding that one object to the list 30 times with importD.Add(toAdd);

And when you're doing toAdd.element = "water"; you're just modifying that same object

[plush zealot]

yes

[wintry quarry]

So - it's exactly like I said

you don't have 30 different cards

[plush zealot]

why does the debu.log message give out different results tho

im so confused

[wintry quarry]

You have a list with 30 references to the same card

[wintry quarry]

because they are being printed at a moment right after you changed the element on the card

you're doing this:

• Make the card
• change the element to dark
• print the current element
• change the element to light
• print the current element
  ... so on

you still only have one card, you're just modifying it a bunch of times and printing the current state of it

[plush zealot]

ugh yeah ok

[wintry quarry]

You are probably get confused here because you're not understanding how references work in C#

[plush zealot]

if i put the toAdd in the for loop

it wouldnt happen that way

and work as intended

[wintry quarry]

to do this properly you would need to be doing ElementPage toAdd = new ElementPage(...); inside the loop

[plush zealot]

yeah...

[wintry quarry]

so that it creates 30 different objects

[plush zealot]

really quick

this would work how i'd want it to in java though right?

or did i completely shit the bed?

[wintry quarry]

no

Java works the same way

[plush zealot]

nvmd then

thx tho

[wintry quarry]

It would work how you want if you were using struct instead of class
i.e. if ElementPage was public struct ElementPage instead of public class ElementPage

but Java only has class, so would work the same way as here.

[plush zealot]

ah ok

yeah no makes sense why it doesnt work

thought it would just copy the values

and put them in

[wintry quarry]

nope, that's not how references work

[plush zealot]

but it just points to the variable the entire time

-,-

lesson learned

[wintry quarry]

Yep - structs work that way - copying every time

classes use references

[plush zealot]

yeah I wanted to put it in the loop at first but then thought that's not entirely optimal since it would declare the variable a bunch of times

but it just doesnt work i guess

is there a way to do it cleaner?

I put it in the loop and it's still doing the same thing

O_O

[wintry quarry]

declaring a variable has no performance impact

[plush zealot]

ah alright

[wintry quarry]

I mean yeah you can do this much cleaner

List<ElementPage> importD = new List<ElementPage>();
string[] elements = ["fire", "earth", "water", "wind", "lighting", "dark", "light"];
for(int i=0; i < 30; i++)
{
    int e = Random.Range(0, elements.Length);
    ElementPage toAdd = new ElementPage(elements[e],1);
    importD.Add(toAdd);
    Debug.Log($"element of added card: {toAdd.element}. currently there are {importD.Count} cards in the Deck.");
}```

this is really all you need

[plush zealot]

huh it is thx xD

problem solved though idk what happened but it works now

[river pecan]

Is there a built in method to check the distance where 2 colliders overlap?

[naive pawn]

what value are you actually trying to find?

an overlap would be an area or a volume

perhaps draw out a diagram?

[river pecan]

Like the distance between these 2 lines

Where the colliders overlap

[naive pawn]

just the horizontal overlap?

[river pecan]

Yeah

[naive pawn]

i don't think there's a method for that exactly, but you can compute it from their bounds probably

[river pecan]

Yeah I'm trying to calculate movement with colliders in the sense of

Calculate total distance between colliders

Then the distance of the overlap

Then move both by half of whatever the smallest distance is

[naive pawn]

and you can't let the physics engine handle that?

that's called depenetration

[river pecan]

Well I don't want them to be able to jump on top of each other

[naive pawn]

you could probably just apply a force outwards

[river pecan]

I tried that but they can walk throught each other

[naive pawn]

and you don't want that?

[river pecan]

No

[naive pawn]

so you want them to collide horizontally but not vertically?

[river pecan]

Yes

If they jump on the opponent

They should be pushed back

And continue their fall

Ideally both characters pushed away by half the distance

[naive pawn]

ngl i feel like this would be jarring

[river pecan]

It's how every fighting game collision I've ever played functions

[naive pawn]

hm, maybe i just haven't really encountered it

i'm thinking of minecraft collision lol

wait so - if you walk into another player, you should just be stopped?

and then if you jump on top of another player, you would then be teleported outwards to depenetrate?

or pushed out over time?

[river pecan]

Push out the frame they collide

They push each other

When you land on top of one another

[naive pawn]

so teleported, but narrow hitboxes so it's not super jarring?

[river pecan]

Yeah

I was thinking you could like

[naive pawn]

gotcha, that makes more sense

[river pecan]

Calculate the total distance

Calculate the overlap distance

Teleport both by half the smallest distance

[naive pawn]

then yeah it would be this, assuming they're axis-aligned boxes or capsules

[river pecan]

They're box colliders

[naive pawn]

and are they axis-aligned?

[river pecan]

Axis-aligned?

What is that?

I assume like they're on the same Z-axis?

[eternal needle]

something like this?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.ComputePenetration.html

[river pecan]

This looks like it'd work, I will update if it do worky

[naive pawn]

basically, are they at right angles to world axes

[river pecan]

Yes, the squares never rotate

[naive pawn]

damn, the 2d version doesn't have it 😭

[eternal needle]

think 2d is just under a different name https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.Distance.html
apparently can be used for the overlap but i dont do 2d

[tropic orbit]

Can someone help me with this code because when i run it nothing happens when i press spacebar

[naive pawn]

it doesn't give depenetration info

[naive pawn]

make sure you've saved and recompiled

[eternal needle]

it does in the ColliderDistance2D

[river pecan]

Yeah that's unfortunate

[naive pawn]

ahhh missed that, thanks

[river pecan]

Oh okay

[naive pawn]

make sure to project the vector and probably also fix the distance, btw
direction is probably normalized so you could do direction*distance and project that probably
so you get horizontal depenetration

[naive pawn]

mmm not sure about that one

we don't really allow advertisement here. unsure if that counts

[river pecan]

Being the thinker

If I could get both insert positions

[polar acorn]

#1179447338188673034

[polar acorn]

Try logging before setting the velocity and make sure the code runs

[naive pawn]

doesn't the yellow box on the left mean unsaved changes

[eternal needle]

if you're actually expecting a code review, you should just paste a link to git or somewhere we can read the code without downloading it
Otherwise this is just an ad

[river pecan]

Get the positions of both these lines that represet the full overlap

Then just subtract their x positions

Cuz that's how I'm doing the camera zoom

So possibly

[naive pawn]

finish a though before hitting enter please

[sour fulcrum]

god i love ms paint drawings

[river pecan]

Oh okay, I have a habit of separating lines in discord

[eternal needle]

you have the bounds already from the colliders, along with the position. its pretty trivial to calculate what you want here assuming it should always only push the characters left or right.

[river pecan]

I did this and got my desired effect

float overlapDistance = Mathf.Abs((transform.position.x + (transform.localScale.x / 2)) - (collision.transform.position.x - (collision.transform.localScale.x / 2)));

[naive pawn]

🤨 that's not taking into account the size of the colliders

[river pecan]

I have it done in a hack ass way

So basically

Every collider is 1, 1

[naive pawn]

buddy use full sentences

[river pecan]

Sorry, bad habit

[eternal needle]

if the collider is on some child object which is scaled up then sure, but if you have some weird scaling on every single parent object then id reconsider your setup

[naive pawn]

you really should just use the sizing the collider provides instead of the scale

easier to manage, doesn't affect other stuff

[river pecan]

Every player collider is a child of the player. The colliders all have (1, 1) size, and the size is determined by scale of the transform. So that I can have the hitbox physically able to be seen.

[naive pawn]

So that I can have the hitbox physically able to be seen.
none of what you said, specifically enables that

[river pecan]

I have a sprite renderer on the collider object

[naive pawn]

for visualization at runtime?

or what?

the gizmos are a thing yknow lol

[river pecan]

Visualization in runtime

[naive pawn]

yeah can't you just use gizmos for that

[river pecan]

That's why I have it the hack way

[eternal needle]

gizmos dont display in a build

[naive pawn]

....would one want the hitboxes to show up in the build?

[river pecan]

Yes

There should be an option to turn them on and off

Ideally in fighting games

[naive pawn]

aight then

[river pecan]

Being able to visualise every hit/hurt box is important

[rigid pike]

Hi, i'm trying to make breakout clone, i just recently started learning Unity. I wrote this code for the ball movement, but no matter what value i enter, it still goes the same speed. Even if i use Time.deltaTime it still doesn't change anything. Can anyone help?

using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class BallScript : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float ballSpeedX = 10;
    public float ballSpeedY = 1;
    public Rigidbody2D BallRigidBody;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        BallRigidBody.linearVelocity = new Vector2(ballSpeedX, ballSpeedY);
    }
}

[hexed terrace]

when you change the value - where are you changing it? Here in the code?

[rigid pike]

yes

nevermind figured it out. this seems to work for some reason:

using Unity.VisualScripting;
using UnityEngine;

public class BallScript : MonoBehaviour
{

    public float ballSpeedX;
    public float ballSpeedY;
    public Rigidbody2D BallRigidBody;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        ballSpeedX = 2;
        ballSpeedY = 1;
}

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        BallRigidBody.linearVelocity = new Vector2(ballSpeedX, ballSpeedY);
    }
}

if i set the values in start

[hexed terrace]

Part of the point of using public' is to expose the value to the inspector. This 'serializes' the field (saves it), so any changes you make in the code these values are not updated in the scene

If you want to change the values , then you do it in the inspector on the selected object

[rigid pike]

alright thank you!

[hexed terrace]

that way you can change them at run time (they won't be saved) and have different objects with different values

Your script just needs to be this

using UnityEngine;

public class BallScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float ballSpeedX = 10;
    public float ballSpeedY = 1;
    public Rigidbody2D ballRigidBody;

    void Update()
    {
        ballRigidBody.linearVelocity = new Vector2(ballSpeedX, ballSpeedY);
    }
}```

there's nothing visual scripting related in it (atm anyway) -> remove the namespace use
Start is empty -> remove
those comments are messy -> remove, unless you like the reminder

[rigid pike]

this doesn't work

[ivory bobcat]

What didn't work?

[rigid pike]

this code

but the one where i put the ballSpeedX = 10; in start works

[ivory bobcat]

Did setting a default value and assigning the value through the inspector not work?

I'm guessing there's a language barrier or something.

[hexed terrace]

it does work.

[rigid pike]

Oh right it works through the inspector, i keep forgetting sorry

i dont use inspector that much, only to assign for example the rigidbody so i didnt think of it even when you told me to do so. i gotta do some repetition to remember it :D

[rough granite]

Well you should start. The minute you make a variable public or use [SerializeField] (that is serializable) the value changed in code isn't updated for all instances on objects.

[silver fern]

can I have multiple different variables with the same name inside of an array or similar?

[sour fulcrum]

you seem to maybe have a misunderstanding somewhere here

lets say i have a

int myIntNamedBobby this variable is this box

this box holds a int

and lets say i have

int[] myIntArrayNamedJames

this box can hold 16 ints

but this box holds 16 values, not 16 boxes

actually shit example since that container does contain 16 boxes

the array doesn't hold 16 different named variables

it's 1 variable holding 16 values

[rough granite]

Unless you use OOP which then yeah it still doesn't matter

[sour fulcrum]

no

[silver fern]

I'm thinking about how to implement debuffs. The debuffs are different and come from different sources so they would each have their own timer, and I thought about creating time variables on demand and pushing them into an array so they can be checked in Update() instead of predefining dozens of timer variables in case I might need that many

[sour fulcrum]

it doesn't matter what your storing

[night mural]

an array is a data structure which contains multiple values, accessible by their 'offset' (represented by an index)

it can be stored in a variable just as an integer can

[sour fulcrum]

i have no idea why you have said this

[night mural]

because it's a better way to think about what you're trying to say than your picture with all the boxes

[rough granite]

No i know that's what i am agreeing with but also saying that if you were storing classes and you declared the class with names you can add two of the same declaration / variable name to an array.

[silver fern]

but the variables in the array would then all have the same name

[sour fulcrum]

variables don't go in arrays

[rough granite]

That doesn't matter

[sour fulcrum]

values do

[night mural]

you probably want a structure to represent a debuff and an amount of time remaining on it and then you would have a list of those which you add/remove from (or a dictionary keyed by debuff type, depending)

then some kind of debuff controller, either on the unit or more broadly which ticks down those debuffs

[silver fern]

My idea was to have a dictionary of debuff names with effects. When the debuff attack comes in, the debuff controller would pull the effects from that dictionary, apply them to the unit and start a corresponding timer, which removes the effect when it runs out

[rough granite]

A dictionary and array are different

Why ask about an array when you planned to use a dictionary

[silver fern]

the dictionary is just to translate a debuff name to the effects that need to be applied

the array would have been to store the timers

[rough granite]

Why not have a class as they array data type?

[silver fern]

how so

[patent wedge]

should i check ground type via tag or layer?

[sour fulcrum]

ideally component but tag is better than layer\

[rough granite]

Create a class something like

public class DebuffData
{
    public string DebuffName;
    public float DebuffLength;

    public DebuffData(string DebuffName, float DebuffLength)
    {
         this.DebuffName = DebuffName;
         this.DebuffLength = DebuffLength;
    }
}

public class DebuffController : MonoBehaviour
{
    DebuffData Debuff1 = (("DebuffName"), 1f );
    public DebuffData[] Debuffs;

    private void Start()
    {
         Debuffs = new DebuffData[] {Debuff1, Debuff1};
    }
 // change the second Debuff1 to whatever Debuff you make 
}

and use that as the array type.

Took a bit to write since im on my phone :/

[silver fern]

is the public DebuffData(string DebuffName, float DebuffLength) a method?

I don't really understand what you wrote I think

especially not the second box

[rough granite]

Yeah a constructor method

[rough granite]

Fair i think i messed something up

One sec, fixed

[patent wedge]

for some reason hit.collider.tag is always returning "Untagged"?

[sour fulcrum]

that collider's tag is untagged

[silver fern]

why does the array need Debuff1 twice?

[rough granite]

It doesn't i just didn't feel like writing out a debuff2 to put in its place and a single value array seemed pointless.

[silver fern]

and that debuff1 has to already be predefined in that controller class?

[sour fulcrum]

nope

[silver fern]

because of DebuffData Debuff1 = (("DebuffName"), 1f );

[rough granite]

No you can define it in the array i just didn't have intellisense to fix my writing since i wrote this on phone in discord

[silver fern]

so I can leave that line out basically

[rough granite]

If you do that when you fill out Debuffs it needs to be like this Debuffs = new DebuffData[] {new DebuffData(("DebuffName"), DebuffLength)};

[silver fern]

{

    public DebuffData[] Debuffs;

    private void Start()
    {
         Debuffs = new DebuffData[] {};
    }
 // change the second Debuff1 to whatever Debuff you make 
}```

initialize it like that?

[rough granite]

No this would leave the array empty

[silver fern]

it has to be empty at the start, the debuffs come in from outside

[rough granite]

You might be wanting to use a list they can be dynamically sized

Arrays cant

[silver fern]

ah

yeah the amount of debuffs would be variable

it has to be able to store any number of them

[slender nymph]

then use a list

[rough granite]

Then yeah use List<DebuffData> Debuffs = new List<DebuffData>();

[silver fern]

alright cool thanks

public DebuffData[] Debuffs; would still be array though right? since that holds the name and length

[rough granite]

No that wouldn't be needed

But that is an empty array

[silver fern]

so to recap ```public class DebuffData
{
public string DebuffName;
public float DebuffLength;

public DebuffData(string DebuffName, float DebuffLength)
{
     this.DebuffName = DebuffName;
     this.DebuffLength = DebuffLength;
}

}

public class DebuffController : MonoBehaviour
{

private void Start()
{
     List<DebuffData> Debuffs = new List<DebuffData>();
}

}```

like that?

[rough granite]

Uh move the list out of start

[silver fern]

so just public class DebuffController : MonoBehaviour { List<DebuffData> Debuffs = new List<DebuffData>(); }

[rough granite]

Yeah

[silver fern]

alright nice

[rough granite]

Make it public or add a method to the class to add a debuff to it

[silver fern]

ok cool thanks

[rough granite]

And to add a debuff you can do Debuffs.Add(new DebuffData(DebuffName, DebuffLength);

Assuming you put it in a method

So it'd be

public void AddDebuf(string DebuffName, float DebuffLength)
{
    var Debuff = New DebuffData (DebuffName, DebuffLength);
    Debuffs.Add(Debuff);
}

[silver fern]

once it times out I can just use the iterator variable in a loop as id to remove the entry from the list right?

[sour fulcrum]

yup, or the reference itself

Debuffs.Remove(myDebuffReference) is also valid (assuming its in there)

[silver fern]

what's the reference?

[sour fulcrum]

as in a reference to a value

wherever you may have that

[silver fern]

I have two values for each list entry

well I gotta loop through it anyway to check each timer so id is probably easiest

I guess I'll have a second list that stores ids to be removed at the end of each loop

[rough granite]

Well you could in update use a foreach debuff in debuffs and reduce the debuff.DebuffLength -= Time.DeltaTime;
Then do if (debuff.DebuffLength <= 0);
Mark it to be removed and remove it after the loop is done.

[silver fern]

that seems more complicated

also how do I mark entries inside of a list

[sour fulcrum]

i know what your saying here but worth ensuring what specifically is happening here

you don't have two values for each list entry,

you have one value for each entry which has two values

[silver fern]

yeah

I'd do something like for(var i=0;i<debuffs.Count;i++) to check each list entry's timer, store the value of i in a second list if the timer runs out, and then remove all id's in that second list from debuffs

[sour fulcrum]

your over complicating it

for(int i=0; i< Debuffs.Count; i++)
    if (debuff.DebuffLength <= 0)
       Debufffs.RemoveAt(i);

[silver fern]

oh I can just remove them during the loop?

[sour fulcrum]

or whatever you want

yes but actually theres a part of that i forgot

you can't remove them during a foreach loop and also you want a reverse for loop

for (int i = myArray.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
{
    // Do something
}

eg

[silver fern]

why's that?

[grand snow]

^ yea make sure to itterate backwards if you remove elements in that same loop

[cosmic dagger]

If you remove from a loop during iteration, you must do it bakcwards . . .

[sour fulcrum]

it just be like that

[grand snow]

When you remove an element, the ones after get moved up by -1

if itterating forwards you will then skip over an element

[cosmic dagger]

When you remove an item from a list, all items after it shift down . . .

[silver fern]

that makes sense

[grand snow]

a,b,c,d
remove c
a,b,_,d
shift up elements
a,b,d

[silver fern]

then d would have the same id as c did before right

[grand snow]

yep which is why itterating backwards is best and is often more efficient if removing many elements

[sour fulcrum]

another nitpick but it's not really an id, index is the explicit term for whats going on here

[daring sentinel]

Any idea where after reloading the current scene, the game freezes?

[rich adder]

just to add to this, a foreach wouldn't work because you cannot modify collection during iteration since it makes the collection immutable

[sour fulcrum]

i only point it out because id might imply the id itself has some sort of connection with the related value where in this case the index is just where something is in the collection, it's not specific to what that thing is, that just happens to be whats there

[rich adder]

no you're giving us no context

[silver fern]

alright thanks

yeah by id I meant index

[daring sentinel]

using System;
using UnityEngine;
using Cysharp.Threading.Tasks;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
using UnityEditor;

public class OptionsMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    public ButtonHandler buttonsUI;
    public GameObject NPCDialoguePanel;
    public GameObject playerDialoguePanel;
    public GameObject dialogueOptionsPanel;
    public GameObject ResultsCanvas;
    public GameObject WinScreen;
    public GameObject gameOverScreen;


    public event Action<int> optionSelected;
    private bool sceneEnd = false;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    protected virtual void Awake()
    {
        ResultsCanvas.SetActive(false);
        NPCDialoguePanel.SetActive(true);
        dialogueOptionsPanel.SetActive(false);
        playerDialoguePanel.SetActive(false);
        GameState.decisionTime += chooseOption;
        GameState.sceneResults += (isWinner) => { displayResults(isWinner); };
        AnimationController.NPCResponse += () => TogglePlayerPanel(false);

    }

{...}

    public void nextLevel()
    {
        Debug.Log("Loading next level");

        return;
    }

    public void restart()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);
    }

    public void QuitGame()
    {
        #if UNITY_EDITOR 
            UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
        #else
            Application.Quit();
        #endif
    }   
    protected virtual void OnDestroy()
    {
        GameState.decisionTime -= chooseOption;
        GameState.sceneResults -= (isWinner) => { displayResults(isWinner); };
    }

}

This is the code I have that reloads the scene

[grand snow]

using a lambda to unsub like that doesnt work

[rich adder]

could be not the reload scene script but probably other scripts in the scene

.also yeah assign actual method to the event if you want to properly unsub

[grand snow]

you can also store it in a delegate var like Action to unsubscribe correctly later but using a method is easier.

[daring sentinel]

What happens is that it plays the game fine, it just has this issue on reloading the scene if the player wants to restart the level

[rich adder]

by freezing what do you mean exactly? does the unity editor crash or

[daring sentinel]

No it just doesn't play, like it just becomes a still image, I can still exit out of play mode

[rich adder]

did you check the Console window for errors? could be pause on error is on

[daring sentinel]

Checked and there are no errors in the console, instead it's that the game's progress bars are now frozen and the timeline that plays when starting the game is not playing.

Also those Debug.Log messages are just in awake methods of scripts

[rich adder]

are you messing with TImescale at some point ?

[daring sentinel]

Oh I probably forgot to reset it then

[rich adder]

could explain why most things stop moving

esp if you have things with deltaTime

[daring sentinel]

Yeah I do in this method of the script I posted

    protected virtual void displayResults(bool isWinner)
    {
        ResultsCanvas.SetActive(true);
        WinScreen.SetActive(isWinner);
        gameOverScreen.SetActive(!isWinner);
        Time.timeScale = 0f;
   
    }

Thanks for the heads up, I'll try it out

@rich adder Thanks so much, it works now!

[rich adder]

yup remember static variables like that are global and don't reset on reloads of scenes

[daring sentinel]

yeah cuz they belong to the class init

[smoky ruin]

could someone help with this?

[rich adder]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEHtceu7FBw

[smoky ruin]

I did it here, but I didn't understand why the player's speed is being reduced when he goes down the slope

[slender nymph]

show your code

[rich adder]

yea cause something sound off.. it should only be doing it on a downslope

[smoky ruin]

I think I solved it

basically:public bool IsGrounded()
{
Vector3 bottom = transform.position - new Vector3(0, baseHitboxHeight / 2, 0);
RaycastHit hit;

if (Physics.Raycast(bottom, Vector3.down, out hit, groundCheckDistance, groundMask))
{
    
    characterController.Move(Vector3.down * hit.distance);
    return true;
}
return false;

}

[rough granite]

Odd way of doing it but alright

[smoky ruin]

and how could I do it?

I've been stuck on this for a few weeks now

[rough granite]

Well what you are doing is like adding a new force irrelevant to the players move speed that just forces it down at a speed of the distance the player is away from the ground. The proper way is geting the angle from your move direction and the ground and making the move direction face parallel to the ground while going the same direction as it was before

You are basically applying a second gravity force when not on the ground, and not too high up

[silver fern]

also you're doing it inside of the method that checks if you're grounded?

[rough granite]

Yeah this too.

[pliant coyote]

still having issues with my script, what is best way to spawn a ball prefab, and have it roll on the ground x distance?

its basically a similiar atatck to kogmaws ability if you are familiar in league of legends

[smoky ruin]

i highly recommend learning the basics of programming instead of using ai

schrodinger's error :)
annoys you for hours and then disappears the moment you try to show someone else

[pliant coyote]

yeah wtf lol

[naive pawn]

also, all that rb configuration should be generally done on the actual rb in the inspector instead of here

[smoky ruin]

main:https://hastebin.skyra.pw/pelevasamo.csharp, walkstate:https://hastebin.skyra.pw/mewenohiwi.csharp

[rough granite]

As someone who learnt c# through ai (i knew java before) i agree it took (about 7 months of 6 hours a day) quite awhile to get the basics down before i could get free from using ai.

[naive pawn]

i knew java before
you are in a different situation

also, damn that's really slow for already knowing such a similar language

[rough granite]

Shh i knew the basics from a single course

[naive pawn]

ah, the "hello world" way of "knowing a language" 😉

[rough granite]

Also the 7 months is what i consider it since i learnt it by making a game and once it was fully playable is when i considered myself to know c#

[sly vortex]

Coding with AI when you don't know code yourself will only ultimately end up destroying any decent size project you try to make with it. And once you get one error, just delete it and go back to the top. AI is NOT recommended

[rough granite]

I was saying that me using it didn't help much, but when i did use ai i never used ctrl+c, ctrl+v i read what it said tried to fix the variable names to how i would write them myself and fixed any bugs it made myself.

[rough granite]

Fair, i learnt the basics of (if statements, loops, methods, some OOP, and arrays) though i only had 2 weeks for each subject

[rough granite]

Also interestingly enough i wasnt told to do the print("hello world!"); it was print($"hello {teacherName}");

[naive pawn]

that's not c# nor java

[silver fern]

isn't that python

oh I didn't see the ;

[naive pawn]

python uses f"{x}", not $"{x}"

[silver fern]

right

[naive pawn]

(and you can use semis in python. it's not usually there by convention but it is allowed)

[eternal needle]

assuming they're just confusing it with the unity print method

[naive pawn]

fair

[rough granite]

Sorry Console.WriteLine($"hello {teachersname}");

[rough granite]

Can you use {}? I hated python cause of them not being there

[eternal needle]

i do often forget what method a language uses too, i use a few different languages/tools so theres like 6 different printing statements that I need. Kinda sucks when one is debug.log and another is log.debug

[vocal fjord]

wait what

[naive pawn]

i mean.. in a way, yes, but it won't be a block, it'll be a set, and only expressions will be allowed

[eternal needle]

but in unity id avoid using print also just because you dont have access to the 2nd parameter that debug.log has, which lets u specify an object to highlight

[vocal fjord]

this doesnt make sense :(

[naive pawn]

well, exactly as it says?

what does MonoBehaviourPun extend?

[smoky ruin]

lol

[vocal fjord]

it's for pun libraries or something

idk

[naive pawn]

oh it's from that Photon.Pun namespace?

[vocal fjord]

it wouldnt work properly if it wasnt that

[naive pawn]

i didn't notice that at first, thought that was your own

one sec

ok yeah it inherits MonoBehaviour

what's the name of the file?

[vocal fjord]

ye

its the same thing, PhotonVRPlayer

its really weird

since im making a fork of an open source thing on github, when i imported it, it had some wacky behaviour like that

no idea why

[naive pawn]

do you have any compiler errors

[vocal fjord]

nope

since its in a prefab it wont let me save it but i opened it like that

[naive pawn]

is it preventing you from adding the component?

[vocal fjord]

yea

[naive pawn]

..huh? scripts can't be in prefabs, they're files

[vocal fjord]

oops wait thats not what i meant sorry

i meant some of the scripts that were already in the gameobjects in the prefab made it so i couldnt actually save the prefab

[hexed terrace]

you can open prefabs with missing components, but it won't let you save the prefab - and you won't neccessilarly have compile errors

[naive pawn]

have you recompiled?

[smoky ruin]

somebody could help me with slope bounce?

[vocal fjord]

yeah, it was really weird

[naive pawn]

what was your question?

[vocal fjord]

i tried changing the name of the script and also the class (because some of the other scripts were acting like that and thats how i fixed it) but it didnt work for this one for whatever reason, ill try that

[smoky ruin]

basically when my player goes up a slope, he goes up normally, but when he goes down, he "bounces" on it

I've been stuck on this for a few weeks now, and I've already read several tutorials

[hexed terrace]

https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/movement/surface-contact/

[vocal fjord]

ok, i fixed it, i just set it as a regular MonoBehaviour because for some reason it isnt broken that way

im dumb

[vocal fjord]

ok i did NOT fix it

turns out im SUPER dumb and i need monobehaviourpun for photonview

[hexed terrace]

not knowing something != being dumb.

[vocal fjord]

according to unity MonoBehaviourPun is not a MonoBehaviour class

for

some reason

hmm what if i just put an empty monobehaviour class

along with the pun thing

yee it works

[polar acorn]

Unity will also say "Does not derive from MonoBehaviour" if a compile error is preventing it from actually compiling that class

even if the compile error is in a different class

[vocal fjord]

the script only has 1 class tho

[polar acorn]

A compile error in any script will prevent it from compiling changes to any other script

do you have any errors elsewhere?

[vocal fjord]

no, i dont have any compile errors

i think

wait lemme check

no i dont have any

[slender nymph]

if it isn't happening now then you don't, and i'd bet that at the time you either did or it was still compiling

[vocal fjord]

yeah maybe

[round mirage]

Hello i would like to use setActive(false) but i know it will disable my script on my gameObject does i have to disable every component (exept my script) if i want to let my script run even if the object dont exist or something else exist to do this ?

[slender nymph]

if you want a component to still update, then yes. the object it is attached to must be active in the scene. you can either disable all other components on that object like you suggested or you could separate it to a different object

[tacit prism]

What’s the point if char literal, since you can just use
console.writeline(“b”);

Instead of using the char literal with
‘b’

Started unity, reading up and learning more

[slender nymph]

well you can't assign "b" to a char variable, you can only assign a char to a char. a char is a single character

[naive pawn]

you can do math to chars

[slender nymph]

it's also a value type and really just an integer that displays as a character

[naive pawn]

strings are just arrays of chars

[tacit prism]

I just don’t like the examples there using, the way they show it makes me think initially it’s just a less efficient means of writeline

[naive pawn]

i mean it is trying to show the basics

it's not showing the practical use, it's showing an example use that you can play around with to understand

[tacit prism]

As you can tell I’m on my phone
Wish I had the built in console but since I’m at work I have to make do with this, slow day, might as well try to learn while I’m doing nothing

Net fiddle still works tho

Also if I understand this correctly

String uses “
Char uses ‘
And int uses none

[naive pawn]

you can't really compare the notation like that

integer notation is just a separate thing from strings and chars

there's a system of suffixes for the numerics instead

[ivory bobcat]

For the very basics of programming with C#, you can probably reach out to the csharp discord server - !csds

[eternal falcon]

Join the C# Discord server, a programming server aimed at coders discussing everything related to C# (CSharp) and .NET. https://discord.com/invite/csharp

[silver fern]

is there a way to have like a placeholder for a game object in a method dictionary?

[ivory bobcat]

What's a method dictionary?

[rich adder]

wdym a method dictionary

[tacit prism]

Already joined 3 servers to learn, I ask a lot of questions, so I try to spread them across these three so I don’t overwhelm

[silver fern]

well I'm storing my debuff effects in a dictionary that translates the debuff name to its effects, that way each effectcontroller can pull the effects from that dictionary so it all stays in one place. But now I'm wondering about how exactly to store a burn effect like dealing damage every second. Dealing damage is done through the damage controller of the player object, and the effect controller would have access to that but the dictionary wouldn't, so I wanted to put a placeholder for the damage controller in the dictionary

[tacit prism]

There’s just so much to not understand

[rough granite]

Whats gdl :?

[tacit prism]

Game dev league, very nice community that tolerates my questions

[rich adder]

in time things start to make more sense

[rough granite]

The fun of coding it's like puzzles but more dynamic and expandable

[tacit prism]

I love logic, there just so many ways of doing things and not doing things I seem to overwhelm myself

[rich adder]

Do what's easiest to you. Improve / refactoring later on if needed

[rocky heart]

guys i have a GameObject variable thats an instantiated object using GameObjectVariable = Instantiate(blah blah blah); and Destroy(GameObjectVariable); but it still says destroying assets is not permitted to avoid data loss

[rough granite]

I did this and it hurts to refactor 20+ classes that all build off each other, done it like 4 times now for one project and im not even done this last time cause it's that much bigger.

[ivory bobcat]

Although csharp is used for scripting with Unity and you'll get folks directing others who are wanting to learn csharp to the Microsoft learning resources, this server-channel mainly discusses beginner coding concepts with csharp in Unity and not plain csharp console programming. Just wanted to direct you to the proper community for the proper discussion/support. I mean, folks here (on the server channel) would talk about programming fundamentals overall but it's probably a bit off topic tbh

[rich adder]

If it works you typically leave it as is, refactoring is last resort, for improving readability for maintenance or perhaps improvement for speed

[tacit prism]

The way the csharp community has it set up is a forum for questions, which feels less inviting than just an open channel lmao, because forums stay around and group up based on activity.

I’ll try not to move my questions here if yall want

[ivory bobcat]

You'd want to destroy the instance and not the prefab. Likely you're destroying the prefab and not the instance. Seeing the actual code would probably allow folks to point out any mistakes or misunderstandings you may have in the code.

[rich adder]

General talk channel is fine you don't need to use threads

[tacit prism]

Idk there’s some communities out there with pricks that “erm u need to use the proper area for questions” and such. Try not to encroach on those people

[rough granite]

Well the thing is it worked for what it was but didn't for expanding like the current thing im doing is making my weapons instead of each be their own class basically doing nearly the same thing is using SOs and a large library of options to change how the weapon works.

[rich adder]

yea if your previous code didn't allow extension on it then you'd typically want a refactoring or sometimes just rewrite

[silver fern]

I suppose I could add a dictionary of controllers and store a string together with the method in the effects dictionary so the effect controller knows what to do with it

[rough granite]

The previous thing i had to refactor was my StatsController, SkillsConntroller, and SkillList as it also wasn't expandable and was often buggy when testing and yet here i am refactoring that again to use SOs that go hand in hand with the weapon refactoring so i dont need to create new skills for each weapon.

[rough granite]

Yeah also completely deleted my whole enemy data and rewriting that rn too.

[rich adder]

Tbh sometimes is better/quicker to just rewrite than refactoring. Especially if you have some lessons/takeaways learned from previous ways

[cosmic dagger]

☝️ This is true as well . . .

[silver fern]

it doesn't actually work

debuffs are a headache

I think my whole idea doesn't actually work

[grand snow]

an OO approach would be adding an instance that is able to apply some effect via virtual functions/interface

[ivory bobcat]

If there aren't too many.. probably a state manager would suffice unless you're needing to know info about the source etc

[silver fern]

there's 28 different ones rn but there could be more later

and they affect different things, like one deals damage, another reduces movement speed, things that are handled in different controllers

the effect controller was supposed to take the effect, apply it to the correct controller, and end the effect when the timer runs out

[round mirage]

and does something to acces all component of a specified type in childrens of my gameObject exist ?

[silver fern]

and the effects should be stored in a common dictionary instead of being copypasted into every effect controller

[slender nymph]

Did you happen to check the docs?

[silver fern]

I suppose the question is, how to have the dictionary tell the effect controller where to apply the effects

[grand snow]

you have instances of these on the objects they effect instead?

[silver fern]

how do you mean?

[grand snow]

If my player can have effects then it can have a list of effect instances

[silver fern]

yes

[grand snow]

sounds like you went the other way, some class that applies effects to objects

[silver fern]

well it also keeps a list of them

[cosmic dagger]

You'll need to create some type of pipeline with an order of operations for each type of effect, like Flat +/-, Percentage +/-, Resistances, Crit, etc . . .

If you're using SOs, you'll need to create instances of C# classes during runtime to track modified data . . .

[silver fern]

hang on I'll make a paste of my code to show you what I mean

[cosmic dagger]

Oddly enough, I'm doing smth similar right now. I only wanted to create a damage system to funnel through one point. Then I added damage types and it's blown up . . .

[silver fern]

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

this the controller, the object and the dictionary

(delete from here so you don't get told off for crossposting)

[grand snow]

😴

[pliant bramble]

Okay, thanks 🙂

[silver fern]

I'm not sure what you meant here

[grand snow]

Your current design does keep a list of "EffectObject" so if each thing that can have effects has their own list and instances then that should make it easier to manage.

I presume these Effect objects will modify/manipulate stats in some way so this also simplifies how that works

[silver fern]

that's already the case, each character has their own effect controller

but how do I get it to apply the effect to the right places?

[cosmic dagger]

I guess it depends how your effects integrate into your stats . . .

[grand snow]

well you need to design that.
If your player has stats in a dictionary such as Dictionary<string, float> then either when the effect is added it is given the chance to modify these OR when you try to get a stat the effects have a chance to modify the result.

Basically you need to plan out what can be modified and then how it can be done in a generic way for all effects

e.g.

public float GetStat(string statname)
{
  float stat = stats[statname];
  foreach(var effect in effects)
  {
    stat = effect.ModifyStat(stat, statname);
  }
  return stat;
}

some things may not work well with such a system but some things will

[silver fern]

some affect stats but others for example deal damage every second

[grand snow]

Then you can provide the effect with a ref to the player its attached to so it can do things when active?

e.g. tick effects each Update() so they can do stuff

Then some effect can choose to deal damage to the player every x seconds cant it?

[silver fern]

yes, that was my original question. for that I need some kind of placeholder for the player ref in the dictionary

[grand snow]

Okay that honestly makes no sense to me

[silver fern]

or how do I do this

[vital vault]

how should i move player in 3D for FPS?

[grand snow]

If EffectController exists alongside your player then it can allow the current EffectObjects to modify that player right?

[rich adder]

Keyboard or controller

[small valve]

Take a look at some tutorial on yt

or somewhere

idk

[vital vault]

i mean how do i alter player pos

[vital vault]

i do not want to just paste

[grand snow]

@silver fern

public class EffectObject
{
  protected Player player;

  public EffectObject(Player player)
  {
    this.player = player;

[rich adder]

Rigidbody or Charactrr controllrt

[small valve]

I meant the explained tutorials, not just a copy and paste bro

[vital vault]

what should i use

also i want to add jumps

[silver fern]

ahh, so I should just store each kind of buff or debuff in its own class with methods overriding EffectObject

that makes sense

[grand snow]

I dont know what you planned to do before but this is how id do it

[silver fern]

well I was storing each effect in a dictionary translating effect name to effect method

but I suppose this is better

[grand snow]

yea thats not great, using object oriented programming correctly is the way to go

its why it exists

[rich adder]

Try both and see which one feels best, there is no set solution. All depends on how you want it to feel. CC Is easiest to get goin

[silver fern]

I see, thanks

[vital vault]

i think i will use rb cuz of gravity

[vital vault]

i just tried using _rb.AddForce and it was like dogshit

[grand snow]

btw in my example it will moan about public virtual void OnTick(); as it should instead be:

public virtual void OnTick() {}
//or
public abstract void OnTick();

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html

Making gravity with CC is not big deal... a few lines of code.. with dynamic RB you will be struggling with other issues

[vital vault]

what exactly

also i need to be able to slide if like on a ramp or smth

[rich adder]

None of those things are specific to one controller

[vital vault]

will cc be able to slide

[rich adder]

Rb has weird issues sometimes like dealing with outside forces or sticking to walls without the material trick

[rich adder]

Like I said, yes none of that is specific to rb

[cosmic dagger]

Personally, I have a Stat class that holds a list of modifiers. The Modifier class has the Value (of the de/buff), the Priority (the order in which it's applied) and how it's applied (flat add/sub, percentage add/sub, or percentage multiplied) . . .

[vital vault]

outside forces?

im making a really bare bones shooter lol

[rich adder]

Yes other rididbodies for example , friction , etc.

[grand snow]

I've done a similar system recently, where some modifiers are checked first to either multiply or add something to the stat before retrieval.

[vital vault]

i think it wont be much of an issue

[cosmic dagger]

Yeah, when a modifier is added to a Stat, it calculates the final value, but does so in a specific order so scaling is always the same. I use SOs as ScriptableObject enums to drag-and-drop the priority. They just have a value on them . . .

[grand snow]

Mine was different, stats were stored in a dictionary (key as enum, float as value) and a modifier collection class held modification instances that were checked as a stat was retrieved

[cosmic dagger]

I see. Where you had an enum and float for the dict, I had an SO enum (basically, an SO with the name of the Stat) as the key, and the Stat class as the value. The stats stored their own modifiers to keep it in one spot . . .

[grand snow]

I at one point needed to have modifications shared by whole groups of objects so I did it this way so they could all share 1 instance of this "modifier collection"

[silver fern]

in my case the modifiers are dynamic so I can't store them in a class

[grand snow]

plenty of ways to do it

[cosmic dagger]

You can, most modifiers are reactive (dynamic) where they're applied temporarily . . .

[grand snow]

Just did what i needed for that game

I also had the option for time limited ones

[silver fern]

wait, if I store each kind of debuff in its own class, how do I actually add one to the list?

I can't just pass a string with the debuff name to get the right one anymore

[dark herald]

Good evening, I have a physics problem. I would like to make the wheels turn, but I can't do it. Where can I ask my question? Thank you!

[grand snow]

each effect instance can store its name so you can find it again

[silver fern]

how do I do that then? loop through all the class files in the effects directory and check the name of each?

[grand snow]

Well you can change it to Dictionary<string, EffectObject> to make it quicker but you had it as a List<> in the shared code

[silver fern]

there could be multiple instances of the same debuff so a dictionary wouldn't work I think

rn I have var effect = new EffectObject(characterController2D, damageController, effectAuthorityLevel, effectMultiplier, effectDuration); EffectsList.Add(effect);
but instead of EffectObject it would have to be PoisonEffect or SlowEffect or whatever

[grand snow]

well you can still loop over them to find one that meets your criteria
e.g. if(effect is PoisonClass) or if(effect.name = effectName

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/type-testing-and-cast#the-is-operator

[silver fern]

loop over the class files yes?

[grand snow]

*elements in the list

you need to brush up on your c# and oo programming

[silver fern]

for example I have a string saying "Poison" or "PoisonEffect" and I need to find the correct effect class to add to the list

[grand snow]

Ah well you would ideally do this in your code:

player.AddEffect(new PoisonEffect(player));

its easier to just create the object of the correct type where required

If the system needs to be more flexable then you may need to have a more complex system to perform the object creation
You can use reflection to locate the type and create an instance but may be a bit advanced

[silver fern]

ok but how do I translate the string "Poison" into PoisonEffect(player)

[grand snow]

If you must do it that way then you need something to map a string to creating the correct object

switch(effectName)
{
  case "Poison":
    return new PoisonEffect();
}

again, learning more c# will help you figure out what to do

[silver fern]

that's what I'm doing

ok thanks

[grand snow]

using a string is not as good as using a custom enum

[silver fern]

I could do that too

[cosmic grotto]

Hi I have been trying to implement a main camera follow script and I have the object I want the camera to follow moving but camera only looks and rotates when the script was attached but does not move when the object moves and yesterday I remove the script and tried the cinemachine camera and I have only got the same results?

[dark herald]

Good evening, I am trying to make my wheel stay fixed but can move except that it circles on itself but it does not stay fixed, how can I correct this?

Thanks

[ivory bobcat]

You'll probably need to provide more info for people to give proper suggestions

[grand snow]

if using a rigidbody you can freeze axis movement

[cosmic grotto]

Hi this is code I have written so far. Not sure if this info is any help?
// The target that your camera will look at.
// Drag your ship's Transform into this field in the Inspector.
[SerializeField]
private Transform target;

// The speed at which the camera smoothly rotates to look at the target.
// Adjust this for a smoother or more immediate camera turn.
[Range(0.1f, 10.0f)]
[SerializeField]
private float smoothSpeed = 3.0f;

// Offset from the target (ship) to the camera
[SerializeField]
private Vector3 offset = new Vector3(0, 5, 8);

// LateUpdate is the best place for camera logic.
// It runs once per frame, after all other Update() and FixedUpdate() calls.
private void LateUpdate()
{
    //Debug.Log("cameraLookAt LateUpdate");
    // Essential check: If no target is assigned, the script stops to prevent errors.
    if (target == null)
    {
        Debug.LogWarning("CameraLookAt: Target is not assigned. Please drag the ship's Transform to the Target field in the Inspector.");
        return;
    }

    // Use local-space offset so camera stays behind the ship as it rotates
    Vector3 desiredPosition = target.position + target.TransformDirection(offset);
    // Smoothly move the camera to the desired position
    transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPosition, smoothSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

    // Rotate the camera to look at the target
    Vector3 directionToTarget = target.position - transform.position;
    Quaternion desiredRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(directionToTarget);
    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, desiredRotation, smoothSpeed * Time.deltaTime);

    //Debug.Log("Camera position: {transform.position}, Desired: {desiredPosition}, Ship position: {target.position}");
}

[fickle plume]

@small valve Actually read #📖┃code-of-conduct and don't spam off-topic

[small valve]

okay okay fine

[eternal needle]

if the camera was not moving with your object using your script or cinemachine, then you were probably following the wrong target. Cinemachine is highly configurable so id suggest just sticking with that. Though you should add logs to see why this script is not moving your camera if you wanted to find the issue

[vital vault]

how should i move non kinematic rigidbody for first person controller

[rocky canyon]

probably MovePosition()

[vital vault]

thanks

how can i rotate vector?

[silver fern]

quaternion probably easiest

[rocky canyon]

quaternion yes

heres how i do rotation.. (but for rigidbody it'd be a bit different) not sure exactly what ud use fo ra rigidbody

[vital vault]

i mean...

i need to rotate vector

around some axis

but i think...

[silver fern]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/ScriptReference/Quaternion.html look here

[vital vault]

im kinda caveman

[vital vault]

so i think i will just use trigonometry

[rocky canyon]

yea look here..

[grand snow]

you can do Quaternion * Vector3 to rotate a vector

[rocky canyon]

this is all the methods u can use

for rigidbody theres MoveRotation() that u can use like the MovePosition()

best thing to do is start experimenting

look at methods.. then try to implement what u think fits best

u can expose the values in the editor.. or use debug.logs and just see what happens w/ the values

[sturdy vigil]

Hello guys, i have a question. I want to make a really big 2D world and i want to use a mesh. Do you know where i can learn how to do it?

[rocky canyon]

the more u practice the easier it comes

if u want to use a mesh and not a sprite its probably a 2.5D and not 2D

u can ignore one of the axis and have it act just as a 2d one would.. (u can still use all the sprites, 2d packages, all the 2d physics stuff and code) just in a 3D scene instead

like dis

[sturdy vigil]

omg

[rocky canyon]

all game are technically 3D in unity anyway 😄

the 2d scenes/templates just do certain things to make it appear 2D

[sturdy vigil]

and do you know where i can learn to do this? i started the catlike coding tutorials but they seem to complex

[rocky canyon]

what do u mean? like the basics and stuff?

[silver fern]

something like this?

https://www.codementor.io/@nick_gamesdeveloper/eye-openers-improved-2d-side-scroller-terrain-in-unity-p7apg8ee8

[rocky canyon]

most ppl will tell u to use unity !learn
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFt_AvWsXl0fnA91TcmkRyhhixX9CO3Lw i actually learned alot from this tutorial series tho

[eternal falcon]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

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

[sturdy vigil]

yeah something like that

but more blocky, like terraria

[sturdy vigil]

ill watch it then ^^

[rocky canyon]

ohh u mean specifically the 2d terrain stuff

[sturdy vigil]

yeah like that

i dont know if i should use a tilemap or meshes, but searching i found meshes are better if i want to make a big world

because they are more performance friendly than the tilemap

[rocky canyon]

yea, if i had to chose id chose mesh's over tilemaps b/c i hate tilemaps 😄

but they're not really compareable most of the time.. ones for one thing anothers for another thing.. but yea both can be used kinda interchangeably

[sturdy vigil]

yeah tilemaps are more easy to implement than meshes

i mean i have the logic though but dont really know how to code it

[rocky canyon]

what specifically?

or just in general?

[sturdy vigil]

i know how meshes work the coordinates and the triangles and the arrays to save the data but dont know how to code it

[rocky canyon]

if u search terraria unity you'll find some devlogs and stuff

it may help guide you torwards more specific things to look up

im a 3d guy so i dont really know much tbh

[sturdy vigil]

oh okay dont worry you have helped a lot

[sturdy vigil]

ill try looking for that

[rocky canyon]

sounds like ur already on the right path

thats sorta how tilemaps would work

u just keep a collection of the pieces of the terrain

however u end up deciding to do that

im ass at procedural stuff as well 😄

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_XtOOhxRsWY

but yea ^ stuff like this... might find a gem in the bunch

[sturdy vigil]

im only starting to learn about it and its a pain 🤣🤣 a lot of maths

[rocky canyon]

ya, you'll have to know a bit of math

its not super bad tho.. b/c unity has lots of functions (especially like in the Mathf class) that does alot of the common stuff for u

[sturdy vigil]

thats neat

thanks!

[rocky canyon]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.html

no problem! 👍

[vital vault]

yea i did this

float cosa = Mathf.Cos(transform.rotation.y);
float sina = Mathf.Sin(transform.rotation.y);

float newX = moveInput.x*cosa - moveInput.z*sina;
float newZ = moveInput.x*sina + moveInput.z*cosa;

moveInput.x = newX;
moveInput.z = newZ;

Vector3 moveVelocity = moveInput*_speed*Time.deltaTime;

[grand snow]

well yea you can 2d rotate like this but you dont have to...

[vital vault]

i know

but its just more familiar to me

i used to program my lil opengl games so im more used to rotate it in such way

[grand snow]

well yea you can do it manually like this, create a matrix or use a Quaternion

[vital vault]

and i forgot something

exactly deg2rad

[grand snow]

yea there are constants provided to go from deg to radians and back

[vital vault]

i know that, thanks for one tutor i watched that explained raycasts and prefab shooting, it was in 2D and i noticed this convinient way

lol

i just pulled y from transform.rotation and i forgot that it was a quaternion

should i store camera as Camera or Transform?

[primal trench]

is there a way to make a monobehavior script, add context, and run it on runtime?

not context

uh, contents

[vital vault]

what contents

[primal trench]

like...what's in the script

[vital vault]

monobehavour scripts run on runtime huh

[rough granite]

like what, are you asking if you can change code mid runtime

[primal trench]

no i need to make an entirely new monobehavior script, but nvm i thought of another way to do what i want

[vital vault]

how should i store camera? as camera or as Transform (or gameobject)

[rocky canyon]

just depends.. (if ur not accessing the variables of the Camera component) you can use Transform..

if u need to access the component u can cache it as a Camera instead.

[vital vault]

ok

cuz i only need to move it

[rocky canyon]

u can also just use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera-main.html Camera.main

if its the Camera thats tagged as Main Camera

[rocky canyon]

i just use a Transform.. b/c most of the time I parent my Camera under a gameobject (Camera Holder) and move it around instead

and i have many transforms doing different things (swaying, camera breathing effect, etc)

[vital vault]

i would do it too, but there is a lil thing...

[smoky ruin]

Dude, unity is going to kill me one day

[vital vault]

im not coding MonoBehavour script, but NetworkBehavour...

[vital vault]

why

[boreal pawn]

Hello,
I’d like to ask for your advice on something. The topic is about splitting my PlayerManager.cs into modular scripts. For example, when I separate the movement logic into a new script, I create PlayerMovement.cs. However, when I do this, the fields that need to be assigned in the Unity Inspector for PlayerMovement.cs no longer appear in PlayerManager.cs. Instead, I have to manually add PlayerMovement.cs to the player prefab.

What I actually want is to keep using PlayerManager.cs, but still be able to see and assign the Inspector fields of PlayerMovement.cs there.
Is this possible?
I’d really like to learn how to write my player code in a more modular and maintainable way, since my current code has grown beyond 2000 lines, which makes editing very difficult.

[vital vault]

i tought to do that in one of my projects... Well, screw it

[rocky canyon]

if the things ur assigning isn't part of the Prefab u have to do that at runtime

u can't assign things in a prefab to a script in the scene (unless the prefabs also in the scene)
and vice-versa.. you can't assign things in the scene to a prefab (unless the prefab is also in the scene or the things ur assigning are also in the prefab)

[vital vault]

thats what i talked about

mirror networking moment

[rich adder]

you're making a controller for Networking but you want to use Rigidbody? 🤨

[vital vault]

yea

cuz i need slopes and stuff

i want to mimic one game

am i allowed to post gh links here?

its not my repo

[rich adder]

you do know that when you run rigidbody the clients will just see animations/tween and not physically accurate

by default in most server-client all rigidbody get turned into kinematic

[vital vault]

i only need for it to be correct on local player's side

https://github.com/vectozavr/shooter

thats what i tried to mimic

[smoky ruin]

I'm trying to fix a problem to finish moving my character, about the character controller bouncing when going down slopes

[vital vault]

at what moment of the slide

[rich adder]

did you actually learn anything multiplayer before taking this on ? not exactly beginner friendly especially for fast shooters you need to learn about client side prediction

[rocky canyon]

u need to apply gravity to help it be grounded... and then zero it out when u do something like jump

[rough granite]

odd way of doing that

[rich adder]

still on this ?

[vital vault]

it has really funky movement, and i quote: "i just checked if player had collisions to check if he could jump. But i realised that this realization allowed players to climb walls and stick to ceilings, and i kept it as a mechanic"

[rough granite]

why not just make the velocity be affected by the angle of the face below it

[rocky canyon]

its actually very common https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7bmNDdYPzU&t=1s (good explaination of whats happening)

when grounded make gravity something static lke = -12

when ur airbourne u add it up.. += -12

[rich adder]

Project On Plane / move with angle of slope probably much more robust

[smoky ruin]

yes, I'm fed up

[rocky canyon]

ya, thats true.. i learned project on plane afterwards

how to find child gameobject by tag

[smoky ruin]

main:https://hastebin.skyra.pw/pelevasamo.csharp, walkstate:https://hastebin.skyra.pw/mewenohiwi.csharp

[rich adder]

whats the usecase

sounds like a codesmell

[vital vault]

start

i only need to find local player's head

[rich adder]

if its a child why not just link the object directly in the inspector

[vital vault]

wont it collapse when there is more than 1 player?

[rocky canyon]

each player has their own instance

it'd be their child.. so it'd work out for everyone

[rich adder]

no because if its local they all have their own reference

[vital vault]

then its good

[rich adder]

as I said, if you dont know these baiscs should you really be doing networking now ? lol

[rocky canyon]

if u spawned (2) of em..
the first one would have their reference linked to it (in the children)
the second one would have their reference linked to it (in their children)

[rich adder]

for most setups, the clients know nothing about each other

[rocky canyon]

but just for giggles.. this is how u could find a child gameobject by Tag

foreach (Transform child in transform)
{
    if (child.CompareTag("MyTag"))
    {
        Debug.Log("Found: " + child.name);
    }
}```

[rich adder]

they are all running their own version of the game

[rich adder]

did you do the IsOnSlope from the vid I sent earlier ?

[smoky ruin]

yeah

[rich adder]

so whats happening ? how did you check the function was doing what was supposed to be doing ?

[smoky ruin]

I have been testing several methods, as I want to make a movement base and the only problem I am facing is about slopes

[rich adder]

yes you've been saying the problem has been slopes lol

we get it

[smoky ruin]

lol

[rich adder]

what you need to do is debug why the solution wasnt doing it, cause i personally used that same thing and it should be working , even the Project Vector stuff

if its not doing it you need to do the next step and debug WHY

[smoky ruin]

I had done a test, and basically, when I don't reset the player's vertical speed, he goes up and down normally, but when I reset it, he has this problem

[rich adder]

vertical velocity reset wdym ?

I don't see AdjustToSlope anywhere in your code

[smoky ruin]

yes, I removed it

[smoky ruin]

speed accumulation

[rich adder]

instead of debugging you removed it..okay lol

[smoky ruin]

I had already tested it before

[rich adder]

I'm questioning what "tested before " even means for you cause you're all over the place bud

first you said you added it from the video I sent, then just jumped into not answering about what wasnt working about it into " testing several methods, as I want to make a movement base and the only problem I am facing is about slopes"

[smoky ruin]

yes buddy, I stopped responding because I was trying to fix this problem

[rich adder]

why post here if you're not going to debug it or explain what was wrong with it

all the several methods that exists to solve this and somehow isnt working for you the issue isn't the source but the user

[smoky ruin]

lol

bro it just bounces

[rich adder]

then it sounds like you didn't apply the fix correctly

circling back to you not debugging it

[rough granite]

the last code they shared on the matter for your help https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/497874004401586176/1408493380215767232

[smoky ruin]

this kind of helped, but not directly, it became inconsistent and a series of problems occurred

[rich adder]

pretty bad solution and also not a good idea to call Move in multiple places at different times

[smoky ruin]

if you want to see for yourself

[rich adder]

I'd see if you showed you copied the AdjustVelocity to slope method and apply that to your movement, then show its actually calling it so we can debug from there

[rough granite]

Of course what you were trying to do was add a force down based off the distance away which wouldn't stop it from bouncing as it'd need to be bouncing to stop

[smoky ruin]

ok

[rich adder]

the problem happens because the character is trying to go on a straight line while the gravity occasionally pushes it down, causing the intermitted / bouncing

hence why the solution is to go along the direction of the slope

[smoky ruin]

wait

boy it worked but it gets slow

[rich adder]

whatever it is you're doing with velocity you're somehow limiting to about half of it

if it is working then its easier to take it from there and debug the speed issue rather than giving up and endlessly look for other solutions

DesiredMove speed or whatever you got goin on there

[smoky ruin]

yeah

wait

I noticed that the steeper the slope, the slower it gets, and the less steep, the faster

the desired move speed is just the horizontal speed

[rough granite]

not sure i would consider this working since you can still see times where it jumps

[rocky canyon]

this is why i prefer the (double gravity) method..
first video showing the movement projected along the slope (i always have trouble with the tops, edges, etc)
second video showing the movement as normal (with gravity being static walkin along the slope and then accumulating when in the air)

[smoky ruin]

no, it was me jumping to test it

[rocky canyon]

most likely is a skill issue, ngl and the way its detecting the slope..
but i like the other method ngl

[rough granite]

not the times i saw unless your jump is 1/6th of an inch

[rough granite]

honestly the left kinda bothers me i feel like you should slide down that but you dont

[smoky ruin]

oh

[rocky canyon]

yea i tried to do it real quick for the video.. but couldn't figure it out quick enough 😄

[rich adder]

btw mainly talking about going down the slope fast moving forward , not so much climbing up

[rocky canyon]

that was the intended outcome.. but not the way i usually build them.. so (skill issues involved)

[rough granite]

fair i haven't made a full 3d project yet and my 2d one is a top down so i have yet to deal with slopes

[rocky canyon]

🍀 lucky you 🙂

[rough granite]

so not really the surest how they should feel

[smoky ruin]

I just noticed this

[rough granite]

nah i just love space

[rocky canyon]

this is my route to slopes

nice and simple but yea i wish i could project better

i might try working out the project little later

been meaning to get one working but not as of yet

[vital vault]

How can i make smth like convars in source? or basically a singleton that i can access from everywhere that contains some info, like references, settings, etc?

[rocky canyon]

just make a singleton.. put it in the scene add all ur references and tada finished

[grand snow]

"just make it!"

[vital vault]

i want an elegant way to reference it

[rocky canyon]

lol.. true story.. they apparently already know what a singleton is (or sorta)

[grand snow]

to replicate convars it would need a few things but its doable

[rocky canyon]

singletons are easy and elegant to reference already...

MySingleton.instance.watever;

[grand snow]

I think here it doesnt need to be a singleton because i dont see why it needs to be a monobehaviour

[rocky canyon]

wait i think im missing something.. whats convars?

[rich adder]

its a source thing

like console commands

[grand snow]

in source engine a convar has a string name and holds some value. the value can be changed via the in game console or by map logic

[rocky canyon]

ahh gotcha

[grand snow]

concmd is a function you can call via the console and give arguments to

[rocky canyon]

yup, i was missing that little detail.. carry on. ill see myself out

[grand snow]

All i think you need to make convars is some object that has a name, description, holds a value and has an event to report when its value is changed

and some single place to keep em all

[rich adder]

[grand snow]

[vital vault]

from the hell

(or just javascript)

[grand snow]

hey dont hate on Dictionaries

I'm trying to make a game on mobile and I'm pretty sure my game is not really heavy because I get around 800+ fps on my pc but I can't even hardly get 30fps on my mobile (I didn't see the literal number I'm guessing purely on visual and the discomfort it gives me)

And I get around 60-120 fps on genshin, honkai or any other heavy game

[rough granite]

you using any kind of AA?

[slim spade]

I don't exactly know what AA means

[rough granite]

anti aliasing

like TAA, SMAA

FSR

[slim spade]

Is it set on by default

Because I didn't set it on

[rocky canyon]

true.. it comes enabled

[rough granite]

depends on quality level in settings, and camera

[slim spade]

It's disabled

Is this a problem?

[rough granite]

shouldn't be

it just restricts fps to that of your device

refresh rate

[slim spade]

My screen can support up to 120 fps so does it restrict it to 120 or 100 or 60?

[rich adder]

mobile doesnt care cause they're all capped at 30

[slim spade]

Oh okay thanks

[slim spade]

Could I increase that limit?

[rough granite]

turn it off i would assume

[slim spade]

Also

I turned off the optimized Frame Pacing

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-targetFrameRate.html

read the Mobile parts for IOS/Android

[slim spade]

Should I open it?

[slim spade]

Thanks

[vital vault]

fsr isnt aa, dlss was marketed like aa, but the thing is that fsr or dlss is really bad for getting rid of aliasing, but really good for fps boost

[rough granite]

having fsr at 100% is basically the same as aa

[vital vault]

no

its like reducing resolution

[rough granite]

not when it's at native resolution

[vital vault]

but there is no point to use it

fxaa will be really fast, and +- like fsr

[rough granite]

eh i guess alright

[vital vault]

how can i check if rigidbody has any collision

also i need its normal

[rough granite]

add a component with OnCollsionEnter

[vital vault]

can i get collision from it

[rich adder]

these are questions you should be simply googling..

[vital vault]

and i need to check every frame

i need collision normal

[rough granite]

point a raycast from the center of that object and make it face the collided object and do hit.normal

[rough granite]

thats what it's there for

[vital vault]

every frame?

[rough granite]

no only on the frames that collsion is detected

[vital vault]

i heard that raycast almost every frame is a big nono

[vital vault]

also

[rough granite]

if you have like 1k maybe

[rich adder]

thats what RaycastCommand is for
