oh true. I meant like in general

languid pagoda
#

So I am simulating an engine and gearbox in unity. Clutch is sitting right between the engine and gearbox and it determines if the torque from the engine can pass into the gearbox.

The clutch has a value "clutchStiffness" the stiffer the clutch the more quickly it will disengage.

My gearbox script has a variable that im currently assigning int he inspector "shiftDuration" and valid values are between 100 and 500 milliseconds.

Anyone know a decent math equation I could use to make it so the shift duration is assigned based on the stiffness of the clutch? stiffer clutch = shorter shiftDuration?

there are several

#

you gotta decide what kind of curve you want though

#

I'm trying to drag the soup pot object, but it's moving along a weird axis (my camera is in orthographic view btw)

naive pawn
#

but yeah overall - pick some fixed points, specifically the max and min, and perhaps decide what "half" stiffness should translate to

#

or maybe make it linear, that's also an option

#

figure out what curve you want from there

#

then find an equation to fit the curve

animationcurve doesn't change the amount of variables, it just changes where/how you define the curve

if i have multiple of the same component on one gameobject, can i create an array of them in the order they are listed in the inspector and if yes how would i do that? thanks in advance

Refactored your code to remove unnecessary component calls and to cache the display panel cards rather than accessing children.

  • cardButtonPrefab is now a CardUI rather than a GameObject
  • Removed the panel and instead provided an array of 4 for the explicit child slots
  • Manage a list of buttons (CardUI) instead of traversing from parent to children.
  • Decoupled button creation logic to be reused when refreshing display

the way i have my characters camera and direction set up, im pretty sure i can just make all of the movement options move him "forward", that way the direction controller bound to wasd controls which direction he goes, whereas asd is just making him move in that direction that points. is this a good idea? im shifting this from character controller to rigidbody + capsule collider

i got a question how can i add a lock or unlock on the player input?
something like if you enter the area the player will be locked in place and cant move or look around
i cant find some similar ideas in the internet

~~i just do a simple early return:

if(standBy)
{
  return;

  //else
  HandleInput(); //or
  HandleMovement();
}
```~~

#

same thing for the Camera Controller ^ that way i can have both ignore my inputs/movement
moveScript.standby = true;
camScript.standby = true;

void Update()
{
    if (standBy)
    {
        return;
    }

    HandleInput();
    HandleMovement();

why is there a value displaying as -3.7604e-05 in the inspector? its supposed to be a float whys the random e- in there?

peak shard
#

Short hand for x10^ pretty sure. Means Exponent. So a big (or small) negative number it seems.

#

i need to copy the float into some code now and I am not sure what the value is

well really im trying to assign the default value. public float pex4 = -3.7604E-05f;

will that just work? it compiles

Yeah calc just outputs it as -0.000037604 (if I entered it right, the e-05 is weird)

So basically 0

So how would I go about getting a standard object (not a game object) to destroy itself? I saw something about an IDisposable interface, but I'm not completely sure it's what I want for this usecase.

    {
        //The idea is that this is an object that exists in a JRPG enemy's AI to help decide what action it should take and what target it should apply to.
        //For instance, when a player party member attacks this enemy, one of these MemoryObjects is created with a threat value (the damage value of the attack) that attack accrued.
        //Each memory (stored in a list obviously) is only supposed to last a limited number of time, though, and once that time is elapsed then the MemoryObject is meant to stop existing.
        //I would really prefer the object internally decide when it should stop existing rather than an external source doing it, though.

        public float threatValue { get; private set; }
        float memory;

        public MemoryObject(float threatValue, float memory, TimeEvent timer)
        {
            this.threatValue = threatValue;
            this.memory = memory;
            timer += Decay;
        }

        void Decay(float decay)
        {
            memory -= decay;
            if (memory <= 0) 
            { 
                Debug.Log("A memory was forgotten");
                //This is where I would call what ever function I need to call to delete this object entirely. I just don't know how to do that 
            }
        }
    }```

ok you're not understanding what im saying

#

the only way to destroy this is by setting all variables that reference this instance to null

eager stratus

not without unsafe code and manual memory management and changing it from a class to a struct no

frigid iron

#

you dont need to destroy it yourself. when something stops referencing it, it will be destroyed

languid pagoda
# eager stratus So I can't get the object to destroy itself then 
public unsafe struct Foo
{
    public void* ptr;
    public Foo Create()
    {
        ptr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(Marshal.SizeOf<Foo>()).ToPointer();
        var foo = new Foo();

        UnsafeUtility.CopyStructureToPtr(ref foo, ptr);
    }

    private void Destroy()
    {
        Marshal.FreeHGlobal((IntPtr)ptr);
    }
}

this MIGHT work im not an expert with unsafe code.

The idea is that I really don't want to have to communicate with an outside system (that being the list that holds the memories) if I don't have to. The idea is that these objects exist in a dictionary and, rather than the object telling the dictionary to delete it, the dictionary doesn't bother itself with if a certain object is supposed to be there or not because it's only ever looking at objects that are

you could have (two) different versions of ur targetVelocity

    // step 3.. send it to ur move function

the codes basically the same... (its arranged a bit differently but its all practically the same)
you get input -> you mix that with ur variables -> u send that to the function

try to figure out why they differ
try to see the outcome of the code.. regardless of the steps it takes

so in this example u can pretend ur targetVelocity is 10...
in the if statement -> if ur grounded its 10 * 1 = 10 (normal)
if ur not grounded its 10 * .4 = 4 (slower)

edit: like directly from my script
https://paste.ofcode.org/WS6VupuAwjTMQwRZM3vEkp
if you look you can tell im just doing two calculations
1 for when im grounded and 1 for when im airbourne

its using the exact same Inputs but my speed multiplier and dampening modifiers are different
so depending on what im doing my Vectors are going to be FULL strength or they're gonna be HALF strength for example

i thought u were controlliing it with ur Input

i assumed the issue was obvious

soo the walls cause it to get launched?

past sentinel
#

yes. all slopes really

rocky canyon
#

thats a new one for me.. (i've seen people get stuck on walls)

past sentinel

just the walls are themost angled and this the easiest to see

past sentinel
#

but if i just force all speed to be normalized suddenly jumping is really bad

rocky canyon
past sentinel
past sentinel
#

and i dont wanan add a physics material to it becuase then id need to do it to cubes too and it still wont solve the root of the issue

rocky canyon
#

ohhh.. ur setting ur velocity (directly).. not adding it..
when u run into an angled wall or slope its probably ur horizontal velocity being projected into the surface normal (just as u said)

#

i think its killing the "natural" physics of unity's physics system.. b/c ur overwritting

eternal needle
rocky canyon
#

if u use AddForce instead of overwritting the velocity it may work

like instead of setting the force / velocity directly you can take the velocity you desire.. and then subtract it from the force u have.. and that should be able to used in AddForce as a velocity change

Vector3 velocityChange = targetVelocity - new Vector3(rb.linearVelocity.x, 0, rb.linearVelocity.z);
rb.AddForce(velocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);```

and something along the lines of "project along the ground"

ya, that code gives me anxiety.. thats how i know its not beginner 👀 lol

#

the only things i can understand are the //s 🤪

#

ofc.. understandable

#

i found that finding free character controllers like the one i wanted to build really helped me out

#

i would open them in a seperate projects and then take my time dissecting them.. (reverse engineering)

#

line by line.. figuring out how they do what i want to do..

#

then it was about adapting it.. asking questions about things i didn't understand.. following up by reading docs and stuff about methods i hadn't seen or used before.. and just attempting to piece it together

rocky canyon
# past sentinel but also the reason im not using the gravity thing normally on RB's is becuase i...

altho i will say.. u can still use ur rb.linearVelocity.y * scaleModifier but with a scale multiplier..
so its using regular gravity right... if ur scale modifier is 1 its just the same as it normally would be

if u had something scaled at 2 it'd be rb.linearVelocity.y * .5 or 2 depending on which way ur scaling..
and it still should work.. ur physics is gonna take care of the regular gravity.. and u just grab that value during the frame.. and add ur multiplier..

        Vector3 vel = rb.velocity;
        vel.y = vel.y * scaleModifier;
        rb.velocity = vel;```
#

with that said tho
scaling doesn't affect gravity 🤪
a basketball and a bowlingball are gonna fall the exact same speed 😛

past sentinel
rocky canyon
#

very true.. im just messing with ya 😛

#

but that is a trick
when objects are HUGE they appear to be moving much slower

past sentinel
#

i want physics to feel the same no matter the scale

rocky canyon
#

soo like a Titan walking thru a city would use an animator thats slowed down..

#

so its solid in concept 👍

past sentinel
#

but i dont want that i want them to feel the same becuase consitansy is good to avoid confusion

#

(also i was curious if even AI could help. it could not)

rocky canyon
#

well im kinda unsure of what the scaling is for then?
b/c they'd be consistent no matter what the scale

rocky canyon
past sentinel
#

this is what was happining to the player too and you could quickly see why having what feels like 0 jump when small would be bad

grand snow
#

I haven't been following but pesky air resistance makes things accelerate differently in the real world (see the feather + bowling ball experiment)

past sentinel
#

i was jsut yapping about why i scale gravity in my game

#

and its to make it feel more correct

#

even if it would be techniclly wrong

grand snow
#

well there should be better means to reflect the real world better (if thats your aim)

past sentinel
#

i mean its a game. its about what feels good and to me it feels better to have a cube fall at the same speed regardless of scale

wintry quarry
past sentinel
#

and i can then use this for puzzles. small cubes fall slower so you can have more airtime to go into a door or whatever

wintry quarry
#

I call it the "godzilla effect"

rocky canyon
#

aye i like that ^

past sentinel

interesting

like this?

its ```

not '''

I see

#

I am using the input system and I am struggling to make the OnMove function work while being held. It only works once when I tap the key but movement keys should work while being held and I can't figure out how to get it to work that way.

#

can anyone help me figure this out please?

wintry quarry
#

if you want to do something every frame, use Update

#

you can store the latest input data in a variable here, then use it in Update

eager stratus
#

Well, FixedUpdate if you're using physics

wintry quarry
#

Sure, it won't matter either way in this particular case

eager stratus
# eager crow can anyone help me figure this out please?

I believe I had something similar that looked like this

{
    //Main serialize fields
    [SerializeField] InputActionAsset actionMap;
    [SerializeField] float moveSpeed;

    //Component cache
    Rigidbody rb;

    //Misc variables
    Vector2 moveVector;

    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        //Make sure there's a third person camera and that its subject is this
        if (ThirdPersonCamera.instance == null) { Destroy(this); }

        //Cache components
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

        //Activate and link action map
        if (!actionMap.FindActionMap("Player").enabled) { actionMap.FindActionMap("Player").Enable(); }

        //Set up movement controls
        InputAction movePlayer = actionMap.FindActionMap("Player").FindAction("Move");
        movePlayer.performed += (InputAction.CallbackContext cc) => { moveVector = movePlayer.ReadValue<Vector2>(); };
        movePlayer.canceled += (InputAction.CallbackContext cc) => { moveVector = Vector2.zero; };
    }

    // FixedUpdate is called once per physics iteration
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (moveVector != Vector2.zero)
        {
            float trueMoveAngle = ThirdPersonCamera.instance.transform.eulerAngles.y + Vector2.SignedAngle(Vector2.up, new Vector2(-moveVector.x, moveVector.y));
            Vector3 trueMoveVector = new Vector3(Mathf.Sin(Mathf.Deg2Rad * trueMoveAngle), 0, Mathf.Cos(Mathf.Deg2Rad * trueMoveAngle)) * moveSpeed * moveVector.magnitude;
            rb.linearVelocity = trueMoveVector + Vector3.up * rb.linearVelocity.y;
            transform.eulerAngles = Vector3.up * trueMoveAngle;
        }
    }
}```
#

I'm not sure how to use the actual Input Action component. Honestly it's a miracle I even figured out what lambda functions do

eager crow
#

so would I change the line to vector2 = inputValue.Get<Vector2>()

#

new to C# coding

#

then put that vector2 variable in the update?

eager stratus
wintry quarry
eager crow
#

what value does the inputValue.Get<Vector2>() return?

eager stratus
#

The way mine is set up, it only has to read an overhead Vector2 that has its value changed through lambda functions called in start

eager crow
#

1 and -1?

wintry quarry
eager stratus
wintry quarry
#

yes -1 to 1 generally

#

it depends

#

if it's mouse input it could be different

eager stratus
#

W = 1 y
A = -1 x
S = -1 y
D = 1 x

wintry quarry
#

also it's a 2sd vector so it's (x, y)

eager stratus
#

One thing that I found nice about the new input system is that it's not possible for it to have a magnitude beyond 1 like the old system

eager crow
#

ok it kind of works

#

but now it seems the gravity of the object is off cause it falls down super slowly

#

and it seemed to have disabled my jump feature

#

but it does move left and right while the button is held

eager stratus
eager crow
#

is there a way where I can only collect the x value of it then?

#

using the function

eager stratus
rocky canyon
#

rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(horizontal, rb.linearVelocity.y, vertical);

#

^ u can feed the .y right back into it

#

therfor ignoring it (letting unity physics do its thing)

eager stratus
past sentinel
#

@rocky canyon with my system do you know the ebst way to have my player stick to the ground when they are grounded?

eager crow
# 
private Vector2 playerInput;

private void OnMove(InputValue inputValue)
{
    playerInput = inputValue.Get<Vector2>();
}

private void Update()
{
    rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(playerInput, rb.linearVelocity.y);
}```
#

this is what I have

rocky canyon
eager stratus
rocky canyon
#

not sure that works with urs or not

wintry quarry
eager crow
#

so I would change the OnMove function then?

private void OnMove(InputValue inputValue)
{
    playerInput = inputValue.Get<Vector2>();
}```
#

oh I got it work

#

thank you both for the help 🙂

eager stratus
eager crow
#

I used PraetorBlue's method and it worked

#

I put rb.linearVelocityX = playerInput.x * speed;
and it worked

tacit prism
#

i want all of my wasd to only move forward, in 3d, how should i go about that

reason being i have the way my direction is working already set up

wintry quarry
tacit prism
wintry quarry
#

but like

#

you want all of the buttons to do the same thing?

tacit prism
#

i dont have to worry about it, pressing D makes my character face right, and S makes my character face backwards

#

so if they move the direction they are facing then it should control it just the same

#

im moving from a character controller to a rigidbody + capsule

eager stratus
#

This appears to just return a vector in what ever direction the transform is facing

tacit prism
wintry quarry
#

Do you want D to make you walk forward or not?

#

You want S to make you walk forward?

#

Or do you only want W to make you walk forward

#

because when you say "I want all my WASD to walk forward" it soudns like you want all of those buttons to make you walk forward

eager stratus
wintry quarry
#

I'm pretty sure what they actually want is to move in the direction of the WASD vector but in relation to the direction the camera is facing

#

anyway it's going to be impossible really to answer this without seeing your existing code, as mentioned above

tacit prism
eager stratus
wintry quarry
eager stratus
#

Either that or it genuinely doesn't matter because the camera's rotation isn't suppose to change

tacit prism
wintry quarry
# tacit prism https://paste.mod.gg/wvyvczonbwnd/0

So you've already got it here:

            Vector3 moveDir = Quaternion.Euler(0f, targetAngle, 0f) * Vector3.forward;
            playController.Move(moveDir.normalized * plyMvspd * Time.deltaTime);```
But you have a problem - you seem to have both a CharacterController and a Rigidbody on this object
#

You need to pick one or the other

tacit prism
#

im replacing the character control with rb

#

thats the whole point of this, so i can use isGrounded

wintry quarry
#

then you just do rb.linearVelocity = moveDir.normalized * plyMvspd;

#

and get rid of the CharacterController and all the code related to it

#

You'll also want to be doing rb.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f); instead of transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, angle, 0f);

#

as a rule of thumb if you have a Rigidbody you should never directly modify the Transform

tacit prism
#

in the end im just trying to make a movement system similar to Sky: CotL

wintry quarry
#

no idea what that is

tacit prism
#

pretty popular "cozy" game

wintry quarry
#

i mean a video of the movement would be better

#

but have you tried the code?

tacit prism
#

Sky:CotL is c++ with a custom engine, i only barely know c# and unity so...

#

i can show a video though, have it currently installed because theres some ideas from it i want to test, like volumetric clouds

wintry quarry
#

adjusting your code as I mentioned above will get you part of the way there (it won't adjust for the camera rotation).

#

but as you said that can be added later

tacit prism
#

someone told me to use lerp on reddit for the non-instant movement when turning around and such

wintry quarry
#

worry about getting it working first

tacit prism
#

true

wintry quarry
#

But you're already using SmoothDampAngle

#

which will make it "non instant"

#

at least the rotation of the character visually

tacit prism
#

im having an issue with my character sliding across the surface, so they move extra when turning around

#

yeah the angle isnt instant, but the velocity is

wintry quarry
#

did you add the else block like in my example code?

tacit prism
#

shit didnt notice it

eager stratus
tacit prism
#

im just learning this so slow, i work 40+ hours a week and i have familial obligations

#

im trying to learn, but most of what i learn from is videos that poorly explain how the syntax works with the functions and objects

wintry quarry
#

You're not really going to learn it if you're just copying code, you'll want to try to understand what it's doing

#

when you understand it you'll be able to tweak it to your liking

#

You may also want to spend some time learning C# itself if the language is giving you trouble

#

outside the context of games

tacit prism
#

i did the microsoft c# course for about a week

wintry quarry
#

that's a good start

#

it's definitely going to take a bit before you're "fluent" though

tacit prism
#

but after a certain point it just felt kinda...console specfic? i guess. Like arrays and booleans and such are all useful, but learning how to make a folder through a terminal seems kinda useless for me..

wintry quarry
#

true enough

tacit prism
#

im sure it has its application somewhere, like puzzle games that suddenly make folders appear on ur desktop but ya know

#

that aint me

wintry quarry
#

regardless the syntax for calling functions and passing parameters and capturing return values and writing functions are all relevant

#

no matter what it is that the functions ultimately do

eager stratus
#

What I did was try to recreate Triple Triad while looking up every little thing on Google such as "how make object move in code?"

tacit prism
#

i mean when i see someone do vector3.something = new vector(smth, smth, smth ,smth, smth)

doesnt exactly look like the console.WriteLine they taught you for 4 modules straight KEKW

#

i know its just gonna take time, but im impatient asf :(

wintry quarry
#

I presume they teach constructors at some point 🤔

# tacit prism the camera does effect the movement im noticing, but ill figure that out when i ...

ya, i tried to mention that yesterday
if ur going after the normal third-person movement style you totally need to incorporate ur camera into the code..
you can't really get the movement working without it..

unless ur talking about tank movement that would be if ur walking forward and press left at the same time it'll rotate to the left and keep moving forward (now to the left)..
-> once ur camera is involved it'd be totally different.. b/c if u were to pan ur camera around the backside of ur player now ur directions are all flipped

  1. TankStyle :
  • Input is always relative to the player’s facing.
  • Forward/backward moves along the player’s forward, left/right rotates the player.
  • Diagonal movement results in combined rotation + forward movement.
    https://hastebin.skyra.pw/tonurikuwu.csharp <- link to example code for the tank style movement (no camera involved) the rotation is similar to what u have now.. but W/S or "Vertical Axis" would then move the direction its facing..
  1. Camera-relative third-person movement (modern 3rd-person/over-the-shoulder):
  • Input is relative to the camera’s orientation.
  • Forward always moves in the direction the camera is facing, left/right moves relative to camera right/left.
  • Player rotation is independent and smoothly turns toward the movement direction.
  • If you pan the camera, pressing forward could now move the player “left” relative to their original facing — the movement follows the camera, not the player’s initial facing.

c# unity iap, how to check if player already bought a non-consumable item?

rocky canyon
# rocky canyon ya, i tried to mention that yesterday if ur going after the normal third-person ...

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/vipeyefibu.csharp <- link to example code for the camera-relative style movement
the camera is not attached to the player (because if it was parented to the controller and you rotated to the controller.. the camera would also rotate.. and since we're using the cameras rotation it'd rotate more and more.. and u get in a loop.. instead we just make the camera track the player
something like:

Vector3 desiredPosition = target.position + transform.rotation * offset;
transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPosition, followSmooth * Time.deltaTime);```
in the movement script - we use the `camForward` and the `camRight` to multiply our inputs with so when we pan the camera the general directions of the player change as well...

ive got an issue where i want the ray cast to be in front of the player. the challenge is that the player rotates to face the direction of movement. how do i set an offset so that it is always in front of the player.

the player is a capsule set to scale x:1, y:0.5, z:1

I have no idea where to ask this so I'm just gonna post it here but I'm currently taking the unity 6 official course and so far all the particle systems they have provided have caused these to appear, is it something to do with the particle system itself or just the particles from the project?

a Stack<ushort> contains ushorts
Take's argument is about how many values are taken

so you just get 32 ushorts out

32 isn't even near the limit of a ushort, not sure why you're asking about that

it isn't

it's from linq

naive pawn

with linq you'd skip then take, but that's kinda not how a stack is supposed to work

#

perhaps consider if it really needs to be a stack

languid pagoda
#

if it didn't I would use a list.

naive pawn

note that a FILO structure is easily implemented with an arraylist, so like List in c# would work

it has all the same operations and complexity (under different method names)

why does this not work?

double lastRefresh = 0;
List<string> refreshOptions = new List<string>();

for (int i = 0; i < resolutions.Length; i++)
{
    double a = lastRefresh;
    double b = resolutions[i].refreshRateRatio.value;

    if (a == b) continue;

    // refresh rate 
    string option = resolutions[i].refreshRateRatio.value + "Hz"; // might now need .value
    refreshOptions.Add(option);
    NewRefreshRates.Add(resolutions[i].refreshRateRatio);

    lastRefresh = resolutions[i].refreshRateRatio.value;
}
``` it's for a dropdown of resolutions.

            foreach (var plant in hitColliders)
            {
                if (Vector3.Distance(plant.gameObject.transform.position, transform.position) < nearest)
                {
                    nearest = Vector3.Distance(plant.gameObject.transform.position, transform.position);
                    rDestination = plant.gameObject.transform.position;
                    rDestination.y = transform.position.y;
                    nearestPlant = plant.gameObject;
                } else {continue;}
            }

            if (nearestPlant is not null)
            {
                resource = nearestPlant;
                foodFound = true;
            }
        }
        if (counter <= 0)
        {
            counter = timeTillJump;
            moveToResource();
        }
        
    }

so this is attached to a bunny rabit, when its hunger raises to a threshold it starts searching for food, when it finds it moves to it and consumes it, the problem i am having here is the resource variable is not getting set and hence the carrot isnt getting destroyed, so basically the rabbit is just farming the same carrot for infinite food.

yea don't think you can use that on unity objects can you ?

did you read why?

it doesn't make sense here

wouldn't you want to check for that in the foreach loop anyways

frank linden

check what?

naive pawn

check that it's a valid object

though.. i don't think it'd be in the colliders if it wasn't valid

frank linden

what layer is the carrot on

layer 8

naive pawn

well then yeah the layermask thing is wrong

rich adder

layerIndex and Layermask != same

int layerMask = 1 << myGamObject.layer;
or
LayerMask mask = LayerMask.GetMask("whatever");

frank linden

so I do ```csharp
LayerMask layer = LayerMask.GetMask("Plant");

you should have it serialized tho tbh so you don't have to work with the magic string

no it means there is in fact an array.
If you want to know the contents put logs in each iteration or use myArray.Length for just the Count (wont be much more help than just printing the hit cols)

patent wedge
# rich adder you said line 48 ?

yes line 48 i have it as two lists (not arrays) for simplicity. as resolutions has all resolution types including refresh rates, so i make it so that the first has all the resolutions with the same as my monitor, and the second it'll just add a new refresh rate when it sees one.

# rich adder I mean sure some stuff got axed but "worst commercial game engine" is a stretch

Dots has been out for years. Still no built in animation system. The engine is on its 5th version of multi-player libraries. They come out with all these new features that are half finished with incomplete tooling. It took until Unity 6 to get rid of random progress bars that would halt your work for 3 to 5 minutes. There are a ton of community implemented features that most engines have built in for example world streaming and imposter systems. I can't think of any other commercial engine that has these issues.

Don't get me wrong I do like Unity but there are so many issues that other engines don't seem to suffer from. There is a reason most studios favor unreal and imo it's because they know every feature in the engine is going to polished complete and have 100% of the needed tooling put of the box

Oh I'm good bro I already embedded it into unity. It has a ton of use in game modding. San Andreas multi-player mod features 1k player servers that ran well and all the game modes were made with pawn.

A lot of the reason why it never caught on is because it's advertised as a 32 bit language but it's as simple as changing one definition in a header file to make it work for 64 bit systems

rich adder
#

oh that just went up in my book.
sa-mp was the shit

#

no idea it was using Pawn

languid pagoda
#

Essentially pawn compiler would calculate all the needed memory for the scripts and then the runtime would then allocate it all up front in one linear block that made the cpu really happy

It's an awesome little language though. The ide even has a full debugger like visual studio with breakpoints etc

The biggest thing is to make sure you have properly separated the three incarnations of the weapon:

  • the version of it in the game world
  • the version of it in the inventory
  • the version of it it when you're actually holding it

It's best to keep these distinct from one another

Each frame you assign the move speed to walk speed, then on the key that you press a button you change movespeed to run speed. So this code causes your player to only sprint on the single frame the key is pressed then it goes back to walkspeed

Then if you want to use UGUI you can just make some components yourself to aid how you build your UI

So back to my original question is there a way to create our own event triggers or are we stuck with the default ones?

you can use then yourself if you want reflection based subscriptions

OnClick on Button is a UnityEvent thats invoked when its clicked

grand snow

Ah these are from event system and no you cannot make more
you are confused I think

These are called based on pointer interactions on a ui gameobject

You can respond to these via this component or yourself via interfaces but you cannot make more

grand snow

quick question, how are hitboxes made for players in games. Do you use the capsule collider (lets say a hitbox that determines whether a sword hitting you deals damage)

i want to know because im setting up jumping next.
Im not sure if i want to set up a floating capsule with a raycast that slightly raises its location, making it look like the player is on the ground when really its floating a little higher, or if there is an alternate item used for hitreg on players

i want to use the floating capsule, so that small surfaces sticking out of the terrain wont get the player stuck, and the player can just move over them

#

so is there a seperate tool for hitreg?

languid pagoda
# tacit prism quick question, how are hitboxes made for players in games. Do you use the capsu...

Depends on the game. Counter strike hitboxes are a ton of seperate box colliders. I would avoid capsule collider approach. If you use capsule colliders things like animations will not effect the hitbox. So if you use the capsule approach you're going to have to adjust the size and position of the capsule if your player crouches for example. But with the way counterstrike does it each collider is assigned to the bone it represents so it just stays in the the correct place automatically.

Capsule would be faster because it's just a position and a radius . . .

There are a lot of factors that goes into the equation of separating colliders. All of the primitive collider shapes are very fast though. I have always been told sphere is fastest and then capsule and box. Probably depends on way too many factors to give any proper comparison in general cases

cosmic dagger
#

True, as long as you choose the collider that best fits the object's shape, you're good . . .

You wouldn't be able to add to this because those options are pulled from the EventTriggerType enum. Your best option to create your own component with a custom drop-down of your custom events . . .

    • Graphics (animation)

right now I have a script called SwitchLink on the collider w/ reference to the MasterSwitch class on the root.. and I use a tryget for the raycast for the collider

is there a better more fundamental way of doing this?

#

i dont really like looping thru children or up to the parent.. (no clue why)

i got this round-about kinda way to access everything i need but just trying to minimize.. and now that i think about it this concept would apply to alot of my objects since they all have their own Collider object as a child..

#

so if i could realize some nifty way that im missing it'd be soo cool

# cosmic dagger You use `TryGet` because it's not assigned and you want to make sure it is befor... 
using UnityEngine;

// SpawnCampGames
public class LabRaycaster : MonoBehaviour
{
    public SwitchLink currentTarget; // link component on collider
    private Camera cam;

    void Start()
    {
        cam = Camera.main;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        Ray ray = cam.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        RaycastHit hit;

        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit))
        {
            // Check if the hit object has a SwitchLink
            SwitchLink link;
            if (hit.collider.TryGetComponent(out link))
            {
                currentTarget = link;
            }
            else
            {
                currentTarget = null;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            // Hit nothing
            currentTarget = null;
        }
    }
}
``` basically it'll be the only interactions i'll have in this demo... (just getting `SwitchLink`) via raycast
#

i just use trygets for the easy out lol

i thought about doing Interfaces.. but they're really not needed since i only have (1) interactable

but whether its an interface or just a class doesn't really matter to me right now.. just wondering if there was a "trick of the trade" i might be missing

☝️ There you go . . .

rocky canyon
#

i mean i could just put the collider on the root

#

but i thought i was being clever by having them their own object

#

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E)) currentTarget.switchMain.Toggle(); i guess this is clean enough

#

crying over spilt 🥛 i guess lol

Also, I believe you can do:

if (hit.collider.TryGetComponent<SwitchLink>(out var link))
{
    currentTarget = link;
}
else```
to remove `SwitchLink link;` . . .
rocky canyon
#

ohh true... theres soo many different variations of TryGet i get confused

cosmic dagger
#

If you place the collider on a specific layer and use that layer mask, you can remove the entire TryGet because you'd know it has the component (if the collider is not null) . . .

how can i remove triangles from a mesh at runtime?

rocky canyon
#

get mesh
get original data
rebuild it ignoring the ones u want to remove
apply new triangles list
Recalculate Mesh (normals/bounds/etc)

lethal meadow
#

would i not get indexing issues

rocky canyon
#

if you remove triangles that leave behind vertices.. you'll need to rebuild the vertices array as well

lethal meadow
# 
for (int i = 0; i < vertices.Length; i++)
{
    if (updatedVertices[i].position.x == 21741000)
    {
        continue;
    }
    else
    {
        vertices[i] = updatedVertices[i].position;
    }
}
mesh.vertices = vertices;
mesh.RecalculateNormals();
mesh.RecalculateBounds();
meshFilter.mesh = mesh;
#

like this?

rocky canyon
#

not sure.. i think if u remove triangles but keep the original vertices array untouched it shouldnt cause any issues

lethal meadow
#

21741000 is what i put the x at when i want it to be deleted

#

because that causes indexing problems

rocky canyon
#

Right now you’re “deleting” a vertex by shoving it way off at x = 21741000.. i thnk, im not 100 sure.. im just googling as i go..

but I think that doesn’t actually remove it — the vertex still exists in the array, and** if any triangle index points to it you'll error out**

lethal meadow
#

i do that in a compute

#

after i have to rebuild the array of positions and then set it to the mesh

#

if it has the high x value i just skip it

rocky canyon
lethal meadow
#

i mean if i could do it in the compute even better

#

i dont think i can though

rocky canyon
# 

Instead of skipping those “deleted” verts, just keep their slots in the array and put them at some safe place (like (0,0,0)).
That way, indices still match up.
Triangles that reference them will collapse into degenerate (zero-area) faces → they won’t render, no explosions.``` does this sound like something useful?
lethal meadow
#

no

#

ive tried that it just causes large stretched vertices

#

ive tried collapsing into neighbouring verts too and it causes the same issue

rocky canyon
#

the only thing im seeing is something about Orphan Verts
if you dont delete or move verts but instead delete the triangles that use them you should have a "clean" mesh

#

but to be honest im outside my wheel house on this one.. just figured i'd try to brainstorm w/ ya since im here

In the OnEnable method i am trying to add a method to an event in my other class. but its null, i think the awake function not been called yet. any ideas on how to solve this, or a better way of doing it?

its not guaranteed another objects Awake will run before this objects OnEnable

how do I add the drag event system to a unity class? Is it IPointerDrag? Where's the documentation for this stuff?

vertex[] updatedVertices = new vertex[vertexBuffer.count];
        vertexBuffer.GetData(updatedVertices);

        for (int i = 0; i < vertices.Length; i++)
        {
            
            vertices[i] = updatedVertices[i].position;
        }

        List<int> newTriangles = new List<int>();
        int[] currentTiangles = mesh.triangles;

        for (int i = 0; i < currentTiangles.Length; i += 3)
        {
            Vector3 v0 = vertices[currentTiangles[i]];
            Vector3 v1 = vertices[currentTiangles[i + 1]];
            Vector3 v2 = vertices[currentTiangles[i + 2]];
            Vector3 center = (v0 + v1 + v2) / 3;

            if (center.magnitude < 1000)
            {
                newTriangles.Add(currentTiangles[i]);
                newTriangles.Add(currentTiangles[i + 1]);
                newTriangles.Add(currentTiangles[i + 2]);
            }
        }

        mesh.triangles = newTriangles.ToArray();

        mesh.RecalculateNormals();

fixed it

#

just remove the triangles and keep the vertices

#

no stringy vertices going 2171000 meters away 😍

what about IBeginDragHandler and IEndDragHandler? Are those outdated?

rich adder
lethal meadow
#

you just need a ray triangle intersection function

rich adder
#

they can also work. Point is you probably get a better result start/end drag to set a bool
IDragHandler always gave me weird result but could work

rocky canyon
#

a lil AddExplosionForce at the origin?

#

this was my first time manipulating a mesh..

lethal meadow
#

i didnt think of that

rocky canyon
#

not too crazy (altho i testing w/ a cube) lol

lethal meadow
#

you could create a seperate triangle mesh and add physics and push it out

rocky canyon
#

ur own fractal destruction

#

i might see if i could make something that did that w/ any mesh

#

that'd be a cool little mechanic to add everywhere

lethal meadow
#

i'd probably do a compute shader

#

you raycast to get the mesh
