[rich adder]

did you read any of it ?

[raw shore]

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

Igot it

I got*

now the player

[rich adder]

why is it all commented out lol

[raw shore]

oh I saw //

and I thouth I need too

lol

[rich adder]

nah that was an example for snippets , very small blocks like 5-6 lines

[raw shore]

the player

[rich adder]

link the video as well as explaining what exactly is happening or not happening on your end

[raw shore]

I have a problem

I dont have obs to record

[silver fern]

unity has a recorder package

[raw shore]

how do I acces it ?

[rich adder]

thats cumbersome for just capturing

use something like Snip or whatever is called on windows

didnt they add a recorder now ?

[silver fern]

mine only does screenshots

[rich adder]

w11 i think they added

[silver fern]

ah I have w10

[rich adder]

if you have Nvidia you can also use nvidia capture

or windows + G you get the recorder

[rich adder]

screenshots will probably do for now while you figure it out.. more important you show the other stuff

[rich adder]

looks like you didn't make a proper reference

[raw shore]

what do you mean

[rich adder]

where is the PlayerAnimationEvents

did you remove a screenshot?

[raw shore]

yeah it was with 2 bugs but is old

the script is in animator

the event one

[rich adder]

alright then so whats supposed to happen again vs whats happening

[raw shore]

so you should be in idle and be anle to jump with 2 animation jump and fall but the player starts as a falling animation or jump based on where it was under map or up and you cant jump, also the animation is blocked

[rich adder]

okay so its stuck in a pose ?

[raw shore]

yes

and it will take a lot to rewatch the tutorial to see the problem

[rich adder]

are the transitions setup correctly

[raw shore]

yes animation tree is correct

the window is good

animator

[rich adder]

did you check it during runtime and seeing what animator is doing while its not working

you have to select gameobject with animator running to see the transitions working / params moving

[raw shore]

so from idle/move goes to jump

[rich adder]

yes I mean observing this during runtime while the gameobject is selected so you can see what happens from Air to Ground again

[raw shore]

nothing its stuck

[rich adder]

yes but where..

thats whats important to know where it goes wrong

[rich adder]

okay so the transition from Fall to Idle ain't workin?

what conditions are setup

[silver fern]

is the grounded check working right?

[raw shore]

it shouldnt even jumo

grounded should be ok

[rich adder]

should is not the same as verified

[rich adder]

have you seen the animator variable goes back to isGrounded?

[raw shore]

no

[rich adder]

so you cannot make assumptions its working, at least not fully

[rich adder]

what conditions in the transition from Fall/Jump to Idle

[raw shore]

the problem is that the tutorial gets new scripts from 4 hour but a lot was made before so its hard to rewatch

isGrounded true

no exit time

[silver fern]

then check if isGrounded is actually true

[rich adder]

ok so thats where you start your search for debugging

as mentioned, you look at the animator and see what happens when you fall from jump

[raw shore]

the Grounded is not checked

[rich adder]

then you never go into grounded

[rich adder]

there ya go, that tells you where the issue is

[silver fern]

wait a minute

isGrounded = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, groundCheckDistance, whatIsGround);

is that meant to be that way because raycast returns cast results

[rich adder]

it should.. afaik Raycast has implicit cast on the collider to bool

[raw shore]

yes Raycast is meant

[silver fern]

ok

make the raycast visible in the gizmos section

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/RaycastHit2D-operator_RaycastHit2D.html

[raw shore]

how do I do that

[silver fern]

oh right, you have to draw a debug ray
Debug.DrawRay(position, direction * distance, Color.green);

[rich adder]

looks like it already has somewhat of an attempt

but its DrawLine

I dont see it tho

[raw shore]

idk why it should been

[rich adder]

which object has this script on it

[silver fern]

Gizmos.DrawLine(transform.position, transform.position + new Vector3(0, -groundCheckDistance));

isnt the vector missing a coordinate

[rich adder]

-groundCheckDist should in theory be the Vector2.down * dist

[raw shore]

the Player

[silver fern]

groundCheckDistance is declared as a float

[rich adder]

yea inside Vector3

[rich adder]

show it selected in the scene view with gizmos

[raw shore]

so best thing is to rewatch a part of the video

😔

[rich adder]

usually something wrong you copied / missed something when following a video

[raw shore]

yeah

[rich adder]

those 1+ hours videos are the worst too

[raw shore]

happend a few times

its 6 hours

and I got to 4:28:00

[rich adder]

yiikes..its better watching those types of videos a couple of times before copying so you're kinda familiar with the process you will be doing

6hours is rough tho..too long man.. make the shit quick. get to the point lol

"Make Entire Minecraft in 7 hours"

[raw shore]

he has a server so maybe but a little maybe he will be able to help

he is a 8k followers youtuber

not indian lol

[rich adder]

sadly followers dont equate to quality

[raw shore]

I mean he made some cool stuff

he is Alexdev or smth like that

[rich adder]

showing a quick feature or alternative approach to a problem is one thing..making those entire long session of "make x game in 5 hrs" or whatever is poor quality

[raw shore]

yeah I show I will try more easier games

clicker

flappy bird

catch

[rich adder]

easier game + start with small building blocks to learn

you will be able to make your own thing in no time

do you know even 5 % of what your current code does? or what some functions do ?

[raw shore]

I learned a little C# from 12 hours video from CodeMonkey

I did C++ math

like Fibbonaci

bubble sort

so I know what things are quick

[rich adder]

okay so at least you know the familiar cs concepts

[raw shore]

yeah

[rich adder]

unity is an API . so once you are comfortable with reading any API type with C# knowledge you're set.

[raw shore]

thx

I will so small games

[rich adder]

the basics of unity concepts to know play into it too . What are gameobjects? components? lifecyle of them etc..

[raw shore]

and after that retry to make them

but with diff sprites

[rich adder]

yeah most people want to jump to their personal project / the next big thing right away but that usually leads to failure

[raw shore]

I like the b cart 3D videos but I am NOT ready for 3D lol

[raw shore]

ik

[rich adder]

3D is just as easy tbh

unity is already 3D engine, the only 2D components you been working with are physics

[raw shore]

I was in some projects in Roblox same big idea and they failed

[rich adder]

well keep at it, you will get to your big idea soon enough

[raw shore]

Unreal is good on 3D but I dont like how it looks

its like a kidder version then Godot

[rich adder]

really ? thats the whole gimmick is the quick AAA look

[raw shore]

yeah the UI is weird

of buttons

can you give me some ideas for 2D games to make ?

like other then clicker

or flappy bird

or catch thing

[silver fern]

2d factory game

[rich adder]

the usual ones like you mentioned. A lot of those old school games, you know atari era

things where you can make a quick gameloop

[rich adder]

thats not a simple game

[raw shore]

yeah maybe I should go to GMTK 2025 games

the theme was loop

soo what I need a simple game

[raw shore]

I am not making factorio lol

[silver fern]

fair

make uno

[rich adder]

angry bird, flappy bird, simple platformer, breakout, any inifinte runner

[raw shore]

what is breakout ?

[raw shore]

oh yeah

Physcs

[rich adder]

those can be fun you can put your own spin to it once the initial game loop is done. Bonuses etc

[raw shore]

and bouncy

yeah

Itch has good games in game jams other then that only horror

and they are the same

a night at a shop place

lol

[rich adder]

lol I have an old project i was cleaning up and its quickie mart store owner sim lol occasionally you get robbed or ported into another world

[raw shore]

cool

[rich adder]

but ya it has become a tired genre since so meh

[raw shore]

Itch should be the place for cool indie games but you can see only 20 that are popular

you need to dig for cool games

[silver fern]

shame desura shut down

[raw shore]

nav

you have youtube ?

[rich adder]

ya but we kinda steering offtopic of #💻┃code-beginner though..
whatever is on there is pretty old..

[raw shore]

oh yeah

[silver fern]

how do I debug collider collisions?

[polar acorn]

What information are you trying to find out

[slow blaze]

So this collider is set OnTrigger and while calling
OnTriggerEnter2D(){
}
I get no response back

(The checkmark is the player, does have a collider too)

[silver fern]

it's related to the question I asked here #⚛️┃physics message
I can't explain the results I'm seeing at all and I'm not sure where to start figuring it out

[rich adder]

depends how you're moving them too

and which one has rigidbody2d

[slow blaze]

I use rigidbody's linear velocity to move the enemy and player

[slow blaze]

they both have rigidbody
not rigidbody2d
since rigidbody2d refuses to have a collider with it
now that you mention rigidbody2d I might have screwed up lmao

[polar acorn]

The three commandments of OnTriggerEnter2D:

1. Thou shalt have a 2D collider on both objects.
2. Thou shalt tick isTrigger on at least one of them.
3. Thou shalt be moving at least one of them via Rigidbody2D

[slow blaze]

ah the 3rd commandment

[rich adder]

were the colliders also 3D ? I dont see how else it would let you put a rigidbody on 2d cols

[polar acorn]

3D rigidbodies call 3D collision events on 3D colliders

[slow blaze]

no the colliders were 2d

I'll try again holon

[rich adder]

im sure it wouldnt let you

[slow blaze]

I might have lapsed my judgement

I indeed tried to put 3d colliders thinking they were 2d lmao

[stuck current]

Is there anyway to play in the insect or with a Mac

For vr

[rich adder]

yeah you prob want 2D then lol 3D colliders / rigidbody not work with OnTrigger2D

[slow blaze]

OnTrigger without 2D trollemoji

[rich adder]

wat?

[polar acorn]

Try this package to make your overlap calls visible and see if they match up with what you expect:
https://github.com/vertxxyz/Vertx.Debugging

[rich adder]

whats "in the insect"

[stuck current]

Meta dosent have a Mac version for their desktop app so you can’t link your headset I’m asking if there’s any alternative ways

[rich adder]

whats that got to do with unity coding question

[stuck current]

There was nowhere else to put it

[rich adder]

if its unity related somehow then #🥽┃virtual-reality

[polar acorn]

I think they meant "inspector"

[rich adder]

ah ok

[polar acorn]

By which they probably actually meant "Editor"

But if your headset just isn't compatible with your OS, you aren't going to get far. You should consider getting an actual computer instead of a computer-shaped cellphone.

[rich adder]

or just run it in VM with parallels or fusion

whenever i need spydos I use that

[grand snow]

I presume this app exists for desktop vr and windows is the major platform for this
mac desktop gaming is dead or half dead and well linux is a second thought only some consider

[subtle bronze]

ive only just started with unity, how come a public inputsystem doesnt show up in the editor for the script its in and then whines that not even enable is a real function?

[grand snow]

perhaps share some code? !code

bot ded

[subtle bronze]

using UnityEngine.InputSystem; // required

public class NewPlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{

    public InputAction playerControlsNew;
    void OnEnable()
    {
        playerControlsNew.enable();
    }

[grand snow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.14/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_InputAction_Enable

case sensitive

[subtle bronze]

what a pain in my ass this whole engine is, thank you for helping me

[rich adder]

arm chips seem promising in growth for a decent market, about vr probably not any time yet unless you count vision, dropping games like cyberpunk for mac recently

[grand snow]

hate to brake it to you but basically every programming lang that exists is like this, you were lazy or your IDE is not setup correctly to let you catch this simple error right away.

[rich adder]

not fault of the engine lol

[grand snow]

true but the amount of games that have native mac releases is super low and shows why apple are also trying to make their own version of proton

[silver fern]

thanks. They don't match up at all and I have no idea why

it's detecting a ground collision here but ground is only the white stuff at the bottom

[rich adder]

true true. I'm just being hopeful in a bigger market xD

[rich adder]

what is?

[silver fern]

the collisions list from Physics2D.OverlapCollider(bulletCollider, collisions);

[rich adder]

is it set to ignore self / player and all that?

[silver fern]

yes but why does it detect ground collision

[rich adder]

are you talking about the green line on the character?

[silver fern]

no the collider on the yellow shape

[rich adder]

the function returns collider so print name of what is capturing

[silver fern]

it does print the name of the white ground object, but why

they're not even close

they're obviously not touching

[rich adder]

are you passing in the correct collider ?

[silver fern]

it has to be, its type PolygonCollider and it's the only PolygonCollider I'm using rn

bulletCollider = GetComponent<PolygonCollider2D>();in Start()

[rich adder]

if thats the only collider then should be fine..how many results are you returned with collisions.Count/Length

[silver fern]

3, two of them are as expected

being the background and player

[rich adder]

is this thing a moving object ?

[rich adder]

collider background?

[silver fern]

no it just appears, checks collision and disappears, but stays stationary

[silver fern]

yeah I use that to remove bullets that leave the playing field

[rich adder]

its not parented to mouse or anything

[silver fern]

the collider?

[rich adder]

yea

checks collision and disappears, but stays stationary

like rotation with mouse or any of that

[silver fern]

it goes in the direction of the mouse yeah but it shouldn't be parented

it just gets a direction vector

[rich adder]

its like an instantiated object ?

[silver fern]

yep, its instantiated in the attack script, but it appears in the scene hierarchy on the top level so I don't think it's parented to it in any way

I certainly didn't parent it explicitly

[languid pagoda]

i got it working but I definitely need to find the non existent artist in me to make it look good 😂 .

How do I make it so the particles live longer before being destroyed?

[main grove]

Hi sorry can i ask questions about game here?

[silver fern]

about game code

[main grove]

yes

i need an help for a meccanics

[languid pagoda]

ask your question

[main grove]

I’m making a 3D Unity game. It’s not my first, but I’m not very good yet, so I’m asking for help from more experienced people.

I want a “magnet” mechanic: the player has a sphere collider around them that detects objects (by tag or script). If they’re inside, the player attracts them. If I click the left mouse button, the effect inverts and the player repels them, like a real magnet.

I already made a script for attraction/repulsion (pasted at the end), but the result isn’t what I expected. I’d love some guidance — not full code from scratch, but maybe how to structure functions, or a simple customizable tutorial so I can learn for the future.

My idea:

Objects inside the trigger collider are attracted.

Left click repels them with opposite force.

Close to the player, they should orbit or stop on contact with a smaller inner collider, so they don’t push into the player or cause bugs (like flying away).

Maybe later I’ll add object switching or animations, but that’s secondary.

This is my concept. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

this

is big i know

[silver fern]

go to particle system properties and change lifetime

[languid pagoda]

ok this worked but the trail of smoke moves with the car. is there a way to make it so the particles de child themselves in the system

[silver fern]

set particle system simulation space to world

[languid pagoda]

Hmm so that makes it kinda stay still. Is there like a good resource for learning the particle system? There are way too many options in here to just goof around with .
https://streamable.com/k9spr5

[silver fern]

I suppose you gotta decrese the lifetime again then

but yeah https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/modifying-gravity-color-size-lifetime-of-particle-systems

[languid pagoda]

10 seconds is about how long it takes for the smoke from burning out takes

is there like a setting for a natural dispersion?

[silver fern]

look at velocity over lifetime

[rocky canyon]

in this example you'd want ur Duration to be 10 as well..

that way ur Lifetime of the particle has the time it needs to last for 10 sec

then for dispersion it a combo of color over lifetime -> alpha 0
size over lifetime -> towards zero etc

yea theres alot there to unpack.. but its not too bad (theres only a few that really matter all that much)

if ur doing it as a burnout u probably wouldnt need to be looping..

also nice to use the little gizmo 👇 (makes testing it alot easier)

[languid pagoda]

how do I edit the shape of the curve lol\

like i can click it but the curve editor doesn't pop up

[rocky canyon]

u can modify it right in the graph

[languid pagoda]

lol thanks

[rocky canyon]

click this and drag it upwards

[languid pagoda]

had it scrolle ddown

[rocky canyon]

yup yup 👍

[languid pagoda]

appreciate it!

[rocky canyon]

np, and it just takes fiddling with it to learn.. you kinda get the hang of it as u work with it

for me the duration was the most confusing.. b/c u have the main duration.. and u have the start lifetime
which is a little different

but just for a simple example..
think of it like this
if ur Main Duration is 10
and you have it set to Loop
and ur particle Lifetime is 5..
then (2) sets of particles would exist within that (10) second timeframe

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HKSvT2gcuk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEA1wTMJAR0
heres a couple of crash-course rundowns @languid pagoda

[languid pagoda]

huh thats a pretty odd way to make it but thanks for clarifying for me!

im going to give those videos a watch

[rocky canyon]

ya, i wouldnt make it like that.. but it kinda shows the difference

if u set ur start lifetime to 10.. it wouldnt make sense for ur main duration to be anything less

thats kinda the point i was trying to make

mine are ususally the same...

[rocky canyon]

for a stable magnet mechaic i'd keep the player responsible only for detecting and applying forces
and let hte objects just be "magnetizable" rigidbodies.. use a normalized direction vector and scale that force by distance (clamped so its not too week far away or explosive up close).. switching between attraction and repulsion would be as simple as just inverting the force when input is pressed (-force)

to stop objects from clipping into the player you could add a smaller inner trigger zone where you either zero out their velocity once they enter... to make them stick or.. add a sideways force so they orbit..

handle all the phyics in FixedUpdate() and give the objects some drag so they dont fling uncontrollably.. start simple and work ur way up to the full mechanic

if it were me i'd just start with attraction.. get all the behaviour worked out.. (like the clipping and all that crap)
then it'd be easy enough to refactor it to add repulsion as well.. then if u wanna go all out u could use falloff Curves to refine how exactly it would feel..

what exactly does the mechanic do?
like whats the purpose of this mechanic? it might clear up some things

instead of Stay()
i'd use Enter and Exit

    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Magnetizable"))
        {
            Rigidbody rb = other.attachedRigidbody;
            if (rb != null && !magnetizedObjects.Contains(rb))
                magnetizedObjects.Add(rb);
        }
    }

    void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        Rigidbody rb = other.attachedRigidbody;
        if (rb != null) magnetizedObjects.Remove(rb);
    }``` and I'd have a "Collection" of these objects
in the rest of the code you could loop thru the list applying the logic to each one

i rememeber not too long ago i did a 2D black-hole mechanic.. and i believe thats how i did it as well..
just adding the objects to a List<> and removing them once they exited

[rich adder]

wdym "as an text object"

[chilly vigil]

instead of an [serilzedField] priavte Tranform

[rich adder]

i don't understand what you want to do..
if you already serializefield the other TMP_Text why do you want to write name like that

[main grove]

thx tomorrow i try if i have time and let you know

[chilly vigil]

instead of an [serilzedField] private Tranform, basicly my highscore won't work with find and so i used gpt and it pointed me to [selized] tmp_pro.

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] TMP_Text myText was correct

you just have to drag the text you want to change into it

the gameobject that holds it works too

[chilly vigil]

code monkey alway says thst you should use [serlizeField] for string intead of find()

[rich adder]

its often better to link it through the inspector, sure

[rocky canyon]

the correlation is bad tho..

1. you shouldn't ever want to use Find() for anything unless you need to..
2. you should assign mostly everything you can in the inspector when possible edit: until you get familiar with coding.. then you can assign things via code to exclude that step too, assigning things in the inspector makes it easier to change those things
3. to do step 2 you should always lean on using [SerializeField] private rather than a public field
   3a. public fields are for fields you wan't to access publicly from elsewhere (other scripts)

also.. might wanna tighten up on your keyboard control as well..
coding is gonna be a bad time for you if you make typical spelling and grammar mistakes

[rich adder]

3a I'd prefer a Method or Property over a public field ever, much better options too
gives you flexibility to invoke react to change or run some logic

[rocky canyon]

also very true

[rich adder]

you should probably be careful with that gpt shit

[languid pagoda]

gpt can write some pretty advanced code

it wrote this multiline playable graph for me i just gotta feed the slip angles of the tires in, it can be used for lots of stuff and all I gotta do to use it drop it on an empty gameobject inside a canvas.
https://streamable.com/gvao61

[rich adder]

ohh this old song and dance i heard hundreds of times

writing code isnt even the main issue

[languid pagoda]

whats the issue?

i use it to write code I can probably write myself but cant be bothered doing

ie the graph

[crimson fable]

so, im new here, and i have a problem

[rich adder]

too many to list..

[languid pagoda]

ok

[rich adder]

if it works for you good, but we dont encourage it around here

especially beginners

[languid pagoda]

to say it doesn't have use is ignorant though

its a tool no different than visual studio or unity

for the experienced, its super simple

but im working on a thirdpersongame and i nailed idle and running animations, but i have no idea wtf im doing, and for the life of me i cant get jumping/in air animations

#💻┃unity-talk message

also dont crosspost

[alpine crystal]

Oh I might have been doing that because I've been needing help so bad

@rich adder

[frosty hound]

As you were told, ask a question. Stop pestering.

[rich adder]

if you needed help so urgently you'd actually ask the question in detail

[alpine crystal]

Ok

[alpine crystal]

I didn't know I'm not really used to being here it's just a simple question but okay

#💻┃unity-talk for some reason it's blocked for this when you try to say help me please

[frosty hound]

A simple question you have refused to ask for some odd reason.

[rich adder]

lol true you been blabbin everything but the question

[alpine crystal]

What are you talking about

[frosty hound]

What is your question?

[alpine crystal]

So I made something on blender and I've been trying to figure out how to paste it in until unity project and I've been trying to switch for so many tutorials and nothing helps because it's so old

[rich adder]

export to fbx -> drag into unity. done

[frosty hound]

First of all, not a coding question.

Secondly, export it as an FBX and drag it into Unity.

[alpine crystal]

Okay cuz I might even use it differently but I couldn't find where I can ask the question the general doesn't allow you to say what I need which is stupid but yeah I guess I can go back and replace it and then do it again I'll grab my PC but thank you

[rich adder]

you were typing just fine in UnityTalk...You probably tried to spam multiple messages and got bot blocked

[alpine crystal]

Oh

[rich adder]

next time open up with a question to your problem giving all the context and details in one message, no need to spam multiple "help" sentences, it does nobody any good just delays the help process..

[alpine crystal]

Ok now could you explained export it as an FBX and drag it into Unity. Like how do you fully do that cuz I'm going on unity right now to my project

You can just look up how to export fbx from blender, surely you exported a model before if you used blender to any capacity ? there is nothing different to it..
Put into unity project window / assets folder, if you used a computer you know how to drag a file into a program..

[alpine crystal]

How do you change a project name

[rich adder]

you should google these basics things.
close project. Rename the folder. Add it to Unity hub once more.
delete any .csproj/.sln files to regenerate them to new name

[alpine crystal]

Okay but for the AI probably when you give me a full example

@rich adder

[rich adder]

I have no idea what you are talking about here..also again this is a code channel you should move it to approriate channel if its related to unity..

[subtle bronze]

why does the capsule collider from a character controller module make the object slowly sink into the floor? also why does .Move choke up with 3 arguments when its a vector3? do people even use this garbage script? horrible to work with

[rich adder]

you should not be adding a capsule collider to character controller

[subtle bronze]

no i mean the one that it makes

[rich adder]

then idk what you mean slowly sink into floor. there shouldn't be anything sinking it unless you coded something wrong

[subtle bronze]

i figured it out, i tried setting up a rigidbody for the player bc i didnt think a character controller natively had movement

[alpine crystal]

I good now thx

Yeah

[gentle bone]

thats mostly what the ghost game is..

I can't it's 4:00AM

[gentle bone]

then do it later^^..

[lilac wave]

Okay so, you just don't wanna help rn besides that okay

[gentle bone]

im not here to do your coding... i gave you a hint for what you search...

[near wadi]

you were literally directed to a resource that covers most, if not all, of what you mentioned. you can also do the already mentioned learning portal learning. there is a tutorial there called John Lemon's Haunted Jaunt which covers many things too. Put In The Effort. and read the already linked to you #📖┃code-of-conduct

[fading barn]

Is their some way that I make a new class that is inherited from a class that also is a component and the new class can also be a component. Can classes that inherit from class other than monobehaviour be used as components

[naive pawn]

yes because they are also components

that's the point of inheritance

MonoBehaviour isn't even Component

Component is Component, and stuff extending MonoBehaviour are also components because they inherit Component

[fading barn]

So a class named component exist and monobehaviour and components (like rigidbody or collider) inherit from component class?

[naive pawn]

yes

[worn bay]

How do I know where did the rest of the time ms came from? I know it came from the method call itself, but I wanna know the specific intensive part within it if possible :')

(this is also in deep profiling)

[keen dew]

What's visible there adds up to 41 ms (and probably more in the part that's not shown) so in this case the cause is the sum of multiple small things instead of one big thing

[worn bay]

well here is the entire stack, and it left with remaining 11.52ms

[grand snow]

I think you can enable it showing GC alloc as well in the profiler which may also account for some of this time, not 100%

id make sure those optional things are enabled and then check again

[worn bay]

the one on the side?

[grand snow]

I think its in the call stacks dropdown button, someone correct me if wrong

[teal viper]

You need to expand it more. There's something pretty heavy happening on your object getting activated and you're activating a lot of them too.

[teal viper]

What kind of objects are you activating? What components do they have?

Also, because of the cropped screenshots, it's not clear, but do you have deep profiling enabled?

[worn bay]

Already stated here

[teal viper]

OK.
Another thing is that 900ms are coming from the editor, so might want to profile a build instead.

Or profile in the editor mode if you want to debug it.

[worn bay]

Lanes and hitobjects

Respectively one dynamically pushes a mesh from vertices calculation in list, and the other is just 3D objects

Have been thinking about pooling the hitobjects but it's too tangled to do it atm

[teal viper]

Well, whatever they're doing in Awake/Start/Enabled is probably quite heavy.

It's hard to say because of the editor noise. I'd suggest profiling a build.

[worn bay]

Building it now

[grand snow]

(must be dev build to support profiling)

[worn bay]

whoops, that was close 😅

Overlooked the build settings

[grand snow]

il2cpp may change perf a bit too but this should result in cleaner profiling

[worn bay]

Are you implying I should switch to Mono, if I'm being pedantic?

[grand snow]

well no because if you plan to use il2cpp for prod then why profile with mono?

i wouldnt change it and i presume a built wont take more than 20 mins anyway

[worn bay]

ah crud it doesn't take mouse input

How do I simulate a touch input on a build?

@grand snow if you don't mind

[grand snow]

Is this for mobile? If using input system you can have mouse input on your actions too or you need to add support for mouse explicitly for desktop.
Old input system makes touch work like mouse input but Input.touches is ofc only touch.

[teal viper]

If the target platform is mobile, you're probably better of profiling on mobile anyway.

[worn bay]

Yeah we're using the new one

[worn bay]

Fair enough

[grand snow]

profiling does work on mobile dev builds. android can be done over the network and usb, ios I think is network only.
Try adding mouse input to your actions if using them instead of enhanced touch.

[worn bay]

Generally I would be against it because I would presume it would be hell to do, constantly having to build the entire thing, update through apk, connect debugger, make changes, repeat

(I've never done mobile debugging before)

[teal viper]

Incremental builds should be pretty fast. And your environment should be configured to get into profiler in a minute.

At least, if you're serious about releasing the game on that platform.

[grand snow]

mobile builds (especially with il2cpp) arent that fast

but to profile accurately its the only way

[worn bay]

I don't mind waiting, it's just the cumbersome work to update the changes on the target device

[teal viper]

If you built once already, a lot of stuff should be reused from the cache. Especially around assets and shader compilation, that is usually what's taking most of the time.

[grand snow]

yea and with android build and run will install the app for you via adb and then open it

[worn bay]

So no manual update cycles required?

[grand snow]

you have to rebuild and update your app each time but it should build faster when little has changed

alright thank you

[worn bay]

update, I found this on build profiling

[teal viper]

Well, 22k calls to an indexer is a lot, but it might also be the deep profiling mode that adds a lot of overhead to it.

[worn bay]

this is definitely not adding up

[teal viper]

It does. Self time means that it's the code inside the method itself that is taking all the time. Not one of the children in the profiler

I'd suggest putting several profiler markers in your UpdateMesh method to see what parts of it are heavy.

[worn bay]

never heard of that

[teal viper]

This: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Unity.Profiling.ProfilerMarker.html

[grand snow]

Good god yea 2 seconds is bad.
Markers will help increase the detail of this data

You can also use stopwatch to time async things

[worn bay]

whats that

[worn bay]

in deep profiling btw

[grand snow]

Stopwatch is a type to let you measure time passed

Application.persistentDataPath how can I send this data on github?, also is it kept on build?

did anybody learn by making games with unity tutroials

[silver fern]

yeah

[warm magnet]

following code monkey course, can someone explain why this doesnt work?

[strong wren]

You most likely missed something

[silver fern]

afaict you're trying to initialize getScoreMultiplier at a time when scoreMultiplier does not have a value yet

[warm magnet]

ahhh ok thx 👍

[hexed terrace]

That's (probably going to be) a property - they've just missed a symbol

[silver fern]

I noticed something weird about my projectile collider. When it's pointed to the right, it detects collision with the white ground object, and when it's pointed to the left it does not, regardless of it actually touching the ground or not. Anyone have any ideas why it would do that?

this thing is driving me crazy

I tried Collider2D.Overlap, Physics2D.OverlapCollider and PhysicsScene2d.OverlapCollider and they all give me the same results

[silver maple]

Trying to make vs recognize the movement crap. ( ie :MonoBehaviour) It's not having it. Any advice

[grand snow]

[silver fern]

or does anyone have any ideas on how to debug the collisions beyond printing out the colliding object names?

or do I have to write my own collision logic somehow

[grand snow]

the unity physics debugger will help you out and may be better incase you are using the gizmos incorrectly

[silver fern]

thanks I'll have a look at that

is meshcollider the same as polygoncollider?

because it doesn't have an option for polygon colliders

[grand snow]

Ah poo it may be for 3d physics only

are you using vertx rn?

[silver fern]

yeah

[grand snow]

That should be pretty good but if you are getting colissions that dont make sense then you probably did something wrong
more likely your gizmo is wrong than physics 2d

You can try things like using Debug.Break() to pause the game when a collision happens so you can check what state things are in

[silver fern]

gizmo being the collider?

using break here right as the collisions are detected, and everything looks the way it should be, but it's still detecting the ground collision when pointed to the right side

the purple box is what vertx is showing me, so the colliders are definitely in the right location afaict

[grand snow]

both cant be true can they?

how can it collide if its not anywhere close?

[silver fern]

that is exactly my question. I can't explain the results I am seeing

[grand snow]

do what i suggeted use Debug.Break() to pause the game when this bad collision happens so you can check the game state

[silver fern]

I did, afaict the state is as it should be

[ashen girder]

Is the 3d mobile template good if i wanted to make something for android ? Or is 3d universal still the best

[silver fern]

except for that collision

[grand snow]

try greatly simplifying the collider to just have 4 verts or use another collider type.

[grand snow]

might as well use 3d mobile, it surely uses urp anyway

[ashen girder]

Alright thanks

[silver fern]

I'm using a normal CapsuleCollider2D now and it has the exact same issue

how is this even possible

[grand snow]

i wonder if its how you move the object when you look left/right

[silver fern]

it doesn't actually move, it gets instantiated with a rotation, checks collisions once, and then disappears

wait a minute, is it possible that it checks collision before rotation

[grand snow]

hmm yea that sounds a bit sus

[silver fern]

bullet = Instantiate(ultimateAttackPrefab, projectileSpawnerTransform.position, gunHandTransform.rotation); but it's instantiated with the rotation so that shouldn't happen right

[grand snow]

do you change its parent or anything like that after?

[silver fern]

no not at all

[silver fern]

I just realized something weird

if i put Debug.Break(); in the line before instantiate, it will still show the projectile on the break

shouldnt it stop before that?

I think I just saw the projectile very briefly appear in a wrong rotation before correcting itself for like 1 frame and I'm trying to capture that but no luck

is there any way to make sure the rotation happens before anything else?

[naive pawn]

it pauses at the end of the frame

[silver fern]

I fixed it in a really stupid way

instead of applying rotation in code I edited the sprite to be pre rotated and now it works

thanks for help rob

[west sonnet]

Is using "Resources.Load<GameObject>("PathToPrefab")" bad game design?

[silver fern]

for some reason, it checked collision before rotation even when I apply a rotation in Awake()

[silver fern]

depends on what are you doing exactly

I'd say that line by itself is not game design

[naive pawn]

it's probably a bad practice but it's unrelated to gamedesign, yeah

more about architecture

if it's a constant string, just.. use a serialized reference, this is arguably more work

[rich adder]

dang i knew it had to do with rotation just couldnt put my finger on it..

[silver fern]

it was really hard to tell

[rich adder]

hah yea.. at least its finally fixed 😮‍💨

[patent wedge]

LerpAngle's values aren't in 360 range?

Vector2 Vel = (LastMousePos - UIMousemove.action.ReadValue<Vector2>()) * Time.deltaTime;

bool moving = UIMousemove.action.ReadValue<Vector2>() != LastMousePos;
float angle = Mathf.Atan2(Vel.x, -Vel.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

var AngleSpeed = moving ? (MovingSpeed * Vel.sqrMagnitude) : StillSpeed;
currentAngle = Mathf.LerpAngle(currentAngle, moving ? angle : 45, Time.deltaTime * AngleSpeed);

Quaternion val = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, currentAngle));

transform.rotation = val;
``` i've debugged angle and that appears to be in 360 range but not LerpAngle? (ps should velocity be divided or multipied by deltaTime)

[silver fern]

multiplied

[silver fern]

"Description
Same as Lerp but makes sure the values interpolate correctly when they wrap around 360 degrees.

This method returns the shortest path between the specified angles. This method wraps around values that are outside the range [-180, 180]. For example, LerpAngle(1.0f, 190.0f, 1.0f) returns -170.0f. To find the longest path use Lerp."

[patent wedge]

yeah i know that but the values's im getting aren't in that range. i'm getting values like -2834.33

[silver fern]

what's your value for t?

[cunning bramble]

Yo guys i need help so i have an plant and i want so see it from an diff ancle so i made an script and wenn i press E it gets me there but i want it so that it only works if i am near by any ideas?

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

[patent wedge]

you can see it in the code?

[rich adder]

distance check or overlap

[cunning bramble]

overlap?

[silver fern]

whats the actual value

[rich adder]

yes like OverlapSphere to grab all colliders within a radius.
distance check could suffice too..

[patent wedge]

i have it 1440.

[silver fern]

it has to be between 0 and 1

[patent wedge]

time.deltaTime isn't always between 0 - 1? and also remember i'm multiplying the value by velocity also.

[silver fern]

make sure it ends up between 0 and 1

after multiplication

[patent wedge]

so...
Mathf.LerpAngle(currentAngle, moving ? angle : 45, Time.deltaTime * Mathf.Clamp01(AngleSpeed));

[silver fern]

0 is the start point, 1 the end point

[subtle bronze]

how am i intended to transform another game object? my code looks something like this and it says object reference not set to instance of an object

    void Awake()
    {
        GameObject playerCamera = GameObject.Find("PlayerCam");
    }
    void Update()
    {
        playerCamera.transform.Rotate(0, 0, lookInput.y * mouseSens, Space.World);
    }```

[worn bay]

I might have got it https://paste.ofcode.org/TZP3ZcCTyE4M6emDvrFCUL
@grand snow

[patent wedge]

ok... that's just made it slow not actually fixing my problem.

[rich adder]

ur storing playerCamera locally, not assigning the field
whatever is assigned, is only done within Awake()

[silver fern]

you can think of t like a progress bar for your lerp, 0 is 0%, 1 is 100% aka the end of your lerp

[subtle bronze]

what, in awake? am i supposed to have it in update? i thought finding it would be a massive performance hit if its done every frame

[silver fern]

try making camera a serialized field and dragging in the camera object in the inspector

[rich adder]

no you would just store it once in awake... no need to keep assigning in Update.
Anyway, its also better to just assign it in the inspector if its possible

you have to distinguish between Local variables and Fields, need to refresh on c# basics

[grand snow]

Are you sampling animation curves for these? currentLaneStep.StartEaseX.Get(x)

and what is f_addLine(), a member func or a delegate?

[rich adder]

@subtle bronze

void Awake(){
int myNumber = 3;}

void Method(){
myNumber = 2; // error because myNumber only exists in Awake
}```

[subtle bronze]

that made it work, thank you

[worn bay]

a method to push vertices data into a list (inefficient, I know)

void f_addLine(Vector3 start, Vector3 end)
{
    // No AddRange here because the alloc overhead adds up
    _Verts.Add(start);
    _Verts.Add(end);

    if (_Verts.Count > 2)
    {
        _Tris.Add(_Verts.Count - 4);
        _Tris.Add(_Verts.Count - 2);
        _Tris.Add(_Verts.Count - 3);
        _Tris.Add(_Verts.Count - 2);
        _Tris.Add(_Verts.Count - 1);
        _Tris.Add(_Verts.Count - 3);
    }
}

-# disclaimer I didn't wrote this so idk the numbers here

[rich adder]

okay but do you understand why previously it didn't work ? thats more important

[grand snow]

well apart from whatever that Add() stuff is, do you create these lists with a good size?

[cunning bramble]

@rich adder thank you got it but now is there an problem so my player is blocking the view and i cant deaktivate him bc the camera is at the player so what could i do guys?

[subtle bronze]

because once it got set in awake, no other void could see the value that awake set

[silver fern]

make player transparent when camera is close?

[worn bay]

I set the capacity to the lists

        private static readonly List<Vector3> _Verts = new(2048);
        private static readonly List<int>     _Tris  = new(1024);

[cunning bramble]

i dont understand wdym? @silver fern

[rich adder]

only because it was Local (you declared another camera in the method)

private GameObject playerCamera;
    void Awake(){
        playerCamera = GameObject.Find("PlayerCam");
    }
    void Update(){
        playerCamera.transform.Rotate(0, 0, lookInput.y * mouseSens, Space.World);
    }```
this would work..
but again, most times you want to assign inspector and avoid Find.

[silver fern]

the player is blocking the view when the camera is right on the player?

[cunning bramble]

Wait i show you

[naive pawn]

this is wronglerp btw
https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp

[rich adder]

blocking it in what way ? what do you want to do change the angle or hide the player?
if latter just disable the mesh momentarily

[cunning bramble]

Thats what i mean

[silver fern]

move camera in front or make player invisible maybe

[rich adder]

ok so what do you want to do..
Hide the player or change the angle

[cunning bramble]

Hide the player

But if i deaktive him the cam getts shut down 🙁

[rich adder]

then you just reference the mesh component and disable it

no need to shut down entire gameobject for just visuals..

[cunning bramble]

okay let me try it out

[rich adder]

[SerializeField] Renderer r
r.enabled = isPlayerVisisble

[cunning bramble]

Okay

So i made this but the codilor is still active but i think i deactivated it 🙁

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

[silver fern]

whats the issue with the collider

[cunning bramble]

i cant click trouhg

[rocky canyon]

u can really easily check the inspector and see if its enabled or not during playmode

[cunning bramble]

Wait i am showing you

oh yes true

[rocky canyon]

enabled < > disabled

[rich adder]

btw why are these MBs instead of just their component/script name
public MonoBehaviour cameraScript;

[rocky canyon]

should correspond to ur debug too..

[cunning bramble]

this is my problem guss

guyss

[rocky canyon]

ive done that before.. as a list... so i could enable / disable multiple scripts at one ;D

[cunning bramble]

Yes let me check

[rocky canyon]

shame on me.. lol

[cunning bramble]

Yes so the capsule colider gets deactivaded

but i cant click trough

[rich adder]

ohh.. but if they're all MBs/components they should still have .enable no ? or is the list for like a "generic" @rocky canyon

[rocky canyon]

then its most likely some other issue besides that collider

[naive pawn]

use mp4 to have it embed in discord

[silver fern]

I think you should be able to set the collider to ignore raycast

[cunning bramble]

oh okay let me change it

[rocky canyon]

thats why I've done it in the past... so i can access .enable on diff scripts

dont know their excuse tho

[rich adder]

gotcha

[rocky canyon]

for a single script... i wouldnt see why u wouldnt use the class type

just for clarity

[naive pawn]

(Component doesn't have enabled, it's from Behaviour/Renderer/Collider/Collider2D)

[cunning bramble]

Urrmmm i cant keep up so what are my options now? xD

[rocky canyon]

👀 👓 CLARITY

[rocky canyon]

its probably not the collider thats the issue

[rich adder]

oh yeah thats behaviour.. im buggin

[rocky canyon]

thats where we at

[cunning bramble]

hmm okay

[rocky canyon]

good to bug from time to time

[rocky canyon]

maybe some context

like the setup...

what are u trying to click thru..

and how

[cunning bramble]

trouhg the charackter aka PLAYER

To farm the Crops from the plant

[rocky canyon]

yea but how u clicking? is it a raycast? are u using the eventsystem?

ahh its a raycast i see now

debug the hit of the raycast and see whats blocking it

[cunning bramble]

okay let me add it

[rocky canyon]

hit.collider.name

[topaz elbow]

hii

[rocky canyon]

nav.. ur up

[rich adder]

https://nohello.net

[silver fern]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html you want to use the layerMask for it so it ignores the player

[rocky canyon]

thats a good ^ workaround

exclude ur player permanently

[cunning bramble]

So i click the player

so i need to do make the player ignore?

[silver fern]

yea

[topaz elbow]

yo gng, ive always been putting off learning c# because im scared that theres a massive difference if i watch a tut that uses smth like v2022, and im using unity 6 (v6000). is there acc a big diff in the coding part or am i just dumb?

[topaz elbow]

and if i only wanna learn 3d, should i still watch the 2d section or is it not important?

[rocky canyon]

this is my suggestion

[topaz elbow]

whats the difference?

[cunning bramble]

okay i dont understand nothing anymore bro like what do i need to do @rich adder @silver fern @rocky canyon

[rocky canyon]

2d and 3d work the same in terms of coding... u just use different components..

[topaz elbow]

oh, makes sense

😅

[rocky canyon]

create a layermask..
[SerializeField] LayerMask whatShouldRaycastHit;

[topaz elbow]

real

[rocky canyon]

plug that into the Raycast using the overload that takes the layermask

[topaz elbow]

im js gonna do the unity one, ty!

[rocky canyon]

put the player on a layer called Player or something. and exclude that from the layermask

[topaz elbow]

its more reassuring knowing that it cant have any mistakes

idk why

[cunning bramble]

I dont get it @rocky canyon

[silver fern]

you know what a layermask is?

[cunning bramble]

I got it guys @silver fern @rich adder @rocky canyon i really appricate it I THANK YOU ❤️

[topaz elbow]

wait how do i reopen this gng

it aint here

[rocky canyon]

if its the correct project should be in this little Readme thing

or Tutorial folder check that

Trying to make vs recognize the movement crap. ( ie :MonoBehaviour) It's not having it. Any advice
Have already updated visual studio editor package, set vs to the external editor in unity, and followed the ide guides but still got the issue

[grand snow]

!ide

[radiant void]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

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

[grand snow]

its ide configuration time!

[silver maple]

ye I've followed all of that but not managed to get it going

[silver fern]

does serialize field actually prevent overwriting a value in code

[grand snow]

no

its just saved to the scene/prefab and applied on load
after that you can do what you want to it, but only AFTER Awake (well when Awake is executed its safe)

[silver fern]

this is really weird, I'm trying to change the value of a speed variable via a method but it keeps changing back to its original value when moving

[grand snow]

animators can do this if the value is changed by an animation state

[silver fern]

ohh

[grand snow]

clearly not

[silver maple]

I have done what the guide says to do, but yes that still claims to be compatable

[grand snow]

go to edit > preferences, make sure visual studio is the editor selected and THEN press "regenerate solution"

remember that vs code is not the same as visual studio

[silver fern]

thanks rob

[silver maple]

I have just done this again, but still it hasn't worked

[grand snow]

is your vs updated and has the unity tools feature added? Check in visual studio installer

[silver maple]

yep have both installed

[topaz elbow]

nun there

[silver maple]

I'd really appreciate any other ideas 🙁

[grand snow]

time to delete all sln and .csproj files in your project and try again

[silver maple]

so delete those files and then regenerate them through unity?

[grand snow]

yea it will re make them for you

[hot wadi]

Do u use abstract class or interface for state machines?

[topaz elbow]

could someone help?

[silver maple]

That didn't work. but I restarted pc and then it allowed me to reload the 2 fucked up projects at the top which has now fixed my problem. Thank you for help 🙂

[tall heart]

After how many small games do you guys learn how to make a game without any help mostly

[rocky canyon]

did you even extract the zip and open it thru the hub?i dont see any of these folders in there

Step 3.. <--- launching the project

it 💯 is there..

both ways work... extracting the zip download from the website..
or launching it thru the hub 👇

[main grove]

thanks you very much i made a fully functional script for literally what i've looking for if you wan't the code in dm to see if i did it right or i can change somethings or help for other questions just let me know. really thanks you. CatLick

[topaz elbow]

its a zip?!

[random lodge]

Bug?

[hexed terrace]

probaly with your project, not Unity

[random lodge]

All I did is remove a script and add an empty one

Restarted, did the same thing, same error

[hexed terrace]

If that prefab had the script you removed in it, then "all you did" was break your project

[random lodge]

How is removing a script from a prefab breaking the project

If that's so that's bad

They are made to change

[hexed terrace]

I took this to mean, from the project, not from the prefab

[random lodge]

Yea I removed the prefab script that was an empty script and re-created a new empty one

[hexed terrace]

Read the full console, rather than that tiny bit at the bottom

[random lodge]

And that error comes up every time

Complains about no monobehavior but it's there

[hexed terrace]

remove the prefab script

From where..

[random lodge]

from the prefab

[hexed terrace]

Ok, show a screenshot of the full console error

[hexed terrace]

That isn't saved

[random lodge]

Ah, weird that it throws an error after it creates the script itself

[hexed terrace]

Compilation can sometimes not finish or whatever, the fix is usually just to force another recompile

[ivory bobcat]

Is this code related? Is it something to do with code you've written? What's in the project? You need to provide more context.

[random lodge]

If the animation of a sprite is larger than the sprite prefab that animates what would be the best way to have the animation sprites set to the same size as the prefab sprite? (animation results in it "expanding" size since they are different).

Guess I can pickup the prefab size and use it to resize the animation before playing in entry or so

[chilly vigil]

yes, it is i Added a C# to HighscoreTable (Game object) with same name.
Drag in the highscoreEntryContainer , highscoreEntryTranforms and then the following (Text Mesh Pro UGUI) elements (PosText, scoreText and nameText.
Underneath the transform add Drag in the highscoreEntryContainer , highscoreEntryTranforms and then the following (Text Mesh Pro UGUI) elements (PosText, scoreText and nameText
Press play this is all i did, plus tryed to make the [Field] text objects in one c#, were as gpt had me make an c# for Tmp text ojbects

[silver fern]

does it still happen after restarting unity

[chilly vigil]

it happen late last night and today after i turn on my pc

[silver fern]

what code do you have?

[chilly vigil]

also i sent an bug report about it

[silver fern]

thx

[chilly vigil]

np

[silver fern]

at a glance this looks like it shouldn't crash

do you have the newest version of unity?

[chilly vigil]

2021 and no it is 6.2 or 6.1

[silver fern]

2021?

[chilly vigil]

yes 2021.3.24

[silver fern]

you're using a version from 4 years ago?

[chilly vigil]

i have 6.1 in my OneDrive, 2023.2.16f1 in my program files, 2022.3.3f in my OneDrive, 2021.3.2f1 in my OneDrive

[silver fern]

and which one are you using?

[chilly vigil]

2021 for this project

[silver fern]

try using 6.1 or 6.2

[chilly vigil]

ok should i store it in my onedrive or nah use my portable hardrive

[silver fern]

probably not

but I don't use onedrive so idk

[chilly vigil]

it fills it up with unity game engine files.

[silver fern]

yeah on harddrive is probably easier

[naive pawn]

yeah don't put unity projects in onedrive

[chilly vigil]

i have an hardrive with 1Tb

[silver fern]

thats fine

[hoary spade]

random question what is called when you have like final fantasy 2.5d sprite but then during battle you see a detailed character model like you would see in an anime

[polar acorn]

I don't think that's really called anything in particular

[hoary spade]

i figured i though it would ahve a name but you know what i mean right

[minor pier]

Does anyone have tips on some good baseline values for 2D Metroidvania-style movement? Right now my movement feels a bit off - I stay in the air too long and the speed doesn’t feel quite right. I’m just starting out, so I don’t have animations yet, but while testing and playing around it already feels off. Any advice would be appreciated!

idk how much of a coding question this is I imagine it has to be done via code but im not really sure, but how do racing games make it so the car engine sounds different when the camera is inside the car in first person view? I actually opened up the game files and there are not seperate sounds for inside vs outside view.

^ this was the request right?

[naive pawn]

could be spatial audio

[languid pagoda]

I dont really think so because colliders are solid, wouldn't none of the sound waves get in?

[naive pawn]

perhaps check out gmtk's platformer toolkit demo thing - you might need higher down gravity for example, or to tweak acceleration

[minor pier]

stronger gravity could work ye

[silver fern]

using audio effects probably

[naive pawn]

colliders are part of the physics system. the sound system may or may not care about the physics system, and there could also be extra processing

keep in mind sound waves don't exist in the game engine - that's not what spatial audio is

[languid pagoda]

idk i haven't really touched it and when I did steam audio was what you had to use to use it in unity and it litteraly just did pathfinding and played the audio from the opened doorway for example instead of through the wall. I am very aware the sound waves dont exist in the game but my point was colliders would stop the sound from entering as that is the entire point of spatial audio or am I mistaken?

[naive pawn]

spatial audio is a concept, that's one possible implementation

[silver fern]

spatial audio usually means you can hear from which direction a sound is coming

[naive pawn]

(also solid objects don't fully block sound irl)

[deep warren]

can i ask something here?

[languid pagoda]

hmm i guess I could look into an audio library to add some sort of effects on top of the existing clips that is probably the better idea

[naive pawn]

https://dontasktoask.com

[silver fern]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/AudioMixerOverview.html you can apply some effects in the mixer

[naive pawn]

@languid pagoda in any case i think you should ask #🔊┃audio
it might be related to code but the folks there will know more about it

[deep warren]

What do I need to learn on Unity Learn to get the Unity Professional certification?

[languid pagoda]

everything

[naive pawn]

please don't crosspost

[deep warren]

okey. sorry.

[deep warren]

you are Meaning All of Path Way?

[keen dew]

You don't get the certification from Unity Learn. To get the Professional cert you need several years of work experience

[hollow flare]

i have an odd error with building in Xcode. is this a good place to ask?

hey so like how do you do ledge grabs in unity? I assume it has smth to do with raycasts but I'm not sure what the specifics are

[silver fern]

break it down into steps that the character needs to execute and do the appropriate checks

[smoky ruin]

https://streamable.com/n0me2i Well, my movement system has a small problem, every time it goes to a slope, and stays there, its vertical speed is not reset as it should be, causing it to have a residue of vertical speed, and when it leaves the slope, either from the sides or from above, it jumps by itself, simply by itself, could someone help me with this?

[smoky ruin]

oh, sorry

https://hastebin.skyra.pw/ejocosijac.csharp

[slender nymph]

at no point do you appear to be resetting the vertical velocity, so unless the asset does that internally (which you'd have to consult its documentation and any relevant support channels to determine that) you should consider resetting the vertical velocity when it is on stable ground

[smoky ruin]

The KCC engine already does this task automatically and, for some reason, it does not reset the Vertical when on slopes, only on flat terrain.

[slender nymph]

then either reset it manually like i suggested, or if you think this is a bug in the asset then you need to report it to the asset developer through whatever support channels they have

[cunning bramble]

yo guys i need help i have an world text but i want it to be like XRAY so i can see it trouhg walls any ideas?

[languid pagoda]

Why is this code making the rotation rotate in the shortest path?

 void Update()
 {
     if (!needle) return;

     
     float t = (maxRPM <= minRPM) ? 0f : Mathf.InverseLerp(minRPM, maxRPM, engine.engineRPM);

     Quaternion target = Quaternion.Slerp(qMin, qMax, t);

     
    current = target;

     if (useWorldRotation) needle.rotation = current;
     else needle.localRotation = current;
 }

 // Keep your original signature but return eulers derived from quaternion slerp
 public Vector3 GetAngleFromRPM(float rpm)
 {
     float t = (maxRPM <= minRPM) ? 0f : Mathf.InverseLerp(minRPM, maxRPM, rpm);
     return Quaternion.Slerp(qMin, qMax, t).eulerAngles;
 }

https://streamable.com/ppbhnk

[vital otter]

i could try and take a guess and say the Lerp is incorrect or something? the min and max might be reversed
im not too good at scripting, i only started learning on tuesday

i hope its helpful though!

[silver fern]

slerp always gives the shortest path

[vital otter]

do they need to use Lerp instead?

[languid pagoda]

rip what would be a good alternative?

[silver fern]

animation tween I'd say

[languid pagoda]

yuck

any other alternative?

I hate messing with those

lol

Thank you both for your intput tho none the less!

[cunning bramble]

yo guys i need help i have an world text but i want it to be like XRAY so i can see it trouhg walls any ideas?

[vital otter]

set the rotation to a variable thats a lerp from the starting value to the max value it my guess

then it shouldnt take the shortest path because the lerp variable is taking the longest path

[silver fern]

that could work

[silver fern]

what

[cunning bramble]

I will show you wait 10 sec

You seeing the difference?

@silver fern

[silver fern]

I don't know how to do this, you will probably have to use a shader

[cunning bramble]

okay but still thanks

[grand snow]

Or you draw it in overlay UI which is the correct way to do this

https://learn.unity.com/course/create-with-vr

[languid pagoda]

still struggling with this if anyone has some suggestions, I tried making an animation but when I press play its doing a similar thing where it takes a shorter path on a different axis

[timber tide]

Better question is why do you slerp but return as eulers

either case slerp will always rotate shortest anyway

[languid pagoda]

so what is the alternative?

[rocky canyon]

i think ive had success doing MoveTowards

[silver fern]

looks like just using lerp like rebuild said is easiest

or try this https://github.com/DreddDev/UnityUISpeedometer/blob/main/Tutorial.md

[rocky canyon]

my switches did that originally.. or maybe it was a door.. (but they both use the same script)
it would rotate around backwards b/c the new angle was closer

[languid pagoda]

I think the problem im having is in the editor I have to rotate it on 3 axis when I should really only have to on one too

[rocky canyon]

but yea

MoveTowards fixed it for me i think

[rocky canyon]

theres options u can chose in the Animator to help sort that out too

try changing these options ^

[languid pagoda]

oh yeah i tried that that didn't work either

im going to try movetwards

[rocky canyon]

gud luck

    private void Update()
    {
        float targetAngle = isOn ? max : min;
        currentAngle = Mathf.MoveTowards(currentAngle, targetAngle, speed * Time.deltaTime);
        ApplyRotation(currentAngle);
    }

    private void ApplyRotation(float _angle)
    {
        Vector3 euler = axis.normalized * _angle;
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(euler);
    }``` this is the setup in the video ^ i sent

i have lots of things that require only a single axis to be rotated.. so i use the same script for everything that pivots..
Switches, Doors, Levers, Turntables, etc

i like doing it in code b/c i can easily reuse the code as well

ohh and i forgot to mention.. the axis is just a vector.. so i can easily swap which axis i want to use
0,1,0 1,0,0 or 0,0,1

[languid pagoda]

I dont have the option, like yeah I should be able to rotate it on one axis, but when I use the rotate gizmo in unity it changes rotation on all 3 axis so I wrote this.

 float t = Mathf.InverseLerp(minRPM, maxRPM, engine.engineRPM);

 var tarX = Mathf.MoveTowards(qMin.x, qMax.x, t* Time.deltaTime);
 var tarY = Mathf.MoveTowards(qMin.y, qMax.y, t * Time.deltaTime);
 var tarZ = Mathf.MoveTowards(qMin.z, qMax.z, t* Time.deltaTime);
 
 needle.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(tarX, tarY, tarZ);

not exactly sure what I did wrong but now the needle points out toward the driver.

[rocky canyon]

theres a Vector3 MoveTowards if u wanna clean that up a bit 😉

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Vector3.MoveTowards.html

i used the Mathf b/c i only use a single axis

[languid pagoda]

Ill try that now but its probably going to result in same behavior.

I also tried needle.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(tarX, tarY, tarZ));

[rocky canyon]

ahh ur running into Gimbal lock situations

is it a speedo needle?

why would u need to do anything more than a single axis? (Z) ?

[languid pagoda]

yep

idk why I need to but the 3d model is forcing me

i guess its a bad 3d model

but it looks good everything else about it is good so I am going to have to figure out a work around. I am about to just use a canvas ui and give it a digital dash 😂

[rocky canyon]

if its a bad 3d model.. u can use EMPTY gameobjects and organize it inside of that..
making sure the EMPTY is orientated the correct way

and rotate the EMPTY instead of the model

[timber tide]

Doesnt look like you need slerp here anyway. Just clamp and lerp between the new and old

angle^

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Quaternion.AngleAxis.html
Can use that to get a rotation with the up being its local up

[languid pagoda]

angles* the 3d model requires rotation on all 3 axis to rotate the way I need it to

[timber tide]

we're talking about the speedometer here right

[languid pagoda]

im uploading a video now even putting it in an empty gameobject results in weird rotation

[timber tide]

looks like it's just rotating a single axis to me

[languid pagoda]

and thats the way it should be but watch the end of the video in the inspector

https://streamable.com/mxvsm7

[timber tide]

changing the values on the inspector is eulers

this is why you use quaternions

if the pivot is correct you should not have a problem with angleaxis

[languid pagoda]

I dont understand how I am meant to get the min/max angles if the inspector values arent relevant

also what axis should I rotate on if I cant look in the inspector to determine it

[timber tide]

depends how it's all imported

ideally you import it y-up, z-forward

which in that case means angle 0 here is 4 on the speedometer, and y would be its rotational axis

I'd make yourself an editor executable script with angle axis and mess with those values instead of touching the inspector values

[timber tide]

Well, this is under the assumption you're childing to the car that's also imported as z-forward. But in any case you know the range so all you need to do is find a min/max angle if it doesn't sit nicely

[rocky canyon]

ohh i see.. i was thinking more along the lines that it was an Overlay.. or something like a HUD
ya those rotations are gonna be influenced by all its parent objects.. bit of a sticky situation

[languid pagoda]

im trying the angle axis suggestion from Mao now and if that doesnt work it will be a UI Digital dash

[rocky canyon]

probably could put a gameobject a parent of the dial.. (rotate it so the dial aligns with it's axis) and use local rotations for the "Dial"..

could eliminate that awkward rotations

from the video im guessing that "tach" object has some odd scaling/rotations and isn't zero'd out

tried it myself.. lmao i forgot how much of a pain it is to get smooth values when doing speedometers

needs moar smoothing!! 🫠

[languid pagoda]

Its just an empty object

[rocky canyon]

then doan

its something up the chain.. or this itself..

[rocky canyon]

need clean values like 0,0,0

so if u rotate the Z.. then only the Z changes

i mean the gizmo makes it obvious..

that blue axis is not.. aligned with that needle 😅

[languid pagoda]

ok i figured it out now

need zeroed out

adjust parent to make it visualy correct

then rotate the child

[rocky canyon]

mmhmmm!

zero'd rotation
and 1,1,1 scaled
makes a happy 🌍

its always nice to test on things isolated too...

if ur working on scripting and logic.. best to use a simple object..
basic as can be.. zero rotation.. 1 scale.. no parents..

get the script working with that.. and u know the script is fine

[nimble oracle]

does anyone have some good videos/papers on world generation with perlin noise? im trying to get into it but the stuff ive made so far doesnt involve erosion, octaves etc

and trying to implement them myself has resulted in not much

[rocky canyon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbpMiKiSKm8&list=PLFt_AvWsXl0eBW2EiBtl_sxmDtSgZBxB3
sebastian lague has a good series on it..

altho its not 💯 complete.. theres a few things he leaves out or assumes u know / find urself..

but overall its pretty decent

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsEnnB2wrbI

and heres another.. i haven't watched this one yet.. but the comments seem to give it praise

[nimble oracle]

i think i kind of idled my way through most of them without paying attention, i guess ill have to go back and watch them and actually listen this time

[rocky canyon]

the second video seems good to explain it in theory

and not so much engine-specific
