[earnest wind]

yes

but i dont know when the player comes in

[slender nymph]

you fire the event when the player is spawned

[earnest wind]

he can come in later

[rich adder]

have it register itself

[earnest wind]

yeah thats true too

[slender nymph]

that's like, the whole point of using events. you use them to respond to certain things that can happen at any time.

[rich adder]

you can even make the event static , this is pretty handy if you have more than one player joining.. you can sub to 1 event and get different players
public static event Action<Player>OnPlayerSpawn;
//player
Spawn(){ OnPlayerSpawn?.Invoke(this)

you don't need to then sub to each instance

[earnest wind]

actually thanks a lot guys

i just changed a lot of the game logic now

it just hit my head that i can just make an Instance to the PlayerManager - the thing that spawns the player

and dont need to carry around the reference and pass it along with all of the other scripts when they need it

[rich adder]

its the great thing about this there are so many ways to solve a problem

[earnest wind]

and i somehow always choose the worst ones and make pasta out of the code

[rich adder]

yeah when you don't know better but then you learn better, realize mistakes and learn / get exp

[winged ridge]

There's a saying "There's more than one way to skin a cat" implying that you can do the same task in many ways and get the same result, code is very much like that, as long as it works there's no real right or wrong way

[polar dust]

the motto I live by
if it works, it works

once it works, move on to the next thing

[winged ridge]

Very good motto. Always helps with bug fixing: is it game breaking if yes fix it now, is it annoying but won't break the game but worth circling back to, if yes do it later. Is it just visual and not a bug that affects gameplay. If yes does it have to be fixed?

[grand snow]

tech debt is a thing so if it "works" but its implemented poorly it will come back to haunt you

its relative to each project though so for quick things it may never matter

[polar acorn]

1. Make it run
2. Make it right
3. Make it fast

In that order.

[earnest wind]

At first made my own editor be only 1 selection at a time, then added multi select, then oops, performance issues 🤗🤗😔

Happily fixed them all last week, so everything is as smooth as it can be (pretty sure someone can find a way to make it faster, but it runs at max fps for me so its okay)

[polar dust]

what takes practice is knowing when its appropriate to address certain issues early on before they become a real problem

[stray lake]

Hello

I'm new here, nice to meet you all

[zenith mantle]

same

what's wrong with this 🙏 im following a tutorial from 2023

[rich adder]

so what did error say

[rich adder]

did you make hit a RaycastCommand ?

[polar acorn]

What type is castPos and hit?

[zenith mantle]

yea

[polar acorn]

Why

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

Look for what type the out parameter is here

[rich adder]

and your IDE looks configured, it also shows in signature as you type

[zenith mantle]

local variable

[polar acorn]

That's not a Type

[zenith mantle]

im gonna be real real honest with you, i have barely read 1/4 of unity docs

[winged ridge]

Its more a reference than a requirement. By type they mean int, float, Vector, RaycastHit

[polar acorn]

https://www.w3schools.com/cs/cs_data_types.php

[winged ridge]

Love that website, great references and examples on it

[rich adder]

in the docs link sent, look at the signature has the out keyword you will be able to tell quickly which type you need

RaycastCommand aint the one

[surreal ingot]

Hi, i am trying to make a 2d flight controller for a new game I'm developing and was seeing if anyone could help me out. I'm still figuring stuff out any, help would be really appreciated!

[winged ridge]

Thats a loaded question, too much for this channel, try looking on UnityLearn and Youtube for resources

[surreal ingot]

ok thanks

[dense goblet]

quick question, any quick functions that wait one second before the next line of code\

[winged ridge]

public IEnumerator Delay(){
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
}
StartCoroutine(Delay()); where you want the pause

[dense goblet]

tyty

[slender nymph]

note that coroutines do not delay the code where they are called from (unless the startcoroutine call is yielded within another coroutine), coroutines only delay the code within the coroutine

[winged ridge]

I stand corrected, but in general a coroutine with your code you want to delay within is a good way to go

[slender nymph]

What I personally like to do is have a static coroutine method on a utility class that takes an action and a delay parameter, waits for the delay then invokes the action like this:

public static IEnumerator DelayAction(Action action, float delay)
{
  yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
  action?.Invoke();
}

Then it can be used anywhere provided a MonoBehaviour is used to start it like so:
StartCoroutine(Utils.DelayAction(() => Debug.Log("Delay completed"), 5f);

[winged ridge]

Ooh that I like

[molten vortex]

How could I smoothly zoom a camera in and out? I have this so far:

void ZoomCamera()
    {
        float zoom = zoomAction.ReadValue<float>();
        if (zoom != 0)
        {
            offset -= zoom *  zoomSpeed;
            offset = Mathf.Clamp(offset, 2, 100);

            float positionDelta = offset - currentPosition;
            
            
            
            // camera.transform.Translate(new Vector3(0, 0, -positionDelta));
            currentPosition += positionDelta;

            float velocity = 0f;

            camera.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0, 0,
                Mathf.SmoothDamp(camera.transform.localPosition.z, currentPosition, ref velocity, 0.2f));

        }

    }

But neither translate nor the smoothdamp does the trick, and the smooth damp gets rid of any direction too, making it always zoom the same direction.

Hi all, weird question, and I have no idea which channel to put this but I've made a custom terrain tool and I'm having trouble with it. when I apply a lot of add height to terrain as I've done here, strange ridges appear to form. Even though I'm simply raising each height map point by a generic value, relative to its distance to the tools selection point. Anyone know what might be going on? also if anyone has some resources they could point me to for a terrain smoothing algorithm I'd greatly appreciate it.

[winged ridge]

so stupid question...Are they actual physical ridges or is it an illusion caused by the grid..

it could also be brush settings

[olive lintel]

its visible both with and without the grid mode on...

thats why I showed 2 screenshots

[winged ridge]

okay, just checking because that many lines starts playing with my vision sadly... but it could be a brush settings issue where the hardness of the brush is affecting the height its raised to and leaving behind clear borders

[olive lintel]

whats hardness of the brush mean?

you mean the strength curve for the brush?

this occurs mid way through the brush while it interpolates between strengths

I tried increasing the resolution of it 2x over but it hasn't fixed it

its most noticable in corners

[winged ridge]

Ill have a look at what Unity calls it, but generally a brush has a feather at the end so it doesnt offer a solid cut, the brush patterns you see have different shapes, one of them is a solid circle, that has no feathering, as an example

[olive lintel]

this isn't unity terrain tools this is something I wrote in c sharp thats why I'm asking

[native orbit]

Am I able to get help here?

[olive lintel]

like if someone else has built something like this and ran into this issue

[olive lintel]

ya just ask a question, preferably in whatever channel is most appropriate for it but theres no pressure

[winged ridge]

oh i thought it terrain tool issue, could be an issue with the calculations between the tris

[winged ridge]

Unity Help, sure, just check UnityLearn for a basis, it may already have been covered

[olive lintel]

it looks fine from a fractal perlin map tho, even with extreme differences in height

[native orbit]

Okay, so I recently bought a .blend model and the textures and rigging on it is messed up. I believe the rigging needs to be fixed on blender but the textures is a UDIM and I dont know how to bring those multiple textures onto one piece of the model

[winged ridge]

it is looking almost like a Sin wave affect in the ground, whether that helps any, hard to say without code

[native orbit]

I bought it to upload it on VRChat if any of you's are known with that platform

[olive lintel]

honestly I have no idea what to do about that I have barely any experience with blender 😅 I think if you tried the #🔀┃art-asset-workflow channel you'd have more success with the folks in there

or #🏃┃animation

[shy sinew]

I've been impossibly stuck for so long on trying to get a capsule to move in 3d space XD

[opaque burrow]

We are the best rubber ducks sometimes 🙃

[magic rapids]

Problem:
In my 2D game, I need my player to move along in sync with the camera. The camera scrolls to the right using SmoothDamp, and writing to transform.position, so putting the player as the camera's child won't work, it'll break the rigidbody physics (I tried that).
So, in this code, I'm trying to move the player to the right by getting the currentVelocity which is used in the camera's script, in the SmoothDamp thing. I'm writing that to rb.linearVelocity, and it works fine for the horizontal movement, but the vertical movement doesn't work so well. The player goes way up, very fast.
I know for sure that it's not because of the gravity function, nor the jumping, I tried commenting them out to see if they're causing the issue.
I think the issue is that I'm adding rb.linearVelocityY in Scroll() into the equation, which makes it build up in FixedUpdate and go very high very quickly. But then I'm not sure why the same thing but with the horizontal movement works well.

Guys, is it good practice to keep all variables of an object that may affect the player controller in a single script as a list of variables (not a scriptable object, but monobehavior), where the object might reference said script and the player controller can access it?

For example, there would be a common WeaponVars script that holds variables like isAiming or isCharging, which any weapon accesses, but the player can also check for these variables via a property

[hexed terrace]

WeaponVars should really (probably) be a scriptable object. It's just easier to manage data. Every time you want a new weapon and to tweak values, no need to load a scene or anything.

But you still need to use that data, which would be this class you're talking about.

[cunning rapids]

I'll give the concrete example I'm working on rigth now

I have a weapon swap system that swaps between different weapons in a list

Said script has a property to check for the MonoBehavior script WeaponVars

The player controller references the WeaponSwitch script and then uses the property to check for specific states of certain weapons

Etc.

Idk how I can have the same effect with an SO

[midnight plover]

You can think of it like your runtime monobehaviour is the handler that serves the data to whoever needs it, but the data itself should be separated and managable for example through SOs. You can still have a list of SOs in your inspector or load all weapons from a folder or addressable system or what not

[polar dust]

WeaponVars could just be its own class, if its only holding data for the Weapon : MonoBehavior

[cunning rapids]

public class WeaponVars : 

What do I put after the colon?

[polar dust]

you dont need to put anything there

[cunning rapids]

Ah, so just a regular class

And then I couple the Weapon Script to this WeaponVars class?

[polar dust]

It depends if youre making it a scriptable object or not, if you are then WeaponVars would be the SO and then you make a variation of that object with the data inside it

[cunning rapids]

If WeaponVars is an SO, then how can I access said data of the current, particular weapon I'm holding via the player controller?

I can also hold general, shared data in an SO, but I specifically mean variables that affect the player controller

For example, when charging up a railgun, I want it to slow down the player

[balmy vortex]

hey so like how do you get the position of another object in unity?

[cunning rapids]

So I'm using the WeaponVars class specifically to check if the current weapon that's active with this component is charging up

[cunning rapids]

public Transform otherObject;

Debug.Log(otherObject.position);

You assign the other object in the inspector and then it prints its position in the console

[keen dew]

You posted code yesterday (#💻┃code-beginner message) where you get the positions of objects (both the object that has the script and another object) so how have you unlearned that in less than a day

[cunning rapids]

If you want the general reference you just use

otherObject.position

Or if it's the current game object, just

transform.position

[hexed terrace]

The same way you access any property, field, var, from another class
public float ClipSize => weaponSO.clipSize;

[hexed terrace]

otherObject is already of type Transform you don't need .transform you're doing transform.transform.position

otherObject.position will print out the position of the assigned object

[weak cedar]

How do I horizontally stretch objects under a vertical layout group

[grand snow]

enable force expand width?

or use layout element with flexible width larger than 0

[weak cedar]

This doesnt work

[grand snow]

the layout group has to be controlling width too

then flexible/preferred/min sizing works

[lusty star]

just wanted to share that as i keep learning i keep understanding that i still know nothing what the hell is a constructor 😭

[weak cedar]

public MyClass(int height)
{
playerHeight = height;
}

[lusty star]

like i thought when i learnt about playerprefs & like inheritence OOP and like was "yeah im good now" stuff keeps popping out :(

[weak cedar]

For example this is a constructor

[weak cedar]

I think I’m getting somewhere with this

[winged ridge]

Child control width, child control height on the layer group options.

[lusty star]

yeah i know how they look but lets say
public MyClass(Script script)
{
this.script = script;
}

why does "this" changes the script from not being a parameter

[weak cedar]

With “this”, you are referring to the script in MyClass

[winged ridge]

this. Says this particular object the script is attached to, it's technically defunct.. unless you write a variable with identical name, in which case this. Can differentiate between them

[weak cedar]

If that confuses you just name parameter _script and write “script = _script;”

[lusty star]

ohhh so like calling the variable from MyClass and not the parameter in the constructor?

[weak cedar]

Yea

[lusty star]

yes yes there is a Script script var

[winged ridge]

This site helps a lot

https://www.w3schools.com/

[lusty star]

thank you im last confused now but i think i need to continue the state machine tutorial to understand more

[lusty star]

ohhh yeah this one! i learnt html there some years ago great site

[winged ridge]

private int x = 1;
public int Example(int x)
{
return this.x = x;
}

If you call the method Example() with the int value 7 so Example(7) it would make the prior int of 1 become the 7

Very rough example done quick on phone

[weak cedar]

You mean 1?

Rough on phone

[winged ridge]

Lol yes corrected it when I saw it

[weak cedar]

It seems ok now, but my input fields are instantly crashed

0 height

[winged ridge]

You can make the input fields have a component that overrides the layout group I'd have to double check it's name

[midnight plover]

LayoutElement its called

[winged ridge]

Thank you, saved me loading up my laptop

[lusty star]

OHHH alright understood now! now i know the "this" part

[winged ridge]

generally not needed... Avoid naming variables identically

It's a left over from an old version where it was needed

[lusty star]

yeah the tutorial pulled that and i was like "confusing but sure go ahead"

[weak cedar]

Ok I checked everything but “Control child size - height” works now somehow

[lusty star]

lemme actually type what the tutorial has given me so far

    public EntityState(StateMachine stateMachine)
    {
        this.stateMachine = stateMachine;
    }```

Will we need paid hosting services to make our Unity game online multiplayer?

Can we host our Unity game globally?

[keen dew]

Most multiplayer services have a free tier that's good enough for 99%+ projects

[cunning rapids]

This isnt from one class to another

This is from

Player controller --> weapon switch script --> current weapon stats

[midnight plover]

And what is switch script and weapon stats? Just another type of class, isnt it?

[cunning rapids]

Yes, but the switch script accesses the weapon stats as a property in which the player controller access it

Idk how the weapon switch script can access the SO that the current weapon is using

[winged ridge]

From that code it is saying that ClipSize is set as the variable data it got from weaponSO.clipsize

[cunning rapids]

It's an example, not my actual setup

I'll send it

[winged ridge]

What are you wanting it to do

[cunning rapids]

Here is the weapon stats mono script

Applied to the weapon

[winged ridge]

Okay so in the sniper hitscan data scriptable object is the variable you want public? If so just do data.clipSize

[cunning rapids]

No, give me a sec

Switch weapon property access (for the current weapon):

  public WeaponVars currentWeapon
  {
      get
      {
          if (weapons == null || weapons.Count == 0) return null;
          var weapon = weapons[selectedWeapon];
          return weapon != null ? weapon.GetComponent<WeaponVars>() : null;
      }
  }

[Header("Weapons")]
public SwitchWeapons activeWeapon;

In the Player controller, accessing the current weapon stats

I hope this makes sense

It works, but I really doubt this is the cleanest implementation

[cunning rapids]

Example usage of the property being referenced:

            var weapon = activeWeapon.currentWeapon;
            if (weapon != null && weapon.releasedButton && weapon.isCharging)
            { 
                SlowDown(0.3f);
            }

[midnight plover]

Yeh its a weird mix of Sniper SOs but weapon vars is a monobehaviour but written like a class without any functionality. Why not make the vars SOs too and just drag them in your sniper script?

[cunning rapids]

Because the weaponswap script would have to access the SO the current weapon is using, then turn it into a property, then the player controller has to access that property

And I have no idea how to do that

I'll try to, see where it gets me

[midnight plover]

You access it like any other script. Instead of WeaponVars being Monobeavhiour, you just make a scriptbale object as type, thats it. Create an asset, drag drop it there

[cunning rapids]

Oh wait you can do that?

I thought you can only drag and drop if it was mono

Into the inspector, that is

As a component

[midnight plover]

You can drag drop anything in the inspector, no matter the class type as long as your reference field is declared as the correct type

Just to be aware of the issue with SOs. In edit mode, if you change something on the SO via script, lets say, ammunition or something, it will persist. But if you change runtime values in a build on those SOs, they get reset when restarting your game to their exported values from editor

[cunning rapids]

That simplifies everything lol. Thank you

[cunning rapids]

Will keep that noted

[sour fulcrum]

(just like any asset eg. material, prefab etc.)

[cunning rapids]

Uhh

[cunning rapids]

Didn't know it would take so much real estate, mb

[cunning rapids]

This is the switch weapons script btw

[midnight plover]

Ah, so the problem now is, that you have a single class for sniper which inherits from nothing.

[fleet coral]

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m completely new to C# and Unity, and I’d really like to learn how to make a simple block move around and look around, like a basic player controller. Does anyone have any good beginner-friendly links or resources to help me get started? Thanks a lot! 🙏

[keen dew]

Whichever you want 🤷 There are resources linked in #1392142304772358215 message and

[midnight plover]

You need to create some kind of parent class that all your custom weapons inherit from, if you need single monobehaviours for every weapon because of different behaviour/animation etc. so you woul dhave a base class Weapon with a field weaponVars which you could access anytime no matter the child class

I am just wondering, where does hitscandata come from?

HitscanData seems to be a type but weaponvars is also its own type?

[cunning rapids]

I have weapons

Each weapon (depending on their type, so, snipers, shotguns, rockets, etc.) have their own script

Some properties of weapons in question affect player movement directly (or at least, I want them to)

I use the swtich weapons script to swap between different weapons and I want the player controller to reference aforementioned properties that affect it

[cunning rapids]

I deleted weaponvars, hitscandata is an SO

[cunning rapids]

That's what I was trying to do with the WeaponVars mono script

[midnight plover]

Than you need something those weapons share like an interface or parent class you can inherit from. As an example

public class Weapon:MonoBehaviour
{
  public HitScanData hitScanData;
}
public class Sniper:Weapon
{
  //all your other values and methods
}

[cunning rapids]

Ah, so you couple the scripts basically

[midnight plover]

You inherit

[cunning rapids]

Makes sense

[cunning rapids]

Yeah, yeah, that''s what I meant lol

I'll do that rn, thanks

[midnight plover]

yw 🙂

[cunning rapids]

And any new weapon behavior I can just add another class?

[winged ridge]

There's a few ways you could do that, how many weapon types do you want

[midnight plover]

If you really need too. Depends on your weapons tbh.

[cunning rapids]

If there are many weapons I can just make a new script so it doesn't get too convoluted I'm guessing?

[midnight plover]

You could have another category of Firearms, Swords and whatever. This really depeonds on your game design

[cunning rapids]

4 weapon types but some special effects for certain ones

[cunning rapids]

That inherits the primary class, obv

[midnight plover]

The more they share, the easier it gets for you to develop and expand

[winged ridge]

So put the types in an enum and a switch case, with each case having a method.. OR do a weapon class and then in that class Weapon sniper = new Weapon(){ edit variables here}

[midnight plover]

You should really write down, what your types are, what they share and what not, what you need your other objects to rely on those weapons and so on. try not to develop while conceptualizing your game, because that can easily run into a big pile of spaghetti code 😉

[cunning rapids]

Why can't I modify inhereted/child classes in the inspector?

[timber tide]

Whatcha mean? If you extended Weapon then use the correct component.

[grand snow]

Should there be some field showing here? is it serializable?

[frosty hound]

You can't have two monobehaviours in a single script. Make two.

[hexed terrace]

also, setup your visual studio correctly

It isn't a mono, it's an inheritence

[frosty hound]

Okay 🤷‍♂️

[grand snow]

(hint: it is)

[cunning rapids]

It is. FOr some reason vs is buggy as hell

[hexed terrace]

it inherits from a monobehaviour... making it ... a... monobehaviour

[cunning rapids]

But then it doesn't modify anything in Weapon which are the properties I'm trying to reference

[frosty hound]

You put the DefaultSniper component on your object, and you modify the values on that component, which will include anything in its own class and any in the inherited classes.

Hi, in this code, I did a server check, yet the code still gives me a "NotServerException: Only server can change visibility error". How is that possible?
public void ChangeVisibility(List<ulong> clientsVisible)
{
if (!IsServer){ return; }
List<ulong> aliveClients = PlayerManager.Instance.GetAliveClients();
foreach (ulong client in aliveClients)
{
NetworkObject playerNetObj = PlayerManager.Instance.GetPlayer(client).gameObject.GetComponent<NetworkObject>();

        if (!clientsVisible.Contains(client))
        {
            playerNetObj.NetworkHide(OwnerClientId);
        }
        else
        {
            playerNetObj.NetworkShow(OwnerClientId);
        }
    }
}

Nah, I was trying to trigger the bot to give you instructions but failed miserably lmao

[cunning rapids]

I get that. Please scroll up for context. I need a weapon swap script to specifically reference Weapon as a property so that my player controller can reference said property

[half lantern]

lol

[hexed terrace]

I think the new one requires the cmd to be in its own msg

[hexed terrace]

you can put any class that inherits from Weapon in the Weapon slot. Everything Osteel is telling you is correct, you're just not understanding and refusing to listen

[frosty hound]

I don't understand the context. You can have a Weapon HeldWeapon property on your Player which can be any object that has a component which has or inherits from Weapon

You can even have a list of them that you can switch between.

[half lantern]

Does this website work? Can you see the code? https://paste.mod.gg/cjswbvyucuyb/0

so does anybody know why its giving me a notserverexception when im checking for server

its running on the host

[cunning rapids]

I don't mean to sound condescending if I come off this way. Please understand that if I give a question that doesn't make particular sense it's probably because I didn't understand a part of the message without realizing it

[cunning rapids]

I have a seperate mono script to handle that as I thought putting weapon swapping in the player controller was clunky

[hexed terrace]

Make a class in its own file called Weapon.cs - public class Weapon : MonoBehaviour
Make another class in its own file called DefaultSniper.cs - public class DefaultSniper : Weapon

Declare on your player(?) public Weapon currentWeapon;

Either of these two classes can be assigned to currentWeapon

[frosty hound]

Sure, you can have a weapon handler component on the player that deals solely with that. It can have the properties or list of weapons in the player's inventory.

[stiff birch]

I might be mistaken, but the way I understand your error is playerNetObj.NetworkHide()is not a legal move. It's like asking the player object to change its own visibility where the server is expected to do it.

[half lantern]

its hiding a player object of a different player from the owner of the script

[half lantern]

why do you think its not legal

[stiff birch]

Well, the exception itself is called "NotServerException" so I'm assuming you're trying to make on operation from an object that isn't a server ^^'

[half lantern]

dw guys i just solved it, it was because I forgot to skip the loop when the client variable was equal to the OwnerClientId, so it was trying to hide the player object from the player who owned it i think

idk why that gave not server exception tho

[cunning rapids]

Ah, I'm very sorry

I see my mistake

I accidentally included Weapon in the inspector of the sniper when I should've just pu DefaultSniper, hence the confusion. Sorry for the rookie mistakes. It works perfectly now

[rough sluice]

Can I use ngrok for testing for this time?

[cunning rapids]

On a side note, is it better I put the weapon switch script in the player component or a game object that holds the weapon? Obviously it makes no difference but what would be easier to work with, long term?

[frosty hound]

Personally, I would have a PlayerController_Weapon component on the root Player object where the main brain PlayerController is.

But that's entirely up to how you want to organize things.

[cunning rapids]

Would that be an inheritence of the player controller that handles weapon switching?

[frosty hound]

Nope, just a component that the PlayerController holds a reference to.

When I've done complex controllers, I would have

PlayerController
PlayerController_MoveComponent
PlayerController_AnimateComponent
PlayerController_InventoryComponent
...etc.

They would just sit on the same root, and handle their logic. However, anything external only interacted with the PlayerController, which decided if things would be passed to those relative components for handling.

[cunning rapids]

I see.

Is my proposition also a good idea, though? In retrospect, it seems natural to tell the player "hold this weapon, and slow down"

Would there be any advantage of it being an inherited class over mono?

[frosty hound]

Putting the weapon handling logic on a separate object entirely that is on your player is fine, as long as the player can check it for whatever it needs such as if the currently held weapon is charging so that it can factor that into its calculated velocity this frame.

[cunning rapids]

Just to clarify, "on your player" means inherited?

[hexed terrace]

"on your" generally means on the game object, not code

[cunning rapids]

Ah, I see

[cunning rapids]

For such a setup, is this the cleanest way to do it?

[shell sorrel]

yeah i greatly prefer this approach to a bunch of inheritance or massive un focused classes

[cunning rapids]

I feel like having a monolithic Weapon class can get convoluted quite quickly the more weapons I add

[shell sorrel]

things like weapons i like to reference via a interface types, and keep functionality that is possibly shared between many weapons as just regular objects each weapon can have there own instance of

Does anyone have any good references or best/good practice examples?

[umbral bough]

Hey, I am looking for the best approach when it comes to "storing" settings for a monobehaviour.
I basically wanna be able to have a field in my class or scriptable object that would hold these and allow editing in the inspector, just like if you had the component attached to the object, and then copy those settings to the actual component when needed.
To give a bit more context, I am working on an audio manager and want to support Steam Audio.
The Steam Audio Source component is quite large and has a custom inspector, duplicating the entire thing just to add the [Serializable] attribute on top of that duplicate class seems very unreasonable, so I was wondering if somebody has a better suggestion for me.
Please @ me and thanks in advance!

[timber tide]

Actually, it may be creating a new material when you try to access it here. Maybe spriterender.sharedmaterial could work around that problem, but may just be better comparing against a flag instead of the material references.

[queen adder]

My player controller only uses Rigidbody.addForce in the Update() function and the physics system is set to run per frame. For some reason, moving makes the screen look very choppy. If I just rotate the camera it's fine.

https://pastebin.com/QyfgcYxx

framerate is also locked at 165fps (monitor refresh) so I don't think that's the issue

[timber tide]

Sounds like you should just use scriptable objects, no?

[umbral bough]

I am already using a scriptable object, I am just not sure how that would solve my issue.
I am looking to basically be able to just edit all the SteamAudioSource settings within that scriptable object, like if you literally attached that component to the SO but not quite, it's supposed to be a field in that SO.
I am basically trying to get the component seen in the picture, or at least all its contents, on that SO.

[timber tide]

So you basically just want this mono here to become a SO of data?

[umbral bough]

Not necessarily a SO, preferably just a [Serializable] class that I can use in any other MB/SO.

[timber tide]

If you just want the fields I'd open the class and copy paste it onto a SO class, and if you want some of that serialized data that's set then open up unity's yaml and copy it over

[umbral bough]

Yes, that's what I initially did, but it'd also require me to copy the custom inspector for that component, as well as to update the class each time Steam Audio is updated.
I hope you can see why that's not very maintainable and why I'm looking for a better solution.

[timber tide]

Idk, only thing I can think of is just edit the steam audio source class to accept the SOs and just wiring it back together

[umbral bough]

ye, sadly there doesn't seem to be a solution to what I'm looking for :/

guess I'll just go the copy paste route, thanks either way

public void Setup(List<Building_JSON> oldBuildings) { print(oldBuildings.Count); allBuildings.Clear(); print(oldBuildings.Count); }
How is it possible that oldBuildings returns 1, after clearing an unrelated list its back to 0

[sour fulcrum]

is that an unrelated list

[jaunty coyote]

yes, so how is it possible that that happens

i cant wrap my head araund it

[sour fulcrum]

are you sure its an unrelated list

[jaunty coyote]

100%, just added it

as you can see is local

it would get referenced later on, passed to functions but as it is right now i cant do that

the setup gets called only once, so no way to be overriden

[sour fulcrum]

i might be missing something but the only way i can see that code printing 1 then 0 is if allBuildings and oldBuildings are both the same list

[polar acorn]

They're probably the same list

[jaunty coyote]

they are the same type but not the same list

[naive pawn]

that.. doesn't mean anything though

[polar acorn]

Where do you call Setup? What do you pass to it?

[naive pawn]

try logging oldBuildings == allBuildings, then we'll know for sure if they're really unrelated

[polar acorn]

Lists are reference types. If you pass allBuildings to this function, then both allBuildings and oldBuildings refer to the same list

[jaunty coyote]

oh damn, it looks like it sets it to true

[polar acorn]

So, both variables refer to the same list

[jaunty coyote]

Looks like it

[naive pawn]

(it doesn't set anything btw, it evaluates to/results in/yields true)

[jaunty coyote]

ooh, i thod that means they are the same thing

so currently we dont know much?

[naive pawn]

it does mean that, it just isn't "setting" anything

"sets it to true" means = true, an assignment

[naive pawn]

we currently know that they are, in fact, the same list

[jaunty coyote]

which they shouldnt be

i think

[naive pawn]

then work backwards - check the thing that's calling Setup, see what it's passing in

[jaunty coyote]

found the solution

allBuildings = new List<Building_JSON>(); print(oldBuildings.Count); foreach (Transform t in buildingHolder) { Destroy(t.gameObject); }

looks like if i just unbind the allbuildings list from the oldbuildings list, it works

thanks for your time, have nice rest of the day

[naive pawn]

(what part of it didn't work before?)

like, having them be the same list isn't really an issue tbh

[urban sluice]

Is using netcode for entities a good idea for an fps game with max like 10 players at once? I am not really worried about performance since the game is really small scale and graphically undemanding, but I am considering netcode for entities because of the premade prediction for it and unity also recommends it. Netcode for entities also seems really challenging, even though I have coded for around a year on unity so I am a bit scared, do I have reason to be? Would making a prediction system for game objects be easier and simpler to maintain?

[bleak hull]

i wish i knew

[slender nymph]

#1390346492019212368
also note that Netcode for Entities means you will be using the entities/DOTs workflow rather than the standard gameobjects workflow. There is Netcode for GameObjects though if you'd prefer to use the standard gameobject workflow

Hello guys! Soooo I was using the "old" Input System (using like "Input.GetKey(Keycode)" and so) and in the same script I've created the "jump" action when you press the jump key and "cancel jump" when you realease the jump key when you're jumping. Then yesterday I wanted to make the android port to the game and so I decided to switch to the new input system but when I tried the jump method it didn't work, the high was like the double as before and didn't even recognize the key when pressed or realeased, though sometimes it acted like normal, its very inconsintent.

Is there a way to code an animation to 50% transparency? I looked at the animation properties and the button is disabled.

Would like to keyframe it but seems it's not allowed

[shell sorrel]

you can key frame the color of a sprite

can keyframe its transparency that way via the alpha channel of color in code alpha is done the same way

[hexed nymph]

the object is inside a parent that already has a animator?

I'll switch to unity-talk since we're on the animator

it's pretty self explanatory, you cannot assign to Vector2.up. you can only use its value

it is. not only is it just copying a brackeys tutorial literally line for line, but it also includes that infamous deltaTime mistake that has caused countless indie games to have stuttery camera controls

also pretty much 100% of these "X in Y minutes!" videos is garbage because they don't typically bother to teach why you would do something a specific way, they just tell you how to do something and expect that to actually teach anything other than reliance upon tutorials

[polar acorn]

If a tutorial advertises itself based on its brevity rather than it's completeness, that means its target audience is people who are looking for a quick fix without actually learning anything, and therefore they don't actually need to ensure the video is correct because those aren't the types of people to ever actually implement anything.

Basically, a tutorial saying "In X Minutes" is the youtube equivalent of bright primary colors on a jungle frog.

that would be in vs code's settings, so not really unity related. but also the latter is the standard for the language

Eh i've put 4k hours into this project, not gonna change formatting now

[mild furnace]

Is that part of omnisharp settings?

this is obnoxious, i cant work in larger methods without things rearranging

I think its in the json yes, forgot the exact property but I'm sure you can searchh it
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fundamentals/code-analysis/style-rules/csharp-formatting-options

I use Rider so it wont be exactly the same as VScode, but you want to look in the VSCode settings for something like this saying code style, and that will have a C# option.

No luck, attempted to add an omnisharp.json based on this solution but its still doing the same https://drlongnecker.com/blog/2018/11/vscode-omnisharp-kr-formatting/

[molten vortex]

How can I create a script that is always running but isnt tied to a specific object? I want to detect mouse clicks to select objects in the scene but I don't know how to activate such a script

[slender nymph]

unless you plan to leverage the EventSystem manually by using it to raycast into the scene each time the mouse is clicked, you would be better off creating a component that implements the relevant event system interfaces (such as IPointerDownHandler for detecting a click on an object) and put that component on the objects you want to be clickable

[molten vortex]

could i have a global variable somehow to store what object was last selected then?

[slender nymph]

i mean, sure. but that sounds like it may not be all that helpful. of course you need to actually explain the end goal of all this in order to determine the best course of action

[molten vortex]

I want something kind of like the sims where you select a sim, or an object, then have options or can send it somewhere

[rocky canyon]

not sure why not having a gameobject that tracks that in ur scene at all times..
like a "Manager" type script.. could give it the reference and even have it DDOL so it presists from scene to scene

[cosmic dagger]

Sounds like an event handler (singleton) script for mouse events . . .

[buoyant haven]

Hey yall. How can I load all the addressables with one label at once in Unity 6? There was a method Addressables.LoadAssetAsync<GameObject>("Label", null, true); and now LoadAssetAsync only takes one argument

[slender nymph]

hint: check the docs

you may also find that your assumption of using LoadAssetAsync to load more than one asset in the past was incorrect

[buoyant haven]

Thanks. I am looking at docs. I am new to all this. In "Load multiple assets" section there's a code:

            keys,
            addressable =>
            {
                //Gets called for every loaded asset
                Instantiate<GameObject>(addressable,
                    new Vector3(x++ * 2.0f, 0, z * 2.0f),
                    Quaternion.identity,
                    transform);

                if (x > 9)

[molten vortex]

When using a cinemachine follow camera set to orbital follow, how can I change the input scheme to rotate the camera? All I want to do it make it so it only rotates when right mouse is held but eveyrthig I've found online is outdated

[timber tide]

Figure out which property rotates it in the inspector then find how to call it in your script

Also #🎥┃cinemachine

[dark tapir]

I Have a Question How can I force rotation of an object in a positive coordinate? And do not reverse the negative so that it is 0 to 360 and then return to 0

[quartz jay]

Does anyone know how to fix positioning with an object when the scaling on an object is weird?

For example I scaled my models arm size and the script that uses my IK target to go on the controller is wonky when I scale it.

I am wondering how I can fix this issue?

[wintry quarry]

"force rotation on a positive coordinate" what does that mean?

[wintry quarry]

It would depend on how you're doing Ik, how your hierarchy is set up, and how your script works.

[dark tapir]

In the coordination Y

This Is My Code

using UnityEngine;

public class DiaNocheLatitud : MonoBehaviour
{
[Header("Velocidad de la Rotación del Sol (día)")]
public float Ve = 10f;

[Header("Objetos de Referencia de Latitud")]
public GameObject Jugador;
public GameObject Latitud50;
public GameObject Latitud26;

[Header("Objetos de la Luz Solar")]
public Transform PivoteSol;
public Transform LuzSolar;

private float currentAngle = 0f; 
public float AnguloForzado { get; private set; }

void Start()
{
    InvokeRepeating(nameof(Ac), 0f, 0.2f);
}

void Update()
{
    if (LuzSolar == null) return;
    currentAngle += Ve * Time.deltaTime;
    if (currentAngle >= 360f) currentAngle -= 360f;
    LuzSolar.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(0f, currentAngle, 0f);
    AnguloForzado = (LuzSolar.localEulerAngles.y + 360f) % 360f;

    //opcional: debug
    Debug.Log($"Ángulo leído del transform (forzado 0-360) = {AnguloForzado}");
}

void Ac()
{
    if (Jugador == null || Latitud50 == null || Latitud26 == null || PivoteSol == null) return;

    float distancia50 = Vector3.Distance(Jugador.transform.position, Latitud50.transform.position);
    float distancia26 = Vector3.Distance(Jugador.transform.position, Latitud26.transform.position);
    float distanciaTotal = Vector3.Distance(Latitud50.transform.position, Latitud26.transform.position);
    float factor = distancia50 / distanciaTotal;

    float latitud = Mathf.Lerp(73f, 49.5f, factor);
    PivoteSol.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(latitud, 0f, 0f);
}

}

[dark tapir]

The script logic is that I am looking for creating a day and night cycle originally but that also keep in mind latitude that can be used but uses two reference objects because in a plane, a reference object is needed and what I am looking for is forcing is that the object rotates in positive as long as you try again in multiple ways and I did not find anything

[fast heron]

(sorry don't know if my last message sent)

is there a preferred way to do a "deep copy" of an object in unity? say I had a class representing a tetris piece like so:

public class NewPiece
{
    public Tetromino Tetromino;
    public Tile Tile;
    public Vector3Int Position;

    public Vector2Int[] Cells;
    public Vector2Int[,] WallKicks;

    public int RotationIndex = 0;

and i wanted to make a deep copy of it, i.e one that's a duplicate of the original but whose fields aren't just references to the original such that changes to the copy WON'T reflect in the original, how would I do that?

stuff on the internet says to serialize the object into json and then immediately deserialize it

that seems a bit hacky though, does unity have a built-in solution or something?

[rugged beacon]

is there any way to avoid k___backingfield while keeping the field auto property with json nutiltiy?

[cosmic dagger]

Use a copy constructor or the ICloneable interface . . .

[neat bay]

does anyone know a way I could create a special depth buffer that draws transparent object's depth, and increase their depth based on theri alpha?

in URP?

[midnight plover]

Sounds to me like you wanted to have one object cover multiple depths, which I assume is not working, as objects are sorted based on their entire objects position or custom render priority.

[neat bay]

yeah, I need it for blending transparency on a volumetric fog shader

is there a way to do it?

[midnight plover]

Shouldnt the volumetric shader already cover that?

[neat bay]

I'm raymarching the depth buffer and testing density along the way, but because transparents dont write to the depth buffer, the ray marches through the objects that are in the transparent queue

[obsidian sandal]

does GameObject.Find find child objects?

[teal viper]

A depth buffer is just a 2d texture. The value represents the depth of the pixel. You can't represent more than one pixels/positions in it. You'll need to render to a 3d texture or something like that.

Also this is not a beginner topic and belongs to #1390346776804069396

[teal viper]

It doesn't care about parent-children relationship.

[obsidian sandal]

how come it's telling me it's destroyed then

[neat bay]

why not? couldn't you just base the depth on the alpha transparency of an object at a pixel and add that to the existing depth buffers value?

[teal viper]

That would just change the depth of the pixel

[neat bay]

or render a seperate depth buffer that draws for only transparents and base the distance on the alpha for each pixel?

[neat bay]

the latter would be an ok solution then wouldn't it

[neat bay]

also sorry

ill do that next time

[teal viper]

You can do that, but it will only represent the closest transparent pixel.

[neat bay]

i dont really need anything more than one transparent object in front of another

and if i do id jsut use alpha clipping

[neat bay]

how would i go about achieving this though?

[teal viper]

You'll probably need a separate render pass(so it depends on the render pipeline) and render all your transparent objects into a render target.

[neat bay]

yeah i figured as much 😮‍💨

are there any other approaches? i just never bothered to learn the scriptable render pipeline tbh cause it was a little overwhelming

or is using the srp the only way to do this

[teal viper]

You can do it in any render pipeline. It's just gonna be different.

SRPs(urp/hdrp) mainly use render graph api for that now.
Builtin was mainly doing it via the shaderlab AFAIK.

[neat bay]

im using URP, but i just neverr bothered to learn how to make custom render passes & features

[neat bay]

render graph? is that similar to shader graph?

also does that mean learning the SRP is the only way to achieve creating this custom transparency depth buffer?

[teal viper]

No. It's mainly C# api. Though there is a debug view window that shows various info from graph.

[teal viper]

Basically yes.
You could probably render to a render texture with replacement shaders/materials, and use that as a texture instead, but I think there's gonna be a one-several frame lag. If you're fine with that, it might be possible without extra code.

[balmy vortex]

hey so like how do you check if an object/collider is touching anything?

[low goblet]

I'm still somewhat new to Unity, but I've been starting to find that Unity's object pool API isn't really enough for me. Is there much of a downside to creating my own objectpooling system?

[barren vapor]

Google is a very good source, yk.
https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-do-i-check-if-an-object-is-touching-another-object/125711/2

I have literally pasted your question in google

[neat bay]

you're right but youve taken like... the worst possible method of collission detection for your screenshot..

[neat bay]

look into OnTriggerEnter() and OnCollissionEnter() instead

[barren vapor]

Don't look at the result of the screenshot. It's AI. I pasted a link to a source

Was just showing that googling should be your first reflex

[neat bay]

ye thats fine, just saying @balmy vortex , definitely dont use this method

[balmy vortex]

    {
        // do stuff
    }

is this fine?

[barren vapor]

If you use 3d, yes

[grand snow]

all physics "messages" have a 2d version

[neat bay]

it depends what kind of collisions youre trying to detect, take a look at the difference between trigger colliders and nontrigger colliders but yes this is correct

[barren vapor]

Just in general, don't use AI also as first reflex.

if you don't know it -> google, no source or can't find it -> AI/asking others

[balmy vortex]

what am I supposed to put in the (collider) arguement in the function btw?

like obviously its for the collider of the object but how do I grab it to plug it into the function?

[grand snow]

no the arg is the collider it HIT

[neat bay]

"Collider" gives you the collision data of the gameobject you've hit

[polar dust]

Why isn't what Unity provides, good enough?

[sour fulcrum]

If google doesn’t have an answer ai certainly won’t lol

[grand snow]

all monobehaviours receive the message when a rigidbody on that same gameobject collided
all explained in the docs: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider.OnCollisionEnter.html

[barren vapor]

It does if you know how to work with AI

Just don't blindly copy-paste

Plus, basically everything already has been documented on google

[balmy vortex]

oh but what object it hit doesn't rly matter to me in this case, can I just remove the arguement entirely?

[sour fulcrum]

Just means your not looking through your search engine results well enough 😄

[grand snow]

No it needs to be there but you can just not use the argument

[barren vapor]

In that case, be smart and ask AI for sources. It searches for you.

[sour fulcrum]

No thanks I can search myself 😄

[balmy vortex]

why are we recommending AI to people again?

does anyone know why this doesn't work? the sphere is supposed to just stop moving when it touches something but clearly I messed something up

my code for context --> https://paste.mod.gg/pcdanxlqpsut/0

[low goblet]

was looking for something like a linked pool, couldn't find it in the docs but I got it figured out 👍

[late badger]

(collision other) instead of (collider other)

[balmy vortex]

still literally just doesn't work

[late badger]

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's cause the fireball doesn't have a rigidbody component, which it needs to detect collisions

[low goblet]

no rb, and you probably don't need 2 sphere colliders

hello,I'm trying to make bots for my game but they dont work properly, 1: they don't always hit the player, 2: animations don't work properly

https://paste.ofcode.org/etUFXAEBcq3AA8zv7Wuqgx

https://paste.ofcode.org/3bWC8ShZ3DiCazRwXUj52Wc

here are the 2 scripts managing everything

the Dieass() function is getting called in another script when the bot dies

[silver fern]

define properly

[lunar coral]

the Shoot() function doesn't always shoot at the player

[rich adder]

put some logs in there , figure out what gets actually called vs animator showing

[rain night]

can we import old swf assets in unity? (am trying to remake a game from 2011 lol)

[shell sorrel]

no

[rocky canyon]

arrrr!

[rain night]

will have to convert then oof

[shell sorrel]

even converting stuff it will not all be 1 for 1, since flash could do vector graphics stuff unity is not capable of

so would need to bitmap stuff or try and get it as svg and relie on unity vector graphics importer which is also nowhere near perfect since its a approxmiation what svg's can do using meshes, uvs and textures

[elder hearth]

I have 2(really stupid for my skill level) questions:
**1. **How do scripts communicate via raycast. Like if A shoots a ray and it hits a script called B what method do i call??
**2. ** How do i make it so a text shows up over an object but its different for each objectand it stays there for as long as its in a certain area of the screen? <- Ig you could count this as a sub question of 1

[rain night]

I found a free flash decompiler. if I convert assets to some frame based animation of pngs will that work?

[shell sorrel]

when you hit a object with a racyast you hit its collider then you can use GetComponent to get a other component on that object

[rain night]

can I convert them in .gaf?

[shell sorrel]

no clue what that is, i have not touched flash stuff since the early 00's

[rain night]

I was thinking to build my childhood game for old times sake. oof

[rocky canyon]

could rebuild it without needing to rip anything from antique fileformats

[elder hearth]

huh, i built a whole as messaging system between objs and i could of just done this...

[shell sorrel]

just remake the assets in your own style

[lunar coral]

everything works, there are no errors, the problem is probably with the logic of the code but I can't find it

[rocky canyon]

yup, coulda put a script on each one (the same script w/ a variable u change per each) like a description
ur raycast script would grab that script access its variable and display it somewhere

[lunar coral]

the problem is that he hits the player 15% of the time

[rain night]

am beginner idk ;-;

[shell sorrel]

its the standard way to do it, also lets you fetch components via interface types or sub types as well to have a more generic way to do things

[rocky canyon]

we all were at some point.

[rain night]

guess u are right

I do have some img assets tho. Will try to make it work

[shell sorrel]

would be impossible to extract the logic anyways

[rain night]

its basically a pokemon type game

[shell sorrel]

since even if you could get the as2/3 code out non of it would be translatable in any meaningful way

[rain night]

so I have to comeup with logics myself

[silver fern]

you're supposed to log your variables to make sure everything has the values its supposed to have

[grand snow]

you use a debugger to DEBUG logic and inspect values

printing to the console is a very small part of debugging and often not enough

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/Manual/managed-code-debugging.html

[lunar coral]

all the variables are assigned and correct

the problem is with this wait

[silver fern]

if your bot keeps missing surely the aim direction variables cant be right?

[shell sorrel]

or there is a factor they are not considering

[lunar coral]

yea so the problem is with the logic of the code

Vector3 aimDirection = (playerBox.position - firePoint.position).normalized;
        firePoint.LookAt(playerBox.position);
        float radius = 0.6f;

        // raycast + detection
        if (Physics.SphereCast(firePoint.transform.position, radius,  aimDirection, out rayHit, whatIsPlayer))
        {
            if (rayHit.collider.CompareTag("hitbox"))
            {
                rayHit.collider.GetComponent<PlayerHealth>().TakeDamage(damage);
                df.ShowDamage();

            }
```csharp

[silver fern]

is firepoint right? I don't see where you set that

[lunar coral]

the playerBox is the transform of the collider the bot has to hit

[lunar coral]

in the variables upside

yea the variables are all correct

[silver fern]

you could also draw a debug ray to make sure the raycast is going in the right direction

[lunar coral]

already did

[shell sorrel]

is it hitting something else first such as the object that is emitting the cast

[lunar coral]

and it's going in the right direction

[silver fern]

ah it could be hitting the bots own hitbox

[lunar coral]

like the gun?

or another collider

[shell sorrel]

anything, just log of its hitting and if it is see what its hitting

[lunar coral]

k I'll do that

[grand snow]

you sound like you dont want to fix i)

[silver fern]

he seems to be trying

[grand snow]

anyway I gave my suggestion (debugger)

best way to detect silly mistakes and inspect what happens

[shell sorrel]

also firePoint, is that like your gun or something?

[lunar coral]

it says it's hitting the ground

but sometimes it hits the player

[silver fern]

there must be ground in the way

[lunar coral]

I want, I'm on it since a long time

[shell sorrel]

0.6f is a pretty big radius

[grand snow]

Start with logs, then move onto a debugger if you still cannot figure out whats happening

[lunar coral]

yes

[lunar coral]

I've already logged almost everything, everything works, the only problem is it's hitting the ground

and I'm actually building my game in devlopment build as u suggested me

with script debugging options enabled

[shell sorrel]

figure out why, if its hitting ground the radius of hte sphere cast is too big or you are angled down

or there is something you do not see that is ground its hitting

[lunar coral]

you think it's the problem?

[shell sorrel]

why are you asking me

its your game, test things

figure out if thats the issue, or like debug draw spheres along the path or something

[grand snow]

You can use a debugger in editor or a dev build

[lunar coral]

yeaa im sorry, the thing is I was using raycast and I asked chatgpt, he told me the ray might be too small so I had to test with a big spherecast

[silver fern]

never trust the ai

[lunar coral]

yea, it's so ass for unity

[silver fern]

it is for everything

[naive pawn]

it's fine for generating filler text tbh

[grand snow]

ray to small haha

[lunar coral]

but finding help isn't always easy

[naive pawn]

genai is the opposite of finding help

[silver fern]

but yeah ray too small makes zero sense

[shell sorrel]

think about your game and what you want to accomplish not waht AI is telling you

[lunar coral]

k bro ty for your help

[shell sorrel]

there are many reasons to use ray, or reasons to use sphere cast it depends on what you are trying to accomplish

[lunar coral]

that's what I always do, but I use ai to try to learn things or understand things I don't, I don't trust it

[shell sorrel]

but also think about things like how tall is a bot in your game and how tall is a player

[naive pawn]

you should stop with those too tbh

it's just a word randomizer trying to be convincing, rather than correct

[shell sorrel]

raidus 0.6 is a sphere with a 1.2m diameter which would easily clip the ground if shot by something the size of a human

[lunar coral]

lol

[polar acorn]

If you have to go fact check everything it tells you to do then why bother with the first step and instead just go learn it from the places you fact check with

[lunar coral]

how do you learn to do things u dont know then? if there are no yt tutorials

[silver fern]

ask on discord or search around the web

[polar acorn]

By breaking it down into smaller things that you can figure out how to do, and combining them

[naive pawn]

youtube is not the only resource. docs, forums, etc exist

[shell sorrel]

breaking it down into smaller problems, docs and experiments

[hexed terrace]

docs, web search, experimentation, etc

[naive pawn]

and also yeah, you generally don't look for full tutorials

you learn and understand simpler concepts and then combine them

[lunar coral]

okayyy

I just downloaded reddit, I hope it'll help me

I've heard it's a productive forum

[silver fern]

you did what

[naive pawn]

uhhh well i mean that's not wrong, but it's also not super friendly at times, so be aware of that lol

[lunar coral]

I made an account

in reddit

[naive pawn]

generally reading existing forum posts is sufficient

[silver fern]

well it wont hurt to ask surely

[naive pawn]

it just wastes your own time if it's already been asked

forums have search bars for a reason

[lunar coral]

u just like search on the web?

[naive pawn]

yeah

[lunar coral]

okay

[hexed terrace]

google searches generally bring up Reddit posts if there's something relevant on there already

[naive pawn]

do be aware that searching is also a skill in itself

[shell sorrel]

also break your problme down

don't search some broad huge thing, break it into the steps needed to do that

[naive pawn]

sometimes you gotta cast an incantation -site:reddit.com after:2018 before:2022

[lunar coral]

okayy thanks guys

[lunar coral]

I've just changed it to 0.05

it now hits "FPSPlayer" gameobject that's the parent of the hitbox

anyway I'll figure out how to do it dw

[naive pawn]

yeah so you aren't resetting the speed...

[sage wyvern]

how do i reset it?

[polar acorn]

What is supposed to be putting the speed back to what it was

[polar acorn]

The same way you changed it, but you put in the value you want

[naive pawn]

which you can't right now, because you just removed the original speed value

[sage wyvern]

then how do i make it that only if shift is pressed that the character will sprint

[naive pawn]

either you need an intermediate variable that you reassign, or you need to just choose between speed and sprint without assigning

[sage wyvern]

and how do i do that?

[naive pawn]

which part?

those are pretty basic concepts

[sage wyvern]

how do i choose between speed or sprint without assigning

[polar acorn]

You would assign it, you just need to keep the original value somewhere too

[naive pawn]

check for shift being pressed wherever you're applying the speed

[polar acorn]

You would have the speed value you are currently using, the sprint speed, and the normal speed. Three variables

[sage wyvern]

i'm quite a beginner so i don't know how

[polar acorn]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[sage wyvern]

but is there a way to say if shift isn't pressed?

[polar acorn]

Yes. Check if it's pressed, and then do something when it isn't

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Input.GetKey.html

[naive pawn]

or detect when it's released with GetKeyUp

[dawn moth]

how do you remove modifiers

you delete the modifier from the file...?

i dont have any option

[slender nymph]

what modifier are you trying to remove

[dawn moth]

a script

[slender nymph]

be specific

[dawn moth]

oh

my bad

[slender nymph]

that's called a component, not a modifier. and it very clearly has a Remove Component option

[polar acorn]

Okay but what is a "Modifier"

[dawn moth]

yeah i just saw thank youi

[balmy vortex]

hey so like how do you increase an objects transparency in unity?

[echo ruin]

Are you using a sprite renderer component?

[balmy vortex]

idk? I'm using a mesh renderer

[wintry quarry]

you would need to use a transparent material

[balmy vortex]

well I kinda need the material to start off fully visible cuz I'm using it for a projectile

the idea is to make it slowly fade away hence why I need it to go transparent

[polar acorn]

Then you would use a transparent material but with full opacity

And then lower it

[balmy vortex]

[grand snow]

This may cause issues if left as transparent but with opacity as 1.
It can be a pain to change between opaque and transparent on a material at runtime but it's possible.

how do you change an objects opacity btw?

like what's the actual code for it?

[grand snow]

Change alpha on the materials colour

Get color from material, update a, set color back

hi, why rotation (euler) 90 0 0 is the same with 90 90 90?

[plain thicket]

thank you

[shell sorrel]

alot of issues like this can be avoided by working with quaternions, though just concpetally harder to understand some parts of it

When I use files in unity and try in the editor, does the file persists if I press stop?

nvm, I just saw it does

[civic forge]

I have trouble with my c# lsp not working. From a quick look online, it seems that Unity is suppose to generate .sln files for scripts when I generate .csproj files, but it doesn't. I tried to regenerate .csproj file multiple time. Any clue what could be causing that issue?

Visual Studio guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

[grand snow]

follow the instructions linked above

if using another ide then change your settings (e.g rider)

[civic forge]

I'm using nvim. I'm suppose to set inside neovim the settings to generate .snl?

[grand snow]

I dont think unity has support for vim

💡 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]

the visual studio package covers vs + vs code, and rider has its own. Otherwise no idea (zed has a community one that half works)

[civic forge]

I'm trying with vscode right now and it has the same issue.

Regenerated .csproj, no .snl generated, lsp doesn't work in the editor. I installed the c# and unity package.

[grand snow]

check if the visual studio package is updated in your project and you have the editor set to vs/vs code

if set to visual studio then a .sln is made

vs != vsc

[slender nymph]

for vs code check this page, it has steps to take if the typical configuration steps didn't work https://unity.huh.how/ide-configuration/visual-studio-code

[civic forge]

VSCode package is up to date, the External Script Editor is set to Visual Studio Code. I don't have an option for just visual studio.

[grand snow]

may be that it must be installed to even be usable...

[slender nymph]

VSCode package is up to date
by that do you mean the Visual Studio Editor package and not the Visual Studio Code Editor package? because the latter is deprecated and no longer in use by vs code

[civic forge]

Hmm i'll check

[grand snow]

yea its unified now

[rich adder]

is probably with the logic of the code but I can't find it
I mean... literally why I said to put logs and find out where it breaks / goes wrong..

[civic forge]

I can unlock a Visual Studio Editor package, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Do I have to uninstall the last one?

[grand snow]

unlock wut?

in the package manager in the unity registry view it should be there

presuming this is a recent unity version

[rich adder]

probably because its installed as dependency of Engineering package afaik

[civic forge]

Yeah it says that in the package

[rich adder]

as long as the version is 2.0.22+ you're good

[civic forge]

But I only get the visual studio code option in the external script editor, not the visual studio.

[grand snow]

wait what platform are you on

[civic forge]

MacOs

[rich adder]

why ? Visual Studio isn't even officially supported anymore on mac

[grand snow]

windows?

ah well yea that explains it

[civic forge]

I use neovim, I just want to generate the .snl file

[grand snow]

https://github.com/apyra/nvim-unity ?

(lots of these packages just "borrow" the sln gen anyway from the vs support package)

Hi everyone does anyone know how to add ads?

I’ve done everything about it just I want to how to right the code for it

(DM me if you want to)

[grand snow]

Use unity ads with levelplay

[nova fossil]

have a price

[grand snow]

Levelplay (was ironsource) is a mediator for other ad platforms too

[dense goblet]

what if I can't find Types in a script? am I missing a "using"?

public class SpawnManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float spawnRange = 9;
    public GameObject enemyPrefab;
    public int enemyCount;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        SpawnEnemyWave(1);
    }

    void SpawnEnemyWave(int enemiesToSpawn)
    {
       for (int i = 0; i < enemiesToSpawn; i++)
        {
            Instantiate(enemyPrefab, GenerateSpawnPosition(), enemyPrefab.transform.rotation);
        }
    }
    
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        enemyCount = FindObjectsByType<Enemy>(FindObjectsSortMode.None).Length;
    }

    private Vector3 GenerateSpawnPosition()
    {
    float spawnPosX = Random.Range(spawnRange, -spawnRange);
    float spawnPosZ = Random.Range(spawnRange, -spawnRange);

    Vector3 randomPos = new Vector3(spawnPosX, 0, spawnPosZ);

    return randomPos;
    }
}

[polar acorn]

What can't it find

[dense goblet]

sorry, <Enemy> in the enemyCount = FindObjectsByType<Enemy>(FindObjectsSortMode.None).Length; }

its on a Prefab

[polar acorn]

What is Enemy?

[dense goblet]

its a type, heres my Enemy object

[polar acorn]

No, the script

The one you're getting

[rich adder]

just reminder.. tags are not the same as components

[rocky canyon]

<Enemy> means the component would incorporate a Enemy.cs script

[dense goblet]

wait, that might be it, one second

[rocky canyon]

running a Find() method in the Update loop is very silly tho

probs be better if after u spawned in a wave u grab them all up..

[rich adder]

you should track them as they spawn, keep them in your own List

[dense goblet]

Yeag Im pretty sure that is what Im looking for, tysm

Im following the Junior Programmer guides but I gave some stuff funky names to keep track of it just in case I got confused.

I do wanna ask though.

``` This is looking for Objects with the EnemyAi Script?

[rich adder]

yes. technically a "Component"
if script is on a gameobject, its a Component

[rocky canyon]

gameobjects w/ the EnemyAI component ya

[polar acorn]

It does this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.FindObjectsByType.html

[rocky canyon]

but yes drag ur class EnemyAI or script from the project window onto the object.. then'd be searching for that tehcnially

[dense goblet]

Thats awesome, tysm

[rocky canyon]

thats also how we access other scripts from gameobjects that interact theGameObject.GetComponent<> or look up TryGets they're even better
like a sword hitting an enemy.. the sword could grab the Enemy script and call methods like "TakeDamage()" n whatnot
but since ur spawning in Enemy's and you know thats what ur spawning in adding them to a list would be the best way in ur case of a wave shooter.. when u instantiate one add it to the list.. and so on..

when u need ur count u can get it from ur own little list (thats pre-cached and optimized) rather than searching the scene after the fact

its not much to do it for 1 script.. but if u make it a habit ur game can end up crawling after it gets bigger

[dense goblet]

tysm for helping me, it means a lot.

[unkempt atlas]

my player isn't able to move up or down, it floats in the air or sinks into ground or just vibrates

Hi, could I get some help. I've been trying to code a pokemon code 3D with 2D sprites kind of like Black and White but I get stuck at the movement

[rocky canyon]

log the Y or (whatever ur axis is for up and down) of its velocity

suspicions are it might be getting reset or dampened somehow

[unkempt atlas]

yeah I've done that

I'm missing something fundamental but I've going over this for 2 days

[elder hearth]

Send the code pls

[rich adder]

also you outta show the inspectors

[unkempt atlas]

PlayerMovement script

Inspectors:

[rich adder]

have you tried turning off interpolation

ohh its not Kinematic..

rb>moveposition is usually for Kinematic movement

[unkempt atlas]

I'll send a recording of what my player does when I play

[rich adder]

try putting Kinematic on, does it do the same thing?

[unkempt atlas]

yes this made some fixes I'll send it

still an issue

when the player moves forward it sinks into ground and out

[rich adder]

is that the player itself going into the ground or the animation?

[unkempt atlas]

player

my animations (the walking animations) aren't even triggering yet

[rich adder]

are you sure? cause it looks like it animated. try disabling the animator

[unkempt atlas]

how do I disable it? lol

[polar acorn]

Checkmark

[unkempt atlas]

that fixed it

it moves properly along the plane

one more thing, I have animations sprites for movement, they don't seem to be working

[rich adder]

so it was animator animating the transform or just visuals

[rich adder]

in what way they aren't working ? You should check the conditions / paramas you set and see whats happening

if you select the gameobject with animator in playmode you inspect the Animator /Controller live and see if params are hitting etc.

[unkempt atlas]

this is my animator rn

does it look right?

[rich adder]

tbh looks like hell

id probably use a blend tree lol

probably a 2D composite

https://www.sunnyvalleystudio.com/blog/2d-blend-tree-unity

[unkempt atlas]

bruh can I send in my proj to one of you guys and yall fix the animation

my brain isn't wired for this at all

[rich adder]

why did you pick gamedev then lol

[unkempt atlas]

I'm more of a see and learn guy

[rich adder]

lol..so "see" the link I sent and redo the animation system properly with using blend tree, will make the workflow 100x easier..

[grand snow]

some poor soul posts on reddit every day not knowing about blend trees...

[rich adder]

blend tree is goated. I use it to mix multiple "states"

my climb animation is just a blend tree of 2 clips alternating (left grab, right grab)
...I dont have an animator clearly.. gotta improvise lol

[grand snow]

well I guess it works but not the intended use im sure

[vivid jacinth]

How did you make this sytem ? Do you use a Trigger collider to change the statut of the character ?

[rich adder]

pretty much

when its in the ladder trigger the movement vector switches from (Horz, 0, Vert) to (horiz, vert, 0)

I was gonna make a more complex system with "get on" and "get off" nodes but this is a quick proto for a jam so its not that serious

also use a Dot product so you only can climb looking at the ladder and not like look away and climb with your back lol

[quartz jay]

how do you fix scaling issues, when you have a position with an offset and you change the offset, it doesn't stick, how do I fix this?

[wintry quarry]

Is this a code question?

[quartz jay]

Yes

[wintry quarry]

Mind sharing the code in question and what you expect it to do, and what is happening instead?

[quartz jay]

Is it ok to post it all here

[wintry quarry]

"it doesn't stick" is very vague

    public void Map()
    {
          rigTarget.position = vrTarget.TransformPoint(trackingPositionOffset);

    }
}```

[strange jackal]

I am using a third person camera view, but I find moving right or left, causes the screen to quickly move side to side, in a bad way... this yellow dot seems to indicate something about how much it is pulling to the right, is there any way - through programing to minimize this? should I slow character movement speed as I transition left and right?

[wintry quarry]

ok so what is this supposed to be doing and in what way is it differing from your expectations?

[quartz jay]

Ok so

the rig target

gets the target from the IK

and sets it to the controllers position with an offset

[wintry quarry]

Is this a code question, or perhaps a #🎥┃cinemachine question?

[strange jackal]

not sure

[quartz jay]

and when I scale an object like the arm, it's wonky

(the offset)

[strange jackal]

I mean I control speed in code

[wintry quarry]

well yes, TransformPoint takes scaling into account

[strange jackal]

and I use the rotation in code... I have messed with all the cimachine settings I can and they have no effect

[wintry quarry]

I think it's hard to understand what you're talking about here without a video for example

but it sounds like a #🎥┃cinemachine question

[wintry quarry]

Are you saying you want the offset to not take scaling into account?

[strange jackal]

ok I'll make a video and post it there

[quartz jay]

Whenever I scale the arms and fix the target offset to match the hand, it doesn't match

when I move the controller

It goes even more out of position

[wintry quarry]

how are you "fixing the target offset to match the hand"?

[quartz jay]

Ok so

the Target

goes to the controllers transform position

PLUS

the vector

bruh I can't type letters

three

vector three

see rigTarget.position = vrTarget.TransformPoint(trackingPositionOffset);

[wintry quarry]

yes but this takes into account the rotation and scale of vrTarget

if you don't want scale taken into account (i.e. you want an absolute world space offset) you would do it differently

So do you want:

• Rotation taken into account?
• Scale taken into account?

[quartz jay]

Wdym

I just don't want the scale to interfere with it

[wintry quarry]

That's what I was asking

then you need to do it differently. TransformPoint is wrong

[quartz jay]

oh rotation has nothing to do with this

that's fine

it's just the offset

[wintry quarry]

you want something like:

rigTarget.position = vrTarget.position + vrTarget.rotation * trackingPositionOffset;```

[quartz jay]

huh..?

[wintry quarry]

we need to know whether rotation of the vrTarget matters to write the correct code though

[quartz jay]

Why does the rotation need to be in it

[wintry quarry]

well your current code accounts for rotation too

so I was making it the same as your current code just without the scale

[quartz jay]

that's not what the problem is

it's only the position

[wintry quarry]

if you don't want scale OR rotation to matter then you just need this:

rigTarget.position = vrTarget.position + trackingPositionOffset;```

[quartz jay]

Ok, let me try!

[wintry quarry]

I understand what you're saying, but the rotation being in or out of the code matters, you need to be aware of what your code is doing

[quartz jay]

See what I'm talking about, one time it's in a good position, but when I move it, it's out of place?

The XYZ is the controller btw

[wintry quarry]

First off can you make sure your tool handle position is set to Pivot mode?
