[loud remnant]

did you try to change the camera controller and the movement controller scripts?

change the void update functions to void lateupdate

[true pine]

I did the lateupdate thing

changed nothing

[loud remnant]

hmph

screenshot me the code
but only the part where the camera controller is mentioned

[true pine]

don't mind the comments

here's the whole script cos it isn't that long

[loud remnant]

certified unity moment

[true pine]

so it's an engine issue?

[loud remnant]

I can understand what the script does yet you get an issue
show me the movement script

[loud remnant]

never an engine issue in this moment

[rich adder]

BTW mouse input should not be multiplied by deltaTime, as it's already returning the delta between frames

[true pine]

ohhhh

fuckass tutorial

[rich adder]

indeed

[loud remnant]

we both are indeed stupid
some random called nav spawns in then gives a solution that makes sense

[true pine]

HOLY SHIT IT WORKS

[loud remnant]

yeah we both are dumb twin ❤️‍🩹

[true pine]

ahole

I was sending the caseoh gif

"THIS IS A MOMENT IN HISTORY, TAKE A PICTURE"

[loud remnant]

❤️

[rich adder]

I didn't even scroll so wasn't sure the original problem but yeah just saw that one common mistake everyone does and had to point it out lol

[loud remnant]

still sigma

where did you learn how to code tho

js finished a small course and tryna get into more C#

[rich adder]

a mix of places, mainly Microsoft learn site

[true pine]

another thing I didn't like about the tutorial was the fact that it wants me to use projectiles for bullets

[rich adder]

Nothing wrong with that, depends on the style of the game / weapon

[loud remnant]

as in rigid body bullets? or raycasts?

[true pine]

rigidbody, I wanna use raycasts for now though I do want projectile weapons eventually

grenade launchers n shit

[rich adder]

Raycast are good for Hitscan weapons , for projectiles you need to "simulate" the velocity and possible a drop yourself

[loud remnant]

rigid body bullets can be used to give the bullet travel speed and bullet drop easier than raycasts
but can be problematic in performance iirc

[true pine]

I'm not tryna do bullet drop stuff

this doesn't need to be hyper-realistic, I'm going for something like tf2

[rocky canyon]

rb are fine if u pool them

[rich adder]

With pooling this can be remedied a bit

[rocky canyon]

raycastgoodtoo

[loud remnant]

you can remove gravity from rigid bodies

it's a toggle feature

[true pine]

this I've learned and will likely recycle for rocket launchers when I get to that point down the road

[loud remnant]

rigid body projectiles are REALLY great for weapons like bows

[rich adder]

A big issue with rigidbody is if they are too fast they might not register even with continuous collisions

[true pine]

I'll deal with rbs later, I'm just tryna get hitscan right now

[loud remnant]

is this fixable 🤔

[loud remnant]

can we use lateupdate for it

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! Is it possible to create crouching system without having humanoid at all, by animating the camera itself?

Like if you want to animate the camera to go up and down without having the humanoid rig

like you have just the camera itself, I was just wondering

[rich adder]

Continous collision mode usually is fine. For more complex cases you can add extra ray check

[cosmic dagger]

Sure, crouching has nothing to do with being humanoid . . .

[edgy sinew]

Yeah for sure. There are at least 5 easy ways to get that done keep us posted

[sage wyvern]

my unity is glitching

i started adding animations and now the ui is glitched

on the right hand side

fixed it

but i can't seem to get my animation to work

[loud remnant]

restart unity

[sage wyvern]

already tried that once

[loud remnant]

Ctrl + s first (save)

[loud remnant]

then you are probably in hell D:

[sage wyvern]

[true pine]

oh boy can't wait to struggle with this in the future

[rich adder]

just fyi this is a code channel

[sage wyvern]

yeah, i know but it was easier and no one helps you in #🏃┃animation i posted there like 1 day ago and no one helped

[rich adder]

well crossposting is against server rules so stick to the proper channel
if someone has the answer they will answer it

[sage wyvern]

alr mb

[polar acorn]

If you actually provide enough information in the question that someone could actually answer it, you'd have a better chance of getting answered.

[sage wyvern]

that's the problem, this is my first time animating so i don't know how to explain it

[river sandal]

Does MonoBehavior and NetworkBehavior the same except MonoBehavior is for single player?

[timber tide]

Network is sync'd between clients

The transform data that is

[sour fulcrum]

That’s a NetworkTransform component

[timber tide]

Oh yeah just in general NetworkBehaviors will include the transform data sync'd

as GOs can only exist with a transform anyway. Either case you're not usually RPCing the transform data

[sour fulcrum]

Can you elaborate on this because that doesn’t sound right at all

[timber tide]

Not sure what to elaborate on. If you're using NetworkBehaviour you're using tied to using a NetworkGame objects

[sour fulcrum]

NetworkGame?

You specifically said transform data but i’m not sure what you mean by that

[river sandal]

Thanks

So how would anti cheat work on multiplayer

[timber tide]

NetworkBehaviours are usually instantiated upon these NetworkTransforms because otherwise you'll be adding a bunch of boilerplate to RPC every bit of your hierarchy's transform to the server and each client.

Which also have options on the network identity to not transmit that data, but in general if you're working with multiplayer you'll be using these specific gameobjects any time you want to provide positional/rotational data to the server

[gentle moat]

I’m making a top down 2d pixel art game and cinemachine’s dampening is causing minor jittering. Is there a way to fix this? I would like to have dampening still.

[timber tide]

There's usually options for when the camera updated (fixed/update/smart*) which you can maybe resolve with but otherwise ask in #🎥┃cinemachine

[cosmic vapor]

Using System;
Class Program
{ static void Main(){ Console.WriteLine("hello world");}

Just learned thisss

[rich adder]

NetworkBehavior has Network specific properties and functions.
it inherits from MB
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@2.5/manual/components/core/networkbehaviour.html

[gentle moat]

didn’t even realize that’s a channel lol

[river sandal]

so is it an exact copy except NetworkBehavior just has multiplayer functionality?

[timber tide]

Pretty much

The only time you'd really use general monobehavior if you only want client sided scripts to run

Such as UI for instance

[rich adder]

inherits means its still a MB yes.

all the network stuff is relative once the Network is started

eg isClient doesnt return anything accurate until you are connected etc.

[river sandal]

right so what do multiplayer framework do?

[rich adder]

but yeah you don't use networkbehaviors for literally everything, just things that need to check those properties, or receive those network event

[river sandal]

if we have NetworkBehavior

[river sandal]

I see

its like private and public

if everyting is public it can be a headache

[rich adder]

idk what you mean by that

[river sandal]

public variables

and private variables

[rich adder]

access modifiers have nothing to do with anything here

[river sandal]

right- it was just an example.

so what do multiplayer frameworks like photon do again

sync computers or something

[rich adder]

they are basically all the boilerplate code you would normally write yourself

[river sandal]

i see

so like

they are shortcuts

[rich adder]

computers are not syncd ever

thats not how it works

[timber tide]

there's also lag compensation a lot of these libraries provide that is usually a pain to write

[river sandal]

I see

[rich adder]

you send RPCs usually to tell other computers what to "sync" in a way

but they are all running their own simulations and their own timings

they don't know about each other at all

[river sandal]

so does it sync objects and physics?

[rich adder]

things like NetworkVariables ease this for you and sync variables automagically

[river sandal]

how does it link it together

[rich adder]

server-client topology , they all know only about Server, they dont know anything about each other and only communicate through Server

so its up to you to sync and communicate to clients what to sync

[timber tide]

server is what runs the actual game state which all clients abide by, by most mesh-network approaches

[river sandal]

oh okay so do they all run via the server and other clients dont talk to other clients

[rich adder]

thats what makes networking very difficult especially when lag plays into it

[river sandal]

i understand

[rich adder]

no they all run their own version of the game, the server is just there to Send RPCs. / Sync states

[eager stratus]

So I'm not sure what it is about my movement code that is causing the character to get stuck on a ledge like in the GIF

[river sandal]

I understand it now

[rich adder]

if client wants to Shoot , it sends RPC to server to tell I am Shooting this other object, then server finds out which client that is and it sends RPC to it for damage etc.

[timber tide]

server could also say no, you weren't allowed to shoot to prevent speed hackers to manipulating it all

[river sandal]

anti cheat for multiplayer games sounds like misery

[rich adder]

yea ideally server always keeps the "state"

[timber tide]

then your choice of sync it back to the server state or stay with your desync'd state

[river sandal]

wdym sync

[rich adder]

because it is, hence why even AAA struggle with it

often why third party tools are used

[river sandal]

like what

[rich adder]

Easy Anti-Cheat and such

[river sandal]

dont those programs need like alot of access to your computer

[rich adder]

well now there is a new trend to get into "SecureBoot" which is part of your CPU/Mobo and that is basically kernel level anti-cheats

lots of these don't work for other platforms like Linux

[junior saddle]

hi chat

I want to do node pathfinding

[rich adder]

probably just the collider

its pretty common issue especially with capsule controllers

there isn't an exact fix and you need to get a bit creative on how to fix it

[eager stratus]

I figured that was part of it which is why I tried contracting the radius but I still have the same problem. So what's the solution

[rich adder]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[timber tide]

character controller has issues with it too

[junior saddle]

I want to do node pathfinding

[eager stratus]

Ok. What solutions have been done then?

[rich adder]

i've seen some people somewhat "nudge" the controller off the ledge

or shrink the collider momentarily as you mentioned

[eager stratus]

Well, yeah, they're also capsules

[timber tide]

Just do box collider ;)

[rich adder]

real old school

goodluck on slopes though lol

[eager stratus]

I can see that being a solution once you find a way to detect a ledge, but I don't know how you would do that then return the collider to normal

[rich adder]

a combinations of raycasts

and some maths

[eager stratus]

Ok. How does this work?

[rich adder]

say you have 5 rays, one middle and 4 on the sites in a NSWE type of setup

then you can see if its 1 ray only hitting and "under" the middle and sides is a gap to fall you push that way

[eager stratus]

Where are they starting from and where are they pointing?

[rich adder]

start where the capsule bottom "quarter" starts pointing downn

like here

[eager stratus]

So I start from the very bottom of the capsule and point it where?

[rich adder]

they all point down?

[eager stratus]

Oh I see where you're going with this

[rich adder]

so if only 1 ray is hiting but not the others, then you kinda know you're on a ledge

ofc you gotta handle other situations (edge cases)

[potent hound]

Hi there! I was advised to come here in hopes of resolving an upcoming Unity patch which will very likely break the english translation mod for the game Duel Masters Plays

This will very likely happen to DMP, once the unity update patch goes live tomorrow

I know absolutely nothing of coding. Translating the game simply (tediously) requires renaming text in a massive text cache file. I'd like to know what I have to learn in order to adequetely solve this potential issue by myself, since the mod is more or less abandoned

[keen dew]

Discussing modding isn't really allowed here but if you have no coding experience it's not going to be easy. Most likely you'd have to learn how the mod works and dig deeply into Unity internals so it's a big hill to climb

[potent hound]

Ah, sorry.

I see. Guess the community's cooked then

Hello, guys! I have made animations for my camera in order to create crouching everything works fine when I am pressing C button its crouching and when from crouching pressing C it stands up, but the problem is I cannot move at all because I am using character controller to move and my animations I think doesn't letting me move at all. What could be the problem?

I am not using humanoid at all

only animating the camera

[forest cosmos]

Hey guys, new here. Learning Network for gameobjects and have a small issue. if someone can help me out with it?

Yes bro. What's the best practice when using animations without a humanoid like which approach most devs use for movement when handling animations without humanoid rig?

I know its of course easier to animate and move with humanoid rig but without one things are getting more complicated

[teal viper]

Animations are generally unrelated to movement. Unless you're trying to do root motion.

[silent isle]

Hi

[rich adder]

https://nohello.net/en/

[silent isle]

Is C# difficult to learn?

[naive pawn]

depends

[edgy sinew]

It's different for everyone. Technically speaking, no, it's a really pleasant modern language

[naive pawn]

how much experience, if any, do you have with programming beforehand?
how apt are you with the process of breaking down problems into smaller tasks?

etc etc

[edgy sinew]

If you are good at analyzing things, actually video games across history do the same kinda stuff over and over. Exceptions being novel breakthroughs like Motion Matching, GPU instancing, whatever.

[silent isle]

experience = none.

[naive pawn]

compared to other languages, it's about middle of the road in terms of learning curve, imo

but programming as a whole kinda has a learning curve on its own

[silent isle]

How many years it takes to master C#?

[naive pawn]

#💻┃unity-talk message perhaps give this a read

[edgy sinew]

It depends my dude

[naive pawn]

infinite - you never really master something in this field

there's always more to learn

but you don't need to know everything to be experienced enough to make things

you don't need to know much to start - as you get better, as you learn more things, you can make more complex things

[polar acorn]

1. Impossible to answer
2. Don't set your goal at "Mastery"

[edgy sinew]

My advice is to make a decision on what exactly you wanna build. Cuphead clone, PUBG clone, Civilization clone, Clash of Clans, whatever.
Then you start analyzing how that works, research how it works. And you come up with the 5-10 strategies / concepts needed

[naive pawn]

think about other skills, mastering art, math, carpentry, etc
you can never "complete" those subjects, there's always more you can do
but you don't need everything

same thing for programming

[silent isle]

Yeah.

[edgy sinew]

We can't give you specific answers if you don't have a specific goal

[grand snow]

I thought I knew things then I started learning about value categories in c++ 🙁

[naive pawn]

ive been going through those for like a month lmao. though tbf it hasn't been continuous

++container.begin() is an lvalue and that is deeply unsettling

[silent isle]

What is Unity?

[naive pawn]

depends on what you're asking exactly

it's a company, it's a software, it's an ecosystem, it's a community

[edgy sinew]

You can do cool stuff in 3D or 2D. Basically whatever you want. That's it

[polar acorn]

https://unity.com/

[silent isle]

i can only imagine creating an 3D game. huh

[naive pawn]

mario, metroid, smash

pokemon

stardew valley

terraria

the list goes on

[silent isle]

Is it free?

[naive pawn]

did you put any research into unity beforehand?

these are pretty simple questions, and i have a feeling you have more that would all be easily answered by some quick google searches

[edgy sinew]

what the heck do we look like to you, Google? 🙂

[polar acorn]

You could click on the link I sent, it's all answered there

[silent isle]

I just wan't to learn new things from people, not from google.

[naive pawn]

people wrote stuff for google to give you

[edgy sinew]

News flash, everything on Google is "from people"

😭

[naive pawn]

so we don't have to say the same things over and over again

[polar acorn]

Not any more 😭

[silent isle]

fine

[naive pawn]

googling will save us all, and especially you, a lot of time

and it'll also give extra info that you can research further and learn more

using available resources effectively is a very crucial skill

[jovial elm]

easier than python

[silent isle]

is it?

[naive pawn]

no, it depends

[jovial elm]

it depends but for me, its easy

[cosmic quail]

and python was hard?

[naive pawn]

the first language you try is always the hardest

[jovial elm]

in python you have to mention every text's place

[naive pawn]

yeah, same here?

[jovial elm]

it doesn't have drag and drop system

[naive pawn]

huh? c# doesn't either

that would be a unity thing, not a c# thing

[jovial elm]

c# + unity

[naive pawn]

yeah, that would be a comparison of unity vs [whatever engine you were using before], not c# vs python

[polar acorn]

Python is specifically annoying because it isn't strongly typed which makes managing large projects a nightmare.

[fast helm]

How can I remove this? It always asks me everytime I open up my project

It just appeared up recently

[polar acorn]

[polar acorn]

Then you'll need to remove or update whatever template package contains it

"Features", that's what they're called. Had to go check

[winged ridge]

Took me years to learn English 🙁 was born unable to speak it. But yes this is true, as you learn more and more about a language you can switch easier to others, principles generally remain same just the syntax may change

[haughty lion]

Hi guys

I'm facing a little problem here

The script somewhy isn't working

[rain solar]

Will anything go wrong if I store huge amounts of chunk data in a sqlite db so I can have both random read write access and chunk compression?

[haughty lion]

Could you please help me to solve this?

[polar acorn]

And what is the problem

[haughty lion]

It collides with the ray, but it doesn't work, a circle has to go after the square

[polar acorn]

Do you get your debug log

[haughty lion]

But when I remove "AttackRay.collider.gameObject == Player", it works tho

[polar acorn]

So that would mean that the thing the ray hits isn't the same object as Player

[haughty lion]

Unfortunately, Debug.Log isn't being shown, that's the problem

[polar acorn]

What is Player?

[haughty lion]

But I've set up a tag in Inspector to the square "Player"

[haughty lion]

An used tag

[polar acorn]

Not sure what tags have to do with anything

Tags aren't involved in this code at all

[haughty lion]

Ohhhhhh

Dayum

[polar acorn]

You set one on an object if the ray hits something, but what tags an object has currently are irrelevant

[haughty lion]

But what is Player here AttackRay.collider.gameObject == Player

Is it the name of the object?

[polar acorn]

Do you know what == means

[haughty lion]

Of course .-.

Beforehand I thought this was used for tags' names, now I'm being aware of the contradiction

[polar acorn]

So then you should be able to see what it's doing

[haughty lion]

I comprehend what it means

[polar acorn]

You're comparing AttackRay.collider.gameObject and Player.

Are they equal

So, I ask again, what is Player?

[haughty lion]

So it means it tries to equal collider's name with "Player"?

[polar acorn]

What do names have to do with it

Where are you getting names from that line

[haughty lion]

Idk bro I'm new

[polar acorn]

It's checking AttackRay.collider.gameObject, and Player

[haughty lion]

I had to use the name because a circle sees its own collider

[polar acorn]

If those are the same thing, it's true

[haughty lion]

Which was the reason for me to condition it

[haughty lion]

And responded

[polar acorn]

So, what is Player?

[edgy sinew]

Include Layers and Exclude Layers can help. If your enemy would only need to detect the Player nearby.

I think using actual Collider components with OnTriggerEnter / OnTriggerExit is quicker than doing your own Raycasts or OverlapSphere etc

Checking gameObject == Player is probably not a great way to check if the collided object is a Player

Surely tags and layers work faster than, checking game object equality ... anyone know for sure ?

[polar acorn]

It might be, depending on what Player is

[polar acorn]

Nah, direct object equality is trivially fast. It's a reference type, it just compares two pointers

Granted, tags and layers are also trivially fast, but both involve dereferencing the pointer first, then comparing two pointers

(as long as you're using CompareTag so it doesn't need to do a string lookup)

[rough granite]

It's also slower...

[polar acorn]

It doesn't need to be, but doing all the stuff to make it fast basically blows away any of the good reasons to use the language in the first place

The conveniences provided by the language come at a cost

[rough granite]

Oddly enough the conveniences are what make me hate the language, i need my semicolons and wiggly brackets

[edgy sinew]

Yeah of course, C or C++ if speed is important

[polar acorn]

By "Conveniences" I mean more like pip and virtual environments

[rough granite]

C# is still faster no?

[edgy sinew]

C# is faster than C? It cannot be

[rough granite]

Ah yeah never messed with those

[polar acorn]

The only thing faster than C is machine code

[edgy sinew]

C is the most raw language yeah exactly

Before assembly language / machine code

Python runs on C... interpreted

[rough granite]

Ahh it's still faster c++ at least right?

[edgy sinew]

C#, faster than C++? Why

[polar acorn]

Also no

[rough granite]

Is it not? I was told it was quite a few times :/

[polar acorn]

You don't pick C# for speed

If speed is even on your list of requirements, you use C++. If it's at the top of the list, you use C.

[rough granite]

Well no i know that c# is a higher level language (right? Cause I'm not even sure atp)

[edgy sinew]

"Speed" means it is programmed to be fast. Hence the access the language gives you to things, limits the speed

[runic basalt]

Anyone know if shaders used in URP Decal Projectors can be dynamic? I'm trying to have decal projector that grows a water stain on the ceiling. I have a script that is adjusting the shader property to have the visual fade in over time, and I have debugged the value coming from the shader and can see that it is changing as I'd expect, but as soon as the instance of the projector is created, it is completely visible immediately instead of fading in over time. Even if I comment out the code that fade it in and just have the code in the start function that sets that value to 0, it's still there as though it's not being set. I've also selected the projector in the scene at run time to verify that I have set the instance of the material and not using the original.

[haughty lion]

guys sorry for very basic question

But how could I solve this?

[polar acorn]

Drag in the object you want to call the function on, not the text file containing the code.

[haughty lion]

Ohhh, Thank you so much!

👍

[hexed jungle]

hi

how can I fix it ? I have older version ?

[polar acorn]

Rigidbody2D.velocity has been deprecated. Please use linearVelocity.

[hexed jungle]

I want velocity not linearVelocity

I don't want to change it, how can I remove it so that it doesn't correct me.

[polar acorn]

There is no velocity any more

it's linearVelocity

[hexed jungle]

why?

[polar acorn]

Because linearVelocity is more descriptive to what it actually means

[hexed jungle]

but this is the same and is faster to write

[polar acorn]

It is the same, that's why you should use linearVelocity

It's shorter, but less correct.

.v would be shorter still

but less useful

[hexed jungle]

ok thanks

[eternal needle]

You brought this up a couple days ago, did you make a bug report?
I made one but they weren't able to replicate it, haven't gotten around to uploading a full project where it happens

[vale karma]

i sent in a report, nothin back yet

a big chunk of my code relies on getting those characters lol. tf unity

[eternal needle]

Assign it in code, you can change the value properly if there's a value already populated. You just cant remove the value and make it empty

[vale karma]

Lol that works. weird how that works tho

[manic gorge]

How do I stop VSCode from showing the rosyln generated code when I search by references? it's a lot of noise to wade through when looking for a reference to something.

[haughty lion]

Hey guys

Could you tell me please why isn't my player jumping?

[slender nymph]

if i had to guess, i'd say that your isGrounded method is returning false. but you need to actually add some logs or something to verify

[haughty lion]

Ohh

Okay, thanks 👍

[slender nymph]

also, if you want a cast with 0 distance, why not just use an OverlapBox instead? your cast doesn't move so it isn't going to move into another collider

[haughty lion]

I had accidentally forgotten about implementing the distance, fixed it

Isn't working 🙁

[slender nymph]

and have you bothered actually checking if that is even the problem?

[polar acorn]

Try logging the result if isGrounded

see if it ever actually is true

[haughty lion]

Of course, I'm trying, asking GPT, logging and checking if whether box's collider is normal or not

[haughty lion]

Okay

[slender nymph]

if you're logging then where are the logs

[haughty lion]

IsGrounded is false somewhy

[polar acorn]

Does that log ever print?

[haughty lion]

How can I make sure that box collider is right exactly in the intersection with the mask? Ray can be seen, so can be the box?

[slender nymph]

well that "True" log is certainly misleading. but does it actually print?

[haughty lion]

Sorry, I don't know, I only started learning Unity recently

I trust Debug.Log for booleans and etc.

[polar acorn]

Answering whether or not you get a log to print isn't something that requires Unity knowledge

[slender nymph]

so then how the fuck did you determine that isGrounded is returning false?

[haughty lion]

it is notable

[slender nymph]

wtf does that mean

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like a translator is being used

[haughty lion]

dude I tried to put it in an update

it hadn't been affected at all tho

the same result

[slender nymph]

okay, that's irrelevant. i will ask again, is the log that only says "True" printing to the console. yes or no.

[polar acorn]

So, did the log print

[haughty lion]

No

[polar acorn]

Then you aren't calling this function anywhere

[slender nymph]

congrats, isGrounded isn't even being called then!

[haughty lion]

I tried to call it with isGrounded = true implemented in the fields of the class

[slender nymph]

which indicates either the Jump method isn't being called or the context.performed is false

[haughty lion]

it didn't work either

[slender nymph]

this makes no sense considering isGrounded is a method

[haughty lion]

I changed its shape

[polar acorn]

If you did that you'd get a compile error because you can't set a function to true

[haughty lion]

cuz I changed its method, changing it from the method to the actual boolean

[slender nymph]

instead of making random changes that make no sense, why not actually attempt to debug the way we've suggested so that you can actually figure out what the fuck is wrong here instead of throwing a bunch of shit at the wall and hoping something sticks

[haughty lion]

Send me the solution then instead of being toxic

[polar acorn]

We did and you kept changing random other things instead

So the goal posts keep moving further and further away

[slender nymph]

we have to figure out what the fuck is wrong first

[haughty lion]

I can't find it out mate

[haughty lion]

Bro I did it earlier

[slender nymph]

then cooperate

[polar acorn]

We said "log the value of this function to see if it's being called" and instead of answering it you changed the function to a bool for some reason?

[haughty lion]

these changes I mentioned were made earlier

[haughty lion]

I did it earlier as I say

[polar acorn]

No, we asked if it logged as it was when you shared it and then without giving us the answer you changed it again

[jagged shoal]

I'm trying to get input key, but it fails

[haughty lion]

I didn't change anything there lad

[polar acorn]

So now the answer we had is irrelevant because the code is different now

[slender nymph]

then if your current code is the code you've sent a screenshot of most recently, and "True" is never being printed to the console, then i've already told you what is wrong #💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

Then how did you set a function to true

[haughty lion]

Because I did it earlier .-.

[slender nymph]

there is so much wrong here

[polar acorn]

Okay, so, _does this log print _

[haughty lion]

Noo, at all

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[polar acorn]

This isn't even C#

[haughty lion]

So what could I do?

[jagged shoal]

I'm using javascript on unity cloud

[polar acorn]

Then you're never calling the function.

[haughty lion]

Shall I try to change context.performed?

[slender nymph]

well try using logs to find out what the issue is

[haughty lion]

Okay

[solid marlin]

hiya, I want to start learning unity, Im probably going to start with the official unity tutorials but Ive heard that those are a bit too "guided" as in they just straight up tell me what to do instead of why to do something, should I just start with that and then simply try making small projects or should I look towards other tutorials instead?

[haughty lion]

I've tried to call it in function without "context.performed" and it didn't work either

[slender nymph]

alright, if you're just going to ignore what is being told to you then i'm done attempting to help

[haughty lion]

Bro I just can't understand

You're telling me to log

[polar acorn]

Now you should see if yourJump function is ever called

[haughty lion]

I logged it with "debug.log"

[slender nymph]

show the new logs then

[haughty lion]

And I'm attempting to see if "context.performed" is the problem or it is situated elsewhere but in the actual boolean

Lemme

[polar acorn]

I don't think cloud code is used for this sort of thing. It seems to be something that runs entirely s ever side so I don't think there's any input it can read from

[haughty lion]

Here's what I did

[slender nymph]

there are no new logs here. so you didn't bother trying to log like i suggested

[haughty lion]

LOGGG

LOGGING IS THAT LIKE DEBUG.LOG?

[polar acorn]

Okay and is the log printing now

[slender nymph]

yes, obviously

[polar acorn]

They removed the context part of the if statement

So it's just calling Is grounded directly

[haughty lion]

There are 2 debug logs 😭

[polar acorn]

Does that log run

The one in is grounded

[haughty lion]

Yes to see if context performed was the problem

[slender nymph]

put one outside of the if statement so you can see if the method is even running at all

[haughty lion]

I'm removing that Debug.Log from Jump(context), right?

[slender nymph]

huh?

[haughty lion]

Which one of log shall I delete?

[slender nymph]

i didn't say anything at all about removing a log. i said add one

[haughty lion]

Ohh

Okay

[polar acorn]

They told you to add a log

[haughty lion]

Sorry bro

I'm sleepy

01:18 here been doing mathematics before

[slender nymph]

then go sleep and come back when you aren't making your lack of thought everyone else's problem

[haughty lion]

I haven't done well I have to solve this

[polar acorn]

Then wait until you're capable of reading answers before asking questions

[haughty lion]

Like this?

[polar acorn]

Yes. Does that print

[haughty lion]

Lemme check

It doesn't

[slim mortar]

does anyone know how i could show something like this in the inspector?

public class AStarPoint
{
    public Vector3 position;
    public List<AStarPoint> connections = new();

[slender nymph]

well there you go, that method isn't being called. see what you did different for that compared to your horizontal movement

[crimson pike]

not sure where this question should go. anyone using localization package, would preloading my dialogue string table for just the active locale bite me later down the road? how do you manage your localization tables for scalability?

[haughty lion]

ohhh.........

[polar acorn]

Then nothing is calling Jump

[haughty lion]

NAHHHHHHHHHH

[slender nymph]

make it serializable. though you'll have issues with serialization depth since the class contains a list of itself

[rough granite]

well this is a problem, you are printing it true before it even checks... meaning everytime it's called it'll say true even though it might not be

[slim mortar]

yeah thats the part im struggling with

[polar acorn]

You'll need to add [System.Serializable] to your AStarPoint class

[slim mortar]

i tried that and it doesnt work because of the List<AStarPoint>

[polar acorn]

Okay, and what is actually calling that event?

[wintry quarry]

What about it?

[haughty lion]

Player

The one I'm using for Move

[slim mortar]

it is itself an AStarPoint, so i guess keeping a list of other AStarPoints is causing problems

[polar acorn]

And Move, presumably, works?

[haughty lion]

Yess

[polar acorn]

So, what is the difference between Move and Jump

[haughty lion]

I mean in Move I just read the value of buttons for Vector2 and in Jump I type something

Bro I don't know

Tried to adhere to a tutorial

[wintry quarry]

Yeah so since this is actually a reference thing serialization isn't going to work normally without some editor scripting.

You'd need SerializeReference and a custom inspector

Typically serialized fields are fully duplicated out

[slim mortar]

thanks

[polar acorn]

What is the difference in how you call Move and how you call Jump

[polar acorn]

That doesn't really answer my question. I'm asking how you're calling these functions.

Move is getting called. Jump is not.

So, what's the difference between how you're calling them

[haughty lion]

In Move I just read the value of the button, the bind which is related to the keyboard.

Jump is asking if button is read or not, so it has to be performed when I tap a button of bind

[slender nymph]

that information is not relevant to the question that was asked. you were asked how these methods are being called. presumably another component is doing it if there's nothing explicitly using them in this one

[haughty lion]

They have the same modifier, the same parameter

I don't know

[slender nymph]

surely the tutorial showed how to set it up so that the methods are called when you perform your input, no?

[haughty lion]

I didn't particularly follow tutorial fully but at the beginning was writing by my own

And only later I started adhereing to that

The only thing I had noticed which I missed is that he created Jump bind, which I didn't

[slender nymph]

and you don't think that has anything to do with why the Jump method isn't being called?

[polar acorn]

So then what button are you pressing

[haughty lion]

W and S

[slender nymph]

and what exactly is connecting those buttons to the Jump method?

[haughty lion]

I mean it is already inserted in the new version

[haughty lion]

W and S

[polar acorn]

So, what's supposed to be making those buttons do "Jump"

[slender nymph]

i asked what connects those buttons to the method, not what those buttons are.

what, did you finally go and look at your input action map and see that you had a completely different button mapped to your Jump action?

[haughty lion]

SPACE 😭

[polar acorn]

Yeah, if you want to change the binding to something else, you have to actually change the binding

[haughty lion]

it worked after I tapped SPACE

[polar acorn]

It doesn't just read your mind to know what button you want

[haughty lion]

I WAS TAPPING W AND S BEFORE

[slender nymph]

now if only you had any idea what you were doing we could have guided you to that earlier

[rough granite]

what else would jump be, unless it was a 2d game which i doubt was mentioned, and you'd need to change that yourself

[haughty lion]

It works....

[slender nymph]

now instead of trying to follow shitty "Do X in Y minutes" tutorials that aren't really teaching you anything and are just expecting you to blindly parrot what they are doing, consider going through some actual courses that teach you, like the pathways on the unity learn site

[haughty lion]

The next time I will try to describe whole process starting from the point what button I press to move the character

[slender nymph]

[haughty lion]

GPT is very helpful I think

[slender nymph]

you think wrong

[polar acorn]

It really, truly isn't

[rough granite]

would not recommend chatgpt that much, spent 5 months learning c# with it and tbh i learnt more coding from my teacher that taught me the basics of java

[haughty lion]

not C# of course 😄 It cannot build up a plan in learning a programming language presumably

I learned C# from metanit

[slender nymph]

but you think it can build a learning plan for a game engine, which is arguably harder to learn than a programming language?

[haughty lion]

It helps me to distinguish different methods and their pros/cons

[haughty lion]

Not saying that

I mix it with Documentary

Documentary is at the top

[rough granite]

of course using ai makes me feel smart cause i watch it be stupid, duh

[slender nymph]

if documentation is your number one resource, then why didn't you just learn how to use the input system from the course in its documentation and instead relied on a terrible tutorial that isn't really teaching you anything?

[haughty lion]

Bro I'm telling ya I accidentally have been pressing W and S instead of SPACE

That's why method hadn't been calling

[rough granite]

yet you linked a photo to a video of code that was the same as what you had... #💻┃code-beginner message

[slender nymph]

yes because you knew nothing about the input system and didn't bother creating your desired bindings for the Jump action

[haughty lion]

It already was implemented there

Why would I create my own 😄

[slender nymph]

the action was, yes. but not your desired bindings for that action

[haughty lion]

Good night guys

[polar acorn]

Because you wanted it to be on a different button

You apparently wanted it to be W instead of Space

[haughty lion]

Bro ya not telephatic wdym by I wanted it

[slender nymph]

so you knew it was set to space but you were pressing a completely different button on purpose?

[haughty lion]

I did it accidentally

Huh weird auto correct lol

[still ingot]

Does anyone know the reason for why I am getting these errors?

here is my code for the project I am working on. Its a simple dialogue system I was making

[rich adder]

these newer unity versions are busted

[polar acorn]

I think they might have rushed these patched versions out the door and didn't fully decouple the broken 6.2 code from them

[still ingot]

Dang and I just told my team to switch to this version two days ago 🙄

[rich adder]

never commit to upgrade to the "latest" just cause

stick to LTS usually

especially if its a production project

Hopefull you made a git commit you can revert to before the upgrade ?

[still ingot]

Yeah everything is on git and I haven't made the commit yet because of the issue of the dialogue system

I just turned off ** Error Pause** to let it run and see haha

[rich adder]

ya its not like a simulation breaking error or anything afaik
its the Editor UI mostly

[still ingot]

Also is there a better way to go about playing sfx? I've read on forums that using animation events are better than programming it in when clicked and vise versa.

I did the character sfx through programming after you click the button instead of an animation event.

[rich adder]

depends what you're doing, if you need it to play at an exact time in the animation then yes animation event is usually the most accurate imo

if you need to play on click, then probably no point of animation event

[still ingot]

Okay thanks, this isn't animation the characters flip ( gameobject's set to false ) at specific dialogue points(index). I'm not that experienced in creating a dialogue system between characters. Only just pop ups over items.

[rich adder]

my only experience with dialogue was using something like ink

[still ingot]

With animations would the button just activate the next animation???

[still ingot]

ink???

[rich adder]

ya https://www.inklestudios.com/ink/

its open source

[grand snow]

Inkle and yarn are good

[rich adder]

ya heard good things on yarn too, I'm just cheap xD

[grand snow]

i think its free or cheap. I used it in a project and had good results

[rich adder]

danng 50$ on itch but 75$ on unity asset store

https://www.yarnspinner.dev

[still ingot]

Also i have been working on small mechanics outside of my project that I can save on my github and pull for other projects. I don't know why I haven't been doing that haha.

[rich adder]

i do something like this but also turn them into .unitypackage so they're easy to plop inn

[slender nymph]

Check out OpenUPM too, then you can create stuff to install through the package manager so it's easier to manage the versions in your projects you use it in

[marsh canyon]

what am I missing? shouldn't the bool isPaused be exposed here?

using UnityEngine;
using Rewired;

public class PauseLogic : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int playerId = 0;
    private Player player; // The Rewired Player

    public bool isPaused = false;
}

[slender nymph]

Write a method for it

[polar acorn]

It needs to be either a method or a property. Fields cannot be set by UnityEvents

[languid pagoda]

is it possible to execute commands into command prompt and get a return value back?

[rich adder]

yes

[languid pagoda]

what is the method name? I did some googling and cant find it.

well actually I kind of explained that poorly let me rephrase

[rich adder]

Process class for starters, then you can Read output and shit like that. I gotta recall the exact steps in a different project cause its been a while, I've done it to run api servers and read the output

[grand snow]

id love to hear why you want to do this

[languid pagoda]

I am creating a multiplayer game where community servers can add mods including custom scripts. I cannot use c# for this as you wouldn't want server owners able to access your personal files while connected to your server(or do a lot of other things for that matter). So i have embeded the web assembly runtime into unity using wasmtime. This will allow users to write scripts for the game in like 10+ languages(anything that can compile to a wasm file) one of which is assembly script. But in order to compile it to wasm you have to create a project in node js and execute several commands to the cmd prompt to do so. I am trying to make an editor script so I can just create it with a button in the createassetmenu

the web assembly runtime sandboxes the scripts for you so they can only do what you implement

[grand snow]

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.diagnostics.process.start?view=net-9.0

[rich adder]

found it

[grand snow]

I asked because I was unsure why you wanted this but editor only is safe

[rich adder]

dont mind my uhh arguments but yeah you can also add arguments or whatever

thank you for pointing me into the right direction

[rich adder]

put a log inside PlaySFX and see how many times it actually calls

[safe root]

I have this code on line 20 that has it, where it should be grabbing a gameObject from the other script (Towards the bottom for the other script) And I have ran mutilpe different test to see that the gameObject is not null as it does equal something. But I still run into this problem and I can't see where the problem lies. Can someone help me see if i'm stupid or not?

https://paste.ofcode.org/bVbYQPJWjhKL3A4z3VvLdt

For got to send the error

[rich adder]

your screenshot doesn't match the code you sent

[still ingot]

283 times and still rising

[safe root]

Should be the playercash code

[rich adder]

there is nothing on line 28

[safe root]

it's on Lane 20 in the code

[rich adder]

yeah thats a lot so either you busted the Animation Event or something else is calling it once it calls it

[safe root]

Lane 28 on studio due to some spacing I have

[rich adder]

line 20 still doesn't make sense.

[safe root]

Oh, it should Object = moneyHandler.Lockin within the FindTotalAmount()

[rich adder]

you have to send the code with the namespaces

[safe root]

That's where the error is

[rich adder]

that way the line matches the screenshot

[safe root]

Yeah

[rich adder]

so moneyHandler is null

what is lockin?

[safe root]

That is in the other script below it

But that is what's getting the object, from a collider

[still ingot]

Are there any potential solutions for my error?

[rich adder]

if you narrow it down to the cause?

[safe root]

https://paste.ofcode.org/mnviJNtGp5jGqHvX7f9dAU Here

right now it makes more sense

if (moneyHandler.Lockin == null)

again moneyHandler is null

is it assigned in the inspector?

[safe root]

https://paste.ofcode.org/88kn3wS9Xcnb8cgzJyy55r This is the other code sperate this time

[safe root]

Yes it is

[rich adder]

thats not PlayerCash

PlayerCash is saying moneyHandler is null

[safe root]

Is it assigned

[rich adder]

where is MoneyHandler field

its cutoff..

there is no need to crop them this much

[safe root]

Sorry, I keep looking at the wrong thing, It is not assigned....

Thank you for the help

[still ingot]

I don't know why but it was the animation event inside of the animaton track. I just deleted it and programmed it to play the sfx at a specific clickCount. I would prefer to use the animation event because it worked for the first one i don't understand why it glitched out on the second one???

I put the PlaySFX() in my nextline function

{
    if (dialogueArrayIndex < dialogueArray.Length - 1)
    {
        dialogueArrayIndex++;
        clickCount++;
        dialogueText.text = "";
        StartCoroutine(Typing());

        animator.SetInteger("Dialogue Point", clickCount);

        PlaySFX();
    }```

[rich adder]

hard to know the cause without debugging further...
could be a editor bug maybe ? the latest versions have been weird lately I wouldn't be surprised if it was

could be really anything , maybe you're stopping it on the animation event or the animation is looping ?

[languid pagoda]

How can I store objects of different types in the same list, particularly instances of System.Action, System.Action<T> and Func<T>?

[polar dust]

a tuple would probably work I think

List<(float a, int b, bool c)>

[rich adder]

both can store as Delegate type

[languid pagoda]

Hm this could work potentially but would require a lot of manual coding later. Essentially Im using a library that provides me with 3 overloads to find a function in a script. I would like to store the results of all of them into the same list.

 Action? action = instance.GetAction(functionName);
 Action<T>? other = instance.GetAction<T>(functionName);
 Func<TB,TResult> func = instance.GetFunction<TB, TResult>(functionName);

[languid pagoda]

oh wow this works ```csharp
Action? action = instance.GetAction(functionName);
Action<T>? other = instance.GetAction<T>(functionName);
Func<TB,TResult> func = instance.GetFunction<TB, TResult>(functionName);
functions[functionName].Add(other);
functions[functionName].Add(action);
functions[functionName].Add(func);

thanks again @rich adder

[rich adder]

it could be a potential code smell ngl
you lose a bit of type safety, might need to use is pattern and manually know params for each delagate

[jaunty junco]

Ok can someone help me????
For some reason is the player reset / respawning now broken in my game. It was working before.

I was able to trace back the error to the player initialize method.

private void Initialize()
{
    if (this._isSetup) return;

    this._isSetup = true;
    LoadPlayerModel();
    LoadingscreenManager.Instance.Stop();
    this._playerCameraHolder = Instantiate(this._playerCamera, this.transform.parent).GetComponent<PlayerCameraHolder>();
    this._playerCameraHolder.SetCameraTarget(this.transform);
    Debug.Log(this._playerCameraHolder.name);
}

When using the debugger I can see that the playerCameraHolder object gets successfully initialized and the method SetCameraTarget() is working too.
But once the last line of the Initialize method is run it just gets stuck and the camera doesent exist anymore and the loading screen is still running.

It looks like unity forgets that it had run the initialize code????

[slender nymph]

But once the last line of the Initialize method is run it just gets stuck and the camera doesent exist anymore and the loading screen is still running.
what do you mean by this?

are you getting some sort of error on the last line?

[jaunty junco]

no thats my problem. I dont even know where to look anymore

[languid pagoda]

I am going to be honest. I do not like this wasmtime api and may try to find alternative runtime bindings or make my own. On the flip side when you are trying to point a c# function to the wasm function you call Function.fromCallback, it has 130 overloads of <T T1 T2 TResult> so that means if I want to write wrapper function I also have to make 130 overloads because not one of them accept Delegate smh

[jaunty junco]

This is the only things that I get in the console:

The first thing is a debug.Log from my player object.
The seccond is only once and is from the loading screen camera.
And the third is from the player camera that should have been initialized in the code above.

[slender nymph]

then answer the question in the message you just replied to

[jaunty junco]

And I dont understand why I get the warning. The loadingscreen eventSystem should be disabled before the player camera gets instantiated

[teal viper]

I'd start with investigation the loading screen. How does it work? How is it supposed to be hidden? Is there a possibility of 2 screens existing, so even if one is closed properly, there is still another one? Or maybe it gets reactivated again? You can confirm these things with logs or breakpoints.

[jaunty junco]

No I checked there is only one loadingscreen and its deactivated when respawning the player. But it looks like that for some reason there are two event systems active when respawning. But I only have one event system and that is a child of the player camera so the old event system should have been destroyed.

[teal viper]

Then it haven't been destroyed. Add logs/breakpoints where it should be destroyed. To see if it corresponds to your expectations

[jaunty junco]

I already did that. I can even see it being destroyed in unity

[teal viper]

Well, that contradicts what you said earlier(that there are 2 of them).

[jaunty junco]

And I just checked. There is only one event system in the scene.

but it gives me the error that there are more than one event system in the scene o_O

[teal viper]

Then you must be creating new ones.

[tacit prism]

trying to learn about state machines right now

for some reason im getting error CS0122 saying that my statemachine is inaccessible due to protection level. However im directly calling the statemachine, afaik

if you want me to put the code in blazebin i can, but everything is fairly small and straightforward, very confused on why im having this issue.

[wintry quarry]

You need to read the error more closely, it will tell you precisely which thing you're trying to access that doesn't have the correct protection level

It's not your "statemachine"

[jaunty junco]

I wrote some code in the EventSystem.cs from uity to print out every event system and its parent when I get that error now. And it only prints one.

[naive pawn]

@jaunty junco are you using additive scene loading?

[teal viper]

Is event system your own class? I wouldn't be using that name, as it might conflict with the unity types.

[jaunty junco]

yeah. but the problem appears when every scene is already loaded for multiple secconds

[naive pawn]

does each scene have its own event system

[jaunty junco]

no its the unity class. I just wrote the code for debug purposes now

[teal viper]

And more importantly confuse us

[jaunty junco]

no there is only one event system

[teal viper]

Then I don't understand what you mean by "wrote some code in EventSystem.cs". If it's unity's file, you can't do that.

[jaunty junco]

you can. Unity gives full code access to things like UI components etc.

[teal viper]

Do you mean that you modified the package source code?

[jaunty junco]

yeah but only with debug.log

Im gonna delete it once I fix this

[teal viper]

And it prints?

[jaunty junco]

Yeah

[teal viper]

Can you show that log in the console(with a callstack) as well as the source code?

[jaunty junco]

yeah one sec. This is my scene structure when running the game. I marked the only eventSystem

[jaunty junco]

source code for what. If I send everything it will be too much

[naive pawn]

try searching t:EventSystem in the hierarchy tab to see if you maybe added an EventSystem on something else by mistake

[teal viper]

I wonder if there is a default one on the canvas...

[teal viper]

Let's start with the log and it's stack trace.

[jaunty junco]

nope ony one event system.

[winged ridge]

One is likely being made and put into don't destroy on load, and the other in the standard hierarchy

[jaunty junco]

Ok I think I know where the error comes from now.

I call the initialize method in the Start and the OnNetworkSpawn()

[teal viper]

You've yet to show the log you "added in the event system"...

[jaunty junco]

No I already checked that.

[jaunty junco]

its the middle one

[tacit prism]

ive messed with the inheritance for a while now and cant find the issue. Statemachine.Switchstate(state) is unavailible. Ive checked all 5 scripts and changed the inheritence, even removed the protected from the PlayerStateMachine but that still didnt fix it. Not asking you to help anymore, as i have to sleep for work tomorrow, but goddamn this shit frazzles my brain too much.

[teal viper]

Great. BTW, you can see that in logs or during brrakpoints(by looking at the callstack).

[jaunty junco]

nvm I already commented that out thats not the problem

[teal viper]

At this point I'd recommend to post in #1390346492019212368 as this is not the correct channel.

[jaunty junco]

But it doesent really have anything to do with networking. Its only on the client side...

[teal viper]

If so, then you should be able to debug it with logs and breakpoints.
Identify the calls that should not be happening. Place a breakpoint/add logs. Check the callstacks, object/reference IDs.

[jaunty junco]

Ive been doing that for the past 4 hours... I dont know what to do anymore thats why I aked here

[teal viper]

Debugging flow is very simple:

• does something happening even though it shouldn't?
• if yes, add logs, breakpoints and see where it is called from and why.
• Does something not happen, even though it should?
• if yes, find the place where it should be called from and investigate why it doesn't.

And we can't help you, since we don't even understand these should happen/shouldnt happen things in you project.

You need to provide exact lines of code that do/don't get called and are related to the issue.

[jaunty junco]

Normaly it should just spawn my player camera and set the player object as the target for cinemachine.

[teal viper]

OK, so it should be called but it doesn't?

[jaunty junco]

This gets executed. But for some reason gets imidiatly destroyed and I cant trace back from where and why

[jaunty junco]

it gets called but it doesent stay

[teal viper]

Add a log in on disable and on destroyed. And look at the callstack.

[jaunty junco]

OMG I GOT IT THANK YOU SO MUCH

One of my team members made the player camera a singleton. And didnt do a propper cleanup on destroy. So it deleted the new camera everytime.

IM GONNA BEAT THIS FUCKER

THANK YOU SO MUCH

i chnage x and z value like -9.5 and knowits wokring but player still not cloide but when he jump andtuch top part of object its colide like there ground exist

That won't work.

i was do that before read your reply what you saing is true thanks i undertsnad but why them my code work when i chnage settings

[ivory flower]

that mean unity teacher lie to me

[eager stratus]

Just to make sure my understanding of LateUpdate is absolutely correct, it's an event that only triggers after all scripts in the scene have completed their Update functions, correct? If so how can I accomplish something like this but for FixedUpdate?

[teal viper]

Script execution order, but I'd recommend not to.
If you need something like that, there is probably an issue with your code architecture.

[eager stratus]

As in I would need to combine the tasks I want to keep from stepping on each other into a single script to make sure they always execute in the proper order?

[teal viper]

Kind of. Doesnt have to be in one script, but you'll need some kind of orchestrator/manager script.

[eager stratus]

The idea is that I have a jump script and a move script, but want to project the gravity vector along a plane after both the move script and jump script have already calculated what vectors they want everything to go in

[teal viper]

Honestly, I wouldn't split movement and jumping into 2 scripts. These seem to be extremely intertwined functionalities.

[eager stratus]

If you say so

[teal viper]

And even more so if you also need to modify the gravity direction.

[cosmic dagger]

I don't think there's a problem to separate jump and move into two different scripts . . .

[hexed terrace]

but why would you?

[charred spoke]

That would be composition based design. Our move and jump scripts for enemies are seperated

[tribal otter]

Hey guys. I'm having an issue with inputs and none of my solutions have worked to solve it. When I start the game, the first time you press pause using Esc(Player input map for pause is bound to esc and I) pause and resume (bound to Esc in the UI input map) both fire, so it appears to the player like nothing happened. It works fine 2nd press onwards or if you initiate pause via I.
I've got a game start initializer that runs a foreach loop to disable all the action maps and then the player map is enabled, and my debug log confirms the input map is set correctly. My input map switcher debugs confirm switching is happening when pause/ui open events happen and their states are correct at the time of the first pause being initiated.
I have call stacks showing both pause and resume are firing from the same input, despite only one action map being active. I've tried a coroutine in my pause state handler to delay the pause bool check in case it was just checking out of date states and it didn't solve it; I've double checked the documentation and confirmed all my inputs are set correctly, so I don't understand why despite the action map being set to player, the UI one is firing, and why it only affects the first attempt.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

[rocky canyon]

first thought, just wait a frame

void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine(EnableInputsNextFrame());
}

IEnumerator EnableInputsNextFrame()
{
    yield return null;
    playerMap.Enable();
}``` second thought has to do with the Event System and `Input System UI Input Module` component (as seen in image)
if so, it might be that, that is getting the rogue input (maybe try disabling the component during a quick test and see if it changes the outcome)
-# that's about all i know about the new input system, sorry.. just hopped on and seen the question.. figured i'd start my day by googling a bit.. and this is as much as i can come up with..
-# maybe check out [#🖱️┃input-system](/guild/489222168727519232/channel/763502300781477948/) for more specialized responses 🍀

[tribal otter]

aye, I tried the wait a frame idea- for whatever reason the first press of esc is firing for both inputs at the same time, so there's no waiting doesn't work, it's like until you've pressed a key, it doesn't matter what input map is "active" or how long you wait, it will register on all of them and only after that will it actually take notice of the map selection (as best I can think to explain it anyways)
I did try fiddle with the input system UI input module and the input action panel and it started firing off warnings about them having to be set a certain way or risk UI inputs not working, but even with ignoring those warnings it didn't change the 1 press 2 action maps fire, so I put it back to what it was.

Didn't know there was an input system channel (isn't on my list) so I'll pop over and check there, thanks o7

[blazing solar]

Are you using the new input system?

[tribal otter]

yeah

[wintry quarry]

You could share your code and explain how you hooked it up to the inputs as a start

[blazing solar]

Can you show us your code setting up the inputs

[blazing solar]

Oh lol

[wintry quarry]

The standard workaround is waiting a frame

[edgy sinew]

⭐ hi all, what are your thoughts on "equipping" a Rigidbody object? (like to the Player's right hand or left hand etc)

Currently I have avoided setting the transform / rotation every frame, by simply Destroy() the Kinematic Rigidbody and SetParent to the Player hand_right. Obviously that's not fantastic - actually ultimately would prefer dynamic RB too.

Would it be valuable to have a child GameObject that has the Rigidbody - and disable that? I wonder when re-enabling if it would trip up the Physics system. Or is "Rigidbody on child GameObject" a no-no 🤔

Maybe I should just leave the Kinematic Rigidbody on and set transform every frame? But that feels inefficient.
Thanks.

[wintry quarry]

Once it's kinematic it will follow its parent object without you doing anything extra

Is your player Rigidbody based or something else?

[edgy sinew]

This is not the case, where did you get that info?

the Player is a CC, but I have an RB version too.

Wait.

[wintry quarry]

experience

[rich robin]

this is the case, you have something else going on if this does not work that way

like for my old game with character controller i had "gravity" coming from animation root motion when i did not know what i was doing XD

[hot wadi]

U would likely have to stick to a kinematic RB in the case of weapon or similar
Kinematic RB does stick to its parent's transform

[edgy sinew]

@wintry quarry @rich robin @hot wadi Wait ... No, no it does not guys.

Kinematic RB does not stick, idk what you're talking about

[wintry quarry]

it might only if the parent is a dynamic RB? I'm pretty sure it does 🤔

[edgy sinew]

itemToTake.transform.SetParent(rightHand.transform);
Destroy(itemToTake.GetComponent<Rigidbody>());
itemToTake.transform.localPosition = new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f);

Okay, sure yeah. Maybe only in that case.

Can confirm - without Destroy the Rigidbody it doesn't follow correctly

[wintry quarry]

are you certain it's set to kinematic?

[upper fable]

Can anyone spot what ive done wrong here?

[edgy sinew]

Yeah

[wintry quarry]

yes you are trying to compare a bool and a Vector3 with ==

[upper fable]

whoops

wrong image

[wintry quarry]

that's exactly what the error says btw

[polar acorn]

You are checking if m_playerInRange is equal to a position. A boolean is not the same thing as a Vector3

[upper fable]

This is what i was concerned about

[wintry quarry]

now you're trying to assign a Vector3 to a bool variable

[polar acorn]

You are setting m_playerInRange to a position. A boolean is not the same thing as a Vector3

[wintry quarry]

only bool can go in a bool

you can't put Vector3 data in a bool variable

bool is only true/false

[edgy sinew]

Pro tip: write out the goal of the code in comments step by step. Like

// Check if object is in range
// Assign object position to ...
// Whatever else

Then you might avoid, uh.. setting a true/false value equal to a transform.position

[upper fable]

Yeah im a very beginner beginner dev

so im just copying things as i go along

[wintry quarry]

you copied something incorrectly then

[upper fable]

but this persons code works and mine doesnt

[edgy sinew]

As soon as possible, switch to "I actually know what this does"

[polar acorn]

Show the tutorial

[wintry quarry]

you copied his code incorrectly

I sure did

OH GOD THERES A COUNTER

alright ill be back to fill in the rest of the 6

thanks yalls

[hot wadi]

Does it stay in the air or just jitter a bit?

[edgy sinew]

@wintry quarry @rich robin It was a weird behaviour where it floats around seeming to react to the parent transform.
⭐ It's because of Interpolate

that a child Kinematic Rigidbody won’t reliably follow its parent when its Interpolate is set

https://discussions.unity.com/t/attach-a-kinematic-child-rigidbody-to-a-parent/916865/7

Thanks guys. I guess that makes sense, interpolate is never used for Kinematic RB anyway right? Since it's moved directly 🤔

[hot wadi]

Probably becuz physics updates happen in FixedUpdate() whereas animations are in LateUpdate()

[edgy sinew]

When interpolation or extrapolation is enabled, the physics system takes control of the Rigidbody’s transform. For this reason, you should follow any direct (non-physics) change to the transform with a Physics.SyncTransforms call.

Unity Scripting API - it seems the root issue is that Interpolation yields control of the transform to the Physics System. Physics.SyncTransforms syncs things back up

[wintry quarry]

yeah

well

it is used if you move the RB via MovePosition

but if you're moving it via moving its Transform parent then interpolation is just an impediment

[hot wadi]

I've never touched those settings so it's new to me too

[edgy sinew]

Wow that wasn't difficult at all. Unity rocks 🗿

[warped meteor]

I am just starting with unity and finished this flappy bird tutorial, he said to try and figure out how to make it so the bird doesnt score once you die, I use the same process that he did in the tutorial to reference another script but it is saying that the script cant be a logic script for whatever reason

heres the bird if thats of any help

I just need to reference the bird so I can have the pipe middle script check if the bird is alive

[edgy sinew]

Your Bird is of the wrong type

[cosmic dagger]

You are trying to get a BirdScript and assign it to a LogicScript . . .

[edgy sinew]

It has to be a BirdScr ^ yeah

[warped meteor]

oh

[wintry quarry]

You defined your Bird variable as a LogicScript on line 5

[warped meteor]

wait so they become their own type?

gotcha

[wintry quarry]

The variable is whatever type you write

[warped meteor]

Thanks

[warped meteor]

that makse sense

[edgy sinew]

They are only, the type that is defined

[warped meteor]

the funny red line is gone yay

[edgy sinew]

You can’t put a string into an int variable, same for a LogicScript into a BirdScript

[hot wadi]

Programming forces u to pay attention to small details

[edgy sinew]

Ignoring small details for long enough is how you end up with 30 runtime bugs 🤣 or unintended behaviors

[warped meteor]

For whatever reason I thought that logic script was the variable type for all scripts

[cosmic dagger]

You wrote that your Bird variable is a LogicScript type, but when using GetComponent you are attempting to get the BirdScript type . . .

[hot wadi]

If it helps, u should stop putting “Script” in the name to avoid confusion. Just write BirdController or LogicManager

[cosmic dagger]

How so?

[warped meteor]

Yeah I think ill do that

[warped meteor]

Because I started unity yesterday

Trying to mod silksong

but gotta learn unity first

In this case the problem is that I can't guarantee that gravity is applied after both the jump script and move script have completed their operations for the physics update

You can create a third Gravity script that has a reference for both the Move and Jump script with custom OnFixedUpdate methods (instead of using FixedUpdate). Inside of the Gravity script, call OnFixedUpdate for Move and Jump in the order you want, then apply/update gravity. Here's an example . . .

   public class Move : MonoBehaviour
   {
       public void OnFixedUpdate() { }
   }

   public class Jump : MonoBehaviour
   {
       public void OnFixedUpdate() { }
   }```
```cs
   public class Gravity : MonoBehaviour
   {
       [SerializeField] private Move _move;
       [SerializeField] private Jump _jump;
       
       [SerializeField] private Vector3 _value;
       [SerializeField] private float _scale = 1f;
       
       private void Awake()
       {
           if (_move == null) _move = GetComponent<Move>();
           if (_jump == null) _jump = GetComponent<Jump>();
       }

       private void FixedUpdate()
       {
           _move.OnFixedUpdate();
           _jump.OnFixedUpdate();
           
           // Apply gravity here. This is random code, BTW!
           _value = Physics.gravity * (_scale * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
           
       }
   }```
