just have them listen for a switch and pass the component from the switched vehicle

Deactivate current car GameObject
Move position / rotation of other car GameObject to this one
Activate other car GameObject

#

^ method that avoids any Component transfer

#

(You do have 2 copies of the same Component with this way though)

rich adder
#

I think they mean if they have scripts referencing the vehicle1 component, now if you activate object 2 they dont know not to interact with vehicle 1

Is it bad practice having a class that inherits another class that inherits MonoBehavior? As in Goblin : Enemy : MonoBehavior?

rich adder
#

normal inheritance? why would it bad practice

#

its like one of the important features of the language

spring otter
#

I think I saw someone saying this here before, @grand snow I think? I'm not sure, could be fake news, sorry if it wasn't you
I think the person said that composition was better most of the time and keeping inheritance strictly to non-monobehavior classes

grand snow
#

Erm no I think inheritance with mono behaviours is fine

spring otter
#

Ah, I see, thanks and sorry for the random tag lol

rich adder
#

just know the limitations of inheritance and use it where it makes sense to do

#

some things using interfaces makes more sense , say a ITarget and so on

How do I FORCE Unity to write some data from play mode into a prefab?
I have data I can only get in play mode and I need to save it.

#

I can't just copy-paste it because its more than one field and I need to make sure the data is completely identical, no chance of floating point truncation changing it because I need reproducable data

# 
        visualizer.savedBugStartPosition = buggedPacket.StartPosition;
        visualizer.savedBugEndPosition = buggedPacket.EndPosition;
        EditorUtility.SetDirty(visualizer);
        UnityEditor.SceneManagement.EditorSceneManager.MarkSceneDirty(visualizer.gameObject.scene);```

I tried this but you cant run it in play mode

So if I make a mesh from scratch in code is there a reason it might end up all weird and see-through like this? I know it's not the material because it doesn't do this when placed on primitives and I'm absolutely certain that I called for the normals to be recalculated. The only thing I can think of is the order of the vertices to make triangles, but I thought that only dictated what direction the face is facing. I was under the impression that triangle 2, 6, 7 would have the same normals as triangle 6, 7, 2

beginner coding question.
I have not done much beyond the basic with InputSystem.

from a future proofing standpoint, or even just a coding one, is there any reason Not to use the Lambda over the verbose?

movementAction.performed += theInput => MovementInput = theInput.ReadValue<Vector2>();

should i use the more verbose way since perhaps i may need to add other things to the functions?

 HandleMovement(InputAction.CallbackContext theInput)
{
    MovementInput = theInput.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}

void OnEnable()
{
    movementAction.performed += HandleMovement;
}

void OnDisable()
{
    movementAction.performed -= HandleMovement;
}
tranquil forge
#

i dont think the you can deregister with the lambda

dark laurel
#

You use the verbose method because you can "unsubscribe" from it later, and the garbage collector can clean up the objects in memory when you're done with them.

If you're subscribing and not unsubscribing - that's a memory leak. How bad it is depends on how big the objects are and how many of them you make.

near wadi
#

i think another can handle it.. I may be wrong

movementAction.cancelled += theInput => MovementInput = Vector2.zero
tranquil forge
#

thats another event now

dark laurel
#

No, this creates two subscriptions

near wadi
#

cool deal, thanks, both of you. i will stick with the usual way, (verbose)

dark laurel
#

There's actually another side effect / bug, beyond just the memory leak - if you accidentally subscribe to something twice (or more) then you'll get your lambda called for each of them.

near wadi
#

Ouch! super cool. you've saved me an endless headache. thank you 🙂

you need to specify which of the namespaces you want to reference when using Scene, both contain Scene, you can write your namespace infront

grand snow

your ide probably put it there for you by mistake

yeah i was about to say get rid of it but wasnt sure if they need it or not

tender mirage

probably but also the UnityEditor namespace wont exist in builds and will cause compile errors then

So delete! 🗑️

how to handle entering/exiting before passing trough the same trigger zone, like moving into the zone and immediately move back instead of coming trough it?
feels like a trivial problem, but I can't come up with something not very dirty, because I'm using triggers very rarely, lol.
(I'm making something like a trigger volumes for camera switch btw)

grand snow
short gust
# grand snow whats the actual issue, detecting entry/exit or something else?

I don't want to fill my rooms with the trigger colliders in every corner to enable the camera, so I want to use the zones only on entrances to the camera view angle. but, I need somehow filter "passing trough the trigger" from just "touching the trigger and move back".
like, I tried with counters and bools, but it feels a bit dirty, heh. maybe I'm overthinking it.

grand snow
short gust
keen dew
#

Often you'd have two triggers, one inside the entrance and one outside. Entering the inside trigger enables the inside camera and the outside trigger enables the outside camera

grand snow
#

If both thin I don't think it would be reliable

#

Which is why I'd just have trigger colliders to mark the areas themselves

keen dew
#

They don't need to be thin

grand snow
#

Oh like have it a tad inside the room

keen dew
#

The inside trigger can be as large as the room and the outside trigger as large as needed as long as it doesn't overlap, if it only sets the camera. It doesn't matter if you enter the same trigger again if the camera is already set

#

Like this, the blue trigger sets the inside camera and the green sets the outside camera

triggers.png
short gust
#

oh, yeah, sounds better than some hacky count/position shenanigans, heh.
thanks!

#

I just wanted to setup it with a single trigger to detect all fo that for no reason, heh.

grand snow
#

But what if the player is inside the green, touches the blue and exits the blue back to the green?

#

You need sufficient space so you can't enter one and still be inside another

Hi, when I open up my Unity editor a black window opens along with it in full screen. It looks like a terminal but I can't type in it and it's very wierd. Is that normal behavior?

I already tried restarting and even completely reinstalling the editor from scratch. It wasn't there on the first start but after simulating once it came back. If I close it the whole editor closes too!

and could you be more specific as to how exactly it "isn't working"? do you get errors, does it do something weird, does it not do anything at all? etc

#

sure, it's specifically stuff that derives from ScriptableObject and MonoBehaviour (iirc) that unity enforces to be in separate files

sonic dome
#

Understood thanks

naive pawn
#

c# allows you to put multiple classes in a file (hence no compiler error) but you still shouldn't have them all in a single file for the sake of logical grouping - here, the enum directly relates to InventoryItem, so it could be in the same file as that

(though, do you need the enum at all?)

I would just get used to using a separate file for everything. It makes it easier to find and edit the type when needed . . .

For a task that runs each frame after an event (button pressed for example), is it more efficient to use coroutine or just a bool to check whether it should be running?

{
    while (transform.position.x != _currentLane)
    {
        transform.position = new Vector3(
            Mathf.MoveTowards(transform.position.x, _currentLane, Time.deltaTime * _speedChangeLane),
            transform.position.y,
            transform.position.z
        );
        yield return null;
    }
}```
or
```if(transform.position.x != _currentLane)
{
    transform.position = new Vector3(
            Mathf.MoveTowards(transform.position.x, _currentLane, Time.deltaTime * _speedChangeLane),
            transform.position.y,
            transform.position.z
    ;
}```
naive pawn
#

don't worry about efficiency

#

think about what makes sense

#

consider if it might be triggerable again while it's still going on

hot wadi
#

That is possible for both methods

naive pawn
#

i mean, do you want it to be

ivory bobcat
naive pawn
#

and how do you want to handle the logic for that

cosmic dagger
naive pawn
#

draw/plan that logic out, and implement it according to the logic

hot wadi
naive pawn
#

ooh but it might not work if it were parented

hot wadi
ivory bobcat
#

It would be similar to the bool alternative but allowing you to interchange the behavior, if necessary.

hot wadi
#

I see

#

Thanks for the help

hallow acorn
#

is it more efficient to use nested for loops to check a dictionary with a vector2Int as a key, or to use a foreach? does it make a difference?

naive pawn
#

use what makes sense

hexed terrace
#

just use .Contains ?

naive pawn
#

there is a difference if the entries of your dictionary are sparse, but in that case, it wouldn't that much sense to use a for loop anyways

hexed terrace
#

no need for a loop of a dictionary when checking if it contains a key

hallow acorn
hallow acorn
naive pawn
#

the nested for treats it like a grid
the foreach treats it like a dictionary
if the dictionary represents a grid, there's no difference - use what makes sense for the specific task

hallow acorn

ahh okay that makes sense thanks

hi UnityChanwow
I am currently working on the timeline of unity to make some cutscene but is there better way than just creating a empty object with the timeline on in the scene?

teal viper
floral garden
#

yeah , the organization will be really messy, how about i create a scene only for a timeline?

#

(i will get a lot of cutscene so i am searching a cleaner way to make it)

hallow acorn
#

how can i make this part of my code less heavy on the cpu and more suitable for generating in realtime? rn my fps drops from 350 to 90 as soon as a new chunk is generated. https://paste.ofcode.org/LMMSHXj3FJDEwTgBRSnLYV thanks in advance

#

(ik its prolly a complete mess)

floral garden
#

rasterizer ? UnityChanThink

teal viper
hallow acorn
floral garden
#

the biggest problem in your code is you have 6 loop

#

3 extremely big

# 
        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                for (int z = 0; z < width; z++)

those are what making your fps drop intensly

hallow acorn
#

i think i doint have to explain which frame it dropped to 9 frames right?

yeah as john said, you can maybe use a async fonction?

#

tbh i have no idea how i should implement a coroutine into this

naive pawn
#

oh good lord 5 nested loops?

#

out of curiosity, what are width and height here

floral garden
# hallow acorn whats that?

async is not managed by unity but work on multiple threat , coroutine is managed by unity and execute the function every frame
an exemple

    private IEnumerator DisplayLine(string line)
    {
        for (int i = 1; i < lineLen; i++)
        {
            dialogueText.maxVisibleCharacters = i;
            if (_playerInputHandler.GetSubmitPressed() && i > 3)
            {
                dialogueText.maxVisibleCharacters = lineLen;
                break;
            }
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(typingSpeed); // wait n second
        }
    }
hallow acorn

#

jesus

floral garden
#

but in task is same

naive pawn
#

so it's running the task 1966080 times

floral garden
hallow acorn
floral garden
#

well

#

i think , in this case, use async UniTask is better than using coroutine

naive pawn
#

are vertices and triangles Lists?

hallow acorn
naive pawn
#

do you need to make 2M element lists

#

what are you using that data for

finite pond
#

I was wondering if anyone has a way of setting up a Wheel controller and force feedback or have any assets that I can use to get it to work with different types of wheels

naive pawn
#

that's gonna be a lot of copying internally

hallow acorn
#

marching cubes algorithm

naive pawn
#

if you do need the data, you could pre-allocate it to avoid copying

hallow acorn
naive pawn
#

do you know how lists work internally? just briefly

hallow acorn
#

not exactly tbh

naive pawn
#

so basically, lists work by having an array inside
if that array gets full, it creates a new one that's bigger and then copies all the data to the new one

#

so if you do like, for (int i = 0; i < 200000; i++) list.Add(i);, a lot of work is being done just to move existing data to a new array

hallow acorn
#

thats about what i thought it would do but as i think about it it doesnt really sound very great

naive pawn
#

you can avoid that by telling the list to reserve a large array to begin with, if you know how much space you'll need, like in this case

hallow acorn
naive pawn
naive pawn

#

you call that after you clear it

floral garden
#

doesn't we call it before asigning ?

naive pawn
#

..which is after the Clear call

floral garden
#

oh

#

my bad

naive pawn
#

you don't need to ensurecapacity 2M times

#

just once is enough

hallow acorn
#

how do i call that? i dont understand

floral garden
#

something like this i think

image.png
#

list is same

naive pawn
#

don't need to reconstruct it

floral garden
#

oh

naive pawn
#

bruh what this is a new method?

#

this is a fundamental operation, what is .net on

floral garden
#

if we are in c i had use reallocate lmao

naive pawn
hallow acorn
#

do i do that with my triangles too? what size should i give it?

floral garden
naive pawn
naive pawn
floral garden
hallow acorn
#

dont feel any noticeable difference but its probably a lot more efficient than before. how do i use an async function or coroutine for my functions?

naive pawn
#

well since you're reusing the list, this'll only really help with the first time it's called

#

oh, though another thing.. i guess you could also reassign instead of clearing...

#

hm one sec

#

a new list could defer the O(n) clearing to the GC, but also require a new allocation.. that may or may not be worse

hallow acorn
#

bro what

floral garden
#

hahahaa

hallow acorn
#

i like your funny words magic man

floral garden
#

GC mean garbage collector, he is removing every instance that you are not using anymore

#

O(n) mean the nombre of iteration your computor need to claim the task

#

or something

hallow acorn
#

i think we still need to address the elephant in the room meaning all this being executed in a single frame

floral garden
#

it is too heavy for one frame

hallow acorn
#

yea thats what i mean

#

how do i break it up into a little less giant tasks for my cpu?

floral garden
#

a simple use of coroutine is

    private IEnumerator MarchCubes()
    {
        vertices.Clear();
        triangles.Clear();

        for (int x = 0; x < width; x++)
        {
            for (int y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                for (int z = 0; z < width; z++)
                {
                    float[] cubeCorners = new float[8];

                    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
                    {
                        Vector3Int corner = new Vector3Int(x, y, z) + MarchingTable.Corners[i];
                        cubeCorners[i] = heights[corner.x, corner.y, corner.z];
                    }

                    MarchCube(new Vector3(x, y, z), GetConfigurationIndex(cubeCorners));
                }
            }                    
            yield return null; // < == this prevent that loop being call in one frame and late it to the next frame
        }
    }
hallow acorn
#

thats a lot simpler than i thought

#

thanks a lot

floral garden
#

coroutine is very easy

hallow acorn
#

dont have a lot of experiences with them to be honest

#

i used them in my chunkManager but thats mostly it

floral garden
hallow acorn
#

prolly because i usually dont make algorithms as expensive as this one

hallow acorn

if you want it go faster ( because here i split it into a lot) you can move the yield return one line down

Or evaluate relative to time and yield when the time limit is up - 16ms or something.

if (Time.time > limit)

I want to communicate about the GameObject named "collider" who is a child of the GameObject named "Feet", who is a child of the GameObject named "Player". How do I most simply communicate that specific GameObject to you? Would I write to you, "The GameObject Player.Feet.collider"?

sorry that I am asking this question in a weird way

since there's only one Feet object, you could say "Feet's collider" too

public function/method
void is a return type.. its the wrong terminology to use..
just a tip for later 👍

# 
public void Deploy()
{
    // executes logic, returns nothing
}``` vs
```cs
public int GetAmmoCount()
{
    // executes logic, returns an int
    return 10;
}```
#

both are methods ^

then my 2nd guess is somethings setting it to null

#

code reassigning it to something it cant find

naive pawn
#

you told it to assign something there

mortal grove

it happens to assign null

if u assign it in the editor u shouldn't need to assign it in script

thats all that touches it

what's the goal

rocky canyon
mortal grove
rocky canyon

mortal grove
naive pawn
rocky canyon
#

context always helps 👍

naive pawn
#

wouldn't you want to update beans to some random number upon something happening, rather than it being set once?

naive pawn
rocky canyon
#

ok cool 👍

mortal grove
#

`public class MORE_BEANS : MonoBehaviour
{
public TMP_Text BeansText;
private int beans = 1;
// Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
public void AddBeans()
{
beans++;
BeansText.text = "Beans = " + beans;

}
void Start()
{

}

void Update()
{
    
}

}`

naive pawn
#

that isn't really any context at all

#

write a description of what you want to happen

#

step away from the code for a second

rocky canyon
# 
public class MORE_BEANS : MonoBehaviour
{
    public TMP_Text BeansText;
    private int beans = 1;
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the       MonoBehaviour is created
    public void AddBeans()
    {
        beans++;
        BeansText.text = "Beans = " + beans;
    }
    void Start()
    {
    }

    void Update()
    {       
    }
}```
naive pawn
#

what is the goal

rocky canyon
#

yea theres no context there lolio

naive pawn
mortal grove
# naive pawn what is the goal

The goal is to have the output of Beans++ be whatever the random number is example

Random number is 8

Beans = Random number/8

rocky canyon
#

laying out a script is a great idea.. i do it all the time...

// this should happen first
// now i want this to happen
// this method should do this```

and then you fill it in a little at a time
naive pawn
#

when should this happen

#

when AddBeans is called? when CreateBeansPercent is called?

#

what is the flow supposed to be here

mortal grove
feral shuttle
#

you want to add a random number of beans to the total

mortal grove
naive pawn
#

that's all you had to say man

#

that's what we're looking for when we ask "what are you trying to do"

#

this does not relate to the private int beans = 1; line at all (hence the x/y problem)

#

beans++ adds exactly 1.
if you want to add a random number, you would do beans += [random number]; in place of that

#

if you want that random number to come from CreateBeansPercent, then that should also return an int (and BeansPercent should maybe not be a member, but a local variable instead.)

rocky canyon
#

holy crap.. does this affect all audiolisteners? 👀
(im working on a loading/menu/setup)

i thought this was an error and my IDE just wasn't catching it.. but after making sure it was configured it seems like it applies to all the audiolisteners??

image.png
naive pawn
rocky canyon
#

ya i had no clue

mortal grove
naive pawn
#

well, not exactly a singleton

#

you can have at most one in the loaded scenes

rocky canyon
#

yea "enforces behaviour like a singleton

#

but still

#

interesting.. i never knew

naive pawn
rocky canyon
#

i think imma still use a master mixer and do it that way

#

but its interesting i could simply change em all at once via the listenors

mortal grove
naive pawn
#

well first off, it's in a different class, so that wouldn't work
secondly, you spelt it differently

#

thirdly, having BeansPercent as a state of sorts just doesn't make sense

naive pawn
#

put a little thought into the structure and flow of your code

rocky canyon
#

wow.. the things u learn.. 😅

mortal grove
#

Im still confused

naive pawn
naive pawn
mortal grove
rocky canyon

you should not do that

#

oh you mean BeansPercent?

what's the name of the class that has CreateBeansPercent, for ease of communication

Can someone help me? How would I make a sound play in Start()

#

(ping me)

naive pawn
#

for basic stuff regarding that you can just google audiosource, or really just unity audio

worthy raptor
#

okie dokie

naive pawn
# mortal grove 'public class RNG : MonoBehaviour'

so right now what you have has BeansPercent as a member of RNG, meaning that each RNG has a "beans percent"
that doesn't really make sense - beans percent is the result of the specific operation, create beans percent, not something to do with RNG as a whole

so first off, RNG does not need to exist at all, let alone as a component. you're pulling responsibility over beans into a separate class

rocky canyon
# worthy raptor Can someone help me? How would I make a sound play in Start() 
  {
        // --- PLAY METHOD ---
        // Plays the clip assigned to audioSrc.clip
        audioSrc.clip = clip;
        audioSrc.Stop();  // Redudant here, but useful in other places to stop any audio thats already playing.. and then..
        audioSrc.Play();  // plays the clip from the start

        // --- PLAYONESHOT METHOD ---
        // Plays a clip immediately, without affecting the currently assigned clip
        audioSrc.PlayOneShot(clip, 1f); // 1f = volume scale
    }```
worthy raptor
naive pawn
#

making a member into a local variable would be like this

- int x;
  
  void Method() {
-   x = y;
+   int x = y;
  }
grand snow
rocky canyon
# worthy raptor thanks

might want to check out the two different Methods.. and see which one fits ur use-case better

mortal grove
rocky canyon
#

OneShot() can call a clip just once regardless of what clip u already have assigned

naive pawn
rocky canyon
naive pawn
#

@mortal grove you really need to just step back and plan things out so they're in places that make sense

mortal grove
naive pawn
#

why is the class you sent before "MORE_BEANS"

rocky canyon
#

pretty easily to do.. since u alrady have variables

naive pawn
#

i have a feeling it just..doesn't need to exist

rocky canyon
# mortal grove Ima try to figure this out give me a second. 
    // --- logic method ---
    public void UpdateBeans()
    {
        // do the math/logic to your actual variables
        DisplayBeans(); // now Update the UI w/ those new values
    }

    // --- display method ---
    public void DisplayBeans()
    {
        beansText.text = $"Beans: {beans}";
    }```
#

beansText.text = $"Beans: {beans}"; is (String-Interpolation) btw, same thing as saying
beansText.text = "Beans:" + beans.ToString(); (Concatenation)

#

makes it easier to add ur variables into a string
The time is: {time} on the day of: {day}

grand snow
#

Well it's not the same, it's better!

rocky canyon
#

lol.

#

ngl there.. It is better.. never went back to concatenation

#

always had to go back and add extra spaces between the +s

Youre not going to be able to return a value from the randomly generated number if you use a void
If you were to have a method to do random generation and addition and then pass your value of beans through that method i think it that would work
You wouldnt be able to set beans = to the local variable in the method youd pass your beans through the method i think

naive pawn
feral shuttle
#

In runtime, when I set the parent of my Player gameobject (that may be rotated on its Y axis) to a gameobject that is rotated on any axis, the scale of my Player gameobject changes by really small amounts (eg: from 1 to 1.000001). As a result, if I repeatedly change parent to and from rotated objects, the player's scale may gradually increase or decrease. Also note that the scale of the player and the scale of its parent in all scenarios is (1, 1, 1).
Is this something I should worry about?

errant knot
naive pawn
#

passing a reference just to add to it with a single value?

#

just use the return type

#

it makes much more sense, it's straightforward, it's logic that you actually expect

naive pawn

#

that syntax is crazy af

naive pawn
errant knot
mortal grove
#

Ima take a break because I do not understand anything yall are saying.

naive pawn
#

not sure what scenario you're referring to there?

errant knot
#

Thus i would need to use passthrough yeah

naive pawn
#

it's just using the method call as a value

#

it's a very basic thing

errant knot
#

Yeah thays what i meant

#

It would be like BeansGenerator(beans) ya?

naive pawn
#

whoops, didn't mean to send that yet

rich adder
naive pawn
#

one of these scenarios is a lot simpler and much easier to read

void A() {
  int x = 0;
  B(ref x);
}

void B(ref int x) {
  x += 2;
}
``````cs
void A() {
  int x = 0;
  x += B();
}

int B() {
  return 2;
}
errant knot
naive pawn
#

probably not

#

but it doesn't matter

#

the point is, this makes way more sense

errant knot
#

Mmmhm

naive pawn
#

what "passthrough" method are you referring to anyways

#

that's not a term used for singular function calls

what the hell is a "passthrough" I never heard of it

rich adder

passthrough afaik is just, well, passing through a layer unaffected

A(x, y, z);

void A(int x, int y, int z) {
  for (int i = 0; i < x; i++) B(y, z + 4);
}

void B(int y, int z) { /* ... */ }
```in this case, there is passthrough on `y` in the call to `B`

it is not the same as just *passing* an argument

then pick your build thats currently open

solid oyster
#

done that but im not getting any error messages

#

im so confused ive been tryna solve this shit for so long

rich adder
grand snow
#

you can also attach a debugger if you enable script debugging before building

#

either way more information would help narrow down what is null

solid oyster
#

does this help

#

this is the result i get in console after switching dropdown

rich adder
solid oyster
rich adder
#

you should probably debug also dropdown to see if thats not null

#

though if its grabbing the correct values its probably not null

solid oyster
#

maybe the colour data is being lost when switching scenes?

naive pawn
radiant voidBOT
rich adder
#

objects reset on scene switch

solid oyster
rich adder
#

if you change it in one scene, then move into another scene, unless you are runing playeprefs.Get again all is lost unless it was DDOL

grand snow
rich adder
#

so they should make sure its running Get again in second scene to grab their stored int

grand snow
#

Ah right. Their script uses Start() to get and apply so its probably okay

#

if the error isnt even related to that script i will smh

rich adder
#

yea I had a feeling that might been case too

#

cause the logs are printing and they are not mentioning any NRE now 😔

solid oyster
#

this is what i was trying to get

#

and ss

rich adder
#

what steps you did to cause this error to appear

solid oyster
#

im assuming cs:14 refers to line 14

image.png
rich adder
#

you probably have a copy of this script somewhere
(if second script has null ref above changeColor() its not gonna run that function and probably why you dont see the second logs that print dropdown as null)

#

do you happen to know if this problem is resolved? it's not clear to me from the issue comments.

solid oyster
#

i just realized this now but the actual prefab that has the material changing colour doesnt get updated in the project window

#

but in runtime it does

rich adder
solid oyster
#

is there a way to not create a copy

#

and have it apply the changed material to the target

rich adder
#

you modify the sharedMaterial

#

that will change it to every object with that same material though

solid oyster
#

thats what i want

#

so this is modifying material? how do i modify shared material

image.png
rich adder
#

wait targetColour is a material it should be changing it globally no ?

#

I forget how Unity does it

solid oyster
#

i have no clue

rich adder
#

then test the material thing

grand snow
#

Materials are shared until instanced (so modifying the material asset will affect everything using it)

rich adder
#

but is it instanced at runtime ? i forget tbh

#

i usually go through the renderer

grand snow
#

no only when you access material from mesh renderer

#

THEN unity makes an instance for you

hardy wing
#

didnt it depend on whether you access .material or .sharedMaterial?

grand snow
rich adder
grand snow
#

Here they have a serialized ref to a material so this is not relevent

rich adder
#

so changes to color of the serialized material will persist in project ? (at runtime)

grand snow
#

changes to assets do yea even post play

rich adder
#

right..makes sense

grand snow
#

anyway like I said, the doc page for renderer.material mentions that it makes an instance for you

hardy wing
#

oh thats interesting, how do you access asset via code though? .material and .sharedMaterial are not the asset as far as i understood now.

grand snow
#

.sharedMaterial just ensures it wont make an instance unique for this renderer for you

rich adder
grand snow
#

yes.
and to be clear. UI graphics have no such behaviour, no auto instancing happens for them

hardy wing
#

yeah but only a runtime instance right

rich adder
#

I forgot if you have to dispose it manually or unity does it for it

#

nvm I think thats only if you create it with new()

rich adder
slender nymph
rich adder
#

ah okay thought so UnityChanThumbsUp

solid oyster
rich adder
#

I just ended up making materials in editor and just swap them instead of directly changing material properies.. avoids heaaches

rich adder
solid oyster
#

i dont think there is a copy

solid oyster
rich adder
#

the logs in changecolour method say dropdown is there but thats probably from the script in which is assigned

#

put Debug.Log($" {name} trying to access {dropdown}", gameObject); in start before the PlayerPrefs line

#

could be.. the other one runs start, dropdown is null, doesnt run anything else underneath (changeColour)..

and changeColour method if you're calling it again via Inspector / Unity event thats only linked to one script and why it wont try to run on the second script

solid oyster
#

the canvas is called settingmenuui

ima be honest i think i might just create seperate materials for each colouir will that sovle my problem?

i want to push my code to github where can i find a gitignore file?

red igloo
# rich adder how did you verify that

well the bool is visable in the inspector and I see it not checked and in the other script where my player could slam the ground I did a if statement that only when the player hasjumped the slam button can be pressed. Tried it out and I could no longer slam

So is there a way to map a ulong to a long then back again?

rich adder
languid pagoda
#

They are both 64 bit values so there should be a way right?

naive pawn

such as?

languid pagoda
rich adder
red igloo
naive pawn
sonic dome
#

do i need all this stuff?

image.png
naive pawn
#

yes

rich adder
#

meta files are very important

naive pawn
#

those are not "randomass files", those are parts of assets

rich adder
#

without them all your references will break

sonic dome
#

okay then seems fine now thanks

naive pawn
#

if they're under /Assets, chances are you want them

languid pagoda
naive pawn
#

you don't want stuff under Library

naive pawn
languid pagoda
#

perfect

naive pawn
#

basically - they both have 2^64 possible values, and half of them map to different ranges of integers

#

0x1000 0000 0000 0000 read as a ulong is 2^63, but read as a long it's -2^63
0xFFFF FFFF FFFF FFFF read as a ulong is 2^64 - 1, but read as a long it's -1

languid pagoda
#

My scripting language uses long* for the parameters of methods calling the host, so im using this as a way to pass ulongs to the scripting runtime and back which does not care what the value is it just needs to store a reference to it.

#

so this will work perfectly

#

thank you

rich adder
#

also [SerializeField] public

#

you dont need to serialize public variables, also since its public make sure you aint changing this elsewhere

#

if you need things to be public, its usually better to just keep them as read only / public get and private set variables

This is what I've got in the ground slam script and it doesn't work anymore when I add hasJumped

can someone tell me what this means and how to fix it? the foreach is causing this error: "InvalidOperationException: Collection was modified; enumeration operation may not execute.

in a foreach loop*

naive pawn
#

with its enumerator* (which a foreach uses)

rich adder
#

basically foreach makes it immutable

#

for loop works, but you want to do it in reverse because you will have items being skipped

hallow acorn
#

should i add it to another collection and and remove it after iterating over it?

naive pawn
naive pawn
rich adder
#

oh true true

hallow acorn
red igloo
# red igloo

So its working then? When I add it to slam script the player can no longer slam anymore

Capture.PNG
naive pawn
#

hmm, some languages have the iterator (or enumerator in c#'s case) implement a delete method, seems like c# doesn't

rich adder
# red igloo

not sure how this helps.. did you put the log where I said ?

#

Debug.Log($" hasJumped ? {hasJumped}");
where you call
hasJumped = false
on landing

#

if its being called then you will know its doing it prematurely and should probably fix the bigger problem

Hi,
Need opinions of this, I am implementing a full body player controller and I am trying to understand if the Unity 6 provided rigging package is sufficient or is it a must to have finalIK? Looking at finalIK there's not much of documentation.

What I am trying to achieve is full body controller such as ArmA / Tarkov, but on top of that the hands placement is different per gun right, so need to be able to solve hand placement on the rifle grip and if the weapon has a front grip, if not then use handguard etc. Doing the logics for it is straightforward, just check gun components etc but not sure how to deal with IK for the body movement and different grip styles plus if finalIK makes it much easier and is more performant or its a waste of $$$

solar hill
#

🤔 its pretty much a great solution for getting full body true fps working correctly

#

its not a one click template or anything but its a huge set of tools including ik implementations for exactly the things you mention such as different grip styles etc.

#

its pretty robust and gets updated regularly

naive pawn
stray fog
naive pawn
#

was the question not about IK

stray fog
solar hill
#

this isnt that kind of framework.

#

thats why i specifically noted its not a one click template

#

the great thing is that its a set of tools that you can use individually, like you can use their ik system and nothing else

#

its very modular and easily expandable

stray fog
solar hill
#

i mean thats fair yeah having a dependancy on someone elses systems is not that great in the long run

#

however i still implore you to at least check out some of their videos and skim the documentation

#

before skipping on it completely

stray fog
# solar hill before skipping on it completely

Sadly I will skip this one, I rather implement a solution purely from my own work for my requirements
A) Actually learn something
B) Not worry about blockers down the road

But I do appreciate the input and I hope you'd have more inputs towards a own system or gists I can look at 🤣

solar hill
#

welp good luck then lol

#

but to answer your original question finalik might be a worthwhile investment then

#

if youre planning on doing everything else from scratch

rich adder
#

yea FinalIK is a bit more polished than the one unity made (Animation Rigging)

stray fog
#

Awesome I'll buy it now but is there a like discord or somewhere I can get help with it? I look at their website and their doc is very very lacking

solar hill
#

yes they do have a discord

#

its listed on the unity page

stray fog
#

ouch it looks dead argh

rich adder
#

how much could you really be talking about a simple asset.. its pretty straight forward

stray fog
#

Let me buy and try lol

rich adder
#

I'm sure if you have specific issues you can always DM or Email them

solar hill
#

i feel like the documentation is pretty standard

#

all things considered

#

theres also a shit ton of youtube videos

stray fog
#

Bought it, will give it a try thanks guys.

Hey @solar hill @rich adder im getting there with finalIK but seeing some sort of offsets between camera and view. This is my code https://gist.github.com/Alwandy/3bcd7050cd3baac1501cb6fa445009a4 what would be the best approach? Or am I doing it wrong? Trying to base it some off https://matthew-isidore.ovh/unity-tutorial-full-body-fps-controller-part-2-upperbody-ik/

Is there a way to set a variable in the inspector using binary?

#

0bXXXX doesn't work

ivory bobcat
#

Wouldn't an integer suffice?

wintry quarry
ivory bobcat
#

Ah, unless you wanted ones and zeros.. string.

wintry quarry
#

you could make a bunch of checkboxes with a custom editor - one for each bit

nocturne parcel
nocturne parcel
wintry quarry
#

you could also write a custom property drawer

#

that takes a string

#

and parses it as binary into a byte or int field

#

e.g.

[MyCustomAttribute]
public byte myField;``` and write a custom property drawer for the MyCustomAttribute attribute

Sure, thank you

Anyone able to help me figure out why I'm getting this error each time I open up my project? I tried remaking my camera entirely but it doesn't seem to help once I reopen the game.

Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 1256.000000, 159.000000, 0.000000) (Camera rect 0 0 1527 518)

#

Nothing seems wrong per se, the camera still seems to operate normally. Just wondering if I should fix something.

Not to stackoverflow you with an indirect answer but curious on what your use-case is for using typeof() in build in a scenario where your considering potential overhead?

#

Not inherently a wrong thing to do im just curious

did they change the syntax? cuz earlier it was like this only
