In my WEBGl build the cursor isnt hiding with Cursor.visible = false;

#

Can someone help me out?

naive pawn
#

i believe that is not supported for security reasons misremembered

fading marten
#

well hang on I want to use the LookObritX's inputvalue because it tells me exactly how much input is being put in there

#

If I can read it then it would be the same as the inputsystem

polar acorn
#

That's what you want

The clicking and the image cursor that follows the cursor work fine

fading marten

#

Just the real cursor doesnt hide

wintry quarry

There are no errors

polar acorn

That's the value it's reading from the input action you've told it to listen for

The thing you dragged in here

naive pawn
#

the input system can tell you when there's mouse input, or you can ask if there's mouse input

burnt perch
#

Ive found the reason, because WebGL can only make the invisible cursor after youve clicked once in the game, so it ignores this first hiding of the cursor

fading marten

but I don't know how it does that

it did that itself

So, check out the link I sent for how to use the Input System

#

why cant I change the tracking target of a CinemachineCamera at runtime ? None of Follow, LookAt, Target is working am I crazy or

wintry quarry
steady blade
#

No errors and the code is running, this is one of the code I tried, found online

  if (_camera != null)
  {
      CinemachineBrain cinemachineBrain = _camera.GetComponent<CinemachineBrain>();
      if (cinemachineBrain != null)
      {
          ICinemachineCamera virtualICamera = cinemachineBrain.ActiveVirtualCamera;
          if (virtualICamera is Component component)
          {
              var comp = component.GetComponent<CinemachineCamera>();
              var temp = comp.Target;
              temp.TrackingTarget = _transform;
              comp.Target = temp;
          }
          else
          {
              Debug.LogError("Active virtual camera is not a CinemachineVirtualCamera.");
          }
      }
      else
      {
          Debug.LogError("Main camera does not have a CinemachineBrain component.");
      }
  }

but i've also tried basic things like

_cinemachineCamera.Follow = _transform;

In play mode in the inspector the field stays empty

slender nymph
#

how have you confirmed that code is running

steady blade
#

I put a Debug.Log earlier and it showed in console I removed it in what I sent

slender nymph
#

where was the log and what did it print. and for future reference don't remove logs when sharing your code

steady blade
#

it was just below var comp = component.GetComponent<CinemachineCamera>(); and it was Debug.Log("Here", comp); it showed and when I clicked the log it pointed to the correct object in the scene

#

Ok nvm it works, I forgot to fill the _transform serialize field in the inspector

#

fck me

#

In my WebGL build, the video player doesnt run, anyone knows why?

wintry quarry
burnt perch
#

Ill try that

#

Embedded video clips are not supported by the WebGL player: Assets/Sprites/InicioFinal/Cutscenes/Cutscene Inicio.mp4. Use the Video Player component's URL option instead.

Yup... What a pain

grand snow
#

how would a virtual camera not be Component

naive pawn
#

not sure what exactly you're referring to, but i tried googling that for unity, and it gave cinemachine virtual cameras which did seem to be components

grand snow
#

doing the as cast in an if is what i mean

#

as casts are for when you want to silently handle a failed cast

naive pawn
#

im confused, what's the issue here

#

oh, i didn't notice this was related to a previous convo

grand snow
#

something something threads

naive pawn
#

CinemachineBrain.ActiveVirtualCamera is typed as ICinemachineCamera which is an interface

grand snow
#

specifically if (virtualICamera is Component component)

#

very unlikely we decided to make our own virtual camera thats also not component

#

anyway its not that important

naive pawn
#

im so confused what you're trying to say...

#

well, i see CinemachineCamera implements ICinemachineCamera
are you trying to say the cast could just be to that instead of indirectly through the component?

#

or the else statement? i mean, it could be null

grand snow
#

forget it i dont care enough

I recently made a new scene, but for some reason when clicking my next button, it does not respond and events don't change. I think this might be a mistake that I did in my code so if anyone could take a look, that would be awesome (:

Nope, thought I did

Im testing it another way now. The problem is that it takes a while to build webgl

When i click the notice board button or the staff room button, the character appears on screen, but the textbox does not appear. This is my assumption but i feel like i messed up with the eventPos. Could someone please take a look?

a quick glance over it and I don't see where you set the position of the textbox

ah, screenspace canvas

#

you'll need to go through and debug it

You should be doing all that with 1 method and passing in the various params when you call the event

there are lines for when the character speaks, and the name of the person

however, the textbox doesn't show up at all

what is the script that is hiding/showing it? there might be some kind of edge case where the logic to enable it doesnt get triggered or forced to hide every frame

you should consider taking some time to just refactor this to make it more maintainable

is there a way to get my Y velocity (im probably just really stupid)

on the same object or of a different object?

wait im not doing it for rigidbody 2d

#

naive pawn
#

you get the rb and then you get its y velocity

weary depot
#

thx

naive pawn

(you should already have a cached reference to the rb)

i forgot about the fact it needs to be rb

#

im using cinemachine Third Person Follow. it follows my player fine, but how do I look around with my mouse?

#

do i use script or is there a component for that

#

If i use a script, how should up and down rotation be handled if the script is on my player? horizontal is fine, and I want the player to rotate along with it, but when I go veritcal, the whole player rotates vertically too

timber tide
#

you look around by targeting something that rotates

sinful zinc
timber tide
#

well, if the head rotates independently from the torso you can target that too

#

otherwise you can do something like an invisible gameobject where the head is and rotate that instead

sinful zinc
#

my player is just a capsule

sinful zinc
#

should rotate

timber tide
#

right if the head doesn't move then empty game object is the idea

#

also I'm not usually a big fan of the third person camera and instead use the orbital so try that too

#

basically third person camera with more properties

sinful zinc
timber tide
#

there's a lot of things you can do with it, but yeah it can be very loose too if you want it to be

sinful zinc
timber tide
#

I dont play that unfortunately but perhaps

sinful zinc
#

I will try the orbital after but

#

would this approach work

#

The third person components target is an empty game object that rotates only up/down with mouse movement

#

then a script on the player manages left and right

#

So that the player can rotate left/right with mouse movement without the player rotating up/down?

timber tide
#

yeah sounds standard enough

#

if the empty game object is child to the player then it will move along with the body of the player, thus repositioning

#

both the posittional and rotational modules can also target different objects anyway

#

oh wait I see what you mean. So you're saying you cant rotate left and righ with the mouse in fortnite?

#

some funky control scheme

sinful zinc
timber tide
#

unless you do mean you can strafe with 'A' and 'D" but also rotate 360 with the mouse

sinful zinc
#

no no no, essentially, a fps camera, but the camera is moved back so that its in third person

#

wait 360 yes but the player rotates along with the camera

timber tide
#

right yeah that's standard. Orbital and Rotational Composer probably

sinful zinc
#

so that the camera isnt just floating around the player

#

or should i figure that on my own

timber tide
#

like I said, if the empty game object is child to the capsule then when you rotate the capsule player then the empty will rotate with it

sinful zinc
#

my chinemachines target is the empty

naive pawn
#

you will make the capsule rotate (possibly through a rigidbody if you have a collider)

timber tide
#

well, if this is standard 3rd person controller, then you should have a rotational constraint on the empty* that it can't rotate further than something like 75 (+/-) degrees

#

and the closer it is to those values the more the rotation of the capsule will move

#

rather 45 ish

blissful stratus
#

how can i add a random int that have chances like 50% can i tried random.range but it doesnt have fixed chances

naive pawn
#

you could use Random.value as well

blissful stratus
naive pawn
#

no

solar hill
night raptor
#

Something like this:

float value = Random.value;
if (value < 0.5) //50% chance
    option1
else if (value < 0.85) //35% chance (0.85 - 0.5)
    option2
else if (value < 0.95) //20% chance (0.95 - 0.85)
    option3
else //5% chance (1 - 0.95)
    option3
blissful stratus
naive pawn
#

there is technically another option with AnimationCurves if you want to draw a distribution yourself, but that probably wouldn't be great for discrete outputs

night raptor
# blissful stratus i am making a casino so i want like the bad luck is 50 etc... and i have 5 choic...

Even with 5 choices, doing an if else chain may be quite prone to errors and hard to maintain (especially if you need many different distributions), 5 is also not nearly enough to make the alias method useful. If I was you, I would consider making a class like Distribution which you can create with different numeric weights for different values. Internally the weights can be stored as array of values normalized to add up to 1. You could then ask for numbers from the distribution where it would do the same logic present in the if else chain above, but by looping through the array instead

#

In it's simplest form it could work something like this: new Distribution(1, 5, 10, 17) (in this example the weights correspond to 0, 1, 2 and 3) where myDistribution.getRandom() would be 5 times likelier to return 1 (weight 5) compared to 0 (weight 1), and 2 times likelier to return 2 (weigth 10) compared to 1 (weight 5). I would prefer this kind of approach to not have to fiddle with the probability values by hand to always make them add up to 1

#

This is only very simplified example. In a real use case you would probably want to link the weights to a returned values too so they weren't just 0, 1, 2,... which would make you have to keep track of which value refer to which item/action

midnight plover
#

You could also just add a number from 0 to 100% for each item as possible weight distribution. Get all items weights combined, normalize them to 100/1 and get a random value from there. Bascially just remap your array of weights to a handleable sized dictionary and get your value back from there.

Hello! I wanted to ask if there is a way for OnTrigger.../OnCollision... to be run on FixedUpdate instead, the document saids it runs on Update and it is unreliable with my custom tick system, it goes as follows:

NO MORE HELP NEEDED!

edit: nvm documentation is half flawed, they do run on FixedUpdate

slender nymph
#

what documentation did you see that said they were called during the regular update loop rather than the physics update loop?

frank delta
#

you guys should really change this!

image.png image.png
frank delta
#

they should fix that!

slender nymph
#

ah yeah, in that case "frame" being physics frame because it is a physics message

frank delta
#

yesss, they did not specify, my mistake!

naive pawn
frank delta
#

man, I gotta do more Debugging then!

slender nymph
frank delta
#

this is a bit strange, at 0.1 they just freak out

image.png
#

which if used with my tick system, they might miss a tick

naive pawn
frank delta
#

how should I safeguard this?

#

actually, let me debug this first

slender nymph
#

if you only ever expect to need two decimal places of precision you could just snap the value to the nearest 0.01 with Snapping.Snap

#

otherwise you would want to use some epsilon to check if a value is close enough, but of course how you address this entirely depends on what you are actually doing

frank delta
#

it doesn't seem to affect this:)

It looks like it's doing exactly what your code says to do in that first video

blissful stratus
polar acorn
#

What is the issue

blissful stratus
#

i want it to have a high force like a normal rpg i made the force = 5000 still it doesnt make it high

polar acorn
naive pawn
#

use an instantaneous force

#

wait, you're calling Explode in Update?

blissful stratus
polar acorn
blissful stratus
#

i am calling it in the on trigger enter 2d

blissful stratus
naive pawn
#

ok, so use an instantaneous force

blissful stratus
#

thats enemys

naive pawn
blissful stratus
polar acorn
# blissful stratus yeah why

Because if you're setting the velocity to a specific value then it will become exactly that value, regardless of however much momentum they've gotten from previous AddForces

naive pawn
blissful stratus
blissful stratus
naive pawn
#

that won't solve the issue digi mentioned

#

it's just another issue

polar acorn
#

You do want to use Impulse, but if you're setting the velocity to 0 every frame they're not moving, they're going to stop the instant the force is no longer applied

    //Draw debug ray
    Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.right * 2, Color.blue);

polar acorn

DrawRay by default draws it for exactly one frame

it's in fixed update.

#

yeah i think there's a duration parameter too

polar acorn
tender mirage
#

but it's in fixed update. not even the debug raycast is showing up for me

tender mirage
naive pawn
#

the default value is 1 frame, as mentioned

polar acorn
#

Yeah, the default value is 1 frame. Since FixedUpdate runs on a schedule independent of the update loop, that frame might have passed before it actually has a chance to render it.

naive pawn
#

If depthTest is set to true then the line will be obscured by other objects in the Scene that are nearer to the camera.
consider setting that to false if you're worried it'll get obscured

polar acorn
#

Try giving it a higher value and see if you get anything then

Making it longer means it might double up but it would definitely show whether it's activating at all

this wouldn't be an issue if it were done in Update though right, if i'm understanding you correctly?

Did you try a longer duration?

#

also make sure your objects are appropriately sized

#

Place a debug log in the function and see if it prints

tender mirage
naive pawn
#

it's the parameter after the color

#

what do you mean you can't find it

tender mirage
eternal needle
#

you could see if it's actually showing in scene view. that'd tell you if it's a code issue or if you just need to enable something for it to show in game view

naive pawn
eternal needle
#

i remember there being some weird things about it not showing in game view lately but not sure if that was an actual bug that got reported

tender mirage
#

so it's suppose to work.

tender mirage
eternal needle
#

look at it in scene view side by side with game view, see if it appears in one

tender mirage
#

even with longer duration it's not showing up

tender mirage
#

what. i've never seen that happen

slender nymph
#

make sure gizmos is actually enabled for game view

naive pawn
#

The line will be drawn in the Scene view of the editor. If gizmo drawing is enabled in the game view, the line will also be drawn there.

tender mirage
#

having it in game is also more convenient

#

wait its not even visible in the screenshot lmao

#

but i can ensure you its not there

ivory bobcat
tender mirage
#

like this?

ivory bobcat
#

Check which gizmo elements are enabled

tender mirage
#

everything is checked.

#

No worries.

#

and i get your concern, it is really weird, and it's putting me for a loop as well

#

lol

#

it should be there in the gizmo

#

game view

#

worst part about this? raycast isn't even activating my bool..

naive pawn
#

does the ground have the proper setup

tender mirage
#

Yeah, it has the terrain tag

naive pawn
#

does it have a collider

tender mirage
#

Yeah. I don't fall off the map.

oh yeah since it is inherently a bool

#

that evaluates to true

#

its like saying true == true right

#

you really don't need paddlePos at all. you're just assigning the transform.position to the new vector . . .

naive pawn
#

it's not inherently a bool, it just.. is a bool, outright

the desired effect was transform.position.y = 4, not transform.position.y += 4

# gloomy heart whats the issue there

i explained in the message. they're having issues understanding how to assign a value properly. though, your version works, it's adding to the current position, which is not their intent

this will cause confusion and can lead to them using it for every assignment, thus, receiving undesired results when the other axes don't match

yours works because you have 0 for the x and z values. you'd have to specifically explain why it works and the meaning of using those values . . .

I have a player object with a running script, and I have a jump platform with a jumping script. There is a bool in the jumping script that triggers a jump in the running script. The jumping script is referenced in the running script, but my problem is that when I turned the jump platform into a prefab, I expected the code to work for every jump platform. Instead, it only works with the specific object that is referenced in the running script.

How can I make it so that every jump platform works with the running script?

you can make the running script detect the jump platform and react accordingly, or vice versa - depends on the design

#

not sure what you mean by "clone script", but that would be tight coupling, it would make it harder to work with in the future

tender mirage
#

usually when you have prefabs it's better for the prefab to reference the script rather then referencing the prefabs

naive pawn
#

yeah that's not really how it works

#

it's also just not possible

tender mirage
#

It is. each new instance of a prefab that has a script can simply run a code on awake that gets the component of a another gameobject , in this case a script.

Hey, y'all, I'm newer to making actual games in Unity. I'm trying to make a game called "Multi-Paul" for a class project, and the concept is that each time you press a button (in this case: F), you respawn at main spawn and a clone is made following the path you made before the reset. Essentially like replaying a recording.

It's a puzzle game. I finished the first level, but I wanna implement a mechanic where when you can't see the clone anymore (due to an obstruction) you can see the outline of the clone through the object/ wall. This is because I also wanna make it so that you can destroy the clone when pressing E on it, even through walls.

I'm having trouble getting the outline concept to work. Can anyone help me out?

polar acorn
#

Record all the inputs and the frame number they were sent on. Then, spawn a copy of the player object and instead of getting input from a controller, they get it from the list of inputs

#

Ah, wait, I read further, you want the outline

#

That's going to be a Render Feature in URP, and you can set it to draw "After Opaques" to draw on top of it.

@fathom wind have you checked this? i asked quite a while ago

have you checked its transform to make sure it's actually not moving, or if it's perhaps moving very little?

#

Look at the transform and see if the numbers are changing

fathom wind
#

ohh

#

yes it transform

polar acorn
#

So, it's moving?

naive pawn
#

have you tried checking the scene view

#

in case your camera and background are following the character

fathom wind

#

What is your move speed set to

fathom wind
#

move speed 50 and jump height 25

And how big is the character

That don't have any correlation.

#

Is it outdated?

next plume
fathom wind
naive pawn
#

that's not what i asked

#

check the scene view and see if it's moving

#

check if the camera and background are moving

#

also while you're at it, make sure your script is saved

fathom wind
fathom wind
naive pawn
#

it's just that the camera and background are moving with it, so there's an illusion of no movement

#

you probably don't want the background to move perfectly along with the player, unless it's a really far background for parallax purposes

a Rigidbody cannot be temporarily "disabled" and then reenabled because the physics system doesn't like that?
this is not true
a rigidbody cannot be truly disabled, that's just not something it can do - not because the physics system doesn't like that, just that it's not a thing
what you can do is make it kinematic - but this disables physics simulations, not the entire rigidbody. it'll still be trying to control the transform afaik, so it'll still fight the CC.

#

you could maybe consider having the drone and walking forms completely separate

gloomy heart
#

Or either remove the Rigidbody component and readd it?

hi chat

lavish thorn

Thnx I will probably have the drone and walking be separate, I am just curious on why RBs can't just be disabled willynilly like a normal component

sour fulcrum

components being disabled only mean anything if the code in said component actually cares about it (aside from some niche stuff like findobjectsoftype)

if there isn't any usage of stuff like Update, OnDisable & OnEnable you can't even toggle the bool in inspector

So I'm trying to clamp a car so it don't roll over. I want it to lean and stuff, but I don't want it to be able to tip or flip. Unfortunately for me, my code seems to just make the car glitch out horribly. Been trying to figure this out for the past few days and I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall.

    Vector3 localRotation = transform.localEulerAngles;
    float localRotationZ = localRotation.z;
    if (localRotation.z > 20)
    {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 20);
    }

    if (localRotation.z < -20)
    {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, -20);
    }
#

Is there any easy way to clamp this thing so it'll just lean and stuff and not like, tip over or glitch out? Thank you.

ivory bobcat
#

You'd probably still get glitches though as converting from quaternion to euler has some issues. For the best of results, keep a field to retain the actual rotation and simply apply it to rotation rather than reading the rotation from the Transform component.

Admittedly I have next to no idea what I'm doing. Only been dabbling with code for a few weeks now.

timber tide
#

if you're using a rigidbody you can just freeze the rotational axis

marble kindle
#

I would, but I want it to be able to lean side to side a bit.

timber tide
#

probably want to clamp x too then

#

your image doesn't tell enough

marble kindle
#

Yeah. But I figure if I can get Z, I can get X too.

#

It's the MotionSicknessMobile...

#

Like, at all times it's trying to set z rotation to 20. It kinda just flickers horribly. And my video of it won't go through.

timber tide
marble kindle
#

I'll need to give that a lookthrough after I wake up. Even if it doesn't fix it, it's at least information about what I'm doing wrong which is one step closer to getting it right

#

Thank you.

keen dew
#

You can't read (or write) how much the car is tilted from the Euler Z rotation, it won't tell you that. You'll have to check the angle between transform.up and the ground normal (or Vector3.up) and rotate towards it if the angle is too large

Hi everyone, I'm having an issue in build with Unity, my CharacterController.Move function doesn't move my character when on ground (move vector is correct and all). The moment I jump and move he can walk, even on ground, but as soon as I stop it doesn't move on ground anymore unless I jump and move again...

if(!character) return;
        
Vector3 targetVelocity = playerVelocity;
        
if(new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z) != Vector3.zero)
{
  if(character.isGrounded)
  {
    playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.x, targetVelocity.x, accelerationRate);
    playerVelocity.z = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.z, targetVelocity.z, accelerationRate);
  }
}
else if(new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z) == Vector3.zero)
{
  playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.x, 0, deccelerationRate);
  playerVelocity.z = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.z, 0, deccelerationRate);
}
        
character.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);

Here is the movement code in Update
The playerVelocity isn't the culprit I already debugged it in dev build

In editor play mode it works flawlessly

wintry quarry
#

seems like a chicken and egg problem

#

and you can easily debug this

#

Also if(new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z) != Vector3.zero) kind of makes my eyes bleed

serene cargo
#

Yeah I used that to debug

#

The issue is it's working in editor but not in build for some reason

#

And the character.Move is outside of the if statements so it is set even if velocity is zero

solar hill
serene cargo
#

But even so, why would it work in the editor in that case?

solar hill
#

did you debug your isgrounded variable?

#

are you ensuring you are still grounded after jumping and landing

serene cargo
#

Yup, it is always true when I'm on ground

#

Yep, in the state machine, I can only enter move state when on ground, and I have a label that shows me that I am indeed in movestate

solar hill
#

if it works properly in build but not in editor makes me think it might be framerate dependant issue

serene cargo
#

It's the opposite

#

It doesn't work in build but works flawlessly in editor

#

And it shouldn't be framerate dependant as I'm multiplying the target velocity by delta time in the Move function

solar hill
#

i think it could be this

if(new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z) != Vector3.zero)

#

i think it might have to do with some floating point precision differences between the editor and build

#

im not too sure

#

try something like this

# 
Vector3 horizontalVelocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z);

if(horizontalVelocity.sqrMagnitude > 0.0001f)
{
    //move 
}
else
{
    //do the opposite of moving
}```
#

just as a test too see if the issue still happens

serene cargo
#

I'll give it a try

#

Mmmh, still the same result in build

serene cargo
#

Ok, after a few tests the issues seems to be my acceleration/decceleration code, for some reason in build it doesn't lerp and just straight out not move

#

Same thing for the decceleration, it just stops instantly while in editor everything works for some reason...

nothing at all

wintry quarry
#

Have you clicked into the game window to give it focus

blissful mulch
#

i did yeah

wintry quarry
#

Can you show how you configured the action?

blissful mulch
wintry quarry
#

I think this is a control schemes issue

#

Are you doing local multiplayer?

#

if you're not doing local multiplayer I recommend avoiding control schemes, they will just cause you a headache

blissful mulch
#

uhh its just a singleplayer game...

#

ive just heard the old input system is outdated...

wintry quarry
#

I didn't say anything about old input system

#

I'm talking about control schemes

blissful mulch
#

then idk what a control scheme is

wintry quarry
#

Well you seem to have set at least one of them up

blissful mulch
#

oh wait i remember

#

my bad

wintry quarry
#

I recommend deleting all control schemes, they are not useful for single player

#

and they will jsut cause issues

i just started unity and c# overall, how do i set up intellisence for unity with vs code?

thank you so much dude

#

i dislocated a finger punching my wall out of frustration yesterday🥹

subtle python
# wintry quarry !ide

i followed all the steps and im not getting autocomplete words or anything like that

wintry quarry
subtle python
#

like what.

wintry quarry
# subtle python like what.

Like one of the steps:
The extension in VSC
or the VSC package in Unity
or setting the external editor in Unity

subtle python
#

all of them are set

#

i got the unity extension and c#

#

and the rest are set in unity

wintry quarry
#

did you press the "trust this solution" button or whatever in VSC

#

Do you have any compile errors in your console window in UNity?

subtle python
#

it does say at the bottom failed to find entry points?

wintry quarry
#

It says that at the bottom of where

subtle python
#

unity

wintry quarry

#

okay

#

nvm i fixed it

whats the difference between System.Random.Range and UnityEngine.Random.Range?

slender nymph
#

System.Random is an object that must be constructed, UnityEngine.Random is a static class. System.Random also does not have a Range method

wintry quarry

#

So, check the line, and see what variables come before a . or a [

twin pivot
slender nymph
#

where do you actually assign a List<T> object to that variable anyway?

polar acorn
slender nymph
#

null != empty, null == null. a null list cannot be empty because it isn't anything. an empty list is explicitly not null

twin pivot
#

wait what the hell

#

the code is on line 34 now but the null reference hasnt moved?

polar acorn
#

What's line 33 now?

slender nymph
twin pivot
polar acorn
twin pivot
slender nymph
#

incorrect, that is adding to the list, not assigning a list to the variable

polar acorn
slender nymph
#

where do you assign a new list to the variable

twin pivot
polar acorn
#

There's your error

slender nymph
twin pivot
#

oh my god i see the problem now XD

polar acorn
#

Find the thing on that line that's null

#

And make it not be that

twin pivot
#

i didnt know that creating a list worked differently to creating an array whoops

slender nymph
#

here's a fun fact: it doesn't work differently

twin pivot
#

wait nevermind then im not sure what im doing wrong then

slender nymph
#

your arrays are just not null because they are serialized by unity so unity is creating the instances for you

twin pivot

The thing is, how could I make it really framerate independant in that case?

if(!character) return;

Vector3 targetVelocity = playerVelocity;
Vector3 horizontalVelocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z);

if(horizontalVelocity != Vector3.zero)

  if(character.isGrounded)
  {
    playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.x, targetVelocity.x, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-accelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
    playerVelocity.z = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.z, targetVelocity.z, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-accelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
  }
}
else if(horizontalVelocity == Vector3.zero)
{
  playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.x, 0, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-deccelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
  playerVelocity.z = Mathf.Lerp(character.velocity.z, 0, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-deccelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
}

character.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);

if(character.height != targetHeight)

  character.height = Mathf.Lerp(character.height, targetHeight, 0.75f);

Mathf.MoveTowards is amazing.. its my pick of the two ☝️ (2:cents:)

serene cargo
#

MoveTowards kinds of give me parasite move on the sides when moving forward and same thing forward when moving on the sides ^^"

#

I'm trying to do everything in fixedUpdate but get this kind of stutter and movement blur when playing the game

#

And I don't seem to find a way to interpolate CharacterController

naive pawn
#

CharacterController works on Update

#

it doesn't need to be interpolated

serene cargo
#

Mmmh, doesn't seem to work in build with the usage of lerp then ^^"

#

Or at least doesn't work when the framerate is too high

ivory bobcat
#

You need to log some data. Chances are, the improved wrong-lerp has some unexpected values.

naive pawn
#

the wrong lerp fix here seems a bit weird to me

serene cargo
#

I tried both anyway, same result

#

When the framerate is higher than 144 it doesn't lerp as expected anymore ^^"

naive pawn
#

are you setting playerVelocity outside of this function?

#

it seems to be the targetVelocity, but you're modifying it

ivory bobcat
#

I found it strange that they were using character.velocity

naive pawn
#

on frame 2, character.velocity.x and targetVelocity.x would be the same value

serene cargo
#

character.velocity is the actual velocity of the character, targetVelocity is the velocity I'm trying to get to (it changes with player input)

ivory bobcat
#

Ideally wrong lerp would be cs value = Mathf.Lerp(value, target, constant);

naive pawn
#

this isn't wronglerp

#

this is the fix to wronglerp with consistent results

ivory bobcat
#

Not cs value = Mathf.Lerp(somethingElse, target, constant);

naive pawn
serene cargo
#

playerVelocity is set in that function only

naive pawn
serene cargo
#

targetVelocity is set according to input

Forgot to specify that

        Vector3 horizontalVelocity = new Vector3(targetVelocity.x, 0, targetVelocity.z);
        
        if(horizontalVelocity != Vector3.zero)
        {
            if(character.isGrounded)
            {
                playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(playerVelocity.x, targetVelocity.x, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-accelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
                playerVelocity.z = Mathf.Lerp(playerVelocity.z, targetVelocity.z, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-accelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
            }
            else
            {
                playerVelocity.x = targetVelocity.x;
                playerVelocity.z = targetVelocity.z;
            }
        }
        else if(horizontalVelocity == Vector3.zero)
        {
            playerVelocity.x = Mathf.Lerp(playerVelocity.x, 0, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-deccelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
            playerVelocity.z = Mathf.Lerp(playerVelocity.z, 0, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-deccelerationRate * Time.deltaTime));
        }
        
        character.Move(playerVelocity * Time.deltaTime);
naive pawn
#

ok, where do you declare/define playerVelocity and targetVelocity

#

is playerVelocity local or a member

serene cargo
#

playerVelocity is a member

serene cargo
#

Mmmh

#

I tried a clean build and it seems to be working now

#

Maybe there was an issue with the build

#

After I made the change with targetVelocity

#

And lerping playerVelocity instead of character.velocity

serene cargo
#

It clearly was a logic issue on my behalf ^^"

#

Thanks to @ivory bobcat too btw 🙂

pliant dome
#

is there a way to refer to a bool method as false in a if statement? I know its already set to false automatically but I need it so that when Im jumping its specifically makes my bool method false

slender nymph
#

you can't set a method to anything, methods return values, so whatever is being returned needs to include that condition you'd like to impose

naive pawn
#

you also usually want to call methods rather than just referring to them

#

what exactly are you trying to do, in a broad overview? it sounds like you don't have the experience to use the proper terminology precisely yet

polar acorn
rocky canyon
# 
  if (!IsGrounded())
  {
     // weeeeeeeee
  }```
solar hill
#

thats not a bool method though

#

thats just an if statement that uses a bool UnityChanHuh

#

im guessing a bool method would be a bool function that returns a true or false statement

polar acorn
#

Well, IsGrounded() would be

cunning narwhal
#

Whats going on whenever I see code like this?

someVar.someProperty = () =>
{
....stuff....
};

solar hill
#

the arrow function?

#

used for callbacks mostly iirc

cunning narwhal
#

yeah like why is it = to a blank parenthesis and then the lambda to some code block?

pliant dome
#

Just recently added a raycast along side using comparetags for ground check and this if statement kepted things working for some reason

cunning narwhal
#

Like whats the long-hand version of that? I dont know what this is specifically called so trying to search for it is difficult

polar acorn

# pliant dome

You can't set a function to a value. getisGrounded() will give you a boolean. You can't set it to false

cunning narwhal
#

Awesome, thanks!

pliant dome
solar hill
#

so what is it youre trying to do then?

pliant dome
#

I just put it there to show what I initially did then realized I couldnt do that

polar acorn
#

What would it even mean to set the function to false?

solar hill
#

i guess to make it always return false if some condition is met?

#

i guess you could do that with a seperate bool and an if statement within the bool function

rocky canyon
#

boolean function could run conditionals b4 the return

pliant dome
#

For some reason my idle animation would play when Im jumping and this if statement in my update method would stop this from happening. I legit could not tell you why

#

Well Ill figure something out

solar hill
#

well since its the idle animation im assuming its overriding the jumping UnityChanHuh

#

you would need some kind of conditional to ensure it doesnt play when you are airborne

pliant dome
#

Yeah I already have a isJumping = true or false in place for this

#

and it doesnt change so iunno

solar hill
#

it doesnt change?

#

i mean your isjumping is just the opposite of your isgroundedd

#

you dont really need a seperate jumping bool

#

at least i dont think you would, you can just use !isgrounded

#

to drive the parameter for the animation

rocky canyon
solar hill
# pliant dome

also i dont understand this? isnt this the opposite way of doing this? why are you setting your isgrounded manually at all?

rocky canyon
#

see if they print out to the console when u expect

# 
    void Update()
    {
        PlayerGroundCheck();

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isGrounded)
        {
            Jump();
        }

        if (!playerIsGrounded) // same as saying if(playerIsGrounded == false)
        {
            // airborne logic
        }
        else
        {
            // grounded logic
        }
    }
``` as kuzmo says ^ 1 boolean should be enough for what i think ur doing.. its either *this* state or *that* state.. and depending on that you can branch off and run seperate logic for both states..

your ground check should become false if its programmed correctly.. you shouldn't need to manually set it..
it overcomplicate things when u have (2) booleans like isGrounded and isJumping.. since they both just mirror each other anyways.. instead of working from there and getting stuck w/ contradicting booleans maybe try to re-think your logic and setup to make it more simple

What happens when a script has a virtual function, and the script that inherits it also has it but not using override? do both trigger? just the newest?

class Parent {
  void virtual Something() {/*do something*/};
}
class Child : Parent {
  void Something() {/*do something else*/};
}
#

trying to read someone else's code where testing isnt possible rn

polar acorn
#

You can still write your own and run that

naive pawn
#

you could copy that snippet into an online c# compiler and fix all the issues

#

you wouldn't even have to run it, you'd get a warning telling you exactly what happens

verbal dome
#

Thought i'd point that out as it isn't immediately obvious if you just "try it and see".

naive pawn
#

the warning that pops up makes it pretty obvious imo 🤔

#

the warning says it acts like new

hallow sun
#

aight ill try and see

spiral lynx
#

does anyone here use the Nova UI framework?

hallow sun
#

turns out they have different parameters so i was just overthinking the "virtual"

#

it just uses the one whose parameters you match
