Hi, is the example here bugged? https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@2.7/manual/advanced-topics/message-system/rpc.html#completing-the-ping-example

the call to PingRpc should be PingRpc(1, new RpcParams()); instead of PingRpc() ?

[empty orchid]

how would i get LookAt() to have a -90 offset on whatever the target is?

[timber tide]

Looks like an error unless they have an overload somewhere

[eternal needle]

probably just an oversight. in the past the ngo docs were maintained by like one person, not sure if thats changed now.
also sucks to see they moved the docs to the Packages site. it looks like ass now

i wouldnt be too concerned about errors like that. its more of just a showcase of how you can use it. Seems like they probably copied the code, initially writing it as a method with no params and just forgot to update that part. the PongRpc looks correct

[timber tide]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/issue-in-example-for-1-8-0/939147/2

-90 what offset exactly?

a -90 degree offset? looking at a point -90 units offset?

Hi i need help with unity scripting I have it all installed with visual studio but when i look for create C# script it dosent show can someone help me with this?

[patent vortex]

Have you checked the code editor in preference?
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/Preferences.html#external-tools

[wintry quarry]

That menu item is just called "MonoBehaviour Script" in newer Unity versions

[celest mesa]

i found it that all im trying to do is just make a button and I cant do something simple and i follow tutorials and did they change a bunch of stuff last time in the past few weeks?

Im trying to find the stuff i learned in school but everything is just not there

[wintry quarry]

I'm searching about setting predetermined value on a field in parent from child (scriptable object), and i cannot remember one of the method the AI suggests.
what i get is, either, well assign it normally in child or using the Reset() method

however there is something in my first search that i cannot remember the exact syntax, and i cant get the same result on google AI

public class ChildClassSO : ParentClassSO
{
    (?)private void ParentClassSO
  {
    parentField1 = ...
    parentField2 = ...
  } 
}

it is assigning from inside a method, i closed that google search tab, what is it about ?

[wintry quarry]

It's really not clear what you're asking here. And the code snippet you shared doesn't make sense

At what point in the lifecycle of the object do you want to set the values?

And are you sure you want to be setting fields? Why fields if you're going to set them to "predetermined" values?

[rough granite]

i must've missed this step 😔

[keen knot]

Hello! Is it possible to play a video backwards using Video Player? I tried but it seems that it only goes forward

[verbal dome]

Did you try changing the playback speed to negative?

[keen knot]

It clamps it to 0

[verbal dome]

Yeah, doc says

Support for negative values is platform dependent.

[keen knot]

It doesn't work for android?

[verbal dome]

No idea

But yeah I'd assume that if it's limited on some platforms then it would be mobile

Seems like you'd need to manually adjust the frame

[keen knot]

Thanks. I'll try

[keen knot]

it works, but it has different speed from normal playback

void Update()
{
    if (reverse)
    {
        accumulator += Time.deltaTime;
        if (accumulator >= 1f / frameRate)
        {
            videoPlayer.frame--;
            Debug.Log("frame change");
            accumulator = 0;
            if (videoPlayer.frame <= 0)
            {
                reverse = false;
                videoPlayer.Play();
            }
        }
    }
    else if (videoPlayer.frame >= (long) clip.frameCount - 1)
    {
        reverse = true;
    }
}

[verbal dome]

It should be something like cs while (accumulator >= 1f / frameRate) { ... accumulator -= 1f / frameRate; // Instead of accumulator = 0 ... }

Currently you are only advancing max 1 video frame per Update

A while loop allows it to catch up if it should play multiple video frames during this Update

[keen knot]

Thanks, but it starts to play forward at some point when it should be in reverse

[verbal dome]

At some point?
Is it just this?

            if (videoPlayer.frame <= 0)
            {
                reverse = false;
                videoPlayer.Play();
            }```

I don't see anything else setting reverse to false here

[keen knot]

Yeah, it's supposed to play forward when it reaches the start, but it starts to play forward in the middle of playing in reverse

[naive pawn]

can you show the current code

[keen knot]

[SerializeField] private VideoPlayer videoPlayer;
[SerializeField] private VideoClip clip;
[SerializeField] private float frameRate = 64f;
private bool reverse = false;
private float accumulator;
private void Start()
{
    videoPlayer.clip = clip;
    videoPlayer.Play();
}

void Update()
{
    if (reverse)
    {
        accumulator += Time.deltaTime;
        while (accumulator >= 1f / frameRate)
        {
            videoPlayer.frame--;
            Debug.Log("frame change");
            accumulator -= 1f / frameRate;
            if (videoPlayer.frame <= 0)
            {
                reverse = false;
                videoPlayer.Play();
            }
        }
    }
    else if (videoPlayer.frame >= (long) clip.frameCount - 1)
    {
        reverse = true;
    }
}

[naive pawn]

i don't see anything that would cause that, but i do notice that if you have a long frame when near 0 it'll keep going to negative frames

[verbal dome]

Is the video playing while you are also adjusting the frames manually?

I haven't used video player but that might be causing an issue

Do you need audio?

Maybe try doing both forward and reverse playback by setting the frame

[keen knot]

IsPlaying is set to false when playing reverse

[verbal dome]

So there's more code

[keen knot]

No, I just display properties of a video player

[verbal dome]

Might wanna add a break here

            if (videoPlayer.frame <= 0)
            {
                reverse = false;
                videoPlayer.Play();
                break;
            }```
So it stops without going to the negatives

Stops reversing, i mean

[keen knot]

It is getting stopped at some point (video length is 5 seconds).

[verbal dome]

I don't see anything that would stop it. Maybe some quirk of videoplayer I don't know about

Do you have VideoPlayer.isLooping enabled or no?

[keen knot]

It's disabled

[verbal dome]

Try enabling it

Maybe it thinks it's reaching the end and therefore stops it

[keen knot]

I enabled loop and skip on drop and it's working

But it's slower than playing in forward

Without Skip on drop it just loops

[verbal dome]

Are you sure the video player is not playing when reverse is true?

I don't see you stopping it anywhere

If it plays forward while you manually adjust the frames backwards then I wouldn't expect it to have the correct speed

[keen knot]

well videoPlayer.IsPlaying property shows false while in reverse

[verbal dome]

Just try calling Pause when you set reverse to true

Another thing to try is to convert your code from using frame to directly modifying time

So pretty much videoPlayer.time -= deltaTime instead of the delta accumulation etc.

[keen knot]

I tried it but it's doesn't apply changes

[keen knot]

it doesn't affect

[verbal dome]

Show what you tried

[keen knot]

private void Start()
{
    videoPlayer.clip = clip;
    videoPlayer.Play();
    videoPlayer.loopPointReached += EndLoop;
}
void EndLoop(VideoPlayer vp)
{
    reverse = true;
    videoPlayer.Pause();
}
void Update()
{
    if (reverse)
    {
        videoPlayer.time -= Time.deltaTime;
        if (videoPlayer.time <= 0)
        {
            reverse = false;
            videoPlayer.Play();
        }
    }

}

[keen knot]

in debug videoPlayer.time -= Time.deltaTime is called when in reverse but nothing changes

[verbal dome]

Actually yeah I just took a closer look at the time docs and I don't think it's meant to be used for this

The only hack I can think of right now is to control both forward and reversed playback manually with frame (and with playback paused)

No idea why it wouldn't be the correct speed tho

The logic looked fine

[worthy veldt]

the context is furniture in 2D game that player can place, i want to add decoration which do not have all 4 facing direction unlike furniture, but i don't want to copy paste same data for all 4, so I'm wondering can i make a child and fill just one data and automatically it will assign it to all 4 direction data of parent ?

I got it now that you need extra editor script to add button to run the method (the snippet) that will update the parent data during editing from inspector.

[midnight plover]

Did you read the docs about setting time? https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Video.VideoPlayer-time.html
It says, that it will add any additional change of the setting of time to a queue and waits for previous once before it continues. Could it be, that the dequeue is happening slower than your update loop is running? So it will "lag" behind?

[midnight plover]

void Update()
    {
        if (isReversing)
        {
            videoPlayer.Pause();

            double newTime = videoPlayer.time - Time.deltaTime;
            if (newTime < 0)
            {
                newTime = 0;
                isReversing = false;
            }

            videoPlayer.time = newTime;
            videoPlayer.Play();
        }
    }

This is what I came up with thats "somehow" working. But you can see, that it struggles with the playback sometimes not reversing or taking sometime before it actually updates the frames and then keeps on reversing. From what I read also on Renderheads AVPro Video package, its just a huge issue to play in reverse because the player will always have to expensively compute the previous frames.
Here are some tips what you could do, but depending on the video, if its not dynamic, you could also think about creating a reversed version and sync two videoplayers for example, which still might be less expensive than running a forward played video backwards.
https://www.renderheads.com/content/docs/AVProVideo/articles/feature-seeking-playbackrate.html?q=Reverse#:~:text=If you want to start changing the playback rate%2C play in reverse%2C allow fast scrubbing%2C or have fast frame accurate seeking then you may run into issues where the playback becomes extremely slow or the seeking is not accurate.

[real thunder]

are there, like, intended methods for animation transition to occur like last/new animations are not playing?

[midnight plover]

Are you talking about animator transitions between two states? Or what exactly?

[real thunder]

yes

currently I am modifying speed of the state to get the effect but it's kinda cursed

[midnight plover]

Maybe you can show, what you are trying to achieve with code

[real thunder]

right, that's not really a code question but more about animator

what I am trying to achieve is that walking > stun animation transition like walking is halted - so less movement on legs since they won't make much sense

and it works if I set walking state speed zero before transitioning but that looks like there should be a proper way to do so

anyway at least that works, now I see the part which does not work

[midnight plover]

And you cant decrease the transition to "stun" to make that work?

#🏃┃animation but maybe continue over there, as you said. thats some kind of animator question

[real thunder]

that would change the look of transition

thanks for linking that channel, I ll use it next time I get animator issue

actually I would go there rn cause my another issue got code involved but not about code

[sour cape]

thanks, yeh still no luck, so tedious, i can drag 1 by 1

[rich adder]

are you dragging them in the variable name?

[sour cape]

dragging them as usual onto variable name yeh

[sour cape]

yeh must be a bug in this unity, arrays acting very weird

[wheat remnant]

is there a way in the graph toolkit to have ctx.AddOption with some enum, but only conditionally show?
for example, i have a way for my importer to tell the type of a ScriptableObject game state key, and want it to show the appropriate enum options, such as operations related to bools if the key type is bool, int operations for ints, etc.

essentially, i want to be able to be able to have this, but have it be able to be conditional which actually shows the proper enum based on the key type.

ctx.AddOption<IntCompareOp>("IntOp").WithDefaultValue(IntCompareOp.Equals);
ctx.AddOption<FloatCompareOp>("FloatOp").WithDefaultValue(FloatCompareOp.Equals);
ctx.AddOption<StringCompareOp>("StringOp").WithDefaultValue(StringCompareOp.Equals);```


however, i don't think there's a built in thing for options such as .VisibleIf, at least docs-wise.

What is the good way to store whether a monster is dead between scenes?

• Save the id of monster in some kind gamemanager and delete them at scene loaded.
• Have data in the GameManager that keeps track of which monsters should spawn in each scene and where.
• Or is there a another way?

[wintry quarry]

Either of the first two are pretty standard

[fringe plover]

Is it even worth it caching WaitForSeconds
Like, i have to have a field for storing WaitForSeconds cuz unity recommends caching it now
Like, whats the point????

I did it here, but with other transitions, like in this pic

But here i havent cuz i didnt feel like its worth it

is the impact even high enough to even consider caching them?

[frosty hound]

If you're going to reuse something over and over, such as a WaitForSeconds object, there's no harm in caching them.

[polar acorn]

Creating an instance of WaitForSeconds takes time and provides zero benefit. It's literally a free performance increase

[fringe plover]

question is:
Is the performance increase worth having a field for each corotine

[polar acorn]

"Is the benefit worth zero effort and no functional change"

yes

Also, the fact that you're creating it in the function means that you're still making a new one every time

So you're not even actually getting a benefit

[fringe plover]

its not a "zero effort" for me
for me it means i need to clog classes with additional fields
so i have to think if its worth it

Also another question, can i reuse same object for multiple corotines, what if i use 1 object at the same time

[polar acorn]

The entire point is to create the wait one time and reuse it

[wintry quarry]

you don't need a field. Do you mean a local variable?

[fringe plover]

yes

[wintry quarry]

it really depends how often you're doing this, but it's good to be in the habit of reusing whenever possible. Garbage collection is an insidious silent killer of performance.

[midnight plover]

you could use pooling to have more than one if needed and cache that amount

[frosty hound]

Create a static object that stores them for reuse. Nice and tucked away.

But realistically, if your game is small, then it's whatever. It's not going to be the thing that makes your game unplayable.

But if you're running that function across many objects at once (AI looking for the closet object), then yes it will matter.

[fringe plover]

I guess

[midnight plover]

you could extend this with a dictionary or array to get specific time waitforseconds and create new ones if not existent yet and then you can just pool catch them to be used

[fringe plover]

Yeah no im not implementing that.
I feel like using fields would be easier to handle and they could act as "Configs" so i can change transition speeds and stuff without editing the class with logic

[midnight plover]

well, it would just be something like

Dictionary<float, WaitForSeconds>();
//and then check against in your GetMethod()
myWaitForSecondPool.TryGetValue(seconds, out var wait)
//where you can return or create the needed one
yield return YourNamespace.WaitForSeconds.GetMethod(1f); //Or whatever

And changing transition speeds could still be just your field instead of 1f in my example

[tranquil mesa]

how would i get the gameobject that the script is attached to

[naive pawn]

[polar acorn]

Or just gameObject

[tranquil mesa]

No, this is forbidden: you can't access this inside of a field initializer

would this work without mathf. ?

[polar acorn]

What do you mean by "without mathf"? What would Mathf be doing here?

[mild reef]

I mean I guess the answer is yes?

probably missing something

[solar hill]

are you getting errors?

i mean whats even happening lol

youre being a bit too vague for us to help

[mild reef]

theres no errors

its just supposed to change the light intensity off of a variable thats it

the bool turns on and works but the intensity never changes

[slender nymph]

why are you using fixedDeltaTime inside of Update? that's going to be affected by the framerate

[mild reef]

but should still work?

[polar acorn]

Try logging it after you change it

[mild reef]

yeah that doesnt help, logs still said everything should be working

[mild reef]

its only the one line I need help with

theres some type of issue with that specific thing

[polar acorn]

What did the log say

Did the value increase when you logged it?

[mild reef]

no

[polar acorn]

What did you log, and where?

[mild reef]

the value itself has not changed at all, I see it in the inspector

I logged when the bool is fully on and when it was told to go on, and both went off

the light intensity stays at 0

[polar acorn]

Show your code with the logs included

[mild reef]

it has something to do with the time.fixeddeltatime it worked without it

I need it to work overtime though

[polar acorn]

Instead of just logging text that tells you nothing useful, log the value of mylight.intensity

[mild reef]

you realize it shows in the inspector right?

and I can clearly see it

[polar acorn]

And you realize that there is zero indication that what you're looking at in the inspector is even the same light

Log it.

Stop assuming, check.

[mild reef]

I literally said the problem is in the line of code here

[polar acorn]

And I asked you what mathf would have to do with this and got no answer. How about you log the value and see if it's changing

[mild reef]

its not

[polar acorn]

Do the logs show that?

[mild reef]

mathf would be to change it overtime

[polar acorn]

Mathf is a mathematics library

[mild reef]

smh nvm

[polar acorn]

So, when you log the value of mylight.intensity, what does it say

why my death animation not working? its showing at all the the first frame of the death animation and when its dead shows nothing heres the codehttps://paste.mod.gg/ucvvolxhsrhv/0

[lyric igloo]

(the ball is the enemy)

[hallow adder]

one issue is that death isn't a trigger. You configured it as a boolean

[lyric igloo]

so how i fix?

[hallow adder]

delete "death" boolean in the animator parameters, add "death" trigger, then fix the transition to use the trigger

or if death is intended as a boolean, edit code to use SetBool instead

[swift crag]

right now, the "Death" parameter starts out true, and nothing causes it to ever become false

so the transition from 'Any State' to 'death' is always valid

(and by default, this transition is allowed to run even if you're already in the 'death' state)

therefore, it restarts the animation every frame

[lyric igloo]

its working thanks yall

[wheat remnant]

any idea on this? this is almost the last thing i need before my entire dialogue system will finally be finished.

[pliant dome]

It seems that no matter what I do my jump animation always either plays for one frame then goes back to idle, running, or walking animation in mid air. Ive tried to do everything in my power to have the jump animation prioritized first and foremost but it never does

Can someone help me wit this?

[swift crag]

show us your animator

[pliant dome]

Nothing is eally going on in there. Im using alot of animator.Play in the script. Everytime I tried to use the animator it would turn into a massive spider web and it would not work out the way I want it to

I was hoping to use booleans in the animator to prevent the grounded animations like idle, walk, and run from playing but no matter what it doesnt do as I intended

[swift crag]

If you don't have any transitions, then the animator will only change states if you tell it to via Play(). so, go ahead and share that

[pliant dome]

https://paste.ofcode.org/WemXQxCQ5kPKxXpBgwDJ46

Its super messy

just ignore that and go to the animation methods

Thats where I handle all my animations

[swift crag]

I would make sure that onGround is getting set correctly

notably, you're using a pretty long raycast in getisGrounded

and you don't check if your velocity is negative (or at least not positive)

so this method will say you're grounded even while you're moving up at the start of your jump

which will immediately cause you to play a walking/idle/running animation

[pliant dome]

YEah thats why what i was trying to do is have the box collider work along side the raycast for whenever Im off the groud but also have another bool that determines when Im off the ground by only using the box collider

thats why I have the onGround

[swift crag]

oh, isGrounded and onGround are two different variables

[pliant dome]

Yeaj

yeah

[swift crag]

You should still check what the actual value is. Maybe log the relevant values at the top of Animation2().

[pliant dome]

True Im gonna actually make the raycast longer to test something

Can confirm in the inspector that the onGround is unchecked first when I jump then the isGrounded

[solar hill]

is there any reason you have 2 variables that pretty much describe the same thing?

🤔

[pliant dome]

I do!

So this is a platform fighter and when you airdash into the ledge and have the collider collide with the ground you become grounded even though your in the air and so having raycast allows me to pick and choice which true or false things happen when I jump off the ground or when I land

Like resetting the jump count or airdash count

requiring both the raycast and the box collider to touch the ground makes it so that I still need to land on top to reset jumps but prevent jump count resetting wwhen jumping next to the ledge

Also I still couldnt figure out how to have the jump take priority. I actually solved this issue before back when I was only using the box collider and not using a raycast along side the collider

but honestly I have no idea how I even solved that

or at least I dont understand how it fixed it. I tried replicating the same thing but nothing happens now

[tranquil mesa]

is there a neater way to write this

        if (IsGrounded)
        {
            newVel = new Vector3();
        }```

[eternal needle]

Initially set to Vector3.zero and set the y value if it isnt grounded

[tranquil mesa]

Isnt that js reversing it

[cosmic dagger]

You asked for neater . . .

The only thing that changes is the y value, so change it if you're not grounded . . .

[lyric igloo]

why does it says impact not exist when it is? https://paste.mod.gg/enmrpcnyhrwt/0

[polar acorn]

Are you looking at the animator it's trying to call the parameter on? Are you sure your parameter is named impact and not something like impact with an extra space at the end?

[lyric igloo]

yes i am and yes but ill recheack

yeah its fine

[polar acorn]

Try logging targetAnimator and see what object it's detecting

[hallow adder]

logic seems backwards. Bullet has an animator with "impact", but your code for bullet tries to play "impact" on Enemy. Enemy's animator probably doesn't have "impact"

[pliant dome]

Dude I can't figure out why the idle, walk, and run animations take such high priority over only the first jump? 😭😭

[pliant dome]

it plays for like one frame then it stops

[tired python]

when i make a clone of Droplet prefab instance, the clone's Bullet Pool Container starts out empty

like this

[sour fulcrum]

While it's in the name just a heads up that Clone isn't reallyyy used much in documentation/reference so might confuse people, usually Instance is used. With that in mind, When you say your "making a clone of a prefab instance", are you instansiating a prefab asset, or a prefab instance?

[tired python]

I am instantiating the prefab instance

[sour fulcrum]

ok so just a heads up, Instance would be the thing that exists in the scene, either placed manually in editor mode or spawned via code. a reference to a Prefab from your /Assets/ would be a Prefab Asset

mentioning this because using the right terms better for explaining and researching

on that note

Ideally you'd be dragging in the prefab from /Assets, not one that's just in the scene

[tired python]

isn't the clone spawned via code?

so it should be called the prefab instance no?

"Instance would be the thing that exists in the scene, either placed manually in editor mode** or spawned via code**"

oh wait, the clone is the instance

mb

[sour fulcrum]

Yes, your problematic one is an instance, but the one your referencing in your serializedfield is currently also an instance from the scene, which you might want to be instead a reference to the prefab Asset (?)

[ivory bobcat]

It should be an exact copy of whatever was instantiated

[sour fulcrum]

both in the top pic are prefab instances

[tired python]

alright

[sour fulcrum]

you probably want to be referencing the prefab asset in your pool

[waxen adder]

Is there some way to make a dynamic rigidbody completely immovable without setting it to kinematic OR applying constraints?

[ivory bobcat]

Is there a specific reason why the other two are not viable solutions?

[thorn holly]

you can set its velocity/position to 0/whereever you want it to stay every frame

[ivory bobcat]

In knowing so, the solution can better cater towards what you're needing.

[waxen adder]

Mainly I want to see if such a thing is possible with dynamic bodies being "free"

[thorn holly]

every fixed update tick to be specific

[waxen adder]

Would that cause jitter?

When collided with

[ivory bobcat]

What do you mean by "free". Constraints would seem like exactly what you'd want

[thorn holly]

it shouldnt if you set it in fixed update

i think

idk try it and see

[waxen adder]

Oh, another thing I want to know is if it's possible for two dynamic bodies to not push each other if they move into each other

[thorn holly]

you can make them elastic and bounce off each other

[thorn holly]

like how exactly would they behave when they collide

do they both just stop completely?

[ivory bobcat]

That would be a different kind of physics so unless you implement it yourself, you'll probably get some level of shoving unless they're so massive that it's practically impossible to be moved etc

[thorn holly]

even still that only works if one object is massive and one isnt...

not really a great solution here

[waxen adder]

You know how character controllers slide along a wall if their movement is partially into it? Something like that, but with two bodies. They would slide off each other

[thorn holly]

its why kinematic and static exist

[thorn holly]

uh im struggling to imagine how thats supposed to look with two moving bodies

can u give an example

[waxen adder]

If it helps, I have a player controller in mind where their movement is pretty rigid, like what happens with character controllers, but they can situationally act on or apply forces.

My thinking is probably a custom controller that has a character controller as a baseline, but I'm trying to see if finessing a rigidbody could work.

[thorn holly]

i suppose you can directly set velocity in physics tic every frame and then stop doing so when you situationally act on or apply other forces

thats prolly the closest to what you want

[waxen adder]

Gotcha, yeah I tried that, but two moving dynamic bodies can push each other in that situation. I probably just need to switch over to using a character controller and code the specifics I want

[thorn holly]

probably, even in your player wall example the wall pushes back on the player which is what causes that sliding motion

if i have two collide in this way theyd slide off, though it looks more like pushing since its a very short collision

[waxen adder]

Gotcha. Do you think using one of those 1st/3rd person starter assets would speed things along, or should I go full custom with a character controller?

[thorn holly]

thats kinda beyond my area of expertise as i usually make my own rigidbody scripts instead of messing with the unity controller stuff

so hopefully someone else can help u lol

[waxen adder]

Ah lol no worries

[ivory bobcat]

If anything, without having to reinvent an entire system, you could probably have some other object with a kinematic body follow each the players (using a parent constraint component) that would prohibit the other objects from pushing it. Whilst ignoring it's own player object, that is.

This implies that object would have some collider slightly larger than the players to prohibit any interaction between players.

[waxen adder]

Oh interesting, and then maybe it can be disabled if it collides with something that should inflict and be affected by pushing forces

Tempbullet shouldn't be null even if the DropletBulletpool has nothing in it because the pooling mechanism creates an instance and returns it right?

you define the method CreateDropletBullet, it does what you tell it to

[tired python]

wait, i am debug logging it

this line

it is null as it should be

[ivory bobcat]

An nre occurs if members are not accessible. If it's occurring on line 27, the container or pool may be null

[tired python]

it's not reaching the part of the BulletPool which creates an instance

unity has a built in object pooler?

What did the logs print?

[tired python]

Container: Pool (BulletPool)
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
EnemyCollision:Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Collision/EnemyCollision/EnemyCollision.cs:26)

[sour fulcrum]

why do you think this

[tired python]

Pool:
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
EnemyCollision:Update () (at Assets/Scripts/Collision/EnemyCollision/EnemyCollision.cs:27)

[tired python]

cus initially, there are no bullets at start, it's only when the enemy enters range, that it starts firing so although, the pool is instantialised, there are no instances present in it

[sour fulcrum]

empty != null

[ivory bobcat]

Blank after pool implies the pool was null

[tired python]

oh...

so i am guessing that it isn't being referenced the right way or smth?

[slender nymph]

is the BulletPool object you are referencing a prefab or an object in the scene

[tired python]

its the prefab asset

[slender nymph]

that's the issue then, if it isn't in the scene then Start has never been called on it therefore it never instantiates the actual ObjectPool object

[ivory bobcat]

Just for clarity, let's refer to the term prefab as objects in the scene. Once an object is instantiated from a prefab, it's an instance of that prefab and not actually a prefab. This applies to objects already in the scene as well. If they're already in the scene, they aren't refer to as prefabs.

[tired python]

during runtime though, a Droplet is cloned and is present on the scene, so it does run whatever is present in Start

[slender nymph]

something else is doing that then. or you've got a BulletPool in the scene which is what you would need to be referencing instead

[tired python]

so, it does end up printing this

[ivory bobcat]

Perhaps the object that had it's start method called isn't the same object?

[tired python]

exactly

the prefabs are referencing each other, so although the Droplet is instantiated, since the Pool isn't, it doesn't reference the Pool prefab

[slender nymph]

even if it did reference the Pool prefab, that prefab never has Start called on it

[ivory bobcat]

They're referencing prefabs.. not instances in the scene spawned from those prefabs just to be clear.

[tired python]

aren't i saying the same thing though? they aren't referencing instances, they are referencing the actual prefabs themselves

[tired python]

ya, it doesn't have a start function in it

[slender nymph]

so the "Pool" prefab does not have the "BulletPool" component on it? because that has a Start method that is only called when the object exists in the scene

[tired python]

no, more like it does have the script, it's just that the script itself doesn't have the start method in it

wth do i do then

[slender nymph]

so you're telling me this code right here, which clearly has a Start method, does not have a Start method?

[tired python]

ahh shiii, sry mb. you are right. i was talking about Bullet instead

[tired python]

why not then

[tired python]

i did have this setup before where the GameObjects were referencing each other, the Pool and Droplet in hierarchy

did not work though, cus the clones weren't referencing the Pool when instantiated

[slender nymph]

have the pool in the hierarchy. then, like i told you the day you first asked about doing this, have whatever spawns the turret objects pass the pool to the spawned turret objects when it instantiates them

[tired python]

it's still showing a null ref error

[slender nymph]

where

[tired python]

here

[slender nymph]

and did you actually do this or did you just expect you could clone the prefab and not pass the existing pool to the spawned objects

[ivory bobcat]

So just for clarity, on this line bulletPoolContainer.DropletBulletpool.Get the bulletPoolContainer (likely a prefab asset reference rather than the one you're expecting from the scene hierarchy) has it's member DropletBulletpool as null.

[tired python]

more like i am trying to pass the existing pool present in the hierarchy to the clones too, but it ain't happening

[slender nymph]

show how you tried to do that

[tired python]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

So instead of referencing the prefab assetbulletPoolContainer, actually reference the scene object.

[tired python]

I thought if i referenced the gameobjects in the hierarchy, their clones would reference each other too

like this?

[slender nymph]

so you didn't do what i said. i specifically called out passing the reference to the instantiated object and did not say "rely on cloning the object to still reference the right object" because doing that would mean you have to clone the scene object but ideally you would be cloning a prefab instead

[ivory bobcat]

Which object is the Pool object? Where is it located?

It should be an object in the scene (not an asset prefab)

[tired python]

see this

[ivory bobcat]

Make sure to save the scene

[tired python]

how do i do that

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/references/prefabs-referencing-components

[tired python]

btw did you mean something like this?

public void SetPool(ObjectPool<GameObject> DropletBulletpool)
{
    _dropletBulletpool = DropletBulletpool;
}

in the Bullet itself

cus i did set

private void Update()
{
    //if ready to shoot and there are enemies present in range
    if (_reloadTime >= ReloadTime && EnemyList.Count != 0)
    {
        Debug.Log($"Container: {bulletPoolContainer}");
        Debug.Log($"Pool: {bulletPoolContainer.DropletBulletpool}");
        //create a bullet
        GameObject Tempbullet = bulletPoolContainer.DropletBulletpool.Get();
        Debug.Log($"The Tempbullet is: {Tempbullet.tag}");
        Tempbullet.SetActive(true);
        //Bullet Tempbullet = Instantiate(bullet, this.transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        Bullet bullet = Tempbullet.GetComponent<Bullet>();

        **bullet.SetPool(bulletPoolContainer.DropletBulletpool);**
        bullet.Initialise(EnemyList[0], Damage, BulletSpeed, BlastRadius);

        _reloadTime = 0.0f;
    }
    _reloadTime += Time.deltaTime;

}```

i did pass a reference to that pool then

[slender nymph]

and what about to the object that is literally throwing the NRE? because that's a different object

like it's literally the one you are posting code from. that needs the reference

[tired python]

so...i make a reference to the pool wherever the object which this Update() is present in is instantiated from?

[slender nymph]

yes, this object needs the reference to the existing BulletPool object. so pass it to this object when this object is spawned.

[tired python]

ahhh

[slender nymph]

this is the turret object, yes? that's what i told you to pass the pool to in the first place

[tired python]

wait, the turrets AND the bullets need to be present in the SAME pool!?

[slender nymph]

at no point did i say that the turrets need to be in the pool

[tired python]

i ain't applying pooling system to the turrets yet, only the bullets

[slender nymph]

they need a reference to it, not to be in it

[tired python]

wait lemme figure it out then

[waxen adder]

I noticed that when using a character controller, there's a gap between them and things they're colliding with. Walls and the ground are the big things where I'm seeing this. Any ideas on how to get it closer to actual touch?

[slender nymph]

pretty sure that's the skin width

[waxen adder]

Ah right. Any issues with the value being super low?

[hot wadi]

Why don't u mess with it and see how it turns out

[tired python]

@slender nymph @sour fulcrum thx, it's working now

how cooked is this?

should i make the bullet separate from the Droplet?

[naive pawn]

ah, right.

[tender mirage]

Hey there. i've been trying to experiment with a wall jump script, but i'm having trouble getting the oppisite Y rotation of the current Y rotation, which would make the character face their backside as soon as they performed a wall jump, but they aren't turning properly most of the time, especially when they're on 0 degree's you can't really say -0 to get the oppisite rotation

//If walljump triggered
if (playerJump.triggered)
{
    //Only allow if can walljump and ishugging wall
    if (isHuggingWall && canWallJump)
    {
        //Get forward 
        Vector3 playerForward = transform.forward * 40;
       
        //Get new velocity
        Vector3 wallJumpVelocity = -playerForward + new Vector3(0, 50, 0);


        //Apply velocity
        playerRigid.linearVelocity = wallJumpVelocity * 2;


        //Play jump combo sound for now
        playerSound.JumpComboSound(jumpCombo);


        //Get current angleY
        float currentRadY = transform.rotation.y;

        float targetAngleY = -currentRadY * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        
        //Apply rotation
        transform.rotation = quaternion.RotateY(-targetAngleY);
    }

}

[sour fulcrum]

i could be mistaken but adding 180 to any current rotation will just go the other way, no?

[ivory bobcat]

Whatever the case is.. transform.rotation isn't referring to an Euler angle (degrees). You should not be using it as though it is such.

[rough granite]

Yeah was gonna say what they are doing would be like facing 45° then -45° thats only a 90° angle not a 180°

[tender mirage]

I did try to add that but i think you would also have to wrap it around?

[sour fulcrum]

unity does all that

[tender mirage]

ahh, so if you set a value above maximum degree

unity does the job on the rotation values

got it

[sour fulcrum]

if im wrong someone will correct me but yeah it should resolve it into whatever its meant to be in the range

i've actually never 100% looked into it myself but i wanna say thats -360 to 360? since positive negative is used for direction?

[tender mirage]

I didn't get any errors so yeah, it should be like you described

For some reason at max i'm getting 60 degrees when i turn around completely, and thats about it

i'm definitely doing something wrong which sucks

getting 0 to 60 turning from start point to the right side to my back and from their it's minus

[ivory bobcat]

Did you remove the few lower lines that attempt to make use of the quaternion y component?

The quaternion consists of x, y, z and w components. It isn't likely what you think it is.

[tender mirage]

I'm only rotating the Y value tho right?

that should be clearly the right choice

[ivory bobcat]

It isn't what you think it is

[tender mirage]

what the heck, it's x? why did i think it was y

wait nvm i'm just losing it, it is y

[sour fulcrum]

rotations are weird for complex reasons, generally you'd want to use

.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(x,y,z);

to handle it like you would position and scale

[tender mirage]

Yeah and just apply transform.rotation.x and z on the uneffected ones right?

[sour fulcrum]

reading them is the same yeah, just setting them needs some help

[tender mirage]

so it's perhaps the rotateY function you're suggesting is causing that. alright

i'll try it

[ivory bobcat]

A quaternion is a four-tuple of real numbers {x,y,z,w}. A quaternion is a mathematically convenient alternative to the euler angle representation.
...
Note that Unity expects Quaternions to be normalized.
The four components of a Quaternion are not what you think they are.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.html

[tender mirage]

ah so just complications i have yet to understand

[sour fulcrum]

hopefully this isn't a poor explaination but basicially unlike position and scale rotation fundementally has some context/history related to going from one value to another

because lets say you spin yourself to move north

there's multiple ways you could do that

[tender mirage]

ahhh you're refering to angulers right?

like how lerp has slerp, or smoothdamp has umm well it has it too with a certain name, which calculates the path of rotation

is that what you're talking about?

[ivory bobcat]

Most will never and would not want or have-a-need to ever understand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion

[tender mirage]

Damn, yeah this is getting into some real math.

[ivory bobcat]

Logging the rotation property should immediately reveal that the numbers may not be what you'd expect.

[tender mirage]

it's very interesting tho. Get's complicated really fast, just read abit about it and nope, like you said, i don't need to learn math for this

lol

[ivory bobcat]

If you're wanting to see the current represented Euler value, you can use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion-eulerAngles.html but do understand that it can be represented in many ways (it'll not always be the same as in -90 might be 90 or some other value)

[tender mirage]

wait this might be it

lemme see

[tender mirage]

dude. eularAngle is the way to go, i'm getting much better values now

float currentRagY = transform.rotation.eulerAngles.y;

thanks for the help

[ivory bobcat]

When you read the .eulerAngles property, Unity converts the Quaternion's internal representation of the rotation to Euler angles. Because, there is more than one way to represent any given rotation using Euler angles, the values you read back out may be quite different from the values you assigned. This can cause confusion if you are trying to gradually increment the values to produce animation.
...
To avoid these kinds of problems, the recommended way to work with rotations is to avoid relying on consistent results when reading .eulerAngles [...]
Best to just keep a Vector 3 field. Modify and do arithmetics to said field. And write directly to the rotation property using Quaternion.Euler if you're needing to change the value. Else Quaterion has some common overloaded operations for adding or
subtracting rotations.

[tender mirage]

I'll have to spend some time on that to get the hang of it then

You would think this would work but i'm still getting inaccurate rotations

//Get reverseY
float reverseY = Quaternion.Inverse(transform.rotation).y * Mathf.Rad2Deg;

[wintry quarry]

I would not think this would work at all

you should never be touching the .y of a Quaternion like this

[ivory bobcat]

You're still attempting to make use of the normalized quaternion y value.

[wintry quarry]

or any of the internals

Say it with me:

Quaternions are not euler angles

[tender mirage]

Yeah it's the normalized value translated to degrees which gives off the illusion that i'm getting the actual degree but i'm inaccurately just grabbing the normals huh?

[wintry quarry]

it's not a "normalized value". It's a quaternion component which doesn't relate directly to euler angles at all

[timber tide]

Also:
Say no to euler angles

[ivory bobcat]

It's not the radian value of an angle. It's some normalized matrix value

[timber tide]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.html
Go read what you're accessing there

https://i.imgur.com/RxXczfy.png

[tender mirage]

Alright.

[ivory bobcat]

Should've snapped it with the w component as well to clearly identify that it's got more than 3 parts

[tender mirage]

It's weird tho. i'm getting half of the degrees right and the other half is just wrong.

As you can see. above 180 it doesn't go to minus like the actual objects rotation

[ivory bobcat]

What's the current code?

[tender mirage]

//Get current angleY
float angleY = transform.localRotation.eulerAngles.y;

Basically this.

[ivory bobcat]

Right, looks fine.

[tender mirage]

definitely much better yeah, although like i stated here it's not truly translating to the objects rotation

maybe the quaternion inverse would work this time? lemme try it

[naive pawn]

that seems to be correct

[ivory bobcat]

I'm going to step out of this one... Reminder: #💻┃code-beginner message

[naive pawn]

-108.762 and 251.238 are the same angle

it's just a matter of how it's displayed

[tender mirage]

i see.

[naive pawn]

the true representation of the rotation is the quaternion. if you turn that into degrees, then there's not really a 'canonical' angle
obviously 720 isn't canonical, but is -90 or 270 more correct? if using negatives, should it be 180 or -180? etc

but it really doesn't matter if you're just doing math, just that you need to treat angles correctly.

[tender mirage]

alright i'm not religious but, prayers this will work

//Get current inverse angle
float angleYInverse = Quaternion.Inverse(transform.localRotation).eulerAngles.y;

[naive pawn]

and if you're using it to display stuff, it depends on what would be more useful to display

imo in the editor, negative angles would be better, and from code, yeah having non-negatives for debugging purposes seems to make sense

[tender mirage]

I see since the functions i'm calling are already calculating that properly

[tender mirage]

Yeah, definitely confusing for a beginner tho. Hence my initial confusion

[naive pawn]

rotations are confusing in general 😮‍💨

i mean, on the surface, yes it's pretty intuitive. but once you start getting into the math and representations and algorithms.. there's a lot more than one might expect

[tender mirage]

definitely. i'm honestly alot more comfortable with 3D space forward and right with transform to be honest and you can do alot of cool stuff with that

[tender mirage]

yeah just alot of road bumps

[swift crag]

it's a really common mistake to make

oh wait, I thought you were doing this :p

transform.rotation.y

(that's the really common one)

[naive pawn]

they had something similar at one point

[swift crag]

but yeah, individual Euler angles can be very misleading

your Y rotation affects the meaning of your X and Z rotations, and your X rotation affects the meaning of your Z rotation

[tender mirage]

Yup i did.

[tender mirage]

oh god..

[swift crag]

I rarely actually use them directly

Quaternion and Vector3 have many useful methods

e.g. Vector3.SignedAngle

[timber tide]

Usually you can get away if you only modify like Y and X, but once you touch Z then euler just lies to you

can get away with a lot more things in 2D that's for sure

[swift crag]

I try to never actually modify the euler angles

[naive pawn]

this is a code channel

[rugged bay]

oh sorry, I got the wrong channel.

[earnest wind]

SecondsSet += seconds;
if (SecondsSet > 86400) SecondsSet = 0;
int h = SecondsSet / 3600;
int m = SecondsSet % 3600 / 60;
int s = SecondsSet % 60;

PlaceholderCountdownText.text = $"{h:D2}:{m:D2}:{s:D2}";

SecondsRemaining = SecondsSet;

long unixNow = DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.ToUnixTimeSeconds();
targetUnix = unixNow + Mathf.RoundToInt(SecondsRemaining);

which part of this code is the most performance reducing?

i notice a total 1 second freeze when i do this function, even if seconds is 60s or 6000s, same 1 s freeze

also, when doing it for the first time*

after that it does not lag anymore, weird, cant replicate on pc

only on android

is it that accessing UtcNow initializes smth ?

[wintry quarry]

Almost certainly the allocation and garbage collection of the string

But you should use the profiler to confirm

[earnest wind]

ah so once its garbage collected it doesnt lag anymore, is that why it doesnt lag the more you do it after?

[naive pawn]

couldn't it also possibly be the redrawing of the canvas?

[wintry quarry]

No, this will create garbage every time it runs

You need to use the profiler.

[earnest wind]

but it doesnt lag every time, only the first time i click

let me check

[earnest wind]

0.8kb is that bad for gc??

[grand snow]

no its not and you would see a large gc collect operation if the lag was the garbage collector working

I think more context is needed

[teal viper]

For starters a frame with the lag spike sorted by cpu time.

[slow blaze]

           foreach (string word in answer)
            {
                if (target.Contains(word, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
                {
                    Debug.Log("Found word: " + word);
                }
                else
                {
                    Debug.Log("Not found: " + word);
                }
            }
            return true; // All words matched
            
        }```
I have a list of string (answer) that I want to check if all the elements in it matches the elements in another list of string (target)
it isn't working as intended as there are some words that are present yet get detected as not found
any help with that?

[keen dew]

Show an example of the two lists that don't work as intended

[swift crag]

kinda smells like the just-in-time (JIT) compiler running, but that's a really long hitch

[earnest wind]

so what can i do

[swift crag]

Can you profile this on-device?

i wonder if something else is hitching

[earnest wind]

ill try and see later on

[wintry quarry]

You need to find the frame with the spike and look at that.

[candid pilot]

İ am making a fps game and i used cameta stacking for weapon clipping. The camers that renders the weapon layer cause performance issue. And yes i am sure that main camera doesnt render the weapon layer.

Is there any optimization trick about that

[solar hill]

renderer features

avoids the 2 camera thing entirely

also mix that in with reactive occlusion through ik and you get a nice looking anti clipping system

[solar hill]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1390716509638098995/1441555951592144996/occlusion.mp4?ex=693de899&is=693c9719&hm=8450cbfb9cab3e2b9c0c7e193f5a936d32e13c7c996b547195e69bdf0356703a& thats what i did personally and it works fine, you can still use the 2 camera trick if you want seperate fov controls for your weapon and main camera.

[candid pilot]

Nice i will give it a try

Thanks for the respond

Btw did u make it using animation rigging?

[solar hill]

like i said

runtime ik offsets.

[swift crag]

pulling the weapon back as you approach a wall looks really nice

[edgy sinew]

lovely work... Co-routines for the camera shake? or some Cinemachine built in stuff?

[solar hill]

per frame procedural approach relying on time.detlatime rather than coroutines

it works by progressively blending an animation curves rotational offsets toward a target intensity and applying them each frame as a small rotation on the camera itself

[edgy sinew]

Hi all, so I wrote some code using the Playables API, pretty simple stuff from the few YouTube videos about that.

mixerPlayable.SetInputWeight(0, 1f - weight);
mixerPlayable.SetInputWeight(1, weight);
clipPlayable.SetTime(0.0f);
playableGraph.Play();

❓ I am wondering, why is there such a noticeable pop / snap when changing animations, especially with the legs / feet?

Even if I keep the weight at 0, the character snaps back into place into the same Idle animation 🤷‍♂️
I tried going from Idle to the other animation in the Animator ("Make Transition") and it doesn't have this issue.

[solar hill]

the snap back might be due to the root position of the animator

[edgy sinew]

I tried turning off root motion as well. No luck

I read that this can happen if the skeletons don't match exactly,
But then why does the Animator not have this issue? Perhaps it does some extra stuff to prevent that 🤔

[pliant abyss]

Getting Component from an Object in root

[worthy veldt]

its just sprite, position offset, etc things that gives the rotating illusion when you change the direction of 2x4 table before placing for example.

[torn wraith]

Is this alot of scripts for a small game? Should I organize them into one more folder space?

[gloomy heart]

You can organize them into folders like PlayerControllers , ui handler etc

[frail hawk]

well yeah, better more than having everything packed inside 1or 2 scripts.

yeah as it was recommended, you could group things and use folders

[gloomy heart]

What i do is organize them using namespaces

[torn wraith]

oh ive used those before, but how does namespace work andhelp me?

[gloomy heart]

I don't if my strategy is efficient or optimum but i do one global namespace like Project_Name{} and them use sub namespaces for work by creating sub namespaces that contain classes related to only UI stuff or Player Controls and their sub namespaces for divsions under those sub categories, and oganize files by namespace names like PlayerUtils, UI and then their sub namespace name folders, like Player Controllers, ButtonPressHandler{} etc

[dark brook]

Usually what I do is organize the scripts in folders and the use those folder names as the name of the sub namespace

[gloomy heart]

i do the same, usually create one global namespace like Project_Name{} and then use sub-namespaces for specific areas,

[quartz tulip]

Ok this is my first project using unity and I don't know what on earth is going on. Basically, in my game there is two game modes that you can switch between, so I created a Scriptable Object class called GameData so that I could keep the save in between modes, so when I came to the problem of having to save the game to a json, I thought it would be relatively easy, by just saving what is in the GameData to the json then reassigning it once the game is started again, but for whatever reason, when I mention "data" (the actual GameData object) in any form rather than doing data.waveNum for example, it completely skews the data? I had this error before but managed to fix it by just not referencing the data at all in the code. It's very hard to explain so here's an unlisted YT video I made about it.

https://youtu.be/XESsBGCSgsU

After recording this, once I took those two commands I put in back out, the data was still skewing so like I genuinely have no idea what's going on anymore, even chatGPT doesn't know what's happening. Ask me if you wanna see any scripts or parts of the code to help solve it I'll try reply as soon as I can. Please help me this is for my college coursework due in literally 2 days, thank you so much!

[blissful stratus]

can any one tell me how can i create a good boss fight not about the move set about the coding

like give me a toturial or smth

i searched but i couldnt find smth good

[fickle plume]

@blissful stratus This is a code channel. If you want to talk game design create a thread in #💻┃unity-talk

[blissful stratus]

no i want to know how can i code one

[fickle plume]

It is highly situational. This is not a place for a guided walkthrough. Search for a tutorial.

[vernal kiln]

can anyone reccomend a tutorial for c#? all the ones im finding are useless

[fickle plume]

Check the pinned messages

[vernal kiln]

thanks

[sterile thistle]

how to use MCP?

[warped sierra]

How can I resolve a firewall issue in Unity Editor that's blocking external communications outside of my local IP address? The firewall only works if I compile at runtime.

[rough swallow]

Hello, I keep facing an issue every time I try to enter Playmode saying "All compiler errors have to be fixed before you can enter Playmode".
Any idea how to fix this?

[fickle plume]

You need to fix all compiler errors.

Check that you didn't hide error logs on console.

[rough swallow]

I went to the console, and the issue is blank?

Lemme screenshot it rq

[fickle plume]

Hide buttons top right on the console

[rough swallow]

My pc is struggling to open discord with 16 GB RAM so I just took a photo instead

[frail hawk]

blank error not bad

[gloomy heart]

I'm using the same 16GB to open 7-8 firefox tabs, unity in playmode and vscode with spotify 😂

[rough swallow]

What's ur CPU, GPU and RAM speed?

[rough swallow]

I have one script trying to declare one public variable, I'm not kidding 😂

[frail hawk]

show code

[gloomy heart]

Lenovo v15 g3, i712th gen IrisXe GPU 16GB 1200MT/s

[rough swallow]

Don't mind the sun hitting the screen

[frail hawk]

dude

seriously learn to take screenshots (not photos)

[gloomy heart]

WHy is update commented?

[rough swallow]

I just said I can't open discord to send screenshots

It's full

[frail hawk]

but what does discord have to do with taking a screenshot though

[rough swallow]

How I'm supposed to send u a screenshot without discord

[frail hawk]

and how are you chatting with us without discord

[rough swallow]

Don't mind that too

[rough swallow]

Discord on phone

[naive pawn]

so you have an account

you can log in in the browser

you don't need to download anything extra

[solar hill]

also while discord is a notorious resource hog, you should still be able to open it along side other programs with 16gb of ram

sounds to me like your cpu might be getting bottlenecked here not the ram

[frail hawk]

bro probably has a ton of background miners running

[rough swallow]

I have I5-12th gen

[rough swallow]

I kept checking for any apps running in background, nothing suspicious

visual studio taking 1G of RAM too

[frail hawk]

sounds normal

[rough swallow]

ngl I must go to 32GB

[frail hawk]

16Gb is huge i think there must be something else.

[rough swallow]

that would be right if I was using Linux

[frail hawk]

dont want to offtopic too much but maybe format your system

[rough swallow]

Might do it soon, but I need to back up alot of files

[cunning narwhal]

I feel so completely stupid but I cannot for the life of me figure out what is calling the Unity default example class method ShowExample() from the Create > UI Toolkit > Editor Window wizard resulting .cs file

What the heck is calling this method and why does it work when it doesnt appear to be a reserved Unity method (such as CreateGUI())?

Is it the MenuItem attribute that calls it as an entry point and afterwards the normal lifesyscle methods take their turn?

[teal viper]

It's not clear what method you're referring to and where. Can you share the actual code?

[tawdry helm]

(2D project) I'm trying to make a bullet that lowers health by 1 and then is destroyed on contact with the player but Unity is giving me an error saying the namespace for playerHealth couldn't be found.

The bullet is using

       if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player"){
           other.gameObject.GetComponent<playerHealth>().HealthUpdates(-bulletDamage);
           Destroy(gameObject);
       }
   }```

playerHealth is on a script attached to the player as "private int playerHealth = 0;" with "playerHealth = playerMaxHealth;" at void Start

also both scripts are using System.Collections and System.Collections.Generic

[naive pawn]

the <> part takes a type, not a field

you need to put in the type of the component

playerHealth is not the component, it is a field of the component

[tawdry helm]

Oh

[naive pawn]

the namespace for playerHealth couldn't be found.
that's also certainly not what the error is saying, try giving it a reread 😉

[tawdry helm]

It works now! Thanks!

[prime cobalt]

Is there a way to raycast to a specific face on an object? Also is there a way to see if 2 of an object's faces are connected via an edge?

[trim quarry]

for some reason new input system doesnt work for me

i linked this command to player input and to input action events, but still it doesnt work

the logs doesnt show up

[naive pawn]

have you set the input handling correctly, and how is your PlayerInput set up

[trim quarry]

wait

the player input

[naive pawn]

is it just that action or are the other actions also not working

[trim quarry]

and event linker

[trim quarry]

all the actions

[naive pawn]

ok, you don't need both here

you either do this #💻┃code-beginner message or this #💻┃code-beginner message, not both - you're doing the work twice

[trim quarry]

i just added these lines since player input doesnt work

[naive pawn]

it's not going to make the player input work, it's just doing the same work again

[naive pawn]

have you set the input handling correctly

[trim quarry]

i dont know how i can do it correctly

im new to this

the game was using the old inputs

and i decided to migrate it to new one

[naive pawn]

you shouldve gotten a prompt to change the input backends

check project settings > player > input handling

[trim quarry]

ok

yeah its set already

[naive pawn]

to be clear, you aren't getting that "Jump" log, right

is this script on an active object in the scene

[trim quarry]

yeah

yes

[naive pawn]

check the input debugger, to make sure your hardware input is being recieved

[trim quarry]

how do i check it

i opened it but

[naive pawn]

open the keyboard one and make sure it responds when you press buttons on your keyboard

specifically the button for jumping

you've set bindings for the inputactions, right?

[trim quarry]

yeah it does detect

[trim quarry]

i guess its engine bug

ive set everything correctly

[naive pawn]

have you done this

under the proper control scheme

[trim quarry]

wait

i guess the problem in the scene itself

when i go to the game, the menus and inputs cant be detected

[tawdry helm]

extremely basic question but I'm trying to make a ball invert its linearvelocity vector2 in X when hitting a wall but keep its Y velocity but I am drawing a blank on how to do it

My guess was something like "rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(? , ?) * speedf;"

[solar hill]

this is in 2d yes?

[slender nymph]

* -1

[tawdry helm]

Yeah still in 2d

oh

[slender nymph]

only multiply the axis you want to reverse though

[cosmic dagger]

invert is just the opposite or reverse . . .

so whatever the value is, flip it . . .

[solar hill]

the vector2 values are the rb.velocity.y and .x with one multiplied by -1

but yeah you were like 90% of the way there on your own

[tawdry helm]

Thanks!

[naive pawn]

you probably don't want that * speedf at the end. the velocity already incorporates speed

[vocal veldt]

idk what happened but unity just magically forgot what the onClick event is

the script was working before but then i renamed it to MenuHandler and now onClick won't show up

[slender nymph]

you probably have your own class called Button, notice how using UnityEngine.UI; is grayed out, that means the Button class you are using in this code is not from that namespace

[vocal veldt]

i made a script called Button but i changed it to ButtonOverrides

[slender nymph]

but have you saved/compiled that change?

[cosmic dagger]

did you change the name of the script or the actual class name?

[slender nymph]

that too

[vocal veldt]

ah

ok it's working now thank you

[slender nymph]

changing the name of the file does nothing at all to the code inside the file. if you need to change the name of one of your own types then use the refactoring tools within your IDE to do it so that it can rename the file along with any references to that type

[cosmic dagger]

if you want to have your own, just place the class in a namespace . . .

[vocal veldt]

well it's just a script for a tween animation when the mouse enters it

[tawdry helm]

Nevermind, guys, I forgot physics materials exist, sorry for that 🤦

[long sparrow]

Hi guys does anyone know how to make a countdown timer? I have code provided and copy and pasted it into my script and added the counttext into the player controller but when I go to play the text says “count text” instead of the timer actually counting down from 60 seconds

Most importantly the last few statements

[solar hill]

you probably shouldnt blindly copy paste anything into your scripts without knowing how it works

[long sparrow]

😭 there were directions on where to copy and paste it tho so I followed that

[solar hill]

directions?

was it Ai written code?

[grand snow]

probably is or a tutorial they miss followed

[long sparrow]

No it’s for an assignment but I figured it out it’s bc it told me to put the code after the void start and I thought that meant inside lol

[cosmic dagger]

actually, the method is just called Start, not void Start. void is the return type . . .

[crude prawn]

Does anyone know how to fix animations being stuck when I'm switching weapons? I have exit time off and I even set the bool to false.

[wicked cairn]

Sounds like the animator controller might not be setup correctly.
You could add a line of code after switching that stops an animation. animator.Stop

[crude prawn]

Yeah Im not sure I just have a Default state and then that is plugged into the Reloading state and the reloading state is plugged back into default (and those gets triggered based on the bool value

[quiet pollen]

I am trying to use the same damage script on a gun for both boss enemies and normal enemies, but because they use different scripts (for different attack reasons) I can't use get component to damage them, how would I fix this because I can't find a way to getcomponent for just a script in general

[slender nymph]

separate the health out to another component and/or use an event

[quiet pollen]

Great idea thank you!

Yeah that was really easy, thank you for being smart lol

[frosty yarrow]

just make a void then add the stuff you want in it and add the void in the events in the button

[vocal veldt]

the issue was solved already but thank you

[frosty yarrow]

weird question but i am the only one who keeps forgetting how to make player movement

[teal viper]

Don't add voids anywhere! You're gonna kill us all!!

It's not voids, it's methods. Void is a return type of a method.

[frosty yarrow]

it is called in c# voids so

[slender nymph]

no it isn't, dlich is right. they are methods. void is a return type for methods

[vocal veldt]

nope

[teal viper]

They're not. No one calls it that.

[vocal veldt]

void means that the method does not return anything

[frosty yarrow]

so you forget too

[vocal veldt]

i'm new to unity so yes

[frosty yarrow]

ok chill out all of you

[vocal veldt]

i understand the logic behind player controllers but i forget exactly how to program them

[frosty yarrow]

me too

[frosty yarrow]

i was a godot user and i switched and godot way to do logic is easy so when i use unity by brain feels cooked

[vocal veldt]

i came from roblox studio so i never had to program movement myself 😭

i find c# pretty simple though coming from typescript and lua

it's kinda just the engine itself i'm unfamiliar with

[teal viper]

What is there to forget? Query the input, calculate movement vector, then use the CC movement methods or add force/set velocity of an rb.

And there are plenty of tutorials that cover that.

[vocal veldt]

yea it's easy to translate that into unity scripts when you're experienced lmao

[vocal veldt]

there are, it's about repetition though

not everyone immediately memorizes how to program it

[teal viper]

For sure. But you remember the general concept as well as where to look in case you forget(documentation)

[vocal veldt]

i do remember the concept

[frosty yarrow]

bro i came out of godot and i used c# for 2 years

[frosty yarrow]

i remember the concept too

[teal viper]

It's not the same concept. It's a different engine with different implementation and api.

[frosty yarrow]

i know the concept of unity too

[teal viper]

Which is why you need to watch a tutorial.
Or even better an organized course like those on Unity learn.

!learn

[radiant void]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[timber tide]

you don't actually need to specify return types in godot. It's a dynamic typed language

[vocal veldt]

gdscript or c#

[timber tide]

gdscript ye

ah right forgot it has c#. Doesn't work in web still x_x

[vocal veldt]

well they said they used C#

[vocal veldt]

lol

[frosty yarrow]

why people start picking on people who used godot before like the engine made good games like buckshot roulette and baking bad

[vocal veldt]

nobody is picking on you

[frosty yarrow]

k

[teal viper]

Not picking. Just correcting mistakes and misconceptions to help you grow.

[frosty yarrow]

ok

[quiet pollen]

Are we still talking about how they shouldn’t be adding black holes into their project

[frosty yarrow]

wdym

[quiet pollen]

Nope Im wrong nvm

[teal viper]

Yes. Black holes(voids) don't contribute to your project in any way.

[quiet pollen]

Also I forget how to make character controllers all the time (you brought this up earlier) it got demotivating tbh so I just have decided that whenever I make a new controller I am going to make a copy of that project and make keep it as a template

Highly recommend

Unless there is a better way to do that

[rich adder]

git for cloud backing, and or a unitypackage you don't need to keep entire copy of a project for an asset

[woven crater]

need help i dont know what happen but unity stop giving me error

it just pause without giving error . i tried to creating a nullreference error but nothing show

[teal viper]

Perhaps console settings. Click the 3 dots at the top right corner and explore the console/log related settings.
Also make sure you don't have errors toggle off(buttons near the top right of the console as well)

[woven crater]

yeah i know about that.
just deleted library folder and obj folder. it seem good now

[light cave]

I don't understand animations and my button got broken smh

i only wanted a fadeIn fadeOut animation

using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class MainMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    public Animator animator;
    void Awake()
    {
        animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    }
    public void GoToScene(string sceneName)
    {
       LoadLevel(sceneName);
    }
    public IEnumerator LoadLevel(string sceneName)
    {
        FadeIn();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
        SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneName);
        FadeOut();
    }

     public void FadeIn()
    {
        animator.ResetTrigger("End");
        animator.SetTrigger("Start");
    }

    public void FadeOut()
    {
        animator.ResetTrigger("Start");
        animator.SetTrigger("End");
    }
}

[grand snow]

You could just use an bool to do this instead and it would simplify the transitions too

Anyway we would need to see the transitions to judge whats wrong

[light cave]

but they work

it just that my BUTTON doesn't work

like i can't test it

the button itself is clickable but it does nothing somehow

but i set the function to it

[grand snow]

you have not shared anything that mentions a button

[light cave]

GoToScene is set to the button

[grand snow]

UGUI button?

[light cave]

what is UGUI

[grand snow]

unity gui, the system that uses a canvas

[light cave]

yes yes

i use that

[grand snow]

anyway make sure nothing is blocking input to your button and double check your scene has an Event System

[light cave]

chatgpt said

i have to use StartCoroutine

yes that was the problem

lmao

[grand snow]

oh shit, i didnt spot that

StartCoroutine(LoadLevel(sceneName));

[light cave]

real

i always forget that one

[light cave]

mhm

        }
    }```

same name

mixer has set

im so done man

why can't this editor change my exposed variable name to the same as i set it back then? smh

no wonder it can't find it

[lofty mirage]

can't you remove the component?

and add it back?

[light cave]

it was a AudioMixer issue

i didn't know when i expose something

i create a new varible

i just had to rename it to match my group name

smh

[stone narwhal]

how would you guys learn c# code from start if you had to

or currently learning?

[umbral wadi]

Do you know any other programming languages

I think its rather similar to java

[stone narwhal]

yeah the syntax is rather similar to c#. I know python though ha.

[stone narwhal]

how did you learn c# for unity?

[umbral wadi]

Through panicking

[stone narwhal]

oh dang

[umbral wadi]

Ive got a game Due tomorrow for a uni assignment

Im learning on the fly rn

[stone narwhal]

oh man good luck lol

[umbral wadi]

Send help

[stone narwhal]

that must be stresssful

[umbral wadi]

I have no idea what im doing

Im winging this

[stone narwhal]

😭 you've got this

[umbral wadi]

I mean most of my AI is done i just need to do the player

This has been written in like 3 days

[stone narwhal]

impressivee

see youve got it

[umbral wadi]

My current issue is detecting when the player places a new object the AI should detect if its in range and react accordingly

I hope the AI detection from my uni isnt great because im fairly sure half of this is chat gpt

My lecturer was useless

We werent taught this

[umbral wadi]

Turns out you learn the language and how unity works fast when you’re panicking

[stone narwhal]

LOL

[echo kite]

cant u just shoot raycast at lightspeed, calculate time it took for it to come back, then using speed formula u can detect range

[umbral wadi]

2d game

Top down

[echo kite]

still works

and it also works irl

[umbral wadi]

Okay youve lost me slightly

How exactly does that work

So the Zombies should detect the blue thing ans then stop

But the blue thing is placed during runtime

[rich adder]

why not just use an overlapcircle ?

[umbral wadi]

(im learning unity on the fly please explain what that is

I am a great student

XD

[rich adder]

a circle (in this case) that detects colliders inside of it

[umbral wadi]

Okay

That makes sense

And then filter that by the tag of the item?

[rich adder]

you can filter by component, tag, layers. Up to you

[umbral wadi]

Okay gimme 10 min ill attempt to code that

[echo kite]

if i shoot light then
299,792,458 (lightspeed) divided by time it took to get to zombie
so i get
Speed = distance ÷ time or mathematically expressed as s = d/t.

[umbral wadi]

like this?

[rich adder]

the concept is basically similar, you would need to use the Physics2D. variant, that one is for 3D

sphere = 3D
circle = 2D
thats why I said circle not sphere
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapCircle.html

[umbral wadi]

oops

I do that alot

[umbral wadi]

is this better?

[rich adder]

[umbral wadi]

Okey dokes

Boi i am really learning on the fly here

[rich adder]

if you're gonna return a transform, that stageTarget assignment is kinda pointless btw

[umbral wadi]

True

[rich adder]

just return either hit.transform or null

[umbral wadi]

Tank you

Its worked

Theyve stopped now to do the rest of it

[rich adder]

btw if you call this frequently you can use

public static int OverlapCircle(Vector2 point, float radius, ContactFilter2D contactFilter, List<Collider2D> results); ```
version

depending how often it gets called x how many enemies

a filter by layer will also further optimize by not having to scan unnecessary colliders like the enemy itself, walls obstacles or whatever

[umbral wadi]

Im not looking for efficent code XD

I just need it to work

If this wasnt due tomorrow i would code this better

I mean at max theres only going to be 11 objects on screen

My leturer never covered like half of this

Why am i paiying 9 grand for this degree if you dont teach me what i need to know man ;-;

[ionic flax]

Hey I was using ClientNetworkTransform in unity version 2022.3.9f1 with netcode for gameobjects 1.6.0 and it was working fine, but after updating to 2022.62f2 with netcode for gameobjects 1.12.0 it stopped working, when a server has ownership of the gameobject it moves fine on everyone's end but when the client has ownership it stops moving for all clients except the one that has ownership, does anyone know why?

[rich adder]

ehh most degrees are just scam
you can learn this stuff on your own but somehow paper "proves" you learned the necessary material for some corporate job or whatev

[umbral wadi]

Mood but need money

My degree is in robotics, I thought this would be a decent side quest

it was not

[rich adder]

#1390346492019212368

[ionic flax]

i should ask there?

[rich adder]

yes, wouldn't hurt to also provide the code / setup you have that will help others help you

[ionic flax]

okie, thanks

[rich adder]

newer versions of NetworkTransform now has a dropdown selector for Server / Owner based , idk about your version tho

[ionic flax]

i heard of that, but mine doesnt so :')

[light cave]

MY MAN

[umbral wadi]

I just need to pass man send me luck

[light cave]

good luck

i have the same issue

i wanted too much on my project

[umbral wadi]

When is yours due

[light cave]

today to be uploaded

at midnight

[umbral wadi]

Oooof

Mines tomorrow at 1pm

Any ideas why

This works

Oh never mind

I never call the other function

XD

[grand snow]

hmm yes we all understood what you meant /s

[umbral wadi]

you know when youre confused why it doesnt work and you start to type and then you realize

Ooops

XD

Never called the function

[grand snow]

many people here fail to even realise that so you are doing good 👍

[umbral wadi]

We are getting there, Only 5 more thing to implement then my write up ;-;

This has been a painful couple of days

[vocal veldt]

i'm trying to make a variable for a ui panel element but it only comes up as a debug element?

nvm the panel is an image type i guess

[grand snow]

If its ugui then yes the component used for sprite rendering is Image

[umbral wadi]

Trying to get a sprite to follow the mouse where have i gone wrong

yes i know this is a mess

Never mind forgot to save the file

IT works

XD

[twin pivot]

you can use the new input system to just get the cursor position

[twin pivot]

oh nvm

[umbral wadi]

When you code for too long easy mistakes come frequestly

[quiet pollen]

How am I supposed to make an animation that just goes up and down, I need it for a boss I am working on where he jumps into the air and when he slams down it spawns a spike, but when the animation plays he goes to 0, 0

[hot wadi]

Without codes, we can’t be sure. First, u can check if the animation is using root motion

#🏃┃animation

[quiet pollen]

I tryed to change it a bunch and am now just confused lol

also for refrence the boss is lit just a capsule

[ruby lion]

Good evening, I'm having a problem with Unity. This error code appears when I launch a project: "Code execution cannot continue because Unity.dll failed to load. Make sure you meet the system requirements for Unity."

I've tried uninstalling the Unity vrctimes and Unity Hub, restarting, and reinstalling, but the problem persists.
Thanks in advance.

[midnight tree]

You need just change this setting

By animator component

[quiet pollen]

on or off

[midnight tree]

On

[quiet pollen]

do I need an avatar

cause I dont have one

[midnight tree]

No

[quiet pollen]

is that the issue

ok

yeah that didnt fix anything

do you think it could be an issue with it being navmesh

[quiet pollen]

I figured it out

[ancient rampart]

not entirely sure if this is considered beginner, but I'm not seeing anywhere else that would be more suitable for this

in my game, I have a mode where players have to say a word from a category, I have a lot of predefined categories and words that work for them, but I also want to allow users to use their own categories in private rooms, unfortunately, having them define their own dictionary of words sounds very very unfun and kind of kills the idea of allowing user defined categories, my initial thought to get around this was ai, and while that works, I would like to avoid it if possible, but I can't think of an elegant way of doing it that doesn't result in a lot of bruteforcing or tons and tons of extra work to implement, anyone have any ideas on this?

I also need to actually have a system for "valid" answers, since this will be an online game and it does need to actually validate the answers, plus that way there aren't arguments over if a word works or not

[solar hill]

so you want a mechanic where people can create custom categories to use in private rooms but you think creating said catergories will be unfun?

[ancient rampart]

the game is essentially "say a word from the english dictionary that falls under the category"

so unless typing in hundreds and hundreds of words is fun

yeah, it'd be unfun to manually make the list of words lol

so the "creating a category" portion is mainly just choosing something that would be fun

like, unity, if you wanna play with a bunch of game dev friends

[solar hill]

this is a more of a design question

and less of a code one

try making a thread in #💻┃unity-talk you might get better answers

[ancient rampart]

hmm I guess

I just need to figure out what method to implement something like that would be solid, to get that list of valid words

[cosmic dagger]

This would be easier if they were given multiple choice with the correct word and incorrect words. There are always more than one word that fits, so allowing them to enter their own will add difficulty in creating the system . . .

[ancient rampart]

yeah, but unfortunately it's not supposed to be a quiz game, but more of a memory and endurance game

seeing how many you can think of and saying it before your time is up

and like, as I mentioned, Ai would work as a sort of "is this a valid word for category?" and then having it respond with Y/n, but that sounds overengineered and a very wasteful when it comes to resources, and it would also slow things down a lot

[mental shoal]

Can I send my game to someone to help me fix a bug with it?

[solar hill]

the entire game?
