see the graphs in the wronglerp article i linked for examples

ancient nimbus
naive pawn
#

what's the error

#

note that that method is intended to be put somewhere in your codebase and then called instead of a wronglerp call, rather than being pasted in wherever the wronglerp is

ancient nimbus
# naive pawn what's the error

i have remade it and now it's on this line actually, sorry:

PlayerRigidBody.MoveRotation(Mathf.LerpAngle(PlayerRigidBody.rotation, FlapRotation, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-FlapRotationLerpSpeed * Time.deltaTime));

You should probably just use move towards as suggested at the end

naive pawn
#

also, is this in Update or FixedUpdate

Parenthesis mismatch

lerp is just a math function

#

you can use it wherever you need the math that lerp is

Yes

also, for future reference @nocturne kayak 👇

Imo, unless you care about the state of the t value (for reversal or to be specifically at any one point between the two points) smooth damp and move towards can probably do the same with less setup.

#

doesn't sound like a code problem

tulip gust
#

true

#

which channel is better to ask this in

#

unity's UI is honestly my biggest opp so far

verbal dome
#

Or at least your previous code was

#

This looks like a different error, show code

ancient nimbus
# 
            PlayerRigidBody.MoveRotation(Mathf.LerpAngle(PlayerRigidBody.rotation, FlapRotation, 1 - Mathf.Exp(-FlapRotationLerpSpeed * Time.deltaTime)));```
#

here yea go

verbal dome
#

You are clearly lacking C# basics

ancient nimbus
#

this is the code beginner channel

verbal dome
#

So you see this on the page:

image.png
ancient nimbus
#

of course there's gonna be beginners mate

verbal dome
#

I didn't mean to sound like an asshole

#

You'd basically copy that into your class

ancient nimbus
verbal dome
#

And then inside your method you'd call PlayerRigidBody.MoveRotation(ExponentialDecay(PlayerRigidBody.rotation, FlapRotation, FlapRotationLerpSpeed, Time.deltaTime));

#

Or something like that

ancient nimbus
verbal dome
#

So: cs static float ExponentialDecay(...) { ... } void Update() { PlayerRigidBody.MoveRotation(...) }

#

What's going on here is that you declare a helper method ExponentialDecay and then call that from your Update

#

You could just skip the helper method and do it inline (like in your previous code) but this is more readable

ancient nimbus
#

i see

ah you already got answers

Im looking at some code wtf does a ? mean in c# 😭

it's called a ternary, but just googling "question mark c#" should bring that up

Have you tried answering questions if ur gonna sit in this channel 25/8

naive pawn
#

second result, for me

i know what it is

but i'm trying to tell you that there's a more effective way to get the answer you want

#

have you heard about the "teach a man to fish" analogy

#

researching your issue/question with google is also something you need to do before asking here, per the server rules #🌱┃start-here

naive pawn
#

i could give you the answer here, and then do the same when you come back to ask about other relatively basic/straightforward things
or, i could tell you that google is more than capable of answering questions like that, and save both you and me a lot of time for future questions

sry had to go for a sec while writing. So anyways, i have ver. 6.3 of the editor rn, and i wanna do create with code, which uses 6.0. Now my question is, if i should download 6.0 extra for this, or if i should stick with 6.3. Does it even make that much of a diff?

naive pawn
#

for relatively simple tutorials like that, there shouldn't be enough of a difference to matter

okay, thanks Chris

#

If I register callback on button during awake, how can I pass dynamic data that I will provide later? For example I want to change image and text on different element when I hover over a button

naive pawn
#

you could have a closure, in essence

#

presumably the thing registering the callback would know what it wants the callback to do, right?
you can use variables from the class inside the callback

wintry quarry
#

e.g.

Sprite mySprite;
string myText;

void MyCallback() {
  otherImage.sprite = mySprite;
  otherText.text = myText;
}```
fervent skiff
#

I really wanted to avoid doing it through variables 😄 But thanks

slender nymph
#

with UnityEvents on buttons you don't really have much choice

wintry quarry
#

There's not really any other way to store data in a C# program. Anything else (like a closure) is ultimately just a variable wearing a trenchcoat

shell sorrel
#

if you are registering via code i would just not use unity event

#

also you still can pass dynamic params though unity event

#

just make it a concrete class first then use that

fervent skiff
#

UI is really driving me mad

grand snow
shell sorrel
#

otherwise i would just sub with a function that already has ref to what you need, or make a closure to do it

#

yes, c# is a c-style language

it pulls a lot of syntax from c

visual junco
#

I'm currently following a tutorial for player movement and rotation, why does rb.velocity show up like this

#

is the tutorial outdated

viral warren
#

rb.velocity only works for the version below 6, in the latest version it is changed to rb.linearvelocity

your editor should also tell you this im pretty sure

guys can someone fix a script for me im new to unity

29d7461ea873b17a.PNG
naive pawn
#

you have 2 classes called NameScript

gilded cypress
#

yeah i know i tryed chatgpt to fix the scrip it just gave me 15 new errors

naive pawn
#

consider not doing that

solar hill
#

didnt you also have this same issue yesterday?

naive pawn
#

just name them properly

gilded cypress
#

yeah

solar hill
#

and it was clear you are missing some basic fundamentals of c# and unity

naive pawn
#

open the file, change the class name to what it should be, save

solar hill
#

and everyone recommended you watch some tutorials

#

rather than asking for help with very basic issues

gilded cypress
#

i didnt know what you ment

#

i did try to watch some

solar hill
gilded cypress
#

yeah i watched that

solar hill
#

you want people to fix your issues for you rather than actually learning, this isnt the channel or server for that

naive pawn
gilded cypress
#

i did try to fix it i couldnt do it i ask chatgpt and he gave me 15 new errors just like i siad

naive pawn
#

yeah, don't

#

chatgpt is not a replacement for thinking

#

chatgpt just won't really help you at this stage in learning

#

you gotta do things yourself

#

put some thought into it

#

yikes

#

aight

solar hill
#

then... dont be

gilded cypress
#

huh

naive pawn
#

good luck with.. existing on discord

solar hill
#

see you in a year ig lol

naive pawn
#

aaaand there goes your account

gilded cypress
#

what..

#

im cooked

solar hill
#

yeah rip to your acc, if you so much as say "im age" even out of context the discord auto detection will actually block your account

naive pawn
#

to be blunt, you clearly don't have the maturity to interact in online spaces safely and productively

solar hill
#

also this

#

perhaps consider discord 13+ rating is there for a reason

naive pawn
#

also google 13+ restriction, facebook 13+ restriction, etc...

solar hill
#

you are way too young to be given unsupervised internet access especially on a social platform like discord

gilded cypress
#

yeah

solar hill
#

there is a reason for this and you arent rebelious or cool because you choose to avoid them, you are only putting yourself in actual danger

naive pawn
#

though keep in mind that turning 13 does not automatically give you that maturity

solar hill
#

also this, in fact im of the belief all social medias including discord should not be acessible to children under the age of 16

#

from my own experience being a dumb 15 year old on discord almost a decade ago

naive pawn
#

i recommend to just stop relying on chatgpt to think for you. maybe consider stop using it altogether, and same with any other genAI/LLM stuff. start thinking and learning for yourself.

solar hill
#

also yeah youre 12 and already relying on chatgpt to solve these kinds of issues..... this next gen might actually be cooked

#

where is Meina gladstone when you need her

teal viper
#

Why you guys bullying a deleted account? 😬

solar hill
#

oh i guess they did actually get their account banned on discord bruh

naive pawn
#

no way

solar hill
#

they have an automatic filter if you so much as insinuate you are under 13 years old

#

not even in that context

#

you litterally cant say "im number" in any context because the filter can just delete the account

naive pawn
#

reminds me of that "i'm [int] and my gf is [int] \n\n are our levels too far apart?"

teal viper
#

Maybe they deleted it themselves when realized they're breaking the rules? Have some faith in humanity.

rustic moat
#

That would have been abnormally quick for a discord ban

raven perch
#

I'm starting to get into some procedural generation and was looking for some high level advice. I'm likely just going to start with BSP and work my way through some other popular algorithms. Does anyone have any experienced advice on data storage strategies to go with (such as lists, dictionaries, primitive arrays?)

#

For instance, ive seen some tips out there were people stored the generated maps in both arrays and in hashsets, one used for rendering and one used for pathfinding. I'm just getting caught in the nuance of learning what data structures I want to go with.

teal viper
raven perch
#

I still ahve to figure out how I want to preview generated maps too. I'd been just writing my own pixel data to a material but I thought perhaps unitys tilemap would be an interesting way to preview generated maps before i build a level out of the map data.

i want to make a cube look like a 6 sided die

#

and i want to use pixel art for the texture

#

how would i do that? could i make one sprite with all sides of the die, then use that as a texture?

#

if so, how would i set that sprite up?

rich adder
wintry dew
#

How could i make an object be in two layers? I need it to be in Ground for player collisions, however i also need it in EditorObject for being detected by the editor camera, and making the box collider "include" the layer doesnt detect the raycast.

rich adder
wintry dew
#

is there an analogous fix to that

rustic moat
# wintry panther i want to make a cube look like a 6 sided die

There's a few ways to do this. The simplest way is just model a die in blender and make it look like pixel art in the sides and just use that.

You can also make a texture for each side in any drawing tool and import each 2d texture in. Then make an object that is just a cube with texture renderers on each side with the texture you made set to them.
If you want more info you should go to the art chnnels

sour fulcrum
#

why does it need to be editorobject to be detected by the editorcamera

naive pawn
sour fulcrum
#

(if your trying to ignore stuff in a camera usually people have a dedicated hidden layer)

wintry dew
sour fulcrum
#

i don't understand

raven perch
#

could you use a tag for ground?

sour fulcrum
#

layer for ground is fairly common

wintry dew
#

im already using tags for other things and that wouldnt be consistent

rich adder
#

being detected by the editor camera

#

explain this better

wintry dew
#

the camera raycasts to the editorObject layer

#

so it can detect those

sour fulcrum
#

why

wintry dew
#

when im in for example play mode, do i manually switch the layers of the objects?

rich adder
#

why not just give it the ground layer

#

you could technically make a script for editor and switch it up

sour fulcrum
#

Generally (and ideally) nothing in your build scene/code should be composed for specific editor related code (one big exception is OnDrawGizmos though)

wintry dew
# rich adder why not just give it the ground layer

Well there would be some objects that in the editor should not collide with the player, so i wouldnt want them to be ground, but all should be detectable through the script i wrote that raycasts EditorObjects

wintry dew
sour fulcrum
#

That makes a lot more sense ok

wintry dew
#

yeah sorry for the confusion

sour fulcrum
#

When you say Editor people are going to assume Unity Editor

wintry dew
#

yeah i forgot about that one

#

well does this mean i have to manually change layers when switching to playtest mode?

sour fulcrum
#

I don't recall if you were the other person doing this kind of thing last month or not but generally making a editor in unity is a big design pain because of issues like this

#

as your trying to re-create editor behaviour but using editor behaviour will overlap

wintry dew
#

nah i havent discussed this here yet

rich adder
wintry dew
#

i actualy have mine working pretty well so far but switching to playtest mode is whats currently tricky

#

so i give each object like an OnPlaytest method that runs when the event for switching to playtest mode is called?

rich adder
#

is this going to be a game or what? whats the purpose of this

sour fulcrum
#

Offtopic but just a heads up if you haven't ran into it, you can't make new Tags at runtime

wintry dew
#

well yeah i have the game just making an editor for it for the players, along with for me personally making additional levels

wintry dew
#

i might as well just give it some guid

rich adder
#

no, join a jam

#

Oh sorry

sour fulcrum
#

So just two cents for this editor thing, less a direct solution but just general vibe that might lead you to one

Try and avoid tag usage as much as possible since they are rigid at runtime, just use components and trygetcomponents instead
Generally honestly try and avoid layer usage as much as possible since you run into this double purpose issue, especially try and avoid editor related usage if you can

Swapping layers at runtime before and after you do specific things is probably a solid route but for other non raycast related things I'd also look into this as a solution tool:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreCollision.html https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreLayerCollision.html

You can specifically ignore collisions between two colliders and between two layers. Since your likely spawning everything via code you should have easy enough access to these kinda references

#

Good thing about making a runtime editor is generally you probably have way more room to do cursed shit performance wise

wintry dew
#

I guess id just store a variable that says if something should be ignored in collisions at runtime or something if i need to

but my main question is why is it not dealing the damage to the health script of the player once the projectile hits the player?

frail hawk
#

make sure the OnTriggerEnter is being called, use a Debug.Log

Does it work when you press V?

ashen harness
# 
    public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {

        Debug.Log("Collided with: " + other.gameObject.name);
        // Check if the object we collided with has a Health component
        Health health = other.GetComponent<Health>();
        if (health != null)
        {
            // Deal damage to the health component
            health.TakeDamage(damage);

            // Destroy the projectile after hitting the target
            Destroy(gameObject);
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("No Health component found on: " + other.gameObject.name);
        }
    }```
#

added the Debug.Log

frail hawk
#

so can you see the message now

ashen harness
#

and nothings being posted in the console when the projectile hits

Screenshot_343.png
frail hawk
#

ok then the OnTriggerEnter is not being called, make sure you fulfill all requirements for that

#

you need to mark the collider as "isTrigger" on the target objects the projectile hits

ashen harness
#

Ahhhh i see now

#

it works now

Screenshot_345.png
#

tysm

#

i just added the istrigger to the projectile itself so it can be multipurposed later on

frail hawk
#

ideally you would not have isTrigger on your objects, you would then check for OnCollisionEnter instead. isTrigger is for obbjects that would not collide with anything, for example coins that you collect but you dant want collisions to occur

ashen harness
#

I'll keep that in mind and now i get to try adding an hp bar to the enemy and letting the player shoot something back lmao

Hi guys. Im creating the first game drag&drop and i have code here

and I want the cube not to go beyond the camera and for it to have a distance from the mouse to see where you want to put it but the ratio changes I don't understand why I want it to be the same so that the cube has a small distance from the mouse and as you can see the code doesn't really help so that the cube doesn't go beyond the camera How can I improve my code?

How strongly is it advised to finish a Singleplayer game first before even attempting anything multiplayer, I'm not wanting to make anything super advanced, just to be able to simply connect peer-peer no dedicated server stuff etc. I'm aware that it's a bit of a nightmare to convert Singleplayer projects to multiplayer, just wondering how feasible it is to make something very simple that has rudimentary multiplayer

#

(if this is the wrong place to post this I apologise)

keen dew
#

Making something very simple and rudimentary is not terribly hard, making something polished that other people might want to play is

#

So it all depends on what the actual goal is

Fair enough, il have a look then, just wanted to ask beforehand as have seen a lot of recommendations to entirely avoid multiplayer for any purpose before finishing a Singleplayer project

For example cs public enum MyEnum : long for 64-bit

You came up with your first game, you can do the same for your second. 🤷‍♂️

Not sure why people need other people to tell them what to do. You're dedicating a lot of time and effort to make things, it shouldn't be random people on the Internet telling you how to spend it lol.

Hey guys I’ve got a question. How am I able to detect to my player is taller than a game object yk?

#

Any ideas of that

rocky canyon
#

basic math 😉

stone narwhal
#

I thought of maybe doing a sphere ray cast

#

Just seeing if there’s nothing, then I’m taller

stone narwhal
rocky canyon
# 
  public Collider playerCol;
    public Collider targetCol;

    void Update()
    {
        if (!playerCol || !targetCol) return;

        float playerHeight = playerCol.bounds.size.y;
        float targetHeight = targetCol.bounds.size.y;

        if (playerHeight > targetHeight)
        {
            Debug.Log("PLAYER TALLER");
        }
    }```
#

if they are the same size (scale) u can use the bounds of the renderer or the collider

stone narwhal
#

Ah ok

#

Thanks !

rocky canyon
#

use a collider/trigger/raycast etc to get the transform of the other object

#

then the comparison should be relatively simple

#

it just exposes it in the inspector and makes it editable.. (still private behind the scenes)

#

the default access modifier is private. That's why your field is private

They would still be private without serializeField:

float EcurrentHealth, EmaxHealth = 100;```
ashen harness

Ahh gotcha

#

makes sense

but once you made it public there was no point for serializefield being there anymore so thats why i told you to get rid of that as well

Hello quick question. So I want to detect if something enters a collision with a box collider, so I should use OnTriggerEnter. But the thing is that I have the script attached to a different game object, so if I do OnTriggerEnter, it will try to find the box collider of the game object my script is attached to, but I can't do something like myboxcollider.OnTriggerEnter . So what should i do?

You can also just make a script which raises an event / UnityEvent when OnTriggerEnter fires. Then anything can subscribe to it can run a callback.

Howdy, I'm trying to setup a Node (in 3d space) for specific location where multiple units can go, and I would like it to work in a way that - as more units arrive at that node, they will get arranged in "esteticaly pleasing" way.. always forming n-gon .. sort of like on the very well made picture of mspaint..

As I don't know theroretical maximum of units at single node, instead of creating each scenario by hand placing empty game objects...My thoughts were to make a circular spline with expanding radius based on amount of units present (as a child for example) along which I would distribute those units in equaly distant matter. Therefore if there was only one unit present, radius would be barely noticable, but as more units would arrive it would grow. Does that make any sort of sense? Can someone point me atleast towards some way/name of what I'm trying to achieve?

if i disable the torque in the y axis it wont roatet it

at all but then when i apply torque in just y it rotates in all directions

Is it a child of another object and/or does it have children with any components?

sterile wraith
#

the boat is an empty gameobjec.t the body is the actual gameobjrct with teh bollider. then the rudder is an empty which si the pivot. the fin is the actual fin.

#

i apply the torque on the y axis to the boat becuase it has the rigidbody.

#

fin has box collider rudder nothing

  1. this is a code channel
  2. you need to fix the UVs for the model or edit the material to set the tiling you want

Since that looks like it came from a prototype texture asset, they typically expect you to use their triplanar shader they provide, or your own triplanar shader.

ah I see thx

sterile wraith

but why

#

😭

I bet you are rotating the fin with transform

What if you disable that code but enable the fin?

Rigidbodies dont work well with transform modifications, be it child or not

hii , me again, does unity have a system of auto scrolling ? with the textmeshpro?

sterile wraith

thats very annoying tho

sterile wraith
#

use quaterniosn rotations?

verbal dome
#

Probably a Joint

sterile wraith
#

quaternions wouldn teven fix it?

verbal dome
#

No, the issue is that you are modifying the transform

sterile wraith
#

and thats not good with rigidbodies?

verbal dome
#

No

sterile wraith
#

do u know why?

#

that way i can alleviate future issues

#

and why disabling the box collider fixed it bc i didnt think that had to do w transforms

verbal dome
#

Because the physics engine has its own way of moving rigidbodies/their transforms

verbal dome
sterile wraith
verbal dome
#

When you disable it, the rigidbody just ignores it

#

Transform rotating a child with no collider is fine

sterile wraith
sterile wraith
# verbal dome Transform rotating a child with no collider is fine

im trying to read through the physics engine source code to understand why and it seems like the a child part changes the mass center. the file nprigidbody.cpp updates the balance point and the spin axes immediately. then if you move that child part the spin axes tilt away from the world axes. the integrator in dybodycoreintegrator.cpp takes the torque and applies it to the tilted axes. bc the axes are tilted the force makes the object spin on multiple sides at once. so like the engine sees a lopsided shape and acts accordingly.

#

thats what im able to parse from it

#

that was my first suspicion abt the shape being changed due to the collider, but when i debugged the center of mass, it didnt change in the console so 🤷‍♂️

I made a cube that rotates randomly, and now i want it to slow down and land on the face that is closest to the ground plane. how could i do that and find out which face it's sitting on?

#

the cube is a d6 die and i want it to stop rotating after a while and land on the face closest to the ground

naive pawn
#

break that problem up into smaller tasks and figure them out one by one

wintry quarry
wintry panther
#

if you search up "roll d6" in google, it shows you a virtual dice roll. How is google doing the rotation for those dice?

wintry quarry
#

It's precisely how I did it when I solved this exact problem 6 years ago

wintry panther
#

right now, my die just rolls in a rnadom direction

wintry panther
#

but google's version rolls around, not just one direction

wintry quarry
#

it's just showing a random number in front of it at the end of the animation

#

there aren't even numbers on the faces as it rolls

wintry panther
#

right. im just wondering whats the best way to simulate a dice roll in my game. it needs to be fair

wintry quarry
#

You'll need to explain what your constraints are exactly

wintry panther
#

right now, i just pick a random direction and it rolls for a bit, then slows down

#

there is no ground in my game. its just a 2d game with a 3d die in it

#

the die needs to rotate randomly without moving its position

wintry quarry
#

one option is to do something similar to what google is doing - show some kind of animation and then just pick a random number to show.

wintry panther
#

then land on a side

wintry quarry
#

that's kinda how Baldur's Gate does it too

wintry panther
#

yeah baldurs gate does it, but that die moves around as well

#

i want a stationary die to roll in place

wintry quarry
#

you could record it manually, or you randomize the rolling direction over time and then have it stop

wintry panther
#

ah right true

#

i'll have to try randomizing the roll direction

#

im thinking based on what the current direction is

#

so say its rolling upwards, the randomness will make it roll slightly differently from upwards

naive pawn
#

you could also set random linear/angular velocities and have it play out physically (then detect the top face with what praetor mentioned)

#

like with nintendo's yahtzee

wintry panther
#

there is no ground. the die is floating essentially

naive pawn
#

but that might not work out with your intended UI/UX

wintry panther
#

and i dont want to move the position ever

naive pawn
#

(not a suggestion, just a train of thought) i wonder how jank it'd look if you simulated it physically and just had a camera following it to make it look like it's in the same position (without showing the geometry it's colliding with)

wintry panther
#

yeah, but with that, the camera would move when it shouldnt, at least for my game

naive pawn
#

nah, a separate camera just for the cube

wintry panther
#

ah right haha

How can i learn input system in unity ?
there are many videos and all of them teaches different methods

naive pawn
#

there's a lot of ways to use the new input system

#

options, in no particular order (because i don't have the brainpower to sort them right now)

  • InputActionReference as a serialized field, poll that
  • InputActionReference as a serialized field, subscribe to that
  • PlayerInput component with messages
  • PlayerInput component with UnityEvents
  • PlayerInput component with C# Events (not sure what that entails)
  • Generated class, poll that
  • Generated class, subscribe to that
#

this list is not exhaustive

script system is good or inbuilt one?

its a bit hard to explain i might take a vid of it

#

the player should stop after coming up to the step (happens near the end of the vid)

frail hawk
#

you want to be able to go upstaris only when facing straight forward

#

if i understood correctly

#

you´d have to get the angle from your player to the stairs normals

wraith moon
frail hawk
#

could we see the code for moving the player

#

looks like you are transforming the player instead of using physics

wraith moon
#

im using addforce to move the player

frail hawk
#

you could place bigger colliders manually if you only have a few of these steps of course or are these this procedurally generated steps

wraith moon
#

theyre manual but i feel like that would be a bit jank in general honestly

#

i want something that would work universally

frail hawk
#

i see

#

it is straight forward, how to detect high steps. you could simply use a raycast from the heigth of the player knees forward, but how you prevent the player from going forward could be tricky

wraith moon
#

okay i figured out exactly what's happening

#

when i mfacing exactly straight, the player automatically stops (expected behavior)

#

but any sort of deviation messes up

        rb.linearVelocity = MoveDir * PlayerSpeed * Time.deltaTime;

    }
}

it is not good no make use of input axis instead

balmy vortex
#

wbt the actual methods themselves though

#

cuz I'm going to have to add a lot of different sound cues and I don't want it to get rly messy

frail hawk
#

methods would be called nearly at the same time, i dont see any cue here

#

also inside the Update you are calling the method every frame, i dont think that is what you want

#

if you want some kind of delay or cue you could use a Coroutine

edgy tangle
#

Why don’t you just play the AudioSource where you set the bool to true? Then you don’t need to be checking it with Update

balmy vortex
edgy tangle
#

Your bool playLeftDoorSoundCue in the if clause

naive pawn
#

you have significant spaghetti here

#

these methods basically just do 1 thing that can honestly be inlined

balmy vortex
#

oh sure

edgy tangle
#

You also have a method and bool with the same name

naive pawn
#

making systems more modular is nice, but at some point it becomes incoherent

balmy vortex
naive pawn
# balmy vortex this

i'm extrapolating a lot here, but do you really need separate AudioSources for something like this? you could have a single audiosource that's configured (spatial/volume stuff) and just play one shots with separate clips instead

edgy tangle
#

Yeah you have several steps for something that could be a single line

balmy vortex
#

or like how does this work

naive pawn
balmy vortex

Anyone got a tutorial on how to do something similar to source's bodygroups? To toggle a model part on and off?

cosmic quail
golden notch
#

So make a prefab where different pieces of the model are separate gameobjects?

#

how would I ensure the parts go where they need to relative of each other?

cosmic quail

#

Oh so they will already be separated when importing?

Is unity going to make a .meta file for all jsons or something?

slender nymph
#

every asset, including json files you import into the project will have an associated meta file

naive pawn
#

every folder has a meta file as well. these are features, not bugs

ok

ok so i can't figure out how to add more inputs to my setup. I remember having a list of different things and now it's not there

Hay so I'm just having a general issue with something.
So I have on script called LedgeTriggerScript that just triggers if the player is in the ledge trigger space. Now I just need to set up a way for that script to tell the PlayerMovement script that the player is in a ledge trigger space, so I can it can do a clime movement.

#

This is in the PlayerMovement

How to Set Input

To set Active Input Handling, go to:
Project Settings > Player > Active Input Handling

• Input Manager (Old): Use the original Input settings.
• Input System Package (New): Uses the new input system package.
• Both: Use both systems.

Ah you need to upgrade to the last 2019 version so you can get v 1.12

#

Or upgrade from 2019

#

1.0.2 is ancient

sour palm
grand snow
# sour palm how would I do that?

add a function to your class and call it. That is basic c# which you should already know

public void SetClimbState(bool enabled){...
//Elsewhere
pm.SetClimbState(true);
golden notch
grand snow
#

you install a different version...

#

thats just selecting from your currently installed ones

#

also why tf are you on ancient hub too

#

god damn

golden notch
#

haven't messed with it in a while

grand snow
golden notch
#

how much is going to break if i upgrade?

#

Very little to nothing but you should use source control so there is no risk

otherwise make a full backup beforehand

Compiler Error CS0103

It was just an example

You need to define the function and call it on the instance you get via GetComponent

I tried that too but I got a Parameter and argument mismatch error.

#

OnTriggerEnter is something unity calls via physics / trigger enter not something you call manually

#

a ledge grab system kinda over scoped for someone who doesn't know basics of C# / calling methods from other components

#

if you only have a bool that controls "IsLedgeGrabbing" you would use a method or set the field yourself

#

why OnTriggerEnter(true) was ever a thing? their example did not do that

sour palm
#

OnTriggerEnter is what my ledge detection method is called. It something i found from some tutorial a while ago.

rich adder
floral garden
#

did you mean enable OnTrigger ?

rich adder
#

if they mean the bool then yes, but thats not a method

#

also for clarity most bools are prefixed with Is

floral garden
#

i have never see someone put a true on OnTriggerEnter.

floral garden
rich adder
floral garden
#

okk

rich adder
#

LedgeObject for a bool name is confusing cause it implies an object not a state/bool

floral garden
#

oh i think i will do it too

#

i don't think i am adding Is as prefix on my bool too

rich adder
#

its not a hard rule but it helps identify a bool, if you think about they are simple states

#

IsSleepy IsCrouching etc.

#

On prefix usually for Events

#

OnHit etc.

floral garden
#

let me note it in my doc

rich adder
#

😂

#

I sense some sarcasm ✍️

floral garden
#

hahaha

rich adder
#

anyway OP should probably scale down the scope until they get better at C# basics

floral garden
#

i am not joking if you think so, i am i think still a new and i need to make a doc so my project can be more clean

#

hmm , damn i forget what i was coming for :/

rich adder
#

this PDF goes over some of the stuff I mentioned

floral garden
#

thanks

rich adder
floral garden
#

damn

#

gonna need to refactor some code

rich adder
#

I mean just for the future, you don't have to refactor unless it really messes with your clarity, the important part is if YOU understand your own code today, tomorrow and months/years from now

floral garden
#

but if i am working in team

rich adder
#

certainly helps if everyone is on the same page, and if you follow "standard" naming practices then its easier than making your own, but you can certainly do the latter too

floral garden
#

well, if they need to know anythingj, they will ask me anyways event if the code is
in add(x,y)
return x+y;

sour palm
#

Alright I got it working thanks for the help.

Curious now i know its not really proper but how much would a workplace be bothered if i named my variables starting with a capitol ie int MyInt instead of int myInt been doing it like this since the beggining since the first ever youtube video i watched on programming had it written as such.

#

Stuff is made from my nightmares, and 90% of the reason i hate godot

teal viper
#

Well, snake case is a standard in some languages. If you're gonna have to write python you might need to use it.

rough granite
#

Same with lua, though not many things use this as far as i know

teal viper
#

In Game dev, various tools are often written in python, so depending on what your company does, you might have to do it at some point.
And it's really not that bad. You can even delegate it to AI 99% of time and just confirm there are no issues.

rough granite
#

You can even delegate it to AI 99% of time
Bruh

#

Though i guess that makes sense it's like the language ai was made in right?

teal viper
#

Not really. It's just that most of the code shared online is python, so there's more training data for it.

#

But to be honest, this is kind of an overstatement.
More than that, simple tools usually don't have complex architecture and huge codebase, so it's harder for ai to mess up.

rough granite
#

Fair fair, i do recall seeing awhile ago about someone who was using ai and it wiped a whole database on them cause they hadn't restricted its access

teal viper
#

Honestly these "wiped the whole database" cases are probably 90% a human error. I bet they had things set up in a dangerous way or gave incorrect instructions and probably were not entirely aware how things work. I've been using agentic ai coding for more than an year now(both personally and at work), and I didn't have single case where a model would even get close to making such a critical mistake.

#

Usually it's more like messing up a powershell command syntax or forgetting to add a namespace using.

#

Which is extremely rare as of today as well.

what is a good workflow, making a centralized script that handles inventory slots, or make a script on the slot itself that handles dragging, splitting, and drag'n'drop?

looks like you're trying to load a scene that hasn't been added to the scene list or build profile

covert wave
#

I thought I did

#

@wintry quarry

wintry quarry
#

your error says you're trying to load the scene at index 2

covert wave
#

So how do i fix the error

wintry quarry
#

you can see the scene indices right here

wintry quarry
covert wave
#

This was the code

wintry quarry
#

Well it's pretty clear what the issue is from reading this code, no?

#

If you're in scene 1 and you run this code it will try to load scene 2

#

change the code to not do that

covert wave
#

I apologize im brand new to unity/coding Im sorry.

wintry quarry
#

You have nothing to apologize for

covert wave
#

Do I remove the + 1?

wintry quarry
#

No

#

Think about it

#

What should happen when you run Play and you're in scene 1 already?

#

you need to decide what should happen in that case

#

only when you come up with an answer to that question will you be able to write the code to do it

covert wave
#

fahhh

wintry quarry
#

It's not a trick question

covert wave
#

Lowkey my mind is broken it kind of is for me

wintry quarry
#

Do you want it to:

  • Do nothing?
  • Load scene 0 again?
  • Load scene 1 again?
  • something else?
covert wave
#

It a loading screen so, I want it to change from the scene including the loading screen to the actual game scene

wintry quarry
#

which scene is the loading scene and which is the actual game scene?

#

I only see "MainMenu" and "Game" in your scene list

covert wave
#

0 is the loading screen / main menu

#

1 is the actual game

wintry quarry
#

Well your error is indicating that you are actually running this code when you're already in the game scene

#

so you need to figure out why that's happening and stop it from happening

#

that's your issue

guys i need help, for the OnTriggerEnter2D function, how do i specify which objects i want it to check for? For example: i have an enemy, when the player collides with the enemy the game ends, but right now if the enemy collides with something else (fx. another enemy) the game also ends. How do i specify so it's only on collision with the player?

CompareTag gives a boolean, you'd check if the incoming collider has the right tag

Exactly what you're looking for.

naive pawn

but it's with magic strings, i'd recommend using layers for this. it fits very nicely with your usecase

you can configure some layers to not collide with certain other layers in project settings > physics/physics2d > layer collision matrix

Tutorials and practice. There's no magic solution if that's what you're hoping for.

And add discipline to keep your scope small when starting out so you can achieve actual results.

You just did?

  1. If you plan on making something with the intention of making money off it, it's too big for you

  2. If you plan on making something that the internet has convinced you is easy to make (ie, non-tutorial youtubers saying things like "I made GTA6 in 2 weeks"), it's too big for you.

  3. If the idea would require more than one person to complete it's too big for you

  4. If the idea includes any type of coop it's too big for you

  5. If the idea is your dream project, it's too big for you

#

If the idea is boring, simple, and nobody around you will care to play it or find it impressive, then it's the right scope.

# desert leaf How can I master on scripting? I have fundamental knowledge on c#(for unity ofc)...

Just scripting or game development overall? This is a Unity game development server so we're more focused overall on the development of games. Relative to my own experiences, you'd be a good-enough of a scripter when you're able to implement your designs.
Assuming knowing c# and the Unity API isn't a concern anymore where you'd be able to quickly lookup what's needed when necessary and produce your wanted behavior.

it might turn into something but if it doesn't then its whatever because it was a project for learning

Vector3 MoveDirection = new Vector3(HorizontalInput * CurrentSpeed * Time.deltaTime, PlayerRB.linearVelocity.y, VerticalInput * CurrentSpeed * Time.deltaTime).normalized;

guys i was wondering if it was useless to add: * Time.deltaTime

naive pawn
#

it makes it incorrect in this case

ancient nimbus
#

oh wow thanks

naive pawn
#

you're normalizing this vector making it a direction - the y value shows it's a direction of speed
the x and z values have CurrentSpeed * Time.deltaTime, meaning they're positions (or rather, delta positions)

so you basically compare 2 values that don't represent the same thing here

#

if you (for example) added * Time.deltaTime to the second parameter, making the entire thing a deltaPosition, then it wouldn't matter since it's normalized (magnitude doesn't matter) and it's shared between all 3 components - you could remove all 3 in that case and get the same result

i decided to add camera control which i think i should have done earlier, i used cinemachine but how can i make the movement depend on Head rotation too?

```  // GET WASD INPUT
  float VerticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
  float HorizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");

  // USE  WASD INPUT TO MAKE A VECTOR3 THAT IS NORMALIZED AND MULTIPLIED BY THE CURRENT SPEED
  Vector3 MoveDirection = new Vector3(HorizontalInput, 0f, VerticalInput).normalized * CurrentSpeed;
  

  PlayerRB.linearVelocity = new Vector3 (MoveDirection.x, PlayerRB.linearVelocity.y, MoveDirection.z);```

I'm having to deal with multiple unity version compatibility changes and the way I'm handling it is by using preprocessor directives to switch on detected versions. Will this work the way I expect it to? I feel dumb asking but I need some assurance. See screenshot. Youll see if I'm on a specific version where the API changed implementation then hit that code, now if its 2022.2 or anything in between that and 6000 will it hit that code? Then finally if neither are true and we're on pre-2022.2 itll hit some legacy implementation?

Sounds good, thanks. I've only had to deal with preprocessor directives with enterprise code stuff so unity is a bit heavy handed with their use but I appreciate that they have these

For some reason it says it's null when it's not?

amountMesh is null. Notice how the section for it in the log is empty

#

To see it better wrap it in quotations

golden notch
#

it should't be null

zenith cypress
#

It either can't find the object, or it doesn't have that component on it.

golden notch
#

the debug.log shows "object", not n"null"

#

ok so i guess it is null... why is it null? I set it in OnStart

zenith cypress
#

If you mean this, that's the function you are calling. Debug.Log with the object parameter. The log itself will show it being null easier if you wrap the object in quotations. Or Debug.Log($"'{amountMesh}' is null? {amountMesh==null} with amount {amount}");

#

And in any case, if this is just a label or similar, you can also just expose it to the inspector and assign it there to not have this problem :)
