is fadeduration correctly declared

[solemn cedar]

yeah its 2 in the editor

[frail hawk]

ok may i ask why you are not using a simple animation for this

[solemn cedar]

that might be a better idea

i'll try that

[frail hawk]

that is why animations exist

[solemn cedar]

i settled on using the same post process volume im using for a hue shift and just slowly lowering the exposure

[rough granite]

I know no off topic (sorry) but your role "resident" how did you get it?

[signal gyro]

quick question, i have a trigger that isnt showing up in my inspector (i have a door opening for a pressure plate type of thing and the pressure plate isnt showing up) to be more specific it does show up once then it just doesnt appear as an option

[naive pawn]

what do you mean "as an option", where are you expecting to see it?

[signal gyro]

like on the script im trying to pick the object as the trigger and it just isnt in the list of objects to choose from

i try to drag and drop it and it still doesnt let me

[naive pawn]

just drag the object in

is it the right type for the collider you have?

[signal gyro]

yup

[naive pawn]

what type is it, and what component are you trying to target on that other object

[signal gyro]

its just one door thats not cooperating

[signal gyro]

box collider thats a trigger thats ment to play a door opening animation

[naive pawn]

(go check, don't answer from memory, these are debugging steps)

[signal gyro]

one door works pefectly the other is giving me this problem

[naive pawn]

what type is the field declared with, and what component does that pressureplate have

[signal gyro]

i dont have it specified

im making a rube goldberg machine so i didnt think itll give me an issue

[naive pawn]

you have a serialized field that you're trying to drag the pressure plate object into, correct?

[signal gyro]

yup

[naive pawn]

what type did you declare for that field

[signal gyro]

trigger

[naive pawn]

and you have a class called trigger, or...?

[signal gyro]

yea

[naive pawn]

and that pressure plate has the trigger? (don't assume, go check)

[signal gyro]

i used for like 4 other scripts all worked

yea it does

[naive pawn]

and these are both in the scene?

you aren't trying to drag something from the scene into a prefab, right

[signal gyro]

yea

[naive pawn]

what happens when you drag that object in

[signal gyro]

it just give me this 🚫

on my mouse

[wintry quarry]

WRong type

[golden notch]

it was yeah

[fickle plume]

This is a code channel. Do you have a relevant question?

[solar hill]

This is also such a specific question with no 1 clear answer lol

The equivalent of asking "how do i make a million dollars"

[solemn cedar]

anyone know why my game functions so differently in build compared to editor?

its not a specific issue this time but so many things work in editor but not in build

[solar hill]

Can you be more specific?

First thought is anything that is frame rate dependant being affected because build runs faster than the editor

[solemn cedar]

clicks aren't being registered in the build for some reason

but its perfectly fine in the editor

[solar hill]

So ui issue?

If thats what you mean by "click"

[solemn cedar]

im using the legacy input system so just

mouse 0

i could try switch to the new one

[chrome apex]

Not code related but no proper channel for it...

Anyway, is there a way to search for components. I have a capsule collider on my player somewhere but cannot for the life of me find where as I got a billion children.

Is there an easy way to do this?

[slender nymph]

have you looked at the player logs to make sure there aren't any errors that are causing this

[polar acorn]

Have you considered searching for a function that might allow you to get a component in children in the docs

[chrome apex]

nvm, it was a disabled char controller component.

[solemn cedar]

i've found at that there is a missing script that isnt being created in a prefab

it works in editor but the script isnt there in build

[slender nymph]

how have you determined that the "script isnt there in build"

-# i'm gonna bet this is actually a script execution order issue causing an NRE

[solemn cedar]

        if (pointInfo == null)
        {
            audioSource3.Play();
        }```
i have a noise set to play in build

[zenith cypress]

Since you said not code-related (for the future) you can do t:ComponentType in the hierarchy to find objects that have a component type. Can do that in your player prefab easily, or can shift+F the player object in the scene (hides everything else) then do the same search and ignore the ones that have the hidden icon. Quick Search lets you do more refined searches too, but the prefab type search is the simplest.

[solemn cedar]

there are probably much better ways to do this but

first way i could think of

[slender nymph]

so i will ask again, how have you determined that a script isn't there in the build. this does not prove anything related to that assumption.

[solemn cedar]

if there is a script, then point info will not be null, and the noise wont play

the noise doesnt play in editor and the game works fine

but in build it plays and breaks

[slender nymph]

that doesn't mean that a "script isnt there in build"
that just means a variable is null and that the object you are calling GetComponent on does not have that component attached.

[solemn cedar]

alright

[slender nymph]

have you actually bothered to read the logs to see if there are relevant errors or did you just ignore that part and pretend you can debug without doing it?

[solemn cedar]

my bad, i got the editor logs mixed up with the build logs

where do i find the logs?

[slender nymph]

You have abilities and guns how do you not know how to switch up your own system ?

[solemn cedar]

what do i look for in logs?

[slender nymph]

errors?

[solemn cedar]

this is a lot of text, anything specific?

[slender nymph]

you need to look for errors. that is as specific as i can get because we literally do not know if there are any errors or what they are because you haven't checked yet

that looks like it's from the editor logs

or possibly the hub logs

[solemn cedar]

i went to the path on here

[slender nymph]

my bad, i assumed you knew how to read and use common sense and would click the "Documentation" link there since i said you needed to check the player logs and didn't say anything about the editor or hub logs

[solemn cedar]

d3d12: failed to query info queue interface (0x80004002).

this looks relevant

i have no clue why but the build also seems to be outdated

i'll make a change to the project and make a whole new build folder and its still an older version

i've tried clean build

[solemn cedar]

maybe it would be better received if you had even an ounce of patience in the beginners channel and explained things fully to obvious beginners

[slender nymph]

point to anything i didn't "explain fully", other than expecting you to use your eyes with the bot message

[solemn cedar]

maybe a beginner wouldn't fully understand the difference between an editor log and a player log

anyway im not having an argument here, goodnight

[slender nymph]

my guy, you literally started this

[solemn cedar]

your attitude was off-putting and hostile

[slender nymph]

your lack of effort in troubleshooting your issue was off-putting and hostile

[solemn cedar]

im a beginner in unity, in the beginners channel, am i not allowed to misunderstand things?

i have been stuck on this for the past 3 hours, believe me i have tried to put full effort into this

anyway fixed the problem, turns out it was the build settings causing the issue

[slim solar]

@solemn cedar Heya, I saw this a bit late, but a plugin like this could really help in that situation
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/integration/log-viewer-12047

Lets you view logs in builds so you can log a bunch of stuff to narrow down exactly what's happening, or even see errors

[solemn cedar]

oh thanks! sounds useful

[slim solar]

It really depends who's around lol. I find AI is surprisingly good at debugging errors and stuff most of the time

[solemn cedar]

any specific models you recommend?

gpt was just as lost as me 😭

[rich delta]

Is it recommended to use public sealed class for a good maintanable code, for the classes that are not ment to be inherited ?

I do not see sealed often in scripts, so just wondering for the best practices

[slim solar]

lol I use GPT, it's good at copy+paste random ass errors, but then again you need those errors. With that plugin you'd be able to see the errors better in game, describe how it was missing from the build, etc. I feel like you just didn't have enough info for it

[polar acorn]

Sealed is mostly important for things that get distributed as libraries. Game code isn't really used that way so it's not important. It's just something you'd do for organization mostly

[solemn cedar]

yeah i see

[slender nymph]

to add on to this, there is also a very minor performance benefit to it, but it's so minor that it will make practically 0 difference

[warm iris]

what is the current working function?

instead of ontriggerenter

[slender nymph]

!IDE 👇 make sure your IDE is configured properly so you can autocomplete methods so you spell them right

[warm iris]

nvm I mispelled it

[radiant void]

If your IDE is not autocompleting code or underlining errors, please configure it.

[warm iris]

yeah autocompleting does work

[slender nymph]

including for methods like OnTriggerEnter?

[warm iris]

yeah I think idk why it didnt work

I mean I either didnt use it

or I removed the i by accident

[teal viper]

Assigning it to a class field on start/awake and then just reusing that variable should fix it. The issue is that you're assigning a method which basically creates a new delegate.

[real thunder]

How exactly I meant to do that?

I read that but... honestly could not understand much
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20837187/allocation-free-delegate-or-other-way-to-call-method-by-address

  public class Foo
  {
      public void DoSomething() { /*nop*/ }
  
      private Action _doSomethingDelegate;
      public Action DoSomethingDelegate
      {
          get { return _doSomethingDelegate ?? (_doSomethingDelegate = DoSomething); }
      }
  }

hm

I think I starting to understand, you tell I can assign them on awake?

this piece of code makes it to cache a delegate a first time it gets called

I think

[slim solar]

Is this where I can ask about 2D collision issues & colliders?

[brisk flume]

can someone with some background help i am a college student were most of my calsses are in c++,
the only languages i really know are python and c++ so is transitioning into c# as a begginer in unity easy or ???

[teal viper]

Assign all the methods to their own delegate variables on awake. Then at runtime just assign that delegate variable to your doState or whatever it was called.

[real thunder]

are there even things which C# can do which C++ can't?

[lusty minnow]

Hi Im doing the unity sprite flight course and so far I've got obstacles the player and a scoreboard that works and I don't just copy paste the code like I can point at almost any piece of code and explain what it does. But I can't write it myself, I just won't remember what to do exactly. So im asking whats a better way to learn all this?? What am i doing wrong

[grand snow]

Microsoft have a short blogpost about this topic: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/understanding-the-cost-of-csharp-delegates/

[grand snow]

c# is a managed language so its not really fair to compare them in such a way
c# has reflection built in to the language but cpp does not

[teal viper]

It's not as hard as learning from scratch. There are many concepts that are similar. C# is considered a C-family language.

[teal viper]

If it's code related, perhaps.

[real thunder]

I have to say I just use

private delegate void DoState();
private DoState doState

And have no clue what Actions are

[grand snow]

Actions are a pre made delegate type

(with generic versions!)

[slim solar]

Hey if I have a collider2D on my player and another object, which one triggers OnTriggerEnter2D?

[real thunder]

that sounds like assigning a delegate to a delegate or something

like assigning float to a float

[teal viper]

It basically is.

[real thunder]

instead of a value

[slim solar]

do I need a rigidbody2d on one of them? and does the function only run on that one?

[real thunder]

I thought delegate is a type of a variable

[slender nymph]

OnTriggerEnter2D will be called on both objects involved, and yes a rigidbody is required on at least one of the two

[teal viper]

And it's actually what happens when you assign a method. The compiler just adds the overhead behind the scenes.

[teal viper]

A delegate is an object that contains info about a method. It is a type, yes.

[real thunder]

why are you even allowed to do that

[teal viper]

Wdym?

Why not?

[real thunder]

omitting a step

[teal viper]

You're not. It's just implicit. Just how you can assign an int to a float without explicitly casting it.

[slim solar]

I can't get it to call. Can you see if I'm doing something wrong?

[slender nymph]

https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages

[real thunder]

makes sense

[slim solar]

Yeah that link doesn't really say much

[slender nymph]

it takes you through everything you need to check. you just need to actually read it

[slim solar]

I read it

https://i.gyazo.com/13df876e9a5446f49b2ced70cc9c7eb2.png

[slender nymph]

apparently not

[slim solar]

Here's the player collider, I tried with trigger on/off, dynamic/kinematic

And the damage ring, 'ExpandingRing' script should run OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) but doesn't

Both are on default layer

[slender nymph]

okay and what did the link i sent say about a kinematic rigidbody and a static collider with regards to OnTriggerEnter2D?

[grand snow]

erm the collider marked as trigger gets the trigger message (the screenshots make me think you did the opposite)

[slender nymph]

both objects involved in the trigger overlap do

[slim solar]

IsTrigger is off on both

that was just in the img as i was trying diff stuff

[grand snow]

damn TIL

[slim solar]

And tried both on

[slender nymph]

if only there were some convenient Trigger matrix (2D) you could look at to see what settings work to cause a trigger message to be sent

[slim solar]

And opposites lol

Those links are always fully understandable to unity beginners

That's why discord exists, no?

[slender nymph]

if you won't bother putting in the effort to read the information in that link then i'm done helping.

it takes you through literally everything you need to check for this

[grand snow]

unity huh how exists because the same things get asked all the damn time 😆

[slim solar]

great less clutter in the chat, thanks

[real thunder]

I think I understand now
so delegate variable is just a class
and I have to have pre made classes-delegates for method I would like to use or I would recreate them each time I reassign the main delegate which getting called in Update()
am I getting it right?

[slender nymph]

if you can't be bothered to put in the effort to read information then why should anyone else be bothered to help you?

[grand snow]

we can define delegate types which define the "method signature" that this type can reference
Action and Action<T> are pre made delegate types in the .NET lib.

You dont have to make a delegate type but it can be better sometimes as then we can define names for arguments

[slim solar]

I'm trying my best to read that shit man, you're not very nice nor helpful

I'm using a trigger, I don't know what a kinematic trigger is

[slender nymph]

pretty much yeah, the same can really be said for any reference type. it's cheaper to cache it and reuse it than recreate it

[slender nymph]

have you tried reading all of the information on the page?

[slim solar]

I have a rigidbody with a collider trigger, and another collider trigger

You know how quickly the answer could have been given instead of this circle jerk waste of time

[real thunder]

for some reason I was assuming delegate was a value type

[slim solar]

Why does this discord even exist, just tell everyone to google their problems and read the docs lol

[slender nymph]

except there are about a dozen possibilities for what this issue could be caused by and it is much faster for you to check them yourself rather than require someone else to walk you through the steps that are already laid out for you

[slender nymph]

those should already be the first steps you take. it's literally in the rules for the server

[slim solar]

why are you even helping blackhunter with delegates, all that info is online, send him some links

[slender nymph]

why are you still here if you don't want the help that was provided

[slim solar]

it's just 2 gameobjects with a collider on each and a rigidbody on one. Can't see it being a super complex problem

both have trigger on, with a rigidbody

you can link me all over the internet, that page says it should work

it fits within the matrix

[slender nymph]

great! you made it through step two. have you considered going through the remaining steps

[teal viper]

It doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet, but how are you even confirming if it's called or not?

You should probably have shared your code at the very start to make things easier for all of us.

As well as the debugging method.

[slim solar]

Just a basic Debug.Log, Funnily enough, I think it's a problem with the HotReload plugin

If I hot-reload anything it magically starts working, but starting playmode it doesn't work, until I do some hotreload

[slim solar]

Yup, restarted unity literally fixed everything. Thanks for this, made me realize it's probably something else

[teal viper]

OK, so it had nothing to do with unity itself..?

[slim solar]

Funnily enough, asking a simple question did the trick, instead of repeatedly telling me to read the docs like im a child

[slim solar]

Yeah some weird caching issue with a plugin I guess, wasn't even using the latest compiled scripts lol

But yeah everything works as expected now haha, thanks!!

[teal viper]

Well, that's also on you to be honest. We can't really make assumptions about what plugins you have or don't have.

[slim solar]

It's 100% on me, but it's nice to know that everything should be working, instead of making me re-read the same beginner shit over and over like im an idiot

Sometimes all it takes is knowing that everything looks right, to figure out the problem is elsewhere

[teal viper]

"that beginner shit" is what's supposed to tell you it should be working. The alternative is for us to just copy paste the same stuff that's on that page and wait for your answer on each one. No one wants to do that. No one is paying us to help.

[tiny bloom]

any idea why this is happening? im adding a new button but it's not showing in editor or play mode

[slim solar]

Hey im just talking about 1 guy who consistently gives people a hard time in here, nothing about you or anyone else man. 😛

[slim solar]

The button needs an image on it too, could you post the components? You could also make a gameobject and add a button/image to it manually

[teal viper]

Nah, boxfriend is pretty chill. I'm often even stricter than that.

[slim solar]

I guess we all have our good and bad days 🤷‍♂️

[edgy sinew]

boxfriend

[frosty yarrow]

public void OnShoot(InputAction.CallbackContext val)
{
if (val.performed)
{
Debug.Log("idk");
}
}

The could should print idk when i hold the shoot and stops when i stop holding

[ivory bobcat]

What does it do instead?

[frosty yarrow]

it does only when i click when i hold nothing happend

[slender nymph]

that's because that's not how input actions work. that OnShoot method is only called when the state of the input changes in some way (depending on how you set these up to be called). you're also checking if the input is in the performed state, so you only get one log
if you want something to continuously happen while holding the button, then you need to subscribe to the started and canceled events, flip a bool depending on which state the input is in when the method is called, then use that bool in Update or something that is called repeatedly

[ivory bobcat]

Looks like it's working as expected
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.0/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.InputAction.CallbackContext.html

[golden notch]

GameObject instance = Instantiate(item.GroundPrefab, renderModel.transform);
regarding this, is this the same thing as dragging a prefab onto the renderModel? If so, why is it going way outside of where it's supposed to be?

[slender nymph]

take a look at the prefab, what is the prefab's transform position

[golden notch]

it's different every time

[slender nymph]

i said the prefab

[golden notch]

how do I check that?

[slender nymph]

by looking with your eyes?

[golden notch]

you mean this area?

[slender nymph]

great, so it is at 0,0,0. now what is the position of the object you are spawning it as a child of, this would be the object assigned to your renderModel variable

[slender nymph]

before continuing further, does that object move at all or does it remain in that exact position at all times?

more specifically, is it possible that this object is being moved before the child object is instantiated?

[golden notch]

no?

so it seems to be the same area

until i move

[slender nymph]

something else is changing the object's position then

wait, is this not happening at runtime?

[golden notch]

nope

in editor

most recent version too

[slender nymph]

and when you cause this code to run, does it perhaps spawn close to the middle of where your scene camera is looking?

[golden notch]

little under middle

[zealous talon]

hello guys, im trying to build my game on my mac m1 and im trying to download the windows standalone support, but the installer always fails in the end. does anyone know why?

[golden notch]

it seems to always spawn just above 0

[slender nymph]

yeah so this is because of a setting in the editor for spawning things into the scene, there's a setting that determines whether a prefab instance will be spawned at the world origin or where the camera is looking. and because you aren't specifying a position and this is happening in edit mode, it's probably taking that setting into account

[slender nymph]

!install 👇 also not a code question. and you should translate errors that aren't in english

[radiant void]

When Unity fails to install checklist

• Make sure you have enough space including on C: drive.
• Check that it's not being blocked by antivirus/security programs.
• Look through the logs for a real reason why the setup fails they are pinned [here](#💻┃unity-talk message).

If you still have issues, perform a clean install in another location:

• Install the Hub and Unity in a non-system drive or a clean new folder in the root of C: drive.
• Failing that use the recovery Refresh option or reinstall OS entirely then repeat the previous step.

[golden notch]

well i can't see it regularly either (during runtime)

[slender nymph]

am i supposed to know what you mean by that

[zealous talon]

where should i ask?

[golden notch]

ok so it is spawning where it is supposed to, i just need to rotate it.

[slender nymph]

#🔎┃find-a-channel
but the answer is in the bot embed

[golden notch]

but it's not showing up in the render texture

[zealous talon]

yeah its not unity but the windows support package for build on m1

but thanks anyway

[slender nymph]

and yet the troubleshooting steps are the same

just because it is a module doesn't suddenly invalidate the steps that were provided. there's nothing special about modules that make troubleshooting installing them any different from troubleshooting the editor install

[zealous talon]

if you say so

[golden notch]

ayy i set the render layer and it's working, but it seems too high now.

[golden notch]

I deleted the instantiation after i used it, why is it still showing in the second iteration?

wait why is there 3 in the second pic?

i give up... idk why it's showing THREE axes

[ashen harness]

Anyone personally try any good Tower defense tutorials that were actually solid? I have no clue where to get started on the code for one 🤣 (also no idea if i shoulda asked here or in unity talk but yeah)

[golden notch]

it's not destroying the last element before it resumes

(Fixed by adding a instance.active = false;)

and sometimes this happens too

ok so now there's only one like it should be, still sometimes red though

and even though the position of the two axes are the same, they are somehow different

[cosmic dagger]

Too many. Pick one and have at it. If you don’t like it, move to the next tutorial. I've always watched multiple videos on the same topic to gain different perspectives . . .

Could I get some help on some code I'm tryna do from a tutorial that isn't working for me

So basically I'm following this tutorial

to stop infinite jumping in my game, and I'm following it as close as possible, but I keep getting all of these errors that the person in the video isn't getting. as far as I can see I've done it exactly the way they've typed it, but there's still issues. the main one being "the name '_capsulecollider' does not exist in current context" and the only way I can seem to get rid of it is by removing the underscore, but I'm worried it will mess it up.

Ok well I fixed the underscore thing but there's still quite a few other issues

[naive pawn]

lerp is not framedependant
wronglerp is

"harmful" is a very vague question

imo, you shouldn't use wronglerp for anything

[verbal swift]

harmful as in will it have any noticeable problems other than being ever so slightly timing differences on different frames

[verbal swift]

could you send the wronglerp again?

whats the command

nvm got it

[naive pawn]

not sure what you're saying, note that it's framerate dependant

[naive pawn]

0.1if is invalid

also the awake message needs to be Awake

have you done unity essentials and/or gone through a c# guide before?

[verbal swift]

doesnt matter the graph is helpful enough

for smoothing camera movement its close enough

[faint bough]

No but I don't have time for that rn I'm kinda in a rush

I'll do it eventually though

[naive pawn]

if you have inconsistent framerate then wronglerp would jitter around

[faint bough]

How do I make it valid

[naive pawn]

doesn't matter
i feel like you're just being ignorant at this point ngl

[faint bough]

The person in the video typed it the same way and there's no problem with it

[naive pawn]

they did not.

you're following a video?

[faint bough]

Yeah

[naive pawn]

go check it more thoroughly

[faint bough]

Idk man I'm probably wrong but it looks pretty much the same to me

[naive pawn]

look closer

[faint bough]

That's a screenshot from the video

[naive pawn]

and i'm seeing the difference there already

"pretty much the same" is generally not sufficient

[faint bough]

I'm blind as hell man you could put a big red circle around it with flashing lights and I'd still probably miss it

[naive pawn]

their code

[faint bough]

Oh man

[naive pawn]

your code

[faint bough]

It appears I'm not very bright

That literally solved the entire thing thanks 🙏🙏🙏

[naive pawn]

well that solves the syntax issue, but not the other compile error

you haven't fixed the underscore thing

[faint bough]

I solved those a bit ago I just used an old screenshot by accident

[naive pawn]

also note that learning first will generally be faster than stumbling around not knowing what you're doing

if you want to actually make anything yourself that is

[faint bough]

You got a point but I'm doing this for an assignment due tomorrow for my uni game design class, I've only been in it a short while and I'm low-key kinda lazy so I haven't been paying attention very much

Also they haven't really been teaching us how to use unity they kinda just give us their own video tutorials to follow

[naive pawn]

ah yes, making a game with a month long deadline on the last day, very common occurance here

(joke, in case it doesn't come across that way)

[faint bough]

Nah bro you're right on the money 😭

[real thunder]

preparing for facing those deadlines

anyway I am curious why can't I assign a delegate before runtime

[sour fulcrum]

Objects in editor and objects in build are two completely seperate instances

You can assign a delegate before runtime, it just wouldn’t be on the same object

Hence why we serialize and deserialize stuff

[eternal needle]

what are you trying to do? a delegate by default isn't serialized, a unityevent is and can be assigned before runtime in inspector

[faint bough]

Just downloaded cinemachine, and there's no "Player/look" option in select input action, anyone know why???

[naive pawn]

perhaps because you haven't made it?

[real thunder]

being curious

[naive pawn]

also please don't use images of screens, they're terrible to look at

https://screenshot.help

[real thunder]

it seems like I have to assign my states to delegates at Awake which is less convinient than if I could just do that while declaring variables

[faint bough]

I'm following a tutorial again and the guy didn't say anything about making it he said to just pick it from the list

[naive pawn]

unity doesn't serialize delegates other than UnityEvent. if you want to assign callbacks in the inspector, you can use those

[real thunder]

I don't really want to serialize them

that's like different thing right?

[sour fulcrum]

You do want to serialise them

[real thunder]

I can still assign private non serialzied variables in the script?

[naive pawn]

i honestly don't know what you're trying to do here

[faint bough]

https://youtube.com/shorts/2KMUtzQ5MrA?si=fBbqvnMOwt4RHPV4

[naive pawn]

iirc by default you get an inputactionsasset with quite a few actions, he's probably using that

[sour fulcrum]

The amount of misinformation [SerializeField] has done to people

[eternal needle]

you'd have to show what your setup looks like if you want help with the specific problem. What do you consider "not assigning at runtime" if you don't want to serialize it. It has to be assigned at a certain point

[sour fulcrum]

Serializing saves stuff to file, basically. The inspector shows you things that are serialized. Keep in mind these are two seperate things

I’d suggest opening a prefab file in a text editor in order to get an idea of what unity serializes

[real thunder]

this is not really a problem-problem but
I would expect something like

private Action ChasingMovingAction = new Action(ChasingMovingLoop);

to work instead of

private Action ChasingMovingAction
void Awake()
    {
        ChasingMovingAction = new Action(ChasingMovingLoop);
    }

[naive pawn]

the inspector shows you want it wants to show
if in normal mode:

• if custom inspector, show custom inspector
• otherwise, show serialized, non-hidden fields
  if in debug mode:
• show non-hidden fields with serializable types

[faint bough]

He has a big list of them in the video and most of them are there for me but that one isnt

[eternal needle]

either way you're assigning this at runtime, the inline variable doesn't magically do it before runtime

it just happens with the constructor if it was valid

[naive pawn]

yes, those are from the default asset. you could open a new project and copy the asset over, or you could make your own actions

and please stop sending pictures of screens

[real thunder]

but it doesn't show me private variables? or private pre assigned variables are technically serialized?

[naive pawn]

no

[faint bough]

How would I go about doing either of those

[naive pawn]

if a field has a serializable type, and it is public and/or marked SerializeField, then it's serialized

[real thunder]

like if that was an array?

[naive pawn]

like if that was anything else

the type doesn't matter

[naive pawn]

you don't know how to create a project and copy a file?

i mean, one of those is clearly not true

[faint bough]

Yea but where exactly am I copying this file from I dong have it

[naive pawn]

just somewhere in your project

under .../Assets

[real thunder]

then I don't want to serialize and @sour fulcrum was incorrect?

[naive pawn]

i have no idea what you actually want

https://xyproblem.info

what are you trying to achieve here?

[sour fulcrum]

this

[naive pawn]

it's such a loaded question

you can't do anything before runtime, because runtime is where things happen
but technically you're already in a runtime in edit mode already

[real thunder]

but like you can assign a private float and it's not a serialziation

[naive pawn]

you can't

it's not saved to the file

the assignment happens at runtime

[eternal needle]

Consider what you're trying to access here, the error you get on the first line here tells you that you're trying to access something you shouldnt

[naive pawn]

oh my god holy x/y problem

[sour fulcrum]

the float is a value, the delegate and the function your wanting to add to it are references to objects

[naive pawn]

you're getting an error here aren't you

this wouldve been so much simpler if you just said so

[real thunder]

what's the right term for defining a variable with a set variable then?

[eternal needle]

well its clearly an error because it isnt valid c#, they were using that as an example for something they cant do

[naive pawn]

just use () => ChasingMovingLoop() goddamn

[eternal needle]

that doesnt work either

[real thunder]

well yes the error is that

[naive pawn]

sorry, (ThisType x) => x.ChasingMovingLoop()

[sour fulcrum]

you can't because of what this says

[naive pawn]

this explains fully why you can't do it

it's nothing to do with the action

this is crucial info

stop making us guess

[faint bough]

Idk what to tell you man I've looked around and I can't find it

[real thunder]

sorry, I just had an assumption people here have a solid grasp on such things

[naive pawn]

we are not compilers, we are not psychic, we are not looking over your shoulder

[sour fulcrum]

more specifics just help reduce the questions needed

[naive pawn]

it's your responsibility to provide adequate info

https://xyproblem.info/ go give this a read.

[naive pawn]

no, copy it from the new project into your current project

[eternal needle]

that expects something to call ChasingMovingAction passing the instance of the object everytime. i really dont think thats what they want

i dont see where the confusion lies, they were just asking why that line isnt possible while it has to be done in awake

[faint bough]

What so if I make a new project it'll just be there

[naive pawn]

fair, that's the pattern i use with a static field. obviously i don't have context so i can't make an accurate recommendation based off of guessing

[real thunder]

you are right but people omit things they consider obvious all of the time, if not that chatting would be impossible, and here I made a mistake thinking you would already knew about this error

[naive pawn]

"i have an issue" <doesn't say what the issue is>

so many errors are possible

you have to say which one it is

[real thunder]

it wasn't even an issue, I thought I can't do the thing because of some language quirk and asked why I can't

[naive pawn]

and the error explains

if you said you had an error that you didn't understand, it'd be so much easier to explain the specific part you didn't understand instead of guessing what you're actually taking issue with

[naive pawn]

probably, i don't remember tbh. you could also make a new action, presumably you've already done that for the 2 actions you already have

[eternal needle]

consider a separate example, where u replace this whole delegate with trying to modify or access a different variable.

                    
public class Program
{
    public int a = 5;
    public int b = a + 1;
}

this is the same error and is essentially what you're trying to do

it's less of a quirk when you see it this way, the delegate part might've confused you more here

[real thunder]

oh that makes so much sense

[eternal needle]

usually if im getting confused with syntax around delegates, I just mentally replace it with a separate type to understand it easier

i got more used to it over time but there is the occasion where i'm not thinking straight

[real thunder]

now I am thinking why would that work with statics

[eternal needle]

a static variable isn't associated with the instance, while a and b are both on the same instance currently

[real thunder]

heap vs stack?

[naive pawn]

no

[north kiln]

Entirely unrelated

[teal viper]

Has to do with guaranteed order of initialization. Static fields would always init before instance fields and instances in general(the instance need to be initialized before any methods are called on it).

I think.

[toxic cloak]

can i use this functions of a button like onpointerdown onpointerup etc? if so how i want to check if pointer down than do this.

[naive pawn]

those methods are for the button to receive from the event system to notify of UI events
if you want to detect when a button is clicked, use that onClick event

[tiny island]

hi , i Instantiated my enemy because when i tried to destroy it unity said it was destroying the assets and couldn't do that but now the death script technically works without that issue but the Enemy object scene isn't getting destroyed (switched the gameobject for a var)

[toxic cloak]

thanks, so that means i cant use those onpointer up and down from that button

[naive pawn]

why are you creating and immediately destroying an enemy

what are you trying to do?

[tiny island]

i'm trying to destroy the Enemy via collision , the collision does work but told me i was trying to delete the prefab in assets so now i'm trying to Instatiate the Enemy as apparently from a unity Q&A Page it would fix the issue

i think i see the problem tho now that you mention the creating and detroying part

[naive pawn]

is the enemy the current gameobject?

[tiny island]

yes

[naive pawn]

and you want the current gameobject to be destroyed?

[tiny island]

yes but it seems i need first to instantiate it or it will go for the prefadb asset instead

[naive pawn]

you already instantiated it

it isn't "going for the prefab asset instead", it tries to delete what you tell it to delete

if you want the current gameobject to be destroyed, then tell it to delete the current gameobject

Destroy(gameObject)

why do you even have that SelfRef? 🤨

[tiny island]

it does that when i'm trying to destroy the gameObject

[midnight plover]

You are not destroying a gameobject, you are trying to destroy the prefab assigned which is an actual file on your filesystem

[naive pawn]

[tiny island]

https://paste.mod.gg/jrupiqligata/0

[naive pawn]

you can't destroy a class

gameObject and GameObject are not the same thing

[tiny island]

oh mb ,tho that doesn't seem to change anything for the all destroying assets thing

[naive pawn]

show the full script of the class

wait no, this is coming from a public method?

sounds like you're calling Damage on the prefab instead of on the actual enemy in the scene

[tiny island]

yes?

[naive pawn]

look through the stacktrace, for the line the Damage method. where are you calling it from? check to see if you're referencing the prefab there for whatever reason

[tiny island]

i'm using a Instintiated projectile with a collider for the damage

[naive pawn]

ok, and what's Enemy

(also you should not be checking layers like that - it's not wrong, but it's easy to make subtle and hard-to-debug mistakes)

[tiny island]

oh...yeah Enemy uses the Enemy prefab , i see now

[naive pawn]

instead of damaging the random Enemy, damage the thing you hit

also do you not want the projectile to be destroyed when it hits an enemy?

[tiny island]

yeah i should probably destroy the projectile on collision aswell.
tho do you recommend just using the other variable then?
cause i don't tknow how to call the damage function if that's the optimal solution

[naive pawn]

yes, use TryGetComponent or GetComponent

no need to check the layer - just, if it has the Enemy component, call its Damage method

assuming layer 6 is a wall or something, you could just have the projectile destroyed unconditionally (and just not have it collide with any other layers)

if you do need to check layers, you should use a layermask instead, that way you can set it in the inspector and it's harder to mess up

also of note, the damage there, 2, should be a serialized field, so you can configure it in the inspector easily

[tiny island]

@naive pawn just tried it , works now many thanks as for the other suggestion i'll keep them in mind tho first i'll try implement everything i need to first but thanks again

[gentle trellis]

how do I create physics capsulecast the same size as capsule collider

[naive pawn]

pass the same parameters used for the capsule collider

if you're in 2d, you can also cast the collider directly, but 3d doesn't have an analog of that it seems

[gentle trellis]

I see, thanks

[thick root]

Hey quick question, does unity have events like I make a event that I can call from script A and calls a function of a bunch of scripts without the main script having reference of the listening scripts? Like event game over and all enemies listen to that and die on game over

[midnight plover]

you are talking about static events / delegates. you can just have a public or static event that you invoke from your mainscript and the subscribes just need to += their methods to it

[thick root]

Ahh nice thx, I'll look into it and try to use it 👌

[fast fern]

I use visual studio and I don't know how to set mouse click back to normal, I don't want it to select letters

[naive pawn]

looks like your keyboard is in replace mode (given that it's a line when you put the cursor at the end of the line)

press the insert key

[fast fern]

oh thank you so much, that thing was real annoying

[smoky raven]

I need help with my dash script that i probably butchered cuz i didn't know the input thingy was updated and i just copied a movement script for basic movement which made this mess with me trying to copy it. Also i found out the problem was player input was missing. i honestly think i need to redo 6 hours of scripting if i don't manage fix this, since it's probably caused by me copying the input manager and not changing it when i made this dash thing

[naive pawn]

what's the issue here?

[smoky raven]

Player input doesn't work when i playtest

I honestly don't know what's happening

[naive pawn]

how doesn't it work? does it give errors, does it do something weird, does it not respond?

you aren't even using _dash or _playerInput in this code, how is it set up

[smoky raven]

it doesn't respond and like only gives the error when i play it

[naive pawn]

ok, what's the error

[smoky raven]

Hold on

[naive pawn]

also that AddForce is not correct

[smoky raven]

it's only this and i don't understand it at all 😭

[smoky raven]

def butchered it fr

[naive pawn]

that can only be _playerinput, so the issue is that the object doesn't have a PlayerInput component.

the Dash.cs:24 means it's line 24 of Dash.cs

the first part of the line says it's in Awake

[ivory bobcat]

You've accidentally cut off the line numbers

[naive pawn]

generally you would look at the specific line, but there's only one thing that can be null and is being accessed inside Awake there, so it's that

oh actually... i guess it could also be _playerinput.actions

forgot to consider that, mb

so, do some debugging to see which one that is

[smoky raven]

I don't understand what that means 😭

[naive pawn]

do you know what line numbers are

[ivory bobcat]

That wasn't a solution to your problem but rather a remark about the image you had shown

[smoky raven]

this thing?

[naive pawn]

no, that says what line/char your cursor is on (and what your indent is set to i think? and what your line endings are set to)

[smoky raven]

I'm more confused now tbh

[naive pawn]

that was a question, yes or no

[ivory bobcat]

You've probably got this script on an object that doesn't have a player input component

[smoky raven]

Probably no

[smoky raven]

Oh yeah i just noticed that

[naive pawn]

in your ide, to the left of your code there's a region called a gutter, and on the other side of the gutter, there are numbers that count up for each line in the file

those are the line numbers

(this is a document/file concept rather than a code concept, but code uses this concept a lot)

[smoky raven]

Wait the numbers that are usually here?

tbh idek how it vanished

I havent used this for like 3 years now

[naive pawn]

settings > search "line numbers"

or maybe you could right click the gutter or change that from menu bar > view, idk, i haven't used vs

[smoky raven]

I found it and brought it back

and also i added the player input component where the dash script was and it just made my movement speed fast without me pressing anything except wasd...

should i rewrite this?

[naive pawn]

that's what your code said to do

[smoky raven]

Dang i really need to learn more ig

[naive pawn]

you should probably step away from code for a bit - figure out what exactly is the flow you want for this behavior, start from an english description, and be as specific as you can without getting into implementation details (it'll make it easier later)
from that description, write out pseudocode
from that pseudocode, implement it into actual code

with experience you can do those first 2 steps in your head - planning the behavior, planning the logic
but since you don't have that yet, writing it out separately can help a lot

i still do that quite a bit when working with stuff i'm not familiar with, or with complicated algorithms (not in games)

[smoky raven]

I'm kinda forced to learn this in a like... less than a week at best... but i'll try doing that when i can

[naive pawn]

good planning will save you headaches later

[solar hill]

Why the rush?

You learn the best when you take your time

[smoky raven]

Cuz of my stupidity and writing it in a homework where i didn't read the part "this will be your product and is worth half of your grades"

[solar hill]

Ah so last minute deadline for a project?

Makes sense we get about 12 of those a week here

[smoky raven]

Nah they just really made it so it’s less than a week 😭

[solar hill]

But a weeks time is pretty good compared to what some others are starting with here

[smoky raven]

This was announced yesterday

[solar hill]

A lot of people start the day before the deadline and get mad when nobody will finish it for them lol

[smoky raven]

I honestly thought i could finish atleast a prototype of what i put in that paper in like 3 days but at this point i would be even lucky to fix that dash script in a day 😭

[mystic hemlock]

why does unity always opens this when I end the run of the game? it is annoying to edit assets this way

[solar hill]

Oh yeah 3 days for a prototype is very ambitious if you just started

[smoky raven]

Yeah 😔 but atleast i have more time than that tbh, if i didn't I'd probably beg to change what i wrote there for something simpler

[solar hill]

If i were you i would grab some direct game course/tutorial that creates some kind of semi completed project

And just grind that out for a day

If passing is the only thing you care about

[smoky raven]

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to do that tomorrow

[smoky raven]

Mostly but not really

[smoky raven]

I've been eyeing game dev for like more than half my life and this was kinda a rare opportunity to force myself to learn it due to my lack of time

I'll probably comeback here soon

Thanks yall

[faint tulip]

whats the difference between 2D built in render pipeline and 2D SRP?

just curious

[chilly anvil]

I cant connect the out to the position. why is this

[balmy vortex]

hi is there any chance for inputAction.WasPressedThisFrame() to just not execute properly if say the user lags out really bad or smth?

or like are there any downsides to using it?

[sour fulcrum]

i mean i assume it does what it says

[wintry quarry]

what nodes do you have off to the left?

possibly you're using some fragment-only nodes

[chilly anvil]

its connected to a sample textutre 2d

[wintry quarry]

That's only for the fragment stage

As it says in the docs: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@5.6/manual/Sample-Texture-2D-Node.html

If you want to sample a texture in the vertex stage you need to use https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.shadergraph@5.6/manual/Sample-Texture-2D-LOD-Node.html @chilly anvil

[chilly anvil]

thanks

[true pasture]

Would anyone know why when I put the sticks on navigate it just constantly scrolls through the options. like stick drift but I cranked up the deadzones on both and it had no effect

[wintry quarry]

Do you have a controller plugged in?

unplug all controllers and see if it still happens

and use the input debugger

most likely a stray device you forgot about leaning against a cat

[true pasture]

ok thanks Ill double check that

Okay yeah that helped I see the problem on thing is I don't see the controller in bluetooth. It says there a controller there even after I disconnected them all..

oh you can jsut remove the device I guess. I bet it was steam..

[slate badge]

hey guys so im currently making a skillcheck lk those things from dbd, how do you on start make an object spawn outside the surface of a circle?

heres a visual:

[solar hill]

so the object is the entire bar? if so its just a matter of setting some kind of pivot on the bar and spawning it in the middle of the circle, and just rotating it

[slate badge]

the problem is that how do i make the rotation based on the circle rather than the bar's own rotation?

[solar hill]

you set the bars pivot to the center of the circle, like i said

the dot is the pivot of the bar

now when you rotate the dot the bar rotates around the circle

[golden notch]

these two axes are at the same position in their transform, but not exactly the same. I thik it's because they were offset in blender, is there a way I can fix this in editor or will i have to mess around in blender again?

[solar hill]

means the root position is off somehow

did you apply transforms in blender before exporting?

[golden notch]

i don't think so? how would I check?

they both say 0,0,0 as their position

[slate badge]

i see, so do i make the bar a child to the circle or do i have to code to do it?

[solar hill]

no.

you add an empty which is the parent of the bar

the parent acts like the pivot

[solar hill]

you didnt since your scale isnt 1,1,1

[slate badge]

got it

[solar hill]

make it a habit to always apply all transforms before exporting

[golden notch]

they are still offset

[solar hill]

they are not offset in blender correct?

they are in the same location

[golden notch]

no

[solar hill]

so they are offset in blender?

[mystic lantern]

can I prom my asset?

[solar hill]

prom?

[golden notch]

yes but their transforms are zero

[solar hill]

yes but their origins are at the world origin....

[golden notch]

should i origin to geometry then?

[solar hill]

try that after applying the scale yes

[mystic lantern]

I publish my first asset for unity in itch.io . Easy interactions is easy system for creating interactions

[solar hill]

oh youre asking if you can promote your asset?

only in #1080140002849214464 iirc

[mystic lantern]

thank you

[red igloo]

I am trying to rotate the player with the camera did I do it right? when I move my mouse the camera spins really fast. Is it because the tracking target is in the player it rotates the player and it repeats? How can I fix it

[frail hawk]

i think microsoft should really rename these 2 products

or one of them to say it

[slender nymph]

with the way they're going they'll probably rename vs code to "Copilot Code" or something stupid like that

[sour fulcrum]

Codepilot 😔

[shell kelp]

[frail hawk]

that sounds not bad actually

[heavy ibex]

hey i wanted to know how to encrypt asset do that they dont got ripped/extracted

[frail hawk]

not easy, not recomended

[heavy ibex]

owh why

[polar acorn]

Because it's a battle you won't win

[keen dew]

because it's massive amount of work that ends up being at most a minor inconvenience to someone who wants to rip the assets

[slender nymph]

and, no offense, but nine times out of ten someone asking about that hasn't actually made anything that would be worth taking

[frail hawk]

must be some really worthy asset you have here

[shell kelp]

is there a way to keep these projects loaded? icba to keep loading them everytime

[frail hawk]

what does that have to do with the previous message

[swift crag]

and Visual Studio to Copilot 365 Code

(Formerly 365 Code Copilot)

[faint osprey]

public enum timeSignature { 4/4, 3/4, 7/8}
is there a way to set my enum variables like this as it doesnt like the '/'

[sour fulcrum]

no

[faint osprey]

sadge

[polar acorn]

Pretty sure it won't like the numbers either

at least not starting with one

[shell kelp]

mb

[slim solar]

They're variable names, so they need to follow the same variable formats (letter first, $, _, etc)
BUT you can set their display names in inspector:

[InspectorName("4/4")] _44, 
[InspectorName("3/4")] _34, 
[InspectorName("7/8") _78
}

[swift crag]

yeah, you can't even get away with using a verbanim identifier here

e.g. @int lets you use "int" as a name

/ is simply not legal in an identifier

[obtuse carbon]

Hello! Can anyone help me please? I am trying to make infinitive world generation with premade tiles. The idea: You start off on the starting tile. Each time when you come closer to the tiles edge, a new tile spawns ahead of you if it's not already there. I have two scripts, "WorldManager" that is attached to the empty gameObject "World"(Parent of generated tiles). Each tile has a script "WorldTile" which contains the main logic and parameters. Here's a problem. i don't know how to explain it correctly, so i created am image. On the left side we can see 3 tiles and two arrows. Green arrow points to the direction where player is going. On the right side we see what happened after the player moved to the edge of the top tile. We can see that 3 additional tiles were spawned instead of 1. If the players moves up to the top tile there will be 2 tiles generated instead of 1 because there are 2 tiles in that row. This is wrong! To simplify this we can imagine our world of tiles as a rectangle with 2 variables(x and y). If the player moves to the x side, there will be generated the amount of tiles that equal to the amount of tiles on the x side. The same thing for the y side. This is wrong. We need to only generate one tile ahead of the player when he moves to the edge.

[wintry quarry]

this thing you're trying to make is a pretty standard "world streaming" setup

[delicate sleet]

Hi, Im new to Unity and to the server, hi to all of you!

I have a question tho, can I update a Cursor sprite in an update function? Its not changing even when I put a debug.log and I see its entering but not changing my cursor.

Heres my example of me changing the cursor:
Cursor.SetCursor(idleCursor, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);

[obtuse carbon]

What does it mean and what's the problem?

[wintry quarry]

Having each tile keep track of which adjacent tiles is not the best way to do it.

The best approach is:

• keep track of which tiles are currently loaded in a HashSet
• periodically (maybe even once a frame), calculate which tiles are within a set distance (e.g. the "draw distance") of the player. For example if you have adraw distance of 1 you draw the tile the player is ON and the 8 tiles surrounding it.
• Once you have calculated which tiles are "in", compare that with your current collection of loaded tiles.
• Any tile which is in the currently loaded set and is "in", should not change
• Any tile which is in the currently loaded set and is NOT "in", should be destroyed/despawned
• Any tile which is NOT in the currently loaded set, and is "in", should be spawned in

[delicate sleet]

Does anyone know?

[wintry quarry]

Yes there is no problem setting the cursor in Update

in your case the possible issues are:

• YOu might have some other code changing the cursor back to something else
• You might have the wrong texture being referenced by idleCursor

[delicate sleet]

And if im not seeing it change in the play simulation what could be wrong?
For example, the pressed function:

public void SetPressed()
{
Debug.Log("PRESSED");
Cursor.SetCursor(pressedCursor, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);
}

It does the log. and it doesn't do the idle until I stop pressing. And the textures are these:

[wintry quarry]

I explained the possibilities above

It's not really clear when "SetPressed" is being called though. Sharing your full script would be helpful

[delicate sleet]

Yeah, here it is:

using System;
using UnityEngine;

public class CursorManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Texture2D idleCursor;
    public Texture2D hoverCursor;
    public Texture2D pressedCursor;

    public static CursorManager Instance;

    bool isHoveringUI;

    void Awake()
    {
        Instance = this;
        SetIdle();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            SetPressed();
        }

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
        {
            if (isHoveringUI)
            {
                SetHover();
            }
            else
            {
                SetIdle();
            }
        }
    }

    public void SetHover()
    {
        Debug.Log("HOVER");
        isHoveringUI = true;
        Cursor.SetCursor(hoverCursor, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);
    }

    public void SetIdle()
    {
        Debug.Log("IDLE");
        isHoveringUI = false;
        Cursor.SetCursor(idleCursor, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);
    }

    public void SetPressed()
    {
        Debug.Log("PRESSED");
        Cursor.SetCursor(pressedCursor, Vector2.zero, CursorMode.Auto);
    }
}```

sorry Praetor :)

[obtuse carbon]

Are there any tutorials for it? Cuz i haven't found any for my case

[wintry quarry]

so which part exactly is not working?

Is none of it working? Or just one of the cursor textures? Or what

[wintry quarry]

I'm sure there are but the basic principles will be something like what I wrote

[delicate sleet]

The cursor is not changing to the other sprites, but its sending the Log, thats whats wrong

[sour fulcrum]

are the textures correctly referenced

[wintry quarry]

show the inspector of the script in the scene

[delicate sleet]

I dragged and dropped

[wintry quarry]

Also make sure you don't have more than one copy of it in the scene

and make sure you don't have any others that also change the cursor

[delicate sleet]

checked, any of that its happening

Its a fresh installed Unity, maybe its not showing bec I have to configure something?

[sour fulcrum]

shouldn't be

[delicate sleet]

Because the default cursor (the Idle one) it is showing

[sour fulcrum]

are those textures the right ones?

first two look the same

could just be the screenshot

[delicate sleet]

yeah they are, they are very similar, see:

I didnt know how to do the hover on the hand, so I did that little change haha

[wintry quarry]

can you show a screenshot of your console window (uncropped) after doing a full click-hold-release cycle?

[delicate sleet]

And when I click it is showing the logs:

(It is showing them by 2x btw, maybe its that?

[wintry quarry]

yeah that indicates strongly like I was implying befoire - you have a second copy of the script in the scene

probably the second copy only has the idle texture assigned in the inspector for all the fields

[delicate sleet]

hahaha, thanks a lot @wintry quarry and @sour fulcrum it was that...

haha it is always the silly ones...

thanks a looot :)

[swift crag]

classic error!

[unkempt crest]

i somehow cant click on "PlayerLockOn". I remember deleting it but its still there now unable to be klicked on. could someone help?

[polar acorn]

Did you try restarting Unity after deleting it

[unkempt crest]

i found it in the files and proceeded to delete it there, now it works 👍 (wanted to delete it all along)

but something else, is it 'normal' for unity to swallow such enormous amout of RAM? I think with visual studio its combined to 3.900 mb

[hexed terrace]

Depends what you're doing ... I wouldn't say 4GB is a lot for a project and VS

[sour fulcrum]

overall that would not be considered a lot

[unkempt crest]

okay all right

Hi all, I've started the Create with Code course for Unity but I think something might be off? The tutorial video has some differences than mine when I open scripts in Visual Studio including where the tutorial tab says "Assembly-CSharp" mine says "Miscellaneous Files" and some are lines are different. Is this an issue?

Thank you! Found the solution!

[fallow sparrow]

Had to update after I added the package, thank you!

[swift crag]

one catch-22 is that the package won't start working until Unity can compile your scripts..but it can be hard to fix your errors until the package is working 😉

[grand snow]

unity moment

[golden notch]

The debug messsages occur but only for one item, and nothing is added to the handbookContainer. No error messages, it just silently fails.

handbookContainer is a Transform, not sure if this is my problem or not

[grand snow]

lets presume item is null then. Attach a debugger so you can observe what actually happens when this loop executes.
If there was an exception it would be logged unless you caught them above and choose to do nothing with them.

[golden notch]

hold on

i think i figured it out, handbookcontiner is null

forgot to set it in inspector

it's partly working now, now i have to figure out why it only runs once

[grand snow]

debugger

[golden notch]

how do i do that?

[grand snow]

visual studio, vs code and rider all have usable debuggers with unity
learn more: https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/managed-code-debugging.html

the basics are attach to the editor in your IDE, add breakpoints, play and wait for them to be hit
Then you can step through code line by line to see what it does (and inspect variables)

[upper pebble]

What am I doing wrong here?

void OnTriggerEnter(CircleCollider2D other){

        if (other.tag == "Player"){
            Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("Player"));
        }

    }

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

    OnTriggerEnter();

}

}

[polar acorn]

1. Wrong parameter for OnTriggerEnter
2. Calling OnTriggerEnter manually in update
3. Not even passing a parameter to it when you try

[upper pebble]

It just gives me an error that says there is no argument given that corresponds to the rquired formal paramter 'other' of 'PlayerObstacle.OnTriggerEnter(CircleCollider2D)'

[upper pebble]

How would I fix it?

[polar acorn]

Use the function the way it's supposed to be used:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

[upper pebble]

Cool that's exactly what I tried doing but it gave me a different error

[sour fulcrum]

That is not true

Compare that and yours

[polar acorn]

So then fix that one

And ask about that error instead of asking about the attempted solution you hacked together to try to fix the initial one

[upper pebble]

Alright I changed a bit and it's not giving any errors but nothing is happening when the player collides with the object

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other){

    if (other.tag == "Player"){
        Destroy(GameObject.FindWithTag("Player"));
    }

}

[teal viper]

You don't need to do find. In fact, you shouldn't. It might destroy something else if there are multiple objects with that tag. Instead you can destroy other.gameobject.

[upper pebble]

Ye that makes sense, thanks for the tip!

[polar acorn]

The Three Commandments of OnTriggerEnter:

1. Thou Shalt have a 3D Collider on each object
2. Thou Shalt tick isTrigger on at least one of them
3. Thou Shalt have a 3D Rigidbody on at least one of them

[upper pebble]

I think I miiiight have done something wrong

[polar acorn]

These are 2D

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnTriggerEnter2D.html

Use the 2D function

[upper pebble]

Did that and enabled the isTrigger tick on both the player and object in the Inspector and now I get this error when they collide

Sorry for the music forgot to turn it off lmao

[slender nymph]

where do you assign that variable

[upper pebble]

Might sound stupid but is doing "if (coll.isTrigger)" not assigning it?

[slender nymph]

no. do you know what assignment means?

[upper pebble]

Not totally. I'm trying to get back into programming after quitting because of tutorial hell and I didn't realize how much i forgot

[slender nymph]

you should refresh yourself on the absolute basics, there are beginner c# courses pinned in this channel

also consider reading the full error message

[polar acorn]

What is coll

[upper pebble]

Collider2D. It's defined at the top (don't ask, it's just what was on the example and it didn't work when I went without it)

[polar acorn]

But what is it

What value did you set it to

[upper pebble]

Unironically enough when you pointed that out, I remembered something the thing suggested when I was throwing it together so I removed that part and changed it to other and now it works.

I am so cooked

You cant. The arms and full body use different animations, and in multiplayer the arms model are disabled(hidden) for other players. Same for you, the body is hidden

ive been working on my vr game foir bit now but still havent rly learned c# or anything jus been doing simple stuff and a couple tutorials that i learned some stuff from but anyone know a good tutoria to help me learn c# i mainly jus wanna learn rn if theres one specific to vr tho that would be great

oh ty

[faint bough]

Anyone know if you can invert the y axis on cinemachine free look camera

I thought It would be in input axis controller but I can't find any option to do it

Also does anyone know how to make it so when you're looking in a direction with the camera pressing forward makes you move in that direction

[naive pawn]

multiply your movement by the direction vectors of your player

[faint bough]

Uhhhh idk how to do that

[naive pawn]

do you understand what i said, to begin with

i don't know how much you know - if you don't understand some specific term, just ask

[faint bough]

I don't understand the whole thing tbh, I don't really have any actual knowledge on unity I just follow tutorials and then it goes in one ear and out the other

[naive pawn]

riiiight change that last part then

don't treat tutorials as something to copy

actually learn from them

they're examples

[faint bough]

Yeah Ik I'll do it after this project

[naive pawn]

if you don't learn then you won't be able to make anything beyond the tutorials

for example, this

[teal viper]

Why delay if you can start now?

[faint bough]

Because I have a project due tomorrow at 2pm and it is currently 3:30 am

[teal viper]

Why do to have a deadline if you "don't really have any actual knowledge on Unity"?

[naive pawn]

huh?

[faint bough]

Idk man I have a terrible memory, I'm very lazy and the people teaching my course didn't even really teach us how to use unity they just gave us tutorials to follow and kinda made us figure it out on our own

[worldly thicket]

so i can not add animations to a other character ?

[misty helm]

Can I fill these via code? Or is there some trick? It's tedious to fill this via drag and drop or selecter

[teal viper]

You can, if you have some algorithm in mind. Just remember that the pc can't read your mind.

[naive pawn]

you can also select multiple objects at once to set multiple entries

[misty helm]

child of gameObject xy, maybe. Everything with tag, or label? Maybe even just typing the gameObject Names

[naive pawn]

gotta lock the inspector first

[naive pawn]

you want to code from the inspector?

[misty helm]

maybe in start? on build Time? I don't know. I'm new to this.

lock inspector and drag and drop multiple was already a nice tip

[naive pawn]

in Reset, probably (if you were to go that path)

but just setting them from the inspector is generally easiest to work with

[misty helm]

I imagine this becoming annoying when one creates a real game.

[naive pawn]

if you reach that level you'll probably already have the necessary knowledge to research and implement it yourself, and/or skills to provide adequate info/context if you ask

[misty helm]

yeah.. maybe

[bronze fossil]

while saving info about player's state

I think it is more suitable to use JSON object and saving it for my game

but should i use both JSON and PlayerPrefs to store all the thing s

like use PlayerPrefs to store stuff like volume level/ High score
or should i only keep JSON Serialization since it is going to be there anyway for other things??

[sour fulcrum]

ideally player prefs would just be player (as in the application, not the controllable character) preferences

so volume level is a vibe but high score is better suited for custom json

[untold shore]

General question on organizing code real quick: whenever you're doing longer code, such as with a player, is it better to put different things into different scripts, or to make a longer, single script? Curious as I am doing a talking script where the player sends a raycast to detect things, and didnt know if I should put it in my script with my movement and all that. (Please @ me if you respond, thank you so much!)

[smoky raven]

Update on this, it was extended BY A MONTH 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭 I CAN CLUTCH IT FRFR

[untold shore]

You got this bro

[upper pebble]

What are you working on? Homework?

[naive pawn]

try to go by the single responsibility principle - each entity should do one coherent task.
that task might be split up into smaller subtasks, so that's where you'd have classes vs methods (for example)

if you have long code because you have a lot of disconnected things all handled in the same script, then you should split them up
if you have long code because this one feature is pretty complex and involves a lot of steps, you should keep it together

(and then notice that it being long is not really a factor at all - just whether it makes sense to be together)

[smoky raven]

Yes

So I have issue and i'm not sure why this is happening. So when the game is in play, the button won't change colors now. I have scripted that changes it, But it doesn't change. I manually try to change it and it works, i'm confused on why.

[teal viper]

What's with the hidden errors?

[safe root]

That's cause the top button script doesn't get the number from the script right now. Trying to get one button working and i'll fix that

Unless that is interfering

[teal viper]

Well, I(and probably you) can't tell without seeing these errors. 🤷‍♂️

In any case adding a debug log before the color change would help see if that code runs at all.

[safe root]

I seen them it's just a object reference for the current.ToString, future.ToString, etc

[safe root]

It does, the video shows the color changing when I hover over it

But the button itself doesn't change

Not to mention everything below runs fine as well. Cause if I rehover my mouse over the button the number do update

[teal viper]

To be honest I've never used ColorBlock and I'm not sure if just updating it should update the button rendering state.

[safe root]

How would I update the rendering state of it?

[north kiln]

Rather frustrating to see a stack trace with a line number, click on the script linked, and the line number doesn't even exist

[safe root]

Ouch, no line number for you

My guess is that this color is only used during transition. Which already happened by the time the event is called.

I don't get much just this

[teal viper]

You probably don't want to touch the buttons colors. Set the graphic component color instead.

Hello everyone,

Little background before my question, I'm working on a system simlar to the Post system described in the Uncharted GDC talk. I'm also working in a Behavior Tree system (specifically BD Pro but not super important).
I'm at the point where I've got functional cover seeking system that I've been working on for a while, along with a task that revalidated the cover to make sure it's still viable. Now I'm working on bringing in animations and tying the system together in more of a wholistic way and I'm curious for some advice.
I need to make a repeating system that will determine when to duck in and out of cover. I'm considering a few variables on what to look for when to actually crouch behind cover (mainly recent damage, need to reload, and a bit of random peek duration) but my main questions are how you would broadly approach this sort of system. Would this be a sequence of tasks contained in the Behavior Tree and all of the functionality is contained within that, or would you rather have a specific script on the actual NPC which communicates with a manager and a select few tasks in the Behavior Tree? Kind of swapping BDPro to simply be an overall brain to the body (if that makes sense).
I'm asking this mostly to see what others would think as I think I'm leaning down the treating the Behavior Tree as just a brain with most core functionality actually being separate

Any advice would be appreciated of course.

[safe root]

Fair enough

[north kiln]

I'm a little confused why you expect it to do anything, you change its colors when you're hovering it

it will not be in Normal Color, it will be in Highlighted

I also have no idea why you would be setting that via script only when hovered, instead of just setting the highlighted color in the inspector?

[safe root]

The highlighted color did nothing to the button when I change it

[north kiln]

Did you then hover the button after setting it?

[safe root]

I thought I did, guess not

thank you again

[balmy vortex]

idk onPointerOver doesnt even register at all

idk if I'm doing smth wrong but yeah

flower script --> https://paste.mod.gg/jeiccfasoldn/0

the bubbles use pretty much the same logic so I won't repost it

[naive pawn]

doesn't look like youve configured your ide

[hexed terrace]

I don't see an EventSystem in your scene, which I believe is required for PointerHandler

[balmy vortex]

is this the event system in question?

[hexed terrace]

Yes, looks like you're using the new input system...?

I do not know if that makes a difference to PointerHandlers though, worth checking

and what are you supposed to be pointer entering on? seein the first video without context I have no idea

Also, as an aside..

Don't do this. Find is slow, and if you remove or rename that game object you'll get a null reference on the following line and it's not going to be clear to you why.

var GameObjectEnemyManager = GameObject.Find("Enemy Manager");
EnemyManager = GameObjectEnemyManager.GetComponent<EnemyManager>();

It's best to create exposed fields (which you already have) and then assign directly in the inspector, when you can. If you can't do that, then it's better to just do (when there's only ever going to be one of in a scene)

EnemyManager = FindObjectOfType<EnemyManager>();

Hay ! I try to apply software architecture in my friend project for training

My goal is to make a Player prefab/modules that can be used either if I apply network code with Netcode for gameobject plugin or if I just play offline with a friend

Like this I would make the levels/scene etc way more easily without worries about network structure/code

it's my first try on drawing the Player interface -> (image below)

I asked my teacher and he was more into specilisation of PlayerOffline by making PlayerOnline (PlayerOnline is a child of PlayerOffline) and I think it's a way better to tackle the issue is I don't know if I could fuse that with NetCode lib since PlayerOffline would be a MonoBehavoire and PlayerOnline would be a NetworkBehavoir

[midnight plover]

You should first consider what is the difference between online and offline? In the end, it is still a player. So what do those off and online things share? You can still move something local from network with wrapper classes for off and online. Other question is, if you really want to rebuild an offline version of an online structure or just make the local player the host to fake offline

[lofty nebula]

What would be the most benefical ? I had the idea of faking offline but would take more ressources for the user(Host) ?

The difference between online and offline is the fact that they have different implementation (NetworkBehavior and MonoBehavior)

so I know that i will have the same methods for basic tasks like movement (running, sprint etc) or 2D Physics
The issue would be in the network version since we need to manage the way game update from both end (host and client) and that would mean using the network framework

my english sucks dang

[strong wren]

It's a good exercise, but most multiplayer frameworks already implement an "offline" mode. Big advantage is the simplicity of not really having to think about how singleplayer logic is handled.

[lofty nebula]

bro aint linkdin

[lofty nebula]

Do you have some tutorial/ressource or example of a project ?

if it's possible to achieve/use a "offline mode" from Unity NetCode for GameObjects

[strong wren]

I don't know if it has an explicit offline mode, but you can run in host mode and reject other connections.

[lofty nebula]

Then if I add a "local" player what would happen ?

[strong wren]

Host mode generally implies having a local player, unlike server mode.

[lofty nebula]

wut

bro are u real

[midnight plover]

As Danny said, most beneficial would be the local host mode to keep the logic at one place. Its just that your local pc would be the "server" and accept its own commands, thats it.

[lofty nebula]

Noted I will try to make a new diagram by applying that stuff

So at the end of the day I could just make a interface named IPlayer and one Player class with a final attribute isOnline ?

[ivory bobcat]

What members would your Player interface require to be implemented?

[lofty nebula]

All the action of a player like
running, jumping, having a collision that syncronize with the server etc...

Also a ScriptableObject for all the attribute stats of a character

It's what I planned to do

[lofty nebula]

ScriptableStats on the picture is what i planned to use

[ivory bobcat]

Hmmm, those would seem more likely to be on something that isn't an interface. Normally you'd want promised behaviors to be on interfaces. But I'm not entirely certain anymore as new C# interfaces allow some level of implementation nowadays.

[round sierra]

Hello, Im new here. Was wondering if its an appropriate time to ask for some advice?

[lofty nebula]

what

just ask right away wtf are u waiting for ? go ahead bud

[round sierra]

oh i didnt wanna interrupt you guys lol

[lofty nebula]

u absolutly can

feel free bro

love ya

[lofty nebula]

I assume that C# Interface were the same as Java Interface ?

Just a way to specifies how method signature should be implemented

[hexed terrace]

there's no queue system, just ask.. but use the correct channel. This is a CODE beginner channel, not a general beginner channel

[lofty nebula]

which is cool i could change a new more optimized player script in the futur or fix some bugs without redoing all my project

[round sierra]

thank you! anyways Im working on this 2.5d game and was looking for advice on what concepts i should learn to improve this movement script to make it less 'spaghetti' as ive heard that too many if statements can be bad. I've heard of state machines but not sure if it applies to this sort of stuff.

mainly asking because i got frustrated trying to get the attackstage to work properly

not sure if this happens to be more of a beginner question than a code one! (ill just remove it if so)

https://paste.mod.gg/krltjsvaykdr/0

[ivory bobcat]

Interfaces in C# were designed to hold definitions whereas Java allows you to hold data as well. You cannot have variables in C# interfaces. Only definitions (methods and properties) to be implemented by whatever implements the interface. There is default implementation with an interface now.. so it's becoming more ambiguous but overall I mainly use interfaces to promise (a sort of contract for) certain behaviors. For examplecs IShape Area Perimeter``````cs Triangle : IShape float b; float h; Area => b x h / 2; Perimeter => {...};``````cs List<IShape> shapes = new ... shapes.Add(new Triangle(p1, p2, p3)); shapes.Add(new Circle(c, r)); shapes.Add(new Square(c, b, h)); shapes.Add(new NGon(...));``````cs foreach(var shape in shapes) print(shape.Area);//print the area of each shape (how they're implemented and the members that they hold are unimportant)

[midnight plover]

I def. have seen worse code and way more hierarchies of if statements 😉 From your structure, it also does not really look like much spaghetti yet. You got your inputs, your coroutines tied to them and you got your update methods handling the states coming from those OnXXX methods. I am just wondering about your queuedInput system. Why would you want your attack to attack again after the first one? Is it a core mechanic of your game or do you just thought, it is a good idea to keep the incoming inputs and fire them after the current input?

[midnight plover]

And you said, you got frustrated. can you explain why? We do not know, what your desired visual outcome is, so would be good to have some details 🙂

[round sierra]

Ah basically I wanted to have it play an "attack 1" that goes into an "attack 2" if the button is pressed again within a certain window, but it ends up being just attack 1 over and over again. Im not quite sure if its because of how i structured my animator or if its a problem within the attack routine

Perhaps its because of the thing you mentioned about my queued input system aswell

Heres my animator for reference

[midnight plover]

I dont see any code thats calling something on the animator in your blazebin file. Or I am just blind

[round sierra]

Oh thats because its on a separate script, i can send them aswell rq

https://paste.mod.gg/lnfdxuiiuyml/0

[midnight plover]

Ah, got it. And if you select your palyer while attacking, what is happening? Is it going back to default? And whats the setting of the arrow between attack 1 and 2?

[low copper]

Hello everyone, For the first time I have a service that wants to use another service. I can avoid this by having duplicate code in my code base. Does anyone have any thoughts on keeping a strict separation of services?

[midnight plover]

What is a "service" in your case? Its hard to tell without any code, where you are struggling? What prevents service1 using service2?

[round sierra]

i notice that the isattacking state ends too quickly so it doesnt end up playing attack 2

also the arrow between is the attackStage integer set to 2

[low copper]

@midnight plover : I'm working within a service locator design pattern. In this specific case I have a level manager that, if I let have access to my save game manager, could save me duplicate code in my code base

[midnight plover]

Id rather use a trigger from attack 1 to 2. so as long as its attacking, you could go into an endless amount of clips with everytime you fire the trigger. Or you could use a blendtree using your attackStage to lerp between the clips

[midnight plover]

ah got you. And do you have any doubts about giving the level manager access to the save manager?

[low copper]

I'm just new at all this and want to avoid consquences that I am unaware of later in my project

[round sierra]

never tried trigger before, ill def try it out! thanks!

[hard python]

can someone help me with level load script

[slender nymph]

Don't Ask To Ask

[midnight plover]

Ah okay. Yeh, I have not touched the service locator pattern in that strict way myself, so lets wait for someone with more experience in that topic.

[hard python]

i have set the object to E for enteract key, but i go to it and press E. Nothing happens.

i have set another option moving into the object and it work and teleports me to starting point.

what am i doing wrong

[midnight plover]

How should we know, whats wrong without any code?

[hard python]

should i post my code here

[polar acorn]

What is supposed to make something happen when you press E?

[hard python]

its suppose to send back to the starting point in map, it only work if walk into it, not by pressing E to interact

[polar acorn]

So, again, what is supposed to be making it happen when you press E? Start by looking there.

[lofty nebula]

My teacher didn't teach us that we could hold data in Java. That's new for me and perhaps bad since like you said we use interfaces to promise some sort of contract

[naive pawn]

java interfaces can't have variables. they have have constants, as can c# interfaces

[naive pawn]

you cannot hold data in interfaces in java, as it should be - that wouldn't make sense as you say

[lofty nebula]

Since u're here
How should I structure a 2d online platfromer of 2 players which i can play offline or online ?
I got interested on software architecture since I got enrolled into a CS degree (especilly my Java Teacher there's a world I don't know about making up good code)

This is what i began to draw Monday a UML graph (not finished)

[naive pawn]

Since u're here
don't target random people for specific questions, just ask the room.

[lofty nebula]

what room ? #1390346492019212368 ?

[naive pawn]

i mean, ask to the channel as a whole, not one person

that's the point of a community server

you want to support local multiplayer and online multiplayer?

[lofty nebula]

Yup and I don't want me or my teammate to write netcode stuff later on making levels for example

[naive pawn]

wellll that's not gonna work
