[lofty nebula]

Yea same interface for 2 diffrent thing

[naive pawn]

online multiplayer is just.. very inherently complex, or so i've heard

[lofty nebula]

that's wut i learned in Tuesday

[lofty nebula]

There's a library called netcode for GameObject made by Unity that herit from MonoBehavior (and more?)

[naive pawn]

just seems like you'd have separate gamemodes entirely for online vs local multiplayer, and you could maybe have a base class for player control that can be extended to be the specific online/local versions

[lofty nebula]

Nah I want to avoid that stuff
Before DannyWebbie told me a way of only making the online version and if i want to add local players with some kind of host mode ? I need to do more search about it

Programmers hate redoing stuff so it must be a way of avoiding that

[raven perch]

I want to make prefab hallway that is made of 3 or 4+ sections, [entrance/exit, middle section, middle section variant, entrance/exit]
Then when I create the hall prefab in code to span some gap between rooms I can tile it.
Should I just make each section a unique prefab and deal with placing it all with code, or should I look into using splines?

[frail hawk]

really unclear what you are trying to achieve

try to explain it better

[swift crag]

you could use splines to guide the placement of the hallways

or even deform the hallway meshes based on the curve of the spline

(this would require you to either modify the mesh or to write a pretty wacky shader)

[glass summit]

Does Stop() pause an audio source to be resumed later again or does it stop it completely?

[slender nymph]

what do the docs say?

[glass summit]

forget I asked

[raven perch]

sorry kids woke up, Im spawning rooms with a generator and the connecting them with hallways, originally I just wanted one middle section that stretched like this

[frail hawk]

Fen also replied, you might want to read the message

[raven perch]

but now im thinking i should leave each piece as a separate prefab so i could introduce some more variety

In my case, all of the hallways will be straight as well. so I dont think I would want to use splines if i dont need curves. I just saw that tool as a suggestion.

[eternal needle]

that does sound more like a game design thought, do you need variety in it? If you actually expect to have a ton of combinations then it could be worthwhile and you define the combination in some list.
If you don't expect to have a ton then making it all a prefab might be quicker

id go with whatever you feel is quicker and an easier workflow

[frail hawk]

i´d probably use a variation of predefined prefabs and use those instead of doing it via code

[rough granite]

Someone's grumpy, btw the answer would've been given right there if you went to docs

It starts from the start when played again

[crystal shell]

Hello! I've been trying to fix this for hours. I'm a beginner programmer and game dev and I'm currently working on a small game that is a top down pixel 32x32 game and I just started with the player movements but I have an issue. When pressing the W button, the Walk_Back animation should play but instead the Walk_Front animation plays and I have no idea why! The transitions are as they should be. (I'm showing the Idle Blend Tree and the Walk Blend Tree in the first 2 screenshots) Screenshot 4 and 5 shows my components inside the inspector when I have chosen my character. This is my code: using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public float speed = 5f;
private Animator animator;
private Rigidbody2D rb;

private Vector2 movement;

void Start()
{
    animator = GetComponent<Animator>();
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

void Update()
{
    // Get raw input
    movement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    movement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

    // This tells the Animator which direction we want to face
    animator.SetFloat("MoveX", movement.x);
    animator.SetFloat("MoveY", movement.y);

    // If movement input isn’t zero
    if (movement.x != 0 || movement.y != 0)
    {
        animator.SetBool("isMoving", true);
    }
    else
    {
        animator.SetBool("isMoving", false);
    }
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    // Actually move using physics
    rb.MovePosition(rb.position + movement.normalized * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
}

}

[swift crag]

when sharing code, wrap it in ``` like this:

```cs
blarg
```

that'll make it show up a little more nicely in Discord

[swift crag]

Do all of the other animations play correctly?

Or are they all wrong?

[balmy vortex]

hi is it possible at all to lower mouse DPI inside a unity window? and if so how would you go about doing it?

[prime goblet]

change the sensitivity in scripts that use it probably?

[swift crag]

with an unlocked cursor?

not that I'm aware of: the cursor position is coming from your operating system

[crystal shell]

All of the other animations play correctly yes

[balmy vortex]

wdym?

[balmy vortex]

sad

[prime goblet]

if it's a locked cursor then you could do that

[swift crag]

make sure that Walk_Front actually displays the correct sprites

You can preview the animations while you have the character selected in the scene

[crystal shell]

Yes, Walk_Front is as it should be and Walk_Back is also as it should be, I still do not understand why it does not work. One thing that is interesting is that I tried to change the Walk_Back to a copy of a different animation and that did not show up either so there is nothing wrong with the animation itself, it must be inside the animator or the script

[crystal shell]

I tried adjusting the order here in the screen shot and that changes the walking animation. I put the Walk_Back at the top and that switched their places?! Hm

It seems like the one at the top controls what animation plays

[balmy vortex]

idk I've tried everything atp and it still just literally doesn't work

idrk wat I'm supposed to do

[grand snow]

For IPointerEnterHandler, IPointerExitHandler and the others to work you need:

• A collider on the gameobject
• a PhysicsRaycaster OR Physics2DRaycaster on your camera
• an event system in a loaded scene

However if these are used in UGUI then only an event system is required

Once you fix this you will start receiving these pointer events in your monobehaviour
These inputs get blocked by UI by default btw.

[swift crag]

ah!

you're using MoveX twice

[sour palm]

hay I was just wondering how I can hook up my cinema machine free-look cam to a raycast.

[grand snow]

thats too vague, how is this being used? you can still get the position of the current camera and do raycasts as normal when using cinemachine

[sour palm]

Well the goal is to have the ray cast be projected from the position of the camera. Rather than the raycast need to find something that is directly in front of the player model it can find things the player camera is looking at.

my original idea is that I make the camera a component of the player script but that hasn't fully panned out.

[grand snow]

Very typical. Perform a raycast using ScreenPointToRay
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Camera.ScreenPointToRay.html

The camera cinemachine is controlling should be used for this

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html

[sour palm]

thanks.

[grand snow]

Example i stole from the unity docs

Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Mouse.current.position.ReadValue());
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, 100))
            print("Hit something!");

That is using the current mouse position. You want to provide the screen center.
You can also get away with using the camera position and forward vector (from the cameras transform)

[rough granite]

oddly this isnt even in the doc you linked -_-

[grand snow]

tis in the raycast doc page trust me 😆

[warm iris]

Can someone help pls? I'm trying to find a guide for unity's new input system, I only need buttons wasd but to rotate so it has to be button type, not value, I can't find any guide on this because everyone shows moving, even unity docs are useless

[grand snow]

You would have an input action thats Vector2. you read this and then do whatever you want with the input data

This is no different to the old input system and reading horizontal and vertical

[warm iris]

why would this be a vector2

I only need to check if button has been pressed

[grand snow]

because A-D is the x axis and W-S is y

Do not fall into that trap

you want to avoid reading keys directly. you know if the user is pressing left/right/up/down based on the data you read

[solar hill]

are you asking because in your code youre checking for individual keys? because when you switch to the new input system you will have to refactor some of your code

[warm iris]

I dont have any code yet, im a beginner, Im trying to already learn the new input system

and skip the old one

[warm iris]

but if I put it to value, then if I hold a button like d it will count as rotating several times

I read the docs, button type meets my needs

and all guides are for the vector value

[grand snow]

You can check the phase and use many extension methods to know if the action was activated this frame

You can have the action type be button but its easier when working with pairs of keys/controls to use value

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.17/manual/ActionsEditor.html#action-type

[golden notch]

what kind of a hop jogging error is this?

[rich adder]

check the stacktrace and show us the line in question ?

[golden notch]

ItemSO[] itemSOs = Resources.LoadAll<ItemSO>("ScriptableObjects");

all i did was inside my scriptable object add this to allow people to get the name of it without usig a function.

    {
        assetName = name;
    }```

[rich adder]

SOs cant have constructor

[golden notch]

why not?

[rich adder]

because its a Unity Object not a System one so unity deals with them internally "their own way"

they are initialized in the C++ code

You can probably just do the same thing in Awake() though..it is comparable to a constructor

[zenith cypress]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/ScriptableObject.Awake.html just keep in mind it isn't just called once

[shell sorrel]

i would not even use awake either since if you are using a asset version of it, its not going to call when you expect it too

if you need some sort of standard setup and init just make a public function and call it

[rich adder]

true there is probably better alternatives to this

[shell sorrel]

also like if something needs a constructor i feel maybe it should not be SO

but just a regular struct or object

[rich adder]

ya could be original setup might be creeping into xyproblem territory

[shell sorrel]

especially in cases where the SO's are referecned by other things and loaded via other things, the lifecycle messages can get pretty weird timing wise

[rich adder]

don't crosspost . #🖱️┃input-system

[golden notch]

i just made a custom attribute for a readonly attribute

why does it not exist already? :v

Why? Because I want to show the "assetname" of a SO in the editor even though it's just the name but people might not know that.

also a useful tool for myself for later

[sour fulcrum]

unity will lay off a thousand staff before adding small features to the core unity

[golden notch]

wow

[prime goblet]

they also still havent made serialisable dictionaries, you need packages for them

[rich adder]

because putting AI Tools pleases the shareholders..duh

priorities mannn

[sly shard]

Lmao

[golden notch]

should i store inventory data in a scriptable object? Or do I need to make an external class handler?

[slender nymph]

a scriptable object is also a class. so either way you're creating a class for it.
just keep in mind that data does not persist between play sessions unless you write it to disk so you'll need to serialize the inventory data and write it to a file either way. so how you handle it (whether using an SO or plain class) is entirely up to you

[boreal sonnet]

Can anyone tell me how to solve this issue . I'm not able to solve it on my own?

whenever i try to move my player this error shows.. and if i don't make any any movement no error ?... its the unity sprite flight game ?

[ivory bobcat]

Is that line 43 of the player controller script?

[boreal sonnet]

yes

[ivory bobcat]

ui doc or root visual element is null

[boreal sonnet]

i'm new to this but ui is not null i've assign the ui doc in inspector window

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show us the inspector?

[boreal sonnet]

yeah wait

[ivory bobcat]

Can you show the game ui object?

[boreal sonnet]

as in?

the player or

[ivory bobcat]

Whatever you're referencing right there in the ui document field is supposed to have a root visual element that's likely null

[ivory bobcat]

Click on the game ui object and show us the inspector

[ivory bobcat]

Is ui document a class that you've created?

[boreal sonnet]

i dont think so cuz whatever the instructions it was in the tutorials /i was only following it

[ivory bobcat]

Looks like this component https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/UIE-create-ui-document-component.html

Scripting manual https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/UIElements.UIDocument.html

[ivory bobcat]

Which tutorial are you following? Can you provide the link?

[boreal sonnet]

its on the unity hub >learn>sprite flight

I'm learing this first then i'll create something new on my own.

[boreal sonnet]

i'll try this now .let you now

[ivory bobcat]

Looks like you're on this step:
Step 9: https://learn.unity.com/course/2d-beginner-game-sprite-flight/tutorial/add-a-scoring-system#682ca523edbc2a013054e099

Explanation:
.rootVisualElement gives you access to the top-level container of the UI layout.
.Q<Label>("ScoreLabel") uses Unity’s query system to find the first element of type Label with the name ScoreLabel.
Make sure the name exactly matches what you set in UI Builder — spelling, capitalization, and all.

Prior to the line, place these logs:cs Debug.Log(uiDocument); Debug.Log(uiDocument.rootVisualElement);
Maybe your score label name is incorrectly spelled

[ivory bobcat]

Make sure you're doing everything exactly as they have done.

[river kettle]

Hey guys I'm kinda new to this but I'm having severe jittering issues with my camera so I was wondering if there were any general fixes I could try the scripts are a bit convoluted so I won't share the code rn but I've tried the fixed, late and normal update combinations but nothings seeming to work please let me know if you have any ideas even if they're super obvious I could have just missed somthing

[ivory bobcat]

Try changing the rigid body interpolation mode

Interpolate should smooth out the issues

[river kettle]

that's.. not your computer's fault, but ok

[solemn crypt]

Ik it’s just a joke

[median hatch]

me too

are you trying to make a singleton?

honestly I'd setup the IDE first

this is no way of working

[median hatch]

SOs arent dynamic

[midnight plover]

Whats the issue you got with the singleton pattern?

[median hatch]

they're good for static data and thats it

if you need dynamic data then save it to JSON or xml

then you just unserialize back to a class and its easy to read and write to it during runtime

all of that will need a save system

so I'd also say you need SaveManager that sends events everytime you save the game

other objects that are subscribed will catch that event and write to the JSON

[midnight plover]

You can also combine SOs with data stored in any stoargetype (json, database) and use serialization to save and load into the SOs.

[median hatch]

that too but its an extra step

[midnight plover]

Depends on the usage, as always. I have been using it to create a node based quest system taht you can tie together and the serialized data will then overwrite those nodes to get the players status of the quest for example

[median hatch]

hm I see so you grab the SO data and overwrite it?

everytime you want a new value you'll need to create it twice then

for me everything that is dialogue is saved in an SO since i need localization

then in a json i save the dialogueIndex and other stuff like which emotion to show

or what objective to trigger

then it all connects nicely

[midnight plover]

The SOs basically present the default state when you start the game and in runtime they get overwritten by the serialized data stored somewhere. In that case I can also revert to the default state, because SOs reset on runtime restart anyways

[kindred plume]

how in gods name does 1 stop getting class errors
its all i get from every script i make

like how...the class name is the same as the script name

I remember my scripts once or twice not being.... refreshed in unity or something? so I had to make a minor change in a file and resave it and now it's working

not sure it's related

[verbal dome]

Eariler? Wouldn't that mean going through the floor?

Ah I see what you mean

You don't want it to hang there but drop instead

[verbal dome]

You can do a physics query like spherecast/spherecheck to check if there's nothing below you and then move forwards if so

Probably would need to check if the forward direction is free too

[hexed terrace]

not the forward direction, the vector direction it's going to be pushed in .. if the character is going off backwards, forward dir won't be relevant

[queen adder]

and of course I dont know how to do all those things in code ^^

[hexed terrace]

break it down, and google
First thing would be to search "how to do a sphere cast in unity"

[queen adder]

okay so I need a sphere cast physics check to check if theres anything below, and apply a force forward or backward if theres nothing

[hexed terrace]

not forward or backward from the characters perspective.. because again, if it's side on, or at any angle inbetween.. forward/ backward won't look right

[verbal dome]

Yeah, i should say "move direction"

[hexed terrace]

You will want to get the direction of the face ledge and push in that direction

[queen adder]

Okay thank you I will try searching for answers how to do that

[modern lagoon]

Hi guys, what do you think about using github for hosting unity projects? My concerns are about the project size that could easily go past 2GBs... Do you know any free/low cost alternatives?

[hexed terrace]

the two big hosts are github and gitlab.. check the pricing on there.

I don't think there's a free hosting that is gonna give you enough for a Unity project.

Mid last year I bought a NAS and setup a local, self-hosted, git server.. cost ~£600 for the nas and 2x 14TB HDD's

[rich adder]

in most cases you're fine, not uploading big assets (especially if its art)

[hexed terrace]

if you're solo ^

[rich adder]

I have over 45+ projects on github and yet to have hit free limits, as long as you use proper gitignore and reserve huge assets (over 1-2GB) for other hosts

[hexed terrace]

If not, it is possible to host your large files on something like google drive and symlink (IIRC) them into the project.

Had a couple of friends doing that on their VR project years ago - I assume it's still possible

[mystic hemlock]

shouldn't the SerializeField Objects differ from an object to another? For some reason when I edit it for an object. all objects get updated too.

I have an NPC script which is attached to each npc. I use the SerializeField attributes to control each NPC behaviour from the editor

but when I update it for one. it updates for the others

[keen dew]

What are you updating, exactly

[mystic hemlock]

the first 2

action. and male

I have different animations for female and male characters. so the bool decides which animation to play
the action decide if the npc is idle and stay still. or is moving and then uses the patrollingLocations

[keen dew]

So you have multiple objects with the NPCBehaviour component in the scene and when you check or uncheck the male bool in one of them, the others change at the same time?

[mystic hemlock]

yes

same for action too

[keen dew]

Can you show a video, because that shouldn't be possible with booleans

[keen dew]

You have the inspector locked. It's showing the same object the whole time

[mystic hemlock]

oh...

I'm so dumb

thank you 🫠

[red igloo]

I am still stuck on this issue and have no idea how to fix it. I am trying to rotate the player with my mouse input which works but the sensitivity is increased a lot. I tried lowering the sensitivity but it doesn't help. I think its because the tracking target is a child of the player and it will inherit the player's rotation and apply its own on top of that maybe?? Idk at this point. Should I not use cinemachine and just use a normal camera and not make it a child of the player and make it follow the player with a script?
Script: https://paste.ofcode.org/Hmai7FcYtPhDiEEw75eLBR

[elfin pike]

Why there isnt any tutorial about cursor. How to even change sensitivity? only thing i found is to have object acting as cursor, but then how to make it click UI

[keen dew]

Try to have the player object follow the camera rotation instead of the mouse

sorry

[red igloo]

If your going to say change the reference frame to something else thats a no go cause the headbob rotation effect will no longer work if I change it to something else.

[slender nymph]

no, but you're probably letting this rotate the cinemachine camera around the Y axis so it's rotating faster than the player is

if your camera is meant to follow the rotation of the player then don't let it pan, only let it tilt

[hearty junco]

oh

lemme check

[elfin pike]

I need help. Im very stuck into making Virtual cursor. I only found 10 years old github code, which doesnt work and is very complex for me to understand. How people make virtual cursor in this day of age?

[rich adder]

depends what input system you're using

[elfin pike]

new inputSystem

[rich adder]

generally
virtualcursor.position = Mouse.current.position.value

you might need to convert it to worldspace

I think new input system also has a "virtual cursor" you can drive

[elfin pike]

its very easy to move it, but SystemEvents wont work with virtualcursor

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.UI.VirtualMouseInput.html
I think new input system yo ucan use this and still detect UI events

input system package I think has example

[elfin pike]

wait virtual cursor isnt same as fake cursor? All i need was change cursor speed

[rich adder]

I know that VirtualMouseInput has a cursor speed that you can adjust

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.1/api/UnityEngine.InputSystem.UI.VirtualMouseInput.html#UnityEngine_InputSystem_UI_VirtualMouseInput_cursorSpeed

if you're using your own cursor you just multiply movement * speed

[elfin pike]

i created own cursor, but then cant interact with UI

[rich adder]

you can if you use custom inputmodule

[red igloo]

Ok so I disabled the rotate script just to check if I can rotate left and right which I can't so its working. So the camera is following the rotation of the player but the sensitivity is still to high and changing the value does nothing really.

is it because of the action properties of my input?

[elfin pike]

Its not very beginner solution. i opened documentation and its very long and complex

[rich adder]

https://github.com/AmyDentata/VirtualInputModule

[elfin pike]

thats old Input system solution 10 years ago i told about

[queen adder]

if (horizontalMove != Vector3.zero) // prevents unnecessary Normalize math from running
            horizontalMove.Normalize(); // Prevents the 1.41 diagonal speed increase
        
if (playerInput.sqrMagnitude > 0.01f)
    horizontalMove.Normalize();

which way is the better way?

[rich adder]

top

sqrMagnitude cost more

[queen adder]

My rationale is can the player input actually be zero with mouses or joysticks

if its 0.0001 then it wont work?

[verbal dome]

Note that sqrMagnitude of 0.01f corresponds to a magnitude of 0.1f (0.1 * 0.1)

Which isn't a very small number

Do you want the input always to be 0 or 1 length?

[night raptor]

Be careful not to make all speeds the same. You probably want to have moving factors less than 1 (magnitude) too. For that, check Vector3.ClampMagnitude

[queen adder]

Yes but i still have mouse inputs and joystick inputs which read between 0 and 1

[night raptor]

Your clamping logic makes the magnitude always be either 0 or 1 as Osmal pointed out

[queen adder]

void MoveCharacter()
    {
        Vector2 playerInput = moveActionReference.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        
        Vector3 horizontalMove = myCamera.transform.right * playerInput.x + myCamera.transform.forward * playerInput.y;
        horizontalMove.y = 0f; // Stops player from trying to move up or down when camera is looking up and down
        if (horizontalMove != Vector3.zero) // prevents unnecessary Normalize math from running
            horizontalMove.Normalize(); // Prevents the 1.41 diagonal speed increase
        
        // if (playerInput.sqrMagnitude > 0.01f)
        //     horizontalMove.Normalize();
        
        Vector3 movement = horizontalMove * movementSpeed + Vector3.up * _verticalVelocity.y;
        myController.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);
    }

am I missing something

[rich adder]

so did you try using the virtual cursor feature in new input system ?

[elfin pike]

idk, why but it wasnt reading any input from mouse

[red igloo]

I changed the values and it stopped the fast sensitivity but now when I move around / look around it feels kinda weird and stutters when looking around.

[queen adder]

horizontalMove = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(horizontalMove, 1f);

The result is the same

[verbal dome]

Is it not what you want?

[rich adder]

you might need to add another action for it in the action map that has mouse checked in

[queen adder]

yes but then the if (horizontalMove != Vector3.zero) is cheaper no

[rich adder]

it wont even matter at that level

micro optimizations unecessary

[queen adder]

my concern is if inputs are indeed dead zero, if some joystick would have like a little input of 0.002 if its worn out then the (horizontalMove != Vector3.zero) it would always run the normalize function when it wouldnt be needed

[queen adder]

true, just like to learn as Im a beginner and would like to know how it runs "under the hood" ^^

[verbal dome]

Unity uses a small epsilon when comparing vectors with ==

        [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptionsEx.AggressiveInlining)]
        public static bool operator==(Vector3 lhs, Vector3 rhs)
        {
            // Returns false in the presence of NaN values.
            float diff_x = lhs.x - rhs.x;
            float diff_y = lhs.y - rhs.y;
            float diff_z = lhs.z - rhs.z;
            float sqrmag = diff_x * diff_x + diff_y * diff_y + diff_z * diff_z;
            return sqrmag < kEpsilon * kEpsilon;
        }

Here's the source
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Runtime/Export/Math/Vector3.cs

You can find ClampMagnitude etc. there too

[elfin pike]

i should change input code part with new inputSystem?

[rich adder]

are you not using that already ? you're confusing me now

[verbal dome]

(The epsilon is way smaller than 0.002)

[elfin pike]

that code you sent me is based on old input system

[queen adder]

I have to get myself a controller and test this out ^^ thanks

[verbal dome]

Mathf.ClampMagnitude only uses Sqrt (the "expensive" part) when the magnitude is greater than the max

[rich adder]

yeah but then I said if you're actually using the new input system you may use the virtual cursor feature it could work then , you said but for mouse it wasnt working, and I said It might need to be added in the action map with the "virtual cursor" option on

[verbal dome]

You are correct in thinking about the joystick drift though. I'm not too familiar with the new input system, but the old one had some functionality built-in for this

Joystick deadzones and such

[queen adder]

Im reading now that ClampMagnitude is the better way especially for analog joysticks

using the Normalize function wouldnt preserve the sensitivity, so the acceleration speed would go from 0 to 1 instantly even if the analog stick would be moved very slightly

ClampMagnitude preserves that

[night raptor]

Clamping the magnitude is often what you want to do instead of forcing it to a value. The input systems usually have also some value for each axis to define how large the input needs to be before it registers so usually you don't have to care about that in your own code (I have no clue about the new input system but would be shocked if there wasn't one)

[queen adder]

Are you still using the Input manager?

I mean there should be a registered deadzone built in the Input System for sure

[night raptor]

Haven't bothered learning the new properly yet. I haven't done proper games with unity for a long time though. Anyways, there seems to be a Axis Deadzone processor

[opal zodiac]

YOO anyone able to help me understand inheritence? im trying to make a base script for flying enemies and ground enemies and its not making any sense

[rocky canyon]

https://gamedevbeginner.com/inheritance-in-unity/

https://learn.unity.com/pathway/junior-programmer/unit/apply-object-oriented-principles/tutorial/inheritance-and-polymorphism-in-object-oriented-programming-1

[opal zodiac]

My man

[rocky canyon]

good luck 🍀

imo its best to just start out simple like this example

where the Player class doesn't contain a hp float.. but since it inherits from Human and Human does it'll appear in the inspector as it does

same thing applies to methods as well

[opal zodiac]

i can understand something small like that. Once it gets more complicated where overrides are happening or protected classes start coming into play is when my brain stops working. inheriting from separate scrips also is confusing as hell for me rn

[swift crag]

you can only inherit from one base class

[opal zodiac]

im thinking i should go back to the fundamentals of classes then work my way up maybe?

[rich adder]

virtual void Fart()

[red igloo]

Anyone know how to fix this? is the issue from my input?

[swift crag]

virtual methods allow for child classes to do something more specific than their parent

importantly, they allow for this kind of behavior

public class Foo {
  public virtual void Hello() { Debug.Log("I am Foo"); }
}

public class Bar : Foo {
  public override void Hello() { Debug.Log("I'm actually Bar"); }
}

...

Foo holder = new Foo();
holder.Hello(); // logs "I am Foo"
holder = new Bar();
holder.Hello(); // logs "I'm actually Bar"

non-virtual methods don't work like this: if your variable is a Foo, you get the methods of Foo, no matter what

imagine a method that checks if the enemy is out of bounds and should be deleted

The base class's method could check if the enemy is in a room the player isn't in

The flying class's method could check if the enemy is more than 50 meters above the ground

Now flying enemies get deleted if:

• They're in the wrong room
• They're too high up

public class BaseEnemy {
  public virtual bool IsInBounds() {
    return RoomIsCorrect();
  }
}

public class FlyingEnemy : BaseEnemy {
  public override bool IsInBounds() {
    return base.IsInBounds() && height < 50;
  }
}

it's great for when you want to add some extra logic to an existing function

importantly, this works correctly:

BaseEnemy enemy = FindAnEnemy(); // suppose this finds a flying enemy
enemy.IsInBounds(); // this checks if the enemy is too high up!

you don't care exactly what kind of enemy you have

it Just Works (tm)

This is what makes inheritance interesting.

FlyingEnemy is a specific kind of BaseEnemy with extra features

[opal zodiac]

@swift crag BRUHH thank you this is starting to make more sense

my brain is on fire so ima take a break then do that unity inheritance course. after that im hoping this all clicks and i can continute developing ❤️

[swift crag]

along with inheritance, you'll want to learn about composition

in my game, everything is an Entity

each Entity has a Locomotion that determines how it moves

e.g. HumanoidLocomotion for things that walk around

or FreecamLocomotion for spectators

this can solve some really annoying problems that inheritance introduces

imagine you have flying/walking enemies, and then those enemies can shoot projectiles/use melee

you don't want to do something like

• Enemy
  • FlyingEnemy
    • FlyingMeleeEnemy
    • FlyingRangedEnemy
  • WalkingEnemy
  • WalkingMeleeEnemy
  • WalkingRangedEnemy

it's not clear what order the inheritance should even happen in

and you wind up with lots of duplicate code

A composition-based system would give each Enemy a way to move around and a way to attack

of course, now you have to figure out how to make the attack module talk to the movement module

it can get tricky 😉

[midnight tree]

I think he needs to get sort of example actually to understand this one. I've got this(Not only me I guess) only though my own (painful but fair :D) experience.

[rocky canyon]

[mystic hemlock]

What is this?

[rich adder]

a compile error

[mystic hemlock]

how can I fix it? I can't build my game

[rich adder]

don't use something that doesn't exist

[mystic hemlock]

this is not my script

I don't know what "TextureMaker" is

[solar hill]

might be an asset of some kind

wait

texturemaker is your script...

[rich adder]

well wherever you copied it from probably has wrong API version

[mystic hemlock]

it is not. I didn't make any

[solar hill]

your as in the one you are currently having issues with

[mystic hemlock]

I didn't copy it

the error appeared only when I tried building the game.

it is my first time seeing it

[rich adder]

because you can't build with compile errors

something could be Editor only and its removing namespace / classes for it

[frail hawk]

go here

[mystic hemlock]

if it is a compiler error why I can run the game with no errors?

[solar hill]

also you have a script, that you have no clue what it does, that you got from somewhere?

whats the point of the script

and why is it in your project then

[rich adder]

something could be Editor only and its removing namespace / classes for it

we don't know for sure if you don't provide further context

[mystic hemlock]

So I should just delete it?

[solar hill]

youre the one who added the script.....

[mystic hemlock]

I didn't.

smh my head

[solar hill]

so how did it end up in your project?

[rich adder]

dyno used to work with commands inline this doesnt

[mystic hemlock]

I don't know. I thought it was something built-in or something so I asked here

[solar hill]

well i doubt its built in since its in your assets folder

did you import any packages?

[rich adder]

TextureMaker is not something build in

[mystic hemlock]

I did. I imported only 4 and I know their files

wait a minute I will re-check the files name from the package manager

[rich adder]

whatever it is you added clearly put that there

it doesn't just appear out of thin air

[sour palm]

hay quick question how do I set my Print() to print a layer's name?

for context I have a raycast and I just need to make sure its not seeing the player layer.

[slender nymph]

you don't "set" it to do anything, you pass the layer's name to the print method. you can get the layer by using one of the LayerMask methods (i'll let you look at the docs to find out which)

but also a raycast expects a layer mask not a single layer, these are different things

[mystic hemlock]

it doesn't belong to any asset

I will make a copy and then delete the file and see what happens

[slender nymph]

you haven't imported any samples from any packages/assets?

[mystic hemlock]

if you are talking about sample scenes. I did import them

[slender nymph]

you do realize that the samples contain more than just scenes, right?

[rich adder]

I bet if you delete the .cs a bunch of compile errors show up

[frail hawk]

post your code,we might find something

[rich adder]

more than likely some asset using it

[mystic hemlock]

nothing showed up so far

[mystic hemlock]

you mean the Settings files?

[slender nymph]

no, i mean samples from packages can include code

[rich adder]

well then maybe the asset you don't have anymore or it put it there on import only . who knows.
try to build now then

[mystic hemlock]

if it does it should be inside the specific asset folder. not outside

[sour palm]

here are the relevant parts.

[slender nymph]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[mystic hemlock]

the editor created another copy but empty this time 🤔

[slender nymph]

presumably some asset or package did that

[mystic hemlock]

So I just need to remove every script added with all the assets I imported right?. I don't use any of them in the game so I guess it should be fine

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject-layer.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/LayerMask.LayerToName.html

checking the docs usually you find the answers

[sour palm]

thank you.

[slender nymph]

do note that you are using a layer mask here, not a layer index so that won't be correct 😉

[elfin pike]

tried setting virtual mouse, but recieved "
The bounds contain one of the following values: NaN, float.PositiveInfinity, float.NegativeInfinity. All values in bounds are reset to zero.
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)
"

[worn niche]

So I just started with the Untiy Timeline feature and I don't like that you need the create a new signal emitter every time you want to do a new action. Is there a work around or better way? because I don't like to have so many signal emitters in my project

[frail hawk]

you can simply out the RaycastHit and see which collider it hits

if you check the docs you´ll see how to use it

also no need for the ~ if you declare the layermask via inspector

[rich adder]

probably not, this is basically an improved system from the "Event" in Animation clip/Animator

[frail hawk]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Physics.Raycast.html at very bottom this shows you how to use the RaycastHit, as you have it rn

then you can use
Debug.Log(hit.collider)

[rich adder]

oh ya but you also do need RaycastHit to check what you hit

[frail hawk]

yes that is what i said

[rich adder]

totally missed that in the screenshot of code lol

[mystic hemlock]

build done with no errors

thank you

[frail hawk]

congratulations

i think people should learn to read console messages

they do have a purpouse

especially error messages with a red color

[rich adder]

yeah who knows might be something that got added during build process if the game was able to run with a compile error

[frail hawk]

just saying

[rich adder]

but also could be something in that file might've contained an editor UnityEditor namespace only extension method

[opal zodiac]

hell yeah thanks for this. ima do all these as well as the unity course

[sour palm]

hay I'm just doing some testing but this line

isMonster = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.forward, playerHight * 0.5f, whatIsMonsterdetect);

just refuses to work for me
I think its the Vector3.forward but i'm not sure why Vector3.down works fine

[tawdry fox]

I'm not really sure why this is popping up but is it important to fix early on?

[swift crag]

are you actually using the Package Validation Suite?

[swift crag]

first, make sure that this code is actually running at all: use Debug.Log to print something out

you can also use Debug.DrawRay to visualize what you're doing

One possible issue here is that you're using Vector3.forward

This always points in the world +Z direction

It doesn't care which way the player is facing

[tawdry fox]

to be honest i dont even know what it is

[swift crag]

If you want the player's forward vector, use transform.forward – this is a vector pointing in the direction of the blue arrow

[swift crag]

You can ignore the message. You probably don't even need to have the package installed.

Unity recently introduced package signing, which lets package authors add a digital signature to the package

(to prove who created it, and to prove that it hasn't been tampered with)

A lot of existing stuff will not have signatures on it

[tawdry fox]

DrawRay, not DrawLine

Oh lol I see it now.

thank you

how do I make it longer?

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Debug.DrawRay.html

it takes some extra arguments

[sour palm]

I tryed this
Debug.DrawRay(camOrientation.position, forward, Color.blue, 999f);
but now its just going the wrong direction.

[rich adder]

what is forward and why is it now different from your camOrientation.forward

if you wanted it longer you just do dir * length. Not sure why you copied the dir from docs

put Debug.Log in OnMove and check results in console,
check what you set speed to / screenshot inspector of your object in question

[lean burrow]

couldnt figure out debug. but apparently it was an input issue. now it just wont move on anything other than the x axis

[grand snow]

Input is being read into a vector2 which is x,y
To apply force in 3d space you need to make a new vector3 like so:
new Vector3(input.x, 0f, input.y);

remember that z is forward in 3d space

[rich adder]

ohh right thats a rigidbody not rigidbody2d. you trying moving up/down

[lean burrow]

forward/back

[lean burrow]

this was the fix

yeah but in code you sent you put y

thats up down

with gravity also toggled probably why it was not working right either

[pearl thorn]

Hi so I cannot find anything on how to draw a circle like have a DrawCircle function with color i can only find non filled but not filled and eather there is no tutorials for it or i am just stupid could someone please help me?

[grand snow]

Moving with physics can be tricky so use whatever works best for you.
The way to get input doesnt matter so best to learn the new input system.

[golden notch]

is there any read only areas with System.IO stuff?

or can i edit things in the "dataPath" with code?

[rich adder]

use persistentDataPath

[grand snow]

A file being writable (and readable) is down to the OS

[golden notch]

ok

[grand snow]

persistant data path is the best place for putting game/program data in a safe readable and writable folder

streaming assets can be used but only for desktop platforms

[warm iris]

can someone help pls, why isnt this visible here?

[rich adder]

you dragged in a text file instead of the gameobjects component

[warm iris]

oh it has to be a component?

I mean game object

[grand snow]

No you need to add "PlayerMovement" to a game object then drag in THAT

[warm iris]

you mean this?

[grand snow]

that is a component

[golden notch]

do scriptable ojects have to be in the resources folder?

[grand snow]

no

[rich adder]

the gameobject that has the PlayerMovement script on it

you gotta put that in

[opal zodiac]

Yooo

i got inheritance down however im hearing composition is way better. how would yall recommend learning composition

[rich adder]

there is no "better" each has their own use

you can combine them too

[warm iris]

ok yeah I found the function but it doesnt do anything

[opal zodiac]

word, how did you learn composition and in which cases they should be used

[warm iris]

these are my inputs

and the code again

is there a problem with the code?

[rich adder]

its situational lol

every project / goal is different

[grand snow]

You dont need the if because Rotate() is executed when the action is invoked

[warm iris]

oh ok

but still nothing happens

[grand snow]

Did you assign the function in the unity event correctly?

[warm iris]

I think so

[rich adder]

to get an idea watch actual C# / microsoft MVP vids or stackoverflow sometimes, you will see plenty of examples / usescases described

[opal zodiac]

epic

[grand snow]

that is correct. as long as the action is in "Player" map it should work just fine

[warm iris]

any ideas what might be wrong?

[rich adder]

both a piston and a person Move, doesnt mean both should be part of the same heirarchy of parent but may both have the same component that move they can be more "freeform"

[opal zodiac]

Right, kinda like how multiple objects in unity will use Rigidbodies and colliders

[grand snow]

This should probably be "Value" type so you can read the input data but button should still activate once 🤔
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.17/manual/RespondingToActions.html#action-types

[warm iris]

yeah I read the docs, however this is not a basic player movement

this is snake

I only need the input to rotate the snake

so from what I understood, button is the type I need

[grand snow]

yea and how do you plan to know the direction the user pressed?

[rich adder]

kinda, the importance is that you can certainly use both and achieve good results

[warm iris]

well I will just store a variable and whatever button the player will click, that will be the direction

for s it will be down, for d right etc

[grand snow]

no you would have the action give a Vector2 value which you then read and use to know the direction the user wants to move

[warm iris]

oh

why wouldnt my way work tho?

[grand snow]

You have assigned 4 keys for 1 button action
You therefore cannot know what key was pressed

[warm iris]

its impossible to check what button has been clicked?

[grand snow]

the default actions do as i state too

[warm iris]

the code still doesnt work

[grand snow]

Its common for beginners to think "i need to check if A was pressed to go left" but reading 2 dimensional input as a Vector2 makes more sense and is more useful

Your action maps some keys OR a joystick to a 2d input (ideally)

[warm iris]

oh ok

but the code still doesnt work

[grand snow]

id just follow the quickstart guide: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.17/manual/QuickStartGuide.html
I dont know what else you have done

[golden notch]

in javascript there is a promise.all that waits for all of the async tasks to get done before code is triggered. Is there anything like that in C#?

[rich adder]

Task class

[grand snow]

UniTask offers such a function as well as Task
Do not use Task in unity

[golden notch]

looked it up Task.whenall

unitask?

[grand snow]

use unitask: https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask

Its the best Task replacement suited for unity
Awaitable (from unity) is missing many features that Task has.

[golden notch]

is it in the package maager?

[rich adder]

sadly awaitable misses that one too.. only cases I found it useful was await some unity event or convinently switching thread to main

[grand snow]

NO

you can add it as a package which is explained on the unitask github page

@golden notch

[rich adder]

ohh

[grand snow]

no one reads anything anymore 😐

[golden notch]

it' not in the package list

[grand snow]

READ THE PAGE

[rich adder]

just used to Clicking "releases" and downloading stuff

[grand snow]

https://github.com/Cysharp/UniTask?tab=readme-ov-file#install-via-git-url

anyway use that or not 🤷‍♂️

[golden notch]

it's way at the bottom

[grand snow]

good observation

a third party package wont be in the unity registry list will it?

[grand snow]

the main readme covers the main features including UniTask.WhenAll()

[golden notch]

well... i'm a bit stuck. I can get all the filepaths in a folder, but connecting that to an addressable istead of Resource.Load is tricky

these are scriptable objects

[frigid swift]

how can i call the sprite manager and change the color to these blocks in the array

[rich adder]

sprite manager?

[frigid swift]

ok better explanation, im trying to make a system that selects one of these squares at random via an array, how do i access and modify the selected block's sprite manager via that

[frigid swift]

2d project yes

oh wait

spritr renderer i mean

[grand snow]

with addressables you use addresses which can be anything so thinking this way is wrong
you can however use labels (tags) in addressables to easily load many assets in one go (e.g. tag many things "ItemIcon")

[golden notch]

if i do tag them, do i have to change all the adressses to somethign shorter?

[rich adder]

declare a SpriteRenderer component and name it, (make sure its assigned) use that variable to change color as needed

[grand snow]

Up to you. Right click them in the groups window to use the auto simplify option.

[golden notch]

wait it simplifies the names not the adresses. do we touch the path at all?

[grand snow]

It simplifies the addresses

The address does not have to match the asset name

[frigid swift]

i know how to call it i just dont know how to get the specific chosen block in the array to change color

the set active script was just me debugging btw lol

[grand snow]

store the sprite renderer in a variable and then modify its colour?

[golden notch]

do we change these at all? or keep them long?

[grand snow]

thats the asset path, its showing you this information so you know what asset this is 😐

[frigid swift]

would this work?

[golden notch]

oh, i thought it meant you could shorten that to get "addressables"

[rich adder]

if the squares are rooms, yes

[frigid swift]

yeah they are all in the rooms array

[rich adder]

if you Room is its own component you can also just make a public get property for the renderer

[grand snow]

lets step back. when you first make an asset addressable it usually sets the address to be the asset name
e.g. Assets/foobar => "foobar"

i can then change the address to be whatever i want such as "coolbeans123". I can use this address to load Assets/foobar still.
The menu option I told you about just automates making addresses shorter e.g. removing folders from the address.

#📦┃addressables

[golden notch]

oh yeah i forgot there's a channel for them

[grand snow]

Yes but dont you want to then do something to that sprite renderer after?

SpriteRenderer renderer = thing.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
renderer.color = someColor;

[golden notch]

what?

[grand snow]

if using asm defs you need to add the reference to unitask

well made packages/plugins actually use them

[frigid swift]

i dont see how thats calling the squares and not just itself, this isnt the code inside of one of the squares.

[grand snow]

I have no idea what that means

is rooms[currentRoom] not getting the desired room?

I cant read your mind

[frigid swift]

ok yeah its getting the right thing but im not completely sure what you mean by this

[golden notch]

i had to restart visual studio

[grand snow]

then perhaps learning more about c# is what you need

[frigid swift]

man im trying 💔

[grand snow]

thats okay, we all have to learn! I suggest this because its a critical concept to programming to understand getting an object reference and doing something to that (e.g. get some thing and modify a property on that)

SpriteRenderer[] boxes;

boxes[Random.Range(0, boxes.Length)].color = Color.red;

[sour palm]

hay I'm just having an issue with my Input GetkeyDown. Despite all the prerequisites being true its vary finicky and rarely responds.

[rich adder]

eh depends how you call ledgeGrab, and how set IsInAir / isLedge

[sour palm]

well I call it in the update and IsInAir / isLedge are just simple bools.

[rich adder]

I get that they're bools, but I mentioned how you set them not what they are

if its in Update it should respond fine, the only other two that can affect is the other two bools

all the prerequisites being true
how are you debugging this, and how about their durations etc.
Rare its something itself wrong with GetKeyDown

KeyDown isn't held so you need to press it and only triggers if all three are true in the same frame

[sour palm]

I have some the bools public and some text that runs. but I think at least from my debugging its the GetKeyDown.

I did some testing it with out the requirements and its still funky.

[rich adder]

tested in what way ?

[sour palm]

removed the requirements then ran it.

[rich adder]

so whats wrong with it

[sour palm]

still doesn't reliably respond well.

[hearty junco]

So i downloaded Visual Studio Community, but still can't link it with Unity, any advise?

[rich adder]

follow the rest of the steps

[verbal dome]

Where do you call ledgeGrab from?
Oh nvm you said update

[hearty junco]

I did, the file doesn't show up

[rich adder]

how do you even determine that if its only logs, did you even uncollapse them ?

[rich adder]

did you restart unity

[sour palm]

pressing it like 20 times and seeing if it responds.

[hearty junco]

Yes, i restarted that, and then restarted my PC too

[rich adder]

show you have the workload installed

[rich adder]

so you don't got 20 logs?

[sour palm]

nope.

[rich adder]

how many

[hearty junco]

What does that mean?

[sour palm]

1 - 4 sometimes 16 if I hit it more than 20 times

[rich adder]

the Unity workload?

it was part of the steps

[sleek palm]

@hearty junco Can you help me

[hearty junco]

With?

[sleek palm]

I'm trying to do when I click D it moves the block but it's saying this

[hearty junco]

Sorry i am in the same boat as you i amen't one of the helpers

I'm 2 days into using Unity lol

[rich adder]

!input

[radiant void]

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.

[sour palm]

ok I'm going to try and restart unity @rich adder

[rich adder]

doubt thats related

[rich adder]

you dont have to spam the same photo and you yet again cropped the part that shows if its installed or which size it is

[sleek palm]

Nav where do I find project settings

[sour palm]

I tried making a new one and it also had issues so this is my best guess.

[hearty junco]

merry christmas, 1 more time to add to the spam

[rich adder]

next you need to check the Visual Studio package is installed in the unity package manager

[rich adder]

I doubt its GetKey. Are you sure your editor isn't lagging or something

check the fps counter stats

[hallow rock]

anyone know if this is correct to remove READ_PHONE_STATE

[rich adder]

#📱┃mobile

[hallow rock]

this is related to a VR Game sir.

[rich adder]

so then #🥽┃virtual-reality

[hallow rock]

arl

cheers

[rich adder]

though android permissions is still mobile 🤷‍♂️

[hallow rock]

yeah idk why its asking

you think i should reset my project?

[sour palm]

were would that be?

[hallow rock]

to a compatiable VR.

[rich adder]

try the VR template by itself first ig

[hallow rock]

Ill show y

you

[rich adder]

where it says stats in the game view

[rich adder]

I know nothing of VR Development

[hallow rock]

thats arlight man, weird its giving me a permission error over a VR Game...

[rich adder]

where did you see you need to set those permissions

[sour palm]

somewhere between 400.0 - 500.0

[rich adder]

maybe your keyboard is broken lol

[sour palm]

ya no.

[hallow rock]

this is the error, The upload could not be completed because your application contains the following Android permissions that are not supported: - android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE Please remove the following permissions and upload your application binary again.

[rich adder]

so you removed it? seems to still be in the file

[hallow rock]

yeah, im gonna try to important into a project with Oculus crap in it.

[hallow rock]

where would it be in the file? in the manifest?

[rich adder]

seems to be there but again I havent made anything for an oculus/uploaded, maybe you should check their docs for mention of this

[hallow rock]

thank you for trying tho,

[hallow rock]

do i set permissions in the manifest or in player settings?

[rich adder]

If I recall unity does it for you in project settings unless you need something specific

[hallow rock]

perfect! any area you see that at?

like more specific

if not ill keep looking,

[rich adder]

Maybe under Player somewhere

[hallow rock]

yeah im in player for via android

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/android-permissions-in-unity.html

[hearty junco]

very strange, no add option on the installs, and the editor cant validate on install

[rich adder]

did you use hub to install them

[hallow rock]

i might be blind.

lol

[rich adder]

that answers nothing..

[hearty junco]

after trying to code for the first time, i feel ya

[rich adder]

just cause hub detects them doesn't mean they were installed through hub therefore adding modules isn't option

[hearty junco]

i installed the visual studio from microsoft

[hallow rock]

just a manifest error, it's just blinding to see these permissions.

and then when i finally fix it, ima gonna be like. "this only took that long to see it"

so yeah

[rich adder]

did you click the link
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/android-permissions-declare.html
here says how to do it

[hallow rock]

i did, wants me to download a studio. AKA, android studio

[rich adder]

yes

thats how you modify it proper so unity doesn't add its own permissions

before build

[hallow rock]

awesome. sorry, my PC freezes alot, so it may take long to type stuff.

idk why

[rich adder]

here found this article
https://www.stornaway.io/tech-tip-when-meta-quest-developer-hub-objects-to-android-permission-read_phone_state/

[hallow rock]

i see, visual studio wont let me look at the permissions

[rich adder]

when you export project you do external so it can be finalized in android studio

[hallow rock]

1.3 gigs more to burn my PC in half

[rich adder]

ehh its worth it if it helps you get something done

[hallow rock]

do i need virtual device? or should i just move on,

[hallow rock]

very true man.

anything to get this to work.

[rich adder]

thats only if you want ability to test them in virtual environments

doubt you need it for vr

[hallow rock]

yeah no.

[sleek palm]

Anyone know how to use the new Unity input system I don't know what I'm doing wrong

[rich adder]

thats not new input system

there are several tutorials pinned in #🖱️┃input-system and resources online

[rocky canyon]

also dont grab input from fixedupdate

[rich adder]

also you should not use deltaTime on addforce

that 500 is very high because of deltaTime

[sleek palm]

How else do I fix the framrate update thing

Didn't mean to reply to that

[rich adder]

frameRate thing ?

[rocky canyon]

addforce happens in FixedUpdate.. its a fixed timestep.. u dont need to scale or multiply it w/ any time variable

[hallow rock]

how do you export the file again?

[rich adder]

I linked the docs for it you just have to read it a bit, and click the links

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/android-export-process.html

[hallow rock]

mb, closed all my sites to let this download quicker

[soft delta]

Hello, i have this issue with a UI Canvas that i created, where whenever i try to scroll, a "ghost" layer of the texts i added appears. The way i append the text is with the function HandleNewMessage()

[old karma]

small question, Unity's Sprite atlass can help against stuttering when new sprites loads up in a scene for the first time, right?

[hallow rock]

hello. which one?

[golden notch]

I had to add the selected line and it's still disabled, what is happening here?

it's only doing that in the handbook UI GO, nowhere else

[ivory bobcat]

You're enabling a component but are showing a inactive game object

To set an object active or inactive, use Set Active

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/GameObject.SetActive.html

[golden notch]

my bad, why is it disabled though? the source copyslot prefab is not disabled

[ivory bobcat]

How are you determining this? The image you've shown only shows an inactive object

[golden notch]

wait why is it disabled now?

[ivory bobcat]

Reminder that enabled/disabled is a term used for components (illustrated in the inspector). Active/inactive would be the term used for Game Objects (illustrated in the hierarchy). If we're using different terminology, I'll not be able to help you due to potential misunderstandings.

[golden notch]

yeah i changed it to active now islot.gameObject.SetActive(true);

why do i have to do that to begin with? the prefab it copies from isn't inactive.

wait

why is it inactive i ust changed it

[ivory bobcat]

I've got no clue what you're talking about or have changed. Post your updated code, an image of the prefab, the hierarchy, inspectors and any other necessary information.

[golden notch]

prefab

i enabled it and clicked save and then wen back to it and it's disabled again

[ivory bobcat]

The parent is inactive...

[golden notch]

what the what? why can't i enable it?

[rich adder]

prefab literally not active

[ivory bobcat]

Set the slot game object active

[golden notch]

the parent is inactive and grayed out

[rich adder]

the parent is temporary to display UI element

its going based of the UI child in this case

[golden notch]

it won't stay active when i set it

[rich adder]

unpack the prefab, keep it active and make a new one

[golden notch]

that fixed it

and it's doing it again

and now it's affecting my other stuff

[golden notch]

it's affecting other places now

(still just the slot prefab)

[stray fog]

Hey question,
I have a biom generator that paints the trees with a prefab that has capsule collider. I have written a few classes to recognise the tree infront of me from the terraindata tree and allow me to chop it. When chopped it down, I remove it from the terrain data but the collider still remains. What's the actual solution? I'm debating about doing a proximity check and whatever tree is in x radius, convert it to game object but I worry about performance and there must be a better solution no? Or track where the trees are and create empty game objects with colliders on their position and delete them as I go idk

[golden notch]

ok completly made a new file, keeping the old one

[potent garnet]

Can someone help me with a program? I'm trying to create a script that rotates the player towards your mouse position.

I've created multiple renditions so far and this is my current one:

This is in a 3D space but the camera simulates a 2D space (top town orthographic)

[golden notch]

ok so i figured out the issue, i was disabling the copyslot at the beginning of my code to remove the duplicate slot that i left there, and it suddenly started deleting it for ALL slots.

[rancid marlin]

hi all, i need some help understanding a hierarchical state machine.

1. at any one point, there is only one active leaf right?
2. does that mean that all states in the path from the root to that active leaf run its state logic? or only the leaf runs its state logic?
3. what is the flow of checking for transitions? on every tick, does the checking order go from root -> child of active path -> down to active leaf? or from the active leaf -> up to the root?

[naive pawn]

how exactly isn't it working?

[teal viper]

1. Generally, yes, state machine implies only one state active at a time. In HSM you can consider the whole branch as being one state.
2. Generally, yes.
3. Yes, but it's an implementation detail.

Programming patterns are just general guidelines. You don't have to follow them to a tee. In fact you often need to adjust and bend the rules to the needs of your project.

For example, you might want to keep the leaf state active regardless of the conditions of their parents, so you wouldn't check from the root.

[sinful zinc]

if i am making a leaderboard
is it better to enable it on tab down, disable on tab up or
enable when tab is pressed down, then else statement that disables

or doesnt matter

[naive pawn]

whichever works for you.
toggle or hold can both work, but one might work better depending on the pace of your game or the context that it's in
you could also make it configurable, like what minecraft does with sneaking/sprinting

try both, see which feels better to use

[sinful zinc]

the logic is the exact same

right

i mean

        {
            scoreboardUI.SetActive(true);
        }
        if (Input.GetKeyUp(KeyCode.Tab))
        {
            scoreboardUI.SetActive(false);
        }```

or

{
  scoreboardUI.SetActive(true);
}
else{..disable}```

[naive pawn]

i thought you were talking about toggle vs hold

do the former so you don't constantly activate/deactivate it

[hallow rock]

didnt actually need to use android studio, thank you again for the help.

[naive pawn]

why would you need android studio for doing stuff in unity

[soft delta]

If someone can help me with this that would be really helpful, or should I send this to another channel?

[naive pawn]

seems like a #📲┃ui-ux question

[soft delta]

Ty

[smoky raven]

Dunno if i said this earlier but thanks cuz i managed to fix the dash script by doing this. Pseudocoding is kinda hard to do tho since I'm still not used to coding 🙏

But still thanks this helps so much

[smoky raven]

I had to rewrite the whole thing but it took me a short amount of time compared to last time 😭

[sinful zinc]

what does this mean?

[keen dew]

You have an invalid JSON file

[naive pawn]

have you tampered with that file?

[sinful zinc]

no i have no idea what it is

i dont know what it does

it lists all my packages

[naive pawn]

it's a lock file, specifying which exact version and url were used

you could maybe try having it regenerate?
close unity, pull that file out to some other folder (don't delete it just in case), then reopen unity
if it doesn't work, try that but also delete the library folder

[sinful zinc]

do u know what causes this eror

is it from merge conflicts?

[naive pawn]

potentially, maybe

[sinful zinc]

willl it affect any of my packages if i leave the error there

[naive pawn]

most likely

[sinful zinc]

does this mean anything or should i just delete library folder

[naive pawn]

it means it didn't work i guess

yeah try a library reset

[sinful zinc]

i am still gettin the same errors

if i remove the linux modules will this go away

[undone wave]

I'm currently making a level editor, and trying to implement certain editor fields that only appear when another field is set to a specific value
(For example, the float field "Homing Speed" should appear only when the bool field "Homing" is set to true (Enabled))
How would I implement this "condition"?

This is the current implementation I have:

public class EditorField
{
    public string name;
    public System.Type type; // this is used to define what type of UI element will be used for the field (radio button, text field, etc.)
    public List<Condition> conditions; // every condition within this list must be met for the EditorField to appear, altho idk if i'll ever use more than two conditions at the same time, just made a list out of habit

    public EditorField(string name, System.Type type, List<Condition> conditions)
    {
        this.name = name;
        this.type = type;
        this.conditions = conditions;
    }
}

public class Condition
{
    public object field; // the field whose value must be checked, I don't know if this works for value-type variables, probably doesn't
    public object value; // the value the field must have in order for the associated EditorField to appear, should probably be expanded to a list to allow for multiple values when dealing with enums
}```

[naive pawn]

i believe that would go in #↕️┃editor-extensions

[naive pawn]

to confirm, you deleted the library while unity was closed, and then let it rebuild, correct?

[sinful zinc]

yes

by the way, is there a way to remove a module from a unity version without having to reinstall the version?

[crystal shell]

Oh my days. NO way I didn't see that! Thank you so so so much!

very funny when unity puts template grid gizmo in offset and you dont know how to fix it

[swift crag]

i'm not sure what you're referring to

can you screenshot this?

[elfin pike]

why they dont give option to offset gizmo or they do it automaticly

[swift crag]

i'm not sure what I'm looking at

is there a box collider here?

or is that a tilemap grid

[elfin pike]

its tilemap editing

[rigid swallow]

Im following a tutorial right now and they are suggesting that I make a variable that should be accessible by other scripts accessible through getters and setters for cleaner code, but to me it just seems like making a public variable with extra steps. Is there something im missing?

[wintry quarry]

In this case yes it's not adding anything. But it's good practice because in the future you can add things to that getter or setter

[polar acorn]

You now have the ability to run any sort of code you want whenever that variable is accessed or changed.

For example, whenever the state changes, it could first run some sort of "exit state" code on the old one automatically

[wintry quarry]

Often you will do some validation or perhaps fire off events or something in the setter

[rigid swallow]

ok i see

thank you both

[grand snow]

Confirm you have an event system please and if the component has a warning read it and press the button to fix it

Guys, I’m installing Unity 6.3 LTS via Unity Hub, but I only see Visual Studio Community 2022 as a dev tool. There is no Visual Studio Code option. What I need to do?

[solar hill]

!ide

[radiant void]

💡 IDE Configuration

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

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code
• JetBrains Rider
• :question: Other/None

[naive pawn]

if you want to use vsc, just uncheck the VS install and download vsc separately

[solar hill]

Oh they dont have vs code installed at all?

My bad i missunderstood

[steady sand]

Like this?

[frail hawk]

seems like you already installed vs code and selected it already as your IDE

[steady sand]

I selected now

[frail hawk]

make sure to configure it correctly so you get intellisense function

[steady sand]

whats "intellisense function" means

[frail hawk]

code auto complete and code suggestions

[steady sand]

oh ok btw how can I start to code

[frail hawk]

by creating a new script monobehaviour then double clicking so it opens up in vs code

[steady sand]

Oayk I understand. Thanks for everything

[frail hawk]

it is funny how people let ai do the job but when the ai is not able to solve a thing they come and ask here

[versed fjord]

So you would prefer that people dont take any effort in solving the problems themselves and immediately ask here?

[frail hawk]

i am saying beginners shoudl avoid using ai too much

it is clear they could not solve something really simple

[versed fjord]

If someone builds something and solves real problems, they will face major issues even with AI. Thats when they learn it. Used to be google, now its AI. You also suggest beginners not to use google?

[frail hawk]

i am not going to argue with you because you clearly ignore what i said

programming begginers shoudl avoid using ai generated code, for you

[versed fjord]

Also its about how you use AI. If you use AI and just want it to solve your problems, then you wont succeed in any way. If you use AI to mindstorm how to tackle issues(without it actually fixing it) AND actually think for yourself and critisize what AI answers you, then you might have a chance.

[slender nymph]

now explain how someone who doesn't know what they are doing is going to criticize the AI's output.
beginners need to be doing their own research and not relying on the output from something that just predicts what the next text should be without any critical thought

[versed fjord]

You got that point. You need to do the research anyway. You could compare what AI says with other sources and then make up your mind

[slender nymph]

or, just do the research in the first place and skip the redundant step where the gets-things-wrong machine tells you something wrong and you have to research it anyway
