Personally, I think it's more embarrassing to misinterpret a bunch of clear-cut words rather than a video I watched while half-awake. You've not only not payed attention to what I was asking for in the first place but never listened to what I was saying throughout the conversation. That includes what I was mentioning with tutorials and my initial statement of wanting it to slow down to a stop and not immediately stop moving.

[polar acorn]

I literally answered your question. I told you exactly what you need to do to fix it.
#💻┃code-beginner message

But it seems you never read it.

[upper pebble]

Forward it

[polar acorn]

...I just did

Again. Not reading what I write

[upper pebble]

My bad, not what I'm used to seeing when someone forwards something

[upper pebble]

Nice assumption

[polar acorn]

Based on data

[upper pebble]

BTW I did see that AS I STATED AFTERWARDS and I've been working with it (though not that much considering how I've mostly been typing here)

So again, you didn't read what I typed

Here's evidence :D

And this is what I was referencing by "not what I'm used to seeing when someone forwards something"

[tulip herald]

Ummm @upper pebble MoveTowards(A,B) and Lerp(A,B) will move value A to B over a certain amount of time I hope this helps lol

Let's say you wanted to "slow down" once you release a button you could use one of those methods to change the value over time
E

[grand snow]

lerp abuse detected

[cosmic dagger]

I'd go with MoveTowards over Lerp . . .

[upper pebble]

I already fixed the issue (It had absolutely nothing to do with what they mentioned)

[naive pawn]

jeez wth happened here

[upper pebble]

incompetent people who can't read or understand what I needed

[naive pawn]

alright, let's tone that down.

[tulip herald]

Yeah it can be like that VCBraindamage I apologize don't let this situation deter you from making great games brother

[upper pebble]

Sorry, it was a bit uncalled for but they were incredibly unhelpful

[upper pebble]

Don't worry, the people in the C# discord helped me with the issue afterwards and I got it resolved

[tulip herald]

That's good bro

[naive pawn]

i get that they didn't manage to help you in this case, but they are trying to help. the overall advice they gave is valid, specifically the point that trial and error generally isn't a great method of learning compared to reading and understanding to begin with

[tulip herald]

Let's just move on from the situation

He said he got it solved

[upper pebble]

Yes

[naive pawn]

i'm seeing this as a learning opportunity tbh

the loop does continuously subtract 0.5, the problem is just that it does it all at once, and unity already has loops for doing stuff over time - Update/FixedUpdate

[upper pebble]

It's definitely easier to understand the way you said it. They may have mentioned that somewhere in the mess of text above but I clearly didn't see it or understand it

[naive pawn]

also btw, you can totally use tutorials that still use the old input system. the core logic will still be the same, you just change the input. the old system has been around for a long time, so a lot of tutorials will be using it

[upper pebble]

I usually don't use them because it can be a little confusing at times and the ones I did follow regardless ended up not having what I needed or were fundamentally flawed

One used some random movement system that caused collision bugs with hitboxes and had no easy fix

[naive pawn]

digi tried to get at it here, and they specifically mentioned a part in your code where you're already doing it correctly #💻┃code-beginner message

[upper pebble]

They were actually wrong about that part when I tried it

[naive pawn]

and you didn't reply to it, so digi probably assumed you missed it, hence why they linked to it again

[naive pawn]

they're correct afaict.
do..while on its own is a loop with a condition
Update is already a loop, so you just need to add a condition

[upper pebble]

Fair enough on that part, but it still doesn't excuse how they ignored my originial intention that I stated several times

[naive pawn]

#💻┃code-beginner message are you referring to this?

[upper pebble]

No. Sorry for not clarifying. It was me mentioning that I wanted to slow the movement down to zero rather than making it a sharp stop

[naive pawn]

that's what digi's solution would do

[tulip herald]

Yeah that's why I mentioned the moveTowards() yeah lol

[naive pawn]

if the velocity is currently non-zero, and the corresponding key isn't being pressed, reduce the velocity by a bit. keep doing that every frame. if it's 0, stop reducing it

[upper pebble]

Except it didn't. What's ironic is I managed to fix the issue by changing the linear dampening which I don't believe they ever mentioned. It definitely didn't help that they kept spacing out their answers and spamming different results which was wildly confusing

[naive pawn]

though yeah, movetowards would help you not overshoot and then get an oscillating/jittering effect if you end up at like, 0.25 -> -0.25 -> 0.25 etc

[tulip herald]

That's good VC

[naive pawn]

this is pretty much the same logic that lineardamping does, man

lineardamping is proportional to the current velocity, and that's about the only difference

[tulip herald]

If you found a solution that's good there's 1 million ways to achieve the same effect but as long as work as desired then good job!

The hardest part of game development programming isn't the programming but understanding geometry and algebra is what I find most confusing

[naive pawn]

although yeah, this absolute modification on each axis would mean diagonal damping would be a little wonky. you'd want to modify the entire vector anyways

[naive pawn]

anyways, using and understanding conditions within unity's message loops is a pretty significant piece of knowledge. you can get more use out of that knowledge in the future if you want.

ultimately, that's what we're trying to do - to help you learn, not just get a solution

[upper pebble]

I get that, but if you're going to try to explain something to an absolute beginner, you need to be clear and guide them at least a little. You did a great job of that. They did not.

[naive pawn]

we don't know how much you know or what you don't know
as an outside observer, it was obvious to me that you hadn't heard the analogy of unity's messages already being loops before. but that's not always obvious when you're actively in the discussion

[upper pebble]

I have been in this channel before and I have clarified to them that I am an absolute beginner

[naive pawn]

"absolute beginner" can mean a lot of things

and to be honest, "i've been in this channel before" doesn't mean much. i know ive seen you before, i recall your username. but i recall absolutely no info about your skill level

[upper pebble]

You're right, but it does also represent that I am extremely new and not that knowledgeable

[naive pawn]

so does that mean we should explain what mono behaviors mean or what files are? obviously no, right?

we see you're using those concepts already

and you are also using the concept of FixedUpdate as a loop with the ifs for your movement

[tulip herald]

It's all good guys

We should just move on

[naive pawn]

man i'm not trying to argue here... i'm trying to make it easier to get help by pointing out where the gaps in assumption were

[upper pebble]

No, that would mean that supposed person would need to go do some foundational tutorials. I had already clarified that I had done some tutorials before for movement but they clearly didn't want to listen. My problem comes from losing the information I know because I get lost in what might work due to desperation.

[naive pawn]

right, so like, we don't know if those tutorials explain the concept of Update being a loop.
you're asking us to make an assumption that, while true for you, isn't true for everyone

or maybe they do and you've missed that - there's a lot of possibilities

[upper pebble]

I'll definitely be working on some other things to get a better idea of how to do things such as movement and get a better idea of what I could do in the future. At the same time, when I ask for help on something, I don't want to be told to do more tutorials or look at the manual when that isn't going to help me with my issue. The people beforehand clearly could not understand that concept and that is how the argument started.

[naive pawn]

ah wait, wrong direction. maybe they do and you already know, but you aren't applying that

[upper pebble]

I am going to deeply thank you for that analogy

[naive pawn]

in that case, a little nudge would be sufficient, but it'd still let the asker figure it out from what they know

(just trying to explain what digi mightve been going for)

[upper pebble]

I'd say the reason why I was putting so many loops in the update "loop" was because it's what I've seen in most- if not all tutorials I have looked at. You could likely chalk that up to force of habit but that IS why I fiddle around like this. They call it a monkey on a typewriter but it gives more clarity into what the issue is rather than finding a niche tutorial that just tells you not to

[naive pawn]

good tutorials will explain why, just like i've done here

[slender nymph]

i'm not going to participate in the ongoing discussion, but i would also like to point out that if you do not understand something that someone has said, then you need to ask concrete clarifying questions and not just immediately dismiss what was said or ask something incredibly vague, or even worse, get mad at the responder

[upper pebble]

If you have a Youtuber that has those tutorials I'd appreciate that as a reference

[naive pawn]

though, it is harder to figure out which tutorials are good or bad, as a learner, so i see how that might be easier said than done

[naive pawn]

i haven't really used any, so i can't recommend from experience, sorry.

(though there a few very popular channels that prescribe some not great practices, though i don't recall which exactly)

[upper pebble]

I definitely got a bit out of hand earlier but if they had any idea what they were talking about they wouldn't have kept ignoring what I was asking for and telling me to go look at more meaningless tutorials.

[upper pebble]

That's another problem I have with some of these tutorials. Many of the ones I need are niche and made by small Youtubers which, as I mentioned before, have questionable solutions that end up being buggy, unfixable messes.

[naive pawn]

oftentimes when someone is missing a core concept, tutorials can help a lot because they can supply multiple core concepts that might also be missing. answering every core concept question does get tiring, and it's why those resources exist
but yeah, what i mentioned isn't exactly a core concept, more of something to internalize, so average tutorials probably wouldn't explain it directly

[teal viper]

I'd really love to see those tutorials that use loops in update.

[naive pawn]

it could be that your search queries are too general or too specific, but it's hard to say without more specific info. sometimes that's just the case 😔

[cosmic dagger]

i can't really get upset with a tutorial. whether good or bad, they made it to teach or help someone. some good, some bad, and some ugly; but that's why i recommend watching a few covering the same topic. you—hopefully—get a better grasp of the concept. it's seldom you find one that does everything you're asking for . . .

[eager stratus]

Ok, how am I supposed to handle an event where I mouse over an object in a 3d scene? It has a collider and neither OnMouseEnter or OnPointerEnter work.

[slender nymph]

for OnMouseEnter you must be using the old Input Manager rather than the Input System. for OnPointerEnter the component needs to have the IPointerEnterHandler interface where that method comes from and you need an EventSystem in the scene and a Physics Raycaster component on the camera

[eager stratus]

I was missing the event system

[red rover]

I’m losing my mind, do colliders have a characteristic where they don’t register by ray casts on the first frame they exist or something?

[slender nymph]

colliders aren't updated until the physics step which only happens on FixedUpdate frames. you can call Physics.SyncTransforms (or the 2d equivalent if in 2d) to force them to update immediately

[sour fulcrum]

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

[red rover]

Oh my god that was rhetorical, if this fixes my problem…

[sour fulcrum]

😛

Since technically it’s not their first full frame

[red rover]

THAT FIXED IT 😭😭😭

Thank you sm @sour fulcrum @slender nymph

[sudden cypress]

hey guys anyone here knows how to code a floating point vector system where game world adjusts to player position

cause of scale

[teal viper]

Floating origin you mean? Did you try googling? This is not some common knowledge algorithm, but the idea is that you need to get the offset of your camera or character to the origin, then shift everything in the world by the negative of that offset.

[sudden cypress]

yes so far i have come to the conclusion to do it periodically

based on distance

so as to not have much errors or anything

otherwise im locked in a very tiny space to work with

[teal viper]

You can easily have some 10km world without any issues though

[sudden cypress]

so what you mean is , find offset that is , if my character is 1k away from origin , i shift player to 0 and i shift the whole world to -1k

right

[sudden cypress]

its just an empty space XD

[teal viper]

No need to shift the player separately. It's part of the world, so it should be shifted along with it.

[sudden cypress]

ah at the same time , just to move the whole world box then

i mean , all the objects with the player

[teal viper]

Yes

Basically.

It's not as simple on practice though. Moving physics objects could cause issues. And some other systems as well

Youd need some extra setup for such objects.

[sudden cypress]

ye gotta work on that , maybe make it so the screen refreshes instantly so player cant notice maybe

[lilac coral]

hi i dont know how to explain it but im following a tutorial as a beginer but in the tutorial his thing code is coloured and shows up mine is not

if ur using vs do u have the unity integration installed

u can check on the installer

here?

[bleak bay]

I was thinking on the ide installer, not unity hub

but I suppose that helps too

[lilac coral]

😭

[bleak bay]

when you go to the installer theres the installed versions, the first button on the right (I think its modify? unsure) lets you update to include depedencies and one of them is unity

that is a compiler error, you need to fix it

configure your ide first, so the ide tells you where the issue is

Hey folks, I had a question about the input system.
If you use the Move inputs, you get a vector2 that can have a value on X, Y or both right ? But what if you only want the player to go only sideways or forward backward ?
Like in the case of a snake game, you don't want to go in a diagonal right ? How do you do that ?

[keen dew]

You have to decide what you want to happen when the player presses both directions at the same time and then do that

[livid anchor]

So you arbitrarily decide on a rule when both keys are pressed ?

[bleak bay]

yes

[keen dew]

It's your game, you get to decide how it works

[livid anchor]

Ok. Then another question, if I make an abstract class inheriting monobehavior, can I make the update method virtual or something to pass on to the children ?

[livid anchor]

{
    Vector2 input = moveInput.action.ReadValue<Vector2>();

    if (input.x > 0 && input.y > 0)
    {
        inputDirection = Vector2.zero;
    }
    else
    {
        inputDirection = input;
    }
}```

Something like that would work for ignoring two directions ?

[keen dew]

Input can be negative so it needs to be !=

[livid anchor]

Ah right

And for the update ? Can I change the method from private to protected and have it inherited ?

[keen dew]

Any OOP things should work as normal

[livid anchor]

Right I can declare update as protected virtual no issue

[cobalt pawn]

Hello everyone. Im pretty much all done with my game, I just have 1 issue that I do not know how to fix at all. When Im playing on PC, the player moves fine, it doesnt collide early? I would say with the tiles but for some reason when I play it on my mobile, it collides with tiles WAYY easier (the videos that I sent explain it better) and I was wondering if anyone knowa why it does that and maybe could help me fix it. https://youtu.be/LKrtJtdku4E

    }

}

what happens is when i jump the timer stops counting down, therefore causing my player to double jump until the playertime variable reaches the number its set to

the variable is currently set to 0.3 seconds, so whats meant to happen is the player is meant to jump higher depending on how long hes holding the jump button

right now that DOES happen but once the player lets go of the key, he can jump again until the value of the timer reaches 0, which isnt supposed to happen, the timer itself is meant to countdown regardless of me holding the button

any ideas?

[rose rock]

hi,

I am making a game where you need to extinguish burning buildings.
every time a building gets burned down, the player loses a heart.
for the loss of hearts, there is a short animation where it ascends.
I succed on that, but it happens a lot that a building gets destroyed while one of the hearts is still being removed.
I added a boolean, IsRemovingHeart, for preventing another building from dying until the heart is completely removed.
It works, but now the last heart will not be removed.

can someone help me?

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

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

[sour adder]

An idea is something like this:

jumpTime -= Time.deltaTime;
if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
{
    if(jumpTime > 0 )
    {
        rb.linearVelocity = new Vector2(rb.linearVelocity.x, jumpPower);
    } 
}
if (Input.GetButtonUp("Jump"))
{
    jumping = false;
    jumpTime = 0;
}

At the very least you can't detect ButtonUp while holding the button down. There are probably other problems as well, think it through.

[sterile path]

maybe my approach is wrong then,ill keep experimenting

does this have to do w unity's new version tho? i tried looking up a solution on yt and they all seem to use my concept

[elfin pike]

Static classes is okay to use? For example, class SavePlayerSession, receives and handles data to save in JSON file

[boreal sonnet]

my player is moving very slowly ? how should i fix it?

[hexed terrace]

yes

[sour adder]

Have you checked: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetButton.html

The button cannot be read as released while it is held down.

[sterile path]

wait its not the same as using keys?

[boreal sonnet]

anyone?

[hexed terrace]

increase the speed

[boreal sonnet]

already did but nothing is happening , this errors shows evrytime

[sour fulcrum]

Thats not related to your player moving slow

i don’t know why you think it would be

[boreal sonnet]

i know its not related to my player but after giving box collider to the tank my player moves slowly and shows error of<input system package>?

[sour fulcrum]

if it’s not related to the player moving ask about that issue

if you have two issues you have two issues

[boreal sonnet]

have you seen this or not?

see the picture i send earlier

[elfin pike]

First of all delete said file and recompile

[hexed terrace]

that screenshot has no relevance to movement speed

[elfin pike]

Can we see movement function?

[boreal sonnet]

ok my mistake ... i fixed the movement issue....

[elfin pike]

What was solution? You are using old input system

[boreal sonnet]

see the error in meta file.

[naive pawn]

that's not really an issue in itself

[boreal sonnet]

yeah

[elfin pike]

Isn't the reason he gets warning?

[naive pawn]

warnings aren't errors

and inputmanager is still perfectly usable

it's the reason for the warning, yes. it's not the reason for the issue that he asked about.

[boreal sonnet]

what to do with the meta file. issue?

[elfin pike]

@boreal sonnet Are you using txt for setting values for tank?

[naive pawn]

did you modify the meta file or anything? (maybe through merges?)
and have you been using the asset for a while, or have you just imported it?

[boreal sonnet]

imported it

i just started this tanks tutorial

i did as they asked

[naive pawn]

given that it's just documentation you could probably just delete the .meta file and have it regenerate

it's probably not being referenced by anything

[boreal sonnet]

but then this error shows up

[boreal sonnet]

ok

[cloud agate]

Can someone explain why this is happening?

    IEnumerator LoadLevelAsync(int sceneIndex)
    {
        PrepareGame();
        SceneManager.LoadScene(sceneIndex, LoadSceneMode.Additive);
        Debug.Log("LOADED SCENE: " + sceneIndex);
    }

    void PrepareGame()
    {
        Debug.Log("Current player is: " + playerPos.position);
        Debug.Log("Player position set to: " + initPlayerPos);
        playerPos.position = initPlayerPos;
    }

PrepareGame sets the player's position to a specific spot
Then Additive load scene happens

So why doesn't it FIRST set the player where they're set to be and instead not do it at all at times?

[twin pivot]

When do you think PrepareGame() runs

[cloud agate]

Before the scene is loaded

(The player is not part of the scene that is loaded)

[wintry quarry]

I'm not sure I understand your question but since you have a CharacterController, setting the transform position directly like that generally won't work unless you disable the CC

I'd guess the scene loading is totally irrelevant

[cloud agate]

Basically when I reload the scene, I make it move the player to the initial position (it's set at start)
That before the next level is loaded and it triggers the collider which calls the win screen (the red switch or anything)

[wintry quarry]

Did you read what I wrote about CharacterController?

[cloud agate]

Yes, I'm just not sure how it works

[wintry quarry]

How what works

[cloud agate]

The charactercontroller

I just move the playerObj with a transform reference

(In this case)

[wintry quarry]

As I mentioned, that doesn't work since you have a CharacterController

I also mentioned how to fix it

[cloud agate]

Yeah trying this right now, just kind of taking too long to respond sorry

(me)

This worked

Thanks a lot

[naive pawn]

why is LoadLevelAsync using the synchronous loading method (and also seems to be an ienumerator that doesn't yield or return anything. i don't think that's valid.)

[devout sluice]

how do I make the jump more snappy? I want to increase the speed when going up
and any other suggestion to improve this?
2nd if statement checks for the linearvelocityY

[stone heron]

usually you would have the jump be extended if you hold the key

often this is done by increasing the gravity after you release jump

[wintry quarry]

to make it snappier you would increase the jumpspeed and potentially increase gravity

[stone heron]

otherwise i would just play with the gravity and jump height until you like it yeah

animations and particle effects also will go a long way here

[devout sluice]

yes thats the next thing Ill try after im satisfied with this
and how do you check for button being released? my first time with unity and Im using the new input system so Ive not been able to find any tutorials

[devout sluice]

increasing the jumpspeed make the jump higher but not faster? why is that?

[slender nymph]

also reset the Y velocity to 0 right before applying any upward force (assuming you are adding force and not just assigning a value to the Y velocity)

[wintry quarry]

It is also faster but FALLING will not be faster unless you increase gravity

[devout sluice]

is adding force better than changing velocity?

[wintry quarry]

they're physically equivalent

the end result of adding force is a change in velocity

[devout sluice]

I want it to be little faster when going up but jumpspeed does not change that

[wintry quarry]

jumpspeed changes exactly that

but you mentioned "snappiness"

and that will only come with increased gravity

[keen dew]

Or make the player character smaller and decrease jump speed

large things jumping higher take longer time

[stone heron]

as a designer like half of what you do is play with values

just play with the jump force, and gravity

if you cant get something u like with those two, then add the jump height control mechanic

[devout sluice]

okay then Ill just play around with it

thanks a lot

[stone heron]

jump force will only increase the height

gravity will increase the overall speed but will decrease the height

[sterile coral]

yo i am trying to make a clickable sprite but its not working and i dont know why this is the script:

[wintry quarry]

OnMouseDown is outdated and doesn't work with the new input system

Instead of OnMouseDown You need:

• A collider2D on the sprite
• A Physics2DRaycaster on your camera
• An EventSystem in the scene

hey guys, question - how would you handle a ceiling collision using a character controller? currently when i just the velocity just keeps me stuck to the ceiling up until it drops down with gravity.

[wintry quarry]

You can use OnControllerColliderHit to detect the collisions and adjust your velocity

[wintry dew]

is it a good idea to make a scriptable object singleton to for example store a list of like 20 prefabs that should be accessible from most scripts?

as i dont need to change the prefabs and as an asset it stays throughout scene changes

[frosty hound]

As in a database? If it works it works. 🤷‍♂️

[wintry dew]

yeah database

i mean i dont really know how else because non-destroy on load singleton gameobjects feels super janky

if theres better methods i wouldnt mind changing

[teal viper]

Why?

[teal viper]

Could use a static class with lazy init.

[naive pawn]

would need to reference assets though

[teal viper]

Load from resources

[naive pawn]

magic strings with lazy loading does not sound fun lol

[teal viper]

Making the best suggestions lol

[wintry dew]

in some scenes i for example dont want certain managers, and i mean i dont necessarily need to see the object in hierarchy if its sole purpose is database

[wintry dew]

yeah thats what i use, resources with singleton scriptable objects

is it like a weird strategy or is it reasonable

[teal viper]

Well, then don't make it a DDOL.

[wintry dew]

data design oriented layer? what is ddol

[teal viper]

Don't destroy on loaf

[wintry dew]

oh ok

[teal viper]

Have a separate database singleton in every scene you need it.

[wintry dew]

wouldnt i have to manually place that object in every scene though

[teal viper]

Then just reassign the static reference.

[wintry dew]

i dont see how a singleton asset isnt just simpler to deal with

[teal viper]

Yep. Or via code at runtime.

[teal viper]

Maybe it is. But you asked what other options there are, so here we are.

[wintry dew]

Its good to know options, but i was wondering if there were options which were better in some sense, does a gameobject allow for more storage or something?

[teal viper]

As Steel said, if it works it works. Don't think too hard.

[wintry dew]

ok that makes sense

[teal viper]

Not really. There would be pros and cons for every solution.

[wintry dew]

If there isnt any blatant drawbacks im not aware of imma keep doing this then lol

[teal viper]

You mentioned loading from resources. That's generally considered bad due to having to deal with manually inputted strings.

Also, poor control of what's getting loaded.

[wintry dew]

Ah i see yeah

strings are definitely a downside

[teal viper]

That being said, it doesn't mean you should stop doing it. It's just one argument against it.

[wintry dew]

With larger scale builds it would definitely be troubling, but im just loading in one single scriptable object from resources which exclusively holds scriptable objects for now

[waxen adder]

Is there some way to get the current state an animator controller is in?

[boreal sonnet]

Is it common or not,...... that my players rotate in a same place while being idle?

[ivory bobcat]

This is the coding channel. It's common if that's what you're making it do.

[boreal sonnet]

i'm not trying to make them rotate while being idle

everytime i move them they rotate...i haven't wrote the code ...it came with the when i downloaded the assets.

[ivory bobcat]

You'll probably want to ask the dev who made the asset or look through their scripts.

[spark ruin]

using UnityEngine;

public class BulletBounce : BulletModifier
{
    public int maxBounces;
    public float damageOnBounce;

    private int currentBounces = 0;
    private bool justBounced = false;

    public BulletBounce(int maxBounces = 3, float bounceImpactDamage = 5f)
    {
        this.maxBounces = maxBounces;
        this.damageOnBounce = bounceImpactDamage;
    }

    public override void OnCollision(Collision collision)
    {
        if (currentBounces >= maxBounces)
            return;

        // Ignore enemies
        if (collision.gameObject.GetComponent<IDamageable>() != null)
            return;

        currentBounces++;
        justBounced = true;

        Vector3 incomingVelocity = projectile.GetVelocity();
        Debug.Log($"BulletBounce: Incoming velocity: {incomingVelocity}"); //Usually something like ( +/-0.50, 0.00, 0.00)
                                                                           //on a straight wall shot perpendicularly

        Vector3 surfaceNormal = collision.contacts[0].normal;

        Vector3 reflectedVelocity = Vector3.Reflect(incomingVelocity, surfaceNormal);


        projectile.SetVelocity(reflectedVelocity.normalized * incomingVelocity.magnitude);

        projectile.transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(reflectedVelocity);
    }

    public override bool ShouldDestroy()
    {
        if (justBounced)
        {
            justBounced = false;
            return false;
        }

        return currentBounces >= maxBounces;
    }
}
``` So basically i'm making a top down 3D shooter and I encounter this problem, when my bullet hits a wall the bullet seems to "stick" to it and slide along the wall, It also decreases the magnitude to really small values so the bullet does not keep any momentum. Bellow are the rigidbody values

If anyone knows what's happening your help would be greatly appreciated

[spark ruin]

Mb I fixed it, it was the physics material that had friction set to to a value above 0

Unity is so bad

[leaden lion]

Hi

[chrome apex]

do people really not like using switch-based state machines?

[leaden lion]

Is there a really easy way I can create my own Discord nuke bot? I don't want to nuke any servers with it, I just want to know for myself that I've accomplished something like this. That's one of my goals, simply to create such a bot, but I don't intend any harm with it.

How can I create such a bot without programming knowledge?

[fickle plume]

This is a Unity server and there's no off-topic here.

[naive pawn]

1. get programming knowledge

[naive pawn]

why do you say that?

[chrome apex]

I've heard people say that online. Might be true for many states and/or combination of states, but there's no reason it shouldn't be used if the cases are simple and there's like 5 of them, right?

[naive pawn]

generally if you want to validate or question a claim, you have to provide the context and reasons given for said claim

[hexed terrace]

The use of them will depend, yes, if you're going to have a thousand states.. a switch is not gonna cut it, it's not scalable or maintainable. If you're gonna have 10 states.. then, sure, go for it.

[naive pawn]

otherwise we're just disputing some random statement that probably isn't even the original claim

[steady horizon]

Hey, i want to make a hypercasual game where i drag my finger from one 3dobject, it spawns an obirope from that object and then i let it go over another 3dobject, the rope will attach to that one. I can't wrap my head around the steps i would need to go through to make a prototype of this

Can someone help me break this problem down

I come from godot. Is it normal to attach a lot of scripts to an object as components

I dont know what the good practices in unity programming are

[hexed terrace]

Depending on what you count as "a lot" ... yes

[steady horizon]

Like 5-10

[hexed terrace]

not a problem

[steady horizon]

Because you can only attach 1 script to another node in godot

[hexed terrace]

once it starts becomming unmanagable (too much scrolling/ etc) then would be a good time to look at splitting it up

[steady horizon]

I see

Could you help me figure out the logic for my game

The click to drag sort of thing

[hexed terrace]

tapping first object -> spawn obirope and assign tapped location to end of rope -> assign draggin pos to other end -> update drag pos -> check for 3d object on touch end -> assign new pos to rope end OR dangle/destroy it

[steady horizon]

Riight

[hexed terrace]

the logic of that would be the same for any game engine

[steady horizon]

Destroy if the finger doesn't reach another object

Thank you

[rough granite]

Interestingly enough it bacome a problen on my poor little laptop after 20 scripts with dozens of serialized properties each, though i feel that this was also thanks to odin inspector (it would drop my frames from ~150 to ~30 when i had the object selected and the inspector shown

[hexed terrace]

I used an asset once, that had a heavily customised inspector, editor fps dropped significantly with anything selected that had it (even scrolling the inspector was sloooowww).

The entire asset was very, very, poorly made (repeated code, string searches, string searches for game object names, etc) and I wish I'd not bought it.

[north walrus]

Any advice on some reads/video/repository study?
I'm at a point where I'm struggling on planning architecture within an unity project

[hexed terrace]

https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/ - not Unity specific, but can be extrapolated to be applicable to C#

[north walrus]

My main doubts were on the full code architecture i.e how to plan it to not have to reiterate continuously over it (which I'm currently doing).
Probably I will give it a read though as I read it once when I started and I could find my answers there since I'm more experienced, thanks!!!

[sour fulcrum]

Yeah just doing it poorly is honestly a pretty reliable way to get better at it

I personally have my own package with generic, reusable ideas that i constantly use in projects which has been good for iterating on ideas in the same place and getting in a good headspace about architecture

[mint flicker]

hey douse anyone know how to fix the bug where i cant add modules it wont apear its just shows in the explore or pach notes

[hexed terrace]

that sounds like you didn't install the editor via the hub?

[mint flicker]

i think so a tut was sending me to editer archive

but how do i make it add modules again it sounds risky replacing files

[frosty hound]

When you installed it, did you use the Install > button to do it from Unity Hub? Or did you manually install it yourself?

[mint flicker]

let me check

[hexed terrace]

If you don't install a version through the hub, then you cannot use the hub to install extra modules.

You will have to go back to the download archive and grab the installer for the version you're using, then use that to add more.

[mint flicker]

do i need to back up my project first

[hexed terrace]

no

[mint flicker]

ohh okay i get it now im putting the version like desktop into the project

Manley

[hexed terrace]

that makes no sense, and doesn't sound right

[mint flicker]

okay never mind xD

i will keep ckecking

[hexed terrace]

A project is not affected by the install at all. You can completely remove Unity from your computer and the project is still safe, until you delete it, or have a tech issue with your h/w

and this is a code channel, so any further questions on this should be moved to #💻┃unity-talk

[mint flicker]

oh thank goodnes

[mint flicker]

ohh sure

[balmy vortex]

hi is there a list of common code optimizations lying around somewhere for unity?

[frail hawk]

code optimization begins on your side

[balmy vortex]

wat does this mean

[red pelican]

Hello chat! I have been making cronus zen scripts and have been learning along the way. Im absolutely stuck on the menu. I've tried to follow everything I've found to integrate it through out the script but it constantly throws a redline error on a line that im 100% is correct. Rendering the menu useless. Anyone have experience in cronus zen?

[naive pawn]

no. there are a few common code smells, some of which might be relevant to your perf issues. but code optimization is heavily dependant on what's already there

[naive pawn]

what's the error

[naive pawn]

first off, do you even have perf issues? if not, no need to worry. if you do, then profile to see what the cause is

[keen dew]

Such a list would be pretty useless in practice. Use the profiler to find the bottlenecks specific to your game, then look up how to improve those

[red pelican]

The main will show no errors but when I put the menu and add the weapons and variables to it a redline error saying invalid space or invalid name "Weapons_Menu" or it will even reject const string_name "NIGHTMARE"

Its like the whole menu code is wrong and corrupting because my zen screen its self with bug out. I remove the menu and its ba k working fine.

[naive pawn]

uh is this related to unity?

[red pelican]

Im using visual studio to build it and a compiler to check for errors

[naive pawn]

that doesn't answer my question

this is a unity server

[red pelican]

In a code beginner section of a discord server.

Hense "code beginner"

[naive pawn]

this entire server is dedicated for unity

[red pelican]

Where creators can connect, learn and grow.

[naive pawn]

the people here wanting to help are proficient in unity. is your question related to unity? if not, we won't be able to help.

[red pelican]

Didn't know it was specific my bad I'll leave

[naive pawn]

try a server specific to cronus zen, if one exists - you'd probably be able to get help there

[red pelican]

Bunch of scammers, im good. Thought this was a learning community.

[naive pawn]

there's a discord server listed on their website https://www.cronusmax.com/

[red pelican]

Scammers on cronus servers

[naive pawn]

well, try their forums then i guess, or maybe dive into docs yourself

[red pelican]

They dont want to teach you. Only charge you to do it.

[red igloo]

I added double jumping and I have these issues that need fixing. When the player is double jumping for some reason it doesn't look smooth at all and when I move and jump its like the players momentum isn't carried over with the jump. Just feels weird. any ideas?

Script: https://paste.ofcode.org/8c3feWbWh5BwSEVj8Qds5e

[frosty hound]

You're probably setting a new velocity directly when you jump a second time.

[wintry quarry]

Your code is very explicitly removing all of the player's momentum when double jumping

        if (!isGrounded && isFullJump && !doubleJumpUsed && jumpBuffered)
        {
            Vector3 v = rb.linearVelocity;
            v.y = 0f;
            rb.linearVelocity = v;

            rb.AddForce(1f * jumpForce * Vector3.up, ForceMode.Impulse);
            doubleJumpUsed = true;
        }```

what do you think that v.y = 0f; bit is doing?

Did you write this code?

[red igloo]

yes I thought that it would fix the stutter when the player did the double jump but forgot to remove it thanks for the heads up!

[wintry quarry]

the lines before and after it can be removed as well if you remove that line

[red igloo]

As for the double jump how can I fix this?

[wintry quarry]

what in particular needs fixing?

How would you like it to behave?

[red igloo]

Look how when you move and do the double jump it stutters and not smooth at all and doesn't mix well when moving then jumping

[wintry quarry]

could be to do with your velocity clamping possibly

        if (rb.linearVelocity.magnitude > accelMaxSpeed)
        {
            rb.linearVelocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(rb.linearVelocity, accelMaxSpeed);
        }```

try removing this temporarily

[stone heron]

you want to treat your vertical and horizontal velocities as separate

[red igloo]

Ok that fixed it but the reason why thats code is there is to stop the fast movement while in the air / more control

[stone heron]

theres not much of a reason to clamp overall velocity

[wintry quarry]

yep but like butteredcoffee is saying you're being too heavy-handed with the clamping and because it's an omnidirectional clamp, it is affecting the horizontal velocity as well

[stone heron]

well clearly ur adding too much vertical velocity

[wintry quarry]

also simply reducing the vertical force will make it jump less too

[onyx musk]

Hey all

New coder here

[red igloo]

OK so now the jump is smooth but when I am moving and double jumping it doesn't really work together and when jumping and when getting close to the ground then going for the double jump how would I make it reach the double jump height instead of it moving up a bit.

Updated Script : https://paste.ofcode.org/fSR8sLjdmJNdzUyB42ZTZD

[covert sinew]

Question, can someone give me a brief bit of advice, I'm thinking about how I want to handle buildings in my game, and whether I want each interior to be its own scene, or just a hidden part of the current scene.

I already have a system made for transitioning between scenes via doorways, of course, but I'm curious if I should spool out another system for transitioning into areas within the same scene too.

[ivory bobcat]

What the issue? Not jumping high enough?

[red igloo]

When moving and double jumping the jump height for the double jump is decreased but when I am idle and then double jump its normal. Watch the video to get the idea. #💻┃code-beginner message

[ivory bobcat]

You need to explain what is normal

[edgy tangle]

I think you probably want to keep the zero-out of y linear velocity for a double-jump

It looks like since you’re falling then when you add force you’re adding to a negative y velocity

[ivory bobcat]

I would set the vertical velocity to zero if negative when attempting to jump

[red igloo]

normal is what you see at the beginning when I am idle and when you double jump you go higher when moving and double jumping its not high

[edgy tangle]

So you get a smaller visible impulse

[ivory bobcat]

Basically you've got negative velocity in the y.

[edgy tangle]

That’s a good point as well. Might only want to zero-out if you’re falling

If you’re already going up don’t zero-out

Depends on what feels right for what you want

[limber gazelle]

is the unity documentation a reliable source for a complete beginner?

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/2d-game-creation-wokflow.html#Fundamentals

talking about this

[slender nymph]

this is not a comprehensive tutorial that will teach you all of the necessary fundamentals if that is what you are asking

[limber gazelle]

it would be better to follow a yt tutorial?

[slender nymph]

consider following a structured course like the pathways on the unity learn site

[limber gazelle]

thank you

[pastel cave]

Idiomatic Unity - say there's a GameObject with a Hitbox Component that is parented to a GameObject with a Health Component.

What would the best way to communicate to the Health when the Hitbox determines it should take damage?

My first thought was something like public IDamageable damageable; on the hitbox, but that doesn't appear in the editor

[frail hawk]

by referencing the Component

[slender nymph]

correct, you cannot serialize interfaces like that, just use the component type directly, no need for an interface in this case

[pastel cave]

Hmm. Okay, but say I want to have a different type of damage listener. Like a damage logger or something. Would I have to create some base class DamageConsumer : MonoBehavour that Health and DamageLogger both inherit?

Or is that just more "bad idea"

[frail hawk]

you are confusing things rn.

just create a reference to the component of interest

[pastel cave]

I'm aware you're suggesting something like public Health health;

[frail hawk]

or explain it better so we can recommend something better

[pastel cave]

Okay

So IDEALLY I would like to have a Hitbox component that generically informs whatever component is provided to it so long as it implements an interface

I'm aware I could just provide the hitbox with a reference to the Health component, but that feels inflexible to me

[slender nymph]

use an event instead

[pastel cave]

An EventHandler?

[ivory bobcat]

Likely they're referring to a UnityEvent

[slender nymph]

no, there is almost no reason to use the EventHandler delegate. either use an Action or a UnityEvent

[pastel cave]

Alright I'll look into UnityEvent

[frail hawk]

you can assign all listeners via inspector it is a nice solution provided by unity

[pastel cave]

Oh, perfect

Great, thanks

Yes this is exactly what I need
What's the advantage to Actions? These seem to overlap, except UnityEvent also is assignsble in-editor. Is Action just considerably lighter so it's preferable for events that will only be programmatically assigned to?

[ivory bobcat]

Edit: that was Unity Action vs Unity Event, whereas you were asking about Action vs Unity Event
https://discussions.unity.com/t/unityaction-vs-unityevent/219790

[red igloo]

Like this? ``` Vector3 v = rb.linearVelocity;

if (v.y < 0f)
{
v.y = 0f;
rb.linearVelocity = v;
} ```

This isn't what I was looking for, I want it so if the player is moving and double jumping the height should be the desired height. Even when I jump and when I get close to the ground and then go for a double jump it should go to the desired height.

[ivory bobcat]

Consider thinking about why it doesn't go to the expected height.

[pastel cave]

Ah, sorry. Yeah, this link doesn't really cover what I was asking
I'm just going to assume that Action is supplanted by UnityEvent

[stone heron]

i hate to say but the answer is "it depends". without knowing anything about your game its impossible to advise

[covert sinew]

What kind of info would be needed? It's a turn based RPG, in the vein of FF7, I suppose?

[stone heron]

if its all in the same scene it would be worse performance, unless you disabled the interiors or something. If you put it in another scene then you could just load what you need. Do you want there to be a clear transition (like in pokemon/zelda games) or do you want it to be seamless? Do you want to be able to see inside buildings from the outside?

without a clear goal theres no approach thats "better" it depends on what you want for this game

what problems are you trying to solve? performance? level design? game flow?

[grand snow]

You only want to use UnityEvent if you want serialized subscriptions. Otherwise stick with event and delegate types

[red igloo]

Sorry for the late reply. Should I track the peak height of the players Y velocity?

[inland crystal]

Mind if I ask a sort of related question - I'm going to move on to Input Actions so its not important, but not knowing what causes the following issue has been irrationally annoying:

bool a = Gamepad.current.aButton.IsPressed();

... Occasionally, it just gets stuck on a true or false state. eg, it goes true when pressed, then when released, it doesnt go back to false.

I must be using it wrong, but... how?

[polar acorn]

Where are you running that line of code?

[inland crystal]

Update

[rough granite]

the line of code you've provided is like a one time check it checks the state of the button when it's called but if the state of the button changes and this line isnt called again a wouldn't change

[inland crystal]

It's just right there every Update. Now that I think about it maybe I should try FixedUpdate see if that makes any difference.

From what I've read, it seems like Gamepad class polls the device on a schedule, so I tried varying the polling interval and the application target framerate but nothing seems to stop it from happening.

[grand snow]

Update() should be fine. You can use the input debugger to see if if it reads the same https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.18/manual/Debugging.html

[inland crystal]

Thanks, thats interesting! Even the input debugger doesn't always register the change in input.

Wonder if my controller is gubbed... I'll try another

[grand snow]

I think windows has a controller input visualiser thing but yea try another one

[inland crystal]

I forgot about the visualiser too, thanks. Welp, its definitely my Unity project at fault

[grand snow]

Input system documentation is quite detailed, it seems the controller polling rate is already high and can be changed
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.inputsystem@1.18/manual/Gamepad.html#polling

[inland crystal]

Thanks again, do appreciate the help btw; but I've already tried messing with the polling rate, to no avail.

Does anyone know how to keep unitys context while not opening the entire project in vscode. So for example If I open the scripts folder without unity it doesn't link for debugging and unity imports seem broken. But if i open through unity it opens the entire project. I only want to see my scripts folder.

[grand snow]

no you need vs code to open/detect the c# project unity generated to get all features

Use search to find types/files instead (ctrl T, ctrl P)

I used a editor script to fill it with the items I need since theyre always the same just to test if it would be a simple issue but it takes too long to start up the project now since there are assets each one needs to get.

How would people recommend doing this / how is it usually done?

I been coding all day first time ever had to watch alot of videos and chatgbt to help fix things

[grand snow]

Can you share any code or more info as to how this works? Is this UGUI or UITK?
If you created this at runtime you can create things over time to reduce impact on framerate

[queen adder]

@grand snow is it good to use chatbgt to help with scripts?

seeing as this is the beginner chat and you spelt it wrong, NO

[grand snow]

first link is broken.
Why do you have Start() work that way when it depends on a public field being set before? Seems like a bad idea when you already have a SetX function (which fails to update the pkmn var too)

[queen adder]

I tryed to make it like black ops 4 and I had chatgbt to check it

[fringe sinew]

Good point on the SetX function I didnt relieze I forgot to have it set the pokemon XD

But the reason I have Start work like that is because I have the scriptable object added before runtime and just changed sometimes in run time.

[grand snow]

Ah that makes more sense. That design would probably need to change if you need to instead create + init elements over many frames

Manual initialization is just better when you need to control things

[fringe sinew]

So with a Coroutine probably right?

just have it start on awake/start and end after X iterations / all done?

[polar acorn]

You would have some parent script such as "pokemon list" that is in charge of creating elements and initialising them with data objects.
The key is only doing some amount of creations a frame before you wait for the next. A coroutine or async function can be used for this.

[fringe sinew]

Perfect thank you!

[queen adder]

Ya is it good so far I have a bunch more I worked on but not sure if there good or not

[grand snow]

Or the UI is redesigned to be paged so you can re use a smaller amount of elements

[fringe sinew]

That could also work I just liked the scrolling design XD

[polar acorn]

It doesn't matter if we think it's good you didn't write it so what are you even going to do with that information.

[queen adder]

I said I made it I watched YouTube videos all day and worked on it lol

I used chatgbt to check it

[grand snow]

Lots of ways to implement this! (e.g. as you scroll you can dynamically load and unload elements)

[fringe sinew]

Yeah I thought about doing something like that with reusing the same prefabs instead of having the 1000+ of them but couldnt get a concrete version working.

Ill try out the batch loading and see if it works well anyway! Thank you for the help!

[grand snow]

unity has pool objects if you have trouble implementing such a thing.
It does take more than just moving and reordering elements (we have to pad the empty space or dynamically change the scroll position to keep up the illusion). Anyway hope you get it working

[plain forge]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to implement a custom post processing renderer pass into my game but I have a problem. I want to check if the component is enabled or disabled but this code doesn't work? What am I doing wrong?

[grand snow]

Component uses enabled and this checkbox only shows up if update/fixed update is defined

is this what you mean?

[plain forge]

let me rephrase my question, currently my render pass is rendering no matter if the VolumeComponent is enabled or disabled. I check it like this in my RendererPass. I want to check if the second image's checkbox is checked or not in the RenderPass' RecordRenderGraph method. I hope this is better. Thanks

[grand snow]

active sounds right but ill be honest the docs are not great at detailing render graph and volume stuff

Ill just leave this here, the description is a tad confusing https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.core@17.5/api/UnityEngine.Rendering.VolumeComponent.html#UnityEngine_Rendering_VolumeComponent_active

[plain forge]

https://discussions.unity.com/t/how-to-get-enabled-or-active-from-a-volumecomponent/935144/2 this is same issue I had nobody knows the answer thanks anyway

[grand snow]

Aha then the description for active is accurate

meaning its not actually meant to be used for "should this pass be executed or not"

fuckin shit name thou

[civic palm]

how can i give objects more than one tag?

my terrain can be 2 types (safe or danger), but i want another type (drillable) that both of the original 2 can be but i only want certain parts to be drillable

[grand snow]

Use a component and track it yourself with enums or other things

[edgy tangle]

Yes that’s the way. Otherwise the answer to your original question is “you cannot”

You can get crafty with how robust you make your tagging system, but otherwise could just make an enum with the [Flags] attribute so you can use a bitmask and have the nice check mark drop-down

That also means you’ll need to use a bitwise operator to check the tags, but you can make a helper function so it’s easier to read in the code

[slender nymph]

bitwise operators aren't entirely necessary to determine if an enum instance contains a specific flag, there's the HasFlag method

[edgy tangle]

Oh yeah that’s right

[mortal bluff]

hi all,

for a small project, i want to load a procedural mesh (1k-ish vertices) into canvas. the naive solution of pushing every individual vertex in OnPopulateMesh works well enough. sadly, this implementation is so slow that it causes noticeable lag. im pretty sure there is a faster way with AddUIVertexStream or FillMesh, but the documentation for VertexHelper and UIVertex is incredibly sparse, so im having a bit of trouble understanding what im supposed to do here. could anyone show me the way?

(please ping me if you choose to respond)

[teal viper]

1k vertices is too much for ui. What exactly are you trying to draw there? Also, did you profile it at all?

[mortal bluff]

a two-dimensional procedural map. the performance issue itself is pretty clear: with the individual vertex solution, youre pushing to the gui buffer with every single vertex, which creates a lot of garbage. i bodged a slightly hacky solution together with CanvasRenderer.SetMesh that is performant enough for my purposes, but id still like to know the 'proper way' with VertexHelper

[teal viper]

Wdym by "pushing to the gui buffer with every single vertex"? That doesn't sound correct.
Can you share some profiler data as well as your code?

[mortal bluff]

excuse me, i meant gpu buffer

ill post some data when i get back at my pc

[teal viper]

GPU buffers are not subject to GC collection, so you're probably misinterpreting the data.

[mortal bluff]

very likely :P

i imagine that the AddVertex method is creating some kind of temporary data structure thats spiking garbage, but thats just a suspicion

[teal viper]

Or you're recreating a vertex helper every frame

[mortal bluff]

i dont really know how OnPopulateMesh works behind the scenes - again, the documentation is not helpful - but im just using the instance thats passed by the callback

[teal viper]

If it's a minimap or something, you might want to consider drawing it to a render texture and displaying via a raw image in the ui.

[mortal bluff]

yeah, i might eventually settle for something like that

[livid anchor]

Hey, working on a snake type game. I have an issue I'm not sure how to resolve it.

I want to spawn pick ups for the snake to eat, but I don't want it to spawn either on the snake or on an obstacle.

Just to spawn at a random position is easy, buct checking if a position is valid is another issue

[queen adder]

what is the world is the unity player input component used for

i checked there offical input videos and there they directly used the input system in the script rather than adding using the player input component

[chrome tide]

it depends on how you represent the map. the easiest way is to first check each position and collect the ones that aren't occupied by the snake or food, and then pick a random position and spawn food on it.

[livid anchor]

The issue I think is that I have no variable tracking where is what. I just have the snake moving in space righ now

[chrome tide]

well, i'm assuming your game is grid based? you could use a List<Vector2Int> to hold the data about snake's segments. this will let you easily extend the snake and store data about its segment positioning

[livid anchor]

Yeah i have a list with all the snake transforms. I could indeed check the position of each segment before instantiating a pickup. But generating random numbers and checking availability seems inneficient.

[chrome tide]

it depends on how you implement it. if you simply roll a dice until a specific condition is met, then that is of course very inneficient because in the worst scenario you could NEVER meet the condition. that's why i recommend you to instead collect the positions that meet the condition (e.g. don't store food and aren't any of the snake's segment's position), and then picking a random one of those.

[livid anchor]

So I would create a list of all available choices, remove the one already taken and pick from those ? Yeah that can work

[chrome tide]

yeah, something like that.

you might also need to check if the .Count == 0, as you'll get an error if you try to index an empty list

[livid anchor]

Can you compare two Transforms ?

[rotund sandal]

How do I align the circle with grid snapping it to the box's circle?

[chrome tide]

compare by what? position?

[livid anchor]

Yeah

[chrome tide]

yes, you can just check if TransformA and TransformB positions are similiar. just make sure to not use == because of floating points, it's better to check if the difference between two values is less than an epsilon (e.g. 0.001f)

[nocturne kayak]

Hello guys i'd like to "restrict" the x axis so you cant fully turn your camera around when you are sit but i'am really unsure on how to do it ( i did something for the y axis and it work but i just dont think it would work for the x axis ) https://paste.mod.gg/fanatlfevdme/0

[chrome tide]

you can simply clamp the rotation. though you're sure it's an X axis? rotating left/right is usually done by the Y axis if i'm not mistaken

[keen dew]

Make a variable yRotation and change the look system to work the same way with y rotation as you already do with x rotation

[nocturne kayak]

uhmmm i have no idea i thought the x axis was the left right axis so it would have make sense for me 😅

[broken nest]

Hello, can I change the shape of a 3d object? Like putting a hole in a cube?

At runtime, not in blender

[sour fulcrum]

Not easily

[broken nest]

Guess I'll do it myself

[chrome tide]

maybe you could try modifying mesh vertices?

[grand snow]

You can cheat using the stencil buffer but doing realtime boolean operations is not easy and would be best via a pre existing mesh lib

[broken nest]

Hmmm could you explain I don't know many of these words 😊

[grand snow]

Something like this that offers mesh boolean operations (may not be perfect)
https://github.com/gradientspace/geometry3Sharp

And i refer to the boolean modifier in blender: https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/modifiers/generate/booleans.html

@broken nest ^

[broken nest]

Thanks a lot 🙂

[broken nest]

Kind of a follow up question, is there a 3d object by default that's only one triangle? cos there's a quad with 2 triangles. Do I have to get blender for that?

[night raptor]

No, you have to either: use a modelling tool (like blender), use probuilder or build the triangle procedurally via code

[broken nest]

Thanks, how do i do it via code?

[night raptor]

You can search up ”procedural mesh generation”, but it’s definitely not the easiest way. If you only need one kind of triangle, you should use one of the former options. Mesh generation is mostly useful for meshes that will change between runs of the game

[sour fulcrum]

Cubes have many triangles

Hi im having issues with the Contain function on a script. Basicly whats happening is if the searchBar.text = "g" and the p.name = "gible" its not seeing that the name contains "g".
Why is this happening?
https://paste.ofcode.org/davrfPJQRD295LVw9kngNZ

[grand snow]

First id check if the text from the search bar contains any other characters. You can use Trim() to remove whitespace.
use a debugger or logs to double check the string data

[fringe sinew]

Ive been using debugger and what I put in above is what they have

[wintry quarry]

Show us what you saw in the debugger

also make sure p.name is actually the field you want

name is the builtin one from UnityEngine.Object

[grand snow]

oh yea, for scriptable objects its the asset name

[fringe sinew]

Yea I understand its the asset name

im trying to set up bloom on the unity's toon shader but i cant make it work. i had followed the code monkey tutorial and a bunch of other tutorials with post processing and whatnot and nothing seems to work. and i have enabled post processing in editor, every other effect like motion blur works, but not the bloom. HDR is also enabled. Intensity of the bloom is also cranked up to like 50

[fringe sinew]

thats how I want it to be

[wintry quarry]

the object is not bright enough with regards to the other objects in the scene and the bloom thresholds you set

        }
    }

why wont the linearvelocityY work?

[grand snow]

This should work just fine and i trust c# so lets presume its doing its job and there are infact 0 matches

therefore verify the data its looking though is what you expect

[wintry quarry]

what do you mean by "work"? What is happening and what do you expect to be happening?

[sweet fern]

when i click the bird should go up, and i just get a ton of error

[wintry quarry]

Seems like a pretty self explanatory error

your code is trying to use the old input system

this is a #1390346776804069396 question not a code issue

#💥┃post-processing or this

[grand snow]

Must be that your all list is missing this data.
Also you should avoid copying the entire list and making a new list. You should clear the existing list and AddRange().

Proof:
https://dotnetfiddle.net/nodL2K

[fringe sinew]

The screenshots I sent in show that my list isnt missing the data tho?
Also Ill fix the copying thing thanks!

[fringe sinew]

This is from the same update

[grand snow]

Then the issue is elsewhere such as the list you are adding things too is not what you are using to display results.
Its pretty clear that Contains() is working as intended so its either the collection you are searching or the destination collection you are adding things too.

[fringe sinew]

Ill look into it more but Im like 99% sure its all right. Thank you for the help anyway!

[grand snow]

Investigate each potential cause and when you can verify it works then we move on. You can even do a test with hard coded data such as the search value.
Its easy sometimes to fuck up a var name elsewhere and have weird things happen (ive done it myself many times!)

My example on dot net fiddle was to demonstate that yes we get the expected result from Contains() so that works as intended

[naive pawn]

perhaps check if there are any invisible characters in there

[fringe sinew]

Already checked and doesnt seem to be

So I added in a Debug.Log before hand to see and it does seem to return false for all of them:
https://paste.ofcode.org/yVNHseMmW2wWjXq5tyH3qv

something else is up or these characters are some weird other unicode character

[keen dew]

I'm guessing it's the good old wrong type for an input field instead of TMP_InputField

[dense mica]

Howdy folks. For a few years now I've been plagued by an issue where, after loading the title screen of my game, and choosing new/load game, everything pauses for 5-6 seconds while the scene loads. This happens about 1 out of 20 times, as normal scene loading is instantaneous. Its a simple 2D game with very little in the way of assets on a 7800X3d... so this is quite unusual. No errors are being thrown during this time and the PC is otherwise idle.

I notice it occurs with editor->play and when released and installed on iOS and Android. On mobile the delays can take 20 seconds or more even in release mode. Its rare, so not too disruptive. But given things normally load instantly I've not added loading bars. And even if I did, given the length of the pause the bars wouldn't do much. So my problem is I've struggled to identify just why things are locked up for so long. Even deep profiler debugging hasn't been too useful in highlighting where all the CPU time is going. Curious if anyone had thoughts about how to debug such a thing?

[rich adder]

use the profiler?

[dense mica]

I'd mentioned I use the deep debug profile capability. It also locks up and is unable to give any insight into things.

Rather, Unity is so busy its not sending packets to the profiler.

[fringe sinew]

Any idea what it could be? Ive been trying to find it but I cant

Also updated contain to use the trim and all but same result

[rich adder]

oh "deep debugging" you meant deep profile, are you doing a build or in editor

[keen dew]

What's the type of searchBar

[dense mica]

I mentioned I do both. I run it in the editor AND I've deployed on iOS and Android.

[fringe sinew]

Its a TextMeshProUGUI

[keen dew]

It should be TMP_InputField

[dense mica]

I've tried every combination of optimizations (most of which remove profiling obviously). Its random, and is rare, hence why its difficult to track down.

[keen dew]

Input fields have an invisible control character

[grand snow]

Can you copy paste one of the logs here?

[dense mica]

I'd thought perhaps there was some caching going on. Because like just now, I loaded up Unity and it happened right out of the gate (which is why I thought to come ask about it). But it probably won't happen again today. Is there a cache I can go delete to see?

[rich adder]

Library folder

[fringe sinew]

Swapping it over touse the InputField instead fixed it! Thank you so much

[dense mica]

What about on an iOS or Android device?

Library folder doesn't exist for a released/installed game.

[grand snow]

I legit never knew this but I have basically only used TMP

[rich adder]

yeah for release not sure where it gets put, I think you can print it out with the Applicationclass through logs https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Application-temporaryCachePath.html
this temp one tho

[dense mica]

Thank you. I'll see if nuking that allows the pause to happen consistently so I can sort out what is up.

[rich adder]

are you testing on real device or emulator

[dense mica]

Real devices.

My iPhone generally outperforms my 7800X3D slightly, so the pause is present but 4 seconds to load isn't horrible. On my Android devices it can be over 10 seconds though. In some cases I believe it has locked up and then just pop, goes. And since the pause doesn't happen the rest of the day its like...well that sucks. Will certainly give a first bad impression to folks though if I can't optimize it out.

[rich adder]

I think those two devices also have their own profiling tools you could also try those maybe ?

Android Studio and iOS has one forgot what its called

(needs xtools) https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AnalysisTools/Conceptual/instruments_help-collection/Chapter/Chapter.html

[dense mica]

Hmm. I've not tried to get the native tools going. Given how debug packets stop being sent/received during the lockup to the Unity Profiler, I just assumed the native tools would get no updates either. Generally all higher level debugging is taking place over TCP/IP which is what seems to be getting trashed.

In my dayjob I do embedded development. There is benefits to having hardware level breakpoints haha.

[rich adder]

ya true.. I'd still give it a try see if they yield some better results than unity over tcp

[red igloo]

I'm honestly getting confused with rb.linearvelocity. when I hold the jump button to jump higher how can I get the exact peak height? I want to get the exact height and make it so if the player is at this height just for a few seconds the double jump will be available.

[naive pawn]

a hang time of a few seconds is crazy

[red igloo]

how would you do it?

[naive pawn]

i wouldn't make double-jumping a timing skill check

but i don't know what you're going for

[wintry quarry]

The player will sit at the same exact height for a few seconds?

[red igloo]

What I am going for is a ground slam feature so the double jump will allow the player to have enough height for the ground slam feature I am going to add later.

[naive pawn]

could just have those be separate actions, and make the skill check in the output, not the input
if you time the double-jump poorly, you don't get enough height
if you don't get enough height, the ground slam might not work or might not do as much damage - but you'd still be able to input that, and fall to the ground faster

[nocturne kayak]

Hello again i want to rotate the player so when he sit there is a great view , i just want to center the camera i have tried a couple thing but it dont work on the player gameobject , is there a way to directly rotate with something like transform , vector

oh wait i just cant rotate the player

okay i found the problem

As i this is my problem and i also guess its the wrong way to move a camera is there better way than this ? **Vector2 currentMouseDelta = Vector2.Lerp(previousMouseDelta, m_lookAmt, smooth);**https://paste.mod.gg/eoodmqjoomic/0

[naive pawn]

that's called wronglerp, it's framerate-dependant and asymptotic. if you want the same ease-out smoothing, there's a better alternative (along with an explanation) here: https://unity.huh.how/lerp/wrong-lerp

[nocturne kayak]

Yes Thank you so i should still use lerp ?

[naive pawn]

i mean, you aren't lerping. it's reusing the math behind lerp with different inputs to get a different result

[nocturne kayak]

alright thanks

[naive pawn]

if (yRotation > 360f) yRotation -= 360f;
if (yRotation < -360f) yRotation += 360f;
```this part isn't super necessary, but if you'd like to restrict it to a range, you would need `while` instead, or better yet, you can use `%` instead to not have any looping

[red igloo]

Thanks for the info! so I'm not going to make a exact height, just going to make it the higher you are the more damage you do and the lower you are the less damage you do. would I use the players Y velocity for this?

[rich adder]

Why not just a raycast/cast down from player to ground

[naive pawn]

if you continuously accelerate for the slam, sure (probably with a terminal velocity corresponding to a max damage)
but that's up to your design

also up to level design for what you need to support

a raycast could also work but would break if you do it above a platform that moves out of the way before you hit it

[red igloo]

The more ways I think of to do it the more issues that come with it. How would you personally do it?

[rich adder]

everything in development has compromises you are willing to live with

there is no "correct way" you have to make it work for your design / tolerance to pros-cons with each solution

personally I'd start simple with a ray check if I have enough / min distance height, maybe check some Y velocity for enough momentum . Some ignore layers could help weed out moving objects unrelated if you need

[naive pawn]

could also store the y position you started and compare against the y position you hit the ground at

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Collision-relativeVelocity.html
for dynamic rigidbody is also an option for OnCollisionEnter

(thats for the damage amount - not initiating the slam in the first place)

[red igloo]

Would I cast 2 separate rays? one for when when your high and the other one for when you are low

[rich adder]

I meant the ray to check if you're at min height for a slam, if you want to check for example how much damage do the other suggestions, comparing values

is the slam a consistent speed ? is it faster/stronger when you're higher ? etc. those are also playing part into comparison

[red igloo]

I want the slam to be faster / stronger when your higher and when you are lower its less fast / less stronger.

[rich adder]

so yeah i'd start with a height check doing a cast from your current height to ground

[nocturne kayak]

Hello again any idea why my player is always suddenly teleporting when i'am sitting ? (this is my chair script but i'am not sure if the problem is coming from the chair tho https://paste.mod.gg/pynbrifblkig/0)

How would I get the height? the player's Y linearvelocity?

[rich adder]

you can compare Y values too sure, if you use a cast you just use raycasthit.distance

Hey! Currently Im having a problem with enemy attacking - primarily Ranged attacks not hitting near the player. The main issue is it going almost haywire, and going into different directions. Im thinking its because of rotation either in the bullet or the object transform, but I cannot find where my script would cause that. Attached are the two scripts that control the Enemy Firing:
EnemiesHandGunFire: https://paste.ofcode.org/TSXGphH4rZqQBRku6Nzp8E (Controls when the gun should fire - as you see there is a current issue with it firing multiple times in quick succession, but I'll focus on fixing that up later).
EnemyFiringProjectileScript: http://paste.ofcode.org/7sRXYbXdDuPFDPwJYt47j8 (Controls the actual creation of the bullets, the main thing that I think causes it. Is called by the EnemiesHandGunFire Script.)
Does anyone have any idea as to why this might occur? I've checked different ways as to fix it, including making the time between bullets extremely long and turning the gun (and attackPoint), but they haven't had success.
If you do help, please @ me. Thank you so much!

    RandomClip = Clip_Name[Random.Range(0, Clip_Name.Count)];
    PlayAnimation(RandomClip, FadeDuration);
}
else if (Clip_Name.Count >=2)
{
    if (PreviousClip == RandomClip) { PlayRandom(); }  
}```

[rich adder]

its probably PlayRandom()

show the entire code in context

[fast fern]

thing is it worked fine before I added the conditions

[rich adder]

probably something you changed, depends where you call this code & PlayRandom does

doubt its .Count itself tho

PlayRandom is probably constantly calling itself cause of condition causing overflow

[fast fern]

the project is a bunch of cards(buttons), when clicked it adds to the list of cards, and I don't want it to repeat the previous card to I tried writing this

public void PlayAnimation(string AnimationClip,float FadeDuration )
{
    Animator.CrossFade(AnimationClip, FadeDuration);
}

public void PlayRandom()
{   StartCoroutine(SearchPreviousClip());
    if (Clip_Name.Count == 1)
    {
        RandomClip = Clip_Name[Random.Range(0, Clip_Name.Count)];
        PlayAnimation(RandomClip, FadeDuration);
    }
    else if (Clip_Name.Count >=2)
    {
        if (PreviousClip == RandomClip) 
        {
            PlayRandom(); 
        }  
    }
}

IEnumerator SearchPreviousClip()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(2f);
    PreviousClip = RandomClip;

}

[fast fern]

I'll try again, I must've missed something

[rich adder]

if same clip is chosen repeatedly, PlayRandom() calls itself forever

[fast fern]

yiks

[rich adder]

instead of recursion use something like a while loop

do / while

[fast fern]

I'll see (still new to this lol)

[rich adder]

do note that start coroutine doesnt pause the function its in , the code under it runs immediately without wait

[fast fern]

ooof

[rich adder]

maybe you can try

public void PlayRandom()
{
    if (Clip_Name.Count == 0)
        return;

    string newClip;

    if (Clip_Name.Count == 1)
    {
        newClip = Clip_Name[0];
    }
    else
    {
        do
        {
            newClip = Clip_Name[Random.Range(0, Clip_Name.Count)];
        }
        while (newClip == PreviousClip);
    }

    PlayAnimation(newClip, FadeDuration);

    PreviousClip = newClip;
    RandomClip = newClip;
}```

probably is a better way, my brain aint fully braining right now but give it a try lol

[fast fern]

lol and thanks

let me know if it works out

The last few times I've made a new Unity project, it's had compiler errors immediately upon creation, and I've had to remove whatever Unity packages were causing the error. com.unity.collab-proxy is the biggest offender. Is this a known issue?

[timber tide]

I suggest removing anything that's adding deviation to the direction and get something to just fire forward first.

[untold shore]

For the entire 2 hours I’ve been working on this I’ve haven’t thought of that or something remotely similar rip.
I’ll definitely do that and see if that helps. Thank you!!

[sterile coral]

someone pls help i've been trying to fix this for hours now i can jump but the game doesn't detect the raycast:

using Unity.Mathematics;
using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
public Rigidbody2D rB;

public float playerSpeed = 1.0f;
public float jumpForce = 5.0f;
public float playerHeight = 2;





void Update()
{
    //playerMovement

    transform.rotation = quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);

    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && GetIsGrounded() )
    {
        rB.linearVelocity = new Vector2(rB.linearVelocityX, jumpForce);
       }

    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    {
        rB.linearVelocity = new Vector2(-playerSpeed, rB.linearVelocityY);
    }

    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
    {
        rB.linearVelocity = new Vector2(playerSpeed, rB.linearVelocityY);
    }



}

[solar hill]

also start off with basic debug lines

specifically in your grounded check and then in the jump function

[sterile coral]

I tried debug.log in GetIsGrounded() but it doesn't say anything in console

[untold shore]

It probably isn’t even getting to GetIsGrounded() if that’s the case. Are you calling it somewhere?

Oh I see where you called it- I’m blind

[rough granite]

right where did you put the log in GetIsGrounded()?

[sterile coral]

the line under return physics2d.raycast

[rough granite]

now im fairly certain your ide isnt configured as it would point out instantly that, that line of code is unreachable

return ends the function right there, if you want to log the bool value of return Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, playerHeight, LayerMask.GetMask("Grounded")); you'd need to do something like

bool Grounded = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, Vector2.down, playerHeight, LayerMask.GetMask("Grounded"));
Debug.Log(Grounded);
return Grounded;

for example here what you had would have the ide practically yell at you saying hey no

[solar hill]

also is your ground layer called "grounded"?

[sterile coral]

no it really is Grounded

[solar hill]

and you assigned it to the ground gameobjects in the scene?

[sterile coral]

yes

[solar hill]

what does the debug tell you then

[sterile coral]

i tried that code i dont know why but in console it says true

[solar hill]

so its returning as true?

[sterile coral]

yeah it says true

[solar hill]

you still havent explained* the actual issue here, you said the game doesnt "detect the raycast" but if its returning as true then it is?

so whats the problem

[sterile coral]

the problem is that i can walk and jump i added the raycast but it doens't work while i typed if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Space) && GetIsGrounded() ) and now its returning something

[solar hill]

so now it works?

this sounds like a classic xy problem to me

[sterile coral]

it still doesn't work

[solar hill]

what doesnt work....

you still havent actually told us

whats supposed to happen and what is happening instead

first you said its the raycast but now you said its returning true

[sterile coral]

groundcheck so i can't triple jump

[solar hill]

so when you added the debug it came back as true even if you were trying to jump in the air?

[rough granite]

The ground check does work though, as you've said the log is saying "true" which means the GetIsGrounded is also returbing true

[untold shore]

Don't think youll see this because I didn't ping ya, but this was exactly the reason. Thank you so much!

[rough granite]

Is this what they meant? Hard to tell tbh, but if this is the case i would recommended adjusting the value after Vector.down as that's the length of the raycast

[solar hill]

yeah i still have no clue what they meant

some people dont make it easy to actually help them

we arent mindreaders, we cant guess whats going wrong without knowing what is happening that isnt supposed to.

[sterile coral]

I try to add a raycast for a groundcheck so i can't infinitely jump i added that in the script but i still can infinitely jump that is the problem

[rough granite]

great ty, i would start with the last thing i mentioned which is reducing the value of playHeight here since it's the value that dictates the length of the raycast
Edit: though the total height jumped looks like a lot more than the playereheight value of 0.5 from the video

[halcyon moon]

hi
i have 2 players in my game and added a mechanic that if i click on a player it selects them then right click somewhere else it moves there.
i just wanted to add a visual effect like a "highlight" when i click on him. smth for like half a second.
how can i do that?

yk "highlight" isn't the best word for it. smth better would be a "glow"

[grand snow]

An easy way would be some outline post effect

[halcyon moon]

hmm. i think if its easy i can go with it. but it isn't really what i wanted.

wait a mom. i will search for an example

[grand snow]

If you want a VATS like "highlight" then you can achieve that with a post processing effect or cheat and do it on the shader itself

[sterile coral]

still doesn't work i really really hate this shit maybe its better to rewrite the script??

[halcyon moon]

nah nah, its smth very simple but im new and don't know still what args. to use for this.

here

[grand snow]

Oh well just making a sprite "brighter" is easy with a shader

head to #1391720450752516147 to ask more/how

[halcyon moon]

ok thanks

[elder hearth]

Hi! Does unity 6.3 support VS 2026?

Wrong channel sorry

[sterile coral]

BROOO the problem was that i put the player layer on grounded accidentally 3 hours ago or something😭 tysm for your time♥️ @rough granite

[red igloo]

I am trying to make it so when you double jump and between the red and blue lines I want the height check to trigger only around that specific height and I am going insane. idk if the y velocity value is right at this point .

[solar hill]

you need a reference to your jump height, i dont think velocity would do you any good here, basically get a reference to your y offset from the initial point you jumped at and when its above a certain threshold it should allow you to double jump

[grand snow]

Yea if you track the amount of jumps taken and the position where the first jump happened you can probably do this a lot easier

[cosmic dagger]

Agreed, just pick a minimum height needed to do a ground slam. when the jump starts, log the current position, then track the position (only while jumping, or better yet, in air) every frame, if it exceeds your minimum height threshold for a ground slam, then activate/allow the player to ground slam . . .

[icy wolf]

can i ask something ? to someone (its a very basic problem but idkn how to fix)

[solar hill]

you can just ask yes

[cosmic dagger]

just ask; don't ask to ask . . .

[icy wolf]

im doing a blend tree with the float Velocity,
even if i start the game scene i try to edit the velocity by the blend tree but the float does not change

it change only if i manually input on the parameters

[icy wolf]

srry thank

[slender nymph]

show what you tried

[cosmic dagger]

yeah, we need to see the code to get an idea of what is wrong . . .

[icy wolf]

so the velocity it dosent change if i simple move the bar?

cause i just wanted to se some blend animations

everyone i saw on yt it dosent assign a script to move the bar and modify the float

[cosmic dagger]

did you see or watch what they followed to achieve that?

[icy wolf]

yeah

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8rGyoStfgQ&list=PLwyUzJb_FNeTQwyGujWRLqnfKpV-cj-eO&index=6

his parameter move when he drag

idkn why mine dosent he dont have any script attached to his blend tree

[pliant dome]

To anyone who is somewhat acquainted with fg generally like hitboxes and framedata and all that. Would using box colliders be better for hitbox and hurtbox detection or box cast?

[rough granite]

Sorry fg as in frame gen? If so what's that have to do with hitbox collider types?

[pliant dome]

Oh crap lol

I meant fighting games

Im sorry

[rough granite]

Ah lol

[pliant dome]

You think you could answer my question? I try not to @ random people but I couldnt help but notice you are aware of games like Melty Blood and so I thought you be kind enough to help out rq?

[grand snow]

Yea dont do that

[pliant dome]

ok

[grand snow]

To actually answer your question. Primitive colliders perform better than mesh colliders so always use those if possible (Box, Sphere, Capsule).

its not 2004 anymore so you are not forced to use boxes

[pliant dome]

Yeah I dont mean Mesh colliders

I mean if I should base my hurtbox and hitbox system using a box cast or use colliders. Like cast seems more customizable and fit better for stuff like hit box and hurt boxes in fg

I just dont fully know

[grand snow]

Box/Sphere casts are for when you want to "sweep" the shape along a path and detect intersections

But triggers attached to objects moving over time should work just as fine (with the right settings)

[pliant dome]

Okay cool

One more question

While Im here

Can you change the color of colliders?

Like making specific groups of colliders in the scene red or white?

[grand snow]

No but you can draw a gizmo yourself with different colours

[pliant dome]

Ohhh for some reason I just assumed that gizmos only work in tandem with cast

Ok cool thank you

[grand snow]

Gizmos are the visual thing shown in scene view

[grizzled spoke]

Hi does anyone know if it's safe to assign list values in the inspector?
one time i did that with a list of color objects and unity domain reloaded or smthg (the game WAS saved after i inputted the color values) and the list reset and became empty in the inspector
I had to look through the .unity file in my github push history to retrieve the color values I set earlier so I can add them to the list in code

is this a common issue or just a bug? it was in 2022.3.8f1 btw

[grizzled spoke]

i like your pfp lmao even tho i havent played omori

[ivory bobcat]

I don't believe this is isolated to just lists? The inspector values may be reset with certain changes to the script. There are particular actions that would make it occur but I don't recall.

[grizzled spoke]

oh i see

is there a way to avoid that from happening?

or is the best habbit to just get references to everything in code

because when i searched it up online it seemed that everyone said that assigning stuff in the inspector is fine and efficient
no one really mentioned the possibility of the values resetting

[grand snow]

If in play mode, nothing will be saved. Otherwise this will work just fine unless you did something weird

Assets and scriptable objects will keep their state and can be saved regardless of play mode

[grizzled spoke]

i dont think I was in play mode considering the color inspector values were pushed to my github repo at some point meaning it was prob across coding sessions

[grand snow]

Then you must have done something weird to have this data loss. Did someone else modify a scene and override your changes?

[ivory bobcat]

I don't recall exactly when or why but if there's enough change, the inspector values are reassigned to their default values (they're re-serialized)

[grizzled spoke]

okay thanks I'll try and learn to use scriptable objects

[grizzled spoke]

I think it may be that
I might have changed the script to initialize the list in the awake method or something

[grand snow]

Dont jump the gun when you dont know what you did before...

Modifications in play mode do not matter.
The only other thing I can think of is the use of [ExecuteAlways] meaning you modified the data in edit mode

[grizzled spoke]

Yea I think so too now

thanks for the advice ill be more weary about messing with inspector assigned values in code

[grand snow]

Basically in edit mode that stuff is able to be saved so take care if modifying things then.
You can use Undo to make editor stuff undoable (i forget if things like Odin do this for you with Button)

At runtime (play mode) its not a concern at all (except for assets)

[grizzled spoke]

Woah that seems helpful thanks

[ivory bobcat]

If it's resetting outside of play mode, it may be due to some changes made to the members. For instance, changing the type of something exposed to the inspector would default the value. I don't recall if changing other signatures like the name of the member would though.

[strong wren]

I'm not sure if you are supposed to expect data loss except when renaming without telling Unity what the previous name was

[pastel cave]

I am attempting to create Pong.

Pong has a "spin" mechanic where the ball receives some of the velocity of the paddle when it collides with it.

This requires me to accurately be able to discern when the ball is being hit by the paddle. My thought was to completely disregard RigidBody2D and use the Cast method to get back collider infomation.

However colliders don't seem to collide with objects that don't have both a body and a collider. And RigidBody2D kinematics seems to plow through other kinematics and is entirely unhelpful.

Am I missing something?

I'm aware of full collisions mode on kinematics, but they still penetrate colliders (and even collide with stuff behind them). I'm also aware of Physics.Distance, but It's rather unusable if I don't have complete control over every movement the body makes.

Ideally, I would like a body that collides with everything else in a predictable and sane matter that I have complete control over. That is to say, I can call a method on it and it will go as far as it can in that direction, stop if there is a collision, and report it back.

[ivory bobcat]

A Kinematic Rigidbody 2D can still move via its velocity, but the velocity is not affected by forces or gravity. A Kinematic Rigidbody 2D does not collide with other Kinematic Rigidbody 2Ds or with Static Rigidbody 2Ds and will only collide with Dynamic Rigidbody 2Ds. A Kinematic Rigidbody 2D behaves like an immovable object (as if it has infinite mass) during collisions, and mass-related properties are not available with this Body Type.

[pastel cave]

Yes, I have experienced this firsthand. It is a behavior that I find entirely unhelpful in my situation.

Is there a body that does as described here? #💻┃code-beginner message

The documentation promises something called a CharacterBody in 3D, which is a combination rigidbody and collider.

I have no idea how this thing works, but it implies that building what I want is possible.

Unfortunately unity is closed source so I have zero idea how it functions, and no guarantee that the tools to make it possible are exposed

[rich adder]

You need to code it yourself, and you can still use a dynamic rb but override / control the velocity yourself

there are functions like Vector2.Reflect that are useful

[ivory bobcat]

Hmmm, so you want to move as though it's a kinematic object but want non kinematic collision detection?

[pastel cave]

Non-kinematic collision detection that I can invoke whenever nessicary, yes

Collider2D.Cast is FRUSTRATINGLY close to what I need

[ivory bobcat]

If you're just wanting kinematic behavior for movement, you could have some object with a kinematic rigid body and have some joint to connect it with a non-kinematic object

[pastel cave]

I... See...

Technically I suppose I could do that

It seems like a very roundabout solution for something that I don't imagine is a particularly rare want

Okay, perhaps I'm approaching this from the wrong angle.

How would a unity developer create the spin mechanic in pong?

[pastel cave]

It's looking more and more like Dynamic is wildly more general than I thought it would be.

I could certainly try to force a dynamic body to behave how I would like it to, but the concept of this sounds like a lot of wasted calculation. Not that it would matter for Pong, but I am ATTEMPTING to learn good practice.

[fast fern]

Apparently I forgot to copy the block of code from the if statement, "else if" was repeatedly telling to re-run without randomising the clip, so PreviousClip=RandomClip the whole time without changing

It was simple and it slipped under my nose lmao

if (Clip_Name.Count == 1)
{
    RandomClip = Clip_Name[Random.Range(0, Clip_Name.Count)];
    PlayAnimation(RandomClip, FadeDuration);
}
else if (Clip_Name.Count >=2)
{
    if (PreviousClip == RandomClip)
  RandomClip = Clip_Name[Random.Range(0, Clip_Name.Count)];
    PlayAnimation(RandomClip, FadeDuration);
}```

[cosmic dagger]

there's no reason to use Random.Range inside the first 'if' statement. if there is only one clip, then just assign the first item in the collection . . .

[fast fern]

Oooooh right I did not think about that lol
Thanks

[steady horizon]

Is it normal to use an invisible 3dobject with a onCollisionEnter function to detect collisions or is there a better way of doing it

wait mb

[naive pawn]

is this supposed to be physics based

[hoary ruin]

no i just use a collider for it

[naive pawn]

that's physics...

[hoary ruin]

kk

[naive pawn]

do the player and piston have rigidbodies?

if so, they need to be moved via the rigidbody, not via the transform

[hoary ruin]

piston is the child of the sphere, sphere itself has rigidbody

[fast fern]

Buttons and sounds, make things play sound on click
Simple and might be fun

[naive pawn]

well since the piston has a collider, it should be moved via a rigidbody, but i think ive heard child rigidbodies not going super well. maybe you'd need joints or something

[hoary ruin]

ye when i tried rigidbody on the child it jus broke the game, ty ill try that

[livid anchor]

I have a question about this line of code. Does it copy the list or does it grab a reference to it ?

List<Vector3> tempBoardList = _boardPositions;

[keen dew]

reference

[grand snow]

You can make a new list and pass another as an argument to make a copy

[teal viper]

If the type of the object is a reference type, then you always copy a reference(excluding some exceptions). If the type if a value type, then it's a copy by value.

[livid anchor]

I figured it must have been a reference

[stone glacier]

So i have the basic perlin noise terrain generator from the asset store, how do i make some cave and tunnel?

its easier to maker some cave model, and cut a hole in the terrain?

[grand snow]

If using unity terrain, make a terrain hole https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/Manual/terrain-PaintHoles.html
Then join up some other mesh

Im not going to look at these random scripts you sent though

[stone glacier]

this is a basic perlin map generator xd

can a terrain go to -y?

[grand snow]

Terrain uses height maps which can only go up/down

To make a cave properly you need to use terrain holes to make a hole and then join up a real mesh or other terrain.

[night raptor]

If it is a procedurally generated terrain, I would assume it would be quite difficult to smoothly connect the caves to the terrain holes. Especially if you want to enable terraforming or other such advanced features, you probably want to look for other ways to generate proper 3d terrain like the marching cubes algo.

[solar hill]

Yeah continous terrain generation struggles with caves and overhangs, youre just displacing a plane on the y axis in certain spots

Youre either going to have to do what rob said, cut out a hole and join it up with a cave mesh

Or use discrete voxel based terrain generation, which can create caves and overhangs without issue

Use a small voxel size and some kind of reconstruction algorithm like marching cubes or dual contouring.

[wintry quarry]

looks like your code is trying to access an object from one of the earlier destroyed scenes

without seeing the exact code causing this issue, we can't say much more

but you're probably doing something like having a DDOL object that is keeping direct references to objects in the scene it starts in which is being unloaded

there is a lot of code, I can show you

[wintry quarry]

one very helpful thing would be to see the full error message that you screenshotted above.

It will contain a stack trace telling us the exact file and line number where it's happening

[winged vault]

you mean this?

[wintry quarry]

(when you have it selected the fullmessage will show at the bottom of the console window)

yes

actually this looks like an error in the editor/inspector

like perhaps you had an object selected that was unloaded

[winged vault]

yeah I'm thinking the same because I did this earlier in lesson 1 and now in lesson 2 it happened this, switch from scene 1 to 2 then back to 1 and bam secen 1 doesn't works

but scene 2 works well, I deleted scene 2 but it didn't help

[wintry quarry]

it's really hard to say without seeing your project

the code and scene setup will have some issue

[winged vault]

I can show you no problem

a project contains animals coming down at random directions, player moves left and right and shoots pizza to feed them, if animal and food makes contact they both get destroyed, if animal gets past player animal gets destroyed

should I send screenshots of codes I've written?

!screenshots

No

Be mindful, if someone requests your code as text, don't send a screenshot!

Hello team, I was wondering if anyone has a example script or game source files
