[wintry quarry]

it doesn't look like you adjusted the size and offset of the box as in the tutorial

[radiant sentinel]

i added the componenet i needed to and it hsould work according to them

[naive pawn]

why do you have 3 box colliders

[radiant sentinel]

they had a green box appear but mine wouldnt do that

its just how that came i didnt make it

[wintry quarry]

you probably have gizmos turned off and/or you're not looking at scene view

but since you skipped that step, that' probably why it's not working

[radiant sentinel]

how do i check if gizmos is on

[real thunder]

I mean, each enemy gonna do that about each frame and there gonna be dozens

[night raptor]

Trying in your usecase is only way to really know. I would just assume it isn't too much of a difference. Pretty sure the physics queries do a broad and narrow phase kind of steps eliminating most of the possible collision pairs regardless of the shape

[midnight plover]

top right scene view

[wintry quarry]

with the gizmos button - top right of scene view

[naive pawn]

so with 16ms per frame you could have 16000000 1ns actions per frame

don't worry about perf at this stage. focus on what makes sense

consider the unit behind the clock speed of your processor
that's in the billions

[queen vale]

just wait till we get to picoseconds B)

[radiant sentinel]

ive gotta be blind

[wintry quarry]

show us

we can't help you without seeing

[wintry quarry]

it looks like you've disabled all of your scene view overlays

[radiant sentinel]

this is just how its come installed

[wintry quarry]

press the ~ key in scene view and Turn on "View options", and most of the other ones

[real thunder]

there are even non alloc versions, now making a buffer...

[wintry quarry]

I have all these overlays on by default

[radiant sentinel]

elite thats a bigg difference

[wintry quarry]

I recommend similar

[pastel cave]

does "Connecting" a project from the hub check it out from the unity version control system? I'm confused by this interface. I'd simply like to work on the same project on multiple devices

[wintry quarry]

no

[radiant sentinel]

thanks so much ill give that a go now

[pastel cave]

that's what I was afraid of

[wintry quarry]

Wait what do you mean by "connecting"?

Do you mean "adding"?

[queen vale]

Toggle Gizmos

[wintry quarry]

If you do add from disk, it doesn't do anything with version control.
If you do add from repository, yes it gets connected with version control.

[pastel cave]

this third section

[wintry quarry]

What menu is that 🤔

[pastel cave]

it appears when you press on the project name field in the create project menu

er, "new project" menu

[wintry quarry]

Ok so yeah that creates a project connected to the unity cloud project but that won't create a VCS repository

Are you trying to pull an existing VCS repo?

Or are you trying to create one?

[pastel cave]

as I have said, I'm trying to pull from an existing one

[radiant sentinel]

huzzah has been vanquished thanks so much guys

[wintry quarry]

In Unity hub go to:
Projects -> Add -> Add from repository

[pastel cave]

ahhh, thank you

[undone axle]

I have only ever done WebGL builds of my current project. If i build and then deploy to my website, then I open the link on a macbook laptop in chrome, everything works as expected. But if I open the same URL on chrome on a windows laptop, one single feature does not work! There is a floating platform that moves back and forth and once hit, it plays a sound and dissapears along with teleporting the player. On the windows machien the platform does not dissapear (it does lose its ability to interact with the player). Also the sounds do not play but the user is teleported. Any ideas?

[worn atlas]

Is there anything in the log?

Why I don't see colliders of the terrain when I turn on physics debugger?

[queen vale]

Can't seem to find a way atm, are you having issues with collisions certain areas?

[worn atlas]

I wanted to see if the collision is working, I have no issues now. Just asking

[final ferry]

could anyone show me an example of ParticleSystem.Particle.GetCurrentColor in use? I'm trying to fetch the current color of a particle to get its alpha as it changes over lifetime but it keeps returning (0,0,0,0)

I have a particle system paused mid playback, with a single white particle going from 255 to 0 alpha, and I'm calling the method outside runtime, with an editor button. just trying to grab the color and put into that variable to show it on inspector and see if it works.

code is literally just:

[wintry quarry]

you appear to be reading the color of an uninitialized Particle struct here

You never actually read the particles from the particle system. Wouldn't you need to use this? https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.GetParticles.html

you just made an array of empty particles of the appropriate size, but never initialized them

[final ferry]

but ParticleSystem.GetParticles returns an int

I assumed it was just used for the size

[wintry quarry]

yes

look closer

what's the parameter?

It's the array you want to populate

[final ferry]

ah right

[wintry quarry]

Returns

int The number of particles written to the input particle array (the number of particles currently alive).

[final ferry]

lemme try again

[queen vale]

Is the area in the background the terrain? Did you convert from a mesh?

[final ferry]

it worked. just had to initialize the array first with only the int from maxParticles, then pass it to GetParticles so it does its thing

thanks

[worn atlas]

Yes, it's a generated terrain, which I make in a job, then I generate the mesh, then I create a collider

[queen vale]

So it does have a terraincollider ...?

[worn atlas]

no, it has a mesh collider

[queen vale]

Oh, my bad. I misunderstood. If this is the desired effect you'll want to make sure 'Collision Geometry' is selected.

[queen vale]

And you'll want to be in scene view.

Man, I'm just wrong in every way today.

[worn atlas]

Hmm, I checked collision geometry, but I still don't see any lines

[wintry quarry]

wait isn't the physics debugger for PhysX?

Looks like you're maybe using Unity Physics for DOTS?

Try this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.physics@1.4/manual/component-debug-display.html

[worn atlas]

yes I'm using physics for dots

thanks, that's what I needed

[faint agate]

hey guys, I figured a couple things out but could use some help.
So I have a orb im trying to right click hold and drag only on the x and y axis.
Its 3D first person, the orb doesnt have rigidbody, the script to drag the orb is on a weapon on the player.
The problem is when I drag on the X axis it bounces left and right really fast but is smooth dragging on the Y axis(I dont want it to move on the z axis).
Its not the raycast or a problem with the Y axis from testing. Ill leave the script if anyone would like to test
https://pastecode.dev/s/dy1tl7h5

heres another without smoothdamp
https://pastecode.dev/s/s4nvyu6a

[faint agate]

More testing, On cam orthographic its all smooth, but im using perspective and the x axis is bouncing left and right.

[queen vale]

Wdym by 'bounces'? Like attempts to move but then recenters to horizontal center of screen?

[wintry quarry]

show a video

[faint agate]

okay one sec

my record is randomly not working for the first time lol the timing is so bad

[queen vale]

You using OBS?

[faint agate]

no nvidia replay. I think I found a work around. ima start using obs after this

it compressed so it could send.
also resending script incase

[limber stone]

Hello, I am currently dealing with an issue with particle effects, I have this 1920x1080 render texture that is supposed to only show the particles so that I can layer them on top of my cards which are always culled to be on top. I am having issues however with this render texture displaying because for some reason it displays nothing when mapped to a raw image. Please could I get some help. Thanks for reading.

Also, right after posting this I realized that the values were wonky on the Rect Transform, those are fixed now.

[grand snow]

so you know there is a good solution to draw particles in ugui https://github.com/mob-sakai/ParticleEffectForUGUI

[limber stone]

I'll look into it however I doubt that I will use it. Thanks for the suggestion though!

[faint agate]

i was able to send the clip

[grand snow]

It will be better than needing a large extra texture to draw particles too.
Anyway you can check the render debugger to see if it draws the particles properly but the preview suggests it is

[queen vale]

Was playing around with the script.
You're creating a new plane each frame that you're holding the object. So I tried just using the plane created when you first grab it.

No jitters on my end

[faint agate]

so id remove this from the dragobject()
Plane plane = new Plane(Vector3.forward, currentObject.transform.position);
and add this on top
private Plane DragePlane;
and just use that?

[queen vale]

Almost, thats like 77% of what I did.
During the drag, where it's following your cursor you won't need to continually create planes like you had been, each time the function was called.
I'll send you the updated script, lmk if it works

[faint agate]

okay thank you

[queen vale]

https://pastebin.com/L0a4nNXM - don't forget to fix the class name at the top tho

[limber stone]

In the end I Just made the emission small enough to completely fit in the size of the card, put the emitter in front of the card and the gave it the same layer as the card. The render texture that puts cards in front picks up both of them and puts it in front. Thanks for the help, I will certainly use the tips and tool provided in another project, I just need to finish this by Friday and I don't have the time to learn a new tool at the moment. Thanks for the future help!

[faint agate]

definitely is smoother thank you. do you mind me askin the more smoothtime the more delay I noticed. Is there anyway to have both no delay and smooth or is there no real setup for that in my case

when I have the smoothtime at 0 the sphere goes crazy

[queen vale]

I'd probably recommend .lerp

[queen vale]

SmoothDamp is more of a fade in/fade out kind of curve, whereas lerp is linear.

And yea the more with smoothtime, you're effectively telling it how long it must take to reach it's destination.
Or if you wanna do smoothtime, set it to it's lowest 0.0001 and see if you like it

[faint agate]

the orb goes crazy lol ima try the lerp

[queen vale]

Third idea, `smoothTime of 0.015' & replace

currentObject.transform.position = newPosition;

with

if ((currentObject.transform.position - targetPosition).magnitude > 0.03f)
            currentObject.transform.position = newPosition;

Anything to do with networking is not a beginner issue.

[viral lake]

oh shoot I dont have that channel added sorry!

[faint agate]

this is on those changes

[queen vale]

uhhhhh mine aint working like that
Did you make that change at the bottom of the drag function

[faint agate]

yea

if theres anything youd like to ask about my setup feel free

[grand snow]

An improvement would be to get the component anyway and check if its null or not

tags are pretty useless when a component does the job better

[queen vale]

Just noticed I forgot to remove my debuglog and now your console is getting spammed. my bad, it's at the bottom of update.

[faint agate]

lol its okay

[faint agate]

i have tried with layers and same thing

[sour fulcrum]

they didnt mention layers

[grand snow]

Well we use layers for other things like physics and controlling what a camera can see for example

[queen vale]

I think they're saying instead if comparetag, use getcomponent.
But yea, this jittering is still occurring.

[sour fulcrum]

if (finishHit.collider.TryGetComponent(out OrbDragGoal))
  isDragging = false;
  currentObject = null;
  return;

you can just use a component check as a tag check and ignore tags altogether

components are basicially just tags with more potential information and usage

[grand snow]

Indeedy

[rich adder]

{ }

[sour fulcrum]

truing

[queen vale]

Welp, go back to the previous version, idk why when we switched to lerp & magnitude it went back to going haywrie.

[faint agate]

okay I switched to getcomponent and did a debug to make sure it worked

im still testing with lerp and damp my brain is baffled

it also seem to be the further I am the worse it gets

[grand snow]

how are you using lerp?

many people abuse lerp when better options exist such as Vector3.MoveTowards()

[faint agate]

Vector3 newPosition = Vector3.Lerp(
currentObject.transform.position,
targetPosition,
speed * Time.deltaTime
);

[grand snow]

Yea you want to use MoveTowards to keep going towards some goal

[faint agate]

got you

[faint agate]

its still movin left and right dragging down

[hallow sun]

I'm replacing some of my Singletons with Static Classes because its basically the same and skips Instantiation and its potential issues.

Lemme know if this is actually super bad for X or Y reason that I wouldn't know unless I read some obscure forum post about it.

[swift crag]

a static class is appropriate if you have no interest in Unity lifecycle functions, like Start, Update, or OnDestroy

[hallow sun]

👍 This is for managers that register items and do some operations so I think I'm good

[grand snow]

Config Manager that loads from say json? perfect use of a static manager

[sour fulcrum]

And handling coroutines

[grand snow]

Async solves that!

[hallow sun]

augh, can't run Coroutines on static, but its just a short rewrite anyways

[swift crag]

coroutines are executed by a specific unity object

[grand snow]

UniTask or Awaitable fully replace coroutines and can do more

[sour fulcrum]

But can they run coroutines

[grand snow]

Unitask can

I personally avoid coroutines so its no bother to me but UniTask has great features relating to coroutines

Awaitable is meh and half baked but functional

[night raptor]

Was there some problem with static fields not getting restarted to their default values after scene loading? Or was it just a thing with the fast playmode editor options?

[hallow sun]

I'm just using the coroutine for detecting a "pause" and waiting for that variable to turn false, easy 2 min fix.

[grand snow]

Without domain reload this happens yes. They also remain post play

you would need code that uses editor events to reset them

[sour fulcrum]

Or logic that doesn’t require them to be reset

[sour fulcrum]

We’re gonna get an attribute for that soon iirc

[night raptor]

Yeah, definitely worth knowing when considering between singleton and static class, when that's not an issue either, definitely go for a static class

[grand snow]

the runtime init on load ones would work already for this

[sour fulcrum]

No as in an attribute you put on the fields

[grand snow]

Anyway soon ™️we will get super fast reloading yay

[grand snow]

Oh that sounds cool

[sour fulcrum]

Ya it’s how core clr workflow will work for reducing enter times

well some of it anyway

Just easier way to do the workflow people are already doing with reloads disabled and their own management

[night raptor]

I'm starting to get interested in that core clr stuff that I have been hearing a lot but never looked much into 🙂

[grand snow]

Ill be honest it doesnt sound great, how can sbox have incredible hot reload speed but unity cant do the same?

[sour fulcrum]

Comes out this year so not much wait

[solar hill]

s&box's hot reload is a miracle tbh

Its virtually instant in a lot of cases

It was born entirely out of facepunch's frusturation with unity domain reload and compile times

[grand snow]

Yea its amazing so I expect unity to do the same or better. Surely they can afford a few smart devs to make it?

[solar hill]

Im expecting Unity to start considering s&box as an actual competitor,

which is going to be beneficial for everyone in the long run

s&box still has some great qol stuff unity could use, hot reload was one of them

[sour fulcrum]

Can it do non pc platforms?

[solar hill]

right now it cant do any platforms to be fair

its stuck within their own game ecosystem kinda like roblox

the biggest issue is licensing and valve, but they are still figuring things out

[livid socket]

is that released yet?

[solar hill]

Its been out for a couple of years now yes

[grand snow]

I miss the early days when it was basically s2 with c# shoved in there

[twilit olive]

quick question. whats the best practice now—async/await or coroutines?

or different cases for each

[timber tide]

does s&box even have proper licensing yet

can you even build on consoles with it

[solar hill]

as answered above

no

[timber tide]

thing just looks like unity with imgui* plastered on it

[timber tide]

yeah well those two are a pretty big deal and I doubt valve would budge with licensing lol

[solar hill]

Well Valve had no reason to give them a source 2 license to begin with

so who knows

[timber tide]

better to see godot at the competition as you can crank out stylized games pretty easy and toss em on steam

[rich adder]

async is usually preferable esp for Internet calls but also depends, you might need coroutine for Unity specific compatibility
they have awaitable that kinda mashes some functions from coroutines like await unity time

[solar hill]

Godot is still far behind in a lot of things

its nice, and i like that its open source

[timber tide]

it is, but let's be serious. If you're looking for realistic lighting you're probably using unreal

[solar hill]

Not at all

[sour fulcrum]

godot and roblox are way closer competitors ye

[timber tide]

Godot's weakest is the pipeline and rendering that's for sure, but if you're not trying to create anything too artsy then it works fine. Mobile games come to mind and other minimal artistical games have been produced with it.

Unity is the jack of all trades. It does everything pretty easily, but since it has to support so much stuff the development is so split.

[solar hill]

what about it is split?

you mean the pipelines?

[timber tide]

SRP split trying to encourge higher quality games, yeah. Even DOTS id say took away from the general URP/Gameobject workflow

[solar hill]

they are doing away with the pipleline split

which is good

dots is an alternative really, its also the less popular option so i honestly wouldnt say its "splitting" anything

[timber tide]

I would been honestly fine if they did abandon gameobjects and forced dots lol

[sour fulcrum]

homie

[timber tide]

Well, I'll let you know right now. DOTS have the better character controllers, it has the better networking solution

So many modules that are just generally better than what you get with game objects

They hired the dude who made the kinematic character controller

[solar hill]

If they remove gameeobjects and force DOTS, it will basically kill Unity's market presence for beginners

[sour fulcrum]

i think you severely underestimate the value of the gameobject workflow to people

also can dots use the canvas based ui stuff?

[timber tide]

I'm not saying the workflow is bad. I'm just talking about how the split with these modules have moved so much high quality work around

Unity loves to have multiples solutions to one problem

[solar hill]

Why are you saying that like its a bad thing

having more choice and variety in how you approach problems is a good thing

[timber tide]

I'm pretty sure more people would be happy if they developed UGUI more out instead of developing UIToolkit

[solar hill]

Imo they are better off just abandoning UGUI and getting UIToolkit perfected

[timber tide]

I agree

[sour fulcrum]

what makes you say that

[solar hill]

S&box also has an entirely Razor based ui similliar to the uitoolkit and its a major plus for the engine

who would have thought that a markup language is good for designing UI

everybody

[timber tide]

UGUI needs to be redone completely. The whole resizing of elements isn't intuitive and flexbox support is half-arsed

[sour fulcrum]

UGUI being redone completely is UIToolkit(?)

[timber tide]

Yeah, but going back to my argument of multiple solutions to one problem.

[zenith cypress]

Just give me a modern imgui instead, I despise retained modes 😔 (can PanGui release soon)

[solar hill]

I dont see UGUI ever getting depreciated, but its almost certainly rearing end of life time support

[sour fulcrum]

that's just the reality of being an engine that is used for such diverse and long lasting projects

[timber tide]

They actually did threaten to remove it in a previous talk, but everyone complained and they actually had quite a few updates in the previous release

[sour fulcrum]

you said people would prefer they update UGUI rather than develop uitoolkit, i don't really get that

[timber tide]

UGUI is just easier to jump into which is why I was saying more devs would be happy to use it over dealing with html/css garbo

[sour fulcrum]

i mean if ui toolkit was further developed it could be easier to jump into

i'm learning ui toolkit and i'm not doing any of the html and css shit

[timber tide]

Yeah that is true. The GUI itself for it does provide some help, but you end up copy/pasting templates after getting frustrated at times

My biggest gripe with it is the extra boilerplate when connecting properties to unity's editor

[brave hound]

hi guys, am i able to give an ml agent a timeout when going over the line in a 2v2 game?

#1202574086115557446

[final trellis]

I have these 4 enums and was wondering how I could have it so that if you select the same option as another enum, the other one is set to None

( so like, if I set _attribute2 to Damage, but _attribute1 is already Damage, _attribute1 gets set to None

[sour fulcrum]

What part of this problem are you struggling with

[final trellis]

how to do that in general ( i know how to do it in runtime, but this is for the inspector )

[timber tide]

Probably want to just use OnValidate if you don't want to deal with Editor library tools

[sour fulcrum]

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

[timber tide]

I would think a bitwise enum would be fine too

unity has support for those to display

[final trellis]

wasthat?

[timber tide]

multiselect enum basically

[final trellis]

even if it diddnt, odin inspector SWEEEP GRAHHHH

[final trellis]

oh hell yeah

is there a way to limit how many are selected?

[timber tide]

ah, actually you'd probably need to validate that too lol

[final trellis]

how would you count how many are selected?

[timber tide]

check how many bits are set

[final trellis]

that was what i was thinking, but was asking incase there was a function to do so by default

[timber tide]

so onvalidate would be if current enum bits are more than allowed then set to previous enum value

[sour fulcrum]

bit stuff is black magic just google and people will have easy solutions for that kinda stuff

[final trellis]

its just 0s and 1s, how hard could it be? /s

dammit i was tryna send the 'thousand yard stare' gif

is there a max amount of bits for a bitwise enum?

[wintry quarry]

you mean like a [Flags] enum?

[final trellis]

yeah

[dapper heath]

Probably 32 as it's integer backed right?

[wintry quarry]

64 bits

you can make a long or ulong backed enum, which are 64 bits

[sour fulcrum]

but at that point might be worth considering other solutions like scriptableobjects

[final trellis]

i could always just make a 2nd enum and validate them both against eachother, but that would prob be scuffed as fuck

but yes anyways thanks :3

[heady heart]

I'm trying to make an easy way to create skills in my game in a way that can scale with many skills and is easy to add stats for each skill (Level scaling, requirements, etc.). I tried making a struct called Skill which can take the skills stats as an input and then created a script called SkillsHandler attached to the player which would dictate skill behavior. However, I cant add the skill prefab to skills handler, and im assuming it has something to do with the fact that the Gameobject rend is static? how do i get around that?

[grand snow]

its not a member variable so that wont work will it?

But you can just load a prefab via Resources or Addressables to solve this

[wintry quarry]

you're using static variables, why?

[heady heart]

It throws an error when I try not to

[wintry quarry]

Also your skill type is not [Serializable] so it can't show up in the unity inspector anyway

[wintry quarry]

"an error" is pretty vague

how about you share the actual error

[wintry quarry]

use Awake

void Awake() {
  rend.prefab = rendPrefab;
}```

[polar acorn]

You can't use member variables outside of a function

[heady heart]

can you explain it in simpler terms for me?

[wintry quarry]

He means you have to do it like in my example

[polar acorn]

You've made a variable rendPrefab. You can't use that variable outside of a function.

[wintry quarry]

but actually you shouldn't do either

you should expose it in the inspector

and assign it there

[heady heart]

How do I do that?

[wintry quarry]

For that to work your struct needs to have [Serializable]

[heady heart]

ok I will read the serializable documentation

thanks guys

[wintry quarry]

reading the documentation isn't going to help you

you just need to apply the attribute to the struct definition

[heady heart]

well I would like to understand what it does anyways so ill watch a yt vid or smth

[grand snow]

fun fact: programming languages have lots of documentation in text form

[wintry quarry]

Read this https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/script-serialization-rules.html

[wintry quarry]

The attribute is a built in C# attribute - you need to know how it works in the Unity context. This page will tell you ^

Namely this part

[heady heart]

ok thanks for the help

[elfin pike]

How you protect important saved data? Example, player stats

[rich adder]

at least being on a server

[swift crag]

If the data lives on the player's device? You don't

you need to store the data on something you control

and you also need to ensure that the player can't submit completely ridiculous data

"I just killed 23 billion enemies" should not be accepted

[elfin pike]

Singleplayer game

Right now everything in json

[swift crag]

If you want to at least make it annoying to cheat your stats, encrypt the file that stores the stats.

The player will be able to extract this key from the game, by definition

The game has to be able to decrypt the stats file

[grand snow]

Yea you can make it harder but cannot prevent it

I did my own thing years ago to decode phasmaphobia saves, was quite easy

[elfin pike]

Nothing is safe. Question how easy it is to do it

[solar hill]

honestly for singleplayer games i see no reason to lose any sleep over it

if people want to cheat in your singleplayer game, let them

[elfin pike]

I know, but small encoding wouldn't hurt to prevent average Joe to finish game in seconds

[sour fulcrum]

Who cares if average joe finishes the game in seconds

[solar hill]

Do you think the "average Joe" is typically cheating in singleplayer indie games they play?

[elfin pike]

If you can go in and change number in txt, why not

[solar hill]

[frosty hound]

Why do you feel the need to exact control over what someone does with their time, is the real question here.

How Im going to mine bitcoin. XD joke

[analog cypress]

im having an issue with my targetlock script. originally just to test if it would work i did a private gameobject target and set it to look for gameobject with a set tag in a void start and a void update of transform.lookat(target.transform.position) and it did work centering itself to look at the entity at all times. But now i wanted to make it when the player has their mouse over the entity with the tag and presses a key it locks on. And unfortunately it hasnt worked: ive tried void OnMouseOver and just tried looking for the set tag and i even have a onmouseover debug and that works displayed a message in the console with mouse over works. Im wondering if i have to take a different approach to how im meant to write it and if anyone would be able to help me

On your player's script you could do something along the lines of raycast like swortech was mentioning.

// As opposed to OnMouseOver
private void Update()
{
  if(Physics.Raycast(...))
  {
    if(hit.collider.GetComponent<TheEnemyScript>() && Input.getkeydown(...));
        hit.collider.GetComponent<TheEnemyScript>().LookAndReactFunction();
  }
}

[vapid aurora]

Do not use OnMouseOver. It is inefficient and depends on the
context Use a Raycast from the camera to the mouse position within
Update Then check the tag and, if it's Input GetKeyDown, assign the goal
Clean up your logic

you need to fix your ide before anything

[analog cypress]

im not sure how to fix my ide i read it over the first time and updated to the newest version like it said and i thought that would be enough to fix it but i can go over it again if anything.

[queen vale]

this

[analog cypress]

and i understood everything except assign the goal what did you mean by that?

[queen vale]

pretty sure, essentially what im saying here *
'Once all conditions are met, tell it what it needs to do (goal)'

[analog cypress]

oh ok got it

thank you

and is there a way to see if my ide is fixed?

[sour fulcrum]

this wont be white

[vapid aurora]

Assigning the target means: target = object hit don't go around so many times and check the variable

[analog cypress]

yeah idk why its not working i tried the help forum that Oz sent but it didnt even give me the option for Editor Attaching and i tried to make sure that all the options were checked and it didnt make a difference when i went back to open the code i had MonoBehaviour is still white and i tried making a brand new C# script it didnt include it and when i tried making a MonoBehaviour Script it still was white. and i did hit to regenerate project files already too.

[rich adder]

you dont have to have all those checked off..

[bitter pine]

this may be a stupid question but, is there a way to make a kind of properties component for a gameobject without using a script?

[subtle mulch]

no?

[sour fulcrum]

components are instances of scripts

[bitter pine]

ah thank you

should i just make scripts and give them variables?

[subtle mulch]

yes

[bitter pine]

alr then

[subtle mulch]

public vars or private vars that you force serialize

[real thunder]

Now I faced a choice, do I make bullets triggers or not? 🤔

Is there an obvious answer?

[naive pawn]

no (there's not an obvious answer), there's also the option of raycasts

[real thunder]

in my current game player shoot raycasts and bullets just trace that, however enemies meant to shoot fast projectiles

[queen vale]

The inspector window B)

[bitter pine]

huh

[real thunder]

is it even possible to make bullets capable of penetrating if they ain't triggers?
at least ain't triggers for enemies

[queen vale]

I am a bit confused though, why would you want to 'get' a component of a gameobject without a script?. WAIT WAIT. ye i read it wrong

[bitter pine]

i meant like assign values to a object without having to make a script

[queen vale]

I need sleep but the first thing that comes to mind would probably be a scriptableobject, but that requires scripting soo : | idk, sorry.

[bitter pine]

yeah dont worry about it, have a good sleep!

[eternal needle]

thats what a trigger would be for, or some manual physics query

[stuck parrot]

Hey, Im a beginner in unity and coding and I cant figure out what causes this issue. when I move, the player "tilts" but that results in the player tilt over sometimes and just laying on the ground. There is also an issue with the wall clipping as you can se at the end. The room is build out of different tiles, each one has a box collider and the player has an rigidbody as well as an box collider (even tho a capsule sollider suits the mesh better, the player keeps falling over when i dont use a box collider there. If it helps, heres my player controller script ```csharp using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.InputSystem;

public class PlayerControl : MonoBehaviour
{
// creating variables
GameInputs control;
Rigidbody rb;
Vector2 moveInput;
float speed = 5.0f;

void Awake()
{
    control = new GameInputs();
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}


void Update()
{
    moveInput = control.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
}


void FixedUpdate()
{
    // Movement
    Vector3 direction = new Vector3(moveInput.x, 0f, moveInput.y);
    rb.MovePosition(rb.position + direction * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
}


void OnEnable()
{
    control.Enable();
}


void OnDisable()
{
    control.Disable();
}

}```

Hey gang currently looking for a mentor of sorts, I have a solid game idea and have done some tutorials now to teach myself some basics and think im ready to commit myself to the project more but would like someone to help with some more experience and make sure the way of doing things im doing isnt total bs, im looking to make a 2.5D pirate single player game that follows a loose story, if anyone with experience in that sort of field is around i would love a 5 min discord chat

[tawny sandal]

im new in unity and trying to do something from learn.unity or something, wich one do i do and where do i start?

[midnight plover]

you can limit the rigidbodies axis to only rotate around y for example, so it cant fall over to the sides.

[radiant sentinel]

depends on your project i jsut started also but i knew i wanted to make a pixel art esk 2d 2.5 d game so i found a game kit tutorial

[midnight plover]

I guess, the unity essentials will be the first pathway to follow

"New to Unity? This guided learning Pathway includes everything you need to get started."

[stuck parrot]

I highly recommend trying out unitys own tutorials, they are a good starting point in my opinion

[tawny sandal]

thanks i found it

2 weeks is a long time but its prolly worth it

[dawn patrol]

hello guys

[errant breach]

Hey guys, quick question.
I don't understand why i can't access the "scoreManager" values. neither "test", neither "score".

` [Header("References")]
public ScoreManager scoreManager;

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
    if (other.gameObject.tag == "EnemyProjectile" && secretInvincibilityTime <= 0 && !isDead)

    {
        if (scoreManager.life - 1 > 0)
        {
            // If still has health
            playerMovement.isFreezed = true;
            scoreManager.life -= 1;
 ...`

Error : Member 'ScoreManager.life' cannot be accessed with an instance reference; qualify it with a type name instead
I tried looking on the web to fix the issue, without understanding...

Do someone know how to fix it please ? Thank you ! I want to access the player's life

[sour fulcrum]

static means it belongs to the "class", not a "instance" of the class

eg. you would want ScoreManager (the class) not scoreManager (your reference to an instance of the class)

[errant breach]

My gawd again you got me, quick, precise. Thank you ! <3

[north kiln]

These variables shouldn't be static, you should be accessing the class via the singleton you've got, ScoreManager.instance instead

[errant breach]

Oh thank you for telling me that !

[hexed terrace]

[errant breach]

Sorry for the mistake, i will !

[real thunder]

So I am trying to use Physics.ComputePenetration
how do I get access to the collider's position and rotation?

I guess position is techincally bounds.center

and rotation is... you can't rotate them right? get one from their transform?

[real thunder]

this is pretty annoying, so this is a projectile-trigger hitting a torso
how do I even get the normal of this ""collision""
I tried to trace Raycast from a projectile position
Using info from Physics.ComputePenetration, doesn't work, sometimes the projectile is too deep for a meaningful result
I tried Collider.ClosestPoint from projectile center but if it's inside it seems to return transform.position

[worn veldt]

Elo, I'm following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BleaG3md1zY&list=PLgXA5L5ma2BuXG5L_hcXKc8RU2gNVdQ6F&index=7

I have created the scriptable object like the tutorial says to, and I have created the prefab, and my prefab type is a game object, and the prefab input needs a game object, but when I select it out of the list it says "Type mismatch"

Does anyone know why this is happening/how to fix it?

Attached is a screenshot of the code, and menu and problem.

[wintry quarry]

When you select it out of what list?

[worn veldt]

The list that comes up when you click the dot icon next to the area where it says "Type mismatch"

[wintry quarry]

That's your issue

you're trying to assign a reference to a scene object on an asset (the SO)

assets cannot reference objects from inside scenes

The prefab is not in the scene

the prefab is the one that's in your assets folder

reference the prefab, not a copy of it from the scene

[worn veldt]

ohh I just dragged it from the folder, it works now, sorry idk why I didnt think of that, thank you :)

[real thunder]

alright, tracing from the previous frame position to the current other.ClosestPoint(transform.position) seem to work

so much hassle for basic projectiles smh

does this line make sense as a check so mobs not hit themselves?

if (victim is BaseMobAI && victim as BaseMobAI == base_mob_ai) return;

victim might as well be a player or stationary object so

[ivory bobcat]

More context would help

[grand snow]

You dont need to cast to perform a reference equals but yes it will work

[grand snow]

classes do a reference equals comparison by default

[real thunder]

I guess I ignore that?

[grand snow]

Is victim and base_mob_ai both a class type then? or somethin else?

You can also do ReferenceEquals() to explicitly compare if 2 things are the same by ref

If one is an Interface this can often prompt such a warning

[real thunder]

yeah one is an interface

https://paste.myst.rs/zagvmqn4
context (mostly) but you probably don't have to check it

everything are classes except the victim

[grand snow]

Ah then if one is a struct you cant compare accuratly unless you pass this via ref or keep it as the interface type and rely on boxing to ref compare.

A unique id is a nice and more reliable solution

[real thunder]

I haven't really thought I can use interface with structs

lucky I ain't doing it so I won't face issues

so I see in some cases that comparsion may actually break

alright ugh now I need someone to explain why my code works while it shouldn't

public void FixedUpdate()
    {
        previous_pos = my_collider.bounds.center;
    }

I got this bit

public void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log(previous_pos + " " + my_collider.bounds.center);
        Debug.DrawLine(previous_pos, my_collider.bounds.center);
        Debug.DrawRay(my_collider.bounds.center, Vector3.up, Color.red);
        Debug.Break();
    }

and this bit

according to the order of execution FixedUpdate executes before OnTriggerEnter

so I would expect previous_pos to be the same as my_collider.bounds.center inside OnTriggerEnter

however it still uses previous previous_pos and everything works

[wintry quarry]

it's:

• FixedUpdate
• Physics simulation (things move)
• OnTriggerEnter

so they would be different, no?

(sorry i'm jumping in with not much context)

[real thunder]

I got it now

so "internal physics update" means... everything does their things

I am surprised only now I stumbled upon that fact

that fixed update before that and collisions after

[pallid pier]

Hi!! I need some help. Is it possible to make my character "die" after the health bar (slider) go to 0? Like, restart or something?

[subtle mulch]

well, yes ofc

you just have to code it in...

[pallid pier]

That's the point... I don't know how to do it

[subtle mulch]

well, we didn't make your game

just reload the scene in case

[pallid pier]

Que listo eres no?

[subtle mulch]

huh?

pls speak english

[pallid pier]

What do I have to code to make that happen?

[subtle mulch]

well, check when health is 0

then do stuff...

[pallid pier]

venga va

[subtle mulch]

huh??

can you pls speak english

[pallid pier]

"then do stuff"

I don't know what do I have to code, that's why i'm asking for help (if anyone knows) 😞

[subtle mulch]

idk what your game does or should do

so idk how to help

[pallid pier]

Maybe you could ask like a normal person and not being rude

Maybe

[subtle mulch]

i'm not being rude...

[pallid pier]

Ok

Can I send pictures right?

Wait a sec

[subtle mulch]

i'm just saying that we literally cannot help bc we don't know how the code you made works

or how it should behave when restarting

[subtle mulch]

yes, but i don't see how they could help here

[pallid pier]

When the lemon touch the plate, the health decreases

And the code, let me check rq

[pallid pier]

Then what do you THINK do I need to send

[subtle mulch]

well, in the decrease health function check when it is 0 or less

[subtle mulch]

to be able to fully help: a full in depth explanation of what should happen and prob all the code

[pallid pier]

Okay, I didn't know!

Omw

[subtle mulch]

ok well, what you don't understand first of all

and how should the game restart?

like, what needs to change?

[pallid pier]

This is the last part of the code

[subtle mulch]

well ok

[pallid pier]

My teacher sometimes sent us the code and we copy it because we didn't have enough time in class

So i don't really understand many things

I tried looking at the pdf's she sent

[subtle mulch]

well, the first step should be understanding it then

[pallid pier]

Im

trying

[subtle mulch]

first understand it, then try to continue

also right there, you have the spot where to execute death logic

[pallid pier]

"You have the spot where to execute death logic"

Que tío mas cuajao colega

[subtle mulch]

i don't understand your language...

here is the spot...

[pallid pier]

i know dude 😭 but i don't understand what can i do

delete //?

add something

[subtle mulch]

you can do everything

idk what the game should do

[pallid pier]

ou

[subtle mulch]

we literally cannot help

[pallid pier]

no gifs then

venga

va

gracias

payaso

[subtle mulch]

ok well, if you insult me, then i def won't help

i do understand something, ok?

bc it's similar to my language

[real hatch]

//Death

What does that do?

[subtle mulch]

<@&502884371011731486> you prob wanna look into him

[subtle mulch]

he doesn't know...

he is asking help for that afaik

[elfin pike]

Could it be that code is generated and bot placed comment there

[subtle mulch]

well, they said their professor sent code

and they copy paste it

so that may be the reason why the comment is there

[frosty hound]

It's already been mentioned that this is an English only server. If you're also going to throw a tantrum, then please leave.

[subtle mulch]

also, he insulted me in his language

you can translate it to verify

[frosty hound]

Hence the tantrum part. But they left anyway

[subtle mulch]

oh they left?

lol

[elfin pike]

So, his homework is to implement death() ?

[subtle mulch]

maybe?

but he didn't know what the game needed to do on death

so he was basically asking us to help him understand what death had to do...

[elfin pike]

Simple version is to reset scene,
harder would be to reset health (also update UI) and move player to location you need

[subtle mulch]

Yeah, i basically said it at the start

Tho i don't know what the game had to do on death

If there was any requirement

[elfin pike]

Don't bother, he got banned or left

[subtle mulch]

He left seems like

Does somebody know whether Awake will be called in such a circumstances?

var spawned = Instantiate(prefab, inactiveParent);
// Is Awake called if spawned.enabled = true, spawned.gameObject.activeSelf = true but spawned.gameObject.activeInHierarhy = false

[silver gyro]

Hello! Is ok to ask questions about concepts here? Or is this mainly a bug help type channel?

[lone ruin]

It says in the channel description Ask questions and discuss anything related to beginner coding concepts in Unity so I think yeah

[silver gyro]

Oh w

[wintry quarry]

Your example isn't really possible because that Instantiate call will not create the instance with any parent objects

so if activeSelf is true, then activeInHierarchy will also be true

I believe if it's not active in hierarchy when spawned, e.g. if you did Instantiate(prefab, someDeactivatedObject) then no I don't think Awake runs, but this is pretty trivial to test for yourself

[lone ruin]

Oh, I'm sorry it's wrong example. It should have parent when instantiating.

[lone ruin]

Just checked and it's not called. It's pretty strange in my opinion

[frail hawk]

what are you trying to achive actually?

[wintry quarry]

Well, that is behaving as per the doc, so yeah.

Generally it's pretty easy to avoid instntiating anything as deactivated though

[lone ruin]

Will instantiating without parent and then immediate parenting work?

[wintry quarry]

again what are you trying to accomplish

i mean probably yes but there are probably cleaner ways to do it

[lone ruin]

Awake must be already called after Instantiate

[lone ruin]

var spawned = Instantiate(prefab);
// Awake is already called
SomeOtherThing();

[queen adder]

Oh sorry ok

[lone ruin]

@wintry quarry good cat by the way

[wintry quarry]

Not really, I literally just had to remove him from jumping on my computer

[silver gyro]

ok so question, Im trying to make a perk system for my game, I was going to implement it like a inventory system so I was learning about different ways of going about it. I was looking at using hash tables or lists, and it might sound like a dumb question but why would you ever use a list over a hash table?

[wintry quarry]

Lists are ordered

hash tables are not

They also tend to use less storage, since you don't need to separately store a key

I guess you mean - in the context of an inventory?

[silver gyro]

yeah

[silver gyro]

but this makes sense

[wintry quarry]

You would use a list when you plan to access the inventory via numerical index

HashTable makes sense only if you plan to access it by some key

basically it depends what you are doing with the inventory and your planned access patterns

[silver gyro]

that makes a lot more sense thxs for the explanation

[wintry quarry]

For example if you are using "stacks" of items in your inventory and you expect to frequently be accessing the inventory by adding or removing from existing stacks, it could be faster to use a HashMap. For example if you use hashtable and want to add one apple to the list, it's O(1) to find existing apple stack and add to it.But for a list it's O(n) to find an existing apple stack

if there are no stacks and you always add a new item to the end, you can just use a list

You may need both - stacks and ordering, in which case you might use a list anyway, or some combination of both - a list as the canonical data with a hashtable for optimized lookups

[pine garden]

Question: i create instance of gameobject based by a scriptable object and i would like to when i instantiate them, changing their value or add prefix/subfix by random. What the structure would look like?

[wintry quarry]

changing their value or add prefix/subfix by random
Can you elaborate on this? What do you mean by "changing their value"? What value? Prefix or suffix to what?

[pine garden]

Ok
I have a item scriptableobject who have value such as damage,fire rate, level and rarity.

Like in PoE or diablo. The weapon can have additional bonus as prefix and suffix (+dmg,+crit rate,elemental dmg,etc).

Logically, the weapon will scale (in damage) with the level of the item

When i instantiate item now, it only pick the base value of the item.

[wintry quarry]

Make a list of possible prefixes

and select one at random

You can use a weighted random selection algorithm if you want some to be rarer than others. (google it)

You can use ScriptableObjects to define the prefixes too

like maybe the "Heavy" prefix applies additional 10% damage, or whatever

the overall system you're discussing can be pretty complex, so this is just a small simplified piece

[frail hawk]

instead of changing the values at run time ( which you shouldn´t) you could replace the items with a new Scriptable object

so you would have different scripable objects for one item

[wintry quarry]

oh sure - certainly don't change the SOs at runtime. Usually you want an SO and then a runtime data model which the SO can create

[sleek pelican]

I'm making a horror game, and I'm stuck on a part where I have a doll/monster that's watching over me, and when I look at it, it disappears. But I've found a bug. When I look at the closed door and then in the direction of the monster, it disappears, and I don't want that. I want the player to see it in more detail; there's an event in the room where the lights start flickering, indicating that the player has to do something.

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like your raycast for detecting if the player is looking at the monster isn't including other non-monster objects (in this case the door) in its mask, OR the code logic isn't properly differentiating such objects from the monster itself

}

[sleek pelican]

sorry

Im new

Im really sorry

[wintry quarry]

Can you verify the layers that your door and your monster have?

[sleek pelican]

Layer Monster is Monstro and Layer of Door is Default

[wintry quarry]

Also because I don't speak the language I'm not sure if this code is supposed to be for hiding the monster or showing it

[sleek pelican]

wait I will translate

[wintry quarry]

nah it's ok - I got enough

[wintry quarry]

Ok so yeah - your raycast is only looking for the monster

that means it will pass right through the door

and it will see the monster through the door

What you need to do is a raycast that hits the walls and the doors also

So like:

int mask = LayerMask.GetMask("Default", nomeDaLayerMonstro);
// Do your raycast here...
if (Physics.SphereCast(..., out hit, 15f, mask) && hit.collider.gameObject.layer == LayerMask.NameToLayer(nomeDaLayerMonstro)) {
  // We hit the monster
}```

This way if we hit the door that is blocking the monster, we don't treat it like we hit the monster

[sleek pelican]

Ok Im gonna try

He gives me a error on ...

Sequence of caracteres not allowed "..."

[wintry quarry]

This is not exact code

I was showing an example

you have to write the real code

[sleek pelican]

oh ok

I was thinking in another thing maybe the capsule collider is not high enough

Because its very very small as you can is in the foot

[wintry quarry]

I mean.. yes your object has scaling issues

you definitely want to fix that

[sleek pelican]

How can I fix

What I need to do I dont know nothing about configure capsule collider I just put

[cosmic quail]

in blender fix the character's scale and apply all transforms on it

[elfin pike]

Want to make branched level unlocking with requirements.

Abstract requirement class with check function.
List nodes with object id's and requirements array. When I'm going check and save levels, there will be unlocked levels and next levels to unlock.

How does it sound?

[grand snow]

If you need to override requirement checking yes, otherwise it could just all be data and done the same for all

but this is hardly a beginner topic

okay

does anyone understand why the enemy just freezes in place?

[wintry quarry]

Probably this?

        if (bulletSpawner.burstActive)
        {
            movementSpeed = 0f; 
        }```

[spice roost]

have you read the entire code?

[wintry quarry]

yes

[solar hill]

also your direction Random.range(-1f, 1f); is probably returning very small values

if this is a 2d game i see no reason why you shouldnt use ints here, to define either left or right

you dont have partially left or partially right

[wintry quarry]

that too

[spice roost]

yes it causes pretty odd movement but that isn't the cause

[solar hill]

also slightly unrelated but whats the point of setting movement speed as a serialized field when youre overriding it in fixedupdate with hardcoded values?

[solar hill]

Did you debug burstActive?

[spice roost]

not updated code

it was relevant earlier

[wintry quarry]

Have you actually done any debugging? Seems like the most obvious culprit is the line setting the speed to 0

[solar hill]

if you completely remove that line does your enemy move?

if so then its almost certainly your burstActive state.

[wintry quarry]

the logic in the BulletSpawner is pretty confusing/overcomplicated

so I wouldn't be too surprised if burstActive is getting stuck on

especially since you're essentially setting it to true every time you fire

[spice roost]

he does move yes but the point of burstActive is to enable movement when it's false and restrict movement when it's true

[wintry quarry]

and it never gets set false except in a coroutine that doesn't run until theere are 1000 bullets

[spice roost]

yeah

[wintry quarry]

right well, sounds like it's true when you don't expect it to be

do some debugging

it's really not worth speculating when we can just debug the code

[spice roost]

once bullet count reaches 1000, the enemy stop sending bullets and a coroutine sets isBurst to false, in which case movementSpeed should be 0.5f but it doesnt

okay sure

I am not super comfortable with debugging but I guess I gotta learn to do that

[wintry quarry]

debugging doesn't necessarily mean "using the debugger"

it can just mean printing logs

you can just log whenever you set burstActive to true or false

and when you set movement speed to 0

[spice roost]

right I'll try that

figured it out

I assumed Unity would know what BulletSpawner was in MonsterMovement.cs

but apparently I had to drop the gameobject in there too

[solar hill]

why would you assume this

you didnt assign it anywhere in your code

[spice roost]

because BulletSpawner is a public class and I'm calling it in MonsterMovement

public BulletSpawner bulletSpawner;

line 11

[solar hill]

youre not calling it

youre just creating a field

youre basically saying "ok if i had a bulletspawner, this is where it goes" but you never put it there, not in the inspector not in your code

[feral mango]

yo can i get some help

[solar hill]

ask away

[sour fulcrum]

(what if you had two bulletspawners, which one would it magically pick?)

[spice roost]

aaah I'd have to do = new BulletSpawner you mean?

to create an instance?

[sour fulcrum]

in c# yes but in unity the drag in drop is ideal

[spice roost]

aah okay

[solar hill]

yeah especially if you just need a reference to the prefab, not the specific instance in the scene

[spice roost]

I have never touched c# in Unity and I'm not great at c# outside of Unity either, my apologies haha

[subtle mulch]

well, ask the question first

[feral mango]

basically im making a mechic where a player picks up a shell and adds to a ammo counter a player can then shoot, problem is when i touch the shell ammo appears, i can shoot to clear ammo but a raycast wont appear until i actually input the amount of ammo in the inspector

[spice roost]

but thanks for the help guys, I appreciate it!

[subtle mulch]

huuh, wdym

can you record a short vid?

to explain

[feral mango]

yea hold on

[solar hill]

i think i understand... Their ammo counter is visually updating, but the weapon itself isnt

so they have to use the inspector to actually increase the ammo amount for it to be able to shoot

[subtle mulch]

if that's the case, then he prob is just incrementing the ammo counter and not the gun projectile counter

[feral mango]

bro i broke the shell pickup system trying to fix it holdon i gotta recode ds

[pine garden]

i have this bug in my inventoryGrid where if i pick an item and i put it over another item to swap, it instead overlap and make the other item unpickable, try to pinpoint the issue
https://pastebin.com/LWViHidG
the PickUpItem is called normally,but when i pick and swap with another item it doesn't call twice

[pine garden]

sorry, i change it to public

[wintry quarry]

can you explain where in this code you're having problems?

the context here isn't that clear

Are these two PickupItem methods on two different classes?

[pine garden]

do you want the entire classes?

because theres ItemGrid and InventoryController

[wintry quarry]

I want all the relevant code yes, and more importantly an explanation of which parts of the code you're having trouble with

[pine garden]

https://pastebin.com/7Ayvr3Bd
https://pastebin.com/GJVHYDAf

my inventoryController do the input and check if the item is place in a equipementslot or somewhere in the grid, it also check if you're out of bound or overlapped a item

the overlap check does work because it return true, so its cleary after the check

i was thinking that my CleanReferenceGrid method causing issue

thats where im having trouble, i can't find why my items are still overlapping

[wintry quarry]

so the issue is items are being placed in overlapping spots?

[pine garden]

if i place item over an item, they should swap, but instead it overlap and the on-top item remain pickable while the other become unpickable

the unpickable item lost its heigh and width gridSize

[grand snow]

Generally when doing a grid inventory UI you want containers and a generic display that can show item information inside those
When you drag/drop you can either "swap" the views or just update the data and refresh the views

e.g. 0,0 -> 2,2
swap the item positions in inventory data then refresh both ui views to show new data

[spice roost]

Might be a silly question but if I have a script for a bullet spawner behaviour that acts a certain way, duplicate a bullet spawner that holds that script and then want to make modifications to the bulletscript for that new spawner, do I have to duplicate the bullet spawner script and make the changes or is there another way?

[feral mango]

there we go

[solar hill]

these are c# basics, you use inheritance for this

[pine garden]

it was more a swap in the selecteditem, the selecteditem get drop and the overlap item go in the selecteditem

in the mouse select

[feral mango]

https://streamable.com/lvzbn5

[wintry quarry]

it really depends what the modifications are

[feral mango]

mb look at it when yall ready

[solar hill]

also this

if its entirely just values

you can use basic composition

[grand snow]

Still a change in data isnt it? have you confirmed your drop detection works?
Btw you dont have to do that yourself with raycasts... just use the pointer events for drag and dropping https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.ugui@1.0/api/UnityEngine.EventSystems.IDropHandler.html

@pine garden

[solar hill]

but if the logic is actually different, you would probably need some base "projectile" class that your other ones inherit from

[spice roost]

BulletSpawner already inherits from Monobehaviour, would it work to make a script inherit from a script which in it's turn inherits from monobehaviour?

I'm not sure what Monobehaviour does in this case

[solar hill]

yes thats how inheritance works

if scriptb inherits from scriptA

[sour fulcrum]

and how MonoBehaviour already works 😄

[solar hill]

and scriptA inherits from Monobehaviour

that means that scriptb also inherits from it as well

As for what Monobehaviour does, its a bit complicated, but to boil it down it basically tells unity "I can be attached as a component"

[spice roost]

aah okay, so a base class for all spawners to inherit from and then modifications in the methods of the inheriting classes for different behaviours

[sour fulcrum]

MonoBehaviour inheritence is

object : Object
Object : Component
Behaviour : Component
MonoBehaviour : Behaviour

[grand snow]

Its the shit name unity picked for user made components that they cant change anymore

[solar hill]

heres an example:

public class Bullet : MonoBehaviour 
{
    public float speed = 10f;
    public virtual void Move() 
    {
        transform.Translate(Vector3.forward * speed * Time.deltaTime);
    }
}


public class HomingBullet : Bullet 
{
    public Transform target;

    public override void Move() 
    {
        // your homing* logic
    }
}```

the benefit over just duplicating Bullet and making Bullet2, is that if they share functionality, you now have to do double the work to update it everytime you have to

[spice roost]

aaah right

[solar hill]

So if theres some bug with the Move() method, and all individual Bullet copies have it, you have to fix it in every single one

thats no good

[spice roost]

I'm 6 months into my studies in software development and we went through the basics of C# the first 2 months and have covered so much since then that I've basically forgotten all the basics 😭 It's partially why I've started with Unity

[solar hill]

Honestly they should have named that shit "ComponentBase" or something

[wintry quarry]

you need more practice

[spice roost]

Oh yes a lot more

[rich adder]

unless you're doing your own raycast checks you wouldn't wanna use Translate for bullet if it has rigidbody

[solar hill]

ok it wasnt a serious example nav

i was just demonstrating inheritance

[sour fulcrum]

too much time being a family sitcom star

[grand snow]

Back at the very start you could also use JS and Boo, C# relied on Mono so i guess thats why its in the name

[solar hill]

Well yeah isnt the Mono of Monobehaviour just "it uses c#"

[spice roost]

it's a high pace course so we also cover JS, frameworks, databases.. I have not held onto the basics well

[solar hill]

mono means 1
and behaviour means rail

[grand snow]

soon we will be free of mono but yea its legacy will be around for many years

[spice roost]

but I'm hoping coding in Unity somewhat translates a little

[grand snow]

I still remember MonoDevelop

Why not? C# is C#

[rich adder]

Unity is just an API and you use C# to interact with it

nothing about C# changes

[spice roost]

yes but it's also very different to say coding a back end in ASP.NET so idk how much it offers other than solidifying basics

[grand snow]

Its an OO language so that is the same

[rich adder]

You're talking about framework specific features / concepts but underlying c# is the exact same
making a List or even use factory pattern can both be used in those two framework
Unity concepts has the same like as mentioned MonoBehaviour, GameObject and so on

[elfin pike]

It shouldn't care what type of requirement it is

[grand snow]

okay?

no idea what you mean im just saying how I would implement UI to reflect inventory/character data

[spice roost]

okay that's true, do you guys also use SQL for databases in Unity?

[rich adder]

You can use anything as long as its not stored on the client ofc 😛

I've used both SQL based and Object /NonSQL

[grand snow]

sqlite is an option too

[spice roost]

yeah that was the first thing we learned

then MSSQL

[grand snow]

micro slop sql

[spice roost]

hahaha

[rich adder]

ya sqlite is great tbh.
we cannot use Microslop SQL Server on mac anyway xD

[spice roost]

with docker no?

[swift crag]

This is very imoprtant to understand!

[elfin pike]

When I said something about inventory, it's about level/map progression

[rich adder]

maybe but the performance on sqlite is good so its more of the "if aint broken.."

[swift crag]

one big thing I used to believe was that destroyed objects actaully disappeared from C#-land

[grand snow]

haha you believed the unity == null lies!

[spice roost]

oh for sure, sqlite is very fine and the syntax is arguably better

MSSQL feels extra in comparison

[rich adder]

havent touched a raw SQL line in a while.. Entity framework spoiled me :x

[spice roost]

haven't used it yet but I know it's standard

[rich adder]

though I find object based sometimes more what I need anyway, like mongodb or amazons dynamodb

[feral mango]

Ummm can i get some help now

[sour fulcrum]

fuck standards i converted a google sheet link into json

[rich adder]

maybe... try asking a question

[stoic pond]

when i try and open my scripts in unity it just says select an app to open with (im brand spankin new)

then what do you need help with?

[feral mango]

basically im making a mechic where a player picks up a shell and adds to a ammo counter a player can then shoot, problem is when i touch the shell ammo ui wont change, i can shoot to clear ammo but a raycast wont appear until i actually input the amount of ammo in the inspector

https://streamable.com/1do234

[rich adder]

ok but where is the code ? without it we can only gues

[solar hill]

I already made an assumption about this

if the ammo counter is visually changing, but you cant fire

[wintry quarry]

my guess is the ammo in the pickup script or whatever is doing the picking up has nothing to do with teh shotgun ammo counter

[solar hill]

yeah this

[rich adder]

was thinking the same

[solar hill]

maybe the visual ammo counter is disconnected from the actual one for whatever reason

and the pickup script only updates that one

[feral mango]

no ive rechecked it

[feral mango]

wym?

[solar hill]

can you just share the code please

the code for the pick up

[wintry quarry]

I mean what I wrote 😛

[feral mango]

sure

pastebin is full of weird adware

[solar hill]

Oh wait you changed the description of the issue

the ui isnt changing either'

then its almost certainly an issue with the ammo pick up

[feral mango]

but look at the debug log

thats what im thinking too

https://paste.ofcode.org/4cnxHQNN4MVxqUezeJTeeT

[solar hill]

the debug log almost certainly confirms that the shell never gets added to your ammo count

[feral mango]

https://paste.ofcode.org/fSkZXTMnz96824Q7ESEKkp

https://paste.ofcode.org/zV5G7nWWaWEDVdrB8Lq3wh

3 files, shotgun, pickup, and ui

[solar hill]

check that last link for me 5

but "Debug.Log("Shell picked up!");" is being called 🧐

that means that gun isnt null

[rich adder]

oh wait nvm its on the Player itself.. I see what they doin

[solar hill]

it might be the AddAmmo function then

@feral mangosend us the script of whatever has the AddAmmo function

[rich adder]

maybe there is a Copy of Shotgun in the scene and its picking up the wrong one since its FindObjectByType

[feral mango]

the only thing that has the add ammo is the shell

[rich adder]

Shotgun script

[solar hill]

no where is the AddAmmo function defined?

we need that script

[feral mango]

i guess it isnt lol

ihh shotgun script

[solar hill]

what

[solar hill]

what do you mean by isnt?

[feral mango]

this the shotgun script

https://paste.ofcode.org/5QxULgxK6KKBhYEjEgEdxb

[feral mango]

because u said it wasnt defined but it should be

[solar hill]

when did i say that

[solar hill]

this?

"no***,*** where?"

[rich adder]

type t:Shotgun in your hierarchy. How many results do you have

[feral mango]

thats embarrasing

its on the player too

[rich adder]

lol had a feeling FindObjectByType was doing some like that

[feral mango]

literally been stuck on this for 2 days im sooo mad

thanks man

[rich adder]

I would replace

  if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            Shotgun gun = FindFirstObjectByType<Shotgun>();```
with 

if (other.CompareTag("Player"))
{
Shotgun gun = other.GetComponentInChildren<Shotgun>();```

delete the copy first ofc

[feral mango]

will do

appreciate everyone that helped

[rich adder]

[golden canopy]

what do you guys think of this

i made a function that checks if the player has a ledge infront of him, scans the length of the surface above the ledge and returns an edge and checks if player could stand or vault over it

[wintry quarry]

Sounds like a thing

[elfin pike]

I'm correctly thinking of implementing level progression?

[waxen adder]

Better than what I do XD

I just use a character controller

[swift crag]

i remember doing something like this in a game jam once – it's a remarkably hard problem to solve if you don't want to have to pre-annotate your world with vault and climb points

[nocturne parcel]

Is there a way to recompile scripts?

Ctrl+r does nothing for me

[slender nymph]

ctrl+r just refreshes unity to import any changes, which means it will compile if there are changes to code. is there a reason you need to recompile? surely your changes to the code were compiled when you either saved them or when you used ctrl+r (if auto refresh is disabled)

[nocturne parcel]

I'm using a serialized dictionary, but changes seem to only take effect after compiling

Which makes them kinda useless lol

[sour fulcrum]

That doesn’t sound right

[inland pecan]

Hello!
I’m a unity learner and I’m pretty really new to unity, and I’m curious about some things

How would I know where to put scripts and when to use them in their right contexts? Do I need to look at other open source projects?

Also, I’m not really a YouTube learner, so I just mostly depend on unity documentation and Google searches. Thanks in advance!
(By the way I know how to code in c# so it’s not the greatest worry of mine, I just hope I’m not using scripts in their wrong ways)

[echo ruin]

There’s technically no rule as to where to put the scripts, but putting them where they make sense can make things a lot easier.
Having a script for player movement would make sense to put on the player

[rich adder]

start small and build up. don't overthink it

[inland pecan]

Sounds good, I was just having a hard time with it since I've moved from Roblox studio, and scripts there and scripts in unity are so different in terms of where to put them and stuff

[short gust]

when I have a regular spherecast against flat PLANE mesh collider for ground check - I have wrong gibberish normal all the time on X and Z, but Y is right, but when I change the collider to BOX - I've got the "right normal" without this random values in X an Z axis.
I just want to know - why it does that or is this "normal behavior" in general for stuff like that?

[echo ruin]

I’m not 100% certain how it’s done in Luau, but I believe you often reference objects and components in scripts by referencing them through their placement in the hiearchy? You can do that in Unity, but it’s much simpler (and performant) to simply make a public reference, then you can click and drag the components or objects straight into the script in the editor.

[north kiln]

What kind of gibberish values are you talking about?

[short gust]

like values on those axis fluctuating at random rate, like -5 to 5, while Y is right and stable all the time

[inland pecan]

In Luau and roblox, basically what I used to do is I had mulitple modules that store functions and OOP objects, and in some scripts I initialize these modules so the game can run and I'm not sure how that would be done in Unity, which is just the primary problem. Anything else with unity is absolutely fine

[north kiln]

Can you show those values? Because I don't believe you're interpreting them correctly

[inland pecan]

like I would have a module for player crouching and a module for player sprinting, and in one script called "PlayerHandler" it would initialize these modules. Im pretty sure its very different from that in unity but i could be very wrong

[short gust]

pic 1: whenever I hit the ground
pic 2: my code where I do the ground check/set normal
I don't see any problem with my code, but who knows, lol. it's only do that when I hit the mesh collider of the plane

[north kiln]

it's unclear what that value is without seeing the whole thing

it's likely -6.76....e-16, i.e. approximately 0

(i.e. 0.000000000000000067...)

and you will always have this with floats, there's inaccuracy in calculations, and most values can't be represented perfectly at all

[echo ruin]

You don’t really need to initialize anything in Unity in the same way.
You can make prefabs, which are objects that you can “initialize”/spawn at runtime.
But the thing you’re refering to, I think, wouldn’t be necessary in Unity. Instead, you would just have to make sure your script is present on an object in the hiearchy.

If you have written a script to handle player movement, just be sure that it’s present somewhere in the hiearchy (preferibly on the player object).

If you have written a TimeManager script, for example, that isn’t necessarily pary of any object, you can just create an empty object and shove it in there.

The key is just that the script is present in the scene/hiearchy.

[inland pecan]

I appreciate this really much. Thank you!

[short gust]

okay, didn't think about that, lol. I've stretched a lot my editor a lot and it is indeed like that. sorry for that poor screenshot and my blindness.

but I still don't get the inaccuracy in plane mesh collider and not on box one. like, why does only mesh gives those error while it's pure flat and perpendicular and box collider is fine no matter what? or it's just whatever the engine gods do

[north kiln]

You can't rely on the box collider being accurate either, but it's certainly simpler to find the normal of a box than it is a mesh, and the simpler calculations will result in more accuracy

[short gust]

ah, oki. thanks for the info!

[runic urchin]

hey so im pretty new to coding and i have been following tutorials and such on youtube to learn while piecing together my first project but with some things that are outdated or dont have a lot of people talking about in various forums i have been using AI to help make the scripts. I have been making sure i go through and understand the code it creates and such but i wanted to see if this is an ok way to learn or not. i just really dont want to stunt my growth with coding so advice here would be greatly appreciated

[frail hawk]

i would not recommend using ai as a beginner

learn coding without the use of ai, it is something completely different

[runic urchin]

alright, so what would be a good way to learn how to do stuff? i feel like i can picture the process of what i want to do with everything but i cant put it in the C# language. like I'm trying to tell someone how to do a job but they speak a completely different language.

[frail hawk]

if you are not able to put it in c# language that means you have to experiment and learn more. just learn the basics of programming without the use of c# in unity

[runic urchin]

ok i see, i appreciate you answering my questions!

[frail hawk]

you are welcome

[elfin pike]

Want to make branched level unlocking with requirements.

How does it sound?

[distant saddle]

Hello guys , beginner in Unity , is there a way to "cap" the falling speed of some objects ? i'm making a 2D platformer where the gimmick is that you have to go down a lot but at some point , you fall so quickly that it's unplayable (and you clip thought floors)

[keen dew]

Depends what mechanism it uses for falling. If it's a rigidbody, check if the velocity is larger than max speed and set it to max speed if it is

[distant saddle]

you do this every frame ? isn't it a bit "janky" ?

i will try i guess .

[keen dew]

Every fixedupdate, yes

[stuck parrot]

now I did 👍

    void Update()
    {
        float ZAngle = gameObject.transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z;
        float TargetZAngle = Mathf.Lerp(ZAngle, -50, 0.1f);
        gameObject.transform.rotation = quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, TargetZAngle));

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            rigidBody.linearVelocity = new Vector2(0, PlayerInfo.JumpPower);
            gameObject.transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, 10));
        }
    }

why is the rotation acting crazy?

[frail hawk]

only when you press the button or?

[inland pecan]

always

its just rotating uncontrollably

[frail hawk]

is the code even compiling, you have typos there

quaternion.Euler // this line

[inland pecan]

it is

it might be because i used quaternion and not Quaternion? idk

im gonna try

nvm still rotating uncontrollably

[grand snow]

Btw you can access transform directly, you do not need to do gameObject.transform

[inland pecan]

oh interesting

[naive pawn]

quaternion exists

it's from separate package and it has an implicit conversion to Quaternion

[frail hawk]

ok

[elfin pike]

i hope somebody atleast answer on this question, if other ones get ignored.
GetInstanceId on scriptableObjects change between builds or playing sessions?

[naive pawn]

...what's your question?

[naive pawn]

(to be clear, it's likely an issue, but wouldn't be a compiler error)

[naive pawn]

if they're assets, i'm pretty sure not

the instance id is in the file

you can view it directly

[elfin pike]

because editor instanceid and build instanceid are not same. Also asked chat bot about getinstanceid and didnt advice for me to use it, because id can change

[hexed terrace]

Just read the docs? https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.GetInstanceID.html

[elfin pike]

and it says that id changes between session, but for me it didnt change

[hexed terrace]

probably read it as that it COULD change / is not GAURANTEED to be the same all the time.

[elfin pike]

i shouldnt use it or i have to make my own and store in field

[grand snow]

If you need unique ids then use your own or in editor grab the guid and store it

I dont actually know if we can get an asset guid without AssetDatabase

[fresh wadi]

hello ive been picking up unity/game devlepment again after years of not doing it

[strong wren]

Pretty sure Unity doesn't have an ID that stays consistent across editor and builds. https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/guid-based-reference/ was created because of this. Other similar solutions also exist. There's a talk by William about this.

[fresh wadi]

ive done coding alot before but just a little bit rusty but its starting to click abit for me

[inland pecan]

ok so this branched out to a less annoying bug..

    void Start()
    {
        rigidBody = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        ZAngle = transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        ZAngle = ZAngle - 0.1f;
        ZAngle = Mathf.Clamp(ZAngle, ZAngle, -50);

        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, ZAngle));
        ZAngle = transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z;

        if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
            rigidBody.linearVelocity = new Vector2(0, PlayerInfo.JumpPower);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, 25));

            ZAngle = 25;
        }
    }```
for some reason now, it only lerps once(reaches -50) and is stuck at -50 no matter what i set the rotation to after that.

[naive pawn]

don't read back eulerangles, they may not be consistent

also what's with that clamp lol

you've set the max to -50

so it's going to stay at -50 once it reaches that

[inland pecan]

its cuz i couldnt just lerp cuz it would infinitely rotate

[naive pawn]

would probably be clearer if you use Mathf.Min instead of the Clamp

[inland pecan]

so i instead would just clamp it

alright ill try

[naive pawn]

that wouldn't change anything, it just makes the problem more obvious

[naive pawn]

you clamped it and now you're saying the issue is that it's clamped

[naive pawn]

this is probably more likely to be the issue

[inland pecan]

what do i di instead of that

[naive pawn]

maintain your own variable and only assign into euler angles

just remove the ZAngle = transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z;

[inland pecan]

mhm

[naive pawn]

you don't need the transform.rotation = inside the if either, just move the other one to be at the end of Update

what's the goal here exactly?

[inland pecan]

something like flappy bird's bird

when it falls it rotates to the side

and when it jumps its rotation gets set to something like 25 degrees

i think i figured out something
