this has become so frustrating it randomly just happened one day with my laptop even tho its got good specs

[night raptor]

Rb.linearVelocity is at least framerate independent (and other speeds in general). It’s literally velocity in units per second. In conceptual level, you need to understand that the Update will run faster with faster framerate and consider the results of that. If you want to move or rotate something by X units per second, you don’t want to do a fixed change every frame. By doing X timed deltaTime, the delta times will cumulate to 1 each second and the speed therefore will be X.

The special thing about ”Mouse X/Y” is that it gives the amount your mouse has moved since the last frame. If you move your mouse at constant speed, higher framerate will result in lower mouse delta and therefore lower ”Mouse X/Y”. This makes it a special case where you don’t want to multiply by deltaTime.

There is no automatic list of things where you use and where you don’t use deltaTime. If you want to rotate the player exactly 90 degrees every time they press certain key, you wouldn’t multiply by deltaTime, you want to rotate that 90 degrees in a single frame no matter how long that frame is. It is more so a case of actively thinking what the values you are using represent and how differing framerates could affect the outcome. One way to spot framerate independence problems is to take your game and cap the fps to something silly low like 10 or even lower and see if something in your game gets way too slow or way too fast. The game may become horrible to look at but it might reveal you these problems, this is actually the way I originally figured out I had been misled by some tutorials earlier regarding the mouse axes and deltaTime.

With physics things may get bit tricky. Although FixedUpdate as the name suggests is already framerate independent, you should sometimes multiply by Time.fixedDeltaTime to ensure your units make sense (like speed in X units per second) and to prevent issues if you ever change the physics update rate later. The documentation page is usually your best friend when you don’t know how some unity API feature works exactly. Enough for today, I’ll get some sleep now.

Trying to figure out how to set up a way for a trail renderer to change color by player picking a color through ui buttons, I'm trying to figure it out on my own but any tips for creating a script that does that?

[unborn trellis]

https://paste.ofcode.org/x8hi3LVKnhRPk8j2ULynDV Ok im almost done with what im trying to do but running into the small issue of the alpha being set to 0 when a color is selected. I'm trying to figure out how to fix it but im not understanding a lot of the alpha key stuff im reading online, does anyone know a simple way i could set it so its always at full opacity? thank you

[keen dew]

Did you set the alpha to 1 in the colors in the list? If so, it's something else that's changing it

[unborn trellis]

Sorry realized a better way to do it so I'm shifting to that, but yeah now that I'm looking at it the colors were set to 0 opacity at default for some reason. Didn't occur to me cause I thought they would default to full

[ionic zealot]

Hi, y'all, can you help me please, I dont understand why the camera doesnt take the highest priority as soon as its created

using UnityEngine;

public class Weapon : MonoBehaviour

    public GameObject _bullet;
    public float _bullet_velocity;

    public void FireWeapon()
    {
        if (!_player.ShootCooldown)
        {
            RaycastHit hitInfo;

            if (Physics.Raycast(_shoot_point.position, _shoot_point.forward, out hitInfo))
            {
                GameObject hitObject = hitInfo.collider.gameObject;

                EnemyAI enemy = hitInfo.collider.GetComponentInParent<EnemyAI>();

                Vector3 pos = hitInfo.point + hitInfo.normal * 0.02f;

                if (bloodPrefab != null)
                {
                    Instantiate(bloodPrefab, pos, Quaternion.LookRotation(hitInfo.normal));
                }

                if (enemy != null)
                {

                    if (enemy._last_enemy)
                    {
                        gm.Execution();
                        Instantiate(_bullet, _shoot_point.position, Quaternion.identity);
                        _main_camera.enabled = false;
                        _bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(_shoot_point.forward.normalized * _bullet_velocity, ForceMode.Impulse);
                    }

                    if (hitObject.CompareTag("Head"))
                    {
                        Debug.Log("HEADSHOTTT!");
                        enemy.GetShot(500);
                    }
                    else if (hitObject.CompareTag("Enemy"))
                    {
                        enemy.GetShot(1);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}```

It has priority set to 100f

[keen dew]

How is this code related to the issue? What priority do the other cameras have?

[ionic zealot]

0 and 1, and i posted the code cause the cam is attatched to the bullet prefab

[keen dew]

Is the camera actually a part of the prefab? Just referencing it doesn't make it instantiate. Did you confirm that the camera exists in the hierarchy when the bullet is instantiated?

[ionic zealot]

Huh, i thought it wouldve automatically instantiated if it was a part of the prefab.. Is there a way i can make it do that?

[keen dew]

It does do that

Show the prefab

[ionic zealot]

This is itin the hirearchy

[keen dew]

and what is its priority when it spawns?

[toxic spoke]

hey

how do i make my capsule move

[naive pawn]

several ways, try googling some

[toxic spoke]

if im using this code ```using UnityEngine;

public class Example : MonoBehaviour
{
Rigidbody m_Rigidbody;
public float m_Thrust = 20f;

void Start()
{
    //Fetch the Rigidbody from the GameObject with this script attached
    m_Rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
}

void FixedUpdate()
{
    if (Input.GetButton("Jump"))
    {
        //Apply a force to this Rigidbody in direction of this GameObjects up axis
        m_Rigidbody.AddForce(transform.up * m_Thrust);
        
    }
}

}``` then how to make it so i cannot hold space and fly

[naive pawn]

• check if you're on the ground
• use GetButtonDown, so you only jump when you press the button down, not continuously while the button is held down
  • this necessitates checking GetButtonDown in Update, otherwise it will not be consistent
    • you can have a state variable for this, or you could move the entire check to Update, but you'd have to use an impulse force (force mode Impulse or VelocityChange)
• you'd probably want an impulse force for a jump anyways, rather than a continuous force (and you probably would not call it thrust)

[frail hawk]

the position might havea an offset because your shoot point has a parent gameobject

as for the AddForce you might want to multiply with a value instead of the velocity

[ionic zealot]

The offset was the problem, but it dont move at all, what do you mean value instead of velocity?

[naive pawn]

what's the rigidbody type on the bullet

[ruby python]

Hi all, I'm hoping someone can help me out, cause this is giving me a headache. lol.

I'm manually setting my random seed (for now) in my GameManager Singleton as such.

        int mySeed = 12345;
        Random.InitState(mySeed);

With the idea that my hex grid system materials (see video) would stay consistent. But it doesn't and I'm very confused. I've tried putting the above lines of code into the hex controller (randomly selects a material from a list), but doing that doesn't randomise the materials at all. 😕

https://streamable.com/npo9p5

Would anyone have any points as to where I'm going wrong please?

HexTileController script for context.

using UnityEngine;
public class HexTileController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] Material[] worldTileMaterials;

    [SerializeField] GameObject newWorldTileVisual;

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        newWorldTileVisual.transform.localScale = Vector3.one * GameManager.Instance.globalDataManager.hexSize;
        MeshRenderer tileRenderer = newWorldTileVisual.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
        if (tileRenderer != null)
        {
            tileRenderer.material = worldTileMaterials[Random.Range(0, worldTileMaterials.Length)];
        }
        // Populate the tile with environmental features/details from object pools.
    }
}

[naive pawn]

that should respond to AddForce, so i guess

[sour fulcrum]

is tileRenderer not null? (eg. is the line of code running)?

also whats the list of materials

[ruby python]

Yeah, as you can see in the video, the materials are randomised for each tile, it's just they don't stay consistent with the enabling/disabling etc (The tiles are being pulled from a pool.

[sour fulcrum]

is the order of the tiles the same

[ruby python]

At the moment it's just 3 simple materials (Desert/Grass/Water)

[ionic zealot]

I hate it when unity is weird

[naive pawn]

perhaps try debugging to make sure

• the InitState is being reached
• check if the output of Random.Range is consistent (extract it as a variable)
• make sure those 2 things happen in the right order

[ruby python]

No it pulls a random tile from the pool, but the materials are assigned to that specific tile when it is enabled.

[sour fulcrum]

eg. if you turn on three tiles and consistently roll [Red, Blue, Green] that would be inconsistent if the three tiles were not in the same order every time

[ruby python]

There is only a singular tile (pooled).

[ruby python]

Will have a looksee. Thanks. Baffling cause I've had it working before now. lol.

[sour fulcrum]

I'm a little confused by what your explaining tbh, might be on me. "There is only a singular tile" seems to conflict with the mentions of pooling and multiple materials?

[slim solar]

How do I make unity show errors in VS code (without clicking every single one in the editor first?)

[sour fulcrum]

Correct me if im wrong but the setup is

tile is in range of camera, onenable on the tile which triggers your random material assignment, right? then when tile is out of camera range ondisable is run?

[slim solar]

Like when unity has errors, I tab over to vs code and see them without having to manually trigger each one

[ruby python]

There is one tile that is pooled (50 versions of that tile at the moment). When enabled (grabbed from the pool) each grabbed tile 'chooses' a random material from the list of available materials and assigns it to the renderer, which is working perfectly. It's the 'consistency' of the material assignment that's bugging me. lol.

[sour fulcrum]

ok yes

if im understanding correctly, your random roll is consistent but it's in isolation of inconsistency

you would need to cache this kind of information and not re-roll it every time you clean up the pooled tile

or potentially have like a system.random instance per tile and set the seed based on it's coord/index? not 100% sure of that solution but i think that's a route

[ruby python]

Just thinking out loud, but at the moment the material list 'lives' on each individual pooled tile. So I guess the randomisation is happening 'locally' to the tile. Maybe I should have the materials as a 'global' list instead

[sour fulcrum]

to be specific the assignment is local right now, the randomisation already is not

seeded randomness gives you consistent rolls in order, thats it

[ruby python]

Okay, I've just debugged the seed and yeah, it's using a different seed every time. 😕

[naive pawn]

you can click file names in unity btw

[slim solar]

that's literally what i was asking to fix lol

they should show up automatically. Instead I have to click each one and wait 10-20 seconds to open it into vscode

which adds up when you have 50-100 errors to fix (like changing a plugin)

[naive pawn]

automatically? that would be a terrible pain ngl

change something in a core system and you get 60 files popped up in your face

[sour fulcrum]

nah i think he means like

this right?

[slim solar]

lol it's not an issue if I could see them at once

[naive pawn]

it would be an issue in many workflows i know of

[slim solar]

Yup exactly. Would be nice to see this:

Then tab over and see this

[naive pawn]

imagine breaking 2 things at once and having to fix them alternately instead of fixing one issue at a time

[slim solar]

instead I gotta click every single error in unity 1 by 1 for them to show in vscode

[naive pawn]

or if you accidentally break something that causes issues at use sites, where you'd just want to fix the callee

[slim solar]

which i assume isn't normal

[naive pawn]

that shouldn't be an automatic pop up

[sour fulcrum]

Chris i don't think they want what you mean

[naive pawn]

oh yeah vscode typically analyzes open files rather than the entire project - this is kind of a vscode issue, not a unity issue.

[slim solar]

If unity can send 1 error at a time to VScode, can it not send all of em?

[naive pawn]

idk why i continued that tangent ngl. i already mentally acknowledged that

[slim solar]

lol allg

[naive pawn]

unity doesn't send errors to vscode

[sour fulcrum]

it "can"

vscode isn't interested in listening

[slim solar]

It does

These errors do not show up unless I click them in unity first

and unity pops open VS code

[naive pawn]

have you tried opening the file without clicking the unity pop up?

(you can open files by name through ctrl+p btw, not a fix but might help a bit)

[sour fulcrum]

it's probably only listening in the context of you opening that single file

as a design intention

[slim solar]

Yeah exactly, is this normal behaviour?

Or is there some plugin "send all errors to vscode" at once"

[naive pawn]

unity provides info about the project setup, vscode (or any other ide) analyzes it on their own, with their own language server
vscode, as an editor and not a true ide, only analyzes open files rather than the entire project (not a direct cause but probably a contributing factor into the decision)

this is a design decision of vscode

[naive pawn]

unity doesn't send errors mate

[sour fulcrum]

I think so but I could be wrong

[naive pawn]

errors can show up without unity even being open

[ruby python]

Oh for the love of all that is holy, what in the every loving F is going on here?

Debugs show the seed for each tile......

And this is the script that is governing the tile material assigning. I'm manually setting the random seed to a fixed number, but it's completely ignoring it. I'm so confused.

using UnityEngine;

public class HexTileController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] Material[] worldTileMaterials;

    [SerializeField] GameObject newWorldTileVisual;

    int mySeed = 54321;

    private void Awake()
    {
        Random.InitState(mySeed);
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        Debug.Log(Random.seed);

        newWorldTileVisual.transform.localScale = Vector3.one * GameManager.Instance.globalDataManager.hexSize;

        MeshRenderer tileRenderer = newWorldTileVisual.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
        if (tileRenderer != null)
        {
            tileRenderer.material = GameManager.Instance.datalistManager.worldTileMaterials[Random.Range(0, GameManager.Instance.datalistManager.worldTileMaterials.Length)];
        }

        // Populate the tile with environmental features/details from object pools.
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        MeshRenderer tileRenderer = newWorldTileVisual.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>();
        if (tileRenderer != null)
        {
            tileRenderer.material = null;
        }
    }
}

[fluid crow]

can anyone help me build a smooth camera follow script

[slim solar]

I mean project wide: For example I removed the LeanTween plugin to replace it with a better plugin

VSCode wouldn't know about that

and certainly isn't checking for it

[sour fulcrum]

I'm not sure which part you misunderstood from my previous explanation but that wasn't your problem

[sour fulcrum]

yes

[slim solar]

When I was in unreal angelscript (also VSCode), a single code change in 1 file would immediately display errors in all others

[sour fulcrum]

vs community is

[naive pawn]

vscode doesn't do project wide error checking as a rule, not an exception, in my experience

[slim solar]

unity is dead silent unless I run through the editor first

[naive pawn]

it can, from assemblies in the project, this doesn't have to go through unity

[verbal dome]

Lerp should start from transform.position, not from player

[slim solar]

Okay just tell me is this normal behaviour or not lol

[naive pawn]

@slim solar have you tried this

[slim solar]

Does anyone elses show errors immediately/all at once

[naive pawn]

me and batby have told you multiple times, it is

[slim solar]

Or do you need to play the easter egg hunt too

[slim solar]

yeah the files are all open, what im actively working in

[naive pawn]

you could probably run like, dotnet or smth in a terminal and have it show similar info

[ruby python]

eh? sorry, really very confused. I genuinely am not understanding why the random.range line is completely ignoring the random.init state value.

[sour fulcrum]

give me a second im making a little diagram

[naive pawn]

to be clear, you have the files with errors, they don't show errors, even when focused, only when you open the (already-opened) file from unity console error does it show errors?

[slim solar]

Yup exactly

[naive pawn]

ok that part doesn't seem normal

have you tried restarting the language server?

it may be working with cached packages, for example - that's something ive seen with other langauge servers

[slim solar]

Completely remove a plugin, all files will show it as fine until I open it through clicking the unity error. And when doing so, only that one file shows the error while others do not yet

[slim solar]

yeah, so yours should show more right?

i might need to do a whole nuke of my extensions

[naive pawn]

also (probably not relevant to the issue at hand just curious) do the errors show up if you open a file from the project tab rather than the console?

[slim solar]

might have some old/outdated ones as unity extensions changed so much over the years

[naive pawn]

or restarting vscode, would probably also clear the relevant cache

[slim solar]

like within vscode? Naw man. VS code is completely unaware of any unity errors unless unity opens that file through the editor first. Which is why it feels like they're being sent to the editor.

[naive pawn]

can you elaborate on "any unity errors"

we're still talking about compiler errors here, right?

[real thunder]

wait am I just allowed to put my code in curly braces anywhere without any real effect?

[naive pawn]

am I just allowed to put my code in curly braces anywhere
yes
without any real effect?
no

curly braces are a block statement

they affect scoping

[sour fulcrum]

ok @ruby python

If you had just three tiles, and you ran this code when the game starts. every time you pressed play you would get

Green, Yellow, Blue, Blue, Yellow, Green

The rolls are consistent based on the order they are called in.

Your issue is that consistency is not relevant if your re-rolling those tiles randomly

[real thunder]

is that useful for C# Unity anywhere?

[naive pawn]

void Start()
{
    {
        int x = 1;
    }
    Debug.Log(x); // error, `x` doesn't exist here
}

[slim solar]

Okay I reinstalled leantween to show ya.

First: Unity has no errors

[real thunder]

I can see it being useful for management but it looks like more clutter ultimately

[naive pawn]

anywhere you see if () {}, else {}, while () {}, for () {}, foreach () {}, that's a block statement

[sour fulcrum]

you'd either need to

A: Randomly roll your tiles outside of your pooling concept and have that info somewhere for the tiles to grab on oneanble
B: or have a localised instance of random (System.Random) and use the tile's index for consistent seeding per tile location

[naive pawn]

you could just use regions for managing sections/chunks of logic

[real thunder]

ain't regions just a visual thing?

[naive pawn]

yes

[real thunder]

I meant you could be putting mroe railguards yourself this way basically

to not accidentally use something you did not mean to

[naive pawn]

you would be using methods for that

[slim solar]

Then I uninstall LeanTween and get a bunch of errors in Unity, but VS code still shows clean.

Next I click an error in unity -> VS code opens and displays the errors for that file only.

Even when opening other files. I click another filein unity, VS code opens now also showing the errors in that other file.

Repeat

but it's cool im assuming that's not normal so ill just try redoing my extensions one day

[ruby python]

Okay, I think I get it. Still monumentally baffled as to why the seed is being randomised when I've explicity told it what the seed is.

[naive pawn]

i still don't know what you mean by "unity error". those are just compiler errors

[slim solar]

yeah compiler errors displayed in unity

[naive pawn]

those are just compiler errors

not unity errors

[slim solar]

other game engines show them all in VScode immediately

but in unity I gotta dick around opening all the files and clicking on the errors in unity to properly display em

[naive pawn]

can you test this - if you have some situation where A uses B.field, try making B.field private, see if A starts reporting errors while it's unfocused

[slim solar]

maybe just shitty C# extensions

[naive pawn]

another thing might be that it starts not analyzing files if you have too many open

[naive pawn]

have you done the thing i told you to do? you never said if they actually worked.

[slim solar]

Huh, that worked now. USUALLY it stays silent Unity yells at me lol. Maybe from all the dicking around I've done this morning it might have fixed something

[slim solar]

yeah dude i've had this issue across multiple completed games over the years. Only in unity no other game engines. But prob related to old/conflicting extensions. It's no biggie i'll play around with em later

Thanks!

[naive pawn]

so did you restart the language server, or...

if you're not going to provide any more info then i'm inclined to say it's caching

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
public float movementSpeed = 15f;
public float rotationSpeed = 200f;

private Rigidbody2D rb;

private void Start()
{
    rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    if (rb == null) Debug.LogWarning("PlayerController needs a rigidbody!");
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    Vector2 moveInput = Vector2.zero;

    if (Keyboard.current != null)
    {
        if (Keyboard.current.wKey.isPressed || Keyboard.current.upArrowKey.isPressed)
            moveInput.y = 1f;
        if (Keyboard.current.sKey.isPressed || Keyboard.current.downArrowKey.isPressed)
            moveInput.y = -1f;

        if (Keyboard.current.aKey.isPressed || Keyboard.current.leftArrowKey.isPressed)
            moveInput.x = -1f;
        if (Keyboard.current.dKey.isPressed || Keyboard.current.rightArrowKey.isPressed)
            moveInput.x = 1f;
    }

    moveInput = moveInput.normalized;

    rb.MovePosition(rb.position + moveInput * movementSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);

    if (moveInput != Vector2.zero)
    {
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(moveInput.y, moveInput.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        rb.rotation = angle;
    }
}

}

[wicked pulsar]

Have you verified that Keyboard.current.wKey.isPressed has a value? A simple way to do so is with Debug.Log.

[mellow lance]

have a bit of a complex question but wanted to ask here, with Object.GetHashCode(), typically in the editor/runtime will a hash be generated on every time it is called or looked up? or is this something that is generated once and doing that method call is just a simple lookup?

[grand snow]

Its a c# concept and ideally the "same object" will produce the same hash code but you wont ever get the same object for things like GameObject
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.object.gethashcode?view=net-10.0

What are you trying to do?

[mellow lance]

nothing big, I just want to hold something lightweight that is persistent. I have a "socket" system which objects can be inserted into said socket. These objects can also be "ejected" from the socket. But there is a small issue there in that as soon as an object is ejected but its still within trigger bounds it will be "inserted" again so just to prevent an object from being inserted again I just need to hold a reference (or in this case I was thinking of using the hash code) to the previously inserted object.

[grand snow]

For that you can just compare object reference

as its the same instance

Long term identifiers for some object would need to be something you create and assign

[wicked pulsar]

Hashes aren’t “unique”, but they’re designed to be unique enough to avoid collisions. Their creation is meant to always deterministically give you a same result for any state.

[mellow lance]

I know hashes are not intended to be unique, if I needed something with a long lifetime I'd use a GUID but in this case I just need something lightweight and was just curious about this small little nitpick case

[grand snow]

Main takeaway is they are not the best choice for this situation

if you are a beginner then dont use em, otherwise you probably already understand and should ask in #1390355039272439868 in future

[wicked pulsar]

Yeah, using hashes with objects isn’t trivial, so doesn’t really apply to trivial problems. You might need to go deeper into what you are trying to do.

[grand snow]

this is such a simple thing to solve so no

[wicked pulsar]

Oh I didn’t read the use case. Yeah, that doesn’t require hash use.

[mellow lance]

trying to fully explain it but I know i can do this just simply using the object itself and holding a reference to it

this is more nitpicky in the sense i just wonder whats better perf/memory

[grand snow]

object reference

If its really just you needing to prevent re doing some logic via trigger enter/stay then this is it

[wicked pulsar]

Give the socket a list/array memory of things that it has held and the time they were released. Check against that when accepting new socketed objects.

Enforce a maximum size and knock an element off the beginning if the list gets to some length. Push new entries onto the end. (Or do the reverse)

[grand snow]

If its a trigger that controls this then and the problem is that on "disconnection" the object remains inside the trigger then you can use trigger exit to remove from this "ignore list"

Or make disconnection push said object further away right away

[wicked pulsar]

You.. ugh… disconnecting thousands of objects from sockets? I don’t think you need to be concerned about that.

[mellow lance]

not at all, like I said this is just a small nitpicky case but I am using this socket system for a large number of objects

not within every frame of course

but with your answers ill just stick with object reference

[wicked pulsar]

Ah. I think with what I had mentioned earlier, a Dictionary actually has the functionality built in that supports your use case. That, or an array of tuple (float, GameObject) that you add to when an object becomes disconnected. Think of it like a conditional rejection list.

To check if a new object should be accepted, iterate through the dictionary/tuple list and drop out using ‘break’ when the timestamp is obviously outside the range of times that might be valid.

It’s O(X), where X is never more than the length of the collection, and will stop checking expired entries once any entry is too old. Always knock an element off the beginning if you’re pushing new entries onto the end if the length of the collection is at or exceeds the hardcoded limit.

First-in-first-out is what makes this efficient. Also, queues are not great for iteration in case you’re wondering why we wouldn’t use that.

[mellow lance]

noted thanks for the tips, some of it a little much but its alright I appreciate it

just for a bit of context I asked about hashes mostly because I remember hearing and even experiencing myself on a couple of instances in the past where when doing compares with multiple objects or such cases, it was better and more lightweight to just compare like the hash/ID of the object rather than try to compare the entire object itself. The actual use case I don't quite honestly remember and the details were hazy but I just remember the takeaway was that hash or some int/long number ID is better for certain operations than others

in this case I thought maybe it was applicable because I don't really need the object, just need to check at the end of the day was this object here before or not so figured for something simple, something lightweight would be fitting

but noted

object ref it is!

[grand snow]

In c# when we compare reference types we are just comparing if the references are the same (meaning if the pointers match). This is extreamly cheap.
Unity may override this for their types to also compare the native object its linked too (e.g. texture)

Comparing value types can be more costly as it does compare the objects themselves and their contents

C# even offers a function to let us explicitly compare reference equality only
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.object.referenceequals?view=net-10.0

[mellow lance]

you know unironically you just made it click with me

I always saw that function on the native c# object and was curious why there was a seperate one

now I get why

thanks dude

[grand snow]

Unity does quite a lot in their Equals() override

but yea thats why that exists, so we have the option to bypass this

In this case i recommend you do not

[wicked pulsar]

Equals() is the kind of tool someone might build using GetHashCode() internally.

Maybe. I have no idea what Unity does.

[grand snow]

Unity adds in comparison of native object and also logic to return false if the native object was deleted

unity fake null

[wicked pulsar]

@mellow lance You might find Unity nulls interesting actually, if you’re asking questions about efficiency and hashes. This is a topic people should get familiar with as Unity overrides C#’s use of null in comparison operations.

[eager spindle]

I was just about to ask a question here about why my null checks weren't working, saw this message and went to remedy my code

There are so many gotchas and caveats around Unity null checks. It's tough to remember all of them . . . 👇

Hi everyone, I am trying to program a script for movement. So far I have 3 heroes set as objects (future caterpillar system). I am trying to get them initialized. I have made the input manager for movement, input mapping for (zxcv), I seem to be having an issue with something called "Object reference not set to an instance of an object, line 102". I can't seem to figure out the issue. I have attached the script. So far I have added objects to the inspector ,4 objects, the 3 heroes and 1 object I plan to use as a autostarting event for like cut scenes. Thoughts?

[eager spindle]

101: _playerInput = GetComponent<PlayerInput>();
102: _moveAction = _playerInput.actions.FindAction("Move"); //For Field Movement

Take reference to the following lines. There's a few possibilities:

• _playerInput is null if it can't find PlayerInput component on the current GameObject
• actions is null. This is more likely since I see that you've commented out code related to playerInput.actions

In any case, you may append the following lines after line 101,

print("Player Input: " + _playerInput);
print("Player Input Actions: " + _playerInput.actions);

and it will let you know which is null.

[sour fulcrum]

did ai write that?

[eager spindle]

no

i wrote it by hand

[sour fulcrum]

is print() a thing

[eager spindle]

yes apparently

it's now a method on GameObjectmonobehaviour and a shorthand for Debug.Log

might be a unity 6 thing

[rich adder]

only for MBs
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour-print.html

[feral plaza]

This kind of weird, this is the only script in the game so far but it now says, "Assets/Input/InputManager.cs(103,54): error CS1061: 'PlayerInput' does not contain a definition for 'action' and no accessible extension method 'action' accepting a first argument of type 'PlayerInput' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)" I've added my controls input map as a picture.

[wintry quarry]

Your code is wrong. There's no property called action on PlayerInput

What's your code look like and why did you write that?

[mellow lance]

looking into the TryGetComponent case that was mentioned in the garbage collection and allocation

the docs say that the regular GetComponent call is more efficent than the TryGetComponent

but reading further im seeing threads that are saying that TryGetComponent is slow and really should be used for editor only code?

[slender nymph]

that's backwards, TryGetComponent is the one that is more efficient, but that's really also only true in the editor

[mellow lance]

there is alot of conflicting information that im seeing online

[slender nymph]

i don't know what you are looking at, but you can just look at this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/Component.TryGetComponent.html

The notable difference compared to GameObject.GetComponent is that this method does not allocate in the Editor when the requested component does not exist.

[mellow lance]

OHHH wait

so they mean this overload variant

[mellow lance]

my bad I was looking at the one on the bottom which had the type parameter

https://omitram.com/optimizing-unity-performance-getcomponent-vs-trygetcomponent/

[slender nymph]

this article agrees that TryGetComponent is faster

[mellow lance]

it does indeed

[slender nymph]

then why link it when your confusion was regarding thinking that GetComponent was faster?

[mellow lance]

verification from someone like you

[timber tide]

No reason to ever use GetComponent over Try

Maybe if you have a RequireType constraint

[naive pawn]

fail-fast behavior, probably

in that case i think they're about on equal footing

[toxic spoke]

Are LLMs good for unity C# code

[naive pawn]

Are LLMs good
no, not particularly

[toxic spoke]

Or are they like for every other coding language

[naive pawn]

they're a tool and they are not useful if you don't already have the expertise to actually use the tool properly

they're not good for much imo

Hey, guys! You know, I have a problem. I have many events for my game and I am using Observer Pattern, but I am not sure how to store and in which data structure my game events?

{
    gameEvents.OnGameOver += ShowGameOver;
    gameEvents.OnP1Win += ShowP1Win;
    gameEvents.OnP2Win += ShowP2Win;
    gameEvents.OnDraw += ShowDraw;
    gameEvents.OnEnablePVEScore += EnablePVEScoreText;
    gameEvents.OnDisableRedLives += DisableRedLives;
    gameEvents.OnPVPExit += TriggerPVPExit;
    gameEvents.OnPVPStay += TriggerPVPStay;
    gameEvents.OnPVEExit += TriggerPVEExit;
    gameEvents.OnPVEStay += TriggerPVEStay;
    gameEvents.OnPVESelected += OnPVESelected;
    gameEvents.OnPVPSelected += OnPVPSelected;
}

private void OnDisable()
{
    gameEvents.OnGameOver -= ShowGameOver;
    gameEvents.OnP1Win -= ShowP1Win;
    gameEvents.OnP2Win -= ShowP2Win;
    gameEvents.OnDraw -= ShowDraw;
    gameEvents.OnEnablePVEScore -= EnablePVEScoreText;
    gameEvents.OnDisableRedLives -= DisableRedLives;
    gameEvents.OnPVPExit -= TriggerPVPExit;
    gameEvents.OnPVPStay -= TriggerPVPStay;
    gameEvents.OnPVEExit -= TriggerPVEExit;
    gameEvents.OnPVEStay -= TriggerPVEStay;
    gameEvents.OnPVESelected -= OnPVESelected;
    gameEvents.OnPVPSelected -= OnPVPSelected;
}```

[timber tide]

Seems fine to me?

[sage mirage]

no the problem was that I didn'tr split my game events I had everything on a single event liek UI events, Game Events

now I have created a new scriptable object called UIEvents and split it up

[sage mirage]

I was just wondering maybe its a bad practice/design

lets say my game has many many events

what I am supposed to do

[timber tide]

private void OnEnable()
{
  BindUIEvents();
  BindSelectEvents();
  BindTriggerEvents();
}```
Like that?

Could make like a SelectEvents class, but that's just more fluff

Like ok, maybe you do have a bunch of UI events then having a middleman might be nice but I can't be bothered most of the time

[severe snow]

ive been using Claude a bit, I used to be a big poo pooer but its genuinely not bad.

if you dont have the skill to read, review and understand what it produces though then it will be wasted on you and you wont improve

theres no reason to use it on simple projects above learning to program yourself

[timber tide]

Claude does have probably the more powerful models just because each prompt will always try to fetch and cache newer, relevant data if it needs it. Which is why it takes quite a lot longer than most other LLMs out there. I'm convinced though that each prompt probably uses an ocean's worth of water ;p

Most LLMs will try to use that atomic data as much as possible, but Claude doesn't give a poop, which is also probably why it does have a stricter token system. You can actually hit a limit very easily with all their paid plans.

[severe snow]

yeah no doubt theres questions about sustainability, im not all for it. Really not sold on using AI for generating art, video and writing, it ruins the creative front end for players

i think saying "they're not good for much" is sort of insane though, some models are definitely quite capable, its hard because not long ago i thought like that too

[open crater]

Gius is it suggested to put the main camera into the player for a simple 2d platformer? Considering the freezed Z axis (rotation)

Hay guys would this be the best place to ask for programming help? I'd like to trade my art skills in 3d and help someone art side for some programming help.

[feral plaza]

Thanks for the reply. My code is further up. The PlayerInput section has [Move, Examine, Dash, Jump, Menu, Test key]. When I replace "actions" with the above I still get errors. I believe you're speaking about lines 101 to 108? I was following tutorials and examples. But I seem to run into issues when I use one script to do everything as opposed to having a controls/playermovment script to just an Input Manager.

I guess the best way to state it, I am introducing my action set into code. On wake I want to enable the action map and in start I want to map them to corresponding variables for reading such as float and vector2. I don't know how to properly assign the action variable to the button map with the Find Action.

hi im trying to make the escape button to leave to the menu using this code attached to an empty gameobject. the code is ```using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

public class ESCToMenu : MonoBehaviour
{
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{

}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetButtonDown("escape"))
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(0);
    }
}

}

it says to go to edit>settings>input but i dont have any options like that

[rich adder]

its Project Settings -> Input Manager

this is legacy input system

[toxic spoke]

thanks

[rich adder]

@toxic spoke since Escape key already exists you could just use the more safer Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Escape)

I would suggest you learn the new input system though

[toxic spoke]

also now i move to the menu but my cursor does not reappear

[rich adder]

because if you disabled/hidden the cursor its a global setting it doesn't reset with scene changes, unless specifically told to do so

[toxic spoke]

thanks

so i just do Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Unlocked;?

[rich adder]

you'd have to make it visible as well if its hidden

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Cursor-visible.html

[toxic spoke]

how do i unlock the cursor then

[rich adder]

wdym how ? you just sent it how

[toxic spoke]

that does not work

do i just use the ! not operator on it

[rich adder]

no

how did you veirfy the line is running

[toxic spoke]

i clicked escape and it went to menu

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/CursorLockMode.html
cursorlockmode.unlocked doesn't exists btw if you typed that then its a clear error

[toxic spoke]

i know that its an error

i tried it

[rich adder]

okay so use the proper one

and you should probably configure your code editor if its not suggesting the available option for CursorLockMode etc.

[toxic spoke]

whats the proper way

[rich adder]

I just sent it to you

did you actually click it and read it

[toxic spoke]

it works now

thanks

In a class that extends savable I have something like private static GetShard(int shardID) { return Instance.Data.Shards.FirstOrDefault... } so that I can do for example UpgradeData.GetShard(), is this a clever workaround or a principle violation? The method's not really static if it calls an Instance, right?

[shadow rain]

Not code but why can't I add a texture to the sprite texture on my 2d material

[earnest wind]

you could do something like this, which is the simplest imo, but there is one drawback

check for keybind -> do raycast -> make the collision obj child to the camera

the issue is that you can make the selected object go through other objects

[waxen adder]

So I have this script for an input handler. I'm seeing a lot of code duplication and was wondering if there was an elegant way to improve this. Everything I think of right now, just leads to similar duplication issues.

Summary of script: Processes inputs from the new input system and manages their states. If you guys want to see the InputState class, just ask, but that class is mainly just deciding if the input is "active"/"triggered" or not.

https://pastebin.com/gwT7v0Uz

The duplication issue in question is that I have a lot of callbacks doing the same thing: OnJump, OnDodge, OnGameAction1, OnGameAction2

[rich adder]

its either that or doing the generated C# class but you'd still have to have methods for the event of the action anyway (eg, performed, canceled etc.)

[grand snow]

I think this is using PlayerInput hence the magic functions called from somewhere

[waxen adder]

It is, yeah. Currently set to invoke unity events

[grand snow]

Id instead write a function to:

• make input state
• get input action
• sub to action activation to do something to state

Then you dont have to "repeat yourself"

If you really want player input for some reason then get the current action map from that and do the rest in code

[waxen adder]

Ah so manually handle input events, instead of PlayerInput?

[grand snow]

yes

then you can do all these setup tasks via a func call and keep the logic the same for each

[waxen adder]

Gotcha, thank you!

[grand snow]

If unsure then its a great time to learn about events in c#

[azure glade]

I'm following this tutorial, and I have an issue.
At the moment, you don't need to code anymore the camera boundaries for the VirtualMouse to not go offscreen.
I believe they didn't adjusted the issue with the screen size (PC vs mobile). On mobile I get the little offset click where it should not be, similar to how you can see in the video.
So, I am adding the script as in the video but just for the scale part:
[SerializeField] private RectTransform canvasRectTransform;
void Start()
{
UpdateScale();
}
private void UpdateScale()
{
transform.localScale = Vector3.one * (1f/canvasRectTransform.localScale.x);
//transform.SetAsLastSibling();
}
}
The issue is that once this script is activated on the gameobject, I am no longer able to move the virtual mouse, and stays at its anchored position.
The weird little offset I get on mobile, I am not sure if its because I am using ScreenSpace-Camera and not Overlay as in the video.
Has anyone any advice?
Edit: in screen space camera I'm no longer able t move the cursor. On overlay, I am able. What is causing on Space - Camera to not be able to move the curson?
why on Overlay it detects the weird offset triggering buttons from the wrong location? Moreover, I am restricted to go all the way to the edge of the screen on mobile devices, when using Overlay.

[verbal oxide]

Whats the best way about implementing crouch jumping for a fps controller?

[valid heath]

using Unity.Mathematics;
using UnityEngine;

public class raycastTest : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called once before the first execution of Update after the MonoBehaviour is created
    void Start()
    {
        RaycastHit[] hits;
        hits = Physics.RaycastAll(transform.position, transform.forward, 100f);
        Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, transform.forward, Color.red, 10f);
        Debug.Log(hits.Length);
    }

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

Any reason why this raycast wouldn't be hitting a tilemap collider?

I have a composite collider on it too

this is the tilemap im trying to hit

is it because I'm using 2d colliders in a 3d project?

idk if there's problems with that or not

[ivory bobcat]

I'd consider using physics 2d when working with 2d

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.html

[twin cloak]

depends on how you want the output to look like.
there isn't really a "best" way,

For a jam I once made a crouch which scales the player down by half on the y axis and lower the camera half way down.
That was super smooth and very fun to use (also added sliding to it which is just if you are moving and crouching, double the speed until you stop crouching)
so that was definitely the "best" solution for me at the time which fits a first person game

you can also lower just the collider and camera,
Have an animation where the character itself crouches and that should pretty much do it for third person / multiplayer games

[valid heath]

tried it, doesn't really change anything 🤷‍♂️

It's not a problem with the ray caster, i think its a problem with the tilemap

because I can raycast into a cube and it detects it just fine

[teal viper]

A cube is a 3d shape with a 3d collider. A tilemap is a 2d object using 2d physics.

So it would totally be a problem with the raycaster, if you were trying to use a 3d raycast against a 2d object.

[valid heath]

nvm u right, im a dummy and forgot to save my file 💀

now, is there any way that I can get collisions to each individual tile on a tilemap?

I'm looking to do something like this

which probably isn't possible because i don't think each tile is individual

[teal viper]

Not with raycasts or physics, but you could calculate it with math probably.

[wintry quarry]

this is literally a line drawing algorithm: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

[magic slate]

I Think My PC Was Too Fine...

[wicked pulsar]

That’s not a good use for raycasts, because a ray that crosses a plane (your tilemap) isn’t penetrating it. Raycasts are meant for testing collision/penetration.

[wicked pulsar]

One naive solution could be a raymarch, where you measure some position ahead of your origin along your direction, then raycast into the tilemap (down, maybe?), then do the same thing again starting from the last position that you sampled. This might be good enough depending on your needs.

The direct solution would be to use the line algorithm that PraetorBlue linked to get the cells you care about.

[hollow cradle]

Can someone recommend me a good yt channel that practices good efficient codes and explains it clearly?

@hollow cradle (from #💻┃unity-talk ) can you give some examples?

[hollow cradle]

Like when i was making item collection stuff and it took me quite a while because i was using such a cluttered system and i was even confused at what i was doing then a dude helped me and solved it in just a few minute

Also it lags my pc so much

[wicked pulsar]

It's hard to answer clearly with respect to what you need to learn without specifically knowing what it is that is causing you issues. C#, the language, doesn't really have a specification for what is or isn't the "best way" to design systems used in games. At least, that's not really within the scope of a C# course.

[burnt vapor]

I can't suggest a video, but I can link articles on best practices. I can also code review your code on the syntax specifically and give suggestions where I find any. Can't really comment on what's "best" as a whole anyway considering it really depends on what you make.

[wicked pulsar]

Often you'll want to learn patterns, or self-contained building blocks of a program, and apply them wherever necessary. That's a broad topic that tends to differ from industry to industry, and you'll need to know certain things more than others depending on the kind of work or type of game that you're making.

[hollow cradle]

It doesnt have to be the best like i want a channel that give good practices

Im still a newbie in unity

[burnt vapor]

I would suggest you use the resources Unity provides in general. Check the pinned messages. Or the bot message 👇

[radiant void]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[hollow cradle]

Ok thanks 🙏

[wicked pulsar]

"Coding practices" is a bit fuzzy if you're new enough, because learning efficient design is a bit of a separate task from learning how to make stuff work. I'm not exactly sure of a good resource for newbies. Unity Learn is probably one of the better resources (what FusedQyou posted).

There are probably specific lessons you can extract from your item system if you analyze what you changed in correcting it.

[muted grove]

would anyone know what version of unity dave / gamedevelopment (youtube) uses for his tutorials?

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! What Yield Return New WaitUntil() does?

I mean I know it's like a loop but after the execution what happens

[keen dew]

Not quite clear what you're asking but it works the same way as all the other yield statements in coroutines. It stays there until the condition becomes true, then in continues the coroutine from the next line

[sage mirage]

I mean it stays where exactly below it or above it?

lets say I want to display a message until message limit hits 10 lets lets say I have a counter message limit

[teal viper]

It stays at the yield line. And continues from the next line later.

[keen dew]

That question doesn't make sense. It essentially pauses the coroutine

[sage mirage]

yield return new WaitForSeconds first waits 3 seconds lets say and then execute code

[keen dew]

Yes and WaitUntil first waits until the condition is true and then executes code

[sage mirage]

oh ok

Make sense

You know, I have a problem. On my game, I have enemy tanks and the player shoots projectiles. The problem is that enemy tanks because they share the same bullet script with my player and I have an interface Idamageable, when enemy tanks are shooting projectiles to each other they are killing each other. What I want it to do is to only hit the player and to not be able to kill each other. I am not sure how to do it to tell you, I was thinking creating a new bullet script but it isn't a good practice if I already have a script for the bullet or maybe I was thinking to create a new interface because EnemyHealth and and PlayerHealth scripts both share IDamageable.

[teal viper]

Just make your script more generic. Add a shooter field to the bullets that describes the source object and check that on collision. Or use layermasks on colliders/RBs to prevent bullets from colliding with the enemies in the first place(if they are shot by the enemies).

Could also use tags. There are many ways. Creating a separate script for enemies is probably the worst way.

Maybe not the worst, but far from being a good one.

[sage mirage]

Can I do it with Interface or its not a good practice?

or maybe it doesn't make sense to create a new interface in this case

I dont think it make sense because both of them must be damageable

[teal viper]

You can for sure. It can be a good idea.

Reuse an existing interface.

[sage mirage]

basically I can create an interface based on the IDamageable interface no?

[teal viper]

An interface is just a contract for implementation though. So the correct way to think of it is - logic change requires contract change - > modify the interface to require the new contract.

[teal viper]

You mean interface inheriting a different interface? You can but I wouldn't rank it as a good solution for this specific problem.

[sage mirage]

I think I have to create an identity for the bullet basically.

probably enum

I think that also make sense

[compact sandal]

_hitPlayer.PlayerCollision.excludeLayers |= (1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ghostable"));

//some conditions later...
_hitPlayer.PlayerCollision.excludeLayers &= ~(1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ghostable"));

Why does this not temporarily disable collisions with the specified layer, when i check the exclude layers value when the first line is triggered, it's in there but for some reason it still does not ignore that layer.

[keen dew]

What is "it"? Show a complete example

[compact sandal]

using UnityEngine;

public class GhostMushroomController : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private int _effectLength;
    private PlayerController _hitPlayer;

    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (_hitPlayer != null) return;
        collision.gameObject.TryGetComponent<PlayerController>(out _hitPlayer);
        if (_hitPlayer == null) return;
        _hitPlayer.PlayerCollision.excludeLayers |= (1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ghostable"));
        Invoke("Kill", _effectLength);
        gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

    void Kill()
    {
        _hitPlayer.PlayerCollision.excludeLayers &= ~(1 << LayerMask.NameToLayer("Ghostable"));
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

PlayerCollision is the correct hitbox and in the game i can see the exclude layer value getting set to Ghostable

[keen dew]

Put a debug log in one of the colliding objects that prints which colliders are involved and what their layers and layer overrides are

[compact sandal]

I cant even get the oncollisionenter to trigger

Is it because i have multiple colliders? (the rest of them are triggers)

[keen dew]

If OnCollisionEnter doesn't trigger, it means it's working correctly. There is no collision between the excluded colliders. The collision is between some other colliders

[compact sandal]

do i need a rigidbody for oncollisionenter to trigger?

[night raptor]

Yes you do, for one of the colliding objects

[compact sandal]

oh alr

[muted grove]

    {
        // ground check
        grounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, playerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f, whatIsGround);

        MyInput();
        SpeedControl();

        // handle drag
        if (grounded)
            rb.linearDamping = groundDrag;
        else
            rb.linearDamping = 0;
    } ```
im following a tutorial and i get no drag whatsoever, am i writing something wrong?

[night raptor]

Two things I would confirm:

1. is the block within the if executed when you expect it to, in other words does the ground check work?
2. is groundDrag what you expect it to be, non-zero at least?

[muted grove]

ground check does work!
grounddrag is public float which should be changeable in inspector but it doesnt change anything :/

[night raptor]

You could confirm both by putting print(groundDrag) inside the if. If you think both work, my next guess would be that you are overriding the velocity in your movement logic. In that case the linearDamping doesn't do much since you are increasing the velocity next frame anyways

[muted grove]

i will try to check it out, im really new to unity and everything is so confusing 😵‍💫

[night raptor]

I feel you. If you send the rest of the code (SpeedControl is probably the interesting bit) and explain little more what you want to achieve with the ground drag, I can see if there is something obvious wrong. You should also link the tutorial you are following.

[muted grove]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f473C43s8nE&t=42s
im following this one, its a bit outdated but nothing unfixable, my main issues is with drag and speed control
im not at the pc anymore so will get to this in few hours.

[stark helm]

Guys, how could I get the down direction of a game object so I can raycast downward?I tried -transform.up but my ray goes to 0,0,0

[night raptor]

I don't see anything obvious being wrong here. Are you using the same drag and speed values as the tutorial does?

[stark helm]

I watched the same tutorial

I remember fixing some of the code

because it was old

[muted grove]

Drag in the tutorial is outdated, so it automatically changed it

[night raptor]

yeah the name of the variable changed ik but I meant the float variable values

[night raptor]

-transform.up is the local down direction. What does ray going to (0, 0, 0) even mean?

[muted grove]

I’m pretty sure I did, again I will sit down with it later in the evening and try to figure it out

But thank you for help

[stark helm]

so it shoots from the character and it goes all the way to Vector3.zero

[night raptor]

Can you show the code where you make the ray?

[stark helm]

its just the same code as Reneraki

I used the same video

[stark helm]

IsGrounded = Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, PlayerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f, Ground);```

it still prints false

Debug.Log(IsGrounded) -prints false

I think there is a problem with something

[night raptor]

You can use Debug.DrawRay to confirm your ray is configured correctly: Debug.DrawRay(transform.position, Vector3.down * (PlayerHeight * 0.5f + 0.2f))

[stark helm]

Thanks, now I will proceed to try this method of drawing rays

[stark helm]

it does look how it should be, I will now try to correct the direction, that should be the problem

[night raptor]

I don't understand how the direction can be wrong if it looks as it should

[stark helm]

It was the layer somehow

So it is fixed now

thanks

[night raptor]

That what I was coming to. If the ray points the right way and is the proper length to hit the object you want, it must be something with layers or colliders that make the hit not register

[polar jackal]

hey guys

im participating of an give away, where i have to do a game on an IA

[stark helm]

Hello sir, what might be the problem for which you have come here?

[polar jackal]

but i need like people to vote me

idk if its the right place to take this

🥲

i have to send a link for the votation

on MULERUN

[stark helm]

This might sound rude, but I dont understand what you just said there

[stark helm]

So like a president?

[polar jackal]

like im not english, i joined a giveaway on another server

a big giveaway

and like i created a game to join the giveaway

[stark helm]

ok and you need us to vote you ?

[polar jackal]

yes

on my game

[stark helm]

What is your game about?

[polar jackal]

its like a copy of pokemon inspired on GAMESIR, the server where is the give away

[stark helm]

I do think you need to go to #💻┃unity-talk

This is for code

[polar jackal]

but i need to send the link here

[polar jackal]

ok thank u, just actually need like 100 votes

[stark helm]

4 votes 🥀

post that on youtube

you might get more votes from viewers

[polar jackal]

at the moment i have just four

[stark helm]

tho you made a game

I could not make a game yet

[polar jackal]

but for 100 members here win me the giveaway

[stark helm]

Go to #💻┃unity-talk

and ask there

[night raptor]

Asking for votes on unrelated servers is probably not the way the giveaway was supposed to work. This is not the server for that anyways. This is mostly a server where people might ask for help with their game development problems, not solicit votes or advertise their own stuff

[polar jackal]

oh🙁

[stark helm]

That also works instead of sending him to #💻┃unity-talk

[stark helm]

If you really need votes(4000 dollars is a lot) make a youtube video showcasing your game

it usually works

[polar jackal]

it really helps

1st place its now with 64 points

[sour fulcrum]

<@&502884371011731486>

[stark helm]

you really did ping the moderators

That was the last resort man

Well I think you might be punished now

[polar jackal]

its a chair 900$ and 5 high end controllers

[stark helm]

I don't really care, I can't get the money

Unless you post a video and I see it

Then if I like the game I go vote it

The destroyers have been summoned

I will now dissapear(dont want to get banned or smth, because I am not involved🐱 )

[polar jackal]

i think im not publishing it, its like only 2 days the votation, a video on yt should not work

[strong wren]

@polar jackal This doesn't seem related to Unity programming. Don't advertise on this server like this.

[polar jackal]

ok

ill not do the same

[real thunder]

let's say I want to make all my mobs animations slower by 50% if it's under a debuff
is the best way to do that by adding modifier parameter to all animations?

[solar hill]

you can give all states a multiplier parameter

add a new float parameter name it speed or something

[real thunder]

yeah that's what I am talking about

I guess that will do it

wondered if there is something easier

Hello. I am trying to make a simple moving platform. It is a 3D project and I am using character controller to move the player. I have seen that to make the player move with the platform, they make the player a child of the platform when the player lands on it. But since I am using character controller and I dont have a normal collider, I dont know how to detect the player object when it lands on the platform. Does anyone know of any simple way to solve this?

[timber tide]

childing the character is a meme

just inherit the velocity when touching it

oh yeah also you can use this:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/CharacterController.OnControllerColliderHit.html
To get other characters/bodies, otherwise just do some physic queries like raycasting/overlapsphere

[echo ruin]

I'm very interested in some input regarding a bug I have. I have no clue why my code decides to mess up

I have a GridController script that manages what happens on my 2D grid. I can select areas in a rectangle or in a click-and-drag selection.. Good for future building. It works as intended

[naive pawn]

you should generally just send the question you have rather than leading with that as a separate message

you can include it, but have it as part of the same message

context will be lost

[echo ruin]

https://puu.sh/KLPUX/544740963d.gif

All good.
I then go on to write a debugging script and a basic stock/inventory script containing a dictionary that populates through some SOs. I choose to make this a static instance and a singleton, because why not. These are completely unrelated to my GridController script

Yet, after making the stock/inventory script, the features in the grid controller stops working.

I try to disable stuff and go back untill I single out what makes the grid features work again

And I end on this

https://puu.sh/KLPVk/6d3c3dfd67.png

//Instance = this;

Commenting out this line makes it work again

[wintry quarry]

What features stopped working? In what way do they stop working?
What do stock and inventory have to do with your grid controller at all?

[echo ruin]

The selection tool, for example, that you see in the gif above. Pressing the button does nothing.

There are no references between the stockinventory and the gridcontroller script.

[wintry quarry]

"does nothing" is pretty vague - Start using basic ebugging techniques to see at what point the code "fails" and how

is there an error? Is certain code you expect to be running not running?

YOu need to dig into it

A wild guess based on the extremely limited information you've given so fart is some kind of UI interaction event blocking situation. Both of these things sound like they're potentially related to using event system events, and maybe the inventory UI is blocking the grid selection, for example

but you need to do some actual debugging to confirm that

[echo ruin]

It seems to have disabled the buttons completely. It wont even run a Debug.Log() when I press the buttons

[wintry quarry]

right that points even more strongly to some UI blocking stuff

[polar acorn]

If commenting this line out fixes it, then either you're setting Instance somewhere else or you're never using it

Or you're getting errors and haven't mentioned them

[wintry quarry]

Commenting out the Instance assignment in the inventory code is probably breaking some code that displays the Inventory UI, leaving the grid selection stuff not blocked. That's my theory based on limited information

[echo ruin]

I'm not getting any errors at all.

[wintry quarry]

well you might not

for example if your code that shows the inventory ui has a guard clause it will just silently not work

Which is why guard clauses can sometimes be a bad idea

[polar acorn]

Where are you using StockInventory.Instance?

[wintry quarry]

Check your scene. Check your event system. See what is blocking the UI.

[echo ruin]

Nowhere as of yet.

[polar acorn]

Then commenting it out literally should not affect anything at all

[echo ruin]

That's what I would've thought as well

Which is why I find it strange

[naive pawn]

what if you uncomment it now? (in case it was just something that hadn't refreshed)

[polar acorn]

How about this, comment out the declaration of the variable

Do you have any errors then?

[echo ruin]

I'll try out a few things

https://puu.sh/KLPWC/2108e92750.png

This also makes it work again

Removing the /* makes it, once again, not work

[polar acorn]

So you probably have more than one of these

[echo ruin]

More than one singletons?

[polar acorn]

Yes

[echo ruin]

My GridController is also a singleton

[wintry quarry]

no you have more than one StockInventory object

[polar acorn]

Is your GridController a StockInventory?

[echo ruin]

YES

That's the culprit

It makes so much sense now

It works perfectly now

It even says so in the screenshot I posted. I must've gotten tunnel vision.
Thanks for the inputs and suggestions. It doesn't make me feel any less stupid, but I thought it might be some trivial issue or oversight, as it often is 😄

[sharp drum]

Thank you!

[noble rover]

Hey, I’m working on recreating the Kingdom Hearts lock-on system in Unity and I’ve got pretty much everything working smoothly.

The only issue I’m stuck on is target switching. Right now, switching left/right works correctly based on the current setup, but when the player moves to the opposite side of the target, the controls end up flipping.

So for example:

In one position, pressing right correctly cycles targets in the expected direction
But once the player moves to the other side of the target, pressing right now cycles in the wrong direction (it feels reversed)

I’m pretty sure this is happening because the system is using target-relative orientation, so when the player crosses to the other side, the reference flips.

What I’m trying to achieve is:
Direction should always feel consistent from the player/camera perspective
It should dynamically adjust when the player crosses around the target

I was thinking maybe detecting this with something like a dot product, raycast, or spherecast and then flipping the input direction based on orientation, but I’m not 100% sure what the best approach is.
Has anyone implemented something similar or have a good way to handle this?

Code: https://pastebin.com/MY8SWG6H

[quasi citrus]

heyy could anyone help me out with this? I would like to add a jump action but dont how

[timber tide]

your Move method there takes in a velocity

you're basically saying input direction * speed for your walking, but now you want to apply a y velocity along with it

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/CharacterController.Move.html
The API actually has some hints to give you an idea

[elfin yoke]

You also need a new InputActionReference for the jump

[quasi citrus]

so could I just copy that

and thank you guys for the help

[timber tide]

well, copy the jump and yeah ya need to add the jump InputAction as mentioned

on your input map or if you're using the component

[quasi citrus]

okay okay I will try it thank you so much

[fossil lava]

YO

[thorny merlin]

Hello everyone, need some help. so i try to reference the player_control script on player object to a script present on a gameobject outside of the scene that player is in. to fix this i set player's parent to DontDestroyOnLoad. When the gameover scene loads, it seems to be able to get the player_control script on void start and hence is able to display playerscore on gameover. but i keep getting these error messages saying a reference to player is not assigned when gameover scene loads.

No idea how i could possibly fix this

[polar acorn]

There exists an object with that tag that doesn't have that script on it

[queen vale]

Feels like an OnSceneLoaded() scenario

[thorny merlin]

well i checked and that doesnt seem to be the case. only one object in the entire game has a tag

[thorny merlin]

what do you mean?

[polar acorn]

According to your error, you do. This is a reason not to use Find by the way

Just drag in the reference directly

[thorny merlin]

but i cant drag it. player doesnt exist in that scene until the game is actually running and loads that gameoverscene, due to DontDestroy on load

[thorny merlin]

i'll try to see if i can find anything again

[polar acorn]

You could try logging the object after you get it, before trying to get the component

Oh, actually, check player too

player could also be null

Or player.score

Log all of those and find out which

[thorny merlin]

i am sry i dont know what you mean by log. debug.log?

[queen vale]

^ also sidenote, out of curiousity why is there menu score, then menu score manager both with the same script?

[thorny merlin]

God i have no idea, thanks for pointing it out. so embarassing

Holy shit that was problem

[queen vale]

Hah, no worries. The "manager" one has the text object populated, the other doesn't.

[thorny merlin]

yeah i noticed now

only been stuck on this for like half an hour now

[queen vale]

The more time spent on a problem, the better you remember the fix (kinda)

[thorny merlin]

well makes me feel a little better about it then

(kinda)

[elfin yoke]

hm you could also use a scriptable object to save your score 🤔 So it's scene independent

[queen vale]

True, or a static singleton, or playerprefs.

[polar acorn]

Not a good idea. ScriptableObjects behave differently in editor and in build. In the editor it'll save permanently any time it changes. In a build, it'll reset when you close the program

Best to never modify a ScriptableObject

[elfin yoke]

of course you have to write a score/highscore to a file. You could load it in while starting the game

[polar acorn]

The operative issue is that it always saves permanently in editor.

[shy mist]

hopefully right channel for this, I'm having an issue where I'm running gameObject.SetActive(false) on an object through a script, a debug log statement shows both activeSelf and activeInHierarchy as false, but in the editor itself the object never goes inactive (not in the hierarchy, not in the inspector, not in the actual game). A different script in the same project had no issue with setActive. I can include relevant scripts if needed

[polar acorn]

You test your game in the editor before a build and permanently alter the default score

[polar acorn]

Seems like the object you're disabling and the one you're logging the active state of are two different objects

[slender nymph]

honestly that wouldn't really be a problem provided you always overwrite what is stored in the SO on game launch

[elfin yoke]

so best to initialize the so on start 🙂

[polar acorn]

Yeah, but why give yourself the rope to hang yourself with? Better to copy data from an SO to a runtime-owned variable instead

That way your SO can be the source of the starting data that you copy from, instead of having a script re-initialize it using data hard-coded into a script

[shy mist]

It's a reference through a public variable, and a debug statement logging the gameObject also displays the name of the object I'm checking.

[polar acorn]

Show the code of where you're disabling it, and where you're checking it

[queen vale]

gameObject != referencedObject

[slender nymph]

i mean, it's high score data, presumably the source of truth for that on game launch is going to be the saved data. if none exists, assign 0. and that's really it

[polar acorn]

Right, for this specific case, the issues are easily mitigated, but it's best not to get in the habit of using SOs to store scene-persistent data

[shy mist]

Here is a different script in the same project that worked fine

Okay, and where do you assign rightClickMenu?

[queen vale]

First screenshot

[polar acorn]

Are any of these objects prefabs? Or do they all exist in the scene before starting?

[shy mist]

All exist before starting

[polar acorn]

Put a script on the object you're toggling that has this code in it:

void OnEnable() {
  Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} has been enabled", this);
}
void OnDisable() {
  Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name} has been disabled", this);
}

Check if something else is re-enabling it after you disable it with your click.

[shy mist]

Tysm!! I found the issue with that. Another script was calling SetActive(true) on Update

Guys, should i never try to move a character by his transform.position or by his Velocity attribute (rigidbody)? Are there exceptions?

I'm making a infinity runner where my character has a collider to detects hits so he can die from obstacles that goes from the right to the left side of the screen. When I was researching for previous games that i was developing, I saw a lot of posts saying we should only use Rigidbody2D.AddForce so we don't "override unity's physics engine". I also recall the docs advising against setting velocity directly. But if I have a very simple movement mechanic (my character just move vertically, to 2 specific points, medium jump and high jump, since the obstacles that moves towards him) should I still use a RigidBody2D.AddForce function or its okay to move by its transform.position or by his RigidBody2D.velocity.

[polar acorn]

If it has a rigidbody, you should never move it with transform.position. Even if you want teleportation, you should use rigidbody.position instead. Moving an object via transform will desync its position from the rigidbody and it can have issues trying to catch up (such as breaking collisions)

Setting velocity directly should be avoided if you want realistic physics, since it completely ignores momentum, friction, and mass, but if you want unrealistic motion then you can modify it just fine.

Basically, transform.position is bad for functional reasons, rigidbody.velocity is bad for realism reasons.

[west pelican]

Tysm!

[iron python]

is there a general chat where i can hang and like meet people who code round here?

Lovely, very useful 😄

Outside of #🔎┃find-a-channel.

[iron python]

good to know thank you oz!

[eternal needle]

none of the channels are meant for hanging around

[iron python]

well, my issue is i want to meet people who do this stuff, but not because i asked a question, simply because i rarely have questions to ask xD

so this server is pretty much not useful for anything but needing something? if i got that right. anywho! not the point of this channel so have a wonderful day XD

Fair, but if we don't know the goal, they're not bad places to reference or hover in.

Is there anyway to check if an animation hash exists? I'm uisng Animator.StringToHash() and storing the results and would like to do some kind of validation check .

nvm, just found animator.HasState();

[ruby python]

Sooo, I'm trying to come up with a culling system. I have an idea, that I think will work, but I'm struggling with how to do a certain 'bit'.

I'm generating my world with a simple grid, and storing the data in a list of Data Classes which holds the Tile ID (based on col, row) and other various data (the idea is to use object pooling for the tiles and the tile contents). The idea of my culling system is to keep as much as humanly possible out of the Update Loop.

So, my idea is to use a Dictionary to store the Tile ID (As the key) and the list indexID as the tileData is generated and then use the player position to run the query to turn on/off tiles. But I'm struggling to figure out how to get the players position in terms of the row/column of my grid.

Bit of pseudo-ish

playerPosition  ((Do some funky maths)) playerPosition is within cell(col, row)
Grab the cell from the dictionary
  (Also grab the surrounding cells
    currentcell(col, row +1) (above)
    currentcell(col, row -1) (below)
    currentcell(col +1, row) (right)
    currentcell(col -1, row) (left)
    currentcell(col -1, row+1) (Above left)
    currentcell(col -1, row-1) (Below left)
    currentcell(col +1, row+1) (Above right)
    currentcell(col +1, row-1) (below right)
  )

  grab the tile data from the Class list
  Do pool enabling/position etc. etc. based on data from the selected Class(es)

I guess firstly, is this a feasible method?
And would anyone have a clue on the maths involved in 'converting' the players position to correspond with the ground tile positions in terms of cols/rows?

[muted grove]

Sorry for late reply, but no everything seems fine...

[thorny merlin]

just saw this after waking up, its so much better than whetever mess i was trying;

[real thunder]

I have to be doing something really silly if I get issues with that but anyway can't figure out

        freeze_koeff -= freezing_on_hit;
        Mathf.Clamp(freeze_koeff, freeze_koeff_min, freeze_koeff_norm);
        Debug.Log(freeze_koeff + " " + freeze_koeff_min + " " + freeze_koeff_norm);

it still keep decreasing, what how

aaaaagh

clamp doesn't clamps it is a value itself

keep forgetting

[naive pawn]

primitives are immutable

gotta have a mental separation between mutation and transformation

[sage mirage]

Hey, guys! I would like to try saving my highscore on JSON instead of using Player Prefs. Could you please explain to me how it works?

I have some values to be saved like Highscore and afterwards Leaderboard scores

[keen dew]

The Internet is full of tutorials for that

[sage mirage]

ok now I have another question

Does it make sense for ScoreManager to live in both TitleScene and MainScene, because I have to calculate score and highscore. So, the score will be calculated at runtime when the player is playing in the Main Scene and the highscore will be calculated as a result of the player performance in Title Scene. I was thinking to create a Score Manager in Title Scene and then just do DDOL like I do with my other Managers I have because highscore will be located in title scene

What do you think probably it has to be a Singleton right?

I always think about Architecture

[naive pawn]

if it needs to persist (sounds like it does) then it could be a singleton

if it's a DDOL singleton, you could have it in both scenes for ease of testing
if it's a additive scene singleton, you would have it in the additive scene

[sage mirage]

First time I hear about Additive Scene Singleton what does it mean?

Its when you create a singleton on an additive scene?

Oh I think you mean if I have created my own Additive scene and using Singleton

instead of the built in way with DDOL right?

[naive pawn]

this is also built-in

you can have stuff in a persistent additive scene that doesn't get unloaded and you can keep singletons there

[sage mirage]

so its the bootstrap scene we were talking about a few days ago or its not the same because bootstrap is an additive scene no?

[naive pawn]

no clue what you're referring to, i don't remember every convo

you could have the additive scene be both for the bootstrapping and for persistent objects

these are different jobs that can be solved by the same idea

[acoustic maple]

Vector3 direction = Vector3.Reflect(b_Rigidbody.linearVelocity, collision.contacts[0].normal);

b_Rigidbody.linearVelocity=direction*10;

trying to get it to get it to just move in the opposite direction. but it does this

[naive pawn]

have you tried debugging the collision normal? perhaps the geometry isn't as expected?

[acoustic maple]

How do I debug it?

[undone rampart]

Probably because you add velocity on the Y as well

[acoustic maple]

Ok where am I doing that?

[undone rampart]

linearVelocity is a vector 3

[naive pawn]

perhaps draw the arrow and see if it's expected

[naive pawn]

they're in 3d

[undone rampart]

when you reflect it, it's going to give you a Y value as well

[ruby python]

Anyone? Please? Don't mean to be impatient. Just a stumbling block that i need to get past before I can move on. lol.

[undone rampart]

and you multiply that Y value by 10 which makes the ball shoot upwards

[naive pawn]

is the grid just simple cartesian or is it isometric or something?

[acoustic maple]

How would I fix that

[ruby python]

It's a simple flat grid (x/z), top down game.

[naive pawn]

this would be intended behavior

[naive pawn]

you would not

[acoustic maple]

? I don’t want it to launch in the air

[naive pawn]

doesn't mean you wouldn't want a Y component

your board is angled

you should have a Y component

[acoustic maple]

Ok. How would I stop ti from launching in the air then

[naive pawn]

for the second question, it's mainly just converting the world pos into cell pos
this could involve doing ±0.5, dividing by the cell size (in world units), and/or applying an offset (to set the origin properly), depending on how the grid is set up

[naive pawn]

debug the normal, see why it's launching first

[undone rampart]

Vector3 velocity = direction * 10f;
b_Rigidbody.linearVelocity = new Vector3(velocity.x,
b_Rigidbody.linearVelocity.y, velocity.z);

[naive pawn]

you aren't showing the side with the collision, but given that there's a visible lip here, i would guess that you're hitting the lip instead of the inner bouncer

[acoustic maple]

how do I debug the normal?

[undone rampart]

personally I would just use the AddForce function rather then modifying the velocity directly

[naive pawn]

#💻┃code-beginner message

[naive pawn]

this is probably what's happening

you can debug the normal to confirm or deny

this would be fixed by fixing the geometry, not a code fix

[ruby python]

Yeah, in my head I should be able to 'convert' the player.transform.position to a col, row coordinate system. (ie. playerPosition -> some maths -> col/row) Just struggling to figure out the maths. lol.

[acoustic maple]

that was it I moved it down

[naive pawn]

consider this - the 2 coordinate systems are already in the same shape, so it's relatively simple, you just have to match the scaling and offset, and then turn it into an integer

if the grid cells are each 1 world unit in size (as the probably should be?) then the scaling is already handled

for offset you'd probably want 0,0 of the grid at the world origin as well but i don't remember how Grid handles that (if that's what you're using)

the one that might be harder to wrap your head around would be the integer thing, as you might have to do ±0.5 then consider if it's ceil/floor/trunc, for example

for that last part i'd recommend drawing out both grids overlaid, and then draw a few sample points to figure out how you want the positions to map exactly

[acoustic maple]

I want it to go back but it does the red arrow

[naive pawn]

debug the normal

check if it's as expected first

[ruby python]

My tile size is currently 20x20 units (but that's easy multiplication really).

So, and just thinking 'out loud', I'd be looking at something like playerPosition.x + mathf.floor (or toInt) + 10 = col

[naive pawn]

why are your tiles so large

is that perhaps your tilemap as a whole?

[ruby python]

gimme a sec. Might be easier to post a pic of the world.

[naive pawn]

also debug the incoming velocity, if you're doing this on OnCollisionEnter then that's after the physics tick, so it mightve already changed direction.
iirc there's a contact filter thing that you can use to intercept this, but i don't remember if that's for 2d or 3d

[acoustic maple]

Thanks I will check when I can

[ruby python]

Sorry, forgot to change the map size and takes a while to generate atm (Instantiating currently until I figure some other bits out).

First Image - Scene view of the map ( I use a biome map image to assign materials to the tiles.

Second Image, Game view. Large tiles so that I can have a large map with fewer tiles and large-ish biome chunks. If that makes sense?
@naive pawn

[naive pawn]

i see

is the origin for each tile at its center or at a corner?

[ruby python]

At it's center.

[naive pawn]

and the tile nearest 0,0 (world) is at 0,0 (world), right?

as in something like this

[ruby python]

Well, lol. At the moment I'm generating the grid and then moving the Tile parent so that the tile grid is centered in the world. So the Tile parent (with these settings) is at -2000,0,-2000

[naive pawn]

that doesn't really answer my question

i'm asking about grid alignment

[ruby python]

Oh sorry, col1, row1 is at bottom left corner.

[naive pawn]

that also doesn't answer my question

[ruby python]

https://hastebin.com/share/oquyeritas.csharp

[naive pawn]

is the tile that's closest to 0,0 in world space positioned like this

[sage mirage]

GHey, guys! I have a question. Is it possible to do DDOL without creating a Singleton?

[naive pawn]

those are completely separate concepts, yes

[sage mirage]

Like just DDOL

[naive pawn]

i'm not going to run this in my head to figure it out, man

go to your world origin and see if the tile is positioned like how i described, or with a corner at 0,0

[sage mirage]

That goes for my question?

[naive pawn]

DDOL and Singleton are unrelated concepts. you can have one without the other.

[sage mirage]

ok

[ruby python]

Oh crap, sorry, misunderstood what you meant. My bad. Yeah the center most tile is at world 0,0,0

[sour fulcrum]

dontdestroyonload is just an additive scene thats always loaded

[ruby python]

The center of the tile I mean. Sorry, bit cabbaged. lol.

[sage mirage]

So if I want to only use DDOL I will do just DontDestrouOnLoad(game object) without even writing Instance = this right

[naive pawn]

you use DDOL to use DDOL, yeah

[naive pawn]

alright and how do you want the origin of the tile coordinates to work? is it at the center, at a corner, is there negative 0, etc

[ruby python]

The origin of the tiles/tile coordinates should be the center.

[naive pawn]

what should the tile directly next to (0,0) in the negative direction be

[ruby python]

-20,0,0

[naive pawn]

in tile coordinates, not world coordinates

[sage mirage]

Also, you can do DDOL on any object right doesn't matter if it is a Manager or not or a parent class or child or whatever right?

[naive pawn]

https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/Object.DontDestroyOnLoad.html

the description says how it behaves for various inputs.

[sour fulcrum]

also pretty much the same thing as
https://docs.unity3d.com/6000.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.MoveGameObjectToScene.html

[naive pawn]

(though notably-ish, DDOL accepts Object rather than GameObject)

[ruby python]

It should be -20 units on the x from from the 'current' tile. If that's what you mean? (Just realised I added an extra ,0 lol.)

[sage mirage]

Yes I mean we don't use it only for Managers, but for anything we want to keep persistent across our scenes right? And yes that what I was about to say, it takes only Object not Game Object and what is the difference?

[naive pawn]

that's -20 units worldspace. i'm asking in tile coordinates

your target output

[naive pawn]

read the description

[ruby python]

Oh, do you mean in terms of cols/rows, then it'll be -1,0

[naive pawn]

the math should be quite straightforward then, no offset needed
round(worldPos/20) or floor(worldPos/20+0.5) or ceil(worldPos/20-0.5)

depending on which tile (10,-10) worldPos should be on (tile closest to 0, tile in positive direction, tile in negative direction?) (not in order)

[ruby python]

Aaaah okay. Sorry was being a bit dense. Really appreciate the help, if nothing else it's a starting point, that's where I was struggling. lol.

So, just so I have it clear in my own head, rounding should (when I get which method to use down) basically give me my column/row coordinate, and then I can query my Dictionary?

[naive pawn]

i get it, sometimes it gets much more obvious once it clicks lol

[ruby python]

Yeah it was just knowing where to start. lol.

[naive pawn]

round/trunc/floor/ceil are methods that can map reals onto integers

so from the real plane you can map to grid cells

you would probably have a dict of Vector2Ints for that yeah

(though, i haven't put much thought into that part of the question, i was mainly focusing on the coordinates thing, so can't say if there's a better way)

[ruby python]

Yeah I've used a couple of those before 🙂 And yeah, the idea is Vector2Ints to store all my tiles coords (use that as the key), and then the index of the tile in the tile list. And then do my pool 'spawning' based on that index.

[hollow cradle]

Why do some people use like myNum myName myThing instead of mynum or num?

[polar acorn]

camelCase is considered the standard form for naming variables.

Hey, guys! I would like to have some feedback on my UIEventsSO script. Specifically, I would like to know how to clean up my code and if it's the right way I did it with Actions. Can I use a Data Structure maybe for Actions to make it cleaner. What do you recommend?
https://paste.myst.rs/wg45azr0

[acoustic maple]

Was just able to check it is OnCollisionEnter

[sage mirage]

I know Scriptable Object actually is a Data Structure but I am really not sure if I have to write my action fields this way.

The fact that you started with Unity and actually want to learn is a good sign. From what I know a lot of kids start with Roblox Studio and there are many of them.

Bump

[slim solar]

Was your issue that the ball was jumping into the air when hitting the bouncer?

I tried going up and reading your previous msgs

[lone sable]

Typically, how are Hitbox Colliders handled on attacks? Are they toggled via Animation Events? This seems cumbersome to setup using the Import Settings -> Animation.

[wintry quarry]

I wouldn't be targetting colliders on or off. Generally you would use direct physics queries and yes from an animation event often.

[naive pawn]

(btw you can right click > copy text to see the markdown for any message in discord)

[lone sable]

Sorry, what do you mean by Direct Physics Queries in this case?

[naive pawn]

Physics[2D].OverlapX/XCast

[sour fulcrum]

(and yes, animation events do suck even if they are common)

[acoustic maple]

I fixed that. I was told there is filter to fix my OnCollisionEnter happening after the physics

[wintry quarry]

As Chris said Cast/Overlap/Check functions in the Physics class

[lone sable]

Why would I be using Physics Overlap/Casts? Assuming I want a giant troll swinging a giant mace, I'd have to do that every frame and track the position I want it + rotation + scale etc no?

Would it not be easier to just have a child collider on the club and toggle it via animation events?

[lone sable]

-# Its mostly that they suck to implement through the Import Animation window... if I could do it on the normal Animation Timeline I wouldn't hate it as much.

[acoustic maple]

Btw I am coming from game maker how do I update a variable from another script?

[naive pawn]

would it not be easier to have a child collider on the club and discard/keep events via internal state?

[naive pawn]

https://unity.huh.how/references.html

that was not an invitation to fr me.

[sour fulcrum]

There's no single ideal approch to this kind of thing but there can be value in handling more stuff via code directly than relying on specific gameobject setups

[wintry quarry]

Well for one - most of the time attacks only have one or two "attack" frames in the first place.

For two - yes you could cast every frame or over several frames. It really depends on the characteristics of the attack you want.

For three - using colliders makes it COMPLICATED. You need to basically build a state machine. Because you need to wait for physics callbacks. It also gets complicated with tracking rigidbody states, different collision handling modes and you miss out on "realism" in some ways because a collider moved via animation isn't going to be playing that well with the physics engine. In contract the direct queries give you immediate feedback.

But then if you are - say - making a physics-based combat, then maybe you want to use real colliders. It all depends how your game works

[acoustic maple]

I was looking at getComponent but I don’t understand. I am trying to take the Points Var from my Score_Manager script in my Controller object

[naive pawn]

then you need a reference to Score_Manager in Controller

GetComponent is one of the ways to achieve that

[lone sable]

I'm in the learning/prototype phase so. Deff still just trying to figure out what the best approach would be.

[slim solar]

I would suggest a collider on the troll itself in the shape of a half-cylinder, or whatever it's attack swing is. You turn it on/off with the attack. This is the cleanest for both sanity and gameplay and is how many/most games are done.

Attaching it to the actual troll weapon means your swing animation needs to be perfect or the club will miss most of the time.

Basically if you are in front of the troll when it swings, you get hit. That's the half-cyllinder collider

[acoustic maple]

The Controller is not where I want to move it to. It is where the points script is used

[naive pawn]

no clue what you're saying there

i didn't say to move anything

[near wadi]

Nice! Thanks 🙂

[naive pawn]

also, you said in your previous message that you had a points variable, now you're saying it's a script?

[lone sable]

This is essentially what I have currently as shown in this clip. But, the enabling/disabling is all handled via animation events, and I'm not a huge fan of this.

[acoustic maple]

I ment var. I have a point manager script

[naive pawn]

so you need a reference to that component, in the place you want to use it

[acoustic maple]

So point_manager.getComponent?

[naive pawn]

no, GetComponent is one of the ways to get that reference

did you go through any of the "learn more" links

you'd probably be using serialized references here anyways

also, have you gone through any unity learn courses?

[slim solar]

That looks good, it might miss smaller enemies if you end up having them.
I haven't done this in unity but in Unreal engine their animation event system was really good.
Is unity's animation even system hard/annoying to use?

There might be a plugin that simplifies it in that case

Tends to be a plugin for everything in unity lol

[lone sable]

Its very annoying 🙂 When you import an animation, there doesn't appear to be a way to view it by frames unless you duplicate the animations into your project.

[timber crag]

I haven't even touched scripting outside of roblox studio yet, can somebody please tell me what langauge Unity runs on? I want to start working outside of roblox due to their trashy updates for publishing:)

[acoustic maple]

Yes

[naive pawn]

the animation pane..?

(notably, not the animator pane)

[naive pawn]

c#, this is something you can google. consider doing that for similarly simple questions

[timber crag]

Google was gatekeeping it from me for some reason

[lone sable]

Animation Tab on the Import Settings.

[timber crag]

but thank you^^

[slim solar]

https://youtu.be/pBD-Nuqf3EY?t=52
It looks like it should be viewable by frames and scrubbing the timeline

[naive pawn]

googling well is also a skill

[timber crag]

Why does it show for you

[naive pawn]

this isn't what i'm referring to

[lone sable]

It is, but with imported animations via an FBX. Its marked as "Read Only" so you can't add events.

[slim solar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEDi7fUCQos
First few seconds tells me this might help you 😄

[lone sable]

I know, but it is the only way to add them unless there is a way to mark an FBX as not read only without duplicating out the animations.

[naive pawn]

im confused, i said "animation pane" in response to this

there doesn't appear to be a way to view it by frames

[polar acorn]

What does yours show when you search it

[lone sable]

Correct. But you can't apply events to a read only animation that way.

[naive pawn]

there wasn't even a mention of that in the message i replied to, you're just moving the goalposts lmao 😆

[lone sable]

Sure thing.

[slim solar]

check the vid i linked, it fixes your exact issue 😉

[lone sable]

I did. If anything, it overly complicates it based on what I'm seeing. Doesn't make it any easier then doing it the same way I'm doing it currently. :/

https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/animation/quick-animation-events-manage-animation-events-easily-311920

These might help, first one looks like it was designed after the unreal engine's animation events

they prob also remove the read only frustrations
