Side note, consider using Awake methods when grabbing components. Unless you have a reason to use a later method like Start, it is prone to issues as the method might not have run in time.

#

There's also an attribute that you can use of which the name slips my mind, then it just auto assign this. That's also very useful here.

fading marten
#

I've tried using awakes, they didn't seem to work

burnt vapor
#

Try anyway, it should just work. Otherwise that's a problem worth tackling since you can't work around not using awakes

#

hang on I tried characterController but I cannot put anything into it

swift crag
#

show me what you've done

fading marten
swift crag
#

drag whatever object has the controller on it into the field

#

unity will grab the correct component from it

fading marten
#

ty

swift crag
#
  • Player <-- has the CharacterController
    • whatever
      • thingy <-- has the Animator and returnRun on it
#

drag Player into the field

#

You can also right click on Player in the hierarchy and open another inspector panel by hitting "Properties"

#

This is useful if the component is ambiguous

#

e.g. you have two of the same component on the object

hi

#

i need help i cant use unity for some reason

#

im on linux (cachy os, arch based distro) and when im using unity, fonts are very small in unity app

#

i tried 2x scale but its so big

#

how can i scale it 1.5x or else?

frail hawk
#

does not have much to do with coding why post it here

red snow
# eager seal how can i scale it 1.5x or else?

Hi, yes this is a common scaling issue on Linux with Unity. You can set custom scaling like 1.5x instead of only 1x or 2x by forcing UI scale through environment variables or desktop scaling settings. Try launching Unity with this command: GDK_SCALE=2 GDK_DPI_SCALE=0.75 unityhub , This gives something close to 1.5x scaling.

Quick question, what's BurstDebugInformation and why should it not be shipped?

swift crag
#

the Burst system compiles C# into native code

#

to make this easier to debug, BurstDebugInformation provides extra information about this generated code (e.g. which lines of C# correspond to what parts of the generated code)

#

it's not massively harmful to give this to players, but it's not useful for them

#

(i guess you'd care if you were really, really secretive about your soure code)

If it's reused, in its own Level design scene that is loaded with the levels.

Hello, I'm really confused. I'm trying to use a Unity asset in Unity 6, and the official documentation says it should work. It's imported into my project correctly.

slender nymph
#

do you see all of those same errors in the unity console?

#

-# also that new test() part looks like it should be an error no matter what

fresh wadi
slender nymph
#

i said unity console

fresh wadi
#

not sure

image.png
slender nymph
#

so the answer is no, not all of those errors show up in unity. this means you need to address the ones that do show up in the unity editor, then regenerate the project files and visual studio should start seeing the package

golden notch
#

ok so i'm planning to make a script that has an entity look at you if you're close by it... and i think the Update function would be too much each tick for all entities to check the posiiton of all players? Or will this be fine?

#

i guess i could have a collider? but for each npc?

slender nymph
#

i would go with something like an overlapsphere (or overlapcircle if in 2d) to check whether a player is nearby, then you can just put that into FixedUpdate so it isn't checking every single frame (which is pointless anyway since physics only automatically updates collider positions on FixedUpdate frames anyway)

#

and if you are concerned about performance, then use the profiler to see if there even is something to be concerned about

it could be 2D because its simple but it has animation stress
it could be 3D because it doesnt have tougher animations, but you have to manage a lot of things like performance for instance..

  1. Use [SERIALIZE FIELD] to make a private variable modifiable in the explorer

  2. Try to not use bland numbers in code since it makes it hard to read (it makes it hard to read and isn't open to modification later) unless it's zero

The rest of the notes I took are very specific and its kind of a long list

Odin is the best solution (paid) for inspector customisation

#

BUT all of these solutions will override custom inspectors unless they are changed to inherit from the package base one

If not using a custom inspector it just works

# lusty osprey To me ive been doing it for 3 months now. Feels like Im just studying theory

I always always always recommend game jams to new devs, there are game jams specifically for technical art stuff too. If you feel like all you're doing in learning theory, try applying it in a small project. Like you're learning noise generation rn so try applying it to make a little infinite runner game or water shader. You dont need to finish it or release it, just try to make something with what you learned. If you're feeling like learning the underlying algorithms feels pointless, the usefulness of learning these kinds of complicated systems isn't always in actually knowing them. It exercises your brain for programmatic thinking that makes you capable of solving more and more difficult problems. Although for technical art, I'd think knowing perlin noise would be pretty important

# foggy sparrow Hi, i got some problem with my player controller. im learning on how to handle s...

for slopes you want to project your movement vector onto the slope's plane (what the drawing shows). When you check for the ground, you can get the actual ground object you're colliding with, and the normal of the collision. Use that normal to then set velocity to the result of Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(orginalVelocity, groundNormal) * originalVelocity.magnitude. I'm not sure of Physics.CheckSphere() will give you a normal since I think its just checks for colliders contained in the sphere rather than doing an actual physics cast, so you might need to change your ground check to a Physics.SphereCast(), and get the normal out of raycastHit.normal.

image.png
#

mb i was making it a reply

foggy sparrow
#

i did that, was skeetchy but seams to work now :p

#

i also made a state for when the player is jumping since the slope thing was killing my upward velocity

toxic yacht
# foggy sparrow i did that, was skeetchy but seams to work now :p

as a side note its generally advised not set a rigidbody's velocity directly each update since it can result in some jank behavior. Unity is alreay simulating forces on that rb, so youre basically fighting with it over control of what should happen. But tbh I only start see issues from doing that if Im making a game with a lot of rigidbody interactions.

#

if you start seeing things like your player jittering around when they're pushed, or phasing through walls, that usually means you hit one of those problems. In that case you can use AddForce() with ForceMode.VelocityChange (i think thats the right mode), make a kinematic controller which is a massive pain, or use unity's character controller component (or any other on the asset store).

Im playing around with making some player interactasble thing like door and some stuff with the animator

Could i borrow someones eyes for a moment?
I'm working on a basic interaction system and when I added a sort of debounce to avoid getting hundreds of interactions I seem to have messed something up. The player can now only interact once, before needing to leave the interactionRadius, and re-entering it. I can see the the 'canInteract' does return to true, but if i remain in the radius, it doesn't allow me to interact again.

Pastebin
interaction system - Pastebin.com

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

toxic yacht
#

Your coroutine will run while canInteract is true. Which means once canInteract is set to false the actual logic for starting the interaction won't run until the coroutine is started again when the player re-enters the trigger

queen vale
#

So i should add a second bool playerInRadius that the coroutine runs from..

Yep that would be the easiest fix

I'm trying to access particle system material type from another object to use in the object I script for. I do have it that script knows which object do I want to read from (other parts of the script interact with that correct game object).
What should I write to get material from target object to the object I'm scripting?
Currently the code I have is as follows:
particlesRenderer.material = currentTarget.GetComponent<ParticleSystem>().material
Here "particlesRenderer" is reference to ParticleSystemRenderer of the object I'm scripting in and "currentTarget" is the target object from which I'm trying to get material. Problem is that it throws out CS1061, where it doesn't recognize ".material" at the end.

Is there any reason i shouldnt use a singleton with ANYTHING that qualifies?
Ive been using it for game manager type objects, but is it okay to use with other scripts as long as i never have more then 1 of them

grand snow
swift crag
#

what does "flexible" mean, though?

#

i think they're very flexible :p

#

Of course, if you realize that the thing isn't a singleton, you've shot yourself in the foot

keen dew
#

It's very difficult to describe why all-singletons type architecture is bad until you run into the issues that it can create. You could look up why global variables are considered harmful in modern programming (C# doesn't even have true global variables) since singletons create similar kind of global access. Basically passing references around is sometimes cumbersome, but that's a good thing because it forces you to think about how to structure the code better and what responsibilites different objects have. If you get an easy access to everything from everywhere, you easily end up with spaghetti code that gets tangled more and more until it becomes unreadable and unmaintainable at worst

grand snow
#

Basically this

#

To me most of the time its "im lazy so static ref easy"

mint imp
grand snow
#

I encountered an issue relating to singleton use recently at my work (was a camera preset system)
Past designs presumed only one would exist at once but a new project changed this and thus started breaking things

The solution? Change to direct serialized references + pass a ref.

The basic process is "Write a file that says what you have" and "read that file and turn it back into variables"

There's a lot of ways to accomplish that. JSON serialization is the easiest, because you can serialize and deserialize entire objects by just calling a function. Then all you need to do is create an object that serves as your "save data" in game that everything else reads from to know what you have loaded

    {
        if (!cursorActive)
        {
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
            Cursor.visible = false;
        }
        else
        {
            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.None;
            Cursor.visible = true;
        }
    }

at the start of the Update function, i've put a Debug.Log :
LockState: Locked | cursorActive: False | visible: False

Anyone know why my cursor is "locked" and "visible False" in my engine, but not locked and still visible in the Editor ?
I've try to build the game, and I have the same problem with the build 😕

ver: Unity 6000.4.4f1

Are you actually calling it anywhere?

yep, It is call at the end of Initialize, and in a ProcessInput function (called in the Update)

if ( inputKeyDownCursor )
        {
            ToggleLockCursor();

what is inputKeyDownCursor? How does that get set?

the inputKeyDownCursor is :

inputKeyDownCursor = Input.GetKeyDown( keyToggleCursor );
[...]
public KeyCode keyToggleCursor    = KeyCode.BackQuote;

But stop searching haha
I think I've found out the origin : I'm a BrainFarter !

I'm working on a REMOTE machine !
The visible and not locked cursor is on the CURRENT machine....... The remote one seems to be unvisible AND locked '-_-

Sorry for the time '-_-

[SOLVED]
I think I'm misunderstanding Unity's built-in ObjectPool. Here's the important bit of my code: https://pastes.dev/NADWSIUxuh
As far as I know, ObjectPools should prefer to use "actionOnGet" as long as there exists a disabled version of the desired object. And it should certainly do this when the number of objects in the pool is less than the maxSize. But in my experience it seems to continually call "createFunc". I have defaultCapacity and maxSize set arbitrarily low to test this

pastes

a simple pastebin.

#

the bullet has no code to destroy or disable itself, all of that is handled by the script that contains the code in the link

#

please @ me with any response 🙏

wintry quarry
#

But generally it will be always calling both createFunc and actionOnGet on newly created bullets

#

and it won't be able to reuse any bullets until some have been returned to the pool

floral zealot
#

I think it ended up being a dumb mistake of me calling my chosen release method instead of the objectpool's release haha, i wish i caught it before sending the question

wintry quarry
#

ah yep - should be pool.Release(bullet)

floral zealot
#

indeed. all works now. thank you for taking a look regardless! i'll keep in mind the bit about needing more detail for future questions

I am currently making a camera zooming script and I noticed a bug whilst in the editor, when I am scrolling down my inspector it now zooms my camera, because Mouse.current.middleButton.isPressed is technically true, even though I am not trying to zoom in the game viewer.

i having problem
im making unity multiplayer game and im using unity transport and got the network manager script and all
i put the port as 7777 and we are using zerotier which my friend is on the network and is authorised and so am i
the address is also the correct address in the zerotier so its not that
we both gave access to the game in our firewall and when we launch i host the game and it works but friend clicks client and it doesnt even do anything
i can host on one instance and join myself on it
my friend can also host on one instance and join himself i just cant join him and he cant join me
we only have one host at a time so its not that i just dont know why this is happening
i tried ai and he said this script should work hostButton and clientBUtton are buttons and their good

using Unity.Netcode;
using Unity.Netcode.Transports.UTP;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class ConnectUIScript : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private Button hostButton;
[SerializeField] private Button clientButton;

private void Start()
{
    hostButton.onClick.AddListener(HostButtonOnClick);
    clientButton.onClick.AddListener(ClientButtonOnClick);
}

private void HostButtonOnClick()
{
    Debug.Log("HOST CLICKED");

    var transport = NetworkManager.Singleton.GetComponent<UnityTransport>();
    transport.SetConnectionData("0.0.0.0", 7777);

    NetworkManager.Singleton.StartHost();
}

private void ClientButtonOnClick()
{
    Debug.Log("CLIENT CLICKED");

    var transport = NetworkManager.Singleton.GetComponent<UnityTransport>();
    transport.SetConnectionData("127.0.0.1", 7777);

    NetworkManager.Singleton.StartClient();

how do I disable srgb sampling for my rendertexture? I am storing a packed normal map and srgb is skewing the vectors

grand snow
worn nymph
#

created at runtime. packed via. *0.5 + 0.5 then unpacked with the inverse. therefore 0, 1, 0 gets packed to 0.5, 1, 0,5, skewed by srgb and then unpacked completely wrong

#

yea but that doesnt answer the question i asked

#

you can create a plain old texture with your data thats not srgb too

my Update() function in a script thats on a prefab is not firing whatsoever when its instantiated from a list, regardless if the list is for a GameObject or ScriptableObject, everything is being initialized just fine, but if i drag in the prefab into the scene through the editor or instantiate the object but not from a list, Update() fires just fine.

the script is enabled its in the object, everything except for Update() is running, though i did figure this out and im actively fixing it, hopefully whichever solution i figured out works, as the objects are a child of a manager, and whatever is not selected gets disabled

If a parent object is disabled all of its children are also disabled

This isn't, no. #💻┃unity-talk

However, this is the classic case where your camera is simply not pointing at your character. Start with setting your character to 0,0,0 so it's at least somewhere useable. Then position your camera at something like 0,0,-10 so it's sharing the same x/y but pulled back a bit so that it can actually see it.

Any time after you set it, but using a 2D raycast should solve the problem

put it into the Update , ideally right after your isGrounded = code

It's not the easiest to spot, it took me a bit before I noticed. I was expecting the issue to be related to the layering

should i put 2D after all the raycast commands?

I provided the code link along with the ss of the inspector

about the other animations not working (i presume just jump?) make sure you've linked up the transitions and params correctly, try debugging to make sure the params update as expected

Hello, I'm making a game that will have many enemies in it and I want to try to make a spawner object that can assign models and behaviors for enemies so that I dont have to make a million different prefabs for very similar enemies. I heard scriptable objects may be the way to go, but I dont know if the spawner itself should be the scriptable object or the enemies?

I want to assign things like enemy model, bullet type, health, movement angle, etc

Okay, so I have this stack of data here


public class SpawnerData : ScriptableObject

    public GameObject enemyType;
    public GameObject bulletType;
    public Transform spawnPoint;
    public float enemySpeed = 2;
    public float movementAngle = 0;
  
}```

How do I take the data from here and assign it to my enemy spawner? This is my attempt at a spawner thus far, but it doesnt seem to work. 

```public class EnemySpawner : MonoBehaviour
{   [SerializeField] private SpawnerData dataList;

    private float enemyInterval = 3f;

    public Enemy enemyType;

    private IEnumerator spawnEnemy(float interval, GameObject enemy)
    {   yield return new WaitForSeconds(interval);
        EnemyTest newEnemy = Instantiate(dataList.enemyType,    dataList.spawnPoint.position, dataList.spawnPoint.rotation);
        newEnemy.enemyHealth = dataList.enemyHealth;
        newEnemy.bulletType = dataList.bulletType;
        newEnemy.enemySpeed = dataList.enemySpeed;
        newEnemy.movementAngle = dataList.movementAngle;
        StartCoroutine(spawnEnemy(interval,newEnemy));

You're trying to store an EnemyTest class as a GameObject ur gonna have to convert it/change the class of newEnemy first

I see. Okay so I changed the name and yeah it still says cannot convert to gameobject. I guess I'll google...

This is technically my second project so I thought I could do something a lil more challenging. Once I get this spawner to work my game is basically finished so Im very close

keen raven
#

Thank you

Ah Ive used GetComponents<ComponentType>() before. I dont quite understand how that can be used to change Enemy into a game object though.

sour fulcrum
#

you cannot change something thats one type into another type like that

keen raven
#

How would I do it? Im trying to do it like

SpawnerData newEnemy = (GameObject)Instantiate(dataList.enemyType, dataList.spawnPoint.position, dataList.spawnPoint.rotation);

and

SpawnerData newEnemy = Instantiate(dataList.enemyType, dataList.spawnPoint.position, dataList.spawnPoint.rotation) as GameObject;
but its giving the same error

slender nymph
#

why are you casting to GameObject at all?

keen raven
#

Because unity seems to be upset that its not a gameobject (I guess since Im trying to assign transforms?)

slender nymph
#

Instantiate will return the same type of object you pass as the first parameter, so if dataList.enemyType is a SpawnerData then it will return a SpawnerData which, presumably, cannot be cast to GameObject. if it is a GameObject then it will return a GameObject thus the cast is entirely pointless

slender nymph

Assets\EnemyScripts\EnemySpawner.cs(17,44): error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'Enemy' to 'UnityEngine.GameObject'

i, of course, was referring to without the cast. but it seems that dataList.enemyType is an Enemy, not a SpawnerData

ok so just for the sake of getting answers faster, you can just skip to the getting the reference part

since thats the actual thing you don't know

#

Like appdata locals where my saves are

sour fulcrum
#

quite a few places to look at here

image.png
keen raven
#

This is my general understanding
Scriptable object = where I store the enemy stats
Enemy = What is meant to be the actual enemy object that spawns, is meant to pull data from enemy spawner
EnemySpawner = What Im trying to spawn enemies from and assign them their stats

sour fulcrum
#

you need a class that inherits from scriptableobject

slender nymph
#

fix the types in your code then provide the actual error message you are receiving if you still need help

keen raven
sour fulcrum
#

based on this message i don't think you know what inheritance is

#

this kinda stuff might be a bit too much for you to grasp for where your at c# wise, no disrespect

keen raven
#

Well I'm not going to give up when Im so close to having the game done thats for sure. I'll go take a look at what inheritance is n see if I can get any closer.

polar acorn
keen raven
#

Okay, reading up a bit on inheritance and I'm kinda seeing it. So I make Spawnerdata the parent since thats what Im trying to inherit from, so then I would instead have public class Enemy : MonoBehaviour I would have it be public class Enemy : SpawnerData? Or would I inherit spawnerdata in EnemySpawner?

keen raven
polar acorn
#

If you want it to return a SpawnerData, you need dataList.enemyType to be of type SpawnerData

keen raven
#

Enemy type is meant to be where I determine the prefab 3d model

polar acorn
#

Does the object have a SpawnerData component on it

keen raven
#

SpawnerData is a scriptable object, when I try to use public SpawnerData dataList; on the EnemySpawner nothing seems to be happening

polar acorn
keen raven
#

Maybe scriptable objects isnt the right way to approach this at all?...Im just trying to make a spawner that can assign attributes to the enemies it spawns

#

thats not how c# works

#

you need to know that in order to be doing these kinds of things

polar acorn
#

Code isn't magic. It does what you tell it.

#

If you say Enemy.enemyHealth, you're saying to get the enemyHealth variable from Enemy

#

If Enemy doesn't have a variable called enemyHealth, you can't do that

keen raven
#

So I need to give this enemy script its variables. I want to do that without having to make several different Enemy scripts all with slightly different stats. But I cant seem to attach the Scriptable Objects I made to the Enemy without having to get rid of these errors by giving them their own variables anyway.

#

I'm sorry if Im being a bother.

sour fulcrum
#

It's not that your being a bother persay it's just that it's this weird point in which we aren't really qualified to teach you the big gaps of knowledge you might be needing for this and answering your questions directly isn't getting far because you don't understand what the answers are saying

polar acorn
#

Attaching an object will not solve compile errors. You can't solve these by dragging in an object

#

You have to actually write code that makes sense

#

You have to use variables that exist. You have to give functions the types they require.

keen raven
#

And all of this makes sense. Like. I know. I know a computer can only do what you give to it. I know it wont just fill gaps for me. I feel embarrassed now saying this now but I know quite a lot of C++ and I thought maybe C# wouldn't be all that different but I was very very wrong. I definitely am very lost.

#

I just felt like I was very close and thought maybe a gentle nudge could make this work but theres clearly something very very big Im missing. I'm sorry.

polar acorn
#

It isn't. None of this is C# specific. This is all basic syntax that all languages share

sour fulcrum
#

it's kinda offtopic but if Start() was a constructor the snippet above would work in python right?

polar acorn
#

You can't pass an int to a C++ function that expects a string. You can't get a .name variable from a char

i feel like youre overcomplicating it for no reason + you have easier and better control over the speed, angle, direction, everything is easier and better

keen dew
#

If you already have a workflow for animating everything else in the game then making an exception for doors wouldn't be that great

#

Also I would argue that with proper animating tools you get much more control than with just code

hello is anybody able to help with why this script, it doesn't make the turret of the enemy tank track my player tank which i move around? it also only shoots in one direction and at an angle aimed slightly higher which I am unsure why it's doing it, although glad it is at least shooting it's not quite there

Log some of the values to see what they are.

#

A common mistake would be referencing a prefab rather than the actual target.

#

Other than that, you'd need to verify if the values are correct.

How do I use unitys documentation "better"? I was looking for some info about how to use Rigidbody and since many of you tell me to NOT use AI I did it the way everyone tells me to do: googeling stuff and using the documentation. However searching for "Rigidbody" in the unity docs gives me hundreds of results. when I search in the unity manual https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/30_search.html?q=rigidbody I get 176 results and in the unity scripting API https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/30_search.html?q=rigidbody i get 436, so even more. Under these circumstances, I would rather use AI to safe time but I do sacrifise reliaibility. Anything I can improve to not be overwhelmed by the docs?

If you want to know about rigidbody, you should click on the one that says rigidbody.

It conveniently lists every single member function and property of the class in one page (which are the other links you can see)

#

If you want to know how to use AddForce, look up AddForce

It's not really that hard. You search for something, then click on that thing

It's pretty easy if you're not being willfully obtuse to prove a point

I have come across my my most discouraging problem yet. If i grab like (50 units), and put them in a formation that has circles under each tile where a soldier should be. Not only do units like to awkwardly path in efficient vertical lines like they are waiting for a return. Worst of all it takes them too much time to get in formation, it would probably be much easier what no unit collusion but this game has 1 space = 1 space occupied 99% of the time. So they are bumping past each other and trying to find ways to get to the location they want. But i think its doing it wrong. I asked a programmer friend on how to fix this, and he wasnt sure including another programming friend. So then i resorted to AI and AI did not give me a workable solution. What am i missing. Is there some kind of math formula combination im missing. I used to have something more normal but i took a break to do a few weeks of memory management and reduce lag for large amount of units as much as possible. And i think this creeped up on me through the changes

This is a very non-trivial problem to solve. It might not even be worth trying to solve

swift crag
#

The first thing that comes to mind: how do you assign each unit to a spot in the formation?

#

if each unit wants to travel a long distance, you'll get tons of collisions

#

ideally, each unit should move as little as possible

#

(this is probably one of those intractable NP-complete problems, because everything interesting is...)

Hi guys! I'm really stuck with something. I think I'm missing something super simple, but I just can't seem to figure out what it is.

I'm currently working on customizing my inspector a bit, using VisualElements in a PropertyDrawer. Essentially, you have different QuestTypes, and depending on the QuestType I want to show different fields in the inspector.

I'm Adding the right children to the root, and it does work with the initial QuestType picked, but when I change QuestType in the inspector, no children get displayed.

Again, it should be something so simple, yet I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Anyone here have any experience with VisualElements?

so im working on an outline system for a port im making but once i walk up it an object that can be outline, it will outline that object plus all other objects that can be outline

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using System.CodeDom;


public class OnHover : MonoBehaviour {

    [SerializeField] public GameObject highlighted;
    

    // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {

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

im using unity version 2018.2.19f1

instead of it js outline the object that im near it outlines all objects that can be outlined

twin pivot
#

Why are you serializing OnTriggerEnter and OntriggerExit and what is timerDelay() supposed to be doing here

kindred blade
#

lwk the serializing was to test what it does but its useless in this case and timerdelay is adding a delay before it removes the highlight bc the highlight was starting on enabled even tho disabled

twin pivot
kindred blade
#

wym

twin pivot
#

You didnt add a delay so there is no delay

kindred blade
#

i added the delay in start

#

oh oh

twin pivot
#

The code is run on start, theres no delay

kindred blade
#

its skiping the first frame bc the outline was getting enabled before the code initalizes so i added a delay

#

it works

grand snow
#

yield return null causes a single frame delay

twin pivot
#

Ah thats what u ment nvm

twin pivot
kindred blade
#

its lwk. not

wintry quarry

e.g.

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
          Debug.Log($"Highlighting {highlighted.name} from script attached to {this.name}");
          highlighted.SetActive(true);
    }```
#

Also yes SerializeField doesn't make any sense here at all.

#

And:

    private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        Debug.Log($"Un-Highlighting {highlighted.name} from script attached to {this.name}");
        highlighted.SetActive(false);

is there a way to find a game object by name in a scene but not using GameObject.Find

that only works for items that are currently active in the scene

#

i cant use Find.GameObjectsByTag(s) since the game objects already have a tag that allow me to interact with them

#

ive been trying to figure this out because every time the player goes to a new area, this script would then lose the reference, so i need them to regain the reference when i reenter the scene

wintry quarry
#

Maybe if you explain your situation in more detail a better approach can be suggested

#

For example what do you mean by "the player goes to a new area"? And what script is this that is "losing tje reference"? Scripts don't just randomly "lose" references.

#

and the package manager for the package updates

marble hemlock
#

basically this is a game object that does not get destroyed on load, a sort of master script that tracks the player's overall progress

#

my new problem is that i dont know how to get it to keep track of the player's last position in a specific area

#

for example, lets say this is sort of a hub location and they press on statues to leave
i wanted it so that when they did eventually come back to this hub, it would immediately teleport them back to their last location, basically on the same frame they returned

my system was to have it be part of the script that was sending them to other scenes, that it would take the current transform of the player, store it, and then when we got back to the correct scene, it would use that transform's position and relocate the player

#

unfortunately, this falls apart nearly immediately, because what it does is take the current transform, stores it, and then the moment they get to a new scene it completely voids it

wintry quarry
#

You definitely don't want to store a Transform

marble hemlock
#

i did and it lost the transform

wintry quarry
#

A Transform is a component on a GameObject

marble hemlock
#

i need something else me thinks

wintry quarry
#

as soon as you unload the scene it gets destroyed

#

Store the position

#

Vector3 or Vector2

ah okay vector3 then

Anyone know how much it would cost a dev to observe a 40k code base and fix AI from having crap pathfinding. I think I am too mentally cooked. Its been ruining my sleep. Its been making me not go outside

but if you are on a version that supports the package, unity has a Multiplayer Play Mode package that allows you to do that. otherwise there are third party assets like ParrelSync

Currently trying to make a movement system with acceleration, and made this Mathf.Lerp function to gradually interpolate the moveSpeed to the maxSpeed/0 by accel/decel. It seems to be working, but the problem is that the acceleration/friction is so fast that even setting the numbers to 0.1, it pretty much accel/decels instantly and acts like there was none in the first place. How can I fix this?

image.png
#

update: setting the numbers super super low gets the accel working but the object still stops instantly. I suspect this is because "direction" goes to 0 instantly when I let go, even if the current moveSpeed isn't 0 it still stops

#

not quite sure how to fix this though

keen dew
#

Lerp is the wrong method for that. Use MoveTowards instead

crystal agate
keen dew
#

Mathf.MoveTowards, not the vector version

#

Use it to change the moveSpeed value instead of lerp

crystal agate
#

thank you! this is a better way of doing things

#

that said it still stops instantly when I let go of the button - the direction still instantly goes to 0 when I let go, which makes the velocity 0

#

is there any way to make it so the object gradually decelerates instead of stopping instantly?

#

Current code.
Deceleration works now, but I'm trying to make it so that moving the opposite direction decelerates to 0, then moves it that way, while what's currently happening is that changing directions is instant

image.png
#

would AddForce be better?

keen dew
#

If you let go of the controls, the direction will be 0, 0 so it doesn't matter what the speed value is

#

If you want to set the velocity manually you'll have to manage everything like this so in that sense using forces would be easier

crystal agate
#

I've solved that one by saving the old direction before letting go, my current issue is that I'm trying to make it so changing directions doesn't just turn instantly with the same speed

Hi, is this the right place to ask for help with some code problem I'm having?

I thought so, just wanted to make sure.

Im having an issue when my player is constantly being set to 0,0,0.

It first happened yesterday morning altering working on it Thursday afternoon time, I saved it and it was all working well, put it on diversion repo, and when I opened it yesterday it was like that, like in the video.

I did a bit of research and supposedly it could have been a problem with the file itself.

So I remade the project yesterday but when I came to it today it was the same as it was.

The quality is quite terrible but certainly some script is modifying the position of the object.

slow spire
#

These are the two scripts attached to the player character

wintry quarry
#

What other components are in your game? Do you have a camera script?

slow spire
#

Yea, I'm using cinemacine though so it's not a script. There are 4 scripts for the projectiles with them all being almost the same, I can send them over if that helps?

wintry quarry
#

Doesn't that answer the question directly about what's responsible for it?

slow spire
#

Yea, that's right

wintry quarry
#

So that's it then

slow spire
#

Yea, i got that, but my character needs rigid body to move, I'm wondering if there's a way to fix it or if i need to use something else for movement

wintry quarry
#

I'm kinda failing to see what needs to be fixed here

ivory bobcat
# ivory bobcat Something to consider

After removing the rb component, were there any errors? Show the console window. Something may be referencing the object and moving the object using the rb component.

wintry quarry
#

Why do you need to be able to drag it around by the move tool at runtime? And if you really need to, you can just make it kinematic

slow spire
slow spire
wintry quarry
ivory bobcat
#

For instance, this would have thrown a missing reference exception if you hadn't disabled it.

image.png
wintry quarry
#

Again I'm failing to understand why it matters that you can't drag the object's position in scene view at runtime

#

Also there were definitely errors, I saw them in the video you just didn't have the console open

slow spire
#

Oh, my mistake.

ivory bobcat
#

I'm under the assumption that they're illustrating that the object simply cannot be move by any means (as though something is reseting it's position) and had illustrated it through physically dragging the object in the scene view.

#

I'm only partially here so I may be wrong.

wintry quarry
#

I don't think it was shown that it can't be moved "by any means". Presumably it can be moved by the script.

slow spire
wintry quarry
#

That being said there's actually nothing in your movement script that's actually moving the object aside from the Dashing logic

#

I think you just forgot to put the main movement code in

#

The Move function only does two things right now: rotate the character, and dash

#

Oh and jumping

#

Also both left and right dash seem to be listening for q

#

A does nothing

#

Look at line 100 and 106

#

Both are doing GetKeyDown "q"

slow spire
#

Forgive me, but I dont know how to explain how it works right, but the movement does work, the line float xValue = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") is what's getting the a/d. And it was working for the movement when I left it, I have it working in other projects too.

wintry quarry
#

Right ok so then it's all working

#

And yes if you have code setting the velocity to 0 every frame, then yes the Rigidbody is going to force your object to not be able to move externally

#

And your code is indeed doing that when the input is 0

#

You basically have the universe's most powerful brakes engaged with that code

slow spire
#

Yea, which is the idea for when the player stops moving, and it was working when last played, when I can I'll try send a video how it should work.

wintry quarry
#

"how it should work" is exactly the thing that's missing from your explanation here. Because right now I can't figure out what you're actually expecting this to do that it isn't doing right now

ivory bobcat
#

You can probably quickly verify if input is producing your unexpected behavior by simply setting linear velocity to an expected value:```cs
void Movement()
{
float xValue = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

    Vector3 velocity = rb.linearVelocity;
    velocity.x = xValue * playerSpeedHorizontal;

    rb.linearVelocity = Vector3.left * playerSpeedHorizontal;//velocity;
}```

Guys, I've been trying to install unity for a friend of mine, but Visual Studio isn't suggesting the keywords.

  • Unity version is 2022.3 LTS

  • Visual Studio version is 2026 (18.5.1)

  • In the unity preferences, the External Script Editor is set as Visual Studio [18.5.11716] (only vesion installed)

  • Visual Studio has the Unity module installed (and no other)

We have:

  • Reinstalled Visual Studio
  • Reinstalled the unity module in Visual Studio
  • Read the installing guide and watched a few videos

# keen acorn Guys, I've been trying to install unity for a friend of mine, but Visual Studio ...

If you aren't getting Intellisense, you've likely missed a step in the installation process. The common mistake would be missing the Game development with Unity workload during the Visual Studio installation process. You can run the VS installer again to simply add the workload without having to uninstall/reinstall the application. Basically #3 in the installation configuration process (it isn't applied by default thus why folks often miss it - VS IDE isn't solely for development with Unity so the workload isn't selected by default).

# crystal agate any way to stop future crashes?

Unfortunately, engine crashes are version-dependent and sometimes even hardware dependent. But like someone else mentioned, it can also be your own fault sometimes if you code an infinite loop (among other things). If you have your debugger active you can always an infinite loop and force execution outside the look though lol (if thats indeed the problem).

You should look into using version control, even if its just you. A GitHub repo that you simply push to will go a long way 🙂

Does LookAt() not effect children? I've got a gun and it can rotate fine with LookAt() but the empty firing point child isn't effected by this

the firing point is a child of the gun?

So I've figured out it's not that actually, I put a sphere on the fire point and it's moving with the gun, so it looks like it's the instantiating, which doesn't make sense to me

#

Because this should work right?

It will take firing_point.rotation, whatever that is

but the shells aren't moving away from the initial position of the firing point

Either that or the object you instantiated has a script that's moving it unexpectedly

So the issue is this is the enemy, this works fine for the player

What's going wrong exactly?

#

Hang on I'll get a clip

wintry quarry
#

The place it spawns? The rotation it spawns at? Or the motion after it spawns?

ebon ice
#

The gun is rotating but the shells are still spawning from the same place even after rotating the gun

Whatever object you assigned to firing_point is not the correct one
