    public bool hasTogged;
    public ToggleRagdoll mainRoot;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        mainRoot = GetComponentInParent<ToggleRagdoll>();
    }

    public void ActivateToggleScript(bool ragdollOff)
    {
        mainRoot.ToggleRag(ragdollOff);
        hasTogged = ragdollOff;
    }

Added this script to every body part and now the bullets only have to get component once from the hit body part. The performance is now amazing!

[cinder kindle]

How do I make a menu like this show up?

when someone plays the game

[past pecan]

i think thats actually an old feature of unity

that they removed

[cinder kindle]

it still shows up on games that I play?

[past pecan]

i vaguely remember something about a command line arguement though

[past pecan]

the games you play could be built on old unity versions

[cinder kindle]

Any documents on how to make a settings menu then?

[past pecan]

https://forum.unity.com/threads/display-resolution-dialog-deprecation.793611/ as i suspected

[past pecan]

do not think so sorry, i personally have a script with references to a canvas group and components inside that group

with an apply button that reads the values from sliders and whatnot and saves it to disk / applies settings

[worthy willow]

Here I'm trying to Unsubscribe and Subscribe models from the "Flashlightchange" event depending if the "Current Model" or "Previous Model" Exists.

"flashlightchanged" is a boolean. Any help on how I can fix this?
I get error code: CS:0019

[past pecan]

essentially that bit of code inside the curly brackets is called every time the flashlight change event is called

[quartz folio]

this all makes no sense.

[leaden ice]

This is wrong

[past pecan]

oh sorry!

[leaden ice]

And will not work properly

[quartz folio]

The Flashlightchanged method is right there. It's not a boolean

[past pecan]

yes i made a mistake

[quartz folio]

If Flashlightchange is a boolean, then this logic makes no sense at all

[leaden ice]

It would need to be a delegate for this to make any sense, not a bool

[past pecan]

why are you assigning to a method with +=?

[worthy willow]

I was following a netcode tutorial and that tutorial uses Color instead of a boolean.
I dont really know what Im doing so I just followed along.

[leaden ice]

Follow along closer then! Presumably that's an event, not a boolean

Make sure you declared it properly

[past pecan]

sorry thats wrong as well

yeah theres no event thats being called

[worthy willow]

Alright

So just remove those entirely?

[leaden ice]

No?

Just... If you're copying a tutorial make sure you didn't screw up

Seems like you screwed something up

Possibly in the FlashlightSyncModel script

Or FlashlightChanged

[worthy willow]

I'm not trying to 1:1 copy the tutorial
the tutorial syncs Changing color through the network
while I want to change a boolean from true to false to enable a gameobject.

[quartz folio]

actually posting the error might help instead of the error code

which nobody can interpret

[leaden ice]

If you're not 1:1 copying it's going to be difficult if you don't understand the concepts behind the code. Have you worked with delegates/events before?

[worthy willow]

I've worked with events a few times

[leaden ice]

Yeah the tutorial was dealing with event subscriptions here and you still have that syntax

If you just want to change a bool, just change the bool

You know, with the = operator

You can't add a function to a bool

[worthy willow]

Yeah that makes more sense

Im going to run the game and see if the Server can see what the client does

Ill be back

[surreal phoenix]

what types are allowed for the object type argument in editorguilayout.objectfield()? it seems way harder than it should be to find it in the docs.

[quartz folio]

UnityEngine.Object types.

Hence why the object it accepts is of that type

[potent sorrel]

So, I'm trying to reduce my player helath using Lerp everytime it takes damage from the enemy. But the health is just snapping everytime the player takes damage. Any solution?

https://paste.ofcode.org/37L9LSd3Fbgu3cSgqQrdzid

[clever laurel]

Can someone help enlighten me on why using composition through unity components, rather than in code (strategy pattern) is beneficial? Other than the obvious hassle of cross references between components, it also seems easier to ensure that all the correct "components" are present in an object through code, than through components? I have been looking for articles on it, but i havn't been able to find anything

[upbeat dust]

Heyy, could someone please explain this error to me. Why property is deprecated?

[quartz folio]

Because it's not in use, deprecated means it's been replaced

Use what it says it's been replaced with

You can see an example here https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/ParticleSystem.MainModule-startColor.html

[upbeat dust]

sorry, one last question. I understand the example, tysm, but this one line var main = ps.main; what does .main do?

[earnest gazelle]

WTH, what does it mean? ;/
Symbol bug in editor?

[hasty forum]

What is ps

[quartz folio]

Gets the main module from the particle system variable

[upbeat dust]

oh, so unlike box collider or audio source, particle system has many component branches, and .main accesses all of them?

[quartz folio]

It has modules that contain the parameters, yeah

[upbeat dust]

OK ty so so much

[swift falcon]

What are these things called again?

[mellow sigil]

using directives

[surreal phoenix]

what am i doing wrong here?

[mellow sigil]

Don't include the file extension in the path

[thin aurora]

You specifically left out the line number in the picture

NullReferenceException means "You try to invoke a method on a reference that is null"

Guess what the method is

[surreal phoenix]

i didn't notice. it's the line with kernel = shader.FindKernel

[thin aurora]

Correct, shader is null 🙃

[surreal phoenix]

how do i make it not null?

[mellow sigil]

#archived-code-general message

[surreal phoenix]

ok. i'll try that.

[thin aurora]

You google Resources.Load.
You find: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Resources.Load.html
It quotes "This method returns the asset at path if it can be found, otherwise it returns null."
It also quotes "Note that the path is case insensitive and must not contain a file extension."

Debugging is a good skill to have

Solution: "must not contain a file extension"

Or it doesn't exist in general of course

I have a tilemap and I'm wondering if there is a way to fit it in the whole cinemamachine screen?
I have 16:9 res selected, but when I walk to a direction it stills scrolls a little bit

[uncut vine]

Hello, friends.
I'm assigning a scriptableobject on Awake and then calling it every Update:

void Awake()
 {            
      this.object = ScriptableObject.Instantiate(this.soType1);            
 }

 void Update()
 {            
      this.object.Tick(this);
 }```

Then on a trigger collision, I change the reference of `this.object` to another scriptable object that I instantiate:
```cs
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider collider)
{
     this.object = ScriptableObject.Instantiate(this.soType2);
}```

Weirdly enough, both `Tick()` methods are being called on `Update` as if `this.object` is keeping the reference for the two instances. Anyone knows what can be happening?

[timber cloak]

I need some brainstorming to solve a problem, In this senario I am generating a building, What you are looking at are the second floor. It does have the bouneris of the first floor. In this senarion i can chop of most of the green parts that reperessetns corridors to make it look a bit better and that there are not ofen you see a corridor that is so big. How whould I do it, It is based on a 2d array

I seem to be having an issue using IPointerClickHandler.

My UI element that contains the script that is using IPointerClickHandler is set active and moved roughly to where the mouse cursor is.
If I then left-click on this UI element (without moving the mouse at all), OnPointerClick will not fire.
Only when my mouse has moved at all before clicking will OnPointerClick fire.

Any thoughts?

[plucky parrot]

sorry i just saw your response on this, what I mean by better is if it is less resource intensive, but I also want to know if this is actually how it is mostly done or if this is a weird thing to do inheritance instead of multiple scripts in the same gameobject

Pls help

[plucky parrot]

nice code

[swift falcon]

So I have this while loop

[plucky parrot]

please do code blocks

[swift falcon]

Ok sorry

[plucky parrot]

like this
```cs
(your code here)```

[plucky parrot]

you can just copy paste the thing i sent and copy paste your code in lol

ok thats also legit

[swift falcon]

Yea

Ok so

If you look at like line 290

around there

[plucky parrot]

thats a lot of bad practices lol

@YandereDev

[swift falcon]

I am new to this

[plucky parrot]

ok

[swift falcon]

Are u talking about the repetition?

[plucky parrot]

instead of using multiple functions for each food or whatever that is

[plucky parrot]

yes

you can just make one function

and pass it the argument

let me just give you an example

instead of this

void PlaceThing() {
  Instantiate(thing);
}
void PlaceSomethingElse() {
  Instantiate(somethingElse);
}```
you can do this
```cs
void Place(Thing theThing) {
  Instantiate(theThing);
}```

just make a class for all the foods

[swift falcon]

Wait but I want it to to be functions for different buttons

[plucky parrot]

just add the links with code

loop through the buttons

then link the Place function

to the onClick

and for each button you can just pass the function parameter depending on the button

if you have like a lot of buttons in sort like a list

you can also just add the buttons through code instead of adding them manually

[swift falcon]

Ohh

I will try it

[vague tundra]

Alg, fair enough.
Unfortunately I don't have enough experience to give a proper answer

[swift falcon]

but the problem I wanted to ask about is that

I have some while loops at like around line 290

and when I run the game

the game freezes

because of them

What can I do to fix that?

[plucky parrot]

ooh wait i think this happened to me

i had a similar problem

but it may just work!!

i just remembered lol sorry

i believe you can reset the component of the element

just set enabled to false and then true

i think i did that and it worked

my problem wasn't that it wasn't clickable but instead it was not detecting the mouse hover

but my problem was because i had the timescale set to 0

[vague tundra]

Very interesting, thanks! I shall give it a try

[plucky parrot]

and for some reason something about the collider of the element didnt work

but this was because i was using a boxcollider for the element

this was because it was on a 3d canvas in world space

so it could not use the mouse for it so i had to make my own raycasting in 3d to be able to click the button in 3d space

and what i did was disable and enable the collider again

and for some reason that worked so i kept doing that when setting the timescale to 0

so a solution like that may work for your case

[plucky parrot]

yes thats also bad

you can't have a while loop like that

let me just check your code

i cant even understand what your code does

honestly i would just rewrite all that

[swift falcon]

😭 it's that shit. lmao

[plucky parrot]

so i will briefly point out the things i would do

starting from the top, thats a lot of GameObject fields

[swift falcon]

ok thx

[plucky parrot]

i would instead make a list

after that you have like 30 vector3 fields

thats also a lot of fields

instead of copypasting 234958023450892590 times

you can just make a list

thats what lists are for

after that, you also have some patterns here

[swift falcon]

I tried but my limited knowledge didn't come in handy

[plucky parrot]

you should make a class for that and put the values there instead and just reference the class

after that, you have the 389457345 methods which do the exact same thing

[vague tundra]

expand your cranium. it's probably worth it

[plucky parrot]

you can just make one method, and pass the argument to it

[vague tundra]

If your game freezes, it's almost definitely related to the while loops

[plucky parrot]

and after that you have the infinite while loop

which is not good

i dont think you need a while loop for that

[swift falcon]

How can i replace it

[plucky parrot]

delete it

[swift falcon]

What can I replace it with

[plucky parrot]

nothing

or an if statement

i would just delete it and write it again

im talking about the while loops

not the whole thing

[swift falcon]

I have a day to submit my game

[plucky parrot]

what

[vague tundra]

oh

[autumn cipher]

ohhh boy

[swift falcon]

I learnt unity from scratch in the past 6 days

[plucky parrot]

and you lost all that time copypasting??

[plucky parrot]

thats cool

but you should have learnt C# first

[swift falcon]

no no. This is not my entire code

I have other stuff too lmao

[plucky parrot]

no i know but

[swift falcon]

I made 50 3d models for the game

[full furnace]

hey ist there a help cahnnel for problems with unity?

[plucky parrot]

woah

[plucky parrot]

what type of problems

code problems?

or just unity problems

[full furnace]

No no Code problems, unity problems

[plucky parrot]

what problem do you have?

i dont think theres a channel for that

[full furnace]

oh okay

[plucky parrot]

maybe #💻┃unity-talk but i dunno

[swift falcon]

I just took a small unity course. Quickly finished it and got to coding

[full furnace]

so it doesent matter if i ask in this channel here?

[plucky parrot]

cool

[swift falcon]

I have been working on unity 12-16hrs a day for the past week

lmao

[plucky parrot]

just tell us what your problem is

or me

[plucky parrot]

nice

me too actually

its too fun

[full furnace]

okay, i want to open my Movementscript in unity but it is not opening, i am new at unity

[plucky parrot]

ok

have you set the

i forgot how its called

go to file - preferences

[full furnace]

i thought visusal studius gonna be installed if i install unity

[plucky parrot]

external tools

is this set

[plucky parrot]

yes it does i think by default

but you need to check if it is set in the external tools thing

[swift falcon]

I will finish the game rn. I will try to get an extension for my submission and shorten the code l8r

[plucky parrot]

good luck

[full furnace]

where can i find this?

[swift falcon]

thx

[plucky parrot]

.

[swift falcon]

trueee

[plucky parrot]

yes like that

file, preferences, external tools

on the top left menu

there's file

[full furnace]

in file is no preferences

[plucky parrot]

wait what

[autumn cipher]

Preferences*

[full furnace]

there ist just new project ...

[plucky parrot]

its preferences for me

noo sorry

its on edit

😭

[full furnace]

here we go

[plucky parrot]

edit, preferences

there we go

[autumn cipher]

I always confuse Project Settings with Preferences

[plucky parrot]

what do you have the external script edit tool set to?

[full furnace]

okay ia m on preferences

[plucky parrot]

go to external tools

on the left

and the first thing on the right

[full furnace]

okay

i am

[plucky parrot]

ok

you are

[full furnace]

haha and now? xD

[plucky parrot]

i just told you

[plucky parrot]

.

[full furnace]

External script editor?

[plucky parrot]

yes

did you read what i just typed lol

[full furnace]

open by file ...?

[plucky parrot]

i literally asked you 😭

[plucky parrot]

no

send screenshot

visual studio should appear there

in the list

[full furnace]

give me a second

[plucky parrot]

ok

[swift falcon]

So I found this way on the internet to do it. Do I just put a comma after the first vector and the 23 other vectors I have?

[plucky parrot]

yes

but please leave a line break after the comma(s)

[swift falcon]

Oh so that they all come in different lines?

[autumn cipher]

wait hold on, how can you Remove() a new Vector3 from the list?

[swift falcon]

openai is a bit crack ig

[vague tundra]

I guess it will match if theres already one in there haha

[autumn cipher]

I'll try it now, curious

[vague tundra]

Of course

Remove will remove the first instance of whatever you give it

Right?

[full furnace]

okay screenshot is not working

there is just one file

vs_community_ac58de352fa04

[plucky parrot]

ooh right because vector3 is not a primitive you cant have the list automatically remove the duplicates right?

[vague tundra]

XD

[plucky parrot]

oh wait thats not the point

nevermind

thats not what you would use the list for tho

or how you would use it*

[vague tundra]

My XD wasnt in response to u Bruno, sorry the timing was unfortunate haha

[full furnace]

BrunoRM

[plucky parrot]

yes i know

[clever mulch]

My bad it remove the first instance matching it seems :p so new vector3 should work I think.

[plucky parrot]

yes thats my nickname

do you like it?

[full furnace]

i love it

[plucky parrot]

lets go

i was thinking of changing it

[full furnace]

so there is just vs_community_ac58de352fa04

[full furnace]

NO!

[plucky parrot]

well that should be it

[plucky parrot]

ok thanks for the feedback i appreciate it a lot

[full furnace]

but its already choosen

[plucky parrot]

then you should be able to

try opening a script

[full furnace]

okay

[plucky parrot]

or create a new C# script and double click it

[autumn cipher]

Profiler is so confusing

[plucky parrot]

yes

indeed

i never understood how to use it correctly

its just unity stuff

[autumn cipher]

I just wanna check my script performance

someway

[plucky parrot]

i want to debug my scripts but instead all i see is unity thing

[plucky parrot]

YES RIGHT

[autumn cipher]

trying new ways etc

[plucky parrot]

OMG

[full furnace]

Noo : ( its still not working ....

[plucky parrot]

noooooooo

ok try this

open the visual installer

or whatever is called

check if your visual studio installation appears there

if you dont have the installer just search it and download it and open it

XDDDDDDDDD

LMAOOOOOO

[plucky parrot]

why did you delete it!! its so fun!!

its not the correct channel tho

😎

might get banned

[autumn cipher]

grammar mistake

[plucky parrot]

was something wrongly written!?!?

i didnt notice lol

[full furnace]

i deleted it because i thought it worked not because i have the wrong version. but ill donwonload it now again

[plucky parrot]

lol

you thought it worked not

i see

[full furnace]

what?

[plucky parrot]

its "did not work" instead of "worked not"

[full furnace]

I am fuckin german we dont have teachers

[plucky parrot]

yes i know

[full furnace]

so dont judge me

[plucky parrot]

just pointing that out

[plucky parrot]

im not

im just teaching you

😎

[full furnace]

oh you re so kind < 3

[plucky parrot]

thanks!!!

[full furnace]

soo now its installed

[plucky parrot]

niceee

can you open scripts now?

[full furnace]

second

no i have a new file at the extrenal script aditor

Microsoft Visual studios 2022

i guess thats a good sign

but cant open it either

and unity is frozen like ice

[plucky parrot]

mmmmmmm

thats weird

[full furnace]

it is

TIME for the Taskmanger

okay everytime i open a script unity freeeeeze

[plucky parrot]

mmmmmmmmmm

thats weird

[plucky parrot]

try opening the whole solution in visual studio

[full furnace]

uhm how? hehe

[earnest gazelle]

what is execution order for them? Init (Inject), OnEnable, Awake,Start?
In editor, I see first, call Init, then OnEnable but I think I saw OnEnable is executed first then Init in runtime. Is it random?
For start, it is OK and always runs after

[dense skiff]

When I get close to a collision enabled object, this thing happens https://gyazo.com/352b4479c441a308665640d2d317e0ae, this is my code: https://paste.mod.gg/tbxcavfkzozb/0, anyone got a clue why this is happening and how to fix it? (attached pics of the collision boxes)

[plucky parrot]

awake is first, and start is last

i dunno the rest

[swift falcon]

How can I wait for a function to end before continuing one

[plucky parrot]

you can use Invoke

or a coroutine

[swift falcon]

ok thx I will check them out

[pine spire]

@earnest gazelle https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

[earnest gazelle]

zenject

[full furnace]

yeah it worked i am in the script

thanks @plucky parrot love u

[plucky parrot]

ok

[earnest gazelle]

OK, because zenject procedure runs in Awake (SceneContext), so calling Init methods before or after OnEnable is not certain

[pine spire]

@earnest gazelle ah, surprising if they don't have it documented

[earnest gazelle]

I did not find it

 public void Awake()
        {
#if ZEN_INTERNAL_PROFILING
            ProfileTimers.ResetAll();
            using (ProfileTimers.CreateTimedBlock("Other"))
#endif
            {
                Initialize();
            }
        }

SceneContext

[pine spire]

if OnEnable is Unity one and not Zenject specific then it should be executed after Awake, so unless Zenject has some lazy init going on which might be executed outside Awake then it should be safe

I sometimes wish Unity had multiple Awakes, would make things easier for handling dependencies of pooled objects

[earnest gazelle]

OnEnable runs after Awake inside that mono

Awake1,OnEnable1,, Awake2,OnEnable2...

So Awake SceneContext can run before or after OnEnable some monos

Awake1,OnEnable1, Awake2, OnEnable2, Awake (SceneContext), Awake3, OnEnable3...

[pine spire]

Ok, I haven't used Zenject, so I'm not really sure what exactly is the problem here or what you are aiming for. SceneContext Awake running before OnEnable of anything else?

[earnest gazelle]

If you don't know the execution order, you can easily get null reference error

[pine spire]

can't you just solve this by forcing SceneContext to run first?

Unless you need things to run between Awake and OnEnable of specific objects this should be solvable with Script Execution Order

[earnest gazelle]

Before, my code added listeners and removed them in Start, OnDestroy. It was completely OK
Now, I saw null reference errors after 3 month in the recent build because my teammate has changed it to OnEnable,OnDisable.

in Init zenject it assigns an instance, then add/remove listeners in OnEnable,OnDisbale

[Inject]
private void Init(TypeA instance){
  _instance = instance;
}
private void OnEnable(){
   _instance.AddListener(...);
}
private void OnDisable(){
   _instance.RemoveListener(...);
}

When you don't know and change codes you have not written 😭 and also do not know about zenject. It causes a sh.. bug exists in release

[earnest gazelle]

Probably yes, force execution order in setting but it is another scenario and I do not like it.

For each scnee, add scene context to that list,..

[pine spire]

yeah hmm, SceneContext is something that executes init? if it has references to everything already then just forcing it to execute first

well, I'd say whatever kind of dependency management system you are using you'll likely need to manipulate execution order list

execution order is project specific, not scene specific

[earnest gazelle]

yes,

[pine spire]

if we are talking about unity's build in Script Execution Order settings

[earnest gazelle]

yes, I mean if I decide to add them manually, I should add all scene contexts for all scenes and care if a new scene has been added, again add its scene context to the list

Generally, I try to choose another solution if I can like start/onDestroy instead of OnEnable/OnDisable when using Injection as well

@pine spire thanks

[unkempt sail]

I'm having some trouble with Vector3.Reflect

instead of reflecting on the normal its reflecting perpendicular at it

nvm I was passing the hitting point not its direction

[rain crater]

Upon further investigation, when trying this the other way, like tr2.position = tr1.position, it consistently works all the time (or at least, I didn't get it to fail). I didn't find any other reference to that gameobject in the game, and the Interpolation script was disabled/deleted, yet it still doesn't want to set position. What can be wrong here?

[leaden ice]

Does tr1 have a CharacterController on it

Or Animator?

[rain crater]

no, aside from mesh stuff, rigidbody and trail renderer, it only has a script for changing trail color, interpolation script (which can be deleted for no effect) and NetworkObject component

[leaden ice]

I mean, there's basically two possibilities here:

• you're confused about which object you're moving or where you are moving it.
• some other component or other code in that Same script is moving it back to where it was

How are you referencing tr1?

Is it actually an object in the scene?

Or is it maybe a prefab or something

[rain crater]

Well, is there a way to check which script is affecting the position? Maybe there's something I'm not aware of, because it's definitely not the Interpolation script

[leaden ice]

Could easily be the network script

Disable that

[rain crater]

tr1 and tr2 are both set in the inspector, they are objects

[leaden ice]

From where though

What exactly did you drag in

[rain crater]

the objects in hierarchy to respective slots

i'll just add, that it sometimes does work

[leaden ice]

Again setting transform.position works. So something else is affecting it then

NetworkObject seems really likely to be part of the problem

Anyway I gtg start work

[rain crater]

just checked the NetworkObject script, it doesn't modify transform.position anywhere. And then, it doesn't explain why it sometimes does actually work, and why other objects, which also have NetworkObject component can teleport without any issue.

[dense cloud]

Just wanna clarify my understanding on this method

a ray is an invisible line from a specific point of origin towards a specific direction

[quaint rock]

yes it has a origin point and a directional vector

[dense cloud]

screenpoint is a point that is halfed the screen's width & length?

so the screen point for this screen size is (512, 384)

[quaint rock]

no screen point is not halfed

its just the pixel coord on the screen

bottom left is (0, 0) top right is (Screen.width - 1, Screen.height - 1)

[dense cloud]

screenpoint can represent any point on the screen?

[quaint rock]

yes

also mouse position is in screenspace

so can be directly used as a screen point

[dense cloud]

ooo didn't know that, thanks for the heads up

last thing

[quaint rock]

ViewportPoint version is also useful

same idea but buttom left is (0f, 0f) and top right is (1f, 1f)

[dense cloud]

so this method of ScreenPointToRay(); would cast a point from the screen towards specific direction? Kinda like shooting?

[normal arch]

can anyone tell me why this saving code doesn't work, i've debugged everything and it just seems like some things just aren't happening when they're supposed to be

https://paste.myst.rs/tqzkshpa

[quaint rock]

yep, give it a point on the screen, and it return a ray facing down the cameras direction from that point

[potent sleet]

define "doesn't work"

[dense cloud]

I heard of this, I'll give it a read later thanks

[quaint rock]

you can use it in a raycast directly if you wanted to ray cast from the screen to click on a object

[rain crater]

I've made a dummy gameobject, and tried setting its position - it works, and despite 10 tries i didn't get it to fail, so i assume it's consistent. But when I set the reference back to the original gameobject, it doesn't work. I've tried copying it (to effectively make a new gameobject), still doesn't work.

[dense cloud]

gotcha, thanks for the quick & the detailed breakdown

[potent sleet]

also you should not use BinaryFormatter @normal arch

BinaryFormatter is insecure and can't be made secure. For more information, see the BinaryFormatter security guide.

The BinaryFormatter type is dangerous and is not recommended for data processing. Applications should stop using BinaryFormatter as soon as possible, even if they believe the data they're processing to be trustworthy. BinaryFormatter is insecure and can't be made secure.

[quaint rock]

yes heavily recommend not using the binary formatter

use something like json for quick and dirty stuff, or design your own binary format if you really want to use binary

[short ridge]

👋 Quick question, in the unity docs it says I can use IgnoreLayerCollision to turn off collisions between two layers, how do I turn them back on after?

[potent sleet]

just do it again and set it to false..

@short ridge

[short ridge]

That's for 2 colliders, not for layers no?

[quaint rock]

the layer one has the same bool arg

[potent sleet]

they work the samme

[quaint rock]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.IgnoreLayerCollision.html

its in the docs

[short ridge]

ah it does

cheers lol

[quaint rock]

its just a optional arg, if you do not provide a 3rd arg it assumes its true

public static void IgnoreLayerCollision(int layer1, int layer2, bool ignore = true);

[runic dock]

🖖 hi people, you know that feature on mobile devices where to have a element in a list an you can delete that by swiping to the left or right? thats what im currently replicating and its working fine but one problem occured. im using the IDragHandler - On Drag method for it but when i start dragging im not able to scroll inside a content size fitter scroll view which is not the typical mobile behaviour for apps. maybe someone has a clue?

[normal arch]

it doesn't clear the inventory nor add the items saved

[swift falcon]

what is the function to make all players leave room and lobby in photon?

[rain crater]

Is it possible that turning on rigidbody interpolation for a gameobject causes problems with setting position? Did some testing, and I think this might be the issue

[quaint rock]

cant test right now, but when done in your OnDrag try calling Reset on the event data

also why are you trying to mimic phone style UI in unity. unless you need features of the game engine like 3d rendering or physics i would opt for a different tool

[runic dock]

@quaint rock hey thanks for replying. i tried eventdata.reset() but didnt change anything

[quaint rock]

hmm if that did not work, think best you could do is in your drag event, manipulate the outer scroll rect as well as doing your other logic

scroll rects also implement the various interfaces for drag events

[static matrix]

 for(int i = 12; i > 0; i--)
        {
            var r = Physics2D.Raycast(transform.position, new Vector2(i*5, i * 5),100,SightObjects);
        }

This should give me a rough cone of raycasts right?

[runic dock]

@quaint rock okay.. hm im thinking how i could use that in my case

[quaint rock]

not sure without trying, but could use gizmos to make it easier to see what is going on
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Gizmos.DrawLine.html

[quaint rock]

which handlers are you implementing ?

just OnDrag, or also OnBeginDrag and OnEndDrag?

[runic dock]

im using IBeginDragHandler, IEndDragHandler,IDragHandler and im just implementing idraghandler because otherwise begin and end would be triggering. in begin i set dragging bool true and in end i set it to false rest is in update

[quaint rock]

yeah so a scroll rect has the methods from all 3 of those, so assuming you can at the end of your handlers just call the same methods on the scroll rect you want to scroll

[runic dock]

would not*

[indigo tulip]

Hey, I have a problem with one of my codes. I want to do a specific animation at a combination between my mouse and some Keys. Somehow the animation works at OnMouseOver at top(w) but not at top(s). Like I get this error when I try to change the speed at top(s):

Animator.speed can only be negative when Animator recorder is enabled. Animator.recorderMode != AnimatorRecorderMode.Offline
UnityEngine.StackTraceUtility:ExtractStackTrace ()
mouseTop:OnMouseOver () (at Assets/scrips/mouseTop.cs:50)
UnityEngine.SendMouseEvents:DoSendMouseEvents (int)

(ps: it should be enabled)

And also If somebody has an Idea, how to stop the animation, let me know. I tried something at the end of the Code which didn't work out.

The Code:
https://hatebin.com/tyegcgqioq
I uploaded it like its said in -read-me.

[normal arch]

could you suggest an alternative and how to use it

[potent ibex]

Bump. Anyone at all that has an idea? :)

[potent sleet]

use JSON like suggested, you can do BinaryWriter

[vestal oar]

Hopefully this is an easy question. But I have a dropdown that works in the inspector, but when I build the game, it's completely blank. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the dropdown is to change resolution in the game

[potent sleet]

show code

[knotty sun]

why would something in an inspector be in a built game?

even more so, how?

[vestal oar]

Let me know if I need to clean it up, it's a bit wild lol
https://gdl.space/hojiqiwifa.cs

[vestal oar]

Sorry, I'm stupid lol. I meant to say when I hit play in Unity and play it there. Not the inspector

[knotty sun]

best guess your anchors are wrong for your TMP_Dropdown

[potent sleet]

I would start by seeing if the list is truly empty. use OnGui and debug some values on the built

[knotty sun]

Also you might want to look at the documentation for the switch statement

[potent sleet]

you can also Debug.Log and look in the logfile in the build make sure ur getting what ur expected

[polar marten]

you can build the game with the Development box checked, and see the exception it throws

that is most likely what is happening.

this script is really complex for what it does

unity has a built in graphics settings popup you can turn on for the start of the game

are you sure you don't want to use that for now?

[vestal oar]

For some reason I didn't know this existed lol. Checking this now

[runic dock]

@quaint rock got it working with ipointer handlers enter exit and click ! 🙂

[vestal oar]

Thanks so much! That did it.
Looks like this line resolutionDropdown.value = shortResolutionList[i]; was messing it up since I was calling the output from a list, I just changed it to resolutionDropdown.value = i; and that resolved it 😭

[potent sorrel]

How do I use Lerp for doing continuous damage?
https://paste.ofcode.org/FWiiMjviPRQXEs7Mg6Rgfv
This code works fine for single damages, but when doing continous damage, this happens:

[harsh linden]

is there a way or an alternative to the sprite mask for unity 5.6 ?

[plucky parrot]

whats continuous damage

[proper oyster]

i would use Mathf.MoveTowards in update to reduce the display health when the display health value is not the current health value

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.MoveTowards.html

you could set the per second delta / move speed based on the distance between current and the target

[twilit hamlet]

Im coming from Gamemaker 2 to Unity and don't understand how to link parameters and functions to a prefab itself. I know Java/C# so I have created a class but I don't understand how to link the class to the actual prefab. With Gamemaker I would have done a with(instantiate()){ whatever i needed to set}But from what i see, its like its not possible to have a unity gameobject carry these parameters.

Tldr; I want to instantiate a object with parameters and don't know how.

[leaden ice]

public MyScript thePrefab; // drag and drop the prefab here in the inspector

void SpawnAThing() {
  MyScript newInstance = Instantiate(thePrefab);
  newInstance.Whatever = whatever;
}```

^ this is assuming your prefab has a script attached to it called MyScript

with variables you want to set or methods you want to call

[twilit hamlet]

but what is the .Whatever? If i had something create a prefab. How does the prefab have a parameter in the first place

[leaden ice]

It's a field on the script

for example:

public class MyScript : MonoBehaviour {
  public int Health;
}```

then you can do newInstance.Health = 5; for example

[twilit hamlet]

but how is that class script linked to the prefab?

[leaden ice]

it is attached to it

prefabs are just GameObjects

you attach scripts to GameObjects

[twilit hamlet]

So just attaching a class script to a game object will let you set the parameters when instantiated?

[leaden ice]

weird way of wording it but, if you use the technique I showed above, yes

"when instantiated" is kinda irrelevant here, you can interact with the script at any time

in this case we happen to be doing it right after instantiation

[twilit hamlet]

but each prefab will have its own parameters right?

[leaden ice]

The prefab doesn't have parameters

It has scripts attached to it

the scripts can have fields and functions on them

and you can interact with those functions and fields

functions can have parameters

[twilit hamlet]

So im changing the script attached to the prefab on creation?

[leaden ice]

Yes

actually right after creation

[twilit hamlet]

and each prefab will have its own copy of that class script with its own parameters?

[leaden ice]

yes

though again they're fields and functions, not parameters

also when you say "each prefab" it's important to distinguish what you mean

a prefab is the premade object that sits in the project folder

[twilit hamlet]

right

[leaden ice]

when you Instantiate a prefab you create an instance of the prefab

which is a totally new copy object that is now in the scene

you can interact with that particular instance, which is what my code above is doing

[twilit hamlet]

gotcha, yah thats what i meant

[leaden ice]

I just like to be precise with language because I don't want to cause any confusion

[twilit hamlet]

Ok thank you so much! Different work flow than Gamemaker but I guess that makes sense. Im used to the instance itself having a predefined script that embodies everything that object is

[leaden ice]

Yeah Unity uses a component model

the GameObject itself is basically just an empty shell

all the data etc is on Components attached to the GameObject

[twilit hamlet]

I do like that though, very minimalistic

[leaden ice]

I know Unreal also uses the model where you override Actor to create specific types of actors, Unity is a bit different than other engines I guess

Never used GameMaker myself

[twilit hamlet]

honestly I loved Gamemaker, Its super stable and just makes so much sense when you get the basics. Its very easy to master, but I switched to unity because I got sick of writing my own packet definition scripts and writing my own server libraries for multiplayer games

[potent sleet]

what feature of GameMaker in Unity you wanna know, I used to use Game Maker till version 8

[twilit hamlet]

also, it sounds dumb, but with Gamemaker, mobile apps have a small black bar at the camera line that you just can't get rid of, so I am using unity for this mobile app project

[twilit hamlet]

PraetorBlue was helping understand how the C# classes actually link to the unity prefab

[leaden ice]

It may sound kinda bland but I think it would actually help to read the GameObjects section of the Unity manual. It may help clear up some confusion too:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GameObjects.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Components.html

Not a long read

[twilit hamlet]

Thanks but I have already read those and really do understand GameObjects, Iv created about 3 projects in Unity before this but just have never needed to have a C# class for data organization be embodied by a prefab. I definitely prefer Unity's component system over Unreal Engine's actors. Gamemaker was just 1 step more simplistic in that it was just a object with a script and thats where you did everything.

[arctic lintel]

is there a way to hide gameobject for only certain camera but not others?

[calm osprey]

So I have the oppurtunity to upgrade my unity machine with a 7900xtx, or like 200+ cpu cores on a quad socket xeon. What would benefit production more a highe end gpu or more cpus. I already have a 6800xt.

[somber nacelle]

you can exclude specific layers from being rendered by a camera, so you would put that object onto a layer that only the specific camera you want sees

[cold parrot]

neither would make any difference

[arctic lintel]

ok I'll try this ^^

[arctic lintel]

it worked tysm ^^

[frosty venture]

void Update()
    {
        float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector2 movementDirection = new Vector2(moveHorizontal* speed, moveVertical* speed);
        movementDirection.Normalize();

        if(movementDirection != Vector2.zero)
        {
            Quaternion toRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.left, movementDirection); 
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, toRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
        else if(movementDirection != Vector2.zero)
        {
            Quaternion toRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.right, movementDirection);
            transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, toRotation, rotationSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        }
        
    }

how can I rotate my character in the left and in the right on the y axis

bc idk why when I press A it goes only like 90 degrees

[arctic lintel]

try using Quaternion.Rotate

[frosty venture]

ok

or should I try Quaternion.Euler?

[leaden ice]

Stop crosspostibg

[arctic lintel]

yeah maybe try both

[worldly stream]

is there an appropriate place to discuss theory over Chat GBT within this discord. I know you guys know your stuff and I'm looking to pick someone's brain.

[leaden ice]

And you don't want y axis rotation in a 2d game

[pearl radish]

As you've been told, no

[leaden ice]

#497872469911404564

[worldly stream]

I was told that channel

[frosty venture]

then what do I want?

[worldly stream]

thank you

[leaden ice]

To continue your discussion in #💻┃code-beginner

[frosty venture]

ok

[twilit hamlet]

Guess i don't understand...

[leaden ice]

You defined your prefab as GameObject

As per my example you should declare it as Bubble

[twilit hamlet]

Isn't Bubble a child of GameObject though?

[leaden ice]

No

It's a component attached to the GameObject

[twilit hamlet]

OOoh

right, thank you again

Thats going to trip me up a few times

[leaden ice]

Note that you'll need to re drag the prefab into the slot when you change the type

Or you'll get an error at runtime

[peak jacinth]

Is AssetDatabase for editor use only? Is any of it useful in a build?

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

hmm i guess no because it's in the UnityEditor namespace

[sonic harness]

I dont know if its bad or good.

[leaden ice]

Editor only yes

Look into Resources.Load or Addressables

[potent sorrel]

yo, this worked thanks

[abstract cradle]

Hello. I have a slightly complicated question. I have looked online for a while but I can't find anything about it.

In essence, I want to find how AnimCurve.EaseInOut is calculated. This is all I could find in the documentation: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AnimationCurve.EaseInOut.html but it doesn't specify how it's calculated. I know its some type of nonlinear interpolation, but to what degree?

[ionic adder]

Check out the column on this page for "easeInOut". https://easings.net/ It will be one of those. My guess would be the sine, but use your best judgement.

[abstract cradle]

I plotted the curve here

Just not sure what the control points are

[leaden solstice]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/a935c76939be457b82c70f54fe2cc7dd40fb9090/Runtime/Export/Animation/AnimationCurve.bindings.cs#L240
It's just curve with 0,0 tangent

[abstract cradle]

woah how'd you find that

[rigid sleet]

yo, anybody knows why

SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView.camera.transform.position

might be returning null inside the unity editor?

I am just trying to get the view camera position

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.Rendering;

[RequireComponent(typeof(LensFlareComponentSRP))]
[ExecuteAlways]
public class LensFlareConstantScale : MonoBehaviour
{
    LensFlareComponentSRP flare;
    public float size = 1;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (flare == null) flare = GetComponent<LensFlareComponentSRP>();

        var cameraPos = Camera.main.transform.position;
        #if UNITY_EDITOR
        cameraPos = UnityEditor.SceneView.currentDrawingSceneView.camera.transform.position;
        #endif
        float newScale = Vector3.Distance(transform.position, cameraPos);
        flare.scale = newScale*size;
        Debug.Log(newScale);
    }
}

[leaden ice]

I think that's only not null at very specific times

[rigid sleet]

sad

[leaden ice]

like during the render pass for scene view

You need to use... one sec

[rigid sleet]

I found no resources online for getting the camera position, if you could throw me a bone it would help lol

[leaden ice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/SceneView-lastActiveSceneView.html this maybe?

[rigid sleet]

testing

that did it

thanks

I am mindboggled that googling for "editor camera position unity" gimes me 3 pages of results

I think this is a very sensible question LOL

[leaden ice]

My google search was unity get scene camera position

seemed to get reasonable results

[viscid kite]

question if i have a class that has using System; is the class still serializable?

[leaden ice]

using directives have no bearing on the code itself

They just let you use short names for classes

It lets you write Serializable instead of the full name System.Serializable that's all

[viscid kite]

Got it

[leaden solstice]

I just google something like "unity animationcurve cs" and check their reference source out

[leaden ice]

unitycsreference is what I Google instinctively to find their GitHub repo

[leaden solstice]

TIL if I press t in github repo I can search by filename

[leaden ice]

Yep!

[languid pendant]

Sorry for the late response, to get this to work, just add an empty GameObject with this script attached, and then put a PhysicsBody tag on all the GameObjects you want to be in the prediction simulation! Note I'm using PhysicsEngineUpdate() as I'm using my own physics so to call an update from my physics engine I use this function!

[orchid bane]

I forgot about you already tbh

[orchid bane]

Does PhysicsEngineUpdate get called 50 times a frame?

[languid pendant]

private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        PhysicsEngineUpdate();        
    }

public void PhysicsEngineUpdate(string tagFilter = null)
    {
        if(tagFilter != null)
            _gravity.SimulateGravity(TagFilter(_PhysicsBodies, tagFilter));
        else
            _gravity.SimulateGravity(_PhysicsBodies);
    }

That's basically what the physics engine does

Just allows me to manually call physics updates when needed for the prediction engine

[orchid bane]

Thanks

[agile zinc]

        Ray ray = currentCamera.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
        if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out info, 100, LayerMask.GetMask("Tile")))```
Even when I keep my mouse completely still over an object, it sometimes doesn't count it as a hit.

#854851968446365696 for how to share code

[frosty venture]

wdym its with pastebin

[somber nacelle]

lol you're not supposed to download the text file from pastebin and share the file, you're supposed to share the link

also pastebin sucks, use a better site like one of the ones linked in #854851968446365696

[frosty venture]

https://gdl.space/asupiqehoq.cs

now

can u help me tho?

[somber nacelle]

you realize you are starting an instance of that coroutine every single frame, right? so if you are running at 60 frames per second, by the end of a single second you'll have 60 instances of that coroutine running

[frosty venture]

not realizing much atm I am working on this shitty game for like 6 hours without breaks and did not progress much

[somber nacelle]

then maybe take a break and come back to it with a fresh perspective?

[potent sleet]

then you should rest up and start with a fresh mind

[frosty venture]

maybe

but I want to finish this first

[somber nacelle]

trust me when i say this will be easier for all of us if you take a break then come back to it with a fresh mind. i've already pointed out a pretty major issue with your code so after your break, address that then if you're still having trouble figuring it out ask here

[frosty venture]

ok ig

thx

[vestal oar]

I'm trying to set a dropdown's value to the current resolution at startup. I feel like this should be right, but for some reason it always sets it to my monitor's resolution instead of the game's displayed resolution
https://gdl.space/sikipaduwa.cpp

[orchid bane]

cuz you are clearing maybe

[vestal oar]

I actually had the same thought right after I posted that hahaha, but sadly that didn't help

[orchid bane]

would definitely help if you posted at least how the variables are used before and after this excerpt

[vestal oar]

Shoot sorry, let me get the whole script. It's kind of a mess rn since I've been trying to figure this out for 3 hours lol

[vestal oar]

https://gdl.space/ugerikugop.cs

[orchid bane]

I think there are some premade windows for such stuff

So ApplyChanges is empty, you know?

[vestal oar]

Yeah, but I'm not calling it yet, that'll be once the stuff that's commented out in ChangeResolution is active

[orchid bane]

You are using such a line to apply the changes fullscreenDropdown.value = 0;

Are you sure it does what you need?

Oh, your window is made with unity

[vestal oar]

Ah yeah, that one is just to get the fullscreenmode in the beginning and set that dropdown to the right one. The one that's giving me trouble right now is: resolutionDropdown.

[orchid bane]

So you check your results simply by checking what the dropdown displays?

Perhaps swap these 2 lines?

     resolutionDropdown.RefreshShownValue();
     resolutionDropdown.SetValueWithoutNotify(currentResolutionIndex);```

[vestal oar]

Exactly, since I want the dropdown to set it's value to the current resolution. So I keep trying to build the game, change the resolution and open the dropdown to see if it's being set to the right one

[orchid bane]

.

[vestal oar]

Let me try thgat

Shoot, same thing. I changed it to 640x480 and then refreshed the menu, so it should show that as the resolution instead of 2560x1440

[orchid bane]

Why do you even use this !optionsList.Contains(option) condition if Start method gets launched only once?

[vestal oar]

I actually have it set to run again onEnable. That way when the new scene loads with a different menu, but the same script, it'll re-check the resolution

That way I can also keep troubleshooting it while playing it

[high shadow]

Okay. Really stupid question, but the code channels in this server do not talk about the same code as in c#?

I want to make sure I absolutely am understanding right

[orchid bane]

Perhaps place a debug here to see if the condition is satisfied?

if (defaultUnityResolutions[i].width == Screen.width && defaultUnityResolutions[i].height == Screen.height)
            {
                currentResolutionIndex = shortResolutionList.Count - 1;
            }```

[orchid bane]

C# is the same everywhere

But people here are way more familiar with everything related to Unity

[high shadow]

Yes but the code spoke about in these code channels isn't c# or is it?

[vestal oar]

I actually just tried that
https://gdl.space/abubeluxip.bash

I see that debug showing up twice though, so I'm gonna try to add a clear to the beginning of Start()

[hexed pecan]

It is C#

[high shadow]

Okay. I got confused as when I asked about c# I was directed to a c# server previously that's all.

[orchid bane]

Here? Well, you shouldn't have been

[high shadow]

Well a different channel but they distinctly said the c# server.

Maybe for general c# as opposed to unity specific?

[leaden solstice]

Here we talk about Unity related code questions not general C# questions

Unity code is written in C# yes

[orchid bane]

Probably you shouldn't ask data bases related questions here yeah

[high shadow]

Ok so if I have a question about c# when using unity, I ask here. But other stuff elsewhere. I think I got it. Maybe

[potent sleet]

or c#10 functions xD

[high shadow]

Hopefully I can figure out the difference before I ask lol. Thanks for the explanation. I appreciate it

[orchid bane]

You won't get punished or anything, just ask and you will get it after a few questions

[high shadow]

Ok. 🙂 At this time no further questions tho. X.x tysm

[orchid bane]

Then try to debug Screen.width there

How much is it?

I mean

In the last brackets we talked about

if (defaultUnityResolutions[i].width == Screen.width && defaultUnityResolutions[i].height == Screen.height)
            {
                currentResolutionIndex = shortResolutionList.Count - 1;
            }```

These ones

[orchid bane]

I's what's logged?

[vestal oar]

So it seems to run once and finish under Start(), then run again

[orchid bane]

You have quite many debugs I see

[vestal oar]

I tried running that block for the resolution just under the OnEnable and that mostly fixed it, but now when I build the game the dropdown isn't populated lol

[vestal oar]

The other two in there are actually the ones at the end of the Start() script, so I would expect them after the OnEnable as well though, so I'm not sure why it's only running through that block more than once

[orchid bane]

Because Start + OnEnable?

You know when Start is called, right?

[vestal oar]

Yeah 😭

[orchid bane]

So 1 + 1 = 2

And twice is more than once

So why are you surprised the block is used twice

[vestal oar]

Oh sorry, I should've explained that better hahaha. I'm not surprised it ran twice, but I am surprised that it found the same resolution the second time, but as a different index number, when it basically should've run the Start() function twice

[vestal oar]

That ended up fixing it though, thanks so much for the quick responses and insane amount of help!

[orchid bane]

I think half of the time I must have looked like I was saying stupid things

But okay

[vestal oar]

LOL nah, you at least got my brain thinking and working towards the right solution

[solemn raven]

hey,
how bad is it to make a list of 2000 items of a custom class, (the custom class would be something like that)

  public class BoxItem{
  public int currentNumberOfItems;
  public int maxNumberOfItems;
  public string brandName;
  public string itemType;
  public bool option1;
  public int option2;
  public bool option3;
  public int option4;
  public bool option5;
} 

on a relay server that also holds this "database"
and whenever a player asks to get an Item from the box, I need to look for a box with those filters( type: "TypeA", brand:"ThisBrand", op1:false, op2:3, op3:true, op4:3, op5:false) , I should loop through the whole list and find the boxItem that he wants knowing the following
1 - there might be up to 500-15000 people online at a time.
2 - I dont need to keep the database of the box after it's empty and gone

do I need a database for that or a simple list with a for..loop is enough ?

[orchid bane]

Sounds expensive

[solemn raven]

I read online 2 answers about this , some says 10000 is like nothing for server, others said "you are better off with a database" , so Im not sure.

but its not just a server its also a relay

[orchid bane]

Not sure about the specifics

But jobs+burst boost performance of monotonous tasks very much

Depends on your server's count of cores tho

[solemn raven]

1 core, I'll start with 1 and expand as needed

I can go up to 32

[orchid bane]

Well, jobs don't really give extra performance with 1 core

But 1 core doesn't sound fine for 1000 players too

[solemn raven]

hmm, I would probably expand to 8 at least if 1000-10,000 ppl joined

but to start I just want to use 1core

[orchid bane]

But you of course can implement some optimisation techniques for your database

[solemn raven]

so you are suggesting a database instead of a list ?

[orchid bane]

For example keep track of lists of items with the same characteristics

And update the lists once a new box is spawned or a currently alive on is changed

So you will have like a separate collection for each variation of each parameter

It will boost performance quite a bit

Tho memory consumption will rise up

[solemn raven]

its ok if the player waited few seconds for this to update.

so multiple lists would be better than SQL ?

[orchid bane]

Not worked with SQL and not knowledgeable about its optimisations, but compared to filtering through all the boxes each time this approach is pretty fast

Depending on circumstances of cource

[leaden solstice]

Do players modify that list as well or is it just read only

[solemn raven]

modify

[leaden solstice]

You are better off with database

[cold egret]

• Reposting it here, apparently this doesn't fit the beginner channel.

• I have my own state machine class that has a registry of state classes that implement an interface, and a registry of state-state transitions. I'd like to implement a state_type-state transitions, but how could i? Specifications:

State is any class that implements a corresponding interface
State_type is any state that is marked as abstract
Transition contains a goal state and a condition
Transitions are performed by getting a list of transitions, corresponding for the current state and checking its conditions, swapping to a goal state if it returns true

• So an example would be abstract classes Idle, Move and Crouch, all of them are inherited from abstract Grounded. After i add a transition from Idle to Crouch, it works only for these two. However if i add one from Grounded to Idle, it works for any of the mentioned states

[orchid bane]

Say we have class StringUsersTracker and class StringUsersTrackerService the latter of which is a singleton or you get a reference to in our box otherwise. Then you do stringUsersTrackerService.Subscribe(myString, this) which checks if there is a StringUsersTracker associated with the string, if there is one then connects your this to the tracker. If there isn't one then first creates then connects. And when you request stringUsersTrackerService.GetBox(typeName = "Gucci") it again checks if there is a tracker associated with it. If there is none, says no such boxes. If there is one, creates a short living list, adds all string users from the tracker to the list and returns the list.

If there are more requirements to the boxes than only type, then for each item in the short living list check the StringUserTrackers of the corresponding type for containing the item and remove from your short lived list those who don't.

Quite a significant cut down on operation cost if you ask me

[solemn raven]

that is pretty cool

[orchid bane]

Tho probably StringUsersTracker can further be abstracted to something like Tracker and accept as the key objects instead of only strings

Or Associator

[solemn raven]

@orchid bane @leaden solstice have either of you heard of https://redis.io/ ?

[orchid bane]

no

[solemn raven]

it might have all the optimizations that we were talking about in an open source

its a database on the memory, I have just learned about it

[leaden solstice]

Redis is key value store not really does indexing or transaction for you like RDBMS

[solemn raven]

I dont raelly need a database, if there is no one online , its ok for my database/list to be empty.

so Im not sure and I dont really wanna benchmark everything, I just wanna use what is working.

and from my experience im a mayer of making mistakes, I rather not re invent the wheel, coz I'd probably fail lol

[orchid bane]

What I suggested only involves a few classes tho

[leaden solstice]

The main issue of your structure is that you'll end up in race condition if multiple users trying to modify your list

Is your server gonna be single threaded

[solemn raven]

Yeah I love it, I dont mind making more classes, I will certainly use it in some project ❤️ , but if there is an open-source out there or a complete product that is trusted by others, I would rather go with that than anything I do myself 😄

[orchid bane]

Jobs carefully work around race conditions tho

[leaden solstice]

What jobs

[orchid bane]

Unity jobs

You know

In DOTS

[solemn raven]

Im not sure honestly , its a relay server .. but probably yes a single threaded

[leaden solstice]

He's talking about server

[orchid bane]

My friend created a few servers which work in unity tho

[solemn raven]

altough its made for unity, the server knows nothing about unity. Im sure of that.
it only collects requests and passes data

[leaden solstice]

You don't want to use Unity for server with 15000 concurrent users

Speaking of that you probably also don't want to use single thread for it

[solemn raven]

its not , i hosted a relay server on Digital oceans , no worry

[orchid bane]

Quite a shame not to utilise Unity Jobs actually

[solemn raven]

but the relay already has list of those boxes so i thought maybe I could use it on the other hand I could use an actual database, from there I keept sniffing around for an answer

[cold egret]

• Anybody?

[regal epoch]

I'm a bit new to unity. What would be the best option to make a multiplayer game? The game would host on device 1 and give a random code for other players to join on their device

[vagrant blade]

Best option is subjective. They all are just variations to achieve the same thing. Unity's NGO, photon, mirror are all options.

None of these will do the work for you. Having a strong development background and understanding of networking is what's important.

[regal epoch]

Awesome, thanks!

[prisma birch]

I've got a question about coroutines and running additive scenes. I'm trying to use a fade to black and fade in during a scene transition. I'm running a coroutine to handle the fading down and up on my camera which exists on the player scene, separate from the scenes I am loading and unloading. The fade to black seems to work fine but fading back in never fires and the coroutine seems to die as soon as the scene transitions. Do coroutines die anytime a scene is loaded? I would guess it should only kill coroutines on scenes that were unloaded.

[leaden solstice]

You should explain what part you are having problem implementing it. The answer for "how could I do it?" is just register as same as what you do for state to state transitions.

[leaden solstice]

If the GO you are running coroutine didn't get unloaded then it should be still running

[full furnace]

i need help again hehe

i created a new scene and now my hole progress is away how do i get it back?

[devout nimbus]

Like in game progress or your scene wasnt saved?

[full furnace]

yea

[prisma birch]

Yeah that's what I intended to happen. Maybe I'm misunderstanding how ownership of the coroutine works. I call the coroutine from a script on a GO that will be unloaded but the coroutine itself exists on the camera which is persistent and in my player scene.

[devout nimbus]

I asked two questions

DontDestroyOnLoad

[full furnace]

i was making a game and then i ve got the idea to make a menu scene and then i clicked new scene and opend it, now i am in the new scene and i dont know how to come back

[prisma birch]

In this case does the coroutine then belong to the script that called it or the camera system which owns the IEnumerator?

[leaden solstice]

Which is the object you called StartCoroutine?

[prisma birch]

Ah so there's my problem, I guess make a void function on the camera system that can start the coroutine

rather than starting it on the trigger that sends the player to the next scene

[leaden solstice]

IEnumerator itself is not a coroutine and doesn't know it's owner FYI
It's only coroutine when you pass it to StartCoroutine

[full furnace]

i was making a game and then i ve got the idea to make a menu scene and then i clicked new scene and opend it, now i am in the new scene and i dont know how to come back

[prisma birch]

Got it, ty for the clarification 🙏

[full furnace]

IS it possible to get my Scene back?

[proper oyster]

find the original scene asset in your project if you did not override it with the new scene

[pearl radish]

Locate the scene in the project files and open it

[full furnace]

thank you guys

[leaden solstice]

Always use version control too

[full furnace]

I guess i can kill my self, the scene is not there

[cold egret]

• As i mentioned, "type" is an abstract class. Currently, transitions are stored within a dictionary of <Type, List<StateTransition>>. It works perfectly fine as long as i refer to it with a concrete, non-abstract type, but only then. I can post a script if you wish, but it's going to take long to see what it actually does. The most critical part would be

private List<Transition> GetTransitions(IState state)
        {
            Type type = state.GetType();
            if (!_stateTransitionsRegistry.ContainsKey(type)) _stateTransitionsRegistry.Add(type, new List<Transition>());

            return _stateTransitionsRegistry[type];
        }

_stateTransitionRegistry is a <Type, List<Transition>> dictionary, which contains a collection of transitions per state type. It works perfectly fine with concrete classes, but i don't know how to make it gather results for all inherited classes as well

[full furnace]

where is it?

[pearl radish]

I am not at your computer, so how could I possibly know

[full furnace]

experience

[pearl radish]

Yes I have experience in where you locate your files

There may be a Scenes folder, it could be in there

You may even be able to search the project files like this t:Scene but I am not 100% sure

I want to do this right now but i can't seem to find the example.
Anyone know by any chance what the correct way was to convert a string to an integer id for the animator component?

i thought the animator component had a method for this but it seems not, as i can't find it

You should check base class type with Type.BaseType or Type.GetInterfaces() and add them to derived types

[pine acorn]

Ok, I am participating in a game and there is a mechanic that is difficult for me to perform and I would like to know if you can help me in any way.

The mechanics consists in that the player, by pressing the space button, propels him to a point (in this case it is the green point) and then falls

Explanation

The idea is that when you move the green dot somewhere, the player will always push to where the dot is.

The trajectory predictor can be taken as inspiration.

But the difference is that the direction is handled by the green dot

---

Attempts

Tried to make the player's rigidbody2d translate to the green dot
through a vector3

Player.transform.position = Vector3.MoveTowards(Current player position, Green dot position, Movement speed * Time.deltaTime);

That makes it move to the green dot
Upon reaching the green point, the transfer code is deactivated so that the player falls
but it falls very hard

[livid radish]

what is the best unity 2d and 3d scripting tutorial?

[pine acorn]

But I want a fall like this

If someone can help me, I would appreciate it very much, (And sorry for so much text but I think a clear explanation is necessary)

[graceful patio]

this decreases when its a negative when i put the same data into the same algo i wrote but in java it works :')

[cold egret]

• Well, i rather need to check if class is abstract, and get all children in the dictionary if that's the case. I assume that base type method returns only a parent class?

[graceful patio]

Im referring to where it says y: for some reason it decreases

but when i write it in java it increases

[leaden solstice]

BaseType returns direct parent of the type so you need to do it recursively.

[candid shoal]

when I enable a child gameObj, the parent transform seems to move

note that the parents transform position never changes and the child's transform is zero

anyone understand this?

[autumn arrow]

    Vector2[] doorsDown;
    public Vector2[] getDoorsDown
    {
        get
        {
            if (doorsDown != null)
                return doorsDown;
            // ... calculate doors down
            doorsDown = doors.ToArray();
            return doorsDown;
        }
    }

Is this the right way to only calculate once a getter?

Seems ugly to me

[leaden solstice]

public Vector2[] DoorsDown => doorsDown ??= doors.ToArray();

pretty

[autumn arrow]

Well, the //... is because it has some lines

and that's not a getter, but yea, prettier

[quartz folio]

That is a getter

[leaden solstice]

That is getter 😄

[autumn arrow]

weee

started with c# today hehe

[leaden solstice]

But if you need additional calculation the code you wrote seems correct

[autumn arrow]

Okay, ty

[quartz folio]

I would note though that naming your variable getX is not a good naming convention. Name it what it is, and the fact that it's a property with a getter indicates the rest

The C# capitalisation conventions (that Unity hasn't historically followed, annoyingly) have public properties and methods as PascalCase, private as underscored _camelCase. So there wouldn't be any conflict between public and private names

[autumn arrow]

Yeah, I'm too accustomed to write every method with camelCase

but I should try to change my mind when working with unity

[candid shoal]

Im trying to match a capsule collider along points A and B

getting some strange behavior

[autumn arrow]

Which is point A and B?

[candid shoal]

A is where the collider is currently

which the parent gameObj is set to

point B is where the line renderer ends

[autumn arrow]

who is parent?

[quartz folio]

change the direction of the capsule collider to Z

and position it at (pointA + pointB) / 2f

Or offset it by that distance

[candid shoal]

I could use it's center property for that yeah?

[quartz folio]

sure

[candid shoal]

I see thanks
Heres my understanding:
I put the capsule collider on Z which can be thought of as "forward"
then I rotate the gameObj's forward towards point B

[unreal temple]

fyi it's usually called PascalCase, Title Case, camelCase.

although I think you probably know that already

[quartz folio]

whoops, I knew that but made a mistake. Title and Pascal are the same are they not though?

[unreal temple]

Title has spaces

"This Is Title Case" "This is sentence case"

"ThisIsPascalCase"

[quartz folio]

impossible in code then 😛

[unreal temple]

yeah

except pogoscript

How exactly does depenetration work? Suppose you have a capsule collider as your player, and a box collider as your wall. What are the steps to this? Not a lot of stuff online about this or I'm just looking in the wrong place

[prisma birch]

I need some help regarding scene management if anyone is familiar. Here's my issue:

I have a large sphere collider on my player that I'm using to detect nearby scene exits for additive loading. When the collider touches a scene exit I use SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneName, LoadSceneMode.Additive) and immediately set allowSceneActivation to false because I only want to activate the scene when the player's main collider actually touches the exit trigger.

It's working fine for loading, the problem is I'd like to remove the scene from memory and the hierarchy when the player's large sphere collider exits the scene exit trigger. How can I do this?

SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync(sceneName); leaves the scene hanging in the (is loading) state. Is there a different way to kill an async operation or is there a better way to do this?

[vital spade]

Hello, I need some help implementing spread to a shotgun in a 2D top down
I already did a rifle with a single shot without spread and this is how I'm starting with the shotgun but no idea how to do the spread in every bullet instantiate

        for (int i = 0; i < ammountOfBullets; i++) {
            Instantiate(bullet, bulletSpawner.position, bulletSpawner.rotation);
        }  
    }

Also this is how I control the movement of the bullet, rb2D is the RigidBody2D of the bullet

private void FixedUpdate() {
        rb2D.MovePosition(transform.position + transform.up * speed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);    
    }

[plucky parrot]

you could just randomize the rotation

of the bullets

just add a random vector3 to the rotation's euler

bullet.eulerAngles += new Vector3(Random.Range(-range, range), Random.Range(-range, range), Random.Range(-range, range))

i believe you can do that

it wouldnt be as accurate tho

if you want like a perfect spread you can just set the rotation in the for loop where you instantiate them

have a float that starts from the left and goes to the right

and apply the rotation to each bullet

[plucky parrot]

i mean if you're doing 2D then it would be a vector2d

and you would not need to worry about the other axis so only one rotation axis

[vital spade]

I'll give it a shot, I don't want the bullets to have a perfect spread, more like a limited random spread for each

Hi! I'm experimenting with Mesh Deformation.
Would it be possible to change/blend materials based on vertex position?

For instance, let's say we have a flat mesh with a dirt material -- If one or more of the vertices were moved higher than their original positions, then that part of the mesh would blend into a more snowy looking material.
As well, similar could be done if said vertices were moved, instead, lower than their original position, blending into a magma looking material as opposed to snowy.

Any insight into this would be highly appreciated!

[leaden ice]

Could just have a fragment shader do that pretty easily.

Give it all the textures and you can write it to blend them based on world space height

[wise escarp]

That does sound good to me, I have just one question regarding that method -- Instead of basing it on world height, would I be able to base it on the meshes original vertex positions VS. modified vertex positions? Thank you for the assistance :)

I have decent experience with hex-level binary reversing and reading, but I've never encountered this issue before and it's totally confusing: I have a binary file (non-unity-standard file extension so I had to use an editor script to let me use it as a TextAsset) that has the beginning bytes as "52 42 53 50 01 00 00 00 AC 2E 7C 00". When I read the first 12 bytes and print out the bytes using the following code Stream s = new MemoryStream(MapFile.bytes); BinaryReader BR = new BinaryReader(s); byte[] hi = BR.ReadBytes(12); Debug.Log(BitConverter.ToString(hi)); I get the result "52-42-53-50-01-00-00-00-EF-BF-BD-2E" which is obviously not correct. Does the TextAsset conversion somehow modify the .bytes data or what could possibly cause an issue like this?

Maybe the TextAsset thing is causing it TextAsset subAsset = new TextAsset(File.ReadAllText(ctx.assetPath)); I can't just use ReadAllBytes instead though..

Nevermind, just adding ".bytes" to the end of the file name is required and fixed it.

I am looking into networking

NetcodeForGameObjects seems great, but if I wanted to, could I export my own dedicated sever? I know a lot of the server files are wrapped up in the client or even shared.

If I went for ENet... Could I re-use C# code between the client and server? It seems foolish to attempt to write the server 100% separate and assume zero overlap code with the client. And it's also very low level. Is it still feasible without all the high level stuff in NetcodeForGameObj?

if you want both to be called, you could have a reference to changetheweapon within weaponslot1selected

in the SelectMenuWeapon script have this line where you would have ints floats etc:

Public WeaponPickUp myweapon;

Then set it manually within the scene (You can also use GameObject.FindObjectOfType)

then you can use myweapon.ChangeTheWeapon() within the WeaponSlot1Selected function of the SelectMenuWeapon script.

[outer radish]

Hello! Does anyone know if there is a way to check the character count in a InputField and how?

[gloomy sage]

if you can get the string itself onto a script you can probably do <String>.Length

the <string> would be replaced by the reference to the string

if there is only one weaponslot1selected, have picking up a new weapon find said weaponslot1selected and call a function in it to set the "myweapon" from my example above

if there are more than 1 weaponslot1selected you may need a singleton or just a base character that can link the weapon to the slot somehow.

you seem to have "weaponE.ItemToDrop"
you can possibly use itemtodrop.Getcomponent<WeaponPickUp>().ChangeTheWeapon();

if you need reference to WeaponPickUp within the menu, you can try GameObject.Find();
putting the name of the weaponslot1 into GameObject.Find(); will return its gameobject and you could feed it data from the weapon itself.

ok so you need to find what weapon you're going to drop
if you have a "Weaponpickup" class within the weaponslot1's code [Public WeaponPickUp myweapon;]
then you can have a reference to your newest weapon

so whenever a new weapon enters slot 1 have it somehow get a reference to slot 1's script itself and fill the reference
<Myslot1>.myweapon = this;

whereas <Myslot1> is a the reference to the slot 1 gameobject

[exotic reef]

the gameobject and targets are in straight line , the gameobject rotation jiggles a bit when it reaches target object for a bit. even tho the rot variable and transform.rotation is depicting the same vectors of rotation.(bcz they are in straight line

[gloomy sage]

then when the weapon is dropped just have
myweapon.ChangeTheWeapon();
within the drop script caused by the ui button press

anyone knows how to turn right a wheel thats already rolling forward?
i can turn wheel to the sides, or i can drive/roll it forward, but only one of these things.
when I roll wheel forward, 2/3 of its axes become useless for rotating, because theyre rotating themselves. So when I roll the wheel forward, its impossible for me to cleanly turn left or right.

[gloomy sage]

transform.RotateAround(transform.right, speed);
or something like that

speed is whatever speed the wheel do be going

[swift falcon]

no the thing is transform.right rotates when u roll the wheel forward

ah try tranform up if you want to try to make it slightly rotate leftwards or rightwards

using transform.right rather than vector3.right alongside rotatearound will make the rotation be centered on the object rather than worldspace

[swift falcon]

both up and right rotate

i could help more if i had a snippit of your code to understand what you hav enow

[exotic reef]

at the end of the video u can see the train jiggles a bit . its rotation should not affect bcz gameobject and all target objects are in straight line . how to fix that?
somethings wrong about quaternion.slerp?

[gloomy sage]

im a bit too tired right now...

you;re going to need some reference to what weapon is in each slot
like
public WeaponPickUp WepInSlot1
public WeaponPickUp WepInSlot2
public WeaponPickUp WepInSlot3

etc

then you can reference them

[devout nimbus]

Dont make anything public unless other scripts need to access it. Serialize it instead

What exactly are you doing if you dont mind reiterating it?

You are trying to use WeaponPickUp as a singleton?

public virtual bool IsEnabled => enabled;```
Why does `IsEnabled` have only getter if `enabled` has both getter and setter?

One of my plugins has #if !NOT_UNITY3D, but I cannot find notions of this directive on unity website, can you help?

[mellow sigil]

Surely Unity doesn't need to define a directive for not-Unity

Probably the plugin's mechanism for running it outside Unity

[orchid bane]

Do you think I can safely delete it?

[mellow sigil]

Can't really tell without knowing what it does, but going by the name deleting the line would do nothing

and deleting the entire block would probably not be a good idea

Hi guys
The Issue is... I've attached a Application framerate target script in my scene to 60. (as mobile phones by default fps is set to 30)
but after that, My First Person Controller(built with character controller) when moving horizontally.... It jitters
when I set framerate to 30, the camera jittering problem goes away
what would be the reason? anyone faced yet?

[orchid bane]

Check the working of the controller

Jittering is usually connected to some things which should be in Update being in FixedUpdate

Or reversed

[broken jewel]

alright, let me try that
