#

but when i actually try and read that changed value i get some issues

#

im reading it on LateUpdate but its returning the animated position

#

despite clearly being in the changed position visually

#

the first value is being changed on lateupdate
the second value should be the same, and is also being read on lateupdate by a seperate script

whats goin on here?????

image.png
#

hi chatgpt

#

yeah this does not help

#

i cant use update. i have to use lateupdate, because i am overriding an animated bone

#

its just whenever i ask to return the position its returning the animated position, even on late update

pastel fiber
#

then use the same script but with late update late update is the same has update but is called right after it

It's not hard to spot it. The phrasing is always the same, and it writes comments on every line.

Something im a little curious about
Ive seen people say use CompareTag instead of == and i saw the unity bot message saying to use Mathf.Approximately instead of == when comparing floats
But why? What makes them so much better? Im guessing some performance? But what kind of performance would that even be?

vagrant blade
#

As for approximately, that's because you can't do == comparisons on floats, they'll never be the same (but very close). So Mathf.Approximately will check if the distance between those two floats are less than a small value.

Hello guys! I'm having problems doing the build for IOS in XCode. Can someone help me?

tidal shadow
#

Well, writing the method takes longer than ==

quartz vessel
#

What is clean software architecture? and how can we use it in game development?

leaden ice
#

typing speed is basically never the bottleneck for writing code

tidal shadow
#

gameObject.CompareTag is longer than gameObject.tag ==

#

And if there isnt a lot of them in a short period of time, it doesnt really save time to use the method

leaden ice
#

yes, it is more characters. Sometimes the better thing is a little longer

#

actively choosing to create garbage is kinda silly

tidal shadow
#

I would call it preference

#

I like the looks of == more

#

Lol

#

CompareTag just feels overly fancy or smt lol

Use whichever you want.🤷‍♂️

Question: I'm trying to place and tween an object to a certain rotation, let's say 0,0,0. The object has a script that makes it rotate slightly when being moved. Now when I place the object the rotation script stops and it successfully tweens to 0,0,0.
My issue is that the object does a 360 degree spin to get to the vector rotation if it's current rotation is slightly positive or negative (I can't remember which one). I know there is a solution to do with math, where it will rotate it to the closest 360, but I'm not entirely sure how.

marble badger
#

@lone cape how did you implement the tween?

lone cape
#

Static void that takes in the object and end rotation then uses.
LeanTween.rotate(gamobject, EndRotation, Duration)

marble badger
#

ah. ok, I have no idea how LeanTween implements that 🙂

tidal shadow
marble badger
#

the best solution here is usually to use a quaternion slerp, but it sounds like the method you're using may be doing a lerp of the euler angles.

lone cape
#

I think so, it takes in a vector for the end rotation so I'm assuming it's using Euler angles

#

Is there anyway to like normalize it or something to make it rotate to the closest 360 angle?

past pier

Hey Guys. I'm wrapping a world grid funcationality up. Which begs the question - would you happen to know of a shader (or of a way I could procedurally modify an existing shader - I'm writing a mod, the more I can do in pure code the better) that always remains unapologetically white despite lightning conditions (so also in the middle of the night), but itself doesn't emit white light on surrounding objects?

marble badger
#

@lone cape There's probably going to be some way of doing it using modulo (the % operator) and adding/removing 360.0f to the values

main shuttle
tidal shadow
#

but maybe not

marble badger
#

yeah I think it's not that easy

leaden solstice
#

Not for negative values

marble badger

it's probably better to just use the right interpolation method in the first place

i have a problem: Assets\Scripts\UpagradesManager.cs(150,20): error CS0266: Cannot implicitly convert type 'BreakInfinity.BigDouble' to 'int'. An explicit conversion exists (are you missing a cast?)

#

this is the line:

tidal shadow
#

u need to provide more code than just 1 line
context is necessary

main shuttle
echo steeple
#

what do you need

tidal shadow
#

code related to it

marble badger
#

as the error message says, you are probably missing a cast

}

[Serializable]
public class OfferIconTree
{
    public string name { get; private set; }
    public VisualTreeAsset tree { get; private set; }

What am I doing wrong? I can't add Serialized things (tried with dictionary and with this type of list)

image.png
echo steeple
marble badger
#

Dictionary isn't serializable, so it's expected that wouldn't work.

thick socket
#

figured

marble badger
#

but the problem you have here is that you're using a property, not a field

thick socket
#

but the other class I just made should be right?

marble badger
#

properties aren't serializable (because they're not really storage, they're just a pair of get/set functions). To make it serializable you need an actual field, e.g. public List<OfferIconTree> _offerIconList;

thick socket
#

ah, I just had to remove getter/setter thanks!

main shuttle
#

Either say you return a BigDouble, or cast to an int.

echo steeple

it works, for now

Hey is there any mode for Rigidbody2D that will prevents any external force from acting on it, however I still want it to detect collisions. Im not sure if Im making sense, but I can elaborate more. Thanks

main shuttle
#

A Kinematic Rigidbody 2D is designed to move under simulation, but only under very explicit user control. While a Dynamic Rigidbody 2D is affected by gravity and forces, a Kinematic Rigidbody 2D isn’t. For this reason, it is fast and has a lower demand on system resources than a Dynamic Rigidbody 2D. Kinematic Rigidbody 2D is designed to be repositioned explicitly via Rigidbody2D.MovePosition or Rigidbody2D.MoveRotation. Use physics queries to detect collisions, and scripts to decide where and how the Rigidbody 2D should move.

I downloaded Newtonsoft and I have these things. Should I copy and paste all of these in Assets/Plugins? My project doesn't have Plugins folder so creating by myself? Also I copied the Build Doc and Src inside the Assets/Plugins. My VS Code is detecting Newtonsoft.Json namespace but errors are being shown in Unity console that it couldn't recognize Newtonsoft. Also sorry if this is not related to coding but I couldn't find channel to ask questions like this

I'm trying to load a new scene that needs just a bit of information from one gameobject in the previous scene right when it starts
The current solution is to have the gameobject DontDestroyOnLoad (and then immediately destroyed / setactive(false) in the new scene)
I feel a bit dirty, am I missing some obvious solution?

leaden ice
#

something like a GameDataManager

north swift
#

RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Boxcast(...);
when checking hit.distance it always returns 0. My guess is that boxcast doesnt return a distance from origin to the hit point. How could I get the distance manually? I would prefer not to do another raycast though. Thanks!

leaden ice
#

you will want to first make sure it actually hit something before drawing any conclusions

north swift
#

Im sure that it hit something

leaden ice
#

then it's the second one

#

alr let me check if thats true, one sec

You're telling it to Enter the current state each frame, shouldn't you be only Updating it?

Yes I found the problem... cs if (currentState != null) currentState.Enter();
this code should be in Start() instead of Update()

still ruin
#

does anyone have an idea what could be causing this?

primal wind
still ruin
#

when the function NewGame is called by the button it will open up the new game menu

#

i'm waiting for unity to open so I can post some screenshots

#

the only time a new scene is loaded is when the player intends to start the game from the new game menu

#

each of the functions on this menu are called by buttons in the scene

primal wind
#

Oh my bad i misread the event method

still ruin
#

that is the menu when it first loads

#

then the new game menu is set to active when the new game button is clicked

#

but you have to click the new game button several times for the menu to open

primal wind
#

Can you put a Debug.Log() in the NewGame method and see if it gets called at all the first click?

still ruin
#

sure

#

it gets called at first click

#

it appears to take 8 clicks to get it to open

#

regardless of fast or slow clicking

primal wind
#

Does CloseMenus() also close this one menu?

still ruin
#

yes

#

it does so instantly

primal wind
#

Try manually closing the other menus

still ruin
#

that function is there so I can make sure nothing overlaps

#

completely disabled the closeMenus() function from being called from within NewGame() and it had no effect

#

still 8 clicks to open the menu

primal wind
#

That is really weird

still ruin
#

im going to swap it so there is no if statement at all around the set active

#

an it directly sets the menu to active

#

current state of newgame()

image.png
#

in play mode after the first click it registers the menu object as active

#

and spits out "active" in console

#

but the menu doesn't actually become active

#

alright, so just tried to activate it manually and it disabled itself automatically

#

except for the 8th time

#

i've never built UI before so i'm likely doing something very wrong

primal wind
#

Does it show as active in the hierarchy?

still ruin
#

no

#

it does for a split second before turning off

#

this code is attached to all my buttons

#

could that be the culprit?

primal wind
#

I don't think so

still ruin
#

oh shit

#

it starts disabled

#

so everything tagged with this script in the new game menu starts disabled

#

so when I go to open it, it is the first time starting

#

and it runs this line

#

yup

#

that was it

#

I guess I have to make sure that the UI is clean and all menus are closed before building lol

primal wind
#

You can manually set their state in the inspector tho?

still ruin
#

yeah, everything works now

still ruin
# still ruin

issue was that every single button had this script (and this function) attached to it

#

and since I start off with the menus closed they dont have a chance to run the start function

#

since they start non-active

#

so anytime they become active they will run the start line and close the menu

#

including if you enable the menu from inspector or code

#

theres 7 buttons on the menu, which explains why it took 8 times to get the menu to open

#

in short, I have big dum

should i use LeanTween or DOTween to animate UI? or just the animator in unity?

I'm having problems finding game objects after a load. I don't know if it's relevent but the script is running on an object marked as "DoNotDestroyOnLoad"

leaden ice
vivid wind
#

neither Find(string ObjectName) nor FindObjectOfType<controller> seem to work, they are returning null.

#

public void SetupScene()
{
_Controllers.serverController = GameObject.Find("ServerDataRepository").GetComponent<ServerController>();

#

I'm running code to change the scene using " SceneManager.LoadScene(1);" then calling the SetupScene call

#

The game objects are not disabled in the game view and in the editor scene.

#

I'm trying to go from the Main Menu to the Default Play Scene "Aka Desktop". The call is happening on the GAMEDATA object containing the scripts for managing game data. Once the scene loads I want it to get references to relevant GUI elements. Or would it be better for those elements to search for and attach to the GAMEDATA object on Awake/Start?

#

I'm using the GameData object in the main menu to load the player data before switching scenes rather than needing to pass the SaveSlot info to the Scene after load.

mossy snow
#

when are you calling SetupScene? LoadScene has a 1 frame delay, so I'd bet you're calling it during the same frame. That's the usual suspect

vivid wind

Ok Got it, I thought it was sequential unless you used aysnc load.

why on collison debug log dont get triggered

most likely the name doesn't match any of those. why are you even using the GameObject name for logic anyway?

    }```

If both this object and the object you collided with have the "red" tag
Did you mean to do that?

just if (col.gameObject.CompareTag("red"))

leaden ice
#

What you're doing right now will always return true

#

because it's silly

simple egret
brazen garden
#

yea now ur checking if the red tag == red tag

#

will always be true

somber nacelle
brazen garden
#

like PraetorBlue said, if (col.gameObject.CompareTag("red")) this will only be true if the box entered has a "red" tag name

bronze crystal
brazen garden
#

i personally would'nt do layers for such simple checks

#

you could even add an empty script to each box, if(col.gameObject.GetComponent<RedBox>())

#

if the red boxes have that script, will be triggered

somber nacelle
#

TryGetComponent instead of that GetComponent would be better

brazen garden
#

y

somber nacelle
#

but also making a "RedBox" component and "BlueBox" component just sounds wasteful

bronze crystal
#

it works for now, dont have to make it over complicated

leaden ice
#

Yeah I'd just make a ColoredObject script and have an enum for the color of the object

#

then you only have one type to worry about

#

and you can set the color in the inspector etc

somber nacelle
# brazen garden y

doesn't allocate in the editor if it doesn't have that component and includes the null check so you just output the component into a variable and can immediately use with without either two separate GetCompnent calls or a GetComponent call and a null check

brazen garden
#

just thinking for basic general code GetComponent is fine lol dont have to start worrying about overheads n stuff just yet

somber nacelle
#

it's not even just about the overhead, it reduces repeated code as well

if your going that route then why not use inheritance or abstract classes..... was just trying to keep it simple

gaunt garden
#

Unity generally prefers composition over inheritance by design, even though you can do both

leaden ice

#

this is general code right? lol

gaunt garden
#

Yes?

#

You asked why not use inheritance or abstract classes, I gave an answer. Many people don't prefer it over composition

mental wharf
brazen garden
#

was kinda a rhetorical question... my point was it all seemed a bit advanced for such a minor thing

gaunt garden
#

@mental wharf try closing your scene view in the editor and opening it again

#

Alternatively try deleting your camera and creating a new one. I've had this in the past and it seemed like something in either the editor or game camera broke

mental wharf
#

But is only happening when is use rb.velocity if i use rb.addforce() it does not happen. But if i use rb.addforce my player keeps slide and I cant get my character to be grounded so it dosen't slide.

somber nacelle
#

make sure you've set up linear drag on your rigidbody if you intend to use AddForce for movement otherwise you'll need to manually add force to apply stopping power

gaunt garden
#

@mental wharf I was referring to getting rid of this error: Screen position out of view frustum (screen pos 356.000000, 18.000000) (Camera rect 0 0 916 416)

mental wharf
gaunt garden
#

I don't think your sliding issue has anything to do with that error message

mental wharf
#

Yea I know im just trying to say that when im using rb.velocity I get that error but if im using rb.addforce() I dont

#

So thats why I was thinking my issue was in the movement script.

Just trying to implement crouching into my game where the camera moves downward as in the players height is adjusted. It somewhat works but when you hold down "C" the crouch button it just repeatedly crouches like I'm spamming the crouch button.

somber nacelle

#

Is that good @somber nacelle?

somber nacelle
#

if you are certain there is no other code the may affect the height of the player, then i recommend either using the debugger to step through the code and inspect the variables used and see the results of the conditions you are checking or print the info using Debug.Log

Pure code to do what exactly?

woeful leaf
#

To move the platform

#

but I'm not getting the right result.
Also this doesn't say a whole lot

upbeat fable
#

I'm trying to make it so if I leave my option menu scene and return to the scene the settings stay the same with PlayerPrefs but I can't figure it out. Can someone help me fix this?

#

Here's my current code trying to save the volume

image.png
#

The volume stays the same when changing scenes but the slider doesn't save like the float

somber nacelle
#

where do you get the saved value to assign it back to the slider/mixer when you load the scene again?

upbeat fable
#

The value is in a audio mixer and changes according to the slider position

somber nacelle
#

okay. so when you load a scene, where do you get the value from PlayerPrefs to assign it to the slider so it shows the currently set value?

upbeat fable
#

The float of the volume comes form a audio mixer and the slider is set so it moves from 0 to -80. When the slider goes lower the audio mixer also goes lower. The code is written so it assigns that number (volume) from the audio mixer ("Volume") to the slider.

somber nacelle
#

that's cool. where do you get the value from PlayerPrefs to assign it to the slider so it shows the currently set value when you reload the scene?

#

if you are somehow not understanding what i'm getting at: you need to get the value from PlayerPrefs and assign it to your audiomixer/slider when you load the scene, you can't just expect it to magically have the same values when you reload the scene

#

if you aren't calling PlayerPrefs.GetFloat anywhere then that's obviously the issue

Theres no way/easyish way to read the vertices of a mesh that is not read/write enabled?

leaden ice
zinc parrot
#

any way on the CPU?

#

do I need a seperate struct for each possible combination of vertex datas?

leaden ice
#

this is on the cpu

zinc parrot
#

wai tit is?

#

ohhh sorry thought that was for the GPU so I disregarded it]

leaden ice
#

everything in the unity script reference and in C# is on the cpu

zinc parrot
#

got it thank you!

#

oh its cuz its a graphics buffer

#

so I need a seperate struct for each possible combination of vertex data?

leaden ice
#

I don't understand what you mean by that

zinc parrot
#

if a mesh has say UV1, UV2, position, and normal, does it need to be handled differently than one that doesnt have uv2?

leaden ice
#

yes

zinc parrot
#

well heck

#

but that cant be made dynamic
welp time to make every combo of possible vertex structs

leaden ice
#

🤔 ?

#

What are you actually trying to do

#

wdym by "made dynamic"

zinc parrot
#

I am trying to get the tangents, normals, positions, and uv1's and uv2's of every vertex of a mesh on the CPU
but some meshes may not have all components

leaden ice
zinc parrot
#

hmmmmm ok
thisll be complicated

#

no more simple .GetTangents for me

#

thanks!

Hey folks, making a 2D character move around like in a 2D Zelda game. I'm fairly comfortable working with 3D stuff, but this project is exclusively 2D, so I'm using the 2D Rigidbody and... it doesn't seem to let me move around on the Z axis? Anybody know what's up with that, briefly?

leaden ice
leaden ice
#

it only has x and y

#

that's why it's called 2D

zinc parrot
#

I need a compute shader or something to read from the graphicsbuffer right?

azure heath
#

Righto. Hmm.

#

Can I use a 3D Rigidbody and still get collisions from a 2D collider?

#

I'd really prefer to use the XZ plane for non-vertical movement as this project may transition into 3D at some point.

leaden ice
leaden ice
azure heath
#

Welp. Hmm.

leaden ice
#

shouldn't be that difficult to swizzle the coordinates if you need later

azure heath
#

Well, the game itself may do a 2D => 3D transition. Hmm. This is vexing.

leaden ice
azure heath
#

I guess. Change the 3D gravity direction, etc.

zinc parrot
#

you can use GetData in a task right?

tawny jewel
#

i cant refer an instance i created on one script from another script in other scene, any ideas why?

leaden ice
#

show it

tawny jewel
#

welp the whole thing is pretty much just public static logicmanagerscript instance;
and then instance = this; under void awake

leaden ice
#

Presumably... you're doing something wrong with your code. Show it

tawny jewel
leaden ice
tawny jewel
#

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class bestScore : MonoBehaviour
{
logicmanagerscript.inst
}

#

thats the whole second script

leaden ice
#

that wouldn't even compile

tawny jewel
#

i cant reference .instance

leaden ice
#

so if that's your second script your problem is it's not valid C# at all

tawny jewel
#

well ignore that logicmanagerscript.inst i just stopped typing cause it didnt recognize it

leaden ice
#

you can't just type random stuff, other than member declarations, outside of a method

tawny jewel
#

alright, so how can i reference this instance?

leaden ice
#

read

#

put your code in a method

tawny jewel
#

oh god i just reaslised

#

welp im dum ig

#

thank you for your time

Hello

#

Can someone help a helpless man with a simple problem?

somber nacelle
fast path
#

I adjusted the code around boxfriend... not entirely sure how the debugger is supposed to help with a logical error like so because something in the code is incorrect

somber nacelle
#

the debugger would allow you to step through your code and inspect the values so you can determine if they are what you expect and how that impacts the conditions you are using

fast path
fast path
somber nacelle
#

i'm not a search engine, so i don't just have a list of youtube videos to pull out on a whim for you

#

and have you even bothered checking if you have any other code that may be affecting the scale or CC height property?

fast path
#

Yes

fast path
#

I finally figured it out. Thank you. However, for player movement, when I normalize the speed of my character, it's not as responsive as when the speed is NOT normalized such as when the character moves and stops. Without the "normalized" its snappy and feel crisp but when its normalized the movement feels sloppy and my character is kinda delayed when it starts to move and when its stopping, so it just feels off. I'm thinking of trying to adjust the drag but I'm using a Character Controller. Any thoughts?

somber nacelle
#

it's not related to whether you normalize the input or not, you're using GetAxis which has input smoothing, use GetAxisRaw instead if you don't want smoothing applied

fast path
#

Thanks man. I didn't know the difference between the two

zinc parrot
#

Is there a way to get the indexes from a mesh that doesnt have read/write enabled?

#

or I guess get the triangle array?

cosmic rain
zinc parrot
#

I managed to hack my way around to get it on the GPU and send it back

#

works for both 16 bit and 32 bit

cosmic rain
#

But why though? Why not just make it readable?

zinc parrot
#

unity likes to make all meshes marked static into one mesh

#

those meshes arnt readable

#

and cant be set to readable

cosmic rain
#

So you want to access static batching meshes?

zinc parrot
#

I needed it yeah

cosmic rain
#

I wonder if that's gonna break the batching somehow..?🤔

zinc parrot
#

shrug

cosmic rain
#

Why not just exclude that mesh from static batching.

zinc parrot
#

because i would have to exclude ALL Meshes from static batching, what im doing gathers all meshes

#

so I need access to the full mesh data in play mode

cosmic rain
#

Feels like you're doing something weird. But I think it's either gonna break the batching, causing weird bugs or just plainly disabling it, or force unity to rebuild the static mesh(probably not in a build).

Did you test if your manipulations work in a build?

zinc parrot
#

no

#

its just getting the graphics buffer of a mesh

cosmic rain
#

Are you modifying it in some way though?

#

Or is it just for reading?

zinc parrot
#

just reading

Hey, I am trying to use Scriptable Objects as Skill Modules that can be used by the Player or Enemies.
I'm Instantiating(Cloning) a Presetted S.O. of a certain SkillModule so the change of data within the S.O. doesn't affect anything else.
And also so that I don't have to reset data everytime I exit playmode.
But I don't see any tutorial or blog posts that use Scriptable Objects like this(Cloning at runtime).

Q: Am I missing out on a critical downfall or am I just worrying too much without any real issue?

polar marten
#

actually this is an okay use for them

#

as data containers

polar marten
#

you should instantiate it if you want to mutate it

#

it makes sense to me

low ledge

Is there no overkill if you only use it in small amounts of cases??

Hi. Are people in this channel familiar with DOTween?

#

I have a code snippet where I queue up a tween of my character moving from one space to the next, but I'd like to play a sound effect somewhere in the middle of the tween instead of only when it's done.

haughty fiber
#

Alright guys, I have a little bit of a math problem to work out here.

I have a vector3 that dictates which direction an object will move, with all values either being 1, 0 or -1. Let's call it moveDirection (IE: (1.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f) = in the positive z direction)

I also have two independent speed variables for each direction X and Z. These increase and decrease based on which direction the object is moving. Let's call them moveSpeedX and moveSpeedZ

Finally, I have a camera whose rotation I want the main object to move relative to. Let's call the it mainCamera

I'm having a bit of a problem. In order to get the proper moveDirection, I'm doing this call:

  Vector3 moveY = Vector3.up * moveDirection.y;
  Vector3 moveZ = mainCameraParent.transform.forward * moveDirection.z;
  Vector3 finalMove = (Vector3.Scale((moveX + moveZ).normalized, new Vector3(moveSpeedX, 1.0f, moveSpeedZ))+ moveY) * Time.deltaTime;
  charController.Move(finalMove)

This works just fine when the camera isn't rotated. However once I rotate the camera, it behaves erratically and doesn't conform to the camera's relative angle. I see why this is happening, because say you try to move in the +z-direction while the mainCamera rotation is 45 degrees to the left. That means the finalMove vector should have a value in both the x and z place.

However, because moveSpeedX is equal to zero, it gets rid of the value in the x spot. Leaving the object to move in the WORLDSPACE +z-direction not relative to a camera, at a decreased speed.

Anyone know how I can get this to work?

polar marten
kind grove
#

I can probably help. Give me a minute to calculate.

polar marten
kind grove
haughty fiber
kind grove
#

And you want different speeds depending on if it's going up or right?

haughty fiber
#

Essentially. So if it's moving in the positive X, moveSpeedX will be positive. If it's moving in the negative X, it will be negative. And if it's not moving at all, it will be 0

haughty fiber
kind grove
#

I see the problem, I'm trying to account for the different speeds in different directions.

haughty fiber
#

Same here

kind grove
#

I've got a math solution, just need to find the right functions in Unity

haughty fiber
#

Shoot! Maybe I can help you out

kind grove
#

How bizarre. Unity doesn't document Quaternion * Vector3.

haughty fiber
#

I think if you do Quaternion.Euler, it gives you the angle values

#

Then you can just do Scale(Vector3, Vector3)

kind grove
#

dont even need that

# 
TotalMoveInput.normalize();  // Normalize it to prevent issues with diagonals.

// Normally you would scale all dimensions evenly, but in your case it will move at variable speed depending on direction.
Vector3 FinalMove = TotalMoveInput;
FinalMove.x = FinalMove.x * moveSpeedX; // Scale input to X speed.
// Ignore Y.
FinalMove.z = FinalMove.z * moveSpeedZ; // Scale Input to Z speed.

FinalMove =  mainCameraParent.transform.rotation * FinalMove; // Rotate the vector to match camera rotation.

charController.Move(TotalMove * Time.deltaTime);```
#

@haughty fiber does that help?

haughty fiber
kind grove
#

May I suggest starting with all 3 speeds being the same?

haughty fiber
#

In return, have anything I might be able to help you out with?

kind grove
#

Yeah. The best thing you can do is compose the vector on its own in world rotation, then change it to camera rotation at the end.

#

Do you know DOTween?

haughty fiber
#

Not even remotely, I'm afraid

kind grove
#

Also, blame Unity for hiding an exceptionally useful function behind a * operator instead of making a descriptive one that shows up in searches.

#

@haughty fiber You might consider making a Extension Method to help you remember.

#

Something like transform.rotation.RotateVector(myVector);

haughty fiber
#

That's not a bad idea

#

Sorry I can't be of any help to you rn

#

@kind grove Damn dude your solution even helped with making the rotation when changing directions appear smooth. You're a wizard

kind grove
#

I've been using Unity since 2012. 🙂

winged cape
#

hey can i ask a question in here?

kind grove
#

You already did.

#

You can ask more.

winged cape
#

lovley

kind grove
winged cape
#

would you know how to use GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag to return the number of objects with said tag, I cant seem to get it to work

#

I want to have like a counter for remaining objects with that tag

kind grove
#

Sure. You have a few options.

#

What's the return type of FindGameObjectsWithTag?

#

And how often are you calling it?

kind grove
haughty fiber
#

I might be able to help out here too

#

How many times are you calling the find objects function?

winged cape
#

I guess its just returning gameObject, cause it says i cant convert it to float

haughty fiber
#

That's because FindGameObjectsWithTag returns an array of GameObjects

kind grove
#

You might want to ask in #💻┃code-beginner . It sounds like you don't know how to read the Unity API, or don't know what collections are.

haughty fiber
#

You would need to find the count/length of the array in order to find your count

#

Plus it'd end up being an int as opposed to a float

winged cape
#

when I trigger like the object collect

# haughty fiber Here's a little example of my problem. All numbers might be weird but that shoul...

It looks like you are trying to move a game object in the direction of the positive x-axis of the world space, but you want the movement to be relative to the camera's rotation. To do this, you need to transform the direction vector from world space to the camera's local space.

One way to do this is to use the Transform.InverseTransformDirection method. This method takes a direction vector in world space and returns the equivalent direction vector in the local space of the Transform.

Here's an example of how you can use this method to move the game object in the direction of the camera's x-axis:

// Get the camera's transform
Transform cameraTransform = Camera.main.transform;

// Calculate the move direction in the camera's local space
Vector3 moveDirection = cameraTransform.InverseTransformDirection(new Vector3(1, 0, 0));

// Calculate the final move vector by multiplying the move direction with the move speed
Vector3 finalMove = moveDirection * moveSpeedX;

This will move the game object in the direction of the camera's x-axis, taking into account the camera's rotation.

kind grove
#

Do you know what a List is?

strange pike
#

this is what ChatGPT says

haughty fiber
#

That's an array. What YOU want is the length of the array

kind grove
#

@winged cape Have you used Lists and Arrays before? If not you should brush up before continuing.

winged cape
#

I didnt know it returned int and not float

#

dumb mistake

haughty fiber
#

Ah lol

winged cape
#

much apricated

winged cape
haughty fiber
winged cape
#

it dont do that for me

kind grove
winged cape
#

is that an extension?

winged cape
kind grove
#

Yes. You might have missed something crucial.

haughty fiber
winged cape
#

it just displays the amount of tagged objects as text in a UI

# 
        MyburgerText.text = "" + BurgersLeft;```
haughty fiber
#

Yeah that seems alright to me

#

Personal preference just to MARGINALLY improve performance

#

I'd say only call the function to find burgers when a possible change to the number is made

#

You add a burger? Call the function

#

Remove a burger? Call the function

#

Otherwise you have no reason to call it

kind grove
#

Just to double check @winged cape have you used Lists and Arrays before?

winged cape
kind grove
#

If you have, I'd direct you to the script reference for more stuff about FindGameObjectsWithTags. Otherwise I'd push you to learn more about Arrays and Lists in pure C#.

haughty fiber
winged cape
winged cape
kind grove
#

Arrays and Lists are pretty important and shouldn't be skipped.

winged cape
#

yeah im pretty sure lists wouldve been helpful before, i ended up just using scenes to get arround it

#

lmao

#

ik its bad

#

you would cry if you saw my whole code

haughty fiber
#

*code

winged cape
#

I have way to much stuff in one script

haughty fiber
#

Well maybe

winged cape
#

idk im pretty sure there is

haughty fiber
#

But unless it's some kind of mass-replicated script, it should just depend on your convenience

#

Like the only difference between controlling a player + camera in different scripts VS. in the same script is how you prefer to work

winged cape
#

i started like a week ago and i feel like i learned so much already

#

so im not too stressed

#

I almost have a whole game and im not rly like piggybacking off tutorials

haughty fiber
winged cape
#

or is it harder then that

haughty fiber
#

That works. Or you can have a getter function

#

Thing is though, you need to be able to get that function in the first place

#

If Script A is trying to get a variable from Script B, even if the variable is public, Script A needs to know Script B is there

kind grove
#

Read up a bit more about C#, then approach Unity.

#

You should at least know the basics of OOP.

#

What a class is, etc.

haughty fiber
#

Exactly. I got lucky to have experience in OOP outside of Unity (and C# for that matter) before I started with Unity

kind grove
#

I learned some C before trying Unity, which helped.

haughty fiber
#

I learned Java primarily, which seems to have a lot in common with C#

winged cape
#

yeah for sure

winged cape
winged cape
kind grove
#

GetComponent()

haughty fiber
#

Exactly. With Unity, you don't actually access scripts directly unless serialized. You access the object that has the script in it

#

So to get script B, you'd need to have access to Object B

#

Then you'd do ObjectB.getComponent<ScriptB>()

#

Keep in mind everything I'm saying here is kind of the baseline. Should probably look up what I'm saying instead of taking it all at face value

low ledge
#

And then when you realize it would be convenient if Script B knows about Script A and Script A also knows about Script B you start wondering if you've done something dumb

winged cape
winged cape
#

or you can only do it if it is

haughty fiber
#

BUT

#

You can also serialize the script directly from Object B

#

[SerializeField] ScriptB script_B

#

From the menu, you could just put Object B directly in there

#

The from there, you could just use script_B.variable

winged cape
#

wait so script_B is just like the name right?

#

so either of those can be named anything? or the first one has to be the exact name of a script

low ledge
#

the first one has to be the exact type name yes, and the second one 'script_B' is just a name and could be anything yes

haughty fiber
#

The "ScriptB" on the other hand is the variable type. Which should be the same name as the script you're accessing

winged cape
#

Got it

I have a question

#

Wait no I'm fine

low ledge
#

Is doing something like this to play no-loop animations fine?

#

Is there a good reason there is no inbuilt way to await animations finishing

#

feel like you'd want to do that often

Hello everyone.

I'm making a card game and curious how would others go about solving the problem of having many different card effects. Right no I have an enum tag tied to each card effect and I have a large switch block to run the code that each effect should have. But it feels that there are more elegant solutions out there.

Thanks in advance

kind grove
#

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to search the inspector for a particular component? Or a way to sort components into categories in the inspector?

thin aurora
#

You can prefix the search with stuff that defines the type or category

#

This is what I mean

Hi I wanted to make a combat system where each move could have free moving animations (While disabling player input during that time)
The player has a main gameobject and a "body".
My attack animations includes the player's body moving forward a bit.
When a attack animation ends the main GameObject moves to the body, and the body's local position returns to Vector3.Zero.
^ this method, is called by a event at the end of the animation.
But Unity didn't want to cooperate, and the animation causes my character to do odd teleports, as the animation doesn't want to simply teleport the player back, and caused the player to: move one step, teleport one step ahead before returning to 1 step

#

Oddly, there's one animation that just teleports the player back (Which is kinda what I want), the other didn't, but idk why it happens, as it looks like the two animations has the exact same parameters set

main shuttle
pastel patio
#

Umm the issue is that I want the player to be able to do a attack that also moves it, for example, rolling to the front while slashing, spinning to the side or other similar things, but I don't know how to achieve that efficiently

main shuttle
pastel patio
#

Umm I think maybe I got what root motion means wrongly then? Thanks I'll look into it, hopefully it's what I need

pastel patio
main shuttle
#

(Not saying that's a good tutorial)

pastel patio
#

Apparently it is what I needed, thank you!

main shuttle
#

Put that in google with Unity after it, you'll get your answer

#

There are a bunch of ways

#

Why doesn't it work for you?

#

What did you code?

#

Because both of those will work.

#

You start a coroutine each frame?

#

Of course, you say SpawnPipe every update

#

Show a screenshot of how you set up your component in the inspector

#

Does it only spawn 7 pipes?

#

Or what happens?

#

You probably didn't save the script.

astral blaze
main shuttle
#

You do transform.root which will be all the enemies, then look downwards for an EnemyHealth, which will always be the first enemy

#

Just do TryGetComponent on the hit transform and use that.

swift falcon
#

I'm having trouble figuring out how I can rotate the player depending on their movement. I would like the player to tilt right when moving right and left when moving left. When player is not moving I want the player to point forward aka. no rotation on it. I tried to do transform.rotate(0, 0, rb.velocity.x * time.deltatime. Space.Self);

But that didn't do anything to the player

main shuttle
#

rb.velocity.x * time.deltatime is almost nothing, since deltatime with 300 fps is 1/300

astral blaze
main shuttle
#

If the velocity would actually be something, it would do something, but it still wouldn't make sense to be honest.

astral blaze
#

i dont think i have tried TryGetComponent before

main shuttle
#

Rotate takes degrees as a parameter.

#

Velocity isn't a degree value

main shuttle
#

But then with EnemyHealth

#

If it doesn't have it, skip it.

swift falcon
# main shuttle Velocity isn't a degree value

All I wanted the code to do was to rotate the player character left or right depending which way they moved, but my input is for the character to follow mouse position so there isn't straight x input.

main shuttle
#

You can just use that health parameter then.

main shuttle
swift falcon
astral blaze
#

hit.transform.TryGetComponent(out EnemyHealth health)?

main shuttle
astral blaze
#

isnt correct @main shuttle ?

main shuttle
swift falcon
astral blaze
swift falcon
main shuttle
swift falcon
astral blaze
swift falcon
#

like a certain amount how fast they go that way. So if the go quickly to left side of screen the ship would tilt faster

main shuttle
#

The health parameter is set correctly this way

main shuttle
swift falcon
#

I thought it would be as simple as putting in a vector3 and just putting the velocity as a float to z axis

#

can I post my movement code here?

main shuttle
swift falcon
#

line 26 handles rotation

main shuttle
#

Why do you Lerp this way?

#

You use the physics MovePosition anyway

swift falcon
#

whole mouse follow was copied somewhere

main shuttle
#

Yeah, stackoverflow probably. It always does Lerps like this. Well technically it would work somewhat.

astral blaze
main shuttle
astral blaze
#

if yes, TakeDamage function wont able call it

main shuttle
#

Also, don't use Rotate.

#

Just set the rotation

swift falcon
#

I'll see what it do

main shuttle
main shuttle
swift falcon
astral blaze
main shuttle
#

Quaternions are 4 values between 0 and 1

swift falcon
#

tfff

main shuttle
#

Use Quaternion.Euler instead

swift falcon
#

ah

main shuttle
#

No new needed for that afaik

main shuttle
swift falcon
astral blaze
main shuttle
#

I thought MovePosition would have a velocity to be honest, every day you learn something

main shuttle
swift falcon
#

Now to figure out how I can rotate it based on some other float value

main shuttle
astral blaze
#

well, how do i explain, its wont go through If function

swift falcon
#

everything in that sentence went over my head, I'ma take a break or smth idk

main shuttle
astral blaze
#

not sure what u mean

main shuttle
#

Does that gameobject, have a health script?

#

I would think not, because you made a rather janky implementation with the Sphere/Box/Capsule collider in the children to see which part you hit. I think the parent would have the script.

#

You can just use tags for that.

astral blaze
main shuttle
#

Exactly, so grab the hit.transform.parent

#

That would make it work probably, if the health script is the parent of the 3 colliders

#

But this is all error prone to program it this way

astral blaze
#

wdym grab?

main shuttle
#

You want to get the health component of the parent

#

But that only works if the parent is the Zombie with the HealthScript.

afbeelding.png
astral blaze
#

zombies or zombie with health Script?

#

wait should i add tags?

main shuttle
main shuttle
astral blaze
#

i dont think its work

main shuttle
astral blaze
#

its just gameObject

main shuttle
astral blaze
#

if inside, then its nothing, empty debug log msg

main shuttle
astral blaze
main shuttle
# astral blaze

So yeah, that wont work then. It's not transform.parent it's way further up there.

astral blaze
#

oh

#

i see

#

how do i make it further?

#

transform.parent.parent or something?

main shuttle
thick bough
#

It's not as bad as GetComponentInChildren since it's only 1 parent per transform. I might try to avoid it in Update, but if this function is called on demand and not by many objects it wouldn't be a big problem

dont know where to ask gui questions so ill ask here
how would i align a gui.button to the right side of the inspector?

Yeah fair enough. Instead of ~50 children he has ~7 parents in his zombie.

gaunt garden

#

I mean you could invoke an event in order to get the reference to the root parent

#

Not sure if that's the best way, but you could do it

gaunt garden
#

What event would that be? Ideally the references are established at authoring time

#

(Unless this zombie is created procedurally somehow)

woeful leaf
#

If he has access to the zombies right away, then wouldn't he just use a serializedfield?

gaunt garden
#

Yes, that's what I'm talking about

#

(authoring time)

woeful leaf
#

Well that is the optimal solution, but if he spawns them in later he can't do that

gaunt garden
#

Sure he can, if it's a prefab

woeful leaf
#

Ah, right

thick bough
#

From reading up, you can see the zombie and its colliders, which is instantiated at runtime. Then when you shoot it, the shooting script needs to access a script at the top of the hit collider hierarchy

gaunt garden
#

Yes, so establish the root parent when you author the zombie

#

Then each piece knows who the root parent is with the health script

woeful leaf
#

Isn't compound colliders a thing?

gaunt garden
#

I think you mean a composite collider?

#

I might be mixing it up though since I do so little 3D work

woeful leaf

#

Using transform.root is fraught

#

And transform.parent.parent is also bad

gaunt garden
#

I was going to say, reading further up, I'm confused why this is even the issue

#

If it's a raycast you already have the rigidbody

unreal temple
gaunt garden
#

Definitely not

unreal temple
#

I've been using unity since 2012 and I think I only recently worked this one out.

gaunt garden
#

The mono based collision event system is really a mess imo

main shuttle
#

But it's a raycast? Not a collision?

unreal temple
dense herald
#

This is probably a very easy question, but how do you use the number values when it comes to enums?

image.png
gaunt garden
#

I'm talking about raycast hits, collisions, etc

#

There's so much "utility" stuff going on that it's easy to miss something that you can use

unreal temple
woeful leaf
unreal temple
#

You can access the rigidbody from the collider

dense herald
main shuttle
unreal temple
#

For 2D

gaunt garden
unreal temple
gaunt garden
#

I know

main shuttle
#

Yeah, that's why I asked the question, I would have expected this from the collision system, not from raycasts

gaunt garden
#

I just find it weird that it's even part of the hit

#

I guess it's faster to get this way since the internal physics system probably touches it at some point in the query

#

So they might as well return it

#

(?)

unreal temple
#

The colliders presumably all know which rigidbody they are attached to so that forces can be applied on impact

main shuttle
#

Very cool, would have saved a bunch of time to have known that an hour ago 😅

I feel like doing so much DOTS stuff recently has made me forget 80% of the monobehaviour stuff 😅

shut ridge
#

how do i set a unity project's language version to "preview"

gaunt garden
#

You mean to C# 11?

shut ridge
#

so i can use generic attributes

gaunt garden
#

You can't

i want to pass a network dictionary

#

well

use a network dictionary

#

Unity is on C# 9 as of 2022.2

full scaffold
gaunt garden
#

Depends on a lot of factors

full scaffold
#

It's on the last chapter of the beginner unity course I think

#

ECS

gaunt garden
#

The stack itself is still in preview, and it's missing a lot of things that are now "staple" in the mono world

#

The performance difference is insane though

full scaffold
gaunt garden
#

In what way?

full scaffold
#

Is it like another way to make a game

gaunt garden
#

You could think of it that way

#

It's almost like a different engine

#

You can mix them, but it's not recommended

#

(but currently you do have to in a lot of cases, due to the missing things I mentioned)

full scaffold
#

Interesting

#

Would you say it's more difficult or the same

gaunt garden
#

Different

#

It's not object oriented code, so it will be a paradigm shift for a lot of people

#

Unless you have a project that has very tight performance requirements, I would wait until the stack is properly released

#

It's gotten a lot more usable in the last year though

#

e.g. much better editor integration with it's own hierarchy and inspectors, etc

full scaffold
#

wait wut

#

So is there still "programming" involved

gaunt garden
#

?

full scaffold
#

Theres still c# right

gaunt garden
#

Yes, it's C#

#

But you have to resort to more unsafe code in a lot of instances

#

And have a somewhat deeper understanding of the language

full scaffold
#

Interesting

#

I'll probably try it later

gaunt garden
#

It's definitely interesting if you want to learn something new, but like I said, it's basically almost a different engine

full scaffold
#

It probably might not be for me

#

I'm still at the beginning stages of mono anyway

gaunt garden
#

Like I said, I feel like it depends on what kind of project you want to make to a certain degree, at least with so many "core" features still missing

#

e.g. if you just want to make a simple 2D jump and run, I wouldn't bother with it

#

The main benefits of the stack is better hardware utilization, which isn't really needed for projects that have so little performance overhead

full scaffold
gaunt garden
#

It depends on the scope, number of actors, rendering requirements, etc

#

Here's a demo of a highly populated scene using the stack, but that demo is pretty old now

outer trellis
#

my project is 2D with URP, i noticed the line renderer does not follow the lighting conditions of the environment (always lit) even if i use a lit material. any suggestions?

#

nevermind i just had to use a 2D sprite lit material

how can i get the highScoreText working on another script and showing said text properly?
public void highScoreTXT() { if (playerScore > PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore")) { PlayerPrefs.SetInt("highScore", playerScore); } highScoreText.text = "Best Score: " +PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore"); {

main shuttle
#

Normally you get a full stacktrace here, so that's kind of weird you don't get any.

how can i add a package to the default packages created with a new project without using project template ? thanks in advance

everything works fine, but i want it to work on the other script as well

knotty sun
tawny jewel
#

i made a public static string and whatnot but i cant figure out what should i actually refer to for the very same highscoreText to show on another scrpt(in another scene)

knotty sun
#

that very statement shows a total lack of understanding of c#

tawny jewel
#

for example i cant really just type in logicmamangerscript.instance.highScoreText cause it isnt working

and when i click the build button it takes very little for the error to appear, its like its not even about the compilation of the scripts

Bottom right has a debug icon doesn't it? (not sure if that's still the case in the newer versions)

This is an editor bug, of which you can do nothing about.

plucky parrot
#

im gonna check the logs again

vagrant blade
#

Try a newer version of Unity and hope it's been fixed. What version are you on?

plucky parrot
#

i should check the editor.log right?

plucky parrot
#

but this version was working just fine

#

i dont know what i did to the point that it cant build the game

#

thats really weird

vagrant blade
#

Did you add some plugin or something?

plucky parrot
#

hmmmmmm

#

i dont remember adding anything

#

before it broke

main shuttle
#

Restarted?

plucky parrot
#

yes

#

i restarted the editor

#

i dont know if it is related but

#

for some reason my windows doesn't open cmd

#

i just cant open it

main shuttle
plucky parrot
#

yes i already did that i think

#

it doesnt let me open cmd 💀

#

maybe its just my system

main shuttle
#

Just restart the whole computer

plucky parrot
#

i will restart windwos

#

ye

#

im really scared tho, what if it is a virus 😭

main shuttle
#

You of course use version control, so you don't lose your project when it crashes or gets deleted

plucky parrot
#

im just going to restart, be right back

plucky parrot
#

#

its booting up

main shuttle
tawny jewel
#

welp the issue is actually probably really simple for someone even slightly advanced, with im not as you probably noticed. the code i sent is working code responsible for showing the players highscore at the end on the game, on gameover screen. but i also want my high score to show up on main menu scene, right after opening the game

#

therfore im trying to adress the right line of code to show the same text thats showing up at the end of the game, at the main menu

#

thats my whole issue basically

tawny jewel
main shuttle
#

Otherwise its always 0

tawny jewel
#

yes everything is saved and working fine, my high score shows properly at the end of the game saving the score

main shuttle
#

I'm so confused 🙂

#

As far as I can read it, everything works fine. Your playerprefs save. You can show your text. You can read it. You can save it.

tawny jewel
#

okay so i have a high score showing up when you loose the game, exactly the code is located in the game scene

#

i have a second scene however, main menu scene

#

i want my high score to show up there as well

#

thats all basically

main shuttle
#

highScoreText.text = "Best Score: " +PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore"); So like that?

thick socket
#

how should I pass in data here now that its a MonoBehavior and not just a "regular class with constructor"

# 
public class Offer : MonoBehaviour
{
    //All
    public VisualElement root;
    public OfferTypes offerTypes;
    public Button OfferButton;
    public Label OfferText;
    public VisualElement SpawnItemshere;
    public Label TimeLeft;
    public Label NumAvailable;
    public Label Price;

    //LO
    public Label ValueMultiplier;
    public Label InitialPrice;
//Need to delete constructor now that its Mono
    public Offer(OfferData data, VisualTreeAsset tree)
    {
        root = new();
        root = tree.Instantiate();
    }
//Start needs correcting
    private void Start()
    {
        root = new();
        root = tree.Instantiate();
    }
}
plucky parrot
#

you should not use constructors with monobehaviours

thick socket
#

right

#

thats my question 😄

plucky parrot
#

you cant

tawny jewel
plucky parrot
#

you get it from somewhere else

tawny jewel
#

but that line shows the highscore in the game scene propely

main shuttle
#

So highScore isn't saved then

tawny jewel
#

with is 0 indeed

#

if thats any helpful i can send my whole code

main shuttle
tawny jewel
#

ill paste in the hastebin link maybe

#

alright give me a second

main shuttle
#

But do you Save?

tawny jewel
#

so here is the logic manager script located inside my game scene, including the add score and high score script among some other game logic stuffhttps://hastebin.com/diloseyute.csharp
and here is the script i have in my menu scene

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class bestScore : MonoBehaviour
{
    public string Score;

    void Start()
    {
        Score = logicmanagerscript.instance.highScoreText.text;

# thick socket thats my question 😄

Depending on the data you want to init either you set the inital data statically in your Start method, or as a parameter in the MonoBehviour. There are many ways to provide a monobehaviour with data it all depends on your usecase

thick socket
main shuttle
tawny jewel
main shuttle
tawny jewel
#

well that is the part i have problems with so i actually dont know what should i put in there for it to work

main shuttle
#

PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore"); ?

#

With a .ToString() probably, since score is suddenly a string in bestScore

# 
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class bestScore : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int Score;

    void Start()
    {
        Score = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("highScore");
        Debug.Log(Score);
    }
}
#

That should work in your menu screen, and print the score to your console.

tawny jewel
#

ill try to fix that real quick
