main shuttle
#

Usually double clicking the error goes to the line that threw it

mellow sigil
#

Which line is 47

thick socket
# 
tmpOffer.Initialize(item, item2.tree, tmpType);```
mellow sigil
#

then either tmpOffer or item2

main shuttle
#

Then it must be tmpOffer or item2

thick socket
#

thanks, how did you know it wasn't item or tmpType?

mellow sigil
#

Debug.Log($"tmpOffer is null? {tmpOffer == null}");

#

and the same to item2

thick socket
#

thanks Nitku, I'll give it a shot πŸ™‚

#

You can not get a NullReferenceException from anything that doesn't use a .
You are asking something of a value that doesn't exist

mellow sigil
#

It's not illegal to pass null values to that method

thick socket
#

hmm

#

so how is tmpOffer null

#

I have var tmpOffer = new Offer();

mellow sigil
#

Is it? Did you verify?

thick socket
#

ah crap

#

its a monobehavior

i have integrated google play games SDK in my game for login , but even if someone don't have google play games it runs fine just the login fails
is there a way to block the users that don't have google play games

#

Maybe item2.tree is null?

thick socket
#

Im checking that also, said its not

#

I can send my Offer script as its not that long

mellow sigil
#

It throws in OfferIcon.cs

placid summit
#

use a debugger, step through until you find a null

thorny rock
#

Have a good read on the error OfferIcon.cs:40

thick socket
#

skipping that for now as it works if I comment it out πŸ™‚

# 
//offer.starttime is just DateTime.Now a few lines up also
var timeLeft = DateTime.Now - offer.startTime
timeLeft.ToString("mm:ss")
// same error if I do "mm:ss tt"
#

why can't I do it like this?

#

throwing errors at my formatting and Im not sure why

#

tried to follow the dateTime in specific format section

mellow sigil
#

Because timeLeft is a TimeSpan, not DateTime

#

this is why using var is a bad idea

hollow grove
#

To add to that, just a nit pick, use DateTime.Now.Subtract(offer.startTime)

hello i need help , no matter what value i put in inventoryGun.Recoildir valuen , a int form 0 to 180 degrees , it seems to only put only a 45Β° (PI/4) result , can somebody help me please i've been here for 2 H

I just want to print the Days/hours or hours/min or min/sec left depending

graceful patio
#

where do i report unity bugs

#

Im having a problem with unity's AST

#

and how it Parses equations

pearl radish
#

Lets be honest, it's not a bug is it?

graceful patio
#

my problem is this

(-1.02 - 11)*100 = -1202. which it does
but in unity decreases it. Idk why πŸ’€

#

wait

pearl radish
#

What does "In unity decreases it" mean?

thick socket
#

πŸ€”

graceful patio
#

I think i solved my problem

thick socket
#

what was the issue?

hollow grove
# thick socket I just want to print the Days/hours or hours/min or min/sec left depending

This is a manual way to format a timespan, it will return a string formatted to display the days/hours/minutes if there are any, so you could have:

1d 5h 2m
or
2h 30m

private static string ParseTimespan (this Timespan span)
{
  return $"{(span.Days > 0 ? $"{span.Days:00}d " : string.Empty)}{(span.Hours > 0 ? $"{span.Hours:00}h " : string.Empty)}{(span.Minutes > 0 ? $"{span.Minutes:00}m " : string.Empty)}";
}
#

It's not beautiful but formatting a timespan never is

For some reason

<@&502884371011731486>

negatives decreases

#

I rote this same algo on java

#

and IT doesnt decrease

hollow grove
thick socket
#

ah gotcha πŸ™‚

hollow grove
#

It formats the value to 2 digits, so if you did :00.0 you would have 12.1 for instance

graceful patio
#

Though- so a unity issue πŸ’€

#

bc it works on java

#

and doesnt decrease on java

Bearing in mind Unity isn't giving you one, this is a C# thing

graceful patio
pearl radish
#

Which number is it there's a few

graceful patio
#

the number to focus on is the y axis

#

It takes the max

pearl radish
#

Lets see the code

graceful patio
#

and then adds anything smaller than the max += 0.99

```csharp

pearl radish
#

So where am I supposed to be looking for this equation

graceful patio
#

calc grid loc

#

loc short for location πŸ’€

#

Thats the problem

pearl radish
#

Yes if you could be less specific

leaden ice
#

you are never going to get perfect accuracy with it

mellow sigil
#

As far as I can tell they're getting -1.6 and -0.6 but expect to get 1160

#

so it's not an accuracy issue

#

but still unclear what part of the code is supposed to do that

leaden ice
#

or any ASTs or equation parsing

#

nor did they invent floating point numbers

graceful patio
#

I heard it takes C# and transpiles to C++

leaden ice
#

Unity uses the standard C# compiler

#

and yes that output gets transpiled

#

but this is definitely not an issue with that

#

it's an issue with your understanding of floating point numbers

mellow sigil
#

If Unity had a bug in doing basic arithmetic I'm pretty sure someone of the millions of its users would have noticed by now

graceful patio
#

figured i would run into this issue. but one thing that confuses me

#

why didnt i get that in java

leaden ice
#

forgive me because i'm jumping in late here

#

but have you shown the code in question

#

more likely than "not getting the issue in java" is that there's a different in output formatting

graceful patio
leaden ice
#

and what is it supposed to do

graceful patio
# 
// double[] yCoords = {10.98,9.98,8.98,8.98};
//        double[] xCoords = {9,9,9,8};
        double[] yCoords = {-0.6,-0.6,-0.6,-1.6};
//        double[] yCoords = {0,-1.01,-0.01,-0.01};
        double[] xCoords = {9,9,9,8};
        double yCoordsMax = -0.6;
        int[][] grid = new int[1901][11];
        for(int i = 0; i < yCoords.length;i++) {
            xCoords[i] = 11- xCoords[i] ;
            if (yCoords[i] < yCoordsMax) {
                while (true) {

                    double b = (yCoordsMax - yCoords[i]);
                    if (b < 0.99) {
                        break;
                    }
                    yCoords[i] += 0.99;
                }
                double calc1 = (11 - yCoords[i])*100;
//                yCoords[i] = calc1;
                int calc2 = (int) calc1;
                yCoords[i] = calc2;
            } else {
                double calc1 =  (11 - yCoords[i])*100;
                int calc2 = (int) calc1;
                yCoords[i] = calc2;
//            int calc = (int)calc1;
            }
        }
        for(int i = 0; i < yCoords.length;i++){
            System.out.println(yCoords[i]);
        }

//        }
        for(int r = 0; r < grid.length;r++){
            for(int c = 0; c < grid[r].length;c++){
                grid[r][c] = 0;
//                System.out.print(grid[r][c] + ",");
            }
//            System.out.println("\n");
        }```
here is the java version of it
leaden ice
#

well one problem is you're using different magic numbers

graceful patio
#

whats magic numbers?

leaden ice
#

0.99f in C# is not the same as 0.99 in java

#

you should use 0.99 in both places

#

it's a double

graceful patio
#

so switch to doubles in unity?

leaden ice
#

if you want to write the "same exact code" use the same datatypes yes

leaden solstice
#

You will still not get perfect accuracy

leaden ice
#

no but you should get the same arithmetic results that java is getting at least

#

for the most part

#

at least on the same hardware

leaden solstice
#

They would both follow IEEE so yeah

leaden ice
#

it's really weird to me what that whole 0.99 thing is doing though

graceful patio
#

i didnt know that was a possible bug ngl

leaden ice
#

there's just a lot of magic numbers here

#

that make this very confusing

mellow sigil
#

well what immediately jumps out is that you have float x = (int)11 + arrayOfX[i]; in Unity and xCoords[i] = 11- xCoords[i] ; in Java

leaden ice
#

int[1901][11]; ?
+= 0.99
(11 - yCoords[i])*100

#

yeah there's a bunch of differences

#

I would recommend that you actually just copy and paste this java code

#

the syntax is perfectly correct C#

#

except for the System.out.println

#

and except for this array declaration: new int[1901][11];

mellow sigil
#

Again, if the result is -0.6 in one and 1160 in the other it's just a mistake in the algorithm, not rounding errors

graceful patio
#

The values arent being stored in grid

#

the values are x and y values

#

what I want is to convert thems so I can use them as 2D array locations

#

why i need todo this way

leaden ice
#

Sorry not following

graceful patio
#

bc it incriments at 0.01 a frame and if I multiply by 100 it would make each coordinate 100 a part

leaden ice
#

nope

#

0.01 is not an actual number you can write in binary (with a finite number of digits)

#

you will never get 0.01 * 100 == 1

#

your approach is kinda fundamentally flawed there

graceful patio
#

but it works with java

#

and the problem still exists even if i change it to a double

leaden ice
#

i never said changing to double with fix it

#

you fundamentally can't do it with floating point numbers

graceful patio
#

i cant do it with out floating point numbers either

leaden ice
#

it doesn't work in Java either

graceful patio
#

but it gives the out put i want

leaden ice
#

I just did this in Java:

      float f = 0f;
      for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
          f += 0.01f;
      }```
#

you know what the result is?

#

f = 0.99999934

leaden ice
graceful patio
#

how would i round it properly

leaden ice
#

i don't know because I really don't understand what your code is supposed to be doing

thick socket
# 
var tmpDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2);
tmpDate.AddHours(5);
#

this should be today + 2 Days and 5 hours right?

plain yacht
#

@thick socket yes, but you can also chain it like: .AddDays(2).AddHours(5);

Also consider using UtcNow

thick socket
knotty sun
thick socket
#

Its printing out 1 day 23h and not 2D 5h like expected (or technically 2D 4h since it will instantly increment down)

# 
var tmpDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(2);
tmpDate.AddHours(5);
TimeSpan timeLeft = tmpDate.Subtract(DateTime.Now);
        string tmptime;
        if (timeLeft.Days < 1)
        {
            if (timeLeft.Hours < 1)
            {
                //mm ss
                tmptime = timeLeft.Minutes.ToString() + "m " + timeLeft.Seconds.ToString() + "s left";
            }
            else
            {
                //offerItem.SetTime(timeLeft.ToString("hh:mm tt"));
                tmptime = timeLeft.Hours.ToString() + "h " + timeLeft.Minutes.ToString() + "m left";

            }
        }
        else
        {
            //offerItem.SetTime(timeLeft.ToString("dd:hh tt"));
            tmptime = timeLeft.Days.ToString() + "d " + timeLeft.Hours.ToString() + "h left";

        }
        TimeLeft.text = tmptime;```

new Area[4] just creates an array that can hold 4 items

yes okay because I just had a little trip to cpp and there the classes get created instantly when you innitialize them in a list, and now I saw this, so it s just my compiler accepting it and it actually won t work

thats the original problem

graceful patio
# leaden ice i don't understand how the numbers in the two pictures relate tbh

there the same algo written in 2 different languages
one in C#
one in java
the on in unity is decreasing when it reaches negatives. (the thing you are supposed to look at is the y coord)
the output in java and unity are different even though they shouldnt be.
java gives the value i want. Unity doesnt give the value i want

#

which means its most likely a compiler bug-

#

which is debatable

I can't seem to figure out what I did wrong here lol

prime sinew
thick socket

when I do it the chain way you put

#

it works correctly

#

when I put it as

var tmpDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(timeOffer);
tmpDate.AddHours(4);

it doesn't

plain yacht
#

Or just pass size into constructor: children[i] = new Area(size);

Or use property:
children[i] = new Area{ Size = size};

aka Chain puts 1d 3h as expected, the .addDays then .AddHours puts 23h

no clue why its an issue tho

Hi.
Is it possible to rotate the character controller on the side? When I rotate my character the collider of the cc stays vertical.

vagrant blade
#

Nope

#

Can you, for the CC?

potent sleet
#

nah

#

just realized it was cc

shadow flower
#

cc kinda sucks right ?

vagrant blade
#

If you say so.

potent sleet
#

depends what ur doing..

#

you can always use a capsule collider and rigidbody

shadow flower
#

yea I think i will be switching to that though i have to deal with physics then D:
I want my character to align with the ground so it can walk up walls and such.

vagrant blade
#

You can still do that with rigidbodies and forces

#

how would i detect when a scrollrect is able to begin scrolling? in my example specifically im doing the vertical layout group + content size fitter combo to make it scalable, but i want to know exactly when i can begin scrolling up/down

#

the only thing i can think of is that i could detect when the scrollbar is visible (since thats when scrolling actually moves the rect and keeps its pos rather than snapping back to its default pos), but it requires me to force update the canvas if i just update the layout elements

right because the .cs doesn't show up in unity so don't include that

the picture of the file is how it looks in unity not your file explorer

so it doesent matter if there is a .cs right

Good day, I have a strange problem that has happened to me while trying to use unityeditor to edit scriptableObjects, the following codes are the ones that I believe are the ones relevant to the problem.

Sooo, what is the problem? well, it simply does not save the changes i make on the scriptable object, it works properly, I can edit the way I want, choose the attributes of the skill, but once I close the game or click play, the scriptable objects reset with the main value and the abilitytype reseting as well, anyone knows what it could be?

yes. having a configured IDE is a requirement to receive help here. it will also make your life a lot easier when developing with unity. if you have followed all of the steps in the guide then regenerate project files in unity and restart visual studio
the option to regenerate project files is in the same place you changed a setting in unity when following the guide

Has anybody used a 2D tile map in a 3D game before? If so, how did you handle getting a tile map collider? The unity component for it does not allow you to rotate it to a different plane despite being able to put the tile map in whatever plane you’d like

#

Seems like an oversight with unity?

Hey so why is the vertex buffer stride of a mesh 40, if the mesh itself has this:
or why is the VertexAttributeOffset for UV0 when qued from the CPU 0?

soft shard

#

pretty much doing option 1

#

rather than grabbing the bounds im just checking if the height of the container is greater than the viewport

#

although i discovered with option 2 there is an issue where if the container is smaller than the viewport, verticalNormalizedPosition would return 0 or 1 based on what direction you scrolled last

soft shard
worn crystal
#

yeah height comparison is better imo, but i dont want to force update the canvas so doing something like this for now:

#

i just cached the height of the prefab im instantiating as an offset of its current height

#

(although now i have the issue of the height returning 0 for whatever lol, maybe because im doing it in awake?)

#

_messageCellHeight = ((RectTransform)_prefab.transform).rect.height;
so this is just returning 0, was hoping grabbing the size of the prefab beforehand would work

#

but im assuming it needs to be actually instantiated and a canvas update needs to happen before i can actually fetch the height?

soft shard
# worn crystal but im assuming it needs to be actually instantiated and a canvas update needs t...

If the prefab has a height already it should be able to return that (even if it may be the wrong height after instantiation), you could maybe try sizeDelta and see if it returns any useful values, if not you could try waiting a frame after instantiation (giving the Canvas time to update itself, which should happen anytime theres a change to its hierarchy or child elements) and see if the value changes then

worn crystal
#

i think the other issue is probably that the object im instantiating has a content size fitter

#

might not be initialized the moment i instantiate it, so in any case i should try a canvas update and see if that at least assigns it a proper value

soft shard
worn crystal
#

hm, ill have to play around with this and see what i can do

#

i dont like the idea of force updating the canvas so ill see if i can cache the height at the least

soft shard

GL, working with Canvas can get... Frustrating for sure lol

worn crystal
#

def lol, thanks

full furnace
worn crystal
#

@soft shard found a better solution actually, since i only want to fetch the height when i want to update the elements in the container i can just use the layout rebuilder so i dont have to force update all of the canvases, instead only the affected recctransform like so:
LayoutRebuilder.ForceRebuildLayoutImmediate(_listContainer);

#

now the container reflects the most up to date height when i want to grab it too

However, whenever I hit play and the car touches the mesh collider or a box collider, it goes absolutely crazy and I cant figure out why.
heres the code:

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class CarController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public WheelCollider[] wheels = new WheelCollider[4];
    public float torque = 200;
    private void Start()
    {
        
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < wheels.Length; i++)
                wheels[i].motorTorque = torque; ;
        } else
        {
            for (int i = 0; i < wheels.Length; i++)

First you need to make sure Visual Studio is configured

I am in a bit of a pickle and curious if a solution I am pursing is a bad idea that might have adverse effects down the line. The TLDR is that I have a regular c# class that in its constructor would create a gameobject and attach components to it the full works which I basically use as a wrapper so I can still have a constructor on it. Given that a regular monobehaviour derived class can not have a constructor and I assume that is for a good reason I am curious if that would bite me in the bum down the line.

Go back to Unity, and from the toolbar menu select Edit > Preferences > External Tools.
Make sure your VS is closed while doing this.
Confirm that you have VS22 set as the External Editor at the top of the page.

I have a player that i want to be able to walk towards an object and interact with it. i have a collider on my player on as a childgameobject of the player that has a collider2d that should just be used as a trigger so i turned "is trigger " on.
the object i want to interact with is just a 2d object that i created using 2dobjects -> sprites -> triangle
i have a script on my player that i use as an interactor. To figure out with what object i want to interact is have an OnTriggerEnter2D and OnTriggerExit2D function that should work just fine.
to actually interact i have to be in range and press E, but i cannot actually do aynthing because the console just tells me
"Script error: OnTriggerExit2D
This message parameter has to be of type: Collider2D
The message will be ignored."
I Will include my 2 scripts and one interface

  1. us the interactor
  2. is the interface IInteractable
  3. is TestInteractable, the script that i add to the triangle to just get an interaction when pressing E and i also already changed the namespace from the Last file to be Max.Scripts.Interactables

    any help would be appreciated ^^
simple egret
spring lava
#

ah thats what it meant, i thought it wasnt properly getting the actual collider in, thank you, also got to do that at exit aswell

simple egret
#

Unity should make analyzers for that, where it reports a warning if the signature is wrong

#

Maybe it's already the case, haven't checked in some time

spring lava
#

never saw that tbh. i always have spelling mistakes, most common for me is typing start instead of Start and then having to check for 30 minutes to see whats wrong

simple egret
#

Just for testing, can you switch it back to Collider and see if three gray dots appear at the beginning of the line / method name?

#

They're not very visible, but that would indicate an analyzer reporting something

spring lava
#

those 3 dots just tell me its not being used

simple egret
#

Ah well, I guess the runtime error message will have to do the work then, thanks for testing it out

#

Ah, the method name turns blue if the signature is correct, that would be an indicator

spring lava
#

thats right, but i just assumed it was yellow because the collider wasnt being recognized. i mean it wasnt being recognized, but signature makes more sense

#

One more thing, if i am not mistaken, a trigger collider should make it so that my trigger collider is not really physical anymore, so it wont make me stop if i touch something with it, but it should rather trigger an event, that event being my ontriggerenter
its just that right now it is acting as a normal collider which is weird

woeful leaf
spring lava
#

yeah, now its blue since we corrected the signature, making it function

full furnace
#

Does anybody now what to do against lagging android when i connect my game with unity on it? Is there a setting?

simple egret
#

You can't do anything, it's because of all the data getting transferred between the computer and the phone

#

Rest assured that once built into a standalone executable, it will be 100 times more performant

#

It's just the program that links Unity and your phone has to do a lot of stuff to keep the comms running

spring lava
#

spr u were a wonderful help, but by any chance am i mistaking the is trigger setting on the collider2d to be something different?
shouldnt that just make it so it just detects wether or not it touches or overlaps with another collider, but doesnt actually collide, in a sense that it stops me from moving?

#

because the internet tells me so, but my programm just wont act like it

somber nacelle
#

yes, but you use OnTriggerEnter2D instead of OnCollisionEnter2D for trigger colliders

#

keep in mind you do still need a rigidbody2d involved in the collision

spring lava
#

I have a rigidbody on my player, and a collider that is set to be a trigger, but shouldnt actually stop my moving but let me pass through the other collider, since my player collider is set to be a trigger.
and my triangle also has a box collider2d, so that should be it right?

somber nacelle
spring lava
#

my player has actually 2 collider
1 for the feet that should truly collider
the second one for the overlapping

#

https://hatebin.com/prcwlzqzcc
my function should all work fine, i changed this code from my past code since i want to be in range first, and if i am in range i check that by my collider triggering
so when i am in range and i click my mouse on the collider of the other object i turn a bool to be true and if that bool is true i will interact, what it does when it interacts will not be decided by interactor but rather by the object itself
i still got the problem that my triggercollider acts as a real collider, that stops me from moving, i do not see a flaw in my code tbh and am curious on why i cant move towards the object and right beside it, but rather stop at the edge of my collider, that is set to be a trigger
its rather strange to me

somber nacelle

Ok thanks for feedback, will try

the OnMouseDown part i didnt know, so that means if i wanted to use OnMouseDown it would have to be on the to be clicked object rather than the player clicking right?, so if OnMouseDown is on the player and my player has a collider2d it would simply jsut check for if the player is being clicked right?
What i dont quite get is the old input manager part, what exactly do you mean?

TryGetComponent reduces the clutter/repeated code you have, it combines both the attempt at getting the component and the null check into one call.
As for OnMouseDown, yes if this script is attached to the player then you would have to click the player for it to be called
the input manager is how you get input using the Input class in unity like Input.GetKey and the like as opposed to the new input system which OnMouseDown does not work with. Either way, i would strongly recommend looking into using IPointer events from the event system since that works with both the new input system and the old input manager

thanks for the recommendation with IPointer, just added it throughout my whole project. I still have the issue with my player, that the Trigger Collider is stopping me from moving, rather than passing through the other collider and overlapping, as i intended it to do.

ahh, i think you are on it. you are quite right. I set my MoveCollider up the way so it detects any collision and stops me at that immediately. i thought it would ignore the trigger though
https://hatebin.com/kyihvjqdrc

#

i tried to keep MoveCollide pretty general since i am reusing it for my sheep

somber nacelle
#

so you're using Rigidbody2D.Cast which is the culprit. any collider that is attached to the object the rigidbody is on or its children are all considered a single collider by the rigidbody

spring lava
#

right that makes sense.
is there a way so i can just use one specific collider that is attached to the rigidbody?

somber nacelle
#

you could try using the Cast method on the collider itself instead of the rb

spring lava
#

will try that

#

so in start i would get my component BoxCollider2D and just Cast it that way right?

i set it up as just a general collider, so other mobs that might be round can use the same script and might also be able to interact with stuff and such. Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying to make an open world game, I'm thinking about getting around floating point precision limitations by moving all objects in the scene back to the origin, but wouldn't that be super expensive? Any explanations or alternative solutions would be much appreciated.

if i had a question about collision detection in unity, would this be the appropriate channel?

ive implemented some nice player movement using the Transform.position thing, and so i now need to do some form of collision detection. I intend to have a box that represents the player that we move to where we will end up in the next frame with our current velocity, and check if this box intersects anything. If it does, then I need the normal and depth of collision to be able to take the maximum step forward without going inside the object, and to remove the component of the players velocity in the direction of the normal. Id need to be able to move the box's position and get the normal/depth info within the same frame. What would be the best way to do this?

leaden solstice
worthy galleon
#

bless your soul that looks very promising

#

all the info i could find was related to Bounds.intersects AABB stuff which doesnt provide normals or depth, or the weird OnCollisionEnter which doesnt really suffice in my case

#

i will mess with BoxCast and see if I can get it working

#

Your setup sounds like what CharacterController does so maybe see how it is too

#

hello

#

how can i solve this problem?

autumn cipher
worthy galleon
#

Bounded Volume Hierarchies, Binary Space Partitioning, Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi algorithm and the Extruded Polytrope Algorithm

#

GJK + EPA are a way of detecting collisions and EPA actually gets Normal/Collision depth information

#

BSP is a way of dividing up space to make figuring out what things to check collisions against not take an enormous amount of time

#

BVH is that but less insane

autumn cipher
#

I was always indecisive on how I should handle collision on controllers

#

whether I should go with rigibody's collision callbacks or just capsulecast my way out

#

ended up using Character Controller :')

If I want to move children to a specified location of a parent object can I just use parent.getchild(0).position = new Vector3()? I am attempting to do that and so far it just literally does nothing nothing. No error or movement or anything. It's very frustrating.

leaden solstice
#

But why do you need to move children with GetChild

glossy barn
#

I don't have to do it that way I just need two children to be in the same spot and that's the first way I though to do it

#

Also they are generated so I can't drag them in though the inspector

leaden solstice
#

Same spot as in parent position?

glossy barn
#

The same local position

#

I can put in screen shots if that's confusing

leaden solstice
#

Sure

glossy barn
#

O1 and O2 are different objects that are children of the same parent (which is an empty) The whole object is attached to the big red dot which I want to put in the same location on the parent to combine the two separate objects.

image.png
#

You still there @leaden solstice?

leaden solstice
glossy barn
#

Yup

#

It moves just fine when I drag it around

leaden solstice
#

Are you setting both object's localPosition?

glossy barn
#

I hope this is easy to follow. I tried setting local position and just regular position and I tried changing the position with a reference to the letter script which saves a reference to the shape transform.

image.png
leaden solstice
#

You said there is two objects you want to overlap, what would be the other one

glossy barn
#

These are letter 1 and letter 2 as in like L1 and L2

leaden solstice
#

You should.. take full screenshot including your hierarchy and inspector and etc

#

The code is very confusing, you should add some explicit references with meaningful naming

glossy barn
#

It's meaningful for the project lol

swift falcon
#

lionel messi

glossy barn
swift falcon
glossy barn
#

⚽

leaden solstice
#

L3.GetChild(0).GetChild(0) is not meaningful, neither L3 alone...
At least assign to some local variables for readability

glossy barn
#

I see so instead of having to write that every time just make a variable and use that instead that I can do

swift falcon
glossy barn
#

I'm trying to set something up to showcase the problem in a more readable way

worthy galleon
quartz folio
worthy galleon
#

i got it to detect collisions (nice), give me depth and normal information (sweet) and do the right things with this info (BEAST)

#

however

#

it only collides for like a frame

#

if i hold w i collide but then continue into the object

#

im guessing id need some delta so you dont collide and get put Directly against the object

leaden solstice
#

With skinWidth

worthy galleon
#

ok adding a delta doesnt work

#

hm

leaden solstice
#

So you won't start casting from overlapping position

#

Having some safe distance from contacting point

worthy galleon
#

mhm

#

rn seems like you collide, and then it immediately doesnt see you as colliding again so it lets you pass through object

leaden solstice
#

If you start casting from overlapping position it may not detect collision well

#

CapsuleCast might be better, as it has fixed radius XZ wise

glossy barn
#

I fixed it lol

#

for SOME REASON unity doesn't like it when you try to parent.getChild().getChild.do something lol

#

Can't imagine why that would cause problems

swift falcon
#

I am slightly confused. I was looking for Unity's equivalent to the Monogame asset pipeline in that it lets me load assets at runtime and found resources.load but the documentation explicitly says to not use it? Which is weird given that it is not marked as deprecated?

Pretty much everything in our game is dynamically composed at runtime so the whole Editor workflow of dragging references in the editor is a hard no. What else is one supposed to use?

glossy barn
#

You can instantiate prefabs

#

Is that what you are looking for?

#

Like generating a prop, or an enemy, or something that you made ahead of time using code?

swift falcon
#

Prefabs do not work for our use case.

#

Our whole scene tree is dynamically composed at runtime.

glossy barn
#

Damn You need to be in advanced homie

swift falcon
#

Huh? I basically just want to be able to assign a sprite to something at runtime without having to use the resources folder, or dragging graphics references. I did not deem that advanced.

#

That is what it boils down to.

glossy barn
#

What makes it hard is not using the resource folder

swift falcon
#

We could of course cache everything in a singelton but that feels very hacky.

glossy barn
#

Perhaps someone with more experience can help but this is not unity 101

swift falcon
#

I mean we had planned to do that but when unitys own documentation strictly advises not to its hard sell.

glossy barn
#

So you want to assign a sprite at runtime without having the sprite in your asset folder?

swift falcon
#

It can be in the assets folder, just not the whole resources.load spiel aka the resources folder

#

and we need to be basically assign those sprites in code.

#

One hacky way of doing it we tried is literally just caching all the sprites but that seems wasteful.

#

Since literally every sprite would have to be in memory for the whole runtime.

#

Which more or less is just a hackier way of using resources.load

glossy barn
glossy barn
swift falcon
#

Because gameobjects are composed at runtime as well and they are not static. They all derive from one common class.

glossy barn
#

Can you say that again with more context I'm still confused

#

Also from what I can see unity doesn't say not to use resources.load where did you see that?

swift falcon
#

We found this https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/assets-resources-and-assetbundles#5c7f8528edbc2a002053b5a6

Unity Learn
Assets, Resources and AssetBundles - Unity Learn

This is a series of articles that provides an in-depth discussion of Assets and resource management in the Unity engine. It seeks to provide expert developers with deep, source-level knowledge of Unity's Asset and serialization systems. PLEASE NOTE: this tutorial has now been deprecated. We now recommend using Addressables for your projects and ...

#

Does not get more clear then that

glossy barn
#

Ahhh I see well that tutorial is depreciated

pearl radish
#

First page tells you to go and use something else and links it

swift falcon
#

The link we found literally was to that "sub part" but I agree we should have looked a bit more clearly.

glossy barn
#

I think resources.load will work now the 2021.3 doesn't have any warnings

tawny jewel
#

quick question how can i change my rigidbody2d to trigger and then back to collider via script

swift falcon
#

Thats why I came to ask given that I assumed if a best practice is not to use it would be flagged as depreciated.

quartz folio
#

It has never not worked, it's just more advisable to use Addressables

#

It's fine to use for small assets that are generally always loaded

glossy barn
#

If you want to cheat the system you could have a sprite at the origin and set it to be invisible and then assign it with a reference

swift falcon
#

Can I use addressables to do what we need? Aka set sprites of gameobjects in code at runtime?

glossy barn

To give a bit of a scope. We have about 9000 sprites for terrain alone, all of them are only 24x24 pixels in size but its still unnecessary to keep them all in memory at all times.

alright thanks

#

I think it can be anything unless I am mistaken but commonly tilemaps

swift falcon
#

Sorry if my questions are foolish still not familiar with Unity.

glossy barn
#

Oh no worries no one really is it's a very complicated program with lots of little cogs that make the whole machine

#

Most people will never use 90% of it

swift falcon
#

I am among those I have used unity a bit before but we mostly ended up using it just as a render backend

glossy barn
#

Lol same

#

I always want to do very specific things and struggle to find a tutorial that matches what I want to do

swift falcon
#

That is sadly an issue for pretty much all engines or API's. You find a ton of beginner stuff (that is never scalable to any meaningful level of production. Or you find expert material but the mid range is always a very dry and long winded affair.

#

And Unity thanks to its popularity is still ahead on that matter, other engines or api's are far worse in that specific regard.

glossy barn
#

Yeah I keep like, quitting unity because the scale is so massive and I'm so tired of beginner stuff but the custom stuff is so hard lol

#

I wanted to make a minecraft clone but where you can delete the corners of the cubes to make different shapes and I like wanted to die

swift falcon
#

I never touched its 3d side, not my terrain (pun intended)

#

I am firmly at home in 2d

glossy barn
#

2d is sutch comfort

#

stupid 3d vector math is so dumb

#

one more question, how can i switch the collider.isTrigger value from here? im kind of stuck

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Powerups/SpeedBuff")]
public class SpeedBuff : Powerup
{

    public float amount;
    public override void Apply(GameObject target)
    {
        Debug.Log("added effect");
        target.GetComponent<BirdScript>().myRigidbody
    }
}```
junior pasture
#

when i code in visual studio it does not grab anything from unity when i make a script so things like rigid body and game.Object dont work because they dont exist without unity how do i fix this

glossy barn
swift falcon
#

If you have intellisense and it borks it helps if you go into Assets/Open C# Project

#

We sometimes have do that and it "sticks" until you reboot your machine at the least

glossy barn
warm wren

tawny jewel
glossy barn
#

I think birdscript is a script right?

tawny jewel
#

well yes it is

glossy barn
#

You need a direct reference to the collider

glossy barn
#

I'ts been a hot min

warm wren
tawny jewel
glossy barn
#

so its gunna be like (Transform that has collider).getThingy.istrigger = false/true

warm wren
#

Get a reference to the collider component, name it something and do something.isTrigger = true;

junior pasture

#

thanks again!

why does it say that coroutine does not exist

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

    public float lifetime;

        {

            Debug.Log("ability disabled");
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(lifetime);
            Debug.Log("ability enabled");
            target.GetComponent<BirdScript>().circlecollider.isTrigger = false;

    }

somber nacelle
#

it's still inside of the Apply method

tawny jewel
#

thats the code, i would show the error but its in polish

#

unless i change the language real quick

somber nacelle
#

and you should be getting an error for that abilityLifeTime method since that is also nested in the Apply method so it cannot be public

#

make sure your IDE is configured using the guide in #854851968446365696 so that it will underline errors like that

tawny jewel
#

i fixed some of that, or at least i tried to

# 
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

[CreateAssetMenu(menuName = "Powerups/SpeedBuff")]
public class SpeedBuff : Powerup
{

    public float amount;
    public float lifetime;

        Debug.Log("added effect");
        abilityLifeTime();
    }
    public void abilityLifeTime()
    {
        startcoroutine
    }
    IEnumerator time()
    {
    target.GetComponent<BirdScript>().circlecollider.isTrigger = true;
    Debug.Log("ability enabled");
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(lifetime);
    Debug.Log("ability disabled");
    target.GetComponent<BirdScript>().circlecollider.isTrigger = false;
    }

    
}
#

no longer shows the error on public method, but now it doesnt recognize target

somber nacelle
#

you need to fix that unfinished StartCoroutine call

#

and also pass target to the coroutine or assign it as a field in the class

tawny jewel
somber nacelle
#

well yes, you need to actually spell it correctly

#

also the abilityLifeTime method is pretty much pointless at the moment unless you plan to add more code to it, right now you could just skip that and start the coroutine directly from within the Apply method so that you don't have to pass the target variable to abilityLifeTime only to then pass it to the coroutine

tawny jewel

"it shows up as error" is not descriptive. what "shows up as error" and what is the error?

#

thats how it looks for now

quartz folio
#

Only MonoBehaviours can start coroutines. You would have to start the coroutine on the MonoBehaviour you want to own it

tawny jewel
somber nacelle
#

well you could always just start the coroutine using one of the components on the target

#

you also still need to pass the GameObject target as a parameter for the coroutine

quartz folio
#

You can pass in a MonoBehaviour and call StartCoutine on that variable

tawny jewel
somber nacelle
#

although i would personally make the parameter a BirdScript and get the component in Apply and pass the component to the coroutine

#

that would allow you to use the BirdScript component to start the coroutine as well

tawny jewel
somber nacelle
#

no

#

StartCoroutine is a public method inherited from MonoBehaviour, you can just get the component and use that reference to call StartCoroutine

# 
var birdScript = target.GetComponent<BirdScript>();
birdScript.StartCoroutine(time(birdScript));
#

that also allows the BirdScript component to own that instance of the coroutine so if the component is disabled or destroyed during that WaitForSeconds the coroutine will end instead of continuing then throwing an error when it tries to access the BirdScript component again

#

of course you should probably use TryGetComponent instead of GetComponent so that you can cover your ass in case a gameobject that doesn't have that component is passed to Apply

tawny jewel
#

am i supposed to type in console.writeline

somber nacelle
#

No...

#

You already have a method that accepts a parameter, maybe take that as an example

tawny jewel
#

i can try to translate iff thats ll help

Just show the code

Most likely you're attempting to use it outside of a method

Git checkout HEAD i think?

Hi, I want to make an AI navigation system based on waypoints. The AI spawns at one corner of the map and has to try to get to a target point, which is itself linked to a waypoint. Between the starting waypoint and the waypoint linked to the target, I want to search all the waypoint connections to figure out the path to take from start to end. Does anyone know the best way to begin implementing this?

Can you download it and tell me if Zenject.csproj in Extenject\UnityProject\Assets\Plugins\Zenject\Source opens properly?
Because I am getting this

idk wher to pu this in general or beginner but QUESTION: What would it look like code wise as a base to make it so after landing on an object a player will play an animation below him. (This is for my dust effect anim to play below the player after he lands on something)

Have a jump boolean, and whilst the jump boolean is true and a certain collider collides with the ground then you spawn in dust

#

Though you'd have to have a delay or smth

#

Else you just have to calculate the inertia or smth

Do tilemap colliders not work along the XZ plane?

Fair, thanks

update: i created a fresh project and i still see this, and even when entering the freshly created project it tells me to enter in safe mode

#

so it has to be a unity editor error indeed

If I use mathf.lerp with two rotation values it will be a smooth rotation right?

I want to make a fork for Zenject. But there are too many unnecessary files in Zenject's repo on GitHub, such as non-Unity build. Also When I open the .csproj file of Zenject's build for Unity my IDE says that most of the files can't be found even though I just cloned the repo and didn't touch anything. Tried to delete the repo from my PC and clone again, didn't help.
So, do you think I should simply download the version from PackageManager, make alterations to it and download to GitHub? Perhaps even without forking?
Thank you.

Hey, I'm trying to fix up my movement, since first it said a set amount to rb.velocity but now I'm here and realised that wasn't a great idea, so I've to make it so that it doesn't replace it. Which works, only problem is that diagonal movement is still faster than horizontal/vertical movement. I've been trying to fix it the entire day of yesterday.
Here's the code in question:

public static Vector2 ProcessPlayerMovementToVector(Vector2 vector, in float multiplier, in Axis axis, in Polarity polarity)
    {
        vector.Normalize();
        
        vector = axis == Axis.X
        ? new Vector2((int)polarity * multiplier, vector.y)
        : new Vector2(vector.x, (int)polarity * multiplier);

        return vector;
    }

    private void MoveOnKeyPressed(KeyCode key, Axis axis, Polarity polarity)
    {
        if (!Input.GetKey(key)) return;

        rb.AddForce(ProcessPlayerMovementToVector(rb.velocity, movementSpeed, axis, polarity));

        onMove?.Invoke(axis, polarity);
        
        print(rb.velocity.magnitude);
    }

    private void UpdateMovement()
    {
        MoveOnKeyPressed(W, Axis.Y, Positive);
        MoveOnKeyPressed(A, Axis.X, Negative);
        MoveOnKeyPressed(S, Axis.Y, Negative);
        MoveOnKeyPressed(D, Axis.X, Positive);

        rb.velocity *= friction;
    }

(Here's the whole code if needed, it's not much larger https://gdl.space/ikuvihovow.cs)

Axis and the polarity are just enums

sum up the directional vectors, normalize, then apply movement forces

this pretty much

consider this: let's say movementSpeed is 1 and I press up and right. That's 1 unit up and 1 unit right. What's the magnitude of (1, 1)? That's why your diagonal movement is wrong

is this proper way to do a coroutine

# woeful leaf I still don't quite get it, could you provide a tangible code example of how to ...

you sum the vectors so N1 = (x1,y1) and N2 = (x2, y2) = N(diagonal) = (x1+x2, y1+y2)
For any vector V = (x, y), |V| = sqrt(x*x + y*y ) gives the length of the vector.
When we normalize a vector, we actually calculate V/|V| = (x/|V|, y/|V|).

If you have the Vectors (1,0) and (0,-1) that results in our diagonal vector of (1,-1).
Applying the formular |V| we see the length of the vector is 2.
When normalizing that vector we essentailly have to count (1/2,-1/2) so
V(new) = (0.5,-0.5)

oh god

#

lemme read

fluid kettle
#

I believe unity has a method for normalizing so nothing you actively have to do

woeful leaf
#

I already normalize it though, no?

fluid kettle
#

Vector.Normalize yea

#

Problem is you only call that method when processing one button. You dont check for 2 pressed buttons
