[fringe valve]

Again, new, sorry about that and next time just tell me where to go @left narwhal

[unreal temple]

Are you using SimpleMove or Move?

[wanton obsidian]

.Move

[unreal temple]

Are you applying gravity?

[wanton obsidian]

Yes

[unreal temple]

No idea then sorry haha

I thought maybe your character was ending up fractionally above the ground.

[wanton obsidian]

If it helps XD

[unreal temple]

You're calling Move twice here

You should probably avoid doing that

What is the diff between playerVelocity and charController.velocity?

[wanton obsidian]

I can read it better, I'm kinda dumb about that stuff

Its also nearly an exact copy of what unity has in its documentation ;-;

[unreal temple]

Oh, remove the grounded check there

You can apply gravity on the ground too

[left narwhal]

its for a jump

[unreal temple]

this bit

I still don't know what plaerVelocity is

but this superficially looks like bad logic to me

[left narwhal]

playerVelocity is an extra velocity for the jump i think

it is sort of

[unreal temple]

So its x is always 0?

[left narwhal]

ehh

actually its all right

it prevents it being called so often

it is to limit the velocity to 0

[unreal temple]

Well it's probably what's causing your issue

[left narwhal]

so they dont fall through the ground

its not

[unreal temple]

skylord's issue

[left narwhal]

yes

basically its saying

if the player is falling downwards

and theyre touching the ground

then set the velocity to 0

so they dont fall through the ground

personally @wanton obsidian

i would raycast

instead of using isgrounded as a check

[wanton obsidian]

Hhm

[somber nacelle]

CharacterController.isGrounded only updates when Move is called. When using the incorrect double call to Move that brackeys likes to teach (which is what you have) it will only detect ground when you do that second call to apply gravity, so your normal movement won't be moving the controller downward to collide with ground

[unreal temple]

Basically you want this every time:

var velocity = cam.transform.TransformDirection(MovementSpeed * new Vector3(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), 0, Input.GetAxis("Vertical"))
  + Physics.gravity * Time.deltaTime;

if (charController.isGrounded) {
  velocity.y = jumpStrength;
}

charController.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);

[somber nacelle]

combine the gravity with your input and call Move one time per Update and it will work correctly

[unreal temple]

ah, this is a brackey's thing?

Makes sense

The bane of unity discord

[somber nacelle]

the double call to move is, yeah

[wanton obsidian]

... I got it from the unity documentation...

[left narwhal]

useless

and inefficient

i would recommend

just doing it in one move.

[unreal temple]

the extra call to move? yes

[somber nacelle]

huh, it is in the docs. well that's no good

although the docs do grab the isGrounded property before the first call to Move so it does still use the value from that second call which is correct

[wanton obsidian]

;-;

I killed it

[left narwhal]

rip

[dusky spear]

i just tried to make a light2d variable and unity told me i was using outdated something or other and replaced it with this

is there no way to make this shorter?

[potent sleet]

are u using 2D urp?

[cosmic rain]

What did you do before and what exactly unity told you? Also, unity can't replace your code.

[dusky spear]

ye

[dusky spear]

there was a popup saying do you want to update this old file or whatever

[cosmic rain]

If you use the correct namespace, you can just type Light2D.

[dusky spear]

oh i just had to add the using at the top

[ionic socket]

How can I avoid empty pass-through constructors in my subclasses?

[unreal temple]

using UnityEngine.Rendering.Universal;

// ...

class Foo : MonoBehaviour {
  public Light2D light;

[dusky spear]

cool thx

how would i do a triangle shaped cast

[unreal temple]

In 2D? You can cast a polygon

IIRC

[dusky spear]

like from this ball

and in the shape of that light

and get all objects inside that all the way down

[unreal temple]

Ah, I'd probably cast a number of individual rays

[dusky spear]

or whichever way its facing

[dusky spear]

no but i also want to get objects behind the other objects

[unreal temple]

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

Create a polygon collider, update it to fit the triangle before you cast it

[dusky spear]

ok

[unreal temple]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PolygonCollider2D.html

[dusky spear]

oh so do i just use it like a trigger?

[unreal temple]

You can use GetPath and SetPath to modify the points

[dusky spear]

ah yeah that sounds good

[unreal temple]

I'd use OverlapCollider personally

but you can use it like a trigger if you want

Personally I prefer to just ask for a list of results

[dusky spear]

yeah overlap collider will work perfectly

[mental rover]

what do you mean by empty pass-through constructors here?

[ionic socket]

all it does is call the base constructor, doesn't do any work or set any variables.

[unreal temple]

You can't if the parent class has an explicit constructor.

[mental rover]

not sure what the question is - do you just want to not have to write the constructor line in your subclasses?

[unreal temple]

yes

they want an implicit constructor when the base class has an explicit one.

At least that's my understanding

[dusky spear]

what is the constructor for this

[proven plume]

It's a limitation of C#, the constructor needs to be done explicitly.

Inferred constructors only happen when they have no parameters.

[dusky spear]

bruh why do these docs not mention a constructor

oh im dumb nvm

for the path of polygoncollider2d, would the coordinates of each point be in world space or object spacce

[dusky spear]

would this work or do i need to create the PolygonCollider2D as a gameobject

if i used polygoncollider2d.createprimitive to create the triangle, what orientation would it be in

the function doesnt have a rotation thingy built in

[cosmic rain]

Because you can't create unity components with constructor.

[dusky spear]

How should I do this? I haven’t used unity in a little while

[cosmic rain]

Components can only exist on gameObjects, so you use AddComponent to instantiate components.

[dusky spear]

Oh cool

Thx

[wanton obsidian]

Anyone know how I can implement the cameras rotation into this to make sure the character moves the way the camera's facing. I thought I had it correctly but its not working like it used to

[wanton obsidian]

How do I add my playerVelocity into the character move to keep from using two controller.Move's

[hidden gazelle]

hi i need help how do i make

hi i need help how do i make a harry potter style wand ?

[warm wren]

with a modeling program and following basic modeling tutorials

not really a code question tho

[hidden gazelle]

oo ok

[hexed geode]

cs charController.Move((cam.transform.right * horizontal + this.transform.forward * vertical + playerVelocity) * Time.deltaTime);
Just add the playerVelocity vector I guess

[unreal temple]

You need to create a component, yeah

[karmic bloom]

Can we change the default speaker mode in script? I tried AudioSettings.speakerMode - but that just returns the active mode

[potent glade]

question I have enabled full stack debugging and yet I get this message :
"A Native Collection has not been disposed, resulting in a memory leak. Enable Full StackTraces to get more details."
here are the settings in projects settings

[cosmic ermine]

hey I'm looking for a way to compare 2 colours, currently im doing it via math.distance(), but this is providing some odd results, is there a better way to do this?

[west lotus]

Main Menu > Jobs > Leak Detection > Full Stack Traces

[potent glade]

thank you, i will try it but I am not using DOTS

[west lotus]

Native collections are part of the dots tech stack

[potent glade]

I see thank you

[west lotus]

Where are you using a native collection ?

[urban owl]

Debug.Log not showing in Editor mode

[main shuttle]

It depends on what you mean with compare. Because if you mean that in respect to how alike 2 colors are for a human, then you can look at color theory for that.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIE_1931_color_space or some other ones, there are multiple theories about it.
If you mean the RGB values, you could just do what you already do. It's unclear to me what odd results currently entail.

[west lotus]

Then that part of the code ia not being called at all @urban owl

[cosmic ermine]

fascinating, thanks so much!

[main shuttle]

Happy to help

[urban owl]

it is called, I sure

[west lotus]

How are you sure?

It is possible you turned off the logs in the console window

There should be 3 toggles in it for logs warnings and errors

[urban owl]

only Debug.LogError is showed

Debug.Log is not

[main shuttle]

The toggles are in the top right, can you show those?

[vital oracle]

Does anyone know how to use TMPro sprite assets via C#/script?

In the inspector you can use <sprite index=1> easily to display the sprite.

As of now the asset I am using takes a string and then sets a TMPro text to that string, but I cannot input sprite index=1> as a string.

[urban owl]

this ?

[main shuttle]

Those

[urban owl]

OK, thank you

[main shuttle]

Do you see the debugs now?

[urban owl]

it's showing

Unity Job System 1 dimentional Quadtree Brainstorming

[dense vessel]

Hello,
I'm having a really weird bug in my game 🤔 (really annoying and really hard to reproduce...)
Basically (removing everything that is irrelevant), I have two scripts : Warrior and Game_manager.
Game_manager instanciates a warrior in Start and calls the Warrior.activateMove() method in the first update.
Warrior initializes some variables in Start and uses these variables in activateMove()

public class Game_manager : MonoBehaviour
{
  public GameObject prefabWarrior;
  private GameObject warrior;
  private bool firstUpdate = false;
  
  private void Start()
  {
    warrior = Instanciate(prefabWarrior, ...);
  }

  private void Update()
  {
    if(firstUpdate)
    {
      firstUpdate = false;
      warrior.GetComponent<Warrior>().activateMove();
    }
  }
}

public class Warrior : MonoBehaviour
{
  private GameObject moveArrows;
  private void Start()
  {
    moveArrows = transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(2).gameObject;
  }
  
  public void activateMove()
  {
    moveArrows.SetActive(true);
  }
}

My problem is that rarely (about 5% of the time), in the built game (maybe it's a coincidence but I've never had that bug in the editor), the game starts, the warrior is instanciated correctly but then Warrior.activateMove() is called before Warrior.Start() 🧐 (I know this because of some logs I added, the Warrior.Start() wasn't called when the bug occured)
Therefore I get an "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object" error and nothing works...

Warriors are only instantiated in Game_manager.Start() and activateMove() is only called in Game_manager.Update()

I'm guessing there's something I don't understand in the order in which Unity calls the Start and Update methods but then I don't get why it happens so rarely. Any idea why this happens and how I could fix it?

[simple mountain]

chatbot thinks you should use awake method instead of start

[thin aurora]

Probably because update is not guaranteed to happen after start

[woeful leaf]

Yeah maybe using Awake would fix it

[thin aurora]

You should add a boolean instead of checking firstUpdate

Unless awake works

[dense vessel]

I already have other things in Awake

[dense vessel]

That's a good idea though!

[thin aurora]

Then use a boolean rather than firstUpdate

[dense vessel]

I'll try and come back in a few days if the bugs occurs again 😆
Thanks!

[thin aurora]

IDK if I'm right, but I assume there is no guarantee that Start happends before Update. It happends after Awake

[woeful leaf]

Why AI

[simple mountain]

it s usefull xd

[thin aurora]

Stop relying on ChatGPT to give you an answer

It's going to tell you that because awake is obviously where initialization happends half the time, but not here

[woeful leaf]

^

[thin aurora]

@dense vessel Can't you just instantiate and then call your move method after, all in the same method?

[dense vessel]

I've never had any problem like that though 🤔
Maybe because it's the Start of an object that was instanciated in the Start of another object?

[thin aurora]

Or, create a coroutine which contains the spawn method, then it yields a frame, and then it moves?

[thin aurora]

Then it's all contained in one method basically.

[dense vessel]

That would not fix the issue since I need the Warrior.Start() to be called before Warrior.activateMove()

[thin aurora]

The coroutine one works for that

Awake and start happen at the same frame

unless you don't enable it at initialisation time

[dense vessel]

So I would start a coroutine in Game_manager.Start() and the coroutine would instanciate the warrior, yield a frame and then activateMove() ?

[thin aurora]

Basically, yes

[dense vessel]

And Warrior.Start() would be guaranteed to be called in that frame?

[thin aurora]

But your warrior's Start method stuff should happen in an Awake anyway

[west lotus]

The update of one Mono is not guaranteed to run after the start of another. The best solution is to have your own Init method in the Warrior. Instantite in manager start, get the component and call init method on it

[thin aurora]

So you might aswell change that

Because it's able to find your gameobject in an awake

[dense vessel]

Ooh that's probably the easiest solution. Thanks!

[thin aurora]

Like, if you do your Unity stuff properly, you don't even have to bother waiting a frame for stuff

If you do your initialization in awake and behaviour in start, it basically never goes wrong

[dense vessel]

Oh true, I thought I had other stuff in Awake but that was another script 😅
Thanks a lot for all these solutions!

So the Awake of an object instanciated in Game_manager.Start() is guaranteed to be called before Game_manager.Update() ?

[west lotus]

Im not sure that its guaranteed

Awake sure is early enough to fire before any update but I dont think there is an actull guarantee

[dense vessel]

Well I'll do the custom start solution then, this way I'm 100% sure 😄

[west lotus]

The only guarantee is for a individual mono

[west lotus]

Yep, its the cleanest and easiest way

[thin aurora]

Yes, it is

I just don't know if Start is guaranteed to happen before it

I think it depends on when you instantiate. Like if you instantiate late instead of when Unity boots it probably varies

I assume it's before Update then

[dense vessel]

Ok. But I still prefer Uri's method. This way I don't rely on Unity's stuff, I'm 100% sure it works and I understand what I'm doing 😄

[thin aurora]

He's right though. The update of your manager is not guaranteed to happen after your Warrior's Start (and awake??) method. That's why it's so confusing

People usually work around it by making an init method and passing required data in there, since awake and start don't take parameters

But if moving is a recurring thing, you can totally just call that manually

[simple mountain]

Threadly reminder

[woeful leaf]

Well they can but then it won't be an Unity function anymore so it'll just be like any other function

So in theory you could have your own method called Start with parameters and call that yourself, though that's a bit confusing probably so maybe not the best practice

[thin aurora]

Because Unity doesn't know what values/references the parameters have 🙃

That's probably also why there's not an init method build in in general

If you feel like it you could implement a custom instantiate method that calls init for you, kind of how c#'s Activator works: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.activator.createinstance?view=net-7.0#system-activator-createinstance(system-type-system-object())

[teal kernel]

Kinda epic tbh

This is from chatGPT

[woeful leaf]

I'd advise not to use chatGPT

[woeful leaf]

Also any questions you get if you use that code, you may not ask since the code is AI generated (#📖┃code-of-conduct)

[teal kernel]

Still better than if i did it

Trol

[sterile zealot]

I have a strange issue that is happening at Runtime and not through any errors or spitting anything into my Debug.log. It could be code related but may be a setting issue somewhere.

I'm not very experienced with Unity, but I do have two scenes that work fine when I'm in the Editor and click Play. But when I do a Build, my first Scene with 2 basic UI buttons on a menu does not work. It works fine in the editor but not on the build. I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del each time. Is there something minor I'm missing here? Or do you know if this is a code issue I need to debug?

It's a New 2D Project, the first button is to Play the game and just opens up Scene 2, and the second button is coded to Exit the Application.

[carmine rivet]

I'm having a problem with chunk generation for my 2D TopDown game. The further away from the center the player moves, the further away the chunks generate exponentially.
This results in chunks not generating on the player.

I'm pretty sure the problem is in the highlighted part of the code as the chunks still generate on the correct coordinates, just not correctly around the player.

Thanks in advance.

[thin aurora]

ChatGPT is very solid, but please don't use them to develop your application unless you understand why it does something. Also, ChatGPT can be very wrong.

So, unless you understand the code he just generated, I advice finding a way to make your script without AI

[woeful leaf]

^

[pine spire]

It can be a great learning tool, but that's mainly because video tutorials are so overrated and common and ChatGPT won't give you gazillion video tutorials like google :D Can be hilariously wrong also, so you really need to know something about the subject already.

[woeful leaf]

For example, whilst this what the bot said isn't wrong, it might not be what you want since it's always overriding velocity and then you cannot "properly" use physics

[sterile zealot]

Is there a well known thing in Unity to check when something works fine in the Editor but not at Runtime?

[teal kernel]

I wouldnt script in the first place

[woeful leaf]

Elaborate?

You can use Preprocessor directives to make things run in only the editor, but I don't know if that's probably not what you mean

[sterile zealot]

@woeful leaf I have two scenes that work fine when I'm in the Editor and click Play. But when I do a Build, my first Scene with 2 basic UI buttons on a menu does not work. It works fine in the editor but not on the build. I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del each time. Is there something minor I'm missing here? Or do you know if this is a code issue I need to debug?

It's a New 2D Project, the first button is to Play the game and just opens up Scene 2, and the second button is coded to Exit the Application.

[thin aurora]

True, it is a great learning tool when you want to try something new. Except people don't learn from it, they just copy paste whatever ChatGPT gives them, and ask proceed to go to #💻┃code-beginner to ask "Why doesn't this work??? 😿 ".

I used it to learn React last week

But I actually wrote stuff myself after it was explained

[sterile zealot]

@woeful leaf I was thinking it could be related to the layers I have the background image on and the buttons, but then it shouldn't work in the Editor either if that were the case.

[woeful leaf]

Both buttons don't work or?

[sterile zealot]

Both buttons works in the Editor but after I compile and Run the build nothing works, it gets to Screen 0 which is my Game Menu screen, but nothing works and I have to Ctrl+Alt+Del out each time

[woeful leaf]

Can you show the code?

[sterile zealot]

Do you think it could be an issue with my code? Because I wasn't sure if it was my code or a setting in Unity I'm missing.

Still getting use to Unity

[woeful leaf]

Well there's a difference between exiting the application and exiting the editor

using UI;

public class Quit : MenuButton
{
    public override void OnClick()
    {
#if UNITY_EDITOR
        UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
#else
    Application.Quit();
#endif 
    }
}

So if you only have the former then it won't actually do anything in the build

The latter should work though

[sterile zealot]

// Start is called before the first frame update
    public Button playButton;
    public Button quitButton;

    void Start()
    {
        playButton.onClick.AddListener(GoToGame);
        quitButton.onClick.AddListener(ExitGame);
    }

    private void GoToGame()
    {
        SceneManager.LoadScene(1);
    }

    private void ExitGame()
    {
        Application.Quit();
    }```

[woeful leaf]

wrong thing

it's backticks

Thank you!

[woeful leaf]

You still didn't get the

[sterile zealot]

That's the related code I have for those two buttons

[tawny elk]

You can format your multiline code block with C# highlighting! Just add cs to the start of it. Highlighting example below!

class Fluffs : FluffyCat
{
    public void PetCat ()
    {
        Debug.Log ("Petting Cat.")
    }
}

[woeful leaf]

The buttons are assigned in the inspector I assume?

[woeful leaf]

It has to be on separate lines like the example gives

[sterile zealot]

Yes

[woeful leaf]

Assuming you don't use them in other scripts through that script, you should make it [SerializeField] private instead of public

That's not why it doesn't work though

[sterile zealot]

Finally got.. thanks

[woeful leaf]

You've no errors, correct?

[sterile zealot]

Those buttons would only appear on that menu

[woeful leaf]

Like any errors

[sterile zealot]

Correct.. no errors

Actually, my Exit Game button doesn't work in the Editor mode, but I assume that was because I was running in Editor and why I was trying to test it in the Build Run

@woeful leaf

[simple mountain]

Eventho this doesn t say much it should help explain my situation

[woeful leaf]

Could you slap this code on it instead?

#if UNITY_EDITOR
    UnityEditor.EditorApplication.isPlaying = false;
#else
    Application.Quit();
#endif 

[sterile zealot]

Sure..I'm open to suggestions

[simple mountain]

cpp flashbacks

[woeful leaf]

In the ExitGame();

And try if it exits the game then in the editor

[pine spire]

@thin aurora Yeah definitely not copy-paste material. But especially for programming can be quite good and actually sometimes gives better results than google. Like I don't know if it has eaten whole github or what, but sometimes if you ask about some things like behavior of specific API it gives you answers which definitely are not directly available from google.

[woeful leaf]

Like I don't know if it has eaten whole github or what
I'd not be surprised

[sterile zealot]

@woeful leaf Nice... that make it quit the game in the Editor now

[woeful leaf]

Hm so that button does also work in the editor

Try this maybe?

[sterile zealot]

It does now, yes. Doesn't work in Run.. just tested it.. I also noticed that the Button highlights are no working when I mouse over them in the Build Run. They work find in the Editor

[woeful leaf]

Did you try this?

[sterile zealot]

Reading it now

Interesting.. it was set to the Old method and when I changed it to both.. Unity Crashed..

first time I've seen it crash like that

[woeful leaf]

Welp reboot it and see if it changed

If it hasn't change it back again and pray it doesn't crash kek

[sterile zealot]

Yeah.. It wanted me to reboot a bug so it's doing that right now

report*

It saved it as both

Now to test it

Nope.. same as before.. I can move the mouse cursor around but it's almost like the game is locked up

[woeful leaf]

Could you just like put some text in the main menu that just increases an int and displays it to see if it runs?

[sterile zealot]

Just put in Start()?

[woeful leaf]

No update so you can see that it keeps running

[sterile zealot]

Ah right

[minor sigil]

I am so confused rn,

        float x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        Debug.Log($"{x} : {z}");

I made a new project, put this into it, why does z return -1 when no key is pressed?

This is being called every frame in update, but in 3 different projects I put this into, z always = -1 when its nothing is being pressed

It was my sim steering wheel messing it up ^ god damnit

[swift falcon]

Kind of a broader question. Is inheritance used to manage multiple levels with the same script or is there another way to do it in Unity?

[minor sigil]

Scriptable objects

If its the exact same code different variable values, use scriptable objects

[swift falcon]

Great thank you

[wraith spear]

I'm having some trouble with yield returning a method. It worked fine for other methods, but for some reason this one won't start.
Code for context: https://hatebin.com/sulellohyp (see the "This part fails" comment)

Problem description:

1. When the player clicks on a move button, the method OnClickMoveButton(index) is executed and a Coroutine is started to handle their input.
2. If they select everything correctly, the methods HideMovePanel() and MoveSelectionOver() get called.
3. HideMovePanel() is executed succesfully. It hides the move panel, and when debugging, breakpoints get hit.
4. MoveSelectionOver() is not executed succesfully. For some reason, the method doesn't even get executed. Breakpoints aren't hit, nothing happens.

I was wondering whether anyone knows why this might happen / sees something I've missed.
Oh, and something else that's weird; if I change the order of the methods (first MoveSelectionOver() and then HideMovePanel()) MoveSelectionOver() does get executed. However I really don't see how HideMovePanel() could stop MoveSelectionOver()'s execution.

[woeful leaf]

Any errors?

Also what is TurnController.instance.StartTurn(selectedMoves) exactly

[minor sigil]

Try yield return StartCoroutine(MoveSelectionOver());

You aren't calling MoveSelectionOver correctly

I also assume your gonna have the same problem with yield return TurnController.instance.StartTurn(selectedMoves);

[wraith spear]

In the past / for other methods I've never needed to do that, but I'll try it out

[minor sigil]

Was the coroutine already initialized?

You can do that if you already called it, but thats not how you call a coroutine in unity, so unless you call it somewhere first that won't work

[wraith spear]

Updated the hatebin link. At the bottom of the file I included the TurnController.StartTurn() method.
No errors, just... nothing.

[minor sigil]

Like you could do

Coroutine moveOverRoutine = StartCoroutine(MoveSelectionOver());
yield return moveOverRoutine;

[wraith spear]

I've always done it like this. Are there differences in execution?
private Method 1 {
StartCoroutine(Method 2());
}

IEnumerator Method 2 {
yield return null;
}

[minor sigil]

yes you are returning null in Method2, you are not starting another coroutine

But you start the coroutine by doing StartCoroutine(Method 2());

You aren't doing that in your code, you might call StartCoroutine(ProcessInput(index));
but you dont have any for the others, you are returning an unstarted coroutine

[maiden inlet]

how do i deal with Editor Code that needs to be on a ScriptableObject but the SO cant have a reference to UnityEditor Assembly cause i want it to work in build? Specifically i want to use [OnOpenAsset] to open a custom editor window

[minor sigil]

Don't think thats possible unless unity has a dll

its a unity feature, not a c# feature

[wraith spear]

I see. I'll do some more research and try your suggestion. Thanks!

[minor sigil]

Its going to work, everytime you call a coroutine and want the code inside to run, you need to do StartCoroutine first so unity knows

Thats also a feature unity has, not c#

Your code

private Method1() {
    StartCoroutine(Method2());
}

IEnumerator Method2() {
    yield return Method3();
}


IEnumerator Method3() {
    yield return null;
}

how it should be

private Method1() {
    StartCoroutine(Method2());
}

IEnumerator Method2() {
    yield return StartCoroutine(Method3());
}


IEnumerator Method3() {
    yield return null;
}

[wraith spear]

I thought thanks to the yield returns the methods were automatically "chained" in one big Coroutine. That's how it's worked for me previously. But thanks for the detailed explanation!

[shut ridge]

greetings. when i check if two lists have any intersecting elements, it returns true, but when I to get those elements, it seems to return null.

[minor sigil]

They will "chain", you just need to start the next one, you can't call it like a normal function, they aren't functions

[wraith spear]

Although that doesn't explain why it worked if I switched HideMovePanel() and MoveSelectionOver()... Any idea about that?

[minor sigil]

This is the most un descriptive thing i have read here

[wraith spear]

Yeah, I think that was my error of thought.

[shut ridge]

💀

i'll show code

[minor sigil]

wym

[wraith spear]

Do they both contain null? 😅

[minor sigil]

like instead of

[shut ridge]

no shot, they log player names

[minor sigil]

HideMovePanel();
yield return MoveSelectionOver();

you did

yield return MoveSelectionOver();
HideMovePanel();

like that?

[wraith spear]

Yes, exactly

[minor sigil]

If thats the case, you have an error in HideMovePanel

[shut ridge]

if (List1.Intersect(List2).Any())
{
   var variable = List1.Intersect(List2);
   Debug.Log(variable);
}

[minor sigil]

Still weird the next coroutine would be called though without StartCoroutine

[wraith spear]

No errors logged, not even warnings

[shut ridge]

logs null

[minor sigil]

Are you sure MoveSelectionOver is getting called?

Like add a debug to it, so when it gets called it logs it

Don't just think its doing it

[wraith spear]

Aaaah nevermind I got the problem!

[minor sigil]

Again, does not help us

[maiden inlet]

hmm what i can do is have my custom window in MyAssembly.Editor and the SO in MyAssembly. Then with InitializeOnLoad i can subscribe to an event triggered from my SO OnOpenAsset. This just seems like its not the right way

[shut ridge]

what is the problem then

im showing the code that has an issue

[wraith spear]

In HideMovePanel I set the gameobject to inactive. That's the same gameobject the script is attached to. Now that I do yield return StartCoroutine(MoveSelectionOver()) I get an error "Coroutine couldn't be started because the the game object 'MoveButtons' is inactive!"

[minor sigil]

You are not showing all your code

You are just showing yourself logging it

Not the values going into it

[shut ridge]

alright i'll look into it

[minor sigil]

Also

.intersect returns a IEnumerable<int>

You can't log it like that

[shut ridge]

it returns an ienumerable<string> for me

[minor sigil]

Oh

[shut ridge]

and I convert it to string

[minor sigil]

string list, still the same

you cant log it like that

var variable = List1.Intersect(List2); isnt a string

its a IEnumerable<string>

[shut ridge]

i use tostring()

[minor sigil]

not in that code you dont

[shut ridge]

whoops

but yea i do in my proj

[minor sigil]

Its not a .tostring though....

You have to loop through it

[shut ridge]

it does allow me to tostring it

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[minor sigil]

IEnumerable<string> variable = List1.Intersect(List2);

foreach(var killmenow in variable)
  Debug.log(killmenow);

[minor sigil]

omg

learn coding please

[shut ridge]

i've been coding for less than a year

this is legit my first time using ienum

[minor sigil]

You are getting the string value of the IEnumerable

the IEnumerable has multiple values in it

not just one like your trying to do

Even if it only has one, its a list type

So you will have to loop through it

Or get the first value

IEnumerable[pos]

[shut ridge]

i'll look into that

thanks

[minor sigil]

I gave you the code above

[shut ridge]

and apologies

[minor sigil]

This will work

[shut ridge]

im still brank new

*brand

lmao

thx fr

[narrow kite]

will it stop loop when isWalking isn't true anymore? if not, then how to stop this loop when isWalking isn't true?

[wraith spear]

Everyone needs to start somewhere, that's totally fair. However, next time you ask a question on either this Discord or somewhere else online I recommend you follow this step-by-step guide from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask (you can see it on the right under "Step 1: Draft your question"). It'll make it a lot easier for us to help you.

[shut ridge]

aight <3

[minor sigil]

Learn about objects

most people skip tht

[shut ridge]

nono
im pretty ok with those

lists and enums are my bane rn lmao

[wraith spear]

It should, although due to the WaitForSeconds you have a delay of 0-1 seconds until it actually stops. Also, I recommend doing this with an Animator instead of scripting: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-Animator.html

[minor sigil]

paste ur code

[narrow kite]

i don't know how to use animator, it's to hard but i will try

[narrow kite]

nvm, i will try animator

[minor sigil]

Actually

I ont wanna

I was gonna fix it, but you should rewrite that

Movement should not be done through a ienumerator

[wraith spear]

I'd recommend a YouTube tutorial. Easier that way :^)

[narrow kite]

can animator change sprites in SpriteRenderer?

[minor sigil]

Also, that will have delays of atleast half a second

[minor sigil]

Im pretty sure

nvm actually

I have no idea

[sharp oracle]

yes

[narrow kite]

then how to do it?

[minor sigil]

actually i dont think you can

Correct me if im wrong

but I dont think so

[minor sigil]

Try recording an animation where u change the sprite

[narrow kite]

huh ok

[minor sigil]

Its easy

Create a new animation, hit the record button, drag the new sprite in

i dont know if it will log it or not but i dont see why it wouldnt

[narrow kite]

i think i got it

let me try

[narrow kite]

how to change entry? i want to connect it to idle

[minor sigil]

Right click on the on idle, hit set default layer

Then make a bool parameter

make a transition from idle to walk when that bool is true, walk to idle when its false

[narrow kite]

oh i did it

[minor sigil]

and set the bool to your iswalkin value

Get a reference to your animator, animator.SetBool("walking", isWalking);

in your update ^

[narrow kite]

if the dash is not connected to anything, can i still play it via script?

[minor sigil]

Yes

[narrow kite]

cool

[minor sigil]

animator.Play("Dash");

Make a transition going back to idle though

after exit time for example

or however long you want, or could just do in code animator.Play("Idle"); when you wanna go back

I recommend trying to keep it clean, animators start to get confusing very fast

[narrow kite]

i have animator, right? now i can play dash with it like you did?

[minor sigil]

Yes

[narrow kite]

cool

[minor sigil]

make a parameter in your animator for walking and switch between idle and walk

with transitions

[swift falcon]

How to do multithreading?

[minor sigil]

and set that parameter to your isWalking

[minor sigil]

by creating multiple threads?

[swift falcon]

yeah but how do I communicate with the main thread
i can't even call instantiate

[minor sigil]

Because its on a different thread

[swift falcon]

So

[minor sigil]

Threads can't interact like that

Thread is its own process

[swift falcon]

Well how do I improve chunk generation performance then

[minor sigil]

Essentially a different program

[swift falcon]

It lags a lot

[minor sigil]

Chunk loading and saving

Only generate chunks around the player

ungenerate and save the ones the player isnt near

how every game ever does it

[swift falcon]

Tf do you think I'm doing?

[minor sigil]

lmao

[swift falcon]

It still lags

[minor sigil]

Good

[swift falcon]

Mainly when you walk

[minor sigil]

Your code is shit

cant help ya

[swift falcon]

I just grab chunks from a dictionary

[minor sigil]

Maybe learn about things before trying to implement them

That would help

And when someone is trying to explain it to you

Don't act rude

[swift falcon]

i mean what did you even think i was doing

That's literally how every game does it

[minor sigil]

Why do you need different threads then

No game uses other threads for that lol

not a single one

I can 100% confirm that

because its not possible

The game might run on multiple threads

But the generation part is all in 1 thread

[swift falcon]

yeah so i figured i could dedicate a thread to chunk generation and do the rest on others

But i can't run things like instantiate on that thread

Which i kinda need

[minor sigil]

Make your own engine then

[thin aurora]

Unity doesn't exactly have multithreading as far as I know

[minor sigil]

You are going off of unitys thread

The second you do that

You lose all unity functions

[lucid valley]

gameobject not really, DOTS entities yes

[thin aurora]

When you work asynchronously in Unity, it just delegates the tasks in a custom state machine that still works synchronously because Unity methods must work on the main thread

[swift falcon]

Well shit

[thin aurora]

Thanks, now I get why DOTS is a nice feature 🙃

[swift falcon]

I tried coroutines it's not working great

[minor sigil]

Running different threads in unity would honestly be worse

[thin aurora]

I never looked into it either way

[minor sigil]

Yea hopefully they keep improving it

[thin aurora]

Unity works with c#'s async-await pattern. Unity 2023 has good support for it

Don't use a Coroutine

[late lion]

Entities uses the Job system, which can be used without Entities.

[thin aurora]

But Unity2023 is in alpha

[minor sigil]

i was gonna say

[thin aurora]

So use with caution

[minor sigil]

who uses 2023

Im still on 2021.3 or 2020

[lucid valley]

either that or use UniTask package as that has the same features as what 2023 has with Awaitable

[oblique spoke]

Jobs has been considered production ready for a while and does actual multithreading

[minor sigil]

burst

[oblique spoke]

As is Burst. Neither require Entities.

[lucid valley]

well the issue is what is actually costing performance, working out the generation or actually spawning it

[minor sigil]

Pooling

Pooling will always be most effecient

[lucid valley]

you could use jobs to work out the generation and then mainthread spawn it (with pooling)

[minor sigil]

But why

Just disable stuff the player cant see

and enable what they can see

Its easy to implement, and good for performance

[lucid valley]

yeah sure theres other ways as well

[minor sigil]

Yes but thats one of the best performance wise

And super simple

[west lotus]

My dude you are literally speaking out of your ass. It depends on what his actuall perf problem is. Pooling might not fix it.

[minor sigil]

Pooling vs instantiating objects

Pooling is faster everytime lol

[west lotus]

Its most certanly not a best solution for everything

[thin aurora]

Adding pooling is always better, even if it's unecessary because pooling is not going to make your performance worse

[minor sigil]

did i say that

dont come at me like that

when ur being a dumbass

Read what i said

read the entire convo before that

We are talking about spawning in objects

There are 2 ways, instantiating, or pooling

[thin aurora]

The true Stackoverflow experience, there is always somebody to disagree with you in here

[minor sigil]

I just find it funny he said im talking out of my ass

[thin aurora]

It's a toxic way to learn, but learn we shall

[minor sigil]

when its proven what i said, and its proven what he said aint true

[mental rover]

no there isn't

[thin aurora]

Good way to let out some steam instead of bashing my irl coworkers too

[minor sigil]

im in school for cis

Coding for me is simple, just when u hear people talk about it they talking about like 500 random things at a time

[west lotus]

Nvm you guys can continue being dumb

[minor sigil]

Literally unity has made a post about this

Pooling is faster

always

[desert shard]

you're missing the point

[mental rover]

pooling is a tradeoff of memory - if you had a very large game you may not be able to just pool everything

[minor sigil]

Its not OMG GAME CHANGER performance for all, but when your making a game every little bit counts

[desert shard]

what if pooling isnt the problem?

then you've just wasted time

[minor sigil]

Thats not what im saying

[wispy badger]

how do you serialize Transform in Netcode?

public void giveServerRpc(Transform obj)
    {
        orgP = obj.position;
        orgR = obj.rotation;
        CarriedObject = obj;
        coName = obj.gameObject.GetComponent<item>().name;
        CarriedObject.GetComponent<MeshCollider>().enabled = false;
    }

[desert shard]

I know its not

and thats why it's dumb

[minor sigil]

Im talking about his issue

And he is the one that brung up in general

Im still talking about for world generation

And still, even if its not the issue

[thin aurora]

There is always a way where people can totally twist the subject and turn a simple question into a massive debate

[desert shard]

you optimize the problems, not fabrications

[minor sigil]

Its still better than instatiating

[minor sigil]

Ok but is it not better?

Im saying it is always performance wise better, can you say that is false?

Because that is all i said

[desert shard]

entirely dependant on the usage

[minor sigil]

I didnt say its perfect for everyone in every situation

Never have i said that or anything towards that

I dont get why you guys wanna argue just to argue

[minor sigil]

Also its not situation dependent, performance wise will be better

[mental rover]

Ceratone: Your code is shit
Ceratone: cant help ya
👀

[minor sigil]

Situation dependent on how much of a difference

[thin aurora]

Because everybody thinks they're better than everyone. It's the programmer dopamine and it's cheaper than coffee.

[minor sigil]

Read above that

[minor sigil]

I was tryna explain something to him and he was tryna be rude about it

i dont get how that has anything to do w now

[woeful leaf]

This isn't really going anywhere

[minor sigil]

If someone can prove what im saying is wrong ill shutup

but everyone keeps saying im wrong, then tries to say im saying something im not saying

[thin aurora]

This is such a good distraction from work tho

[woeful leaf]

That is fair

[neat lagoon]

🍿

[thin aurora]

This server is banging today, so much shit code and dumb arguments

I haven't done shit work-wise

[minor sigil]

Ive literally been just tryna help people here

[thin aurora]

I don't disagree with you

[minor sigil]

people keep trying to argue with me for literally no reason, google your arguement before you say it

because what im saying has been proven

[narrow kite]

my animation doesn't work, i will send you screenshot, just give me a sec

[minor sigil]

id go to animation or 2d channel

I don't know how 2d animations work

[mental rover]

Ceratone: Your code is shit
Ceratone: cant help ya
?

[minor sigil]

?

Read above that 5 year old

I was helping him, he started to get rude

[mental rover]

feel like you may need a timeout

[minor sigil]

Cool

Good thing your not staff then

Because ive literally been helping people for the past 2-3 hours

and im still tryna help someone

[narrow kite]

he is just trying to help and he just told the truth about this guy's code. i don't think timeout will be fair, he helped me for like 1 hour

[minor sigil]

and you keep tryna bring up shit that everyone let go

Just ignore them

If any of them can make a game that runs ill consider their opinions

[woeful leaf]

Can we just move on

As entertaining as this is, this isn't going anywhere

[minor sigil]

I have lmao, yall keep bring it back up

[narrow kite]

@minor sigil animation doesn't play

can you help?

[minor sigil]

Do the animations work?

[thin aurora]

You realize this whole shit show started because somebody argued against him and worded it like a moron, right? If you and another guy didn't join a side this would have stopped 12 minutes ago, so stop playing the blame game.

[minor sigil]

literally

[narrow kite]

it plays fine in preview but it doesnt play in actual game

[minor sigil]

Show your animator

[narrow kite]

idk why dash changed to dash 0

[minor sigil]

Do you care how it works? or do you just want it to work

Because you can do it a lot easier with just the animator

[narrow kite]

it's an animator

[minor sigil]

I know

I meant play the animations

[narrow kite]

idk man

[minor sigil]

Ok

[narrow kite]

i dont understand anymore

i will search tutorial

[minor sigil]

Do you see the parameters tab?

[narrow kite]

thx for help

[minor sigil]

in animator

do you see parameters tab

[narrow kite]

yes

[minor sigil]

make a bool called isWalking

[narrow kite]

ok

wait

[minor sigil]

Right click idle, click make transition drag to walk

and do same thing back, from walk to idle

[narrow kite]

ok

[minor sigil]

Turn off has exit time for both, on the transition idle -> walk, set condition to isWalking = true

[narrow kite]

like this?

[narrow kite]

wait

[minor sigil]

yes

like that

On the one going from idle -> walk, toggle off the has exit time

and add a condition where isWalking = true

[sterile zealot]

@woeful leaf Just wanted to let you know I never did get a Text incrementor added, but I figured out my problem from earlier. For some reason I had deleted the MainCamera and EventSystem from my Scene 0. After adding those back in, it fixed my runtime issue. Thanks for the help.

[minor sigil]

and same for walk -> idle, but isWalking = false

[narrow kite]

i dont see

[minor sigil]

Click the transition line

[narrow kite]

i dont see "has exit time"

[narrow kite]

ok

[minor sigil]

the white line going from them

[woeful leaf]

If that's the case why did it work in the editor?

Or did you never rebuilld it?

[narrow kite]

done

[minor sigil]

for both?

[sterile zealot]

Hmm don't know enough about Unity to really answer that. But it was working fine in the Editor.

[swift falcon]

how pooling

[minor sigil]

are you really that petty

[swift falcon]

yes?

[woeful leaf]

Did you save the scene when the editor had an eventsystem and camera, and then build it?

[narrow kite]

wait a sec it takes me time to search it

[minor sigil]

huh

[narrow kite]

give me a sec

[sterile zealot]

It could have been using Scene 1's EventSystem and Camera for the Editor as I had them both loaded. I suppose in a Runtime, only 1 scene is loaded at a time?

[minor sigil]

what u need to search for lol

just click the white line

[narrow kite]

bro

[minor sigil]

and toggle off hasexittime

[narrow kite]

just give me sec

1 sec

shit

autocorrect

sry

[woeful leaf]

Usually they're not in a DoNotDestroyOnLoad so that shoudn't be the problem

[mental rover]

google

[woeful leaf]

[swift falcon]

@minor sigil when i generate a chunk i log it in a dictionary so i don't have to re-instantiate it
is that what you're talking about

[minor sigil]

Yes, then set it to unactive if the player can't see it/isnt near it

[swift falcon]

Yeah I'm already doing that
I'm just experiencing lag spikes when activating/instantiating them

[minor sigil]

For best performance, if you disagree with this i stg, only render graphics that you can see

[minor sigil]

Is it different events for activating/instantiating?

Like does it only instantiate when its being generated for first time?

and once its instantiated, it goes to a pool and gets called .setactive from there?

[narrow kite]

are you sure?

[swift falcon]

Wouldn't i have to pool them anyway? Would suck if you unloaded a chunk and your builds disappeared

[minor sigil]

what

[swift falcon]

Exactly

[narrow kite]

there is a warning

[minor sigil]

You did something else then

[narrow kite]

bruh

its hard

[minor sigil]

its rly not

you click the white line

there is a boolean box

called Has Exit time

uncheck it

Under that there is a conditions box

hit the + button, select isWalking, set value to true or false

[minor sigil]

Is instantiating more laggy than setting active?

[swift falcon]

Not noticeabley, no

[narrow kite]

yeah but when i uncheck it there are warning and when i check it back warnings stop

[minor sigil]

Do you loop through the dictionary everytime?

The entire dictionary, not just the ones you want

[swift falcon]

No, i grab it by a Vector2

[minor sigil]

So you use coords?

[minor sigil]

add the condition

it makes it go away

[narrow kite]

i did it

[swift falcon]

I just round off the position of the player to that of a chunk, so yeah i use coords

[minor sigil]

o

Whats ur transition duration

[swift falcon]

The chunks are logged with their positions

[swift falcon]

What's that :(

[minor sigil]

talking to him

[swift falcon]

oh

[minor sigil]

So you have a dictionary, Vector2, Chunk

right?

[swift falcon]

Yeah

Do dictionaries slow down if they have more elements

[minor sigil]

and you get the chunk by Dictionary.get(vector2 coord)

or do you loop through it

[narrow kite]

how to stop the Walk animation?

[swift falcon]

Yeah

[minor sigil]

which

o

[swift falcon]

The one I've replied to

[minor sigil]

And the only thing you do is set it to active? like the only line you have is gameObject.setactive(true/false);?

[swift falcon]

Yes

[minor sigil]

we not der yet

did u fix other problem

[narrow kite]

idk what is der

wait a sec

listen

i will let you help steve

i think you are overwhelmed

[minor sigil]

In your update funtion add, animator.SetBool("isWalking", isWalking);

[narrow kite]

ok

[minor sigil]

I think other stuff is being called

lag isn't just caused by 1 thing

Especially if your not looping through something

Hard to say without looking at the code, best I could say, not trying to be rude, but code more efficient , think of a more efficient way to do what your trying to do. all apart of coding

[narrow kite]

all i want to do is stop and animation, is there something like animator.Stop() or something?

[minor sigil]

I would watch a yt video to learn more about animators

There is a .stop

but like

[narrow kite]

nvm i fixed

[minor sigil]

Animations are usually done in animator, you can control it by code, but most of it is done in the actual animator

[swift falcon]

ugh. you're.

[minor sigil]

I know, but its true

Like the reason there is difference in indie vs triple a games

[swift falcon]

Wait sorry no I'm calling a Chunk.Unload() function

[minor sigil]

What is done in that?

[swift falcon]

Which has two lines

[minor sigil]

Also

how many chunks are you trying to load at a time

That could also be the issue

[swift falcon]

gameobject.setactive(false)

[minor sigil]

Also lods

[swift falcon]

And isloaded = false

[minor sigil]

its just a lag spike right? not constant lag

And are you loading the new one before unloading the old one?

[swift falcon]

It's 2(renderdistance)²

guys where to ask about material issues ?

[swift falcon]

Spike

[swift falcon]

Unload first

[minor sigil]

art channels

[swift falcon]

thx

[minor sigil]

I don't know what exactly is causing it since i dont have your code, but if its a spike its something being called during those functions

Check everything that is called when a new chunk is loaded and unloaded

[swift falcon]

Is there a gameobject.isactive thing

[minor sigil]

yes

[swift falcon]

oh okay

[narrow kite]

how the fuck am i supposed to stop animation

[minor sigil]

.selfActive

[minor sigil]

Please watch a video or listen to me

[narrow kite]

ok

i prefer watching video

[swift falcon]

Why not ChatGPT

[minor sigil]

chatgpt is only good if you know how to code

Because its not copy and paste ready

It gives you an idea of how to do it, not copy and paste tho

[swift falcon]

ChatGPT is refusing huge code blocks

[minor sigil]

wym

like they wont write them?

[swift falcon]

It just freezes when i give it a huge code block

[minor sigil]

lol i never tried sending it code

[swift falcon]

Yeah I mean that's what I do

[swift falcon]

It can debug stuff

[minor sigil]

Ah

[woeful leaf]

I'd not advise ChatGPT

[minor sigil]

I find chatgpt very sketchy

[left narwhal]

chatgpt is useful

if you know how to use it

[minor sigil]

Its owned by microsoft, but why were they hiding that they were the owners of it?

[swift falcon]

i mean what do you have to lose

[minor sigil]

They take a lot of ur info

[woeful leaf]

It being against the rules

[minor sigil]

a shit ton of ur info

[left narwhal]

...

theyre partners

[swift falcon]

well you really just need an OpenAI account
You're not gonna get hacked relax

[left narwhal]

not owned by microsoft

[minor sigil]

They are under the microsoft corp

[left narwhal]

owned by elon musk

[minor sigil]

So

Is it not made by azure?

Im almost certain it is

Azuregpt

[left narwhal]

false

[swift falcon]

"Don't answer questions with AI"
not
"Don't ask AI for help"

[left narwhal]

no

azure offers openai as a service

[woeful leaf]

Yeah but if you apply the "fix" of the AI and then ask why it still doesn't work then you violate the rule

[minor sigil]

Which is what chatgpt is on

this is coding

go to an art channel

[woeful leaf]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[oblique spoke]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenAI

[swift falcon]

sorry man

[left narwhal]

i dont think you understand

[minor sigil]

I dont fully understand it

But I know its built off azure

[left narwhal]

no

openai and microsoft are partners

theyre not ran by the same people

[quaint rock]

many many things use azure

[left narwhal]

thats like saying

[minor sigil]

I know but microsoft has a say in what they do

If they are partners

[left narwhal]

openai is built using intellij or whatever

or visual studio

so theyre microsoft

[left narwhal]

more like friends

[minor sigil]

They are openai top investor

[left narwhal]

openai is its own company that microsoft invests into

[minor sigil]

by farrrr

they own them*

[left narwhal]

???

[minor sigil]

Not actually owners

[left narwhal]

i dont think you know what owning means

[minor sigil]

But with the money they have into them

Not actually owner

and i dont wanna get political

but when you have that much money into something

your gonna have a say

[woeful leaf]

Just because they sponsor it doesn't mean you own it

[oblique spoke]

Probably best to stick to coding

[swift falcon]

Do you guys use vscode, vs or smth else entirely

[left narwhal]

[swift falcon]

Same

[quaint rock]

they have multiple lead investors MS is only one of them

[minor sigil]

Also

microsoft is speculated to add chatgpt to bing

[swift falcon]

IDE's are for babies

[swift falcon]

ew

[minor sigil]

So its not like they are just throwing money at openai for free

[minor sigil]

not ew

that will be a game changer for search engines

[woeful leaf]

If they do that it genuinely might compete with Google

[minor sigil]

See

[woeful leaf]

The search engine, not Google as a whole

[minor sigil]

I dont think anything will compete with google

everyone knows its shit

but everyone still uses it

not everyone, but most

[quaint rock]

it will be terrible for search engines actually, results are useless unless sources can be cited chatGPT can not provide sources

[swift falcon]

ChatGPT can't even do math

[minor sigil]

chatgpt they could literally give u a personalized assistant for your computer

[quaint rock]

also this is all off topic

SiriGPT

[woeful leaf]

That is true

[minor sigil]

Right now no, but it def would be easy to add

[subtle herald]

[swift falcon]

ChatGPT tried to tell me 0.2 repeating+ 0.8 repeating = 1

[quaint rock]

why would you use it for that

[subtle herald]

I mean, it'll tell you the right thing if you make sure it understands what you want or are doing first.

[quaint rock]

like i am not for chatGPT but that is a poster child case of wrong tool for the job

[subtle herald]

It knows +=

[minor sigil]

We are a LONG way for adding chatgpt to search engines though

Right now it is using data from 2021 i think?

[swift falcon]

ChatGPT can write plays

They're fun

[minor sigil]

we would have to make it constantly learn new things

like, everytime something is uploaded to the internet

it would know

[swift falcon]

It thinks queen elizabeth is alive

[minor sigil]

which is honestly a security issue

[subtle herald]

And you can't do that while it's online. For obvious reasons lol

[minor sigil]

WAIT LMAO

[swift falcon]

YEAH

[simple egret]

Please move the conversation elsewhere before the mod comes back to hit you on your head

[minor sigil]

I tried too everyone came back here

[swift falcon]

okay okay wait

Let's just leave

[sacred glen]

Is there a good way to start a shell command asynchronously, and pipe the output back to unity as it happens?

[covert shard]

i want to talk with someone about the ads with mediation in unity and technically my problem isnt with scripting, who should i contact?

[prime sinew]

maybe just ask in #archived-unity-gaming-services

[fossil moat]

I still have no idea how to do that i'll have to look into it, thank you !

[bleak mountain]

hi i used this code [Header("Keybinds")] public KeyCode jumpKey = KeyCode.Space; to make it so i jump on the space bar but the code isint jumping here is the link to the code https://codeshare.io/WdVy78

[quaint rock]

add some logging figure out what the code is actually doing vs what you expect it to do

confirm its actually getting into the condition to jump

[bleak mountain]

ohh someone just change the things in the link ill paste it into a new link where people cant edit it ig

[bleak mountain]

and howd i do that?

bruh dont click that link no more

[woeful leaf]

Don't cross post

[swift falcon]

Mathf.PerlinNoise keeps printing the same value

[quaint rock]

are you adjusting its inputs, it called with the same coord as before gives the same output

[bleak mountain]

sorry it took some time in the beginner so i just typer here but ill go back to beginner thingy

[woeful leaf]

Patience is key :p

[bleak mountain]

yea mb

bruh

[woeful leaf]

And if it does take a while feel free to bump it up in the same chat, but don't move it to another chat

If you're worried about it getting buried, you can always create a thread

[bleak mountain]

oke i wasent sure if that was allowed ive been iin other discords where you shoundt bumb

bruh someone does it again

ig ill just put the code in here so people cant edit

[woeful leaf]

Just use a paste site that people cannot edit

[woeful leaf]

I mean it's in the #854851968446365696 ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bleak mountain]

im trying to find it

yea

oke this one i dont think people can edit this 1

https://gdl.space/usatowelak.cs

[lucid valley]

well it looks like readyToJump is false and isnt set to true initially

private bool readyToJump = true; try that

[bleak mountain]

ahh that was the problem

thanks very much

[woeful leaf]

Would this be a bad way to do thing? Like should it be a switch case or should it be something else?

        switch (gameObject.tag)
        {
            case "Bad":
                switch (collision.gameObject.tag)
                {
                    case "Bad":
                        ScoreUI.OnAnswer(ScoreUI.AnswerType.Correct, passwordDrop.good++);
                        break;
                    case "Good":
                        ScoreUI.OnAnswer(ScoreUI.AnswerType.Incorrect, passwordDrop.bad++);
                        break;
                }
                break;
                
            case "Good":
                switch (collision.gameObject.tag)
                {
                    case "Bad":
                        ScoreUI.OnAnswer(ScoreUI.AnswerType.Incorrect, passwordDrop.bad++);
                        break;

                    case "Good":
                        ScoreUI.OnAnswer(ScoreUI.AnswerType.Correct, passwordDrop.good++);
                        break;
                }
                break;
        }

Basically you can drop an item into a box, which can be good or bad, and it has to match the good or bad of the box

Hence the double switch cases

[prime sinew]

bool isCorrect = gameObject.tag == collision.gameObject.tag;
ScoreUI.OnAnswer(isCorrect? ScoreUI.AnswerType.Correct:ScoreUI.AnswerType.Incorrect, isCorrect? passwordDrop.good++:passwordDrop.bad++);

that's what I would do. No need for the switch case at all

[lucid valley]

it's bad in the way you shouldnt compare tags like that

[woeful leaf]

Why?

Due to the .CompareTag reason?

[lucid valley]

yup

[leaden solstice]

Tags are bad by itself

No expandability or maintainability

[lucid valley]

bool isCorrect = gameObject.CompareTag(collision.gameObject.tag);
ScoreUI.OnAnswer(isCorrect ? ScoreUI.AnswerType.Correct : ScoreUI.AnswerType.Incorrect, 
                    isCorrect ? passwordDrop.good++ : passwordDrop.bad++);

[quaint rock]

i would also take the switch over double nesting a ternary for readability

[prime sinew]

I just focus on avoiding comparing hardcoded strings

[quaint rock]

but this type of cases in a real codebase i would almost always handle with interfaces and TryGetComponent

[prime sinew]

I'd just pass in the isCorrect bool to OnAnswer and avoid the ternary altogether

let OnAnswer handle the inner logic, since they both rely on the same isCorrect bool

[woeful leaf]

OnAnswer doesn't accept bool though

It's an enum with 4 cases

But they do not need to be in the Switch case in this case

[prime sinew]

the pattern I see here is just that if the gameObject.tag and collision.gameObject tag matches, then it'll always use Correct, and add good

since it's the same for both "Bad" and "Good" tags, OnAnswer doesnt really need to be passed in all that logic

it's going to do A when the tags match, and do B when they don't match.

[woeful leaf]

I suppose yeah, thanks for the insight

[prime sinew]

you're welcome. this was a fun exercise

[leaden solstice]

And it is confusing that your tag "Bad" and passwordDrop.bad does not seems to relevant

Rename one or both

[prime sinew]

passwordDrop.bad should probably be passwordDrop.incorrect

[woeful leaf]

Yeah still working on the naming of these things

[leaden solstice]

Also renaming tag is messy, that's another reason why you should not use tags

[woeful leaf]

That's fair but it's not a giant project or anything, so I think it's fine to use it here

I'm probably like 80% done if not more

I don't really have the time to make a sophisticated system for it

[swift falcon]

Sorry for taking a million years, yes the inputs are definitely changing

[jaunty needle]

I know this isn't necessarily a coding problem but how do I add starts to the background the scale when I zoom in or out? I need it to be dynamic because I can't just have thousands of stars on a scene at any moment

[woeful leaf]

#📲┃ui-ux

[jaunty needle]

Thing is I want this in the actual game itself

Not just the main menu

[quaint rock]

fake it

have a few layers of textures for stars then a few particles on top

[narrow kite]

there is no "Is Walking" and "Isn't Walking" in console, also animations doesn't play. what i did wrong?

[quaint rock]

looks like you are not ever calling Animation

[narrow kite]

then how to call it?

oh wait

i think i know how

im fuckin dumb

thx man

also does someone know how to adjust thumbstick dead zone? i changed it in project settings but it doesnt really change anything

im using new input system

[woeful leaf]

#🖱️┃input-system

[narrow kite]

ok

[long fox]

What’s the best way to learn vr coding

[woeful leaf]

Time and effort

And just begin with the basics

So the pins in #💻┃code-beginner will do

[long fox]

Il trying to say like where can I start learning it yk

Because when I type on YouTube etc not many come up 🤣

[woeful leaf]

Do you know the basics of Unity and C#?

[long fox]

Yas

[woeful leaf]

Well google around for courses and such I suppose

Just start messing about in a project see what works and what doesn't

Doing is the best way to learn

[karmic bloom]

Can we change the default speaker mode in script? I tried AudioSettings.speakerMode - but that just returns the active mode
