i will lose the changes

leaden ice
#

stop using an instance material - that is not the asset you want to change. Change the actual asset you want to change.

vestal crest
#

like dude think me of an artist i am playing the game and material is instance (dont tell me dont use instance, think of as this is the situation). while i am playing i want to change the material then i change of its color. when i stopped playing i dont want to copy material then find the actual material and paste it. i want to save the changes when i exit of play mode

leaden ice
#

You cannot modify assets that are part of the build

vestal crest
#

no

#

i want to do it in editor

leaden ice
#

save the new asset

#

fix the references

vestal crest
#

imagine 20 prefabs use that material now i have to reference each of them

#

thats why i want to merge / override that asset

#

without losing the reference

leaden ice
#

serialize the material to json, and deserialize into the original

#

oh actually

vestal crest
#

thanks ill try it as soon as im available

Hi all!

I’m creating a class to divide my terrain into a grid and store information about each cell. I have created a scriptable object to save this data in and I am trying save it to the instance of the class it is from by setting a variable in the class to it. But when I press stop the variable resets.

The idea is that the first time it runs it will generate a grid and save it to the scriptable object but the second time I want it to know it already has the object and load it from memory. What is the best way to do this?

I've considered checking the file path but I would much rather it was just stored with the class. Is this possible?

leaden ice
#

what does this mean?

#

Is this a Roblox thing?

#

or are we talking about networking?

#

Depending on what your actual use case is you want either a Transform or a Matrix4x4

#

Without further context, you most likely are thinking of Transform

#

but Unity doesn't work like Roblox

#

Transforms are full-fledged components attached to GameObjects

#

they are not just "properties"

#

what is a "workspace"?

#

ok well

#

that's not a thing in Unity

#

maybe "Scene"?

#

but scenes cannot directly have "values"

#

they only contain GameObjects

#

If you just want a basic general purpose data type that can just contain position/rotation data you could use Matrix4x4 or make your own struct

#

Matrix4x4 also contains scale information (as does Transform)

#

wdym by this

#

You are wrong

vestal crest
leaden ice
#

GameObjects are "just identities". Transforms are components on GameObjects which contain position/rotation/scale and parent/child relationship data.

leaden ice
#

??

#

Transforms are "actual components in the world"

vestal crest
leaden ice
#

on actual GameObjects, in the game world

#

The only things that are "visible" in Unity are Renderers

#

Unity breaks its objects down into various components

#

the visible components are Renderers

simple egret
leaden ice
#

they render things

simple egret
#

Pretty much the same thing you said in the other channel

leaden ice
#

"is it visible" is a bad definition of "does it exist". Physics bodies in Unity are also not directly visible. Nonetheless they interact with each other and are physically simulated just the same.

simple egret
#

Nothing of this is related to logic or syntax

leaden ice
#

they exist in the world

#

the world is and always has been imaginary

#

it's a video game

vestal crest
leaden ice
#

yes

#

Every GameObject has a Transform

#

every Transform is attached to a GameObject (as all Components are)

#

Transform is special in that it is the only Component every GameObject has

#

the Transform defines the center point of the GameObject

#

you saw it incorrectly

#

there is no other "center" to base from

#

Every other component uses the Transform position as the position/pivot of the GameObject

#

Aren't you brand new to Unity anyway? How long could "always" have been?

#

A couple days?

Hi again, I asked about this earlier and ended up finding out that I can't get scriptable objects to save during a pre build process, the code below seems to work fine when called on a normal monobehaviour however not during preprocessing. My guess is that the result of SetDirty does not get called during the build steps. Is there a better way to save these values? Will using serialised properties work? Or is there a specific way I should be interacting with SO with for saving during the build phase?

public class BuildVersion : IPreprocessBuildWithReport
{
    public int callbackOrder => 0;
    
    public void OnPreprocessBuild(BuildReport report)
    {
        int version = PlayerSettings.Android.bundleVersionCode;
        BuildInformationSO buildInformation = Resources.Load<BuildInformationSO>("[1][ Object Data ]/[ Scriptable Objects ]/[ Build Information Asset ]");
        
        buildInformation.SetAndroidBuildVersionCode(version);
        EditorUtility.SetDirty(buildInformation);
        
        Debug.Log($" <color=#00AA99>§»</color> Build Version: {version}");
    }
}```

Wdym? It will be an object that has a collider that acts as a boundary

leaden ice
#

there are only GameObjects

simple echo
leaden ice
#

then attach the collider you want

simple echo
leaden ice
#

if that's what you want

#

you will need at least 4 of them

#

to form the boundaries

simple echo
#

oh

simple echo
leaden ice
#

you can do all kinds of things to the code

#

If you want real boundaries for your Rigidbodies you need colliders

#

presumably if this is meant to be the screen boundaries you'll eventually want to write code that positions the colliders properly to fit the screen.

Hi, I have a RectTransform that keeps it's position, even though the screen dimension change. How could I make it so that position adapts to the display format, thanks!

image.png
simple egret
#

Change its anchoring preset from the Rect Transform's Inspector

elfin tree
#

I think I set it's pivot already, that should be it?

simple egret
#

Depends on what's needed

#

Stretch so it fills its container object?

elfin tree
#

Yeah okay, I was just looking at the wrong thing..

image.png
#

rect wont change but position does

#

so yeah should be the right thing, just need to make it work somehow

#

cause right now it doesnt

#

at least position changes a bit

simple egret
#

Also log the .anchoredPosition.

versed marsh
#

yo i have this script that rotates an object from a joystick axis and i was wondering if there's a simple way to smoothen out the rotation, because atm it just sets the transform.right to the input vector which is very sudden

image.png
elfin tree
simple egret
#

Yeah it's the position of the object relative to its anchoring preset

hexed pecan
simple egret
#

Show how said preset is done from the Inspector

versed marsh
elfin tree
simple egret
#

Middle-Center

#

It won't stretch to fill its container

#

Click that square and stretch both axes

hexed pecan
#

Probably works better for what you want

elfin tree
simple egret
#

Probably yes. Stretching makes the position and size relative to the borders of the container (if there's no container, it's your Canvas).
You will be able to add some margins if you want, once stretched these will change to say Top/Bottom/Left/Right

image.png
elfin tree
#

Okay, I will play around with that then, so I should probably align it in inspector first and then use margins if needed?

simple egret
#

You can use Ctrl or Alt, to also set the object's position while you change the anchoring. The keybinds will be displayed when you click that square

elfin tree
#

Yeah, I guess you meant Shift, will have some experimenting to do then!

simple egret
elfin tree
#

@simple egret Yeah, after testing a bit, it doesn't seem like with using RectTransform will work for a 3D object, I think calculating a position using the screen dimensions will probably make more sense, still not a 100% sure though.

#

But the object always moves out of position, it never keeps the same relative on screen position.

final lotus
#

How do I make it so that Unity can ask the user for permissions to their microphone? For my game I need to use DictationRecognizer.

simple egret
#

Also if you Instantiate the object make sure you use the overload that takes in a parent Transform. Avoid setting the parent afterwards, because it will change the position to adapt it to the parent

tame urchin
#

I know you can set up default references to prefabs for scripts in the unity editor, but is there a way to use those values with addcomponent at runtime?

#

add a component with references already set up?

plain coyote
#

sounds really basic, but is there a simple way to change a prefab's textmeshpro in the editor?

#

I have a prefab from an existing project I want to reuse, but I just want to change the text inside it.

vagrant blade
#

Open the prefab, change it like any component.

#

Also not a coding question

plain coyote
plain coyote
plain coyote
simple egret
#

Just open the prefab by double-clicking it, it will appear in the Scene View
Select the object with the Text on it, and change its properties in the Inspector

plain coyote
#

@simple egret
Thanks,
I tested with new prefab it works,
seems like the old used something other than textmeshpro

tepid river
#

i have split my complex objects into a bunch (40) smaller, convex parts and put 40 meshcolliders onto the object.
but it doesnt work, object has no collision. any idea why?

leaden ice
tepid river
#

well phsyics collision with another collider. bouncing off stuff

leaden ice
#

Where is the Rigidbody?

tepid river
#

on the parent

leaden ice
#

You need a Rigidbody to get physical interactions

leaden ice
#

Steamrunner_colliders?

shut ridge
#

I need to build a visual studio class library to unity to export a nuget package without using 3rd party resources. How would I do this?

tepid river
#

haha alright, found the issue. my collider mesh gets scaled 10 times bigger or something and i had gizmos disabled, so didnt notice

leaden ice
#

Yes colliders are subject to Transform scaling

tepid river
#

correction: for whatever reason the renderers transform is at 0.11 scale after import

leaden ice
#

Renderers are also subject to Transform scaling 😉

I've got a dice rolling game. In my game, I want 3d rendered dice to roll in the 2d UI, so what I'm doing is parenting a camera object to a dice object and then sending the output of that camera to a Render Texture that's on my UI. This works perfectly for 1 die - but if I want to track any number of die, each with their own camera, when I create a prefab, each instance of that prefab has that same initial Render Texture, so each display on the UI is the same die, I assume because whichever camera instance writes to the render texture last each frame is the one that 'sticks'. Is there a way I can have any number of cameras projecting onto different textures at runtime?

How do people deal with pooled objects in terms of releasing back to the pool? Do you make them aware that they are pooled?
I once solved this by letting the user write Game.Instantiate()/Destroy which checked with some static if it's part of any pool and use appropriate create/release method. But this kind of approach requires everyone on the project to follow that pattern.
I like the idea of the genericness that you could add a Pool into the scene to reference a prefab and it will handle it behind the scene, but then again you would need to support pooled logic, e.g. use OnEnable/OnDisable for startup/cleanup so you already create some "dependency" between allowing pooling.

im getting issues with my build that arent showing up in the editor playtest, how could i mitigate these? and why might they happen? for example, my players arm rotates slightly wrong compared to the actual build?

hollow stone
rustic rain
#

i dont see how that would help, its not actually an error

hollow stone
#

You never know util you check 😅

rustic rain
#

do you see what im talking about here?

#

when the thing does right above or below tthe player it flashes up briefly

hollow stone
#

Possibly something to do with framerate.

rustic rain
#

but in the editor it works perfectly fine

hollow stone
#

You've only experienced slow frame rate in the editor, and when you run the build you have higher framerate which causes your update loop run more then your fixed update for example.

rustic rain
#

i mean its going quite fast

image.png
hollow stone
#

That's one potential issue. You can start do logs in different part of your code and then build and try to pinpoint where it fails.

rustic rain
#

okay, will try this, thank you!

#

any other ideas?

hollow stone
#

I cannot solve this kind of issue with not seeing code. But I think you can try some debugging steps first^^

#

how i can load the shader from a assetbundle with script?

im trying to load

#

a .shader in the assetbundle

somber steeple
somber nacelle
#

yes

#

you're subscribing to events every frame. when the event is invoked each separate time you subscribed to the event will invoke that method

somber steeple
#

Let's say I have a rock I am trying to push off a cliff to the ground. I don't want the player to be able to move cause it's an endless runner until the rock hits the ground. If I subscribe in the awake function of the player script instead of the update one, it won't work when I spawn more PushableWall object in gametime. Here is the pushable wall script https://hatebin.com/tadsjqkiyv

somber nacelle
#

your event doesn't appear to rely on specific instances or anything like that so you could make it static, then you only need to subscribe to it one time total. either that or every time a new wall is spawned you subscribe to the event on that object

somber steeple
#

Wait, it worked? thanks, could you explain why it work?

I'm trying to have a meteor explode into several chunks when destroyed. The chunks can have one of multiple possible textures, which will be assigned randomly. My idea was to use the particle system for this, by manually emitting one particle, then changing the material and repeating a certain amount of times, but changing the material for one chunk changes it for all of them. Is trying to use the particle system the right idea for this? (Unity 2D).

What I would do is make your dice prefab have N children, with each transform on one of the sides. Then check which transform is the highest.

I know its a bit of an odd aproach, but you could load the game up into a setup scene, and then additivly load the new scene

it would be strange to me if that were true and something like an initialise on load script wouldn't be sufficient

That way the object you need is already in the scene as you can create it before loading the new one.

scenes don't do anything particularly special here though, if you're additively loading a scene on startup you might as well just put it in a prefab and instantiate it - I feel like the idea it must be in a scene at editor time is an incorrect assumption?

hollow stone

How do people deal with pooled objects in terms of releasing back to the pool? Do you make them aware that they are pooled?
I once solved this by letting the user write Game.Instantiate()/Destroy which checked with some static if it's part of any pool and use appropriate create/release method. But this kind of approach requires everyone on the project to follow that pattern.
I like the idea of the genericness that you could add a Pool into the scene to reference a prefab and it will handle it behind the scene, but then again you would need to support pooled logic, e.g. use OnEnable/OnDisable for startup/cleanup so you already create some "dependency" between allowing pooling.

why when i destroy an object, the child count doesn't show the correct amount?

image.png
#

the debug.log shows the wrong amount

#

but it goes down everytime

#

so i had to change some code to stop deleting when the spell queue has 1 spell left instead of 0

#

which seems odd that its doing that lol

Objects are destroyed at the end of the frame

ah okay

how do i get the correct amount before the end of the frame?

@wintry crescent I ended up getting the 2d array setup for my tile grid. Thanks for the point in the right direction: ``` void SetTileData()
{
tileData = new TileData[baseTileMap.size.x, baseTileMap.size.y];

    for (int x = baseTileMap.size.x, i = 0; i < (baseTileMap.size.x); x++, i++)
    {
        for (int y = baseTileMap.size.y, j = 0; j < (baseTileMap.size.y); y++, j++)
        {

            tileData[i, j] = new TileData(); //sets the tile in the 2D array to the object


            Vector3Int vect =  new Vector3Int(i - Mathf.Abs(baseTileMap.origin.x), j - Mathf.Abs(baseTileMap.origin.y), 0);

            // if there is a tile this sets the data
            if (baseTileMap.GetTile(vect)) 
            {
                tileData[i, j].TileName = baseTileMap.GetTile(vect).name;

                if (baseTileMap.GetTile(vect).name == "Grass")

Hi, I'm working on a asymmetrical PC/Android-VR project and I have this piece of code that works just fine on PC but won't work on Android, my GameObject is never found and I don't understand why.. Is GameObject.Find() broken on Android platform?

    GameObject leftWrist;

    private void Update()
    {
        if (!leftWrist && GameObject.Find("Left Wrist"))
        {
            leftWrist = GameObject.Find("Left Wrist");
            Debug.Log("Left Wrist found !");
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log("Left Wrist not found !");
        }

        if (leftWrist)
        {
            Debug.Log(leftWrist.transform.position);
            gameObject.transform.localPosition = leftWrist.transform.position;
            gameObject.transform.localRotation = leftWrist.transform.rotation;
        }
    }

Likely just a script execution order issue or something though

#

regarding the rotation of the arm, it flips for like a single frame

#

i've had this issue since i started this project and i want to try and finally put it to rest

#

here is the code, labeled with the arm and player code

#

if anyone could provide insight that would be much appreceiated

tardy agate
tardy agate
#

could just make a public variable tho, that would also work

leaden ice
wild nebula
#

If that script is useless without the wrist, it should be constructed when the wrist is initialized anyways.

dusk apex
tardy agate
#

The thing is, the wrist is spawned in a ServerRpc, so I suppose the best choice would be to make leftWrist into a NetworkVariable and set its data directly in my spawning Rpc

dusk apex
#

Place a debug log in the other object to print that it's been successfully instantiated etc

#

If the other object does not exist, this function would not be at fault.

tardy agate
dusk apex
tardy agate
#

the problem probably comes from the fact these joints are instantiated in a ServerRpc, and only work on PC as it is the server

dusk apex
#

I'm implying that the problem lies elsewhere and that Find works as it should.

tardy agate
#

I'll have to see that tomorrow unfortunately, I'll keep it updated, but you're right I'll investigate on that @dusk apex

rustic rain
wild nebula
#

That looks like it would flip y rotation as well, maybe that's why the hand flips up? Idk.

rustic rain
#

did you look at the code?

#

oh wiat

#

hold on let me try

wild nebula
#

Wait I thought the transform is flipped with FlipSprite() method, but it isn't used.

rustic rain
#

that does this now

wild nebula
#

That's a really cool pose 😂

#

Love it, keep it as feature

rustic rain
#

haha

#

maybe i could use flip sprite or something?

#

idk tho

wild nebula
#

I would use SpriteRenderer.flipX = toggle;

#

Since usually messing with transform scale isn't recommended

rustic rain
#

flipsprite doesnt work, it only seems to flip the sprite but none of the children

wild nebula
#

Cache the children as well

rustic rain
#

cache in what sense

sorry im a bit confused by what you mean

i used scale because it meant that all the children locations moved accordingly

wild nebula
# rustic rain game logic object and actor?

Yeah, like this.

└── Player/
    ├── Model/
    │   ├── Base
    │   ├── Hand/
    │   │   └── Weapon
    │   └── Feet
    ├── Other Stuff
    └── Other Stuff

So whatever you do in the graphic side, wouldn't interfere with the gameplay.
Like scaling transform have a lot of issues.

I have a parent gameobject called Parent, and a child that is a button. Is it possible to set the button's onClick() method to a method in the script attached as a component to the Parent?

wild nebula
#

Just cache all sprite renderer and flip them.

class Actor : MonoBehaviour
{
  private SpriteRenderer _hand;
  private SpriteRenderer _body;

  private void FlipSprite(bool toggle)
  {
    _hand.FlipY = toggle;
    _body.FlipX = toggle;
  }
}

Because when I drag the parent gameobject (which has the script attached as a component) to the button's onclick I see the correct script listed, but not the correct functions within the script.

I'm trying to find all ScriptableObject assets in my project that implement a certain interface. Since interfaces can't (and probably shouldn't be able to) be serialized, this is the workaround I've come up with. It's not pretty though. It uses Resources.LoadAll<>(), casting and null checks. Does anyone have another suggestion? https://pastebin.com/0tk4tVN8

I read about it, its very interesting

#

using () {}

leaden ice
# wild nebula Wait how does this work? I've been disposing them manually, any samples?

Old syntax:

using (NativeArray<Something> arr = new NativeArray<Something>(blah blah)) {
  // do things using the NativeArray here
} // after this closing bracket, it will be disposed automatically, even if there's an exception or error inside.```
New syntax:
```cs
using NativeArray<Something> arr = new NativeArray<Something>(blah blah);
// Do things with the NativeArray here...
// after `arr` falls out of scope, it will be disposed automatically

If you are creating and disposing the collection in the same scope, you should always prefer using over manually disposing since:

  • it shows clear intention better
  • there's no risk of a logical error or exception leading to un-disposed collection

Also note that using works for any type that implements IDisposable
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/using-statement

using statement - C# Reference
#

also for network connections

#

again - anything that implements IDisposable

dusk apex
#

I like the old syntax if I'd want to ensure that the object is release sometime before the end of the method scope - although I've found little to no practical uses so far.

#

New syntax aligns well with less indentation - a good thing in-itself.

Hey guys! I'm coding an Inventory System and a doubt showed up.

this is all im using for the instance.

 private struct InventoryEntry
    {
        public ItemSO item;
        public int stackAmount;
    };
    
    private Dictionary<int, InventoryEntry> items;

  public void AddItem(ItemSO item, int qnt)
    {
        int entryIndex = GetFirstFreeIndex(item);

        if (entryIndex > 0)
        {
            //then we have a free slot for this item in our inventory
            InventoryEntry entry = items[entryIndex];
            //whenever we can add to an entry without any problem
            if (entry.stackAmount + qnt < item.maxStackQnt)
            {
                entry.stackAmount += qnt;
                return;
            }
           
            int amountToAdd = item.maxStackQnt - entry.stackAmount;
            int leftover = qnt - amountToAdd;
            entry.stackAmount = item.maxStackQnt;
            AddItem(item, leftover);
        }
        //eighter we don't have a free space in the inventory, or we dont have the item. eighter case we need to create a new entry
        CreateNewEntry(item, qnt);
    }

whenever i do

InventoryEntry entry = items[entryIndex];

am I copying item[entryIndex] and then changing the copy on the rest of the function or am I changing whats inside of my dictionary?

leaden ice
leaden ice
#

because InventoryEntry is a struct

#

changes to that copy will not affect what's in the Dictionary

#

unless/until you copy it back in explicitly

orchid bane
magic harness
#

my fears have become reality then

leaden ice
magic harness
#

i should make it into a class right

#

yeah

#

any idea on what would be more efficient?

#

copying back will use CPU power while class will use more ram right?

leaden ice
#

it depends on the access pattern, but if you are frequently fectching these things from the Dictionary, modifying them,. copying them back, etc, a class can be much faster

#

The class is passed around by a single pointer. The struct has to be copied completely each time (though it is only one pointer plus an int so not that much bigger than a pointer)

magic harness
#

yeah, makes sense. also if my inventories grow it will get increasingly slower

leaden ice
#

On the other hand if you are frequently creating and discarding these objects, the class has the potential to be slower because the instances will have to be allocated on the heap and later garbage collected

#

so - it depends 😉

jovial spear
#

if I set the enabled variable inside my scritp to false, does the OnDisable() be called?

leaden ice
#

assuming the script was previously enabled

magic harness
#

yeah... i might just call

  items[entryIndex] = entry;

after any change it should be good. Right? No need to copy the entire dictionary

I wonder why TransformAccess in IJobParallelForTransform is not using the high performance maths.

#

Vector3, Quaternion

leaden ice
#

it's supposed to feel like working with a regular Transform

wild nebula
#

But its used in a job, and the old Vector3/Quaternion cannot be bursted right?

leaden ice
#

I'm not sure how true that statement is 🤔

#

But maybe

#

If that's the case I guess Unity took the tradeoff of a more familiar API over performance

leaden ice
#

at worst then there's one copy of the data from those types to the burstable types

wild nebula
#

Like if you access transformAccess.rotation.eulerAngles, it uses the old lib

leaden ice
#

yes

wild nebula

I also believe TransformAccess predates the general availability of Unity.Mathematics somewhat, so that may have played into the decision as well.

float4 q = transform.rotation;``` might just work
#

I know

quaternion q = transform.rotation;``` works
wild nebula
#

Haha, but I will need to access q.value.x q.value.z q.value.w q.value.y individually

#

For calculating pitch

#

That's 4x accessing q.value

leaden ice
wild nebula
#

I guess accessing the field is better than double casting

# 
quaternion q = transform.rotation;

float pitch = math.degrees(math.asin(-2.0f * (q.value.x * q.value.z - q.value.w * q.value.y)));
leaden ice

devout solstice
#

Is there a way to run a method from a different script without having to reference the script, for example a method called add, is there a way i could call the method in a different script just by putting Add instead of having to do Script.Add

simple egret
#

There's a way if the method is static, otherwise nope

#

Could make an Add() method in this script, that just calls the Add method of the other script

# 
private void Add() => other.Add();
devout solstice
#

So i could if i just made the method static?

devout solstice
simple egret
#

Know the complications of making things static, though

#

They cannot reference non-static members anymore

devout solstice
#

I was tryna see if there was a way without having to add anything else to the script though, just calling the method and that’s it

#

What about unitys methods

#

You don’t gotta reference the unity script for those

simple egret
#

You mean like Vector3.Lerp() for example?

devout solstice
#

yea

simple egret
#

Sure thing, these are static methods so you can just plug a using static UnityEngine.Vector3; at the top

devout solstice
#

ah damn

simple egret
#

Then you can just call Lerp()

devout solstice
#

I think it should be alright if the method im thinking of is static

#

I don’t see why i’d have more then one instance of it

cloud smelt
#

Could someone give me some advice on the best way to hold all of my possible items. I need a way to say "Add this item to the inventory" Only way I could think of was to manually add each scriptable object into a list and use the ID to add them

devout solstice
#

definitely not

#

that’s possibly the worst way, i use a raycast to detect what item it is the players trying to pickup

simple egret
#

I don't think that's their question

devout solstice
#

maybe not

simple egret
#

It's more like

How can I reference all my ScriptableObjects that are in my Assets, from code

devout solstice
#

why though

simple egret
#

For an item list, like the question says

#

Think Minecraft's creative inventory

devout solstice
#

yea i don’t see how that’d be helpful for a inventory

#

oh

#

idk how to reference assets

simple egret
#

They can be put in a Resources folder and be loaded in with a Resources.LoadAll call

cloud smelt
#

Yeah so I have a list of items, and I want to be able to dynamically say "Grass" or whatever

simple egret
#

You can build a map, that maps object names to the asset

cloud smelt
#

At the moment I just have an array but I have to know the ID and then the moment the array moves around everything breaks.

#

Gotcha

simple egret
#

Look into Dictionary<string, T>, where T is your ScriptableObject type

#

You populate it once when the game starts, then you can index it like arrays, but using a string

cloud smelt
#

So I could use a resources folder, load in all the items using LoadAll and then put them into a dictionary with a string as the key?

simple egret
#

Precisely

cloud smelt
#

Cool, thanks a bunch. Been stuck for a while thought it was a silly question 🙂

# devout solstice what

for example:

        Debug.Log(HoveredObject.collider.GetComponent<RestrictedSlot>().IsObject);
        if (HoveredObject.collider.GetComponent<RestrictedSlot>().IsObject)
        {
            RestrictedSlotType.Add(HoveredObject.collider.gameObject, HoveredObject.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<RestrictedSlot>().SlotType);
            ItemType = RestrictedSlotType[HoveredObject.collider.gameObject].ToString();
            Debug.Log(RestrictedSlotType[HoveredObject.collider.gameObject].ToString());
        }
        
        if (!HoveredObject.collider.GetComponent<RestrictedSlot>())
        {
            Items.Add(HoveredObject.rigidbody.gameObject);
            ItemIndex += 1;```
Good lord just store a reference to the `RestrictedSlot` directly. It would cut out 50% of this code.
#

Don't use RaycastHit as some sort of storage medium either. Pull the thing you need out of it and discard it.

#

Ah

#

Idk how else to do that

simple egret
#

Line 92, you can use !InvMenu.activeSelf instead of that comparison to false

Hello! I was hoping to get some insight on different ways to subscribe to actions / input system via script. I've gathered a few ways to subscribe and I'm not sure when to use which ones. For my situation, I want to call a function when the action has been performed but would rather not pass the CallbackContext as a parameter.

_ActionMap._Action.performed += _Method; // where _Method(InputAction.CallbackContext context)

// B: _Method doesn't need to take the callback context but can't unsubscribe from .performed (-=)
_ActionMap._Action.performed += _ => _Method; // where _Method doesn't take any parameters

// C: best option? downsides?
_ActionMap._ACtion.performed += delegate { _Method(); }; // where _Method doesn't take any parameters

Try logging the type of the value

How do I get which position is my mouse over? I use this code

Vector2 mousePos = _inputAction.ReadValue<Vector2>();
            
Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(mousePos.x, mousePos.y, Camera.main.nearClipPlane));```
But instead I get values which are heavily dependant on the Z parameter of the vector3. Like if it's 1000, I get 1000 at the right corner of my screen,  if it's 1, then 1. 🥲

hey, so i have the issue im hoping someone else was met with too. so, basically, when the example collider with rigidbody falls on another collider with gravity being the only force moving it, all collisions are detected with around a second delay. the problem does not occur when the gameobject is moved into the collider via script line, just when it free falls on it. anyone knows how to fix that?

also im detecting this collision with oncollisionenter2d, and as of now the only thing inside that method is debug.log line. in this example collsion is detected late on the static gameobject the collider with rigidbody falls on, but from my previous expirience the situation is the same on the collider with rigidbody itself

leaden ice
#

What kind of "detection" are we talking about?

#

oh sorry I see the second paragraph

#

how are you measuring this 1s delay

swift falcon
#

it says double for float, and int64 for the ints

#

that should match right?

simple egret
#

No, and no

leaden ice

int is Int32, and float is Single

im suspecting its like a unity bug or something and im not sure what to do about it

leaden ice

that would be a serious obvious bug that affects almost everyone

swift falcon

setting to a dictionary must be nullable, and single is not nullable. At least that is what visual studio says :(

right so you're calling e.g. return GetData(key, defaultValue); where defaultValue is a string but the actual value in the dictionary is a long aka Int64 so when it tries to cast it can't because that cast is not valid.

#

can't convert long to string

                Yakapedia.SetFloat($"LevelBestTime {IsNull(currentLevel)}", elapsedTime);
            }
}

this is in my levelmanager, calling getfloat and setfloat should work? Because elapsedTime is a float

simple egret
#

Yes, it should be alright. Can you post the full error message? So the call that threw the error is shown

leaden ice

yeah the call stack is needed

swift falcon

well the errors are all over the place

i cant move my character because i cant get the selected skin, cant get to the other level because my currentlevel cant be loaded

PlayerManager, line 93 is the root cause

#

Which goes to Manager, line 37

leaden ice
# swift falcon

manager.cs:37 would be the best place to start I think. and/or playermanager:93

swift falcon
#

then we get here

# 
    private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.transform.CompareTag("Portal"))
        {
            manager.SelectLevel(manager.currentLevel + 1, true, true, false, false);
        }
    }
leaden ice
simple egret
#

Okay currentLevel is an int, confirm?

swift falcon
#

but currentlevel is nothing because is cant get it

swift falcon
simple egret
#

Then next, Manager:37

swift falcon
# 
        if(levelID > Yakapedia.GetInt("CurrentLevel"))
        {
            MarkLevelAsCompleted();
        }
#

tadaa

#

that is why SelectLevel doesnt work

simple egret
#

Check all the places where you modify the value of the key "CurrentLevel"

leaden ice
#

and is it ever anything besides int?

swift falcon
# 
 public void MarkLevelAsCompleted() => Yakapedia.SetInt("CurrentLevel", Yakapedia.GetInt("CurrentLevel") + 1);

on collision with the portal

simple egret
#

Anywhere else?

leaden ice
#

is that the only place? Serach for CurrentLevel

simple egret
#

In all files, Ctrl + Shift + F

swift falcon
#

int ProgressInt;

//in start
ProgressInt = Yakapedia.GetInt("CurrentLevel");
simple egret
#

Anything that sets, not gets

swift falcon
simple egret
#

Nah, not possible

#

You can't get a Int64 (long) out of thin air

leaden ice
#

I suspect the problem here is that when you read/write from json

#

it doesn't have type information

#

and just assumes all the numbers are long and double

simple egret
#

Ah, it's saved to JSON, so yeah it might

leaden ice
#

i.e. this:
data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Dictionary<string, object>>(decryptedData);

devout solstice
#

I feel like this would work

#

But I feel like it wouldnt

leaden ice
#

deserializing to Dictionary<string, object> is dicey

devout solstice
#

I dont trust visual studios auto code thing

swift falcon
leaden ice
#

hence JsonConvert

swift falcon
#

yeh

leaden ice
# swift falcon

the thing that is printing out System.Int64 is what/where exactly btw?

swift falcon
#

let me check real quick

leaden ice
#

I actually do think casting an Int64 to an Int32 is generally fine 🤔

#

with an explicit cast (and acknowledgement of overflow risk)

#

so I'm a little confused

swift falcon
leaden ice
swift falcon
#

Debug.Log(values[key].GetType());

leaden ice
#

ok

simple egret
#

Yeah it deserializes as long

leaden ice
#

yeah so - shouldn't you be able to cast that to int? 🤔

swift falcon
#

maybe int.Parse on GetInt?

simple egret
swift falcon
#

same with float and string

I'm wondering why changing the value of fallSpeedReduction dosn't actually affect fall speed. I can set it to 0, or 1000 and the result is the same. I am trying to create a bit of a "hover" mechanic but it's giving me a hard time, The hover fall is too slow and I cant seem to change it:

` if(isGrounded)
{
canHover = false;
}

            if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && (isGrounded))
            {
                theRB.velocity = new Vector2(theRB.velocity.x, jumpForce);
                AudioManager.instance.PlaySFX(10);
            }

            if(Input.GetButtonUp("Jump"))
            {
                canHover = true;
            }


            if(Input.GetButton("Jump") && (!isGrounded) && (canHover))
            {
                theRB.velocity = new Vector2(theRB.velocity.x, 0);
                theRB.AddForce(Vector2.up * fallSpeedReduction * Time.deltaTime);
            }`

_sequence.insert(LeanTween.scale(gameObject, s.Scale._to, s.Duration).setEaseInOutSine());

One hacky thing you can try is:

            object val = values[key];
            return (T)System.Convert.ChangeType(val, typeof(T));
        }
        return defaultValue;

In the code whenever the player moves they will face that direction semi-smoothly and it will just do a 360 when passing 0.

What I think is because it isn't taking the angles into account it just goes to the number but I don't know how I could make it use the angle and make it rotate accordingly

The code:

if(movement != Vector3.zero){
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(Vector3.Lerp(transform.eulerAngles, new Vector3(0, cam.eulerAngles.y), 20 * Time.smoothDeltaTime));
}

leaden ice
# 
if(movement != Vector3.zero){
 Quaternion targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(cam.forward, Vector3.up));
 transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 20 * Time.smoothDeltaTime);
}```
#

this is a pitfall of euler angles

So I'm coming across a lot of situations where I have a number of gameobjects grouped together in some UI element (imagine a grid-like inventory menu).
I want to have it so when I click an item, it gets highlighted in some way, and any other gameobjects in this element that are highlighted are now no longer highlighted. What's the best way to handle this?

#

I need reference to all gameobjects in the UI to potentially shut the highlighting off on them while also turning on the clicked element.

simple egret
#

For each element in the collection: shut off the highlighting
Highlight the selected one

#

Simplest solution

#

If you can get the index in the collection of the element you clicked, then it's even easier. For-loop over each element, and it's highlighted if i == selectedIndex

Does anyone have any suggestions on loading tile data into my 2D array. I cant have an if statement for each tile type. My only thought would be to have a scriptable object for each tile type that is loaded into a dictionary and then query each tile name against that. Any thoughts?

For starters I would use enum instead of string for the name/ID

Then use a switch, or at least else if

Hey guys So I'm having an issue with networking where I don't know what is best practice, and how to get it to work correctly. I have "successfully" completed this before by making practically everything but the input buttons a server process, which is not what I want to do, I believe. correct me if I'm wrong. but I have a server setup that spawns a player in a new scene once you select host. The host connects and because it's the server instance everything runs correctly and smoothly. However Whenever I try to network it properly (with an authoritative server) I always end up having to basically make every variable a server variable. This is my third attempt and I've decided to stop right before the problems start, with the RPC calls, and ownership BS. I don't want the client to have ownership, but 1) I want to make sure that the person performing the updates is the client that is connected. 2) I have been trying to limit the amount of information back and forth to the server, so I was going to serialize just the transform. I have a cameracontroller object that controls the actual movement based on the players movement that 3) I was hoping not to send any information to and from the server for. I have implemented 3-4 versions of the different player perspectives that the player can toggle between, so it is an extremely complex set of vector mathematics - But It is working perfectly for "single player style" I just need to figure out what I need to convert, where and when to send it, and the ownerships / access tied to the methods. Can somebody help me through the process?

sand spade
#

and also, my builds are taking 3+ mins... I can probably limit the time by using smaller assets? IDK if 3 mins is reasonable. I would assume not, but I do like the looks of better assets, etc. Some reduction in compile time would be great as any time I want to test server/ host configuration stuff, I have to completely rebuild, unless if there is a faster way to rebuild? maybe use VS more? IDK. tips on that would be great.

Is there a way to "pre-simulate" physics? In my game, I have a real physical dice roll. It'd be cool if I could animate the Character in such a way as that their attack landed at the precise moment the dice finished rolling (ie their rigidbody.IsSleeping() became true). Can I figure out how long until that will be true in instant-time?

sand spade
#

So I have the Host running as it should, but when I add another client the camera gets all messed up for the host (it thinks it's the client camera, but moves the correct player) and can't send anything from the new client. I'm assuming that it's because of my isowner tag in the update method, however, how do you handle ownership, IE multiple clients in a fully authoritative server? how do you check that it's the right client and not update other clients simultaneously? :S

#

(ManzellBeezy I'm sure that you would need to implement your own custom physics script to do so, with increased gravity and velocity, etc. I don't know where to start, but something like that I don't think is built in - but I could be completely wrong. Unity has surprized me many times. esp. with all the asset store has to offer.

#

I have a physics degree, but it doesn't seem helpful many times.. lol. I don't understand the units of force, etc.

Im sure S.O.L.I.D practice might have specific guidelines with events vs methods, for me personally, I use events whenever something should be notified of an action, for example if a enemy lands a hit on the player I may want to send a "OnDamageTaken" event cause probably the HUD wants to know about that - a function is better used when logic just needs to happen, and either take no params or the params can all be filled from the caller, same example if the enemy sees the player, the enemy may call AttackPlayer() since nothing needs to know about the attack, just the result of the attack, and only the AI needs to execute a function that they can fill the params for

hmm let's say you absolutely positively couldn't pass in the reference and needed to grab it on the fly. Is there a sneaky way to stash it in the scriptableobject static?

soft shard
#

You could maybe load it from Resources, although that could be slow as your project grows, or you could maybe put them in a singleton and reference them from the singleton, though aside from being "messy" (as in, when possible it would be better to have a direct reference), im not sure if it would be better than Resources, though how exactly are you using a scriptable object as a enum?

ionic socket
#

So the basic idea of the game is that you roll dice to do stuff like in D&D, except each die face has a qualitative result instead of numerical result ("OK", "Good", "Terrible" etc). There are 7 possible Results, and each die has any number of faces with the various results. so each Result is a scriptable object. They implement IComparable so I know which results are better than others, but I want to say something like if(thisResult > Result.Mediocre)

        Debug.Log(transform.rotation.x);
        transform.Rotate(0.5f * cycle, 0, 0);
    }

At the start the angle is 89
Problem: according to Debug.Log(transform.rotation.x); the angle and rotation are very wrong. Either it shows that its decreasing, while in the inspector its increasing, either the output, and the actual angle have an increasing difference between them.
Quaternions are so messed up, pls help

"very wrong" as in... extremely right, and you are doing it wrong

you probably want eulerAngles, not rotation

if it confuses you, it's probably more sensible to do something like this instead:

  else if (Rotation > 270)
    cycle = -1;
  Rotation += 0.5f * cycle;
  transform.localEulerAngles = new Vector3(Rotation, 0, 0);
}```

if you are trying to read from eulerAngles, generally yes

Hmm, for using > or other operators, you may have to do operator overloads: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/operators/operator-overloading

I think it might be overkill, but your approach does make sense, in either case, you could give each SO/Result a weighted value to use either through a GetIsBetter(ResultSO A, ResultSO B) (which I assume is what IComparable is doing for you), or if you do want to use > instead of a function, you can use the weight and assign the weight in the scriptable object itself, that way you can just do number comparisons, but reference that however youd like without needing to know the "weight" when you want to compare - or if the dice holds a list/collection of these SO's you could maybe use their index and get your "if(A > B)" from the dice itself rather than the SO's

Learn how to overload a C# operator and which C# operators are overloadable. In general, the unary, arithmetic, equality and comparison operators are overloadable.

  1. You try parsing messages that come in and realise that parsing parameters or even optional parameters alongside reflection is a pain in the ass.
#
  1. You download Quantum console or a free console if you can't pay for it
#

Serious answer, step 2 is probably way too difficult to accomplish if you want it to work properly. I talk out of experience (release coming soon btw :o)

is there some way i can pass an enum to spawn a prefab? (like Item.SWORD to spawn a sword?) i was thinking of keeping a dictionary mapping enums to prefabs but idk how i would actually refer to the prefab in code

#

Alternatively, fill it in directly with the prefab by making the value a GameObject and filling it in the inspector (although I don't think Dictionaries are properly shown in the inspector so you would need to add a custom script to make that possible).

yea the latter was the issue i was running into

#

the path mapping is clever though thanks!!

#

if i have a list in a singleton that stores a gameobj, does the gameobj get destroyed when you load a new scene or does it stay active because there's a reference from the singleton?

thin aurora
#

But I'm guessing if you start using a reference of a destroyed gameObject Unity is going to shit bricks real quick.

#

Just properly remove destroyed references

#

As long as a reference exists, the reference will not be deleted. I assume the reference will not point to a valid game object, and at that point will not work.

How do i make a customer editor that makes disappear the serialized fields below text or image based on the enum?

[Serializable]
public class DescriptionData
{
    public enum DescriptionType { Text, Image }
    [Header("Options")]
    [SerializeField] private DescriptionType descriptionType;

    [Header("Text")]
    [SerializeField] private string descriptionText;
    [SerializeField] private bool enableOverrideColor;
    [SerializeField] private Color overrideColor = Color.black;

    [Header("Image")]
    [SerializeField] private Sprite image;
}

For storing item tables and stuff like that, what would be better: Json or Scriptable Objects?

Hello everyone. I am currently trying to create a more or less organic shape (box with rounded edges for now). I am struggling with the radiants being calculated depending on the position of the edges. you can see in this screenshot, that in top right and bottom right there are those hard edges, which I want to remove. So I somehow need to calculate the distance of the verts around the corner to increase or decrease depending on (here comes the part) what? I tried angle, I tried dot product but I seem to be just getting lost in prototype code. Maybe someone can lighten up my issue here. The code is adapted from another source, so it is clamped to my needs: https://hatebin.com/zvsknlktfw

how do i fix jittery movement with rigidbody.moveposition? i am doing it in fixed update:

            if (playerMovement != Vector3.zero) // if the left gamepad stick is moving
            {
                _playerRigidBody.MovePosition(transform.position + _mainCamera.rotation * playerMovement * _jumpHorizontalSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
            }

character interpolate is active

are you certain the movement is jittery and not perhaps the camera?
