[floral crescent]

im not certain i will test

[plucky inlet]

why do you use an if statement here? Maybe your input is somehow "jittery" you can still moveposition even with zero vector, its just not moving then.

[floral crescent]

fixed it nvm

[plucky inlet]

You might wanna tell others what was the issue, so serach function returns some solution? 🙂

[floral crescent]

use rigidbody.velocity instead of rigidbody.moveposition because velocity allows you to change each axis separately

_playerRigidBody.velocity = new Vector3(_currentJoggingInput.x * _jumpHorizontalSpeed, _playerRigidBody.velocity.y, _currentJoggingInput.y * _jumpHorizontalSpeed);

[floral needle]

Hello guy, I'm making my first (serious) multiplayer shooter (projectile/rigidbody based) using Photon. I have a decent understanding of server connection/creation, client-host relationship... those more basic concepts. Where I think my troubles will start is the bullet syncing part of the game (and probably pretty much everything else that involves syncing tbf). My first thought was to instantiate bullets (with pooling) as RPC's, but I've been reading on it and it doesn't look like the best solution, so I might opt for an authoritarian model with client-prediction implementations. Thing is, I'm not knowledgeable enough on this to filter what are good and bad practices, so I was going to ask if anyone has any recommendations on more in-depth resources that might help me with a project like this and, of course, if you have any inputs/tips that you think are important for projects like this. Thanks in advance!

[oblique spoke]

For a serious multiplayer shooter you probably want to make sure you are on Photon Fusion and check out their Battle Royale demo https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/br200-battle-royale-multiplayer-with-photon-fusion-226753 #archived-networking

[floral needle]

Thank you, I will for sure look into it! Can you tell me if it works like PUN where I just go into the asset store and get Photon Fusion package or is it somewhere else?

cause that link is just a demo correct?

[oblique spoke]

I believe that includes Fusion, but looks like you can only get it as a standalone through their site

[floral needle]

Again, thank you for your help!

[distant owl]

Hello, does anyone know how you would go about programming an object to follow the movement on the X and Z axis of another object when a collider hits it? I have already sorted out the collision but am struggling making the object follow the player's movement without it teleporting to the player thank you

[icy sundial]

is it possible to regenerate meta files for some objects? im getting some weird errors and i think it comes from there

[floral needle]

I'd say that depends a bit on the behaviour you want, whether you want it to STRICTLY follow the player from a distance or you want a more natural movement (ie. you want it to wait for a bit then start following slowly and build up speed then slow down and stop when player stops etc...)

[knotty sun]

just delete the meta files, unity will automatically regenerate them. Bear in mind that will lose all references if you do so

[knotty sun]

very simple
First calculate distance on X and Z between object A and B
Secondly when object A moves, set object B position to A + distance calculated above

[icy sundial]

im getting a weird error. Somehow when I stop the editor and run it again, a List still contains objects from the previous run. How is that possible?

[somber nacelle]

is it static? and do you have domain reloading turned off?

[icy sundial]

its not static, and it was working well before

[floral crescent]

how can i move my player towards a main camera z rotation?

_playerRigidBody.velocity = new Vector3(_currentJoggingInput.x * _jumpHorizontalSpeed, _playerRigidBody.velocity.y, _currentJoggingInput.y * _jumpHorizontalSpeed);

[neat galleon]

hello, im making a backrooms game with procedural generation

so it makes everything in one square, but i need to do chunk generation and cant find information about that anywhere

can you tell me how do chunks really work and how do i realise it

[somber nacelle]

if you google unity procedural chunk generation you'll get dozens of results including video tutorials

[distant owl]

oh yes thank you I was just working on it now and sorted it out I actually tried a very similar method but thank you very much for the help

[neat galleon]

bro thats why i ask it here

[distant owl]

also thank you for your help I eneded up actually binding the object as a child to the player and just set their position on update to another object so they dont move with the parent

[somber nacelle]

you asked here because you found dozens of tutorials on google? that doesn't make sense

[austere orbit]

Hi, is there a possibility to assign value to readonly field when Instantiate() prefab?
ideal would be something like this:

  GameObject display = Instantiate(ShopItem);
  display.GetComponent<ShopItemManager>().Item = item;

public class ShopItemManager : MonoBehaviour
{
    public readonly IShopItem Item;
}

[somber nacelle]

no, readonly means it can only be assigned via field initializer or constructor

[austere orbit]

Okey, is there any other possibility to assign value to the field when Instantiate() prefab in way that it will be impossible to change after that?

[somber nacelle]

private IShopItem _item;
public IShopItem Item => _item;

public void Init(IShopItem item)
{
    if(_item == null)
      _item = item;
}

This will allow you to access the reference from other objects via the read-only property Item while only being able to assign it once via the Init method. So you just instantiate then call Init and pass the item as the parameter

[austere orbit]

so the only way is to create another class for handling that?

[somber nacelle]

no?

the code i just gave you would replace your readonly field in the ShopItemManager class

[austere orbit]

but I don't want to be able to change it even from the inside of the class

[somber nacelle]

then just don't change it in the class. access it only through the Item property even in the class itself.
since you won't have access to call the constructor you won't be able to use a readonly field for this

[austere orbit]

thx for help

[jagged laurel]

how to make a flashlight glow give the script

[somber nacelle]

public Flashlight flashlight;
public void Start()
{
  flashlight.Glow();
}

[vagrant blade]

Not how this discord works. Glow involves post processing. You can set that up with bloom and toggle it in code.

[mental rover]

I copied this into my script and it still doesn't turn on 😢

[austere orbit]

You have to add turn on too

public bool TurnOn;
public Flashlight flashlight;
public void Start()
{
  TurnOn = true;
  flashlight.Glow();
}

[jagged laurel]

I copied and pasted saved it in the console, it writes an error on line 3

[prisma birch]

Anyone know how to change this setting via script?

[somber nacelle]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Camera-clearFlags.html (probably)

[prisma birch]

Thank you! Confusing that the label on the component is different than in the script

[forest storm]

hello guys

how to make the player move in the looking way?

[somber nacelle]

you can use transform.TransformDirection to convert a direction from local space to world space then use the returned Vector3 for your movement

[buoyant crane]

you can use .forward to retrieve the direction vector of the camera

[forest storm]

my mesh is already rotating with the mouse looking cam but it wont go in the direction of looking

[forest storm]

hmmm

[somber nacelle]

show what you've tried

cam script (1), movement script (2)

ok

sorry mb

[somber nacelle]

also don't multiply mouse input by delta time, mouse input is already frame rate independent and anyone teaching otherwise is wrong. when you remove that make sure to lower your mouse sensitivity variable both in the script and the inspector

[forest storm]

void Update()
    {
        float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSens * Time.deltaTime;
        float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * mouseSens * Time.deltaTime;

        xRotation -= mouseY;
        xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -80f, 60f);

        yRotation -= mouseX;
        //yRotation = Mathf.Clamp(yRotation, -120f, 120f);

        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 0f);
        //transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, yRotation, 0f);
        playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * mouseX);
    }

void Update()
    {
        IsGrounded = Physics.CheckSphere(Groundcheck.position, groundDist, groundMask);

        if (IsGrounded && velocity.y < 0) {

            velocity.y = -2;
        }
    
        float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

        Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z;
        
        controller.Move(move * speed * Time.deltaTime);

        if (Input.GetButton("Jump") && IsGrounded == true) {

            velocity.y = Mathf.Sqrt(JumpForce * -2f * gravity);

        }

        velocity.y += gravity * Time.deltaTime;

        controller.Move(velocity * Time.deltaTime);
    }

[buoyant crane]

retrieve the .right and .forward of the camera and use those in the movement script, or rotate the player as well in the camera script

[somber nacelle]

that shouldn't be necessary if they are actually rotating the player body

[forest storm]

how do i retrieve and use it?

[somber nacelle]

i'd bet they have a NRE they aren't paying attention to 😉

[forest storm]

im a beginner in unity

[buoyant crane]

oh wait you’re totally right

i somehow read that as camera rotation, not the player

[forest storm]

no no

player

[somber nacelle]

then #💻┃code-beginner next time. and take a look in your console, you likely have errors while you play if the player's body isn't actually rotating correctly because the movement code does move using the player's body rotation

[forest storm]

yeah it does

but the character wont move to the direction im looking to

[dusk apex]

Are there errors?

[forest storm]

no errors

[dusk apex]

Runtime errors

[forest storm]

nope

[somber nacelle]

then your setup in the hierarchy is probably wrong

[forest storm]

hm

[somber nacelle]

show how you have it set up

[dusk apex]

Maybe you're not rotating what you think you are?

[forest storm]

yk its walking to worlds Axis but not the camera looking

[forest storm]

im, i looked in editor while in game

[buoyant crane]

what is playerBody assigned to in the inspector?

[somber nacelle]

if the playerBody is rotating then most likely the movement code is on the wrong object

[forest storm]

the player itself

[forest storm]

hm

[somber nacelle]

again, show how you've got this set up in the hierarchy so we don't have to make guesses

[forest storm]

here

[somber nacelle]

it's really not helpful that we can't see which object has what components and that two objects have identical names

[forest storm]

yeah mb

its just a capsule

the above "player" is just an empty

the below "player" is a capsule

[somber nacelle]

the "empty" one is the one that should be rotated and moved

[forest storm]

yes

it is

[somber nacelle]

are you sure

[forest storm]

yeah wait

the collider is at PlayerMesh

[somber nacelle]

and which object does the CamScript reference

[pine bronze]

hey guys so im trying to make doors, im following a tutorial and for some reason my door only opens in one way, and the door should've opened depending on which way the player is facing the door. im using Vector3.dot() with the forward position of the door and the player pos - the door pos.
this code opens the door https://hastebin.com/share/oyevazonub.csharp
and this code closes the door https://hastebin.com/share/ezerucuyup.csharp
the dot variable is always negative

[forest storm]

Playercam

[somber nacelle]

not what is it on, what object is it referencing as playerBody

[forest storm]

PlayerMesh

oh

i should bind it with the empty

[somber nacelle]

yes, but it's also not empty, there are several components on that object

[forest storm]

yeah

but now i cant rotate cam in y

i rotate the mesh but not the cam anymore

[somber nacelle]

the camera is a child of the player, right?

[forest storm]

yes

[somber nacelle]

and you rotate the playerBody by mouseX every frame and the camera by -mouseX every frame, right?

[pine bronze]

can somebody help pls?

[forest storm]

right

[forest storm]

yeah wait for a moment pls

[somber nacelle]

okay so if you rotate playerBody by mouseX then the camera is also rotated by mouseX, so then what do you think happens when you rotate the camera by -mouseX

[forest storm]

shouldnt be negative tho

[pine bronze]

it should be negative/positive depending on where the player is

[forest storm]

nothing?

[forest storm]

yeah

[somber nacelle]

well the end result is nothing because mouseX + -mouseX == 0

[forest storm]

ok..?

how to fix?

[somber nacelle]

either don't make the camera a child of the player and have it only follow the player + rotate, or stop rotating it by -mouseX every frame

[forest storm]

hm

[forest storm]

but it wont follow Player if its not a child?

[somber nacelle]

so make it follow it

[forest storm]

lmao how

[forest storm]

ah

wait

i got it

thanks for the support!

find out a solution

[dusk apex]

Dot product would produce positive numbers if the two directions are going the same way else if you're getting negative numbers, it's likely because the two directions are opposite. It would seem you've got door's forward as the opposite of the direction to player.

[dusk apex]

Maybe cs Vector3.Dot(forward, (transform.position - userPosition).normalized);

[empty hollow]

Hello,
I'm working on a pseudo database (with dictionaries) for my scriptable objects, and I was wondering if it is bad practice to use the scriptable object name as an ID like this :

public string ID()
    {
        return this.name;
    }```

It would make it easier for since I won't have to manually set an ID for each item (I'll have couple hundreds of items).

[cedar pivot]

hello friends, can you recommend youtube tutorial series for advanced coding?

[pine bronze]

it was because i changed forward from transform.right to transform.forward and also i used -dot instead of dotwhen rotating the door and now it works

[austere orbit]

Hi, I have general question about currency system. I have that SO that represents my cash amount

[CreateAssetMenu(fileName = "Voult", menuName = "ScriptableObjects/Voult")]
public class Money_SO : ScriptableObject
{
    public int Currency { get; set; }
    public int PremiumCurrency { get; set; }
}

Is it good to store this variables in something like SO or is there a better way?

it wouldn't be catastrophe if some players just cheat and add money to their accounts via 3rd party apps

[empty hollow]

I would not use an SO for that, just a generic class or struct. SO's are rather used for storing permanent data, for example items in an RPG (Sword SO -> Short sword, long sword, etc...) with their stats

And if you really need runtime data in SOs you can always make a copy at runtime

[austere orbit]

I mean I did it in SO cuz thats the only way I know that will store data between game launches (with out obviously *.txt or other files)

how is it possible to store data in classes between game sessions?

[empty hollow]

Be careful since data in SOs is saved in unity editor between play sessions, but not in build version (pc, android, etc...)

[austere orbit]

wait, what?

[empty hollow]

yes check the API: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-ScriptableObject.html
Saving and storing data during an Editor session

for proper data persistence you should look into a save system that writes to files

but in the meantime, if you want something quick & dirty, you can always use player prefs https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PlayerPrefs.html

[austere orbit]

shiiiiit and I build half of the app on SO XD

[empty hollow]

player prefs are often used to store game settings etc... but in prototyping they can be fine to store your data

I can also recommend an asset from the store that is very useful in my projects (Easy Save 3), check it out

[strange pine]

not sure if this is right channel, but i've got Plastic SCM enabled and Unity is refusing to compile any changes until I check in the files, which is then automatically pushing up to my workspace. Is there a way I can disable that, because that is really getting in the way?

[trim schooner]

I've never seen a user on here that knows how to use Plastic. Best place to ask is the Unity forum (Plastic has its own section).. or Plastic suport wherever that is.

[strange pine]

It being the main tool that Unity want people to use for collaboration, and nobody here knows on the official Unity server? Hmmm

[vagrant blade]

Honestly, most people use standard alternatives.

Nobody ever has issues with git. Everyone had issues with collaborate, and now plastic comes up often.

[maiden breach]

I used Plastic for a trial period. It was good, but very different. Would be hard to find solutions given how small the community using it is.

[trim schooner]

Beginners don't have a clue.
Advanced people were on git before, and are staying on git now

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[strange pine]

Right we’ll then I’ll just look for something else, thanks all

[ionic socket]

is there a way to parent a UI element to a transform in worldspace, and have it auto-translate into 2d/UI screenspace? I have a damage pop-up that I want to follow the unit as it moves around. I could do this in an Update() loop but I'd rather not if possible.

[leaden ice]

You could use a world space canvas

[ionic socket]

yeah but then they'll be natural scaling based on distance to the camera, which I don't want.

[pale marsh]

So I am making a game where I need to make a timer. The timer needs to count up in minutes seconds and decimals and be in minimal 100 levels... If you reach the end time need to stop. If it stopped it needs to check for the best time and save it so that It can be displayed in another scene. So it actually needs to be a Best Time timer or something. Just like speedrun games. I have the timer working but not the best time and the display in the other scene. Can someone help me with this, because I wasted like 3 hours and motivation.

[tepid river]

hello, i have two trigger-colliders on two separate objects. when they collide, they trigger code that glues them together with a fixed joint.
now i have the two connected objects and want to pull them closer togehter => reduce the offset.
how do i do that?

magic rubberduck: you have to set the localposition of the slaved transform and then set the anchorposition (joint.connectedAnchor) afterwards

[buoyant crane]

check if your current time is less than the current best time. then set best time to the current time

[pale marsh]

thats the easier part but the harder part is the displaying of the different levels best time

[buoyant crane]

look up how to transfer data between scenes in unity

[pale marsh]

mk

[buoyant crane]

wait actually, are you trying to transfer data or did you want each scene to store its own best time?

[pale marsh]

the last one

[buoyant crane]

ok so how do you plan on saving best times

[pale marsh]

I maybe tought of playerpref, but if I use that it will give the 1 best time to every level (its displaying only 1 time for every level in my levelselector)

[buoyant crane]

player pref will work. for the “key” of each playerpref, just use the build index of the scene

each scene can access its current build index and use that as the key to the player pref and access the time

[pale marsh]

just like this: Playerpref.SetString("name" + buildindex, amount)

[buoyant crane]

yes that should work

[pale marsh]

I can try that ig

How does this work exactly?😅

[orchid surge]

I'm working on my workflow for projectiles and bombs, this time I wanted to make the weapon that fires the projectile, or the bomb that spawns the explosion, gets to define what happens when a projectile detects a potential target. I started by using an OnHit event in the projectile or explosion that the weapon responds to with a funciton, kinda like this pseudocode below.

private void Fire() {
  // projectile spawning and launching code
  projectileFired.OnScoredHit += ValidateHitAndApplyEffects;
}
private void ValidateHitAndApplyEffects(HitData projectileHitData, Projectile projResponsibleForHit){...}

This works great for projectiles, but it didn't work well for bombs, cause bombs explode. The bomb prefab is destroyed when the explosion prefab is spawned, so the callback can't be called. Is there a way to make this sort of setup work?

[devout solstice]

Ive gotten myself into a interesting situation

[orchid surge]

Actually, I think I can just use delegates to avoid my issue. Gonna try that now.

[sacred frost]

if you just have 90, then it'll just move for example from 0 to 90, or from 180 to 90, or from 270 to 90. It's a hard-coded value. To make it keep rotating 90 degrees, you need to add 90 degrees to the object's current rotation axis, hope you understood

[elder temple]

Ah I see. I got it. Tnx♡

[devout solstice]

I've decided to store a slot and a item both in the same dictionary, one as a key, one as the value, and I need the item to follow the slot, so set the item to the slots position, how could I get the key and value using one another?

I basically just need to get any of the keys and values but they need to be corresponding to one another

I honestly have no idea what I've done but I'm here now so

[rigid island]

you make a script

[devout solstice]

Ah

Thanks

[rigid island]

idk what ur asking here

what is "key"

what is "value"

[devout solstice]

its a dictionary

a slot and a item

[rigid island]

so say it's a dictionary

[devout solstice]

I literally explained it

[rigid island]

you didn't

[devout solstice]

I did

[rigid island]

it's ambiguous

[devout solstice]

What

[rigid island]

literally provided 0 code in a code channel

it's all guessing games at this point

[devout solstice]

A explanation should do just fine

[rigid island]

yeah goodluck with that

[sacred frost]

sooo you wanna like get an item in dictionary using either just a key or just a value? not sure if i got it fully

[devout solstice]

No, I need to get the key in the dictionary, using the value and vice versa

[rigid island]

#💻┃code-beginner

[devout solstice]

the more I explain this, the more idiotic it sounds

[rigid island]

no just a basic question

[sacred frost]

yeah I see, just get an item from dictionary and then you can get a key or value from it

that's kinda all

[rigid island]

learn how to work with Dics

[leaden ice]

two dictionaries, one in each direction. Or have the item store which slot it's currently in, or vice versa

[sacred frost]

 foreach(KeyValuePair<string,float> attachStat in attachStats)
 {
     //Now you can access the key and value both separately from t$$anonymous$$s attachStat as:
     Debug.Log(attachStat.Key);
     Debug.Log(attachStat.Value);
 }

example i found online idk

[devout solstice]

idk now that I've put it in my script it looks like it should work

It very much did not appreciate that

[sacred frost]

if you need any more help you can dm me (but only if you really dont get something), btw this is a pretty basic thing so it belongs to #💻┃code-beginner . if you want to learn more on dictionaries, watch some tutorials - https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/lists-and-dictionaries

[devout solstice]

I know how dictionaries work

[rigid island]

not synonymous with effective use

[devout solstice]

true

[zealous bridge]

Which approach do you think would be most suitable for a list of strings that can be edited and accessed by other scripts? Would you recommend using scriptable objects, singletons, static lists, or another alternative?

[sacred frost]

depends on the usage

what will you use them for exactly?

i'd just do a singleton probably

[zealous bridge]

A list of types of items.

[sacred frost]

i'd make it a scriptableobject i guess then

and have it stored in a singleton

like gamemanager or whatever

[rigid island]

I wouldn't use SO for this type of mutable data

[rigid island]

singleton should do just fine

don't overcomplicate it

[sacred frost]

yeah but it also depends on what you plan to do in future with it

[swift falcon]

the most programmer thing ive ever said

[zealous bridge]

singleton behaviour should be done in the constructor if you want it run correctly in editmode right?

[orchid surge]

Delegate + removing a reference to the bomb's tranform in the the callback made the fix happen.

[leaden ice]

you should not use the constructor ever for MonoBehaviours

Use a lazy-loaded property if you must.

[zealous bridge]

Yeah I'm kinda lost after I wrote the constructor. I feel the need to figure out when unity calls it now aha...

[rigid island]

why even use constructor ? Awake is like the constructor for mono

unless you mean a non-mono class.

[leaden ice]

what are you trying to do exactly

why do you need your singleton available in edit mode

[zealous bridge]

Figured that is where it starts if it gets instantiated. Although using the property does work for me. Since I need to call get first

I'm creating a list of items types.

I have a custom inspector that allows for string drop down menu.

[leaden ice]

I'd do something like this:

static MyScript _instance;
public static MyScript Instance {
   get {
    #if UNITY_EDITOR
    if (_instance == null && !Application.isPlaying) {
        _instance = FindObjectOfType<MyScript>();
    }
    #endif

    return _instance;
   }
}

void Awake() {
    _instance = this;
}```

[young wolf]

Anyone familiar with Unity EditorXR?

How can we make runtime-created objects selectable?

[zealous bridge]

This works the same as a constructor?

[rigid island]

#🤯┃augmented-reality

[zealous bridge]

This is a constructor for a property?

[leaden ice]

no

[leaden ice]

this is a property

no constructors involved

[zealous bridge]

How does it work outside of a function?

[leaden ice]

sorry fixed it

it's a property

it is a function

in disguise

[zealous bridge]

aha yeah alright it's a get now

[leaden ice]

you can think of it as ```cs
public static MyScript GetInstance() {

}```

[upbeat dust]

Heyy, is there i direct way to control transform.rotation, with same values in code and inspector?
Want to make a simple directional light cycle, but can you simply rotate without quaternions?

[sacred frost]

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(x,y,z);

[leaden ice]

the stuff you see in the inspector is more or less transform.localEulerAngles

but the numbers won't always be the same due to euler angles not being unique

Simpler to use quaternions

[upbeat dust]

but when i tried it, not at all, its a random up and down moutain graph

[leaden ice]

What?

what is "a random up and down moutain graph"

[sacred frost]

debug log returns graph now? dayum, unity technology advancing

[upbeat dust]

from what i found

[leaden ice]

yes because euler angles suck

this is why I recommend not using them

[upbeat dust]

ok ok, thx for calrifying

[zealous bridge]

Quaternions are complicated but you get tons of functions to use them.

[leaden ice]

quaternions are actually simpler to work with

that's why unity uses them

they're more complicated to understand the internals of

but you don't need to

just use them

[upbeat dust]

Alr, thx for info guys)

[craggy sapphire]

sorry quick dumb question

when you want your coroutine to end do you need an extra yield return null at the end

[potent sleet]

no

[craggy sapphire]

aight cool

thanks

[pale marsh]

It didnt work because I need to get the buildindex from that scene, but thats always 0. I cant get the specific number of that scene ig...

so I cant do playerpref.GetFloat()

[buoyant crane]

i gtg, but it definitely should work

[potent sleet]

You can get SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;

[pale marsh]

I can try to do something with that ig

[potent sleet]

you're trying to store what the level you're in?

[pale marsh]

I want to have a timer that saves the best time. I need to convert the best time to the levelselector scene. (the timer itself is in the level itself) I need to have it for multiple levels

[potent sleet]

oh so why do you need level index ?

just save the current time in the playerprefs and load it inside the score scene

[pale marsh]

so I can check what level it is and check if the required index is the same as the index that I send the best time to.

[potent sleet]

wdym the "required index"

[pale marsh]

that doesnt work, because then all the scenes will have the same time right

[pale marsh]

what level index I want it to be

[potent sleet]

ok I get it

you wanna save time Per-Scene

[pale marsh]

yeahhh

[potent sleet]

hmmm how comfortable are you with coding ?

cause sure you can use playerprefs but it's not a good system imo. I would highly recommend you make a struct to determine an scene int + time "whatever type it is" in a file json

it would be easy to also keep track of everything in a neat list

[pale marsh]

not very comfortable xD. A friend of mine made the whole playerprefs system in a file json

[pale marsh]

mkmk

Im still learning C# yk. I know a few things, but not that much

O wait a sec...

[potent sleet]

hmm yeah ok maybe with player prefs you can jank it up together np

[pale marsh]

maybe I've got a solution

[pale marsh]

true true

[potent sleet]

you can store the whole thing as a string

just how json works

but in playerprefs

then when you can "dissect" the string to extract values

eg time + scene number + w/e

the important part is you separate info with a certain char you can then use to String Split

[pale marsh]

that sound better then playerprefs tbh...

still... it sounds kinda hard

[potent sleet]

this IS with playerprefs

lol

[pale marsh]

yeah but a better way to use it

[potent sleet]

JSON would involve knowing how to make a serializable class

[pale marsh]

mkmk

[potent sleet]

ofc ofc

[pale marsh]

yeah ok so I was just stupid... I fixed the time thing. I only need to have the time getting less... its hard to explain

[potent sleet]

huh ?

[pale marsh]

yeah its hard to explain

but I fixed it, thats the important part

[soft hare]

he can some one help me i am using ad mob and i am getting this error NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
AdScript.Update () (at Assets/scripts/AdScript.cs:36)
this is my code >>> if (rewardedAd.IsLoaded())
watchAd.gameObject.SetActive(true);
else
watchAd.gameObject.SetActive(false);

[zealous bridge]

which line is 36 o.o

if it is rewardedAd.IsLoaded() It might be rewardedAd that isn't set to a instance of an object,
if it is watchAd it is possible that watchAd is not set to a instance of an object.
It is also possible that you can't access gameObject with watchAd.

[soft hare]

https://gdl.space/ukavadusef.cs

[zealous bridge]

rewardedAd does it have a right script attached to it in the inspector?

If that isn't the issue. It's possible that, the issue lies within the function isLoaded

[coral hornet]

how do i use a navmesh, do i just calculate a path then iterate through the corners? where do i get this supposed "navmesh"? i was looking through unity doccumentation and it said that it was auto generated by geometry, how do i get this automatically created navmesh? where do i create another navmesh? i am very lost

can i create my own custom navmesh or no?

[sacred frost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atCOd4o7tG4

i think this video will answer most of your questions

[coral hornet]

alright

[coral hornet]

is there any articles that you could reccomend me instead? i dislike video tutorials

theres a 1 minute long segment advertising his own stuff right at the start, god i hate youtube tutorials 🙁

so wait navmesh is a class?

[sacred frost]

probably this then
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/nav-BuildingNavMesh.html

[coral hornet]

alright thanks

[potent sleet]

people gotta make money to eat

[coral hornet]

but they dont have to make money off of invasive youtube tutorial ads, sidebar ads on articles are much more personally appealing

[potent sleet]

how's it invasive? it can easily be skipped through the timeline seekscroll

[coral hornet]

timeline seekscroller?

[sacred frost]

install sponsorblock addon

[potent sleet]

you never seen this

you don't know how to skip a 1 minute chunk of a video ?

[coral hornet]

ive never personally heard it called a timeline seekscroller

[potent sleet]

seek scroll ?

you never developed a media player then

[coral hornet]

no i have.. not...

should i have developed a media player before watching youtube?

[potent sleet]

you should know what a "seek" bar is

[coral hornet]

or any other platform with a media player integrated into it?

[coral hornet]

i mean.. sorta..

idk i just dont really see it as a "bar" or as "seeking", even if that is the official term

[potent sleet]

so you know it has the words in it why are you still goin

[coral hornet]

i see it as "moving to a different time in the video", i just dont personally identify it as a timeline seekscroller

[potent sleet]

technical term is seek bar

[coral hornet]

iunno i like talking

[coral hornet]

noted

on a different note where is the navigation tab

nvm

ok built the navmesh thanks guys 👍

[coral hornet]

so assuming the path's corners are points in world space that i can iterate through, how do i tell when an agent has reached the waypoint?

[sacred frost]

check the remaining distance

[coral hornet]

alright

[sacred frost]

navMeshAgent.remainingDistance

[coral hornet]

oh thats a property?

[potent sleet]

there is more info than that too

[sacred frost]

yeah it has a lot of properties

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AI.NavMeshAgent.html

[coral hornet]

oh, i figured itd just give me the waypoints and leave me to do the rest, thanks

wait whats this?

also how does auto repath work?

assuming that the path i create manually can be stored in the path property

will auto repath automatically overwrite the path property if the path ive made becomes invalid?

[sacred frost]

are you creating the path for the navmeshagent manually?

[coral hornet]

i mean that was the plan but now im not so sure i should

considering auto repath

should i just create one to kick off the pathing or what?

what counts as an invalid path, and what about the destination?

[sacred frost]

if you want him to patrol an area non-dynamically, then create a path manually

[coral hornet]

if i set this mid-pathing and it doesnt line up with the previous paths destination will it auto-repath to try to approach the new destination? when exactly is auto-repath active?

[sacred frost]

if you want to make him code to just walk around in random ways dynamically then yeah dont create a path manually

autorepath is for when it sees an obstacle i think, but im no navmeshagent expert

im just guessing

[coral hornet]

alright

[sacred frost]

i guess only one way to find out - check

[coral hornet]

well im looking to make this creature constantly try to reach a player

and im sorta puzzled

cuz like

wait so if i make a path manually

but the paths endpoint is no longer the player (player moved) then do i make another one immediately after?

[sacred frost]

then just set the destination to player's position

[coral hornet]

alright

thanks

[sacred frost]

it does it automatically

[coral hornet]

ok yeah that clears up alot, thanks

[wide burrow]

No matter what I try I can't seem to change the Icon for my scriptable objects

[coral hornet]

ok wow that works amazing, thanks a TON man

#if UNITY_EDITOR directive allows you to run things in edit mode?

Or am I understanding this wrong?

[lyric wadi]

play mode in the editor

is it not working? it should but it needs to be before any other platforms

so if your target platform is android, and you have #elif UNITY_EDITOR after UNITY_ANDROID the android one will superceed it

[zealous bridge]

It is working. It's working in edit mode. I'm able to copy a static list from another script in update.

but I'm not sure I'm using it right.

It feels like a unintended way of doing it.

[lyric wadi]

just lets different blocks run on different platforms, so if you have different input for different platforms or something you can define each and it just triggers the right one

[zealous bridge]

Uhh that means I don't actually need it and my understanding of update is wrong?

I thought unity doesn't run update in edit mode

Only during play, and outside of play it(edit mode) it doesn't run.

[lyric wadi]

if you have [ExecuteInEditMode] it runs the code

[zealous bridge]

I don't have it.

[lyric wadi]

weird

[zealous bridge]

yeah

[zealous bridge]

Uhg yeah I was testing it and you need execute in edit mode for it to run the code in update. something buggy is happening on my side

[lunar mauve]

Im using animation rigging and I made a small script to make it so when you turn the camera facing it, it will put the weight to zero. but when you turn 180 degrees it does the opposite can someone help me?

        Vector3 Direction = targetConstraint.position - sourceObject.position;
        if(Direction.z <= 0)
        {
            targetWeight = 0f;
        }
        else
        {
            targetWeight = orginWeight;
        }```

[digital whale]

I made a controller script for my player character,but when I try to move them anywhere,they don't move at all
https://pastebin.com/tqrMJeMY

[hexed pecan]

You need to type FixedUpdate correctly or unity will not call it

[digital whale]

Thanks

I don't know how I missed that lol.

[tall lagoon]

Hey guys so I'm making a 3d enemy and i want the transform.foward or the current direction looking at the player bc ima need it for something else later bc right now i have it looking at the player but how can i get the forward or current direction to look at the player instead? This is my code

Vector3 LookDir = transform.position - Target.transform.position;
        transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, LookDir.y, 0);
        transform.forward = new Vector3 (LookDir.y, 0, 0);

i thought you were talking to me

hey joseluis now that your hear if you got a sec you think you could help me out with my problem real fast?

[supple hinge]

Oh, no

im kind of ignorant on Coding by the moment

the only think i can tell you is to create a Child Object and make it act like if it was a Compass and the player was North

[tall lagoon]

wdym?

[supple hinge]

but that won't change anything bc it's the same problem

[tall lagoon]

ye i just need the current or blue arrow of the enemy to face the player

thats the tricky part

[supple hinge]

position.X? i don't know man, sorry i won't give you any advice if i don't know what im talking about

good luck

Josusl i can explain

ijustneed the blue arrow to follow the player on the y axis

[supple hinge]

nono, i mean

i have problems with rigidbody, i won't be able to understand any of that

[supple hinge]

ask Osmal about it

he's a great guy

[lyric wadi]

You tried LookAt(target) and Quaternion.LookRotation? https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Quaternion.LookRotation.html

[bronze egret]

Vector2 inputDir = new Vector2 (Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));```
Im trying to get a player input for my player object, what do you guys think, i've seen other people do it like this:
>  float X or Y input = input.getaxisraw("X Or Y");
i assume this way its more optimised since its a single line

[somber nacelle]

being a single line doesn't make it any more optimized. use whichever you prefer, the performance difference between the two is likely negligible at best

[tall lagoon]

Oh i actually figured it out

For the suggestion

[timid meteor]

is there away to add a 3d collider to a tilemap?

[potent sleet]

no

you can use a gameobject brush with 3D colliders on them

[potent sleet]

what are you trying to do?

[timid meteor]

is there away to do it via code?

I am using it to generator terrain

[potent sleet]

put a tilemap collider

[timid meteor]

I have set it up so it generates meshs

I did but it wasn't workign

the player walked straight through them

[potent sleet]

is this 3D?

or 2D

[timid meteor]

yes

3d

I am using it for vr

since I found out it runs better on vr urp

I can load massive worlds with no performance issues

[potent sleet]

you already have meshes no? just add mesh collider

[timid meteor]

how do you add a mesh collider in c#

[timid meteor]

like this?

MeshCollider meshCollider = edgeObj.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();
meshFilter.collider = mesh;

[potent sleet]

pretty much

[potent sleet]

pretty sure it's sharedMesh

[hexed pecan]

Yea second line looks a bit off, should be
meshCollider.sharedMesh = mesh;

[wet condor]

How can i make my arrow in Minimap adjust with my minimap texture.

i mean my arrow (PNG) is place inside my Car and another camera render that Arrow (layer) and place it in my UI..

since my Arrow is flowing all my places should i have to scale my map texture in scale and place it exect sclae as my acutal scene map while that layer is render with another camera ?

this white is my road texture i mean like this
it's place accordingly with my acutaly road rander with another camera

[wild nebula]

If you have a child arrow object and parent it to the car, since its on another layer, you can just resize the arrow game object?

• Car
  -- Arrow (Just resize this based on object to camera distance)

I imagine it something like this.

float size = (Camera.transform.position - Arrow.transform.position).sqrMagnitude * resizeFactor;
//Then clamp it:
size = Mathf.Clamp(size, 0, maxSize);
//Then apply it:
Arrow.transform.scale = Vector3.one * size;```

Just a pseudo code, but you get the idea.

On the other hand ------

Anyone know if I can peek into the implementation of this? Internal_ToEulerRad(Quaternion q)

Its from Quaternion.eulerAngles C# reference

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/master/Runtime/Export/Math/Quaternion.cs

[somber nacelle]

if it isn't available in the csreference then it isn't available for you to look at

unless you buy whatever license unity offers that allows access to the internal code

[wild nebula]

I just need that one specific implementation to debug because I need to do the quaternion.eulerAngles from Unity.Mathematics version of the function.
But it isn't producing the same results with generic implementations from the internet.

[somber nacelle]

i dunno what to tell you mate, the engine is closed source except for what is available through github. if it isn't on github then the source is not available to view

[wild nebula]

😭

[leaden ice]

Here's the declaration

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/UnityCsReference/blob/70abf502c521c169ee8a302aa48c5600fc7c39fc/Runtime/Export/Math/Math.bindings.cs#L92

It's marked extern which means it's implemented in C++ and closed source

[wild nebula]

Thanks, I will keep trying all the implementations I can find ig.

[coral kettle]

I can't find any info on how to clamp a long

System.Math.Clamp gives an error about Math not containing the definition of Clamp

[prime sinew]

do you specifically need a long?

[coral kettle]

at the moment yes

[prime sinew]

i'm not sure.. but what version of .Net is your Unity using?

cause it does seem to be a thing
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.math.clamp?view=net-7.0#system-math-clamp(system-int64-system-int64-system-int64)

[wet condor]

Hnmmm no i mean should i have scale my map as big as my game and place a huge big map over it..

So i can track my arrow where ever i go in game?

Or there's another way to do it

[coral kettle]

seems to be 4.7. I'll just construct a clamp using an if

[wild nebula]

Sorry I actually don't understand the question :c

I thought you want to scale your arrows when the mini map camera is very far.

Because you want a huge part of the map to be seen.

[wet condor]

No no not that ':) 🐱

I just fell like i dont have to scale my map texture (the road lines) in the game and scale it 200x soo it be same as my environment

This while is my texture and i have scale it 200x so it can be same as my road 🛣️

[earnest epoch]

Hey, if I'm following correctly, the white stuff in your picture is supposed to mimic your road in geography and you don't want to have to change its scale in order for it to line up; is that correct?

[wet condor]

Yes that's correct the acutal road I've sclae it 200x and now it work fine now but i dont want it like that. Since I've sclae it 200x..

[hexed pecan]

What kind of object is the white road?

And what is the arrow, I don't see any

Is your map one Terrain component?

You could get its scale and adjust the white road mesh to that

[wet condor]

Just a png

Arrow is just a png also inside my car

[hexed pecan]

But it's on some renderer component, is it a MeshRenderer with a plane/quad mesh?

Or world space UI?

[earnest epoch]

To be clear, you're looking for a way to scale your PNG accurately to your terrain.

[wet condor]

This. I mean this white is my map and i to place it my environment I've scale it 200x so it can big enough to place my environment..

Everything work fine but somehow i think that's not the correct way since I've sclae too much also what if there a much bigger project 😅

This small is what I've scaled. And make this big one.

[hexed pecan]

If it works, it works. Another option would be to render it to the minimap camera on a canvas

[wet condor]

Yes im rendering to rander texture and using UI to place it

[earnest epoch]

So two things: @wet condor

1. If you want to eliminate this difference in relative scale, you need to make one thing a different scale than the other intrinsically. Import a bigger thing into your project if you don't want to scale it up. The same for going smaller.
2. This is the wrong channel to discuss non-programming related topics. Try #💻┃unity-talk, or share your code which attempts to solve the scaling issue programatically.

[wet condor]

Oh ok Thx Soory for wrong Chanel Omi @earnest epoch

            }

The debug log says

How on earth is this possible?

Why is it not running the debug.log inside the for loop for r = 0 and r = 1

[prime sinew]

it looks like it is. that Debug.Log doesnt have = in it

or do you mean you dont see = 0 and = 1

it'll be helpful if you shared what s and x are

[leaden ice]

show a screenshot of your console window.

Do you have Collapse enabled?

[wild nebula]

Anyone know how to clean up unused assembly references?

I don't want to do the stone-man approach

Using Visual Studio 2022

[leaden ice]

the whole window

[leaden ice]

none of this seems to relate to the code you posted above, since nothing in the code above prints "rows = someting"

cheers tho

[restive dirge]

How can we get right and left mobile tilt movement(when mobile screen vertically facing us) values?

[leaden ice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input-gyro.html
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input-acceleration.html

[prime sinew]

How come Input.acceleration detects the tilt, when it's a "linear acceleration"? Or am i misunderstanding what linear acceleration is.

[swift falcon]

I load an asset bundle and it gives me this error "Desired shader compiler platform 14 is not available in shader blob". Any idea on how to fix it?

[leaden ice]

The accelerometer can detect the direction of gravity

Or rather, by reading the direction of gravity, it can surmise the orientation of the phone to some degree

[prime sinew]

oh.. wow. so I can just assume it'll detect movement and tilt. thanks!

[ionic socket]

Invoke vs. Coroutine vs. using a DoTween to delay triggering an event. What's the cleanest, most professional way?

[potent sleet]

Coroutine

the true answer is async

[ionic socket]

is that Task.Delay type stuff?

[potent sleet]

or thread.sleep depending on what you doing

I don't even think it works in unity so that's that

[ionic socket]

Task.Delay seems both clean and semantic

[potent sleet]

there is also Wait

[potent sleet]

it's just a fancy Timer in disguise
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.timers.timer?view=net-7.0

[thin aurora]

Thread.Sleep is only valid if you manually created a thread and did not apply any Task-based features in it, which is basically never since a Task-based system is easier to begin with

So let's all forget Thread.Sleep exists 😄

[potent sleet]

agree lol

[thin aurora]

Weird

[potent sleet]

[thin aurora]

Weird..........

[cloud smelt]

Not sure if this is a bug, and im struggling to google for the issue but I'm using Resources.FindObjectsOfTypeAll() to pull a load of scriptable objects into a dictionary. My issue is occasionally it just doesn't pull anything in, and will continue to do so until I change something on one of the objects and re save it. Anyone ever had this issue? Any other alternatives?

[thick heron]

im doing animation stuff and the last keyframe plays for a millisecond is there a way to add idle time to the last frame

I want to move that bar without moving the rhoumbus

[sacred frost]

you sure the scriptableobjects are in the scene somewhere?

[quartz folio]

You generally shouldn't be using that API, it only returns loaded objects

[sacred frost]

yep, you can't trust it, i'd just do an array and you can drag your stuff there

[cloud smelt]

not in the scene no they are in the resources folder.

[sacred frost]

well yeah you cant really trust that function for that then

[quartz folio]

Despite the name, FindObjectsOfTypeAll isn't really anything to do with the Resources folder

if you want to load an array of data from the resources folder, use LoadAll

[cloud smelt]

oh...

Gotcha

haha ok my bad

Thanks guys ❤️

[swift falcon]

im using first person core and every time i open the camera prefab the scene goes grey even tho i didnt touch anything but it works just fine in play mode

[sacred frost]

I think that's a unity bug lol

I had it a lot in older versions

if you restart it will probably show up normally but if you move is it gray again?

if so then yeah - from my knowledge just a unity bug ;/

[swift falcon]

yes

do you know the bug name so i can search in google

[sacred frost]

nope, you can try disabling the lighting though see if that fixes anything

[prime sinew]

Duplicate the last frame and drag it further down the animation

Hello! I am using Netcode for gameobjects and I am trying to display the ping of each player.

public TextMeshProUGUI pingText;

    private float pollingTime = 1f;
    private float time;
    private float frameCount = 0f;


    private NetworkTransport networkTransport;
    private ulong clientId;
    private bool networkSpawned = false;
    public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
    {
        networkTransport = GameObject.Find("NetworkManager").GetComponent<NetworkTransport>();
        clientId = NetworkManager.Singleton.LocalClientId;
        networkSpawned = true;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        if (!networkSpawned) return;

        time += Time.unscaledDeltaTime;
        frameCount++;

        if (time >= pollingTime)
        {
            ulong ping = networkTransport.GetCurrentRtt(clientId);
            pingText.text = $"{ping} ms";

            time -= pollingTime;
            frameCount = 0;
        }
    }

This is how i am doing it. The player that hosts the game has 0 ms latency, but when a client connects, it outputs this error:

KeyNotFoundException: The given key '1' was not present in the dictionary.

It references this line ulong ping = networkTransport.GetCurrentRtt(clientId);

heyy, so i have this simple IF statement checking the quternion rotation (float)

if ((Mathf.Round(transform.rotation.x * 1000) / 1000) == 0.707)
{
      Debug.Log("DAY OR NIGHT");
}

At first i put 0.707**f **like its supposed to be, but the if statement did not pass, but when i removed f, it stated working

Do quaternions return some kind of other data type?

[wild smelt]

I want to make the user select a json file and then the game should read it, but not modify it

how

[dusky lake]

You round your value, so it can never be 0.707, additionally you need an f behind that 0.707 to make it float. Futhermore you should never == compare floats as they are not precise

[upbeat dust]

but thats the thing, 0.707 works, while 0.707f doesnt

[dusky lake]

Oh nvm to the first part, didnt see the / 1000 behind the round

Put an f behind the 1000 you are dividing by

You are currently working with doubled

Doubles*

[upbeat dust]

oooohh

yeah i forgot they exist

tysm mate

[tacit kestrel]

@upbeat dust - you should try something like:

float value = Mathf.Round(transform.rotation.x * 1000) / 1000;
if (Mathf.Abs(value - target) <= float.epsilon) {
  // equality functionality
}

[upbeat dust]

thx a lot for suggestion, but im such a noob ;P

ill research on epsilon tho, thx

[somber nacelle]

at that point just use Mathf.Approximately, it does the same thing

[tacit kestrel]

that is a good choice too

[austere orbit]

Hi, is it possible to force devs to assign values to fields in scripts?

[RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody))]

Something like this but with fields in script

[RequireValue]
[SerializeField]
private int JumpForce;

so if you try to test the game it will not start until you fill the required values

[earnest gazelle]

Probably you mean ref types?

Odin inspector has an attribute for it called Required.
If it is null, you will see an error below the field in the inspector.
Then you can run Odin validation tool, it shows all validation errors

Hi has anyone used alternatives for http communication like System.Net.Http?

[hybrid relic]

Does anyone know if Facepunch fixed their p2p ip leak thing in Facepunch.Steamworks ?
I last remember Dani having problems in Crab Game with DDOS attacks cuz of it

[somber nacelle]

why not ask in their community?

[copper plaza]

hey ,I need a help;
Im try to build my game,it was built perfect,but after integrate sdk it not,it failed build,
This is my error console:

[hybrid relic]

Cuz they dont have one

[gentle hinge]

How can I check if a spotlight is shining onto an object?

[somber nacelle]

surely they have a forum thread at the very least

[copper plaza]

use raycast

[hybrid relic]

They dont, they have the github, but i asked there before and got no answer

im also confused that i asked here and noone has an answer for me, i thought it might be used more often then Steamworks.NET since its more easy

[somber nacelle]

i'm aware they have a github. they link to their forum thread on the github 😉

[somber nacelle]

someone will have to have not only used the package but also be familiar with its changelog and the issue you are describing in order to know the answer to your question. how likely do you think that is?

[hybrid relic]

yeah the thread doesnt exist

im a steamworks developer so i should have access to that group

[somber nacelle]

works for me

[hybrid relic]

lemme try something

[copper plaza]

@hybrid relic & @somber nacelle this is code general room not chat room;please go there

[somber nacelle]

Notice how i was already redirecting the person to the proper place to ask their question? this wasn't just a casual chat mate

[hybrid relic]

This is about code, networking to be specific

[hybrid relic]

If i click on "here" nothing happends

im a steamworks dev and i have a game

Its just too dumb to redirect me correctly

[somber nacelle]

have you even bothered looking at their docs pages? that would answer your question

[hybrid relic]

now i get this, after i joined the group

[somber nacelle]

https://wiki.facepunch.com/steamworks/Sending_P2P_Messages

[hybrid relic]

Pff yeah ok then i wont use Facepunch

Steamworks.NET it is

[somber nacelle]

they stopped doing the thing that revealed IP addresses. isn't that what you wanted?

[hybrid relic]

They stopped using peer to peer for vc

cuz their peer 2 peer stuff is leaking ips

they did not fix the ip leak issue, just ignored it and used something else

[leaden ice]

Isn't revealing your IP an inherent part of establishing a P2P connection?

not really a "leak"

[somber nacelle]

ah, i misread it. either way this is getting pretty off topic for this channel 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid relic]

you can mask ips with steamworks when using steam for peer 2 peer

since you use steam as a kind of proxy, steam also routes the whole traffic so no port stuff has to be done

[leaden ice]

Not sure how that could work without using some kind of intermediate host, which makes it not really P2P right?

[hybrid relic]

well steam is kinda handling the peer to peer traffic and afaik a intermediate host with steamworks p2p

kinda works like a proxy

ive read about it and Steamworks.NET doesnt reveal your ip normally

[lethal plank]

anyone know what was that called?

i dont even know the keywords to google it

[leaden ice]

a line?

[lethal plank]

yes

that line follow object

[leaden ice]

it's just a LineRenderer, no?

[lethal plank]

for real?

alright

thanks

[copper plaza]

you can use several stuff for that,like UI or line renderer or even creat your own line via script (this will help you to defined the start and end position and control the size ...)

[icy schooner]

Hey!
I'm having some issues with my code where if (!isLocalPlayer) is returning the error (The name "isLocalPlayer" does not exist in the current context. I changed to capital I so IsLocalPlayer where the error disappeared but its not correct according to the documentation
Thank you in advance

[somber nacelle]

that's heavily dependent on the networking library you are using. but also if the docs are wrong, then submit a report through whatever issue reporting tool the docs should have

[icy schooner]

Im using Netcode. I dont think there is an error in the docs because in stackoverflow questions they do write it similar to the documentation but its just not working for me

[somber nacelle]

make sure you're looking at the docs for the correct version. latest version shows the property is IsLocalPlayer
https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/api/Unity.Netcode.NetworkBehaviour#islocalplayer

[icy schooner]

I guess I was looking at wrong then I was using this
https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/Networking.NetworkBehaviour-isLocalPlayer.html

I see top left... Version 2017

My bad

Thanks m8

[hexed sorrel]

I want to check for collisions on very large scales where floating point inaccuracy would usually make it break down; I'm thinking I could do some rudimentary check using my double precision coordinates and then use a raycast at a collider placed at the origin; if I don't want to create lots of such colliders, is there some way to raycast at a collider without actually creating one in the scene? (Or is there a much better way to go about things?)
Thanks

I want to put a number on default cube, I have made text mesh pro the child of the object but still the number is not showing up

[hexed pecan]

Make sure it's the 3D version of TextMeshPro and not the 2D/UGUI

And look at its local position

Not a code question though

[whole night]

what is the size of a default cube in unity?

[rigid island]

1,1,1 meter

*1 unity unit = 1m

[whole night]

so in text mesh pro the width and height should be 1>

?

whats the best way performance-wise to convert from screen space to world space

Vector3 worldPosition = mainCamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(screenPosition);

for some reason I feel I was told bad performance

[ionic socket]

long running question I've had about damaging a player with an attack. Should I simply raise an event on the player with the attack info in it, and let the player respond, or should I call a Damage method on the player, and have /that/ raise some events? On one hand, the later method allows me to control the ordering of certain things (ie, I can subtract the damage after invoking any events that may change the damage?), but it then requires me to add methods to the player and starts nibbling into "Single Responsibility". How would you do it?

[thick socket]

bump...in short, just need a little help converting the few 3d aspects to 2d

[wheat cargo]

Does Quaternion.AngleAxis not work when supplying an axis that isn't Vector3.up, Vector3.right, Vector3.forward?

[hexed pecan]

It does

[wheat cargo]

Why then, when I supply transform.forward as the axis, it reorients the object to default orientation?

[hexed pecan]

Hard to say

How are you doing it?

[wheat cargo]

transform.localRotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(newAngle, transform.forward);

[hexed pecan]

localRotation is local space and transform.forward is world space, they don't really mix

Either use transform.rotation or change transform.forward to Vector3.forward

[wheat cargo]

The same thing happens when I use:
transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(newAngle, transform.forward);

[hexed pecan]

Hmm what exactly do you expect to happen?

Usually I use AngleAxis to multiply it with another rotation

[hexed pecan]

If you do this and newAngle is zero, then it will indeed reorient to default rotation

[wheat cargo]

I just want to rotate an object to a specific angle around one of it's transform's axes, I don't want to continuously rotate it

I want to rotate it to a specific angle around the forward axis, so essentially this would 0 degrees

And 90 degrees would be rotated right around the forward axis

[hexed pecan]

Then you would multiply it with the current rotation

transform.rotation = transform.rotation * Quaternion.AngleAxis(newAngle, transform.forward);```Or I believe this works the same:
```cs
transform.rotation *= Quaternion.AngleAxis(newAngle, transform.forward);```

Might need to flip the multiplication sides around. Might not matter. I never remember

[wheat cargo]

This is in an update loop though, so that rotates it continuously, I want to be able to change the angle value and it always stays in the same rotation of what that value is set to

[hexed pecan]

You just said here that you don't want to rotate continuously

[wheat cargo]

Yeah I don't

[hexed pecan]

Store the original rotation in a variable then, and apply the rotation on top of that

[thick socket]

@hexed pecan big ask from ya...wouls you be able to help me convert a code made for 3d->2d?

[hexed pecan]

I took a look at it and it seemed to use MeshColliders and whatnot

Not sure how you would 2D that

Also yeah asking someone specifically to fix your code is a bit weird.

[thick socket]

Not my code...its some elses lol

[hexed pecan]

Even worse

[thick socket]

Its a 3d version that converts ui toolkit to worldspace

[hexed pecan]

Never used UI toolkit

[thick socket]

Really good for formatting...doesnt work in worldspace

Thus why this code is so great

Guess converting it isnt as easy as I hoped...maybe Ill have to try and learn 3d mesh collider stuff to try and make it work for 2d 😦

[wheat cargo]

Thanks!!! This is working.

[hybrid sleet]

Hi all, in C#, is there anything that's like a combination Enum and Dictionary? I would like to create a dictionary but where all the keys are sort of like the immutable data of an Enum entry. I'm mostly going to have a big long list of setting names, and I'd like to pair each one with a type, and I don't want to declare the enum first, and then write all the enum entries again as keys in a dictionary.

At first I thought of creating a new class for each thing that I would use as an Enum entry, but it was starting to get cluttered.

This feels like there might just be some kind of existing type that handles this kind of thing, no?

I also thought of using ScriptableObjects as an entry, but I don't think it's much more practical.

[somber nacelle]

well one (not super great) option is to just have a bunch of constants all in one class

of course that would only work if the values would be constant

[soft shard]

System.Enum does have functions to get an array of the enums (as values or strings, then you can cast by the index or type), you could technically loop through that and auto-populate the keys of your dictionary, assuming all you need to do is something like someDict.Add(enumValue[i], new List<string>); or whatever initialization you need for the value - or would this still not be ideal for you?
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.enum.getvalues?view=net-7.0

[hybrid sleet]

I think I need to manually set what the value for each key in the dictionary would be. Right now I can write out all the enum entries, but I need to add just a tiny bit of extra data with each entry, to say whether it is going to be handling floats or bools, or some other thing I haven't thought of yet.

right now it's like Dictionary <MyEnum, MyClass>, where MyEnum is a long list I've started writing out, and MyClass is two or three subclasses that all behave a little differently

Matching Enums with Subclasses is what I'm trying to accomplish, and just not have to write everything twice, because the list is very long, like maybe 50+ entries

I don't care so much about typing it out, I'm more worried about making changes later.

[soft shard]

Hmm, how do you intent to use the dictionary in your code base? Could you maybe give a use-case example with pseudo data?

[ionic path]

question for navMeshAgent - is there a way to keep the agent from overlapping the destination?

Somebody help me?

@stiff tide You've been caught by this as well, You can repost.

[stiff tide]

Thank you!

I'm super lost on what feels like it should be really simple. I want to make a menu button appear (that I can click on) when I hover over a zone.

But, unity thinks the mouse has left the zone when the button appears, causing a flickering effect. If I could just test for what object the mouse is on, I could tell it to not disable things, it'd be easy. Or if I could just tell it to ignore it's children when exiting. Or anything like that. But I've spent my last two days trying to research and figure out how to do this without messing with ray casting. Because 'IsPointerOverGameObject' and 'EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject' sounds like the correct things? But they can't return objects, they're just lways true.

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

public class HoverMenuButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] GameObject MenuButton;
    [SerializeField] GameObject ViewButton;

    public void Start()
    {
        //transform.Find().gameObject only searches through it's children for the object.
        MenuButton = transform.Find("Mini Menu Button").gameObject;
        ViewButton = transform.Find("View Button").gameObject;
        
        // I'll probably want to check for the parent here. Then I can easily know if this is yours or opponent's.
        OnMouseHoverExit();
    }

    public void OnMouseHoverEnter()
    {
        MenuButton.SetActive(true);
        ViewButton.SetActive(true);
    }

    public void OnMouseHoverExit()
    {
        if (IsMouseOverChild())
        {
            //stuff
        }
        MenuButton.SetActive(false);
        ViewButton.SetActive(false);
    }

   private bool IsMouseOverChild()
    {
        return EventSystem.current.IsPointerOverGameObject();
    }
}```

Link to a visual of what's happening:
https://gyazo.com/ed52eb3c0605b9d9c1270a5f1aa4fe88

[hybrid sleet]

I plan to compare two dictionaries with identical keys, and then check the class in the value, which has a value itself (either a float, a bool, or something else I haven't thought of yet)

Basically just checking a bunch of values and lerping or flipping them, in a state machine kind of thing

Like State A, has a big collection of settings, and State B has an identical collection, but the values are a bit different. We then transition from StateA to StateB by checking the dictionaries and lerping the differences

[lucid valley]

remove the OnMouseHoverExit() on this script and add it to a new script on the buttons?

[stiff tide]

Ah yeah that will probably work

Now I feel kind of dumb, cuz the solution is as simple as I thought it'd be

Although, I just realized that wouldn't work. Not without something else too.

When you hover over the zone, then the mouse leaves, the button won't disappear if you don't hover over the button first.

[vestal summit]

yo! What I'm trying to do is make the character rotate when I press wasd by the camera's orientation (cam.forward) thingy. Everything works but it rotates in z and x axis. I want to restrict it to the y axis. I tried to use this: https://answers.unity.com/questions/127765/how-to-restrict-quaternionslerp-to-the-y-axis.html but it was using quaternion.slerp and I'm using vector3.slerp cause the forward is vector not quaternion. Is there a way to do it with vector3? Here's the code and a clip of the problem to explain the issue a little better:

[leaden ice]

Project your camera forward and right directions on the x/z plane

Vector3.ProjectOnPlane

[vestal summit]

I'll c what I can do

yeah idk what I'm doing

if I understand correctly I have to do something like this but on the last one idk

right directions on the x/z plane??

[rustic furnace]

Hello, I am a bit confused if I did this correctly or not.

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

public class playerInteract : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    public npcDialogue npc;
   

    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("NPC"))
        {
            
            npc = other.GetComponent<npcDialogue>();
            npc.dialogueText.gameObject.SetActive(true);
            if (npc.currentIndex < npc.lines.Length && Input.GetKeyDown("e")  )
            {
                Debug.Log("click click");
               this.GetComponentInParent<mouseMovement>().inDialogue = true;
                npc.dialogueText.text = npc.lines[npc.currentIndex];
                npc.currentIndex++;
            }
            else if (Input.GetKeyDown("e") && npc.currentIndex >= npc.lines.Length)
            {
                npc.dialogueText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
            }

        }
    }
}

Basically, if the player is in trigger and clicks e, dialogue should play one line at a time. But when I go into play mode, I make sure that the player is in the trigger, then it takes multiple 'e' key clicks for it to register the click and I'm not sure why it does that. Also, it does halt the movement correctly. my problem is just with the input not registering with the clicks of e
My other script is

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

public class npcDialogue : MonoBehaviour
{
    // array
    public string[] lines = new string[] { "Hello there friend!", "Eat up all the food!", "Have fun!" };
    public TMP_Text dialogueText;
    //text object

    public int currentIndex = 0;
    // Update is called once per frame
    private void Start()
    {
       dialogueText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
    
}

Please do not hesitate to @ me. Thanks!

[vestal summit]

yeah I'ma hella confused

I either don't understand something or idk

or it's something like this

how am I supposed to put x and z axis in there

I'm so confusedc

[vestal summit]

yeah I understand that

[hexed pecan]

If you want a horizontal plane, use Vector3.up as planeNormal

[vestal summit]

but I just don't really understand this explanation :P

yeah I did that before you said that

but I'll try that

[leaden ice]

uhhh no...

[leaden ice]

why are you assigning right to forward??

in fact why are you changing the camera orientation at all

[leaden ice]

W're just producing a vector to use later in your calculations

you shouldn't be assigning anything to cam.forward

[vestal summit]

oh

oh shi

I didn't see that

[leaden ice]

Vector3 flatForward = Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(cam.forward, Vector3.up);```

[potent sleet]

the answer is very simple, Don't get inputs inside of physics update

it won't be as responsive

even on TriggerStay

[vestal summit]

yeah I've never used projectonplane before

[rustic furnace]

Okay...hmmm, then How could I remake this but without physics triggerStay? I need my player to be in the trigger and then update lines of dialogue...maybe I could use a bool for it instead

That might work

[potent sleet]

put this in your class, outside the methods
private bool InteractKeyPressed => Input.GetKeyDown("e"); @rustic furnace

[vestal summit]

ok so I got that now where should I replace it with

[potent sleet]

you can also just set a bool that ur InTrigger when ur OnTriggerEnter

then u set bool InTrigger to false on TriggerExit

either way works

[rustic furnace]

I'll update the code and come back if it doesn't work

[leaden ice]

the idea is you would use this flat forward instead of cam.forward in the:
Vector3 inputDirection = cam.forward etc... line
Likewise with a "flat right"

[potent sleet]

oki , but really you should really change it to keycode
private bool interactPressed => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E);
much more efficent

[vestal summit]

oh

[leaden ice]

should probably normalize it too

[rustic furnace]

Okay, what does it mean? This is new to me, you can make a bool an input???

[vestal summit]

kk

wait nvm it's already normalized

[potent sleet]

Input.GetKey returns a boolean so yes

[vestal summit]

I'll see

[potent sleet]

you already using it in a ifstatement no ?

so it's a boolean

return type is bool

okay, but I was thinking of making a bool inside the update() and then if that bool is true then do the code to update the lines of dialogue I guess?

[potent sleet]

Like I said you don't need the bool in update for keys

[potent sleet]

bool InteractPressed => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E);

[vestal summit]

wait bro you can't

[hexed pecan]

It works with the =>

[vestal summit]

I don

[hexed pecan]

It makes it into a property

Instead of field

[vestal summit]

I don't get it at all. The hell is flat? I got flatforward. I can't place it in the inputDirections cause it's using it to call the if statement thing

am I dumb?

or I just don't get something

oh wait

nope I don't get it at all

[rustic furnace]

where would you put that

[hexed pecan]

That example doesnt work

[rustic furnace]

then...what would

[slim light]

PLease can someone help me with a problem connecting vs code to unity

i code with c#

[hexed pecan]

Where do you want to read the input?

[potent sleet]

sorry typo

it works just put arrow

[hexed pecan]

If thats called from FixedUpdate it can still be missed

[rustic furnace]

so I need to put that bool into update()?

[potent sleet]

use the bool wherver you need it

    bool IsInteract => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E);

    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (IsInteract)
        {
            Debug.Log("HI");
        }
    }```

[hexed pecan]

Except FixedUpdate or OnCollisionStay/Enter etc

No Null

[potent sleet]

no?

[hexed pecan]

OnTriggerStay is called as frequently as FixedUpdate

[potent sleet]

I don't use Triggers that often but iirc they did work

[hexed pecan]

So GetKeyDown can get missed

[potent sleet]

oh you right.. the getter is in the fixedupdate

[hexed pecan]

Single key presses should be detected in Update (or anything that runs with the render loop, not physics loop)

[rustic furnace]

I am slightly confused...

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

public class playerInteract : MonoBehaviour
{

    public npcDialogue npc;

    private bool interactPressed => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E);

    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("NPC"))
        {

            npc = other.GetComponent<npcDialogue>();
            npc.dialogueText.gameObject.SetActive(true);

        }
    }
    private void Update()
    {

        if (npc.currentIndex < npc.lines.Length && interactPressed)
        {
            Debug.Log("click click");
            this.GetComponentInParent<mouseMovement>().inDialogue = true;
            npc.dialogueText.text = npc.lines[npc.currentIndex];
            npc.currentIndex++;
        }
        else if (interactPressed && npc.currentIndex >= npc.lines.Length)
        {
            npc.dialogueText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
        }

    }
}
``` like this?

[potent sleet]

why dont u just put a bool in ontrigger enter/exit like i said

then do the logic in Update or Coroutine

[leaden ice]

this:
#archived-code-general message
you're calculating it after you need to actually use it.
Obviously you need it sooner

I basically spelled it out for you here..

[hexed pecan]

Yeah that sounds better

[potent sleet]

@rustic furnace

[vestal summit]

ok now I get it

[potent sleet]

bool IsInteract => Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E);

    private void Update()
    {
        if(canInteractOrWhatever && IsInteract)
        {
                // do work
        }
    }
    bool canInteractOrWhatever;

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        canInteractOrWhatever = true;
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        canInteractOrWhatever = false;
    }```

[vestal summit]

so I was stupid

[rustic furnace]

yes but the problem is that the player cannot move while interacting

[potent sleet]

you mean you want to do that while ?

or just a bug rn ?

[rustic furnace]

like, I disable movement when diologue pops up

[vestal summit]

thanks I got it done

[potent sleet]

yeah, so whats the problem ?

[rustic furnace]

the player will never get out of the trigger

so onTriggerExit doesnt work

[potent sleet]

Understand but why not disable it only while dialoguing but not in trigger

[vestal summit]

this is how I had to do it. Thanks

[potent sleet]

you can set it to be able to move after it has done with dialogue @rustic furnace

not on trigger exit

ontrigger exit should only know how close or if it's within the radius of interaction no ?

[vestal summit]

you helped me understand ProjectOnPlane a little more :)

Got another problem that seems a lot easier than the last one but I don't get it at all since the slerp with delta time makes the turn smooth but it don't for some reason. Here's the code and a clip of the problem. Tried to fix it with some tries but it gave me the same result.

forgot to include one line

worked on this issue for a day :P

still no progress

[rustic furnace]

@potent sleet Thanks! It works! Have a nice day

[leaden ice]

You can't do someting like Slerp inside an if (Input.GetKeyDown(...))

GetKeyDown will only be true for one frame

[vestal summit]

I knew it

[leaden ice]

Slerp is something you need to be calling every frame as long as the transition is happening

[vestal summit]

that's what I was thinking

[leaden ice]

you would just set a target orientation in the if statement

and in Update is where you would do the rotation

[vestal summit]

yeah I realized that when I tried to use the orientation with slerp

[vestal summit]

k

I'll see

ok so I did this. But it's a little messed up

\

it does the nice slerp thing after I come out for some reason

it should do just when I press the button

[vestal summit]

then it starts bugging out so putting it in the update ain't going to work

[leaden ice]

if you do it correctly it won't "bug out" 😉

[vestal summit]

true

[leaden ice]

lookView seems backwards here. I think you reversed your subtraction.

[vestal summit]

can't think anymore tho cause it's 1 am and I'm trying to fix this problem :P

[leaden ice]

actually maybe not

idk

[vestal summit]

no

it's fine

I used the lookView for camera and body rotation orientation

it was fine

the script that gets called is inside a different method that gets called when it gets to thirdperson

when I press the zoom key it goes to first person

and uses a different code

and stops using the code that is in that third method

though I already tried to put it in an update it was the same result

yeah got no idea

whenever I place the Slerp in a different if statement without the keys it doesn't even run anymore

Hey 😁
Currently trying to visualise different data.. I want it to be a 3d volume, but I did not find something fitting online. Instead I generated cubes for the data, each with respective colors and transparency. Due to the amount this is however not really efficient (10.000+ cubes) ... I basically need every point to have a corresponding color but interpolated as a volume. Are there any approaches to that instead of my self written interpolating cubes? If not, is there any way to make it more efficient (f.e. culling, change cubes to a prefab of planes, if these would work at all)?

[quartz folio]

You could use VFX graph to display the points, but then you'd likely have to use graphics buffers to pass your data to the graph

I have done it before and it came out like this

[bronze egret]

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

public class player_movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    [Header("Movement")]
    public float moveSpeed = 0f;
    public float gravity = 9.81f;

    public Transform orientation;

    float horizontalInput;
    float verticalInput;
    
    Vector3 movementDirection;
    Vector3 velocity;
    CharacterController characterController;

    void Start()
    {
        characterController = GetComponent<CharacterController>();
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        MovePlayer();
    }

    private void MovePlayer()
    {
        horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        verticalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

        movementDirection = orientation.forward * verticalInput + orientation.right * horizontalInput;

        velocity.y += Physics.gravity.y * Time.deltaTime;
        Vector3 combinedMovement = movementDirection.normalized * moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime + velocity * Time.deltaTime;
        
        characterController.Move(combinedMovement + velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        
        if (characterController.isGrounded && velocity.y < 0f)
        {
            velocity.y = 0f;
        }
        
    }
}```
wrote this basic First Person Script with Char. Controller in mind
what do you guys think? anything i should improve or fix?

[warm plaza]

Looks pretty good. Do you know if this would be more perfomant? Will have a look into it and thanks for the advice! 😄
