Another example would be converting angles to a direction such as forward and losing data on the roll - you'd know where it's pointing but not necessarily it's up direction.

#

Likely so, good luck.

lean sail
#

thanks for trying to help through this as well, such a weird bug

swift falcon
#

I am a bit less experienced with 3D physics and have been trying to make this code work properly

    public class Hand_Controller : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [Header("Physics")]
        public Transform controller;
        public float maxForceRange;
        public float handMovementForce;

        private new Rigidbody rigidbody;

        public void Start()
        {
            rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        }

        public void FixedUpdate()
        {
            Vector3 offset = controller.position - transform.position;
            float distance = offset.magnitude;
            offset = offset.normalized;

            rigidbody.AddForce(offset * Mathf.Lerp(0, handMovementForce, Math.Min(1, distance / maxForceRange)), ForceMode.Force);

            Quaternion rotation = controller.rotation * Quaternion.Inverse(rigidbody.rotation);
            Vector3 torque = new Vector3(rotation.x, rotation.y, rotation.z) * rotation.w;
            rigidbody.AddTorque(torque, ForceMode.Force);
        }
    }

everything works fine except the movements are extremely springy, and will either result in the object constantly bouncing around the target point or shaking right at it. Rotation behaves significantly better, but still suffers from the same issue

lean sail
# dusk apex Likely so, good luck.

sorry for reply after convo over, i think u would be interested in knowing...
restarting unity fixed it kekwait i swear this might be a bug because my pc shut down unexpectedly last night

hollow stone
swift falcon
#

I'm aiming at a relatively physics based system, wouldn't resetting velocity mess up handling of heavy objects?

#

assuming that when a heavy object grabbed forces are applied to it as well

hollow stone
#

Yeah, something like springs would work better.

#

Or add some dampening perhaps that mitegate when it's close to target.

lean sail
#

i feel like a damper would be needed regardless

hollow stone
lean sail
#

springs will still cause the issue of bouncing around a target, or shaking at it. Dampers are specifically for "object constantly bouncing around the target point or shaking right at it"

#

yea

#

im not entirely sure what the use case of this is, which is why i didnt suggest a spring

swift falcon
#

hmm, taking current speed into consideration and dampening it when closing on the target does sound like a good idea

#

whats your suggestion on how picking up heavy objects in this case would function then? attaching spring joints between the hand and contact point on the object?

hollow stone
#

Spring between your vr hand and physical. Your carry force is in the spring force.

swift falcon
#

using unity's physics component spring instead of my code? am I understanding you correctly? just a bit sleepy, may be misunderstanding

lean sail
#

the spring force, if the object is attached to your hand, will drag the object directly towards your hand

#

it depends on how the movement is supposed to look

#

when u pick up an object, is it flying to your hand? or is it supposed to be contacting your hand and never leaving

swift falcon
#

yeah no I'm only interested in physically picking up objects, launching them towards the player is done separately

#

imagine a player putting their hand on a crate and trying to lift it, I simply want some weight to exist, not completely inertia-less handling

#

not boneworks level nauseating physics, just some weight for a nicer feeling

hollow stone
#

With weight you mean hands won't match real world hands position?

swift falcon
#

yeah

#

thats what I'm trying to achieve

#

separate controller and hand objects

lean sail
#

a spring could help then but u would have issues with customizing the spring force. Its only 1 force, not a customizable force in every axis

swift falcon
#

the force should dynamically adjust to a certin point to avoid the distance becoming too long and the player losing conrol

#

again, been doing it with my code

#

I'll add dampening and check how it looks, gonna make grabbing later once I got hands themselves working

#

the best way to add ranged grabbing is probably via alyx-like ballistic trajectory launching, they aren't super complicated to calculate and keep the physics feeling

#

should be good as long as I don't forget 7th grade physics

lean sail
#

trajectory sounds odd, why not just a raycast

swift falcon
#

wdym

#

I am talking about picking up objects from afar

lean sail
#

unless u mean something else, not really sure what alyx-like ballistic trajectory launching means

#

i just mean if u have a trajectory height, it might hit something unexpected along the way

swift falcon
#

games usually do it via simply pulling them towards the player

lean sail
#

oh u mean to send the object to the player, not detect the object i get it

#

yea thats just 1 formula to calculate

swift falcon
#

a bit more complicated, but imo the best way is to give the player some more control. Launch the object when a player pressed a grip button and makes a sharp movement, with the object trying to make the trajectory match with the pull direction

#

could potentially allow for curve ball grabs but thats just cool if the player pulls it off

night harness
#

Anyone have a suggestion on how I can get all children of a parent including children of children etc.

#

like every single object that might be under an object

potent sleet
night harness
#

I couldn't put together in my head how I would set that up

potent sleet
#

there a reason to need it to do it this way?

night harness
#

Yes and no

#

longterm probably not

#

Looking to combinebatch a ton of instantiated objects

potent sleet
#

GetComponentsInChildren iirc does search all children and grandchildren etc

night harness
#

How would I go about doing it recursively?

potent sleet
#

This method checks the GameObject on which it is called first, then recurses downwards through all child GameObjects using a depth-first search, until it finds a matching Component of the type T specified.

#

depth-first search meaning it should be able to reach

night harness
#

i see i see

#

ok lemme try and cook

lean sail
#

you dont even need to do it recursively yourself, yea the method gives u every child but also it gives u the parent too

#

since its DFS, its guaranteed that the parent is the first element so you can remove that or skip it if u want. If they change how it searches then that logic breaks

potent sleet
#

it's easy too

# 
  [SerializeField] private List<Transform> familyTree = new();
    private void Awake()
    {
        familyTree = GetComponentsInChildren<Transform>().Skip(1).ToList();
    }```
night harness

yeahhh it helped a ton

Where else tho bc i am using player prefs and i want to be able to change the value in the editor via a int or smthing that works with player prefs like a string or float or int

primal wind
#

convert the bool to an int

#

it's technically an int under the hood anyway (at least it is in C, probably is the same in C#)

topaz gate
#

yeah but i cant go PlayerPrefs.GetBool

knotty sun
primal wind
#

I don't remember if you can cast it to int but you can do PlayerPrefs.SetInt("key",yourBool ? 1 : 0)

#

At least i think you can use ternary operators in methods

lean sail
primal wind
#

Yeah, I'm never too sure since i basically never used it like that

lean sail
#

also the bool in C is kinda different from bool in C#, u cant do the exact same logic

#

idk how to word that, u can do the same things obviously by converting. But not the same syntax if thats a better word

primal wind
#

Yeah i forgot that bools technically don't even exist by default

#

C really confused me

knotty sun
#

in c and c++ a bool is a concept. In c# a bool is a type

lean sail
#

like in C/C++ you can add a bool to a number directly

topaz gate
primal wind
#

i think there is a method that allows that but i forgot it. Otherwise you can use another ternary operator yourBool = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("key") == 1 ? true : false;

topaz gate
primal wind
#

what does the error say

knotty sun
#

and the isOn ?

prime sinew
#

true or false is a boolean

primal wind
#

Oh yeah

#

so it should be Mute.isOn

topaz gate
#

MuteToggle.isOn?

primal wind
#

yes

topaz gate
#

Wait what if i add a bool that is called MuteBool and give that bool the same values as the toggle?

knotty sun
#

no

topaz gate
#

Ok nvm

primal wind
#

Why would that help

topaz gate
#

Idk Wytea said i need a bool

knotty sun
#

because he does not understand the difference between reference types and value types

primal wind
#

MuteToggle.isOn is one

topaz gate
#

Oh ok I have no errors now ill let you know if it works

#

Okay it half worked

#

The toggle saved but the audio didnt mute as the toggle is on

#

Wait nvm didnt work at all

#

the toggle is always on nomatter what'

swift falcon
#

I can calculate the force necessary, but I dont know after which point to stop acceleration and start dampening it instead

#

theoretically speaking the dampening force could be static, but I am still unsure if it will prevent bounciness

topaz gate
#

Wait its only showing and loading data from the first save you cant change the value and save it will stay at what you had it as first

hey, so im trying to add perlin noise to a grid of cells.

for (int x = 0; x < gridArray.GetLength(0); x++)
        {

            for (int y = 0; y < gridArray.GetLength(1); y++)
            {
                float n = Mathf.PerlinNoise(x, y);
                n = (n + 1) / 2;
                c.buildCost = n;
                GameManager.GM.cellList.Add(c);```
this is my current method, though when i try it, every single cell has the same cost
cosmic rain
#

Perlin noise takes a value between 0 and 1. Then it repeats.

mossy minnow
#

its always 0.7326366

hmm, still can't figure this out. Directly setting velocity to difference between positions divided by fixedDeltaTime works just fine, obviously, but then hands are completely weightless. Still can't figure out the bounciness with forces

restive ice
#

How do you guys deal with naming private properties?

prime sinew
#

@rancid hornet you should open a thread before you start posting all those screenshots

dusk apex
swift falcon
#

usually toss an underscore as the first symbol of their name

restive ice
#

I like to use properties over fields, but the only thing I dislike is how private properties generally should start with PascalCase

rancid hornet
#

ok so is anyone down to help?

swift falcon
prime sinew
dusk apex
swift falcon
rancid hornet
#

alright fair enough

restive ice
swift falcon
#

well yeah

#

thats what Im suggesting

restive ice
#

but properties start have Pascalcase too

dusk apex
swift falcon
#

yeah, private props also should use pascal usually

restive ice
#

so public SomeProp { get; set; } and private SomeProp { get; set; } look the same.

swift falcon
#

perhaps use _PascalCase?

prime sinew
#

why not _SomeProp

rancid hornet
#

im actually at work on break rn so im gonna continue this in about 6 hours

dusk apex
#

What they've suggested - underscore.

restive ice
rancid hornet
#

sorry guys for the inconvinence and for being a disgrace 😔

swift falcon
prime sinew
swift falcon
#

yeah just tell the thing to fuck off and disable that particular warning

dusk apex
restive ice
swift falcon
#

why are you making it a property btw?

#

and not just a field

restive ice
#

because it may have some additional logic

swift falcon
#

props make sense if you want for example to make it public to read and private to set

#

ah, you didnt write virtual so I assumed that it didnt

#

gotcha

#

yeah you still should go with the underscore, readability matters more

swift falcon
#

forces are what makes it hard

soft shard
# restive ice because it may have some additional logic

I think if its private, "additional logic" could make it a function, if its public where you need to validate the data as "additional logic", a public property could make sense, unless its a requirement of your internships code structure

restive ice
#

it also feels weird to do something like this
because now in the class itself as it's now a question of 'do i need a field or a prop'

image.png
#

and then there's this which just screams 'please make me autoproperties'

image.png
swift falcon
#

...? why, just why

#

you're making a lot of unnecessary properties

restive ice
#

no those four properties are neccessary, i need them to be available publically

#

but i don't want other classes to set them either.

#

hence the properties, which literally do that with { get; private set; }

#

tell me what's unnecessary about that

foggy dragon
dusk apex
#

Sounds intuitive but is it necessary? Should others really only have read access to these members (or any access at all)? They can already be acquired using GetComponent with reference of the instance. Caching sounds great but depending on how often it's used, a get component would suffice.

restive ice
foggy dragon
restive ice
dusk apex
#

Privatizing the fields makes sense as you're wanting to cache but not expose the members. However exposing component caches is usually for convenience or design-integrity purposes and not necessarily "necessary" - often associated overengineer.

  • There is no usage of OOP. Group things together. (UpImage, UpInput, Up)
  • GetComponent should never be called in an Update function.
  • Using string for binding is weak. Use enumeration instead.
  • The naming convention is not uniform private static SpriteManager instance; and private bool ImageChange=true;
  • There is static variable same if we are in a Singleton. public static bool CanChange = false;
  • The spacing is not uniform. ImageDelay <= 0&&CanChange
  • The mapping should be done with Serialized Data such as ScriptableObject
  • The UI should try to not be refresh every frame, but use events to refresh its state only when necessary.

it takes an Action<T>

Action being a function that has a void return type

so, it accepts a function that has one argument of type T

There's probably something in LINQ for that.

still can't figure out how to handle force-based VR hands, interested in the physical approach because simply setting the velocity will make all objects feel completely weightless, but all relatively simple approaches I've tried either result in extremely slow or extremely springy/orbiting hands. I have a theory that would require much more extensive calculations but it just feels so bootleg and wrong and I'm not even sure if my idea will work

steady moat
swift falcon
#

wdym

steady moat
#

Rigidbody.MovePosition() ?

swift falcon
#

there are two ways, either setting velocity or applying force, setting velocity removes weight and has issues with portraying inertia

#

same reasoning?

steady moat
#

You want things to have a weight ?

#

When hold ?

swift falcon
#

yes, so that picked up objects don't feel fake

steady moat
#

If you do that, you will "unsync" the hand with the real hand.

swift falcon
#

...yes, thats what I'm talking about

#

I have two separate objects, my controller (visible for testing purposes) and the hand itself

#

but whatever I try either results in the hand being super slow or too fast without dampening

#

and flying past the controller

steady moat
#

Do you have Use Gravity activated on the Rigidbdy ?

swift falcon
#

no

#

on the hand I'm assuming

#

I'm not that dumb

steady moat
#

It is always best to check it first.

swift falcon
#

yeah no the issue is with dampening

steady moat
#

Then, you could use Rigidbody.MovePosition with lerping.

#

Joint with the physics of the Rigidbody.

swift falcon
#

I am trying to use forces here, you have to keep in mind that we're talking about VR, hand collisions are a pain in the ass and you really want to avoid direct movement

steady moat
swift falcon
steady moat
#

And, you will always have orbiting with a force.

swift falcon
#

...I just said, I'm not stupid - I perfectly understand this

steady moat
#

This cannot be mitigate if you want to use force. You will need to remove the whole force at a specific points.

#

Redoing what a MovePosition does, but with the usage of a force.

#

Personally, I would do a lerping.

swift falcon
#

I do understand that I need dampening to negate the force, the issue is how much of it

#

...christ how hard is it to understand

#

simply teleporting will not give objects around any inertia or weight

#

you will be able to pick up and move them around without any inertia

#

but you are trying to solve an entirely different problem

steady moat
#

Alright, I might not understand your issue. However, this is seems like you do not want to try to use the available tool (Rigidbody.MovePosition), or to solve an impossible issue (Orbiting with forces).

# swift falcon while MovePosition would work to move the hands, it simply teleports them, spawn...

What do you mean by teleport ? It does not...

Rigidbody.MovePosition moves a Rigidbody and complies with the interpolation settings. When Rigidbody interpolation is enabled, Rigidbody.MovePosition creates a smooth transition between frames. Unity moves a Rigidbody in each FixedUpdate call. The position occurs in world space. Teleporting a Rigidbody from one position to another uses Rigidbody.position instead of MovePosition.

swift falcon
#

it still ignores any weight

I am using the standard asset character controller in a project, the project has a swimming mechanic that is work so far, but I need to rotate the character controller collider 90 degrees on the y when the player is in the swim animation. I have tried several different approaches but the collider always stays in its original position. this was the last thing i tried. swimRotation = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 90f, 0f);.

#

when the swim trigger is activated i have this characterController.transform.localRotation = swimRotation;

steady moat
swift falcon
#

...

#

that STILL ignores the weight of the held objects

#

when you hold something heavy it should have more inertia than something light

steady moat
#

It will.

swift falcon
#

you're just slowing the movement down to make it smooth

steady moat
#

Test it.

#

You have nothing to lose except maybe 15min.

#

If it works, it works. If it does not, then it does not.

#

This is what I would do.

#

Otherwise, you gonna fight with the velocity of the Rigidbody.

ashen yoke
#

that should only take effect on assets

swift falcon
thick socket
steady moat
ashen yoke
#

no idea, according to some blog post auto refresh should disable compilation

thick socket
swift falcon
#

@steady moat yeah just as I expected, your method gives the body exactly 0 inertia, making it completely unable to interact with other bodies

image.png
thick socket
#

lets see if its fixed

swift falcon
#

here I attached a spring joing

thick socket
ashen yoke
#

if its supposed to stop compilation but doesnt its a bug

thick socket
#

of course it is

#

ffs

ashen yoke
#

never had to turn it off, why do you?

thick socket
#

its annoying

ashen yoke
#

what is?

#

maybe there is alternative solution to this problem

steady moat
swift falcon
#

...yeah there's no point in this

static matrix
#

ok I have a question
I like having the individual wall blocks like in minecraft, but I have a feeling that is really inefecient and will cause a lot of lag. However, just scaling the blocks causes the material to not appear well. Do you guys have any idea how i can have the materals scale with the object? or can i not do that

ashen yoke
#

if your materials dont scale it means the shader is world space

#

use different shader

static matrix
#

no like

#

I think its a uv issue

ashen yoke
#

uvs dont change from scaling

static matrix
#

looks nice but is multiple objects, so more lag

image.png
#

it stretches

image.png
#

I think wait can I just

ashen yoke
#

yes its how its supposed to work

static matrix
#

do repeat instead of clamp or smth

#

id rather have it repeat

ashen yoke
#

if you want them to remain constant, you need to use world space shader

static matrix
#

hold on maybe this is easy

ashen yoke
#

typically its triplanar shader

swift aspen
ashen yoke
#

if youre on urp google how to make one

#

the nodes should be there already

static matrix
#

im not on urp

#

and too far in to switch

#

but

#

its fine theres other issues anyways

ashen yoke
#

then find/write one

static matrix
#

like the wall bases stretch out

#

cant do anything about that

#

I can also try mesh merging

#

that might work

#

ill take a look and see if I can do it before runtime

ashen yoke
#

you can

#

but its not pretty

static matrix
#

ok

#

ill try static batching instead

#

maybe that will helo

#

*help

#

this is an LTS version right?

image.png
ashen yoke
#

dont know, you can also use instancing

static matrix
#

yeah imma look at allllllllllllllllll the things

#

bcause 15 fps is prettty bad

#

so I need to fix it

ashen yoke
#

did you profile it?

static matrix
#

oh

#

yes I did

ashen yoke
#

just to exclude any fixes based on guesswork

static matrix
#

This is fine

#

well its just all under drawing opaque it seems

ashen yoke
#

are you in deferred?

static matrix
#

or much of it

#

where do I check that

ashen yoke

thick socket

        Application.targetFrameRate = Screen.currentResolution.refreshRateRatio;
static matrix
#

theres a lot but the profiler said it wasnt really that

ashen yoke
thick socket
#

"refresh rate is obsolute, use the one that doesn't work instead please"

static matrix
#

I changed my camera to deferred ill see if its any faster

ashen yoke
#

if it is faster it indicates a massive problem

static matrix
#

its slightly faster but also hideous

#

from ~20 to ~30

ashen yoke
#

yeah seems like you have lots of lights

static matrix
#

unless I changed something

ashen yoke
#

your lights are prefabbed?

static matrix
#

it just suddenly started looking ugly wtf

#

let me fix this first

ashen yoke
#

the ugly looking part is most likely your post processing

#

which needs to be setup differently sometimes for deferred/forward

static matrix
#

no like It was looking good then it stopped looking good

ashen yoke
#

ive no idea what you mean by that

static matrix

I mean

#

my textures died wtf

# swift falcon <@208422197348401152> yeah just as I expected, your method gives the body exactl...

It is true that rigidbody does not seem to interact correctly with other bodies if the body is not kinematic which does goes against what you were trying. Maybe the following would work for you. The only issue, is that forces applied to the hand are lost.

using UnityEngine;

[RequireComponent(typeof(Rigidbody))]
public class Hand : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField]
    private float _velocitySync = 1.0f;

    [SerializeField]
    private Transform _target = null;

    private Rigidbody _rigidbody;

    private void Start()
    {
        _rigidbody = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 vector = _target.position - _rigidbody.position;
        Vector3 velocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(_velocitySync * vector.normalized, vector.sqrMagnitude / Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        _rigidbody.velocity = velocity;
    }
}
static matrix
#

should be an easy fix

#

wdym by "are the lights prefabbed"

#

they are I believe

ashen yoke
#

do you have a prefab per light type

#

alright

#

then edit the prefabs in such a way that the light range goes only as far as it is absolutely necessary for it

static matrix
#

okki

ashen yoke
#

light range is the key perf drain

#

also the shadows

static matrix
#

im also a blithering idiot I accidently turned something off I think

ashen yoke
#

but that should be handled by "important light"

static matrix
#

ok ive chopped the lights down to 18 from 42

#

should help

ashen yoke
#

you can balance that with intencity

static matrix
#

yeah

green oyster
#

but why would the lights kill yo textures

static matrix
#

ok so
pros its faster now
cons its different
pros 2 I actually like it more

green oyster
#

btw if lights are static and dont move, u can bake them

static matrix
static matrix
#

so I cant bake them

ashen yoke
#

do you have shadows?

static matrix
#

yes

#

its up to ~35

#

which is good enough for me for the editor

ashen yoke
#

lower shadows to absolute bare minimum necessary per light if you can

#

on top of that, disable "cast shadows" on all mesh renderers that dont need them

static matrix
#

bibut they loook niiiice

ashen yoke
#

its all procedural right?

static matrix
#

ok but I'll chop shadows next if things get worse

#

yeah

ashen yoke
#

you were the one we talked about navmesh?

static matrix
#

well I do the layout

#

yep

#

thats me

ashen yoke
#

alright, i dont know if there are already solutions but you need to find some culling solution that works at runtime

static matrix
#

its good for right now

ashen yoke
#

unity built in requires offline baking

#

culling will give you the most perf boost of all

static matrix
#

like occlusion culling?

ashen yoke
#

its old but has lots of stars, didnt test

static matrix
#

ooh ok

#

ill look into it

ashen yoke
#

most likely works, there are probably more

#

another one

swift falcon
#

its pointless

ashen yoke
#

yeah there are plenty of those

swift falcon
#

maybe its language barrier, dunno

#

maybe I've fried my brain and having issues with explaining again

steady moat
static matrix
#

how does it look
imma stylize the bars later dw

image.png
swift falcon
#

wait, wdym by forces then

steady moat
swift falcon
#

OH I get what you've done there, hmm

#

yeah this could work, I'm assuming that dragging a heavy object also would be harder

steady moat
#

It is.

swift falcon
#

didn't expect that of all things to work, huh, I think I'll need to look into how unity handles velocity again

steady moat
#

But, if you want the hand to react to something like an explosion.

swift falcon
#

apologies for my previous messages

steady moat
#

It wont work.

swift falcon
#

yeah that can be done separately

#

huge thanks

gritty spindle
static matrix
#

lemme try no shadows see if it looks nice still

steady moat
#

Next time, work with me. Not against. I do not know everything.

swift falcon
#

I tried a slightly different approach and it didn't work before

static matrix
#

ooh it does still look good and its slightly faster

ashen yoke
static matrix
#

hmmmm

#

how could I remedy that

ashen yoke
#

also if you want to push for realism you can use a cheap trick

static matrix
#

maybe no grain

static matrix
ashen yoke
#

Hey, so I have an interface called IPausable. As the name suggests, it is for making objects pause themselves when the main TimeManager class tells them to. The interface has a function called OnPause() and I want to call this function in all inerfaces of this type when the game is paused. How can I do this without using FindGameObjectsOfType() and such? I thought of initialising them and making everyone add themselves into a static list at start but I don't think that's very practical either. How would I go about achieving this?

leaden ice
peak halo
#

Hm yeah I thought of that too but didn't know if it was a good idea. Thanks a lot!

leaden ice
#

I wouldn't make IPausable at all

#

I'd probablty just have TimeManager have an OnPause event

#

and things that care about the game pausing and unpausing can just subscribe themselves to that event

#

you could even make it a static event to make things easy

I'm having a problem (I think I'm just dumb).. I have this gameObject, it has to move 90 units. I need to clamp the max movement speed, so I have a maxMovement variable, and I need to multiply that by time.deltaTime, to make it framerate independent. But, now I need to calculate the max amount of time it could take the object to move the 90 units and I'm having a brainfart on how to do that, with time.deltaTime not being a constant. Could anybody point me in the right direction?

I'm using a ScriptableObject as a database of GameObjects that I want to instantiate at runtime. Can I not do that? I'm just trying to get a reference to a gameobject as a prefab, but it seems to be instantiating the game object as well..

    }

// elsewhere..

GameObject newProp = Instantiate(newPropPrefab, propTransform);
// do some stuff to newProp .. but nothing to "newPropPrefab"

leaden ice

not sure I understand the question/issue?

modern creek

I'm getting two instances instead of one

leaden ice
#

you're likely calling Instantiate twice

#

add Debug.Log

modern creek

PropDatabase.GetProp just returns a gameobject that's referenced in the scriptable object

leaden ice

maybe your code is running twice and you don't realize it

    ballAnchorRot.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(anchorRotationEulers);
    }
#

In this case, it rotates 90 eulers, I set the maxSpeed to 800, so that should take, at max speed, 0.1125 seconds to complete. But it takes 0.23-ish at max speed. I confirmed that it does clamp every frame

Yeah it's whatever IDE you're using, the Unity package you installed for supporting it that registers these custom analyzers and completions

hidden compass
#

i used Expansion and SurroundsWith but there seems to be a <SnippetType>Refactoring</SnippetType> as well 🤔

#

ya, thats the only thing i see different is Refactoring

ive been needing that w/o ever knowing it.. and if i can't get this working i'm still pleased 🙂

so then i could type if(Physics.Ra.. and tab it out

it makes it soo.. when you press Tab it shuffles across all the parameters you can change

this is probably default behavior.. i changed it back and removed Refactoring, and it still allows this

is it possible to expose class/struct member only to certain class/struct (no inheritance)?

much of those rules have to do with either inheritance or assembly boundaries though

granite nimbus
leaden ice
latent latch

Maybe like a delegate to a getter if you wanna subscribe to it

leaden ice

if you expose your object as an interface you can tightly control which members are exposed

granite nimbus

hmm, both approaches seem good. thanks

somber nacelle

depending on the usecase, you could even declare one type inside the other and the nested type would be able to access the non-public members of the containing type

in fact one is even static and the other is not

well i had no way of knowing that considering your vague "certain class member" statement. and is also the reason i started with "depending on usecase"

I have a ScriptableObject A. In A.OnValidate, I fire a System.Action OnValuesUpdated, so that methods subscribed to it can get updated.
I have a MonoBehaviour B, which has a reference to a A ScriptableObject, which I set in the editor. In B.OnValidate, I subscribe to A.OnValuesUpdated.
When I modify A in the editor, the B.OnValidate fires as expected, but is uninitialized. For example, if I have an int on B, and set the default value of it to 1, but in the editor I set it to 3, the OnValidate will debug.log it as 1.
How do I fix this?

It does not seem like what you are describing is an initialization process. For example, if I have an int on B, and set the default value of it to 1, but in the editor I set it to 3, the OnValidate will debug.log it as 1.

If you set the value at 3, then you should get the value with a value of 3.

Hello people, I'm having trouble with vectors and the OnDrawGizmos 😵, I can't manage to make it do what I want, displayed in this image

#

here's what I have so far in the code section

# 
 void OnDrawGizmos()
    {
        foreach(var connection in connections)
        {
            bool hitted = Physics.BoxCast(connection.GetPosition(), Vector3.one, transform.position + connection.GetPosition(), Quaternion.identity, connection.DistanceFromCenter * 2);
            Gizmos.color = hitted ? Color.red: Color.green;
            Gizmos.DrawWireCube(connection.GetPosition(), Vector3.one*2);
        }
    }
#

I can't get it to "extend" in the correct direction

To extend the box you need to use a direction vector, e.g. (0,0,1), not the (1,1,1) vector. If you want it rotated into local space of the object you need to set the gizmo matrix to the transform matrix of the object.

But the DrawWireCube() method only gets a center and a size, I assume I should calculate the center of what I want but I'm not the best in vector calculations, all I can get together is : I have a middle point, the center of the object, I have the pseudo direction I want to go, that's one of the four points, let's say the forward one, is there something I can do to calculate stuff and tell it: "hey, draw this, move it in this direction by this amount?

is there a way to detect a unity action during a loop?

#

public static event Action onSubmit;

cosmic rain
#

So basically an event. Checking if it's null simply checks if anything is subscribed to it.

rain wasp
#

*event action

cosmic rain
#

You should subscribe to it outside your coroutine and when it triggers raise a flag that can be checked in the coroutine.

#

Or maybe even stop the coroutine from the subscribed method.

#

Along with the logic for displaying all the text.

I'm kind of at a crossroads for what movement method to use.

I was using the 2d rigidbody movePosition, but that interferes with gravity.
I was thinking of switching to setting the velocity in the RigidBody, but the unity doc recommends I don't do that.
I don't want to use AddForce as I lose too much control.
Lastly, I could try to make my own movement tech but then I would have to re-implement a lot of the existing functionality like gravity, collision etc.

What are other people doing?

Some extra information:
Many characters will be using the same movement tech, not just the player.
I want somewhat decent control over their motion.
The game is 2d, side view.

#

Any issues or benefits you encountered while using any of the systems would be helpful

It isn't actually a 2d platformer, they just share the view. So definitely agree that for 2d platformers faked 2d gravity will feel better for the player

# river kelp I'm kind of at a crossroads for what movement method to use. I was using the 2d...

I work in 3D, though the options with physics are similar, I use velocity in FixedUpdate to handle physics-related movement, I use a Vector3 (in your case, maybe a Vector2) and MoveToward or Lerp that vector to the value I want, instantly add to it for jump, and subtract from it over time at a fixed rate in Vector3.down to apply unique gravity for that object/player, because I have the velocity managed, and I know I only manipulate it in specific places of my code, its one way you could handle your movement, MovePosition is often used for kinematic rigidbodies, if your implementing your own logic, as you pointed out may be more hassle than its worth, depending on how complex of a system you might be after, Unity also has a First Person and Third Person controller, you can maybe take a look at how their code is structured for movement, and translate it to 2D, essentially removing an axis

hey is possible to make my slopeMovement = zero just before i leave the ground/jump because i believe there's still values other than 0 before i do jump causing unwanted movement.

private void slopeSlider()
    {
        //1 Bug: When player gains speed by sliding they can jump with excesive speed and the vector.
        if (isGrounded == false)
        {
            targetSpeed = sprintSpeed;
            slideMovement = Vector3.zero;
            return;
        }

        if (SlopeChecker() && slopeAngle != 0)
        {
            if (isSliding)
            {
                isSlopeSliding = true;
                Vector3 slopeDirection = Vector3.up - slopeHit.normal * Vector3.Dot(Vector3.up, slopeHit.normal); //Gets direction of the slope
                slideMovement = -slopeDirection; //Makes it so -slopedirection goes down instead up
            }
            else
            {
                isSlopeSliding = false;
                slideMovement = Vector3.zero;
            }
        slideMovement = (Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(slideMovement, slopeHit.normal).normalized) * currentSpeed; //Makes players stay on slopes
        controller.Move(slideMovement * Time.deltaTime); //Move the character along slopeDirection

So in that sense gravity is off for your objects?

It's a good idea to limit the amount of places I alter velocity. Are you directly setting it when you move or are you += setting it?

I am applying a constant downward force to act as my gravity, yeah, that does mean my player or object using the system would fall at a different rate than Units default physics, if I choose to change the default values, it allows me to change how fast I want gravity to be for the player, and how floaty I might want my jump to feel, maybe I want a trigger that changes things that enter it to zero gravity like space, etc

I set my velocity with interpolation, for example it may look something like rb.velocity = Vector3.MoveToward(someVector3, someTargetValue, t);, here are some resources I found helpful for building mine:

If you want to know the very moment you leave the ground/your bool becomes false, you could setup a second bool and use that as a "last state" to act like an event (or you could call an actual event too), for example:

bool lastSlopeState = false;
bool currentSlopeState = false;
System.Action onLeftGround;

if(someCondition) {currentSlopeState = true; DoOtherStuff();}
else if(someOtherCondition) {currentSlopeState = false; DoMoreStuff();}

if (currenttSlopeState != lastSlopeState) {onLeftGround?.Invoke(); lastSlopeState = currentSlopeState ;}

You can do something similar for landed or any specific condition you want to get notified about, it does mean youd need some extra variables and statements, but it could help, in this case you could subscribe to onLeftGround and reset whatever values you need there

broken nest
# stuck wigeon i believe this is what your looking for, its in every state that way u can jump ...

I get it. That makes sense. I think the problem is a "kind of" race condition.
So you're setting the slideMovement to 0 when you enter the jump state, but as far as I can tell, you continue to run slopeSlider() every update which will set it back. I think you were counting on your ground check to be false immediately after you jump, but that will almost certainly not be the case. You probably need to find a way to give yourself a grace period after hitting the jump button where you don't do a ground check.

# river kelp Thanks a lot! This is a lot of information, I'm currently reading through it and...

Np, there are often many ways to approach problems, and each part of the API will have its uses in certain cases, if your confused about the functions of how rigidbody movement works, take a read through the docs, often they also explain use case and limitations of components API, but it is certainly good to also get some other opinions maybe when more people may be coming online later

ahh so when the player slides it changes the slideMovement Vector to the angle of the slope so player slide to the bottom (first part before jump), but when you do that and then jump u get that extra boosted jump where you go back where u started sliding. (not intended) i think the slideMovement still has the values of the slope angle before you jump which gives it that forward boost.

That will also have problems since you are dealing with slopes and your character stays vertical on them leaving a gap directly below, which I'm guessing is where your ground detection sphere is
