#

In unity it can make sense to make that interface an abstract class though since interface references can’t be serialized by unity

#

But you’d use it like an interface by convention

hearty sphinx
#

I can't remember exactly, but I got a problem when I used abstraction and solved it by using interface instead

#

Or vise versa

#

Can't really remember right now

cold parrot
hearty sphinx
#

I think it was that

#

What problems would I face if I just made Tile a class and included it as an object in other types ?

hey guys!! I having some issue with a custom editor I made using the ui toolkit... so I am applying it on a scriptableObject script and when I click on one of the assets, I get this error:

The Error:

TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'EnumData.WildCardEvents' from assembly 'Assembly-CSharp'.
System.RuntimeTypeHandle.GetTypeByName (System.String typeName, System.Boolean throwOnError, System.Boolean ignoreCase, System.Boolean reflectionOnly, System.Threading.StackCrawlMark& stackMark, System.Boolean loadTypeFromPartialName) (at <890d6fe26e8c408ea64b353e791fafce>:0)

The Script:

    public override VisualElement CreateInspectorGUI()
    {
        Initialise();

        TreeSetup();
        
        return root;
    }

    public void Initialise()
    {
        EditorApplication.playModeStateChanged += OnPlayModeStateChanged;
        root = new VisualElement();
        if(main_window_uxml == null || main_window_uss == null)
        {
            main_window_uxml =
                AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<VisualTreeAsset>(
                    "Assets/--DEBUG_AND_TESTING/Wildcard data asset/WildcardUI.uxml");
            main_window_uss =                 AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<StyleSheet>(
                "Assets/--DEBUG_AND_TESTING/Wildcard data asset/WildcardUI.uss");
        };
        
        main_window_uxml.CloneTree(root);
        
        _target = target as Wildcards_ScriptableObjects;
    }

I have an enum element in the editor which is "WildCardEvents" and its coming from a separate class called EnumData... I never had this issue before... I just discovered it this morning😐😐
Some guidance on this would be appreciated

I'm trying to draw a line between two UI elements (for a skill tree), I just cant get the position of the both UI elements right. Tried alot of things from Google but none seems to be working, when the debug it says the position of all the UIs are same (its not), what can I be doing wrong?

prime sinew
#

and what are you using to draw the line

lone umbra
#

I tried transform.position, rectTransform.position, rectTransform.rect.center and tried few other things things too like WorldToScreenSpace and stuff...

#

This is my line renderer

prime sinew
#

did you try.. rectTransform.anchoredPosition? @lone umbra

lone umbra
#

not sure, giving it a try

#

yeah just did, not working, shows all positions as 0, 0, 0

#

for all elements

prime sinew
#

can you show the inspector of the elements you're trying to draw the line between?

lone umbra
prime sinew
#

oh they're under layoutgroups..

lone umbra
#

they are in a Vertical Layout

#

yes

prime sinew
#

where are you getting the UI positions?

#

in Start? Awake?

lone umbra
#

well not in its own script, alot of things are getting called, drawing line is the last thing I'm doing, but it all starts from the Start of Game Manager

prime sinew
#

can you temporarily test this

#

basically make the Start a coroutine

#

and make it wait a frame

#

see if it says the position is something other than 0

#

yeah I just tested it. you need to wait a frame before the position or size of elements inside of a layoutgroup is actually correct

lone umbra
#

hmm thats not working for me, maybe because my items are dynamic? The script is spawning both the LayoutGroups and the items in them, so maybe I have to wait, after doing that?

prime sinew
#

maybe

#

you might need to use the forcerebuildlayout thing

#

i'm testing it on my end actually, but i havent worked with line renderer in a while, and having trouble getting it to draw

lone umbra
#

haha yeah, layout groups are so bad, some quality assets on store has that forcebuild added to their scripts I've noticed before

heady iris
#

is the problem that there's a one-frame delay before the layout group applies?

prime sinew
#

depends on what you mean by problem, haha

lone umbra
#

I think so, I've had alot of issues getting layoutgroups to act properly, specially if you are instantiating from code

prime sinew
#

it's kind of a quirk. it's weird

lone umbra
#

im waiting a whole sec still my points are same lol

prime sinew
#

i'm actually getting that issue too

heady iris
#

I've not had issues myself, hmm

prime sinew
#

it's different before I convert to world point

#

but after i convert, it's same

#

are you using a perspective or orthographic camera @lone umbra

lone umbra
heady iris
#

wait a sec

prime sinew
heady iris
#

are you using Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint

prime sinew
#

something about this, memxor. you need to add the z coordinate or something

heady iris
#

Z=0 -> every screen point is the same world point

prime sinew
#

yeah that

heady iris
prime sinew
#

it's got a nice interactive diagram in it

heady iris
#

ooh pretty diagram

prime sinew
#

yeah it's awesome

heady iris
#

it just needs an ortho camera example

lone umbra
#

but do we even need World Point? in this case?

prime sinew
lone umbra
#

Oh no, I made my own UI line renderer, it not Unity's Line Renderer

prime sinew
#

Ohhhhhhhh

heady iris
#

that works in the UI?

#

oh wait, duh, of course it does

#

because you called it the UI Line Renderer

I have a MonoBehavior script that subscribes to some actions of a ScriptableObject. Everything is fine, I press play, and when I stop the game view, I get an MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'MyScript' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it. error.
Even though I don't destroy the game object anywhere. Is there a different object instance before I press play, and after the play mode ends?

PS: the error is shown after the event from the SO is fired again in the editor, meaning the script doesnt have access to the same isntance anymore i presume

thin aurora
#

@signal moon @lean sail I promised to create an example save system (#💻┃code-beginner message), here it is.

https://github.com/PillowCoding/UnityExamples-SaveSystem
The project contains a SaveManager singleton that keeps track of saving and loading. There is a sample scene with a manager that spawns random squares, and also a script that displays buttons, which calls both the singleton and manager to do stuff. Note I spawn the squares in 3d context and not in UI context so it might be weird. I'll change that later.

The idea is that SaveManager is informed of the stuff to save, and it will keep track of these references. When you tell it to save, it will collect all data to save, and save your Json at a location where it will persist (by default this is %appdata%\LocalLow\<company name>\SaveSystemExample (company name is probably DefaultCompany)). The same thing is done for loading.

Please note I whipped this up in the free time I had in the past 3-4 hours, so it is definitely able to be improved.
Feel free to fork, watch, whatever, this repo. Stars are always appreciated, especially since I aim to make that account more active in the future.

lone umbra
#

And also do a null check while calling your action

#

action?.Invoke();

quaint crypt
heady iris
#

what are you subscribing to?

#

show your code.

quaint crypt
#

the error comes if I do anything in MapGenerator (AFTER the game has stopped; when the event is fired) related to the instance of the object (GetComponent, or gameObject.GetInstanceID() etc)

#

If I trigger a rebuild (by changing a script), everything works again, until I enter and exit play mode

#

it's like the instance that subscribed to the event doesn't exist anymore

#

and the subscription happens in the editor when the application is not running

lone umbra
# quaint crypt

why are you unsubscribing and subscribing again in the same place?

thin aurora
#

Unsubscribing when nothing exists will not do anything. If they already subscribed they now make sure that they don't subscribe twice

#

A better question would be; Why is this done in OnValidate and not OnEnable/OnDisable?

steep herald
#

Can we bake navmesh based on colliders rather than renderers w/o the navmeshsurface component from the public repo?

steady moat
steep herald
#

@steady moat Uses renderers in 2021.3.10f1. Objects w/o renderers but colliders enabled are ignored

swift falcon
#

i have a Cube IN a Cube how would i find that Cube that is IN the cube in a script

#

like this

#

how would i acces the teleportPoint

#

and the script is in Shrine

#

isnt there a way to like do gameObject.Find

thin aurora
#

It being a child of a parent object makes no difference

#

If you got a reference to the Shrine object, you can also do shrine.transform.GetChild(0)

swift falcon
#

oooo

#

okay

#

that is what i was looking for

#

thanks

thin aurora
# swift falcon thanks

Just remember this gets the first child, so if you have multiple things in there it's not guaranteed you get what you want

#

There are other ways of doing it, though

heady iris
#

I dunno when that feature dropped (vs when they switched from the repo to a package in the registry)

swift falcon
swift falcon
thin aurora
# swift falcon is there a way to get that child but with a name instead of an index

I guess something like this:

// You can use the methods `First`, `FirstOrDefault`, `Single`, `SingleOrDefault` and `Where` here.
// Note all these have different outcomes.
var teleportPoint = shring.transform.SingleOrDefault(x => x.gameObject.name == "TeleportPoint");
if (teleportPoint == null)
{
  Debug.LogWarning("Teleport point was not found.");
}
heady iris
#

I think you should set this up in advance

thin aurora
#

There are a lot of ways to do this

heady iris
#

Assign these references in the inspector before the game even starts

swift falcon
steep herald
thin aurora
#

x would represent a child in this case

swift falcon
heady iris
thin aurora
swift falcon
#

ok

thin aurora
#

The latter two are variants of a delegate

steep herald
#

@heady iris I do have experimental packages enabled. Any idea what the package name is?

heady iris
#

Look at the documentation for the older versions of the AI Navigation package

#

Experimental packages aren’t “enabled”; they don’t show up in the Unity Registry until you manually install them

steep herald
#

Unless they've recently renamed something experimental packages

#

This was named experimental package for as long as they've allowed access to it

#

Until up to 2021

#

And sure this allowed unity to list them via the package manager

heady iris
#

Huh. Maybe I’m wrong, then!

#

Anyway, check the docs

quaint crypt
quaint crypt
#

but in the editor, not the actual app runtime

thin aurora
#

Hmmmm

#

I haven't worked a lot with editor specific stuff but I would assume there is a better way to do this

quaint crypt
#

well, i've somehow figured out what happens, but unsure how to solve it. in the editor, there is one instance of my GO that subscribes to those events. when I press play, the same instance persists during application run, but is destroyed at the end of play, and OnDestroy gets called. Then as soon as the editor loads up again, onvalidate is called again and it resubscribes again, but the old subscription is still there for a GO that was destroyed. problem is if I try unsubscribing during OnDestroy it doesn't seem to want to unsubscribe for some reason

signal moon
thin aurora
# signal moon I'll check it out in a second, also to the questions in <#497874004401586176>. n...
  1. GameManager is a singleton here. Look for spots in it where _instance and Instance are used, because these are the parts that involve the singleton here. To put it simple, a singleton is an instance of something that is expected to only exist once. Basically the same as static, but the singleton has more functionality (such as existing as a gameobject).
  2. You were using json with JSONUtility. This is very bad because it sucks really bad, and has a lot of limitations. Matter of fact, if I used it in the example project, I would get empty json back and it would not work. I use Newtonsoft instead, and this is actually added to your project by default with the latest LTS version. Perhaps they know JSONUtility sucks?
  3. You can view how I used my json in SaveManager. Look for JsonConvert and everything around it.

I also used JContainer, which is something special. This is something from Newtonsoft and if you deserialize something without giving a proper class to deserialize in (or in my case I used object which does the same thing), it will deserialize it into something that inherits from JContainer.
Depending on the type, it will be either:

  • JToken, for objects.
  • JArray, for collections.

Since you would want to support both, and since both inherit directly from JContainer, I used JContainer here.
You also got JToken, which JContainer inherits from. You can also use this.

#

It's quite a big topic, so I suggest you google what most of those things are. It's very (very!) useful to know how this stuff works.

#

Feel free to ask questions regarding the repo

signal moon
#

downloading 16f1 xD

thin aurora
#

You should be able to fork the repo and then open it in that version, but I never looked to deep if anything else is needed

quaint crypt
#

is there a way to hook into the creation of MonoBehavior GO's at editor time? clearly an object is created then as well. start / awake only execute on playtime.

quartz folio
glacial lion
#

my instantiated objects aren't showing up at runtime

#

they appear in the editor but they don't in the game view

#

oh my god nevermind i think i fixed it

#

the z axis was at like -311 i may be stupid

signal moon
#

also almost everything in the GameManager is gibberish to me

thin aurora
thin aurora
#

If you mean SaveManager, then I'm not sure what's so scary about a file that's 121 lines, because that's very small

signal moon
#

it's more the code in those 121 lines

thin aurora
#

Well, if something confuses you, you can ask me

#

I didn't comment that much because it's self explanatory really

signal moon
#

like I've used an interface once by just following a tutorial

#

what is TSaveable?

thin aurora
# 
public void Register<TSaveable>(TSaveable saveable)
  where TSaveable : MonoBehaviour, ISaveable
{
  ...
}

This is a generic type parameter. the where part under it is related to it.
Basically I do not have a specific type to pass for saveable, because whatever must be saved must be both a MonoBehaviour and it must implement the ISaveable interface, By specifying a generic type parameter (which is the <TSaveable> part), I tell the method that it must somehow satisfy that, and you can then use that in the method (in my case I used it for the saveable parameter). You can also name it differently, but usually it is prefixed with T, and I considered this most informative).

#

saveable will also have all properties, fields and method that exist in MonoBehaviour. I don't really use it here except for saveable.Key which exists in ISaveable, and saveable.name which exists in MonoBehaviour.

#

This assures that whatever is added to the list in that method is valid. I could also just have object saveable as a parameter, but then there is no way to make sure that it is a MonoBehaviour, nor if it can save at all.

signal moon
#

but then you can only save monobehaviors

thin aurora
#

You could remove that constraint, I don't think I have any specific reason as to why only those are allowed, other than displaying the name of the object

#

Then the only constrain is ISaveable and you could change the method definition to public void Register(ISaveable saveable), because that all fits inline now and a Generic type parameter is not required.

#

I guess I did it because I don't see a specific reason why non-Monobehaviour instances should be saveable, but it really does not matter

signal moon
# 
public class RecolorData
{
    public Texture2D InputTexture;
    public Material OutputMaterial;
    public List<Color> Colors;

    public void CreateMaterial()
    {
        //some code idk
    }
}

if I have this simple class and I want to save instances of this class in JSON, how would I go about it with this system

thin aurora
#

As it is right now, it expects a manager that implements ISaveable, and this should fill your RecolorData class when ToSaveable is called.

#

You then use Register from the SaveManager and register this manager so the SaveManager knows it has stuff to save

signal moon
#

it's just that I have no idea how to use it

thin aurora
#

Good luck figuring it out 😛

#

Saving data also has many ways of working, this is just something I came up with and whipped up real quick.
I mostly like it because the savemanager can keep track of what to save, and there's no need for events and all that

#

I only dislike the JContainer stuff, but oh well

swift falcon
# 
NodeObjectTransform.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh = Resources.Load<Mesh>("Cube.001");

makes the mesh filter a "None" and ofc makes the object invisible? this is how you change the mesh isnt it?

knotty sun
swift falcon
#

wasnt sure if the line was right or not with syntax

knotty sun
#

code is fine

swift falcon
#

I have a folder called 'Resources' with the mesh but not actually sure if that is how you set it up

knotty sun
#

screenshot the folder

swift falcon
knotty sun
#

looks ok, screenshot the inspector for Cube.001

hexed pecan
#

What kind of file is Cube.001?

swift falcon
hexed pecan
#

Unity treats 3D files as gameobjects

knotty sun
#

not a Mesh then

swift falcon
#

ah

#

does it need to be .obj?

hexed pecan
#

So you have to load it as a GO and get its MeshFilter.mesh

swift falcon
#

thank you

swift falcon
hexed pecan
#

Like what is your script

swift falcon
#

its just that the script doesnt change it

hexed pecan
#

What is your script though

swift falcon
#

for loading the asset?

# 
public void GrabResource()
    {
        ResourceAmount-=1;
        if(ResourceAmount <= 0)
        {
            NodeObjectTransform.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh = Resources.Load<Mesh>("Cube.001");
        }
        Debug.Log($"ResourceAmount: {ResourceAmount} Node: {NodeObjectTransform.name}");
    }

it was this

knotty sun
#

look at your code
you are saying Cube.001 is a Mesh so load it. But Cube.001 is not a mesh it is a GameObject

hexed pecan
#

Again, you need to Resources.Load the FBX as a GameObject

#

Then access the MeshFilter.mesh of that loaded GameObject

swift falcon
#

it's a gamejolt?

mesh.png
#

it says its a Mesh

#

gameobject* not gamejolt

hexed pecan
#

If its an FBX then unity treats it as a prefab

#

So a gameobject, yes

swift falcon
#

isnt the cube different from the actual fbx

hexed pecan
#

Yeah you actually need to access its children if im not mistaken

swift falcon
#

so me saying ""Cube.001"" it cant see that?

#

cuz the inspector of that obj says its mesh

hexed pecan
#

Load BrokenStone or whatever the root object is called

swift falcon
#

it doesnt look like a stone i know xdd

#

can you say "BrokenStoneResource/Cube.001"

#

ah nvm it worked anyway thanks

#

"BrokenStoneResource/Cube.001
would that work too or no

hexed pecan
swift falcon
#

and i thought i couldn't reference the stone thingy since it was a gameobject

#

so why did that work now lol

hexed pecan
#

You can reference GameObjects just like any other objects/assets

swift falcon
#

yeah but when we tried last time it didnt do anything

#

i just re imported it

whats the best way to remove multiple Items from a list?

then the index of all the others I found is now off by1

prime sinew

Iterate through the list from the back with a reverse for loop

#

if you type forr in VS

#

#

I'm having to remove some items to not break a sort and then adding bak in

#

9th time, Im sure this one is the charm

fervent furnace
#

interesting problem
i come up with a two pointer algorithm
first you need a O(1) lookup table to check if the index is "dirty" (needed to be removed)
a pointer goes from forward and a pointer goes from backward
if forward pointer meets dirty element, then decrease the backward pointer until it meets a non dirty element (now the lookup table mentioned on above for O(1) checking), remove as swap "back"
O(n) algorithm but ofc you need O(n) space

thick socket
#

I meant 10th time is the charm?

hello there, i am back and i am now trying the solution you provided, but i have a small issue with this, and that is, that when i exit the game (from the editor) i get these errors:
these come from this part of the code:

    async void Receive()
    {
        if (socket == null || socket.Available < 0) return;
        byte[] buffer = new byte[bufSize];

        // this line right here -- the above check is apparently not working
        await socket.ReceiveFromAsync(buffer, SocketFlags.None, epFrom);
        Debug.Log("Received: " + Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer));
    }

is there any way to check if it is disposed before accessing it? thank you very much!!

#

oh wait

#

i just noticed the < instead of <=

#

dang im an idiotXD

#

anyways it seems that correctly checking the Available property is enough

how can I use that to read the values from the byte array got from the ReceiveFrom method?

oh wait i think i got it

        byte[] buffer = new byte[bufSize];
        BinaryWriter binWriter = new BinaryWriter(new MemoryStream());
        binWriter.Write(buffer);
        BinaryReader binReader = new BinaryReader(binWriter.BaseStream);
        byte packetType = binReader.ReadByte();
        switch (packetType)
        {
            case 0:
                // ... handle connection
                string name = binReader.ReadString();
                // ... etc
                break;
            case 1:
                // ... handle message
                string message = binReader.ReadString();
                // ... etc
                break;
            // ... etc
        }

can that be optimized? 🤔

Optimized or refactored? And is it an issue or are you simply wanting to prematurely optimize?

I'm trying to disable a field in the inspector for my component depending on whether or not a checkbox is checked. As an example, think disabling the "movement speed" slider if the "moves" checkbox is off. I can't find the attributes to let me connect to fields like this though

But I see some unity standard components have this behavior

posting a video of the issue I had with my VR hand rotation.

            Quaternion rotation = controller.rotation * Quaternion.Inverse(transform.rotation);
            rotation.ToAngleAxis(out float rotationDegrees, out Vector3 rotationAxis);

            Vector3 angularVelocity = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(_angularSync * rotationAxis * Mathf.Deg2Rad, Mathf.Pow(rotationDegrees * Mathf.Deg2Rad, _angularPower) / Time.fixedDeltaTime);
            _rigidbody.angularVelocity = angularVelocity;

still no idea what's wrong with it

#

everything is fine but at 90 degrees on each axis the hand does a 360

#

OH

#

3 days later I found it

#

I attempted reversing the rotationDegrees if it has gone over 180 but I also needed to reverse the axis

            if (rotationDegrees > 180)
            {
                rotationDegrees = 360 - rotationDegrees;
                rotationAxis = -rotationAxis;
            }
#

now it works perfectly

You can do it very easily with reflection.

hello, im struggling with ontriggerenter and ontriggerleave at the moment. I have included the script below but basically, i want to have abovePipe be set to false unless the player enters a specific collider and if they are in that collider, they can press r to rotate. Everything else in the script is working currently except for the fact that abovePipe is always true even when i first spawn in the scene and haven't entered the trigger. Is anyone able to help me figure out how to fix this?

public class rotate_script2 : MonoBehaviour
{
    public int rotateDegrees;
    public int rotateTarget1;
    public int rotateTarget2;
    public bool correctPosition = false;
    public GameObject pipe;
    public bool abovePipe = false;

    void OnTriggerEnter (Collider coll)
    {
        abovePipe = true;
    }

    void OnTriggerLeave (Collider coll)
    {
        abovePipe = false;
    }

    void Update()
    {
        if (abovePipe == true)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.R))
            {
                Debug.Log("WOW");
                transform.Rotate(0,rotateDegrees,0);

                float yRotation = pipe.transform.eulerAngles.y;

                //check whether the y angle of the game object's rotation vector is equal to the rotationTarget.
                if(rotateTarget1 == yRotation)
                {
                    correctPosition = true;
                }

                else 
                {
                    if(rotateTarget2 == yRotation)
                    {
                        correctPosition = true;
                    }

                    else
                    {
                        correctPosition = false;
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

#

Did you put a debug log message in OnTriggerEnter? I'm guessing that it's being called and set constantly.

#

OnTriggerEnter will be called for any collision, so to set the flag you want you need to filter the collider you are colliding against to the type you want

junior vapor
#

yeah it's being called when the scene starts

junior vapor
#

if you are able to explain that is, if u cant its ok

warped quartz
#

You need to set something on the other collider that the other game object is attached to that will indicate it's the type of collider you care about. You can use a tag or a layer.

#

Then when you get the OnTriggerEnter you check for that tag or layer before setting your flag

junior vapor
#

right now i was planning on using the same script and attaching it to several objects

warped quartz
#

Ah so this script isn't attached to your player

junior vapor
#

no its on an object

warped quartz
#

It's attached to your objects, but accepts input.

#

You don't need to have multiple scripts then

#

The collider you are interested in is the one on your player.

#

So you need to add your player to a layer or add a tag to your player, then check for that.

junior vapor
#

(for context, this is what the box is like out of play mode

image.png
junior vapor
#

after right?

warped quartz
#

It would be something like this in both enter and exit:

if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
  abovePipe = true;
}
#

You have to check that you are entering a collision with the player on enter before setting the flag, then again check that you are exiting a collision with the player on exit before resetting the flag.

junior vapor
#

okay that fixed so that it isnt always true, but now its not turning true at all lmfao

    void OnTriggerEnter (Collider coll)
    {
        if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player")
        {
            abovePipe = true;
        }
    }

    void OnTriggerLeave (Collider coll)
    {
        if (coll.gameObject.tag == "Player")
        {
            abovePipe = false;
        }
    }

i have made this code that generates trees with my terrain generator but it generates so many and i dont know why

#

all my values are correct

you're not checking if a tree should spawn or not, you're spawning them no matter what so it makes a grid of them

yes it is monoBehaviour

and is it normal to left it null, at end i want to save this garage list to Json file but it always empty

somber nacelle

then you're doing it wrong. you should be using Instantiate or AddComponent to create instances of MonoBehaviours, you should not be calling its constructor

pretty sure you also can't serialize a monobehaviour to json

Is it possible similarly how you can use [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.SubsystemRegistration)] or [RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod] to reset values for statics, to have some registered method for SOs?

cerulean oak
#

is there any way to make an awake method trigger before another awake method? Both of them are on the same object, and will always be

#

however, if the ordering of the components is the way to do it, it doesnt feel like a great way

#

another option is just having a component that triggers the awake methods (no longer awake methods) instead of letting unity do it

#

(also yes im aware of awake/start, but I need awake)

somber nacelle
cerulean oak
#

yeah, I have like 4 layers of it

#

so start/awake is not enough

#

(is it bad design? maybe xd)

#

server auth -> database retrieving data -> data manager (local data)

#

then the rest of the app is initialized on the Start method, retrieving the data from the DataManager

heady iris
#

maybe you should use events instead

#

especially since I bet some of this stuff will take a non-trivial amount of time, and you wouldn't want to block the main thread

cerulean oak
#

yeah probably

tiny orbit
#

I am running into stack overflow issues, although my function does have an exit condition and is able to get very close to the exit before overflow occurs. Does Unity/C# have tail call optimization? Or does anyone have any general tips/ideas for avoiding stack overflow exceptions?

heady iris
#

I don't believe there's tail call optimization, no.

tiny orbit
odd creek
#

if it's a recursive call, can you cache the results?

heady iris
#

dynamic programming time!

winged mortar
tiny orbit
#

I just had the function wait a frame every 10 calls and that seems to have solved the issue, i guess its able to clear some stuff off the stack?

tiny orbit
tiny orbit
odd creek
winged mortar
#

Alternatively

#

You could rewrite your recursion bit to use a while loop

#

And track the state manually

#

(make your own stack)

tiny orbit
#

the function is quite large, im afraid tracking manually or trying to cache the results would be a massive undertaking

heady iris
#

a stack frame is created when you call a function and the frame is destroyed when you exit the function

#

that's it

tiny orbit
#

why would waiting a frame stop the overflow from occuring then?

heady iris
#

some other factor is causing it

tiny orbit
#

ok, so lets say I know how many recursion calls im going to make, lets say 100. Is it possible for me to somehow split that up on the stack in segments?

#

or the first caller can never finish until all recursive calls are computed?

cursive gorge
#

How do I run a function from different object when object x is ontriggerenter

rain minnow
tiny orbit
#

Maybe i dont really need to be using recursion?
lets say there are global variables totalRecursiveCalls and recursiveCount and a function called FunctionA(bool firstTime).
FunctionA(bool firstTime) doesnt return any values.
If FunctionA() is being run for the firstTime, it will calulate totalRecursiveCalls and set recursiveCount = 0
The last bit of FunctionA() is:

FunctionA(false);
}```
Can I achieve this functionality without recursion? It seems the first call of FunctionA() should not need to remain on the stack, as it is not waiting for any return values from the recursive calls... It seems like there must be a way to do this but I am too dense to see it
wide terrace
#

I don't really understand what you're describing there... or how pre-calculating the number of recursive calls you'd need to make will change anything, if you're just going to go ahead and recurse that many times anyway? 🤔

wide terrace
# tiny orbit ok, so lets say I know how many recursion calls im going to make, lets say 100. ...

Just spitballing, but you might be able to move whatever logic and variables possible prior to/in between recursive calls to one or more separate methods, such that only the data needed to perform the recursive calls or return a value from it is present in the actual recursive method. In this manner, all of the supporting data would flick on and off the stack instead of hanging around and waiting for their respective recursive call's stack frame to pop... Not that I have any idea how that works with C# GC.

This only really seems like it might be a plausible solution if you're allocating massive amounts of memory per recursive call though - if the problem is more the amount of recursion, it's unlikely to change anything.

#

It still sounds like a greater rework may be the best solution

tiny orbit
#

I mean yeah, I reckon I could technically run 1 function to determine the “totalRecursionCount” and then just run a for loop which would loop that many times and run the function each time, but this wouldn’t reduce the size on the stack either… correct?

wide terrace
#

Assuming you only store the state required to get from one call to the next outside of the function in question, I would think it would, to the same effect as breaking up the recursive function into smaller supporting functions - generally just clearing all of the stuff off the stack between calls which was just used to calculate arguments or return values.

But that may or may not make a real difference, depending on how much persistent state you actually need... I'm finding it really difficult to think hypothetically - it's been a while since I've used much theory 😅

dusk apex
#

If there's a different issue, none of the above would help. But generally, you could avoid recursive call stacks by simply using a loop. Else, I'm assuming you're simply using too much or have got some undefined behavior causing it to not properly terminate.

tiny orbit
#

I am sure that it’s properly terminating, it’s just that when I have to run the function a lot of times it takes up a bunch of memory

wide terrace
dusk apex
#

And the code.

tiny orbit
#

I mean I could show the code but it’s thousands of lines

#

If the exact error would help I can do that as well but I was trying to simplify the problem by speaking theoretically

dusk apex
#

The recursive issue couldn't have been a thousand lines, could it?

dusk apex
tiny orbit
dusk apex
#

Maybe figure out why it's happening rather than try to bandaid it.

tiny orbit
#

I want to be able to reduce the size I’m putting on the stack by breaking it up but I’m still unsure if that’s possible

dusk apex
#

Just to be clear, it won't matter if it's infinite or near infinite. I pray your stack eventually ends.

tiny orbit
#

No it’s about 100 calls

odd creek
#

Are those 100 calls all recursive? like call 1 cannot execute until call 100 does?

tiny orbit
#

No

tiny orbit
#

The very last thing call 1 does is call itself, but it doesn’t need any return values from that call

tiny orbit
odd creek
#

oh well that's still a recursive call lol

#

if you do it that way then call 1 will still be on the stack until call 2 finishes which will still be on until call 3 finishes etc

tiny orbit
odd creek
#

why not just call the thing 100 times?

tiny orbit
odd creek
#

that way only one call will be on the stack at any given time

It'd just be a loop, which has been mentioned multiple times now.

tiny orbit

Ok cool

odd creek

implementing it depends on whether or not your stopping condition is dynamic

tiny orbit
#

No the stopping condition is determined during the first call

odd creek
#

okay then shouldn't be too bad

tiny orbit
#

Well it will be a little weird because I use IEnumerators to (in some circumstances) add pauses between calls, so the for loop will have to be in an IEnumerator but that shouldn’t be a problem…

This isn't a big deal as I don't require it, but is there anyway to initialize what the default for something like this is?
Material activeMat = Resources.Load<Material>("Assets/Materials/BatteryActiveMat.mat");

#

I am aware that I can just initialize it in awake or start, and that I can simply drag in the materials I want and make a prefab, but this would just be a bit nicer imo.

somber nacelle
#

well for one, Resources.Load won't work with that argument. the material would need to be inside of a folder named Resources which would be in the Assets folder, and you'd only include the path to the file omitting the base Resources/ folder and the extension.
but also no, you won't be able to assign it in a field initializer. you could serialize the field and assign it using Resources.Load in Reset() which would get the material and assign it to your field whenever you reset the component or add it to an object using the editor

hi everyone. I need help with a problem which solution i can't figure out, I have two gameobjects with the same script, that script has an if statement that should execute it's else if statement depending on the value of a public boolean, so when the public boolean is checked, the if statement executes and does thing 1, and when the public boolean is unchecked, the else if executes and does thing 2, and I want gameobject 1 to do thing 1 and gameobject 2 to do thing 2, but sometimes the if statement executes when it does not have to, and sometimes it works fine, and the same with the else if statement, how do i fix this?

physical projectiles fall at fixed rate defined by gravity, if you change velocity you overshoot undershoot the only way to compensate for that while using physics is to adjust the aim

# knotty sun what do you even mean by 'C# Console'?

Hi, first of all thanks for your interest in my question, by C# console I was referring to the exe file that comes out at build time after creating a project in Visual Studio or Rider with Console Project in the .Net Core or .Net Framework tab.

knotty sun

that is not a 'C# Console', that is just a standard Windows command line window

old plinth
knotty sun
#

you don't. Unity builds a Windows program, they dont have a CLI

old plinth
knotty sun
#

is there a way? Yes, but you need a deep understandig of the Windows OS and the Win32 API

you could certainly do that but, again, you would need an understanding of the Win32APi to achieve it

is there a unscaledDeltaTime?

#

Oh smart, thank you

#

Good job I noticed this because part of my module was comparing the FPS with dots on and off

#

And the FPS was lower than it was supposed to be because it scaled by time

#

So basically at 2 times speed it was halving the fps 😅

#

I was also averaging my FPS faster so from 0.5 seconds to every 0.055 seconds o-o which was costly

It's insane how much of a performance boost it gives

Is there a way to make Unity reload script assemblies either ONLY when I start the game, or in the background when I save in VS?

like such?

where it only refreshes when i click play, or just refreshes in background when saving in VS

# steady moat

that should make it so when you change and save code in VS...that it doesn't reload
"reload script assemblies" when you tab back?

steady moat
#

I use CTRL-R to then refresh

#

You can make code to call the function AssetDatabase.Refresh whenever you want otherwise.

thick socket
#

big sad

#

it still makes me wait for reload script assemblies with that setting set like that

#

ooh, just found this from 2 days ago

#

lets hope it fixes it

#

"Visual Studio: Tools -> Options -> Tools for Unity -> Refresh Unity's AssetDatabase on save: False"

#

still doesn't do crap

#

It works from my side. Enabling and disabling the settings behave as intended.

#

Im guessing you aren't in the 2022 version

steady moat
#

True, I am in 2021

#

But, the user did not report if it was working in 2021, so I would not think it is actually an issue due to version.

thick socket
#

I should have left my project in 2021 😦

hmm it's true

reload assemblies seems to occur no matter what

I can't get it to stop on 2022 either

does this setting do anything for you?

You can also test it in 2021, and if it actually does work in 2021 and not in 2022 it would be easy to make a bug report.

Is there a way a could stretch only the edges of a sprite?
In other words the middle would keep 1:1 aspect ratio while the edges could be stretch by a percentage.

What causes a referenced item to disappear in the script in the inspector during play mode. The item is an animator, its a component of the item the script is on, its [SerializeField] private Animator animator; I drag it in the script and when I push play to test is disappears and I get a reference null error. I tried changing it to public Animator animator, same thing. I tried Animator animator and then got it in awake. etc. etc. I have also deleted the item, and started over.

something is destroying your Animator

With a GetComponent or something

no, there is no start or awake, just update and the variables

destroyed in the inspector, no, just loosed the refrence

            {
                Debug.Log($"{(influenceChange[kvp] < 0 ? "" : "+")}{influenceChange[kvp]} {kvp.faction} Influence in {kvp.country}"); 
                Game.current.gameState.influence[kvp.country][kvp.faction] += influenceChange[kvp];
                kvp.country.InfluenceChangeEvent?.Invoke(kvp.faction, influenceChange[kvp]); 
            }

This foreach through a tuple-keyed dictionary is causing a "at least one item must implement IComparable" exception. The options as I see them are: 1) add IComparable to either Faction or Country (for no other purpose than to resolve the error), 2) create a struct holding faction and country and replace the tuple-as-key 3) rewrite the foreach so that no IComparable is needed. Which of those options are the best approach and is there another way to solve this issue?

lost wave
#

normally when i get this, its because i forgot to call it in Awake, so I reconfigured the script and it still does it.

Hey, so I tried asking ChatGPT to make code stretch the edges of sprite, while keeping the center unchanged.

After a few extra instructions it came up with this.

private void V1() {
            // Define the slice positions (normalized values ranging from 0 to 1)
            var sliceBorders = new Vector4(0.1f, 0.1f, 0.9f, 0.9f);

            // Calculate the slice sizes based on the sprite's dimensions
            var spriteSize = new Vector2(_spriteToSlice.texture.width, _spriteToSlice.texture.height);
            var sliceSizes = new Vector2(spriteSize.x * (sliceBorders.z - sliceBorders.x),
                spriteSize.y * (sliceBorders.w - sliceBorders.y));

            // Calculate the slice offsets based on the sprite's dimensions
            var sliceOffsets = new Vector2(spriteSize.x * sliceBorders.x, spriteSize.y * sliceBorders.y);

            // Calculate the scaled edge sizes
            var scaledEdgeSizes = sliceSizes * edgeScaleFactor;

            // Calculate the final slice sizes by combining the scaled edge sizes and original center sizes
            var finalSliceSizes = new Vector2(scaledEdgeSizes.x + sliceSizes.x * (1 - edgeScaleFactor),
                scaledEdgeSizes.y + sliceSizes.y * (1 - edgeScaleFactor));

            // Create the sliced sprite
            var slicedSprite = Sprite.Create(_spriteToSlice.texture, new Rect(sliceOffsets, finalSliceSizes),
                new Vector2(0.5f, 0.5f), _spriteToSlice.pixelsPerUnit);

            // Assign the sliced sprite to the SpriteRenderer component
            GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite = slicedSprite;
        }

Only thing is, it only seems to remove the edges, not add them back. The first few lines seems ok, thoughts on what's wrong or is there just a limitation when it comes to making a sprite from multiple?

Thanks!

hello guys, in this script i have a problem that even if the enemy collide with the bullet the TextMeshPro not changing why?

steady moat
#

And, you should not make your enemy control your UI.

#

If you have multiple enemies, you gonna be screw.

mental pumice
#

2.idk

#

3.yes

#

4.yes

#

5.yes

steady moat
#

Do you have multiple enemy ?

mental pumice
#

yes

steady moat
#

Then it is obvious why it is not working

#

You have at least one enemy that set the value to 0 because it has not been incremented

#

An easy fix would be to make the variable static BUT, and I insist, you should restructure your code.

#

A player has money
An enemy contact a bullet that is own by a player
The player that owns the bullet earn money (the amount the enemy is valued at)
When the player gains money, it notifies the UI to be updated.

#

If your game has no notion of Player, you could replace Player by GameManager.

if(hit.transform.gameObject.GetComponent<UnitBehaviour>() != null) unitType = SelectionType.UNITS;

Instead of checking whether the gameobject has UnitBehaviour attached to it, I want to see if the gameobject has any subtype of UnitBehaviour on it. (ie MinerBehaviour or BuilderBehaviour as they both inherit from UnitBehaviour)

leaden ice
#

however if you want to check that, you should use TryGetComponent rather than GetComponent, for simpler code:

# 
if (hit.transform.TryGetComponent(out UnitBehaviour _)) {
  unitType = SelectionType.UNITS:
}```
oblique basalt
#

why do i need the out UnitBehaviour _ section. also unless im being silly my original code doesnt seem to work. will double check that everything else is okay tho

wide terrace
leaden ice
#

It is inferring the generic type argument from there - and it's also spitting the component out there but you're ignoring it hence the discard variable name _

#

if you want to use the variable, give it a name:

if (hit.transform.TryGetComponent(out UnitBehaviour ub)) {
  ub.DoSomething();
}```
oblique basalt
#

in this case since you dont need the arguement at all, is it not better to just use TryGetComponent<UnitBehaviour>() ?

leaden ice
#

since that's not what the method signature is

wide terrace
#

Though apparently you can pass null?

TryGetComponent<UnitBehaviour>(null);

🤔

#

Oh no that doesn't work

leaden ice
#

it needs an out param

oblique basalt
#

i see

wide terrace
#

The docs mention null as a possible argument, but don't elaborate on that 😕

alright well im currently in extreme pain becuase of how poorly my code is laid out and i cant be bothered to go through it all and fix it so ill try this again tomorrow, thanks for the help @leaden ice and @wide terrace

my character is not moving

probably because you're moving it in the animator callback for whatever reason

Your character also isn't going to collide with walls using MovePosition

it will collide but it will be clip in and out

#

and everything in that script is viable tbh

nothing should make it not work

this really comes down to what you did in the editor

his animator callback is the reason it's most likely not working

you shouldn't move simulation objects like that anyways

#

Is there any reason why code isn't being ran correctly in a build for the quest 2? In editor it looks just fine though.

#

Basically I'm just copying the mesh of an object to another however it does not show up in the build.

Usually differences in a build are from script execution order differences or framerate dependent code

# 
// Setup a clone of the held object
if(clone.gameObject == null)
{
    // Create object and components
    clone.gameObject = new GameObject("Clone");
    clone.filter = clone.gameObject.AddComponent<MeshFilter>();
    clone.renderer = clone.gameObject.AddComponent<MeshRenderer>();

    // Copy values to the cloned object
    clone.filter.mesh = heldObject.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().sharedMesh;
    clone.renderer.material = material;
    clone.transform.SetParent(transform);
    clone.transform.SetPositionAndRotation(transform.position, transform.rotation);
    clone.transform.localScale = heldObject.transform.localScale;
}

Clone refers to a struct containing information about a gameobject and acts as a hologram of a held object.

#

This is called while the held object is within a trigger using OnTriggerStay.

how do i only disable the firing and reloading part of the code of the gun when it is not parented to the player?

your guns right now are dependent on the user input, when its functionality should be called when the player presses to fire it. This would also allow u to have other things like an enemy fire the same gun

nova magnet
lean sail
#

right now u would have to either disable this script, or have an if statement constantly checking if its parented to the player to determine if its running. By having the player fire the gun instead, its just one check to see if the player even has a gun

#

"use a function" doesnt mean anything, im saying call the guns functionality from the player

is there a way to do a chain .Intersect on n number of lists? I have a list-of-lists and I want to get the elements that are common to all of them. Is there something in Linq that does this for more than just two given lists?

I have an error pop saying a reference is null, the game pauses on the error, and in the inspector the reference is visibly not null. I am also 100% certain its the only instance of the script in the scene, checked by code.

lean sail
#

likely a #💻┃code-beginner but show code in there because its not possible to help you without more info

#

best i can say is you have a null reference, and its not where u think it is

elder palm
#

an error freezes the game and I can see the references set when its paused

lean sail
#

this barely shows me anything, if its corruption then try making this in a new scene and slowly add everything from your old scene until the same error happens. If it does not happen, then its either a unity bug or you missed adding something very small

If you have a direction and a distance then you can get a position, so perhaps using lerp or MoveTowards is what you're looking for.

anyone have an idea for a vr game

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible to merge multiple colliders? I have a script that merges all children objects' meshes into a unified mesh, and I would like to save some time by not having to reapply every collider. thanks.

Fixed it i was missing discord.RunCallbacks();

not sure how well that performance deficit translates into the real world tho

grand urchin
#

why doesnt this work? it looks like it should:

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

public class collide : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("lazer"))
        {
            Debug.Log("You got hit!");
        }
        if (other.CompareTag("food"))
        {
            Destroy(other.gameObject);
            Debug.Log("Points! +1");
        }
    }
}

they are cubes, but they are often intercepted by doors in between, which needs to be passed through

#

so you end up having to place 5+ colliders for every room in the building

cold parrot
#

how many boxes would that be in total?

main token
#

god I don't even wanna think about it

#

probably like 50-70

#

and I have 5 levels

cold parrot
#

for the whole level?

main token
#

yeah

cold parrot
#

i'd say don't even worry about it

#

thats nothing

main token
#

so mesh colliders should be fine then?

cold parrot
#

a mesh collider will probably be worse, performance wise

cold parrot
#

but even mesh colliders wont cause issue (most likely)

#

or put another way, if either the mesh or box collider approach will cause performance issues on your target platform you need to rethink your design anyway, neither of them will likely fundamentally change your performance if your levels are too big or too dynamic on a large scale

#

in general, the physics engine is very good at only evaluating collisions in the local space that your are performing actions in, so if you avoid any collision checks in areas of the level that aren't observed by the player, you can improve your performance drastically (assuming large levels that are only partially visible)

cold parrot

is it a mobile project?

main token
#

nah, pc

cold parrot

then you are most likely fine

would someone know how to make a movement system like this?,i tried many ways but couldn't get it to work my latest try was

private void SetRotation()
    {
        transform.Rotate(Vector3.forward,_input.MoveX * Time.fixedDeltaTime * _speed.Value);
        _rigidBody.rotation = Mathf.Clamp(_rigidBody.rotation, _minRot, _maxRot);
    }

to start with you never modify the transform and the rigidbody, you need to chose one or the other

broken nest
# sonic stream yes

Steve is correct. To know which one to use, you need to consider whether or not you intend to use physics in your controller.

sonic stream
broken nest
#

OK, then you'll want to use the rigidbody and not manipulate the transform directly

sonic stream
# 
private void SetRotation()
    {
        _rigidBody.MoveRotation(_rigidBody.rotation + _input.MoveX * _speed.Value * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        _rigidBody.rotation = Mathf.Clamp(_rigidBody.rotation, _minRot, _maxRot);
    }
#

should this work?

broken nest
#

is the clamp intended to set hard limits on how far you can rotate?

sonic stream
#

about 45 degrees

I'm trying to hit this object here with a raycast

image.png
#

it's a curved plane, but it's not being detected

#

if I create a plane with the same size, it detects

#

normals are fine, and I tried shooting the rays from both directions just in case

#

it works when I add a mesh collider with the same mesh

#

any clue on how to do it without the collider? I can hit other solid objects just fine, but curved planes are being a problem

# sonic stream coasting?

like after you release the turn button. do you want it to stop rotating instantly or have some "driftiness" to it?

sonic stream
#

the controls are inverted,the input action asset controls are right but rotating turns it in the opposite intended direction,even in the editor

#

wait

#

right is -45 degress,when it should be 45

Haha, mathematicians have been trying to figure that out for centuries. But I'm sure that's not what you mean. In what sense do mean 0 is positive?

z specifically

I see, you mean is 0 Z rotation forward?
