yeh 100%, i'm coming from ue where it's a lot easier to track that stuff cause the node system. so for me it's a lot more mental juggling i need to get used to shifting around in my afformentioned brain soup lol

#

definantly advice i'll do my best to heed

#

heed? is it spelt like that? idk lol

hello, Ive been trying to create a system to take a list of transforms and fills out a boxcollider2D fairly evenly with them (In the stye of the stars on the american flag i guess) but Ive been having some issues creating code calculate these automatically I found this https://www.maa.org/sites/default/files/pdf/pubs/monthly_june12-stars.pdf but Ive been having some issues trying to put this into unity (idk if im even looking at the right thing) I am wondeirng if anyone can give me a pointer of where to start, thanks

lean sail
#

otherwise this just sounds like looping through and placing X amount on a row with some offset, then shifting down by some amount, and repeating

subtle raptor
lean sail
#

Do what part though? Your problem has a few steps so try to take it step by step.
First you want the bounds of the box collider,
then you want to generate points in some fashion (for example left to right, shift down, repeat)
then place your actual objects at these points

i glance the paper. it looks like proving why 29,69,87 has no nice arrangement

does anyone know how long it takes for firebase to delete data from the database? talking about the trash can button, i delete data, start the game and it loads the same data i just deleted

lean sail
lean sail
#

how much data are you deleting?

normal dust
#

Literally one json of a struct with 2 integers

#

Disappears pretty much instantly on the console but when I start the game it acts like it still exists

gentle rain
#

Anyone know how I could make a backpack system that if like Ghosts of tabor and I believe into the radius where its a loose item backpack I cant seem to figure it out after doing hundreds of scripts and numerous yt vids I cant seem to find one (atleast for unity).

lean sail
#

i dont remember about from console, i only manually deleted on console if i messed up badly

#

i cant imagine there would be a difference though. I suggest you test this outside of unity even

subtle raptor
lean sail
#

what are you drawing this for? if this isnt some core game mechanic, i wouldnt worry too much about having each row be perfect

#

as the article suggests, some numbers dont have nice representation

fervent furnace
#

gift wrapping algorithm

subtle raptor
lean sail
#

i still dont really know what this is for, if its any number of transforms then you cant pick the correct amount of rows

#

unless you allow one row to just be different

subtle raptor
#

Basically I am gonna have a grid of rectangles of various sizes and I want to be able to move a group of transform objects to a square on this grid I want it to fit in the grid box and be farely nicely spread out neatly

swift falcon
#

Anyone got any ideas to improve this code, make it more readable, easier to sort through, etc?

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

public class ManagerEvents
{
    public static event Action TestEvent;
    public static void InvokeMakeGrid() => TestEvent?.Invoke();

    public static event Action<int> TestEvent2;
    public static void InvokeMakeGrid(int a) => TestEvent2?.Invoke(a);
}```

In my last game this got extremely out of hand, I'll probably use #region stuff but wondering if there's anything else I can do
lean sail
#

I also really dont like regions unless you are just hiding 100 using statements or a massive "temporary" commented out section

swift falcon
#

I'll probably just try and use events less in this game because in my last one I kinda abused them

#

Also what's wrong with regions? I only recently discovered them but I like using them for collapsing large files such as player movement scripts into smaller sections like JumpChecks, GravityChecks, JumpFunctions, etc
Makes it so I can see the whole script at once

fervent furnace
#

"distance between two lines" is undefined

swift falcon
#

What's a line here? Like a ray or y = mx + c?

fervent furnace
swift falcon
#

So you have four points which make 2 lines and want to get shortest perpendicular distance between them

lean sail
swift falcon
lean sail
#

no, they're just not useful to me

#

i would only use them if i was in a team that used them

swift falcon
#

Fair I can see your point, I'll be very careful about using them only when needed

lean sail
#

Im sure some people love them, but when talking about most of these conventions it can just be boiled down to "do you care enough to use it" or "does your team use it"

#

🤐 i dont even use _ for private variable names

swift falcon
#

Ok that I definitely don't agree with lol, love using _

lean sail
#

I will if im in a team that does, i just dont because i hate hitting the _ key. And also because i was forced to use it in python since the naming convention is like word_word_word, ive developed a hatred for it

swift falcon
#

Anyway to improve this code?

public static bool IsEven(this int x) => x % 2 == 0;
public static bool IsEven(this float x) => x % 2 == 0;```
Probably not without overcomplicating it but might as well ask
#

Specifically looking for a way to not have basically two of the same function

fervent furnace
#

i cant imagine how % operator works on float.

lean sail
#

you could make it an extension so you could call number.IsEven() rather than IsEven(number).
If you're just looking to improve those 2 lines, this really isnt worth doing. Id still just put that inside a {} for readability.

#

also yea idk how that works on floats either

swift falcon
#

It is an extension actually, and yeah don't know if I've ever tested the float one lol

lean sail
swift falcon
#

Yeah I'm familiar with that, what's your suggestion

lean sail
#

oh thats just for float modulus

spark flower
#

2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 how do you calculate this?

fervent furnace
#

use calculator

spark flower
#

mathf.pow(8, 2); ?

lean sail
#

look at the definition for pow

fervent furnace
#

i believe pow should (base,exponent)...

lean sail
spark flower
#

so the way i wrote it? (8, 2)

swift falcon
#

Made an extension for Pow cause I think it's neater

public static float Pow(this float a, float pow) => Mathf.Pow(a, pow);```
fervent furnace
#

pow(2,8)=2^8

#

pow(8,2)=8^2, not the same thing

spark flower
#

yes

#

ofc

fervent furnace
#

pow(a,b)=a^b

does anyone know how to get the gorilla tag locomotion system to pickup things throught the xr interaction layer because i tried adding like xr direct interacter to the hands including all the other things i needed and it didnt change a single thing can someone help please
i also did the grab interaction but it still didnt do anything it just basically turned it into a physics object

spark flower
#

2^8?

fervent furnace
#

yes

spark flower
#

ok thx

fervent furnace
#

you multiply a for b time ie a*a*a*... then a^b, note that ^ in c# is other operator

spark flower
#

so i shuld use mathf and not 2^8?

fervent furnace
#

yes you need to call mathf.pow

#

^ is bitwise xor in c#

lean sail
#

The built in math pow functions are faster than manual exponentation pretty sure. Dont even think c# has a operator to do it manually

swift falcon
#

Btw what do people do with various random structs that are used across their codebase? As I'm going through my previous games code looking for things to grab I'm realising I have no idea where certain structs are
Does anyone like make a class specifically for storing structs?

spark flower
patent gale
#

does anyone know about UIBuilder?

fervent furnace
#

you can define struct in class and use class.struct to access it, hope it can make your code much more clear and tidy

I have a struct called SFX, an IComparer sort of thing and a list of SFXs

[System.Serializable]
    public struct SFX : IComparer<SFX>
    {
        public string Name;
        public AudioClip[] Clips;

        public int Compare(SFX a, SFX b)
        {
            char aC = a.Name.ToCharArray()[0];
            char bC = b.Name.ToCharArray()[0];

            if (aC > bC)
                return 1;

            if (aC < bC)
                return -1;

            return 0;
        }
    }  

    [SerializeField] List<SFX> _allSFX = new List<SFX>();

    private void OnValidate()
    {
        _allSFX.Sort();
    }

 void PlaySFX(string name)
    {
        // Could use binary search here?, list is sorted
        foreach (SFX sfx in _allSFX)
        {
            if (sfx.Name == name)
            {
                // Code
                return;
            }
        }
    }```

If I made a binary search thing for finding a SFX with a specific name in the list, would that be faster than just looping through the entire list?
Specifically looking at ToCharArray(), not sure how heavy that operation is
fervent furnace
#

fisrt you have sort the _allSFX

swift falcon
#

Yeah I sort it in OnValidate, all assigns are done in the inspector

fervent furnace
#

The compare function is a bit strange

swift falcon
#

Is there a better way?

#

It might not work, haven't tested anything yet btw

fervent furnace
#

You dont need recursive
You can check string .compareto

swift falcon
#

Oh my god you're right, that was pretty dumb

#

Some sort of recursive thing would be good probably

fervent furnace
#

I override my old message…
You may need String.compare(string,string)

#

Then use this in your b search

swift falcon
#

Should just be as simple as this yeah?

public int Compare(SFX a, SFX b)
        {
            return string.Compare(a.Name, b.Name);
        }```

Is there any sync tool to sync at least C# scripts between 2 folders?
I am making multiplayer game and would help out a lot if I could modify some definition on server and would change on client project too.

I know there is at least Link & Sync but it is buggy and doesn't always sync the files. It would be useful it it could also sync things like scriptable objects and their references.

fervent furnace
#

I havent use this before actually so i dont know whether it will cause the sort method sort the string from “large” to “small”, but yes, just return the compared result by compare method

trying to understand composition a bit better. I have a Health script and a HealthBar script. All entities with a HealthBar need Health but not all entities with Health have a HealthBar. How do I handle this in the Health script? Right now I have this: ```public class Health : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private int startHealth = 100;
private int health;
[SerializeField] private HealthBar healthBar;

void Awake()
{
    health = startHealth;
}

public void ChangeHealth(int amount)
{
    health += amount;
    healthBar.SetHealth(health);

    if (health <= 0)
    {
        Die();
    }
}``` But this isn't the best approach because I shouldn't call the healthbar function on every object when not everything with health has a healthbar. What's the best approach here?

How can I make a loose backpack system like in Ghosts of Tabor can I get some help please its for my VR game

potent sleet
gentle rain
#

lemme find a image

#

Empty backpackand backpack with stuff in it

Z.png image.png
#

and if part of the object is outside of the backpack the whole backpack will turn a certain color

leaden ice
#

Looks more like a grid based system a la Resident evil or Diablo

gentle rain
#

like this

leaden ice
#

Not physics

gentle rain
#

since I want players to have to think about their storage situation

#

plus this is also how all storage crates would work

leaden ice
#

What's the difference

#

Have you ever played Diablo?

#

Or Resident evil?

gentle rain
# leaden ice What's the difference

If it has the grid system than there is a specific amount of stuff that can go in a backpack or a storage crate but a loose item system you can put anything in it like a hundred tiny items or 2-3 bigger items and it is more immersive for a VR game

gentle rain
leaden ice
#

It's a grid system but the size and orientation of objects matters

gentle rain
#

Ohhh

leaden ice
#

I think your game is the same

#

Just with 3D models

gentle rain
#

yea pretty much just without all the grids

#

Ye

#

Srry I thought u meant something like Rust

#

Like this

#

were no matter waht you can only fit a certain amount of items doesnt matter their sizes

potent sleet
#

yes that how minecraft does it too

Hey, can anyone tell me how i change this so that i can look around keeping the recoil lerp. Keep in mind that in the Gun script the HandleRecoil() method is called once, and HandleKnockback() is in update. Look on the video i attached below what is happening when i try to move my mouse around.

Gun:```cs
private float targetRotationX;
private float targetRotationY;

private void HandleRecoil()
{
RecoilItemStat recoilItemStat = inventory.currentItem.GetComponent<RecoilItemStat>();

// Calculate the random recoil
float recoilX = Random.Range(-recoilItemStat.recoilX, recoilItemStat.recoilX);
float recoilY = -recoilItemStat.recoilY;

// Apply recoil to player camera rotation
targetRotationX = movement.xRotation + recoilY;
targetRotationY = movement.yRotation + recoilX;

}

private void HandleKnockback()
{
movement.xRotation = Mathf.Lerp(movement.xRotation, targetRotationX, 6 * Time.deltaTime);
movement.yRotation = Mathf.Lerp(movement.yRotation, targetRotationY, 6 * Time.deltaTime);
} Movement:cs
public void HandleMouseLook()
{
float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * lookSpeedX;
float mouseY = Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") * lookSpeedY;

xRotation -= mouseY;
yRotation += mouseX;

xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, upperLookLimit, lowerLookLimit);

playerCamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0, 0);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yRotation, 0);

}

potent sleet
#

yes you still need a grid 3D or 2d or Vr @gentle rain

#

for what you wanna do at least

#

"tetris inventory" or something like that

gentle rain
#

It kinda is like that but there isnt any grids it is just empty space and stuff can go anywhere

potent sleet
#

we talking about code not visual

gentle rain
#

Yes

#

Oh wait nvrm

#

im dumb

#

it needs a grid system no matter what if it is visual or not I understand I think

potent sleet
#

yes

gentle rain
#

So would it be hundreds of tiny grids and then make it so the interactable would be to go inbetween the grids and so they wouldn't need to be inside specific grid(s) they can just kinda be anywhere or could it be one big grid and object can go anywhere inside that one big grid?

gentle rain
visual dagger
#

pretty much what im going for

#

lol

#

but a different concept

gentle rain
visual dagger
#

yeah

gentle rain
#

looks very similar but more survival based and very few games I feel can pull the low poly look off and u have done that very well

visual dagger
#

thanks

gentle rain
#

Nows time to spend the next 15 hours online figuring out how to pull off a loose item VR inventory/backpack system.

visual dagger
#

yeah i need to fix the recoil

#

cause you currently cant look around

#

i have no idea how to go around this

gentle rain
#

Hmm weird

#

oh fuck, I just realized imma have to fight with VR recoil soon SHITTTT

# royal pulsar trying to understand composition a bit better. I have a Health script and a Heal...

You want to inverse the dependency of the Health Bar/Health. You can do that by using interface. Alternatively, you can use the Observer pattern which might make more sense here.

Details (concrete implementations) should depend on abstractions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dependency_inversion_principle

Which problems can the observer design pattern solve?
The observer pattern addresses the following problems:

A one-to-many dependency between objects should be defined without making the objects tightly coupled.
When one object changes state, an open-ended number of dependent objects should be updated automatically.
An object can notify multiple other objects.

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

#

we love the observer pattern

steady moat
#

Except when you have memory leaks

#

Then you start to learn to hate it.

heady iris

(:

#

I have pondered about that

#

I presume you get leaks when you don't un-subscrube before being disposed of

i've never thought about making a backpack system before. do the items change size when they go in the backpack, or do they stay the same?

gentle rain

sounds like the objects should just have their rigidbodies made kinematic when in the backpack

Kinda like a IRL backpack

#

It's a game design aspect specifically related to how I should script something

#

I am trying to come up with a solution on how to randomly generate dungeons. So far I have come up with the idea about creating a bunch of premade rooms to select from. Some of the rooms will have multiple entry ways. I'm thinking I should have spawn points at each entry to use those to align with each other. To spawn a new room, I was thinking I should have a "spawnroom" script attached to each spawn point, however, I'm trying to think of a way to check if there is already a room at that spawn point

Hello people, is it possible to convert a class with several lists to a JSON string ?

primal wind
strange ferry
#

Lets say I have a serializable class that containts 3 public List<string> ...

primal wind
#

Idk if JsonUtility can but Newtonsoft.Json can

strange ferry
#

I cant believe such a fundamental feature is still not implemented into Unity's JsonUtility yet...

#

I guess I'll try Newtonsoft then

#

thank you

primal wind
#

It says Dictionary isn't supported but no mention of other generic collections

#

Would need to test

strange ferry
#

Well for what I've tried it is failing to convert to Json, it retuns []

primal wind
#

Oh too bad

With List<string> and objects containing lists and other properties

#

Hello everyone, (I want to apologize for my English in advance)
I just joined the server, it’s in this channel that I can ask for a problem?

primal wind
#

They really should make JsonUtility better

strange ferry
#

If its code related...

primal wind
potent sleet
strange ferry
#

Yes

#

The only thing its not serializing is the list

#

other public propoerties are shown as expected in JSON

potent sleet
#

iirc I had to put that class inside another class or something, had the same issue but forgot the fix 😞

strange ferry
#

Yeah I recall doing something similar but it was a long time ago and I also forgot lol

#

maybe I parsed it or something

pallid leaf
#

Thanks !

So it’s not specifically a code problem, but more with Unity, I use the IPointerHandler system and here’s what happens to me:

  • I use a unity scene that contains my camera and PhysicsRaycaster, my player and an EventSystem.

  • with this, I add an additive scene that contains different object

  • In the additive scene, I have an object containing a script that copies IPointerHandler extensions

  • The Issue is that the object with the script does not copy OnPointerEnter or other events and does not perform the functions contained in IPointerHandler.

  • Knowing that we can only have one event system, I already checked in a separate scene, the object well records events with a system events in the same scene

If anyone has a solution, or already had this problem , thank you very much.

(Sorry again for my English)

#

I have already been watched on forums to find an answer to my problem, or used GPT to try to get information I would have missed, but I turn a little in round, so I took the liberty of coming to ask for help here ^^"

strange ferry
#

So the problem is that when you click on the object nothing happens ?

pallid leaf
#

Yep

potent sleet
pallid leaf
#

The problem seems simple said like that, but the operation of the event system with the additive scenes remains a mystery for me currently, if it can help, a single event system works to interact with UI coming from another scene, but not scripts containing IPointerHandler

Hey, this script spawn enemies around the player, to be specific around 0,0 then I add player position to the position from this function.
It takes an integer and divides 360/amountToSpawn to split a circle into x amount of angles.
So 360 enemies would be 1 degrees per enemy.

This is nice, but I need to create an oval(ideall a way to customize how squished it is)
What would be the way to do that?
I assume the trick is in distance.

Returns all the public methods of the current Type. Says the docs.

distanceA and distanceB will determine the shape of your ellipse

#

if they're equal you'll get a circle

#

the more different they are the more oblong your ellipse will be

All usage of Reflection is slow, best not to use it if you can

#

I guess that's granted.

Reflection is a technique of last resort.

You're giving up runtime performance and compiletime correctness

this is my flashlight batter code - https://gdl.space/orilizudoj.cs

And this is my flashlight script- https://gdl.space/azavizubac.cs

Basically inside my flashlight script when i press f(activating the flashlight) I want my flashlight battery to start draining. Currently, my flashlight bar shows up when I press f but it wont drain. Could somehow help me see what I'm missing?

heady iris
#

you call On once

#

you probably want to decrease the battery level in Update if the battery is being used

stark jacinth
#

but it is in update in my flashlight code

#

does it not update every frame this way?

heady iris
#

sure, it's in the update method

#

but does it run every frame? no

#

it runs once, when you push a button

stark jacinth
#

if I do if(input.GetKey(KeyCode.f))

heady iris
#

the battery level only changes when you call On, and you only call On once when you initially turn the flashlight (which is very reasonable)

stark jacinth
#

would that work?

heady iris
#

that would not help...

loud wharf
heady iris
#

again, make the battery drain in its Update method

heady iris
heady iris
#

alternatively, in the flashlight's update method, tell the battery to drain as long as the flashlight is turned on

loud wharf
heady iris
#

The battery doesn't drain by itself. Something drains the battery.

stark jacinth
# 
 public void Update()
    {
        On();
        Off();
    }
#

do you mean to call the function in update

#

in my battery script?

heady iris
#

Why would you turn the battery on and off every frame?

stark jacinth
#

nvm that wouldnt make sense

#

lol

heady iris
#

The On method should do nothing but turn the battery on

stark jacinth
#

yes

heady iris
#

The Off method should do nothing but turn the battery off

#

That's their jobs.

stark jacinth
#

yes

heady iris
#

It's something else's job to make the battery drain if it's currently on

stark jacinth
#

in my On() Function it drains the battery

#

if you look at my battery script

heady iris
#

Yes. I know.

#

It shouldn't.

#

Something else, that runs every frame, should do that.

stark jacinth
#

But doesn't it run every frame when I press the f button ?

heady iris
#

It runs once

stark jacinth
#

I just named it On() without really thinking ab what its doing. It's not checking if my flashlight is actually on or off.

heady iris
#

Make the battery remember whether it's on or off.

#

If it's on, drain some charge and update the UI

#

If it's off, do nothing

#

Do this in the battery's Update method.

stark jacinth
#

so i should access the flashlight script in my battery script and if the bool on == true, then I should drain

#

and if the bool off == true I should do nothing

heady iris
#

Sure. I would have the flashlight just set the on/off bool on the battery directly.

#

That way, the battery doesn't need to talk to the flashlight

stark jacinth
#

or honestly I could combine the scripts

heady iris
#

Sure.

#

just separate out the parts that change whether you're on or off from the parts that use that information

            yield break;

        _squashing = true;
        float elapsed = 0;
        Vector2 start = transform.localScale;

        while (elapsed < dur)
        {
            float humped = ManagerExtensions.HumpCurveV2(elapsed / dur, 1);

            transform.localScale = start + humped * mag;

            Debug.Log(humped + " " + elapsed / dur);

            elapsed += Time.deltaTime;
            yield return null;
        }

        transform.localScale = start;
        _squashing = false;
    }```
This is a coroutine to squash and stretch
The first Debug message to the console starts with elapsed/dur being 0
Then the second is 0.33333
And from there it counts up like normal 
Anyone know why?

This is what HumpCurveV2 is:

public static float HumpCurveV2(float t, float a) => -4 * a * Mathf.Pow(t - 0.5f, 2) + a;```

- Another c# syntax question of mine:

- I have a generic wrapper class called Observable that emits an event whenever a value inside this wrapper is changed. Now the part that i don't like is that i have to reveal an extra property to work with an actual value instead of just directly assigning it. So can i achieve the following syntax?

Observable<int> myInt = new Observable<int>(10);

// casting to underlying T type, i.e. int
int i = myInt; // i is now 10

// casting int to observable wrapper
myInt = 5; // no new instance, the same object with modified underlying value

- I read about this a little, answering some possible solutions: "=" operator cannot be overriden; implicit casting from int to observable requires me to create a new instance - not an option because allocations; cannot be converted to struct because it will be boxed anyway

heady iris
#

you can't override assignment, yeah

hey there, I am getting wonky results from raycast, where I am trying to test room bounds using them, but they're not returning the way they're supposed to be

image.png
#

the two red dots are supposed to be testing the height of the room, on a perfectly aligned wall, its hitting before the ground

leaden ice
#

where are you casting from

unkempt sail
#

the player

leaden ice
#

and in what direction

#

where's the player?

unkempt sail
#

gimme a second, let me post the code

heady iris
#

this is context-free. use Debug.DrawLine to show the rays you're casting

#

or Debug.DrawRay

unkempt sail
#

it is supposed to be drawing lines, forgot to set the duration

#

gimme a second

leaden ice
#

you also said "the two dots" but I see 4 in the image

unkempt sail
#

the ones that are atop each other

heady iris
#

go take a few minutes to get a nice-looking screenshot with all of the information we need

unkempt sail
#

alr

#

purple lines are tested room bounds, red dots are the raycast hits, red lines are the raycasts them selves

image.png
#

on the top hit, there's a ceiling, I am just hiding it in scene view

leaden ice
#

so where are you expecting these dots to be exactly?

unkempt sail
#

the one bellow it, is supposed to be hitting the ground, but for some reason its hitting mid way on the wall

leaden ice
#

The raycasts are still a little unclear to me. I see one going from the camera to the wall. but the others are like... along the wals?

leaden ice
#

including the code that draws the red lines and dots

unkempt sail
#

hits 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 test the room's length and width, while hits 6 and 7 test the room's height

leaden ice
#

To be clear you're expecting this dot to be down here?

Screenshot_2023-06-14_at_11.47.40_AM.png
#

where's the code that draws the dots?

unkempt sail
#

more like here

unkempt sail
leaden ice
leaden ice
unkempt sail
# 
Gizmos.color = Color.red;
foreach (var corner in corners)
{
    Gizmos.DrawSphere(corner.point, 0.25f);
}```
unkempt sail
leaden ice
unkempt sail
#

its supposed to hit the ceiling, then hit the floor

#

you told me to show the code that draws the dots

leaden ice
#

where does corners get populated? Can you just share the whole script in a paste site?

leaden ice
#

hard to tell what's going on when I don't see the whole picture

unkempt sail
#

corners are the raycast hits

leaden ice
unkempt sail
#

alr

leaden ice
# 
                                    corners[0] = hit2;
                                    corners[1] = hit3;
                                    corners[2] = hit4;
                                    corners[3] = hit5;
                                    corners[4] = hit6;
                                    corners[5] = hit7;```
#

none of these are hit1

unkempt sail
#

its not really important because its always level with the players head

leaden ice
#

also drawing them with different colors or labels might help

#

because right now impossible to tell which is which really

#

anyway - the way you're doing this is pretty weird - casting these rays "skimming" the walls really tightly is possibly causing issues

#

I could see the engine tripping up and registering a hit along the wall somewhere random

#

are you just trying to get the corner points of the room?

unkempt sail
#

basically

leaden ice
#

Couldn't you just. cast in all 6 directions from the player?

#

That will give you the bounds

unkempt sail
#

that wouldn't really give me the actual room bounds, since the might be somthing obstructing the actual walls

leaden ice
#

something like:

Bounds b = new(transform.position, Vector3.zero);
Vector3 directions = new Vector3[] { Vector3.up, Vector3.left, Vector3.right, Vector3.down, Vector3.back, Vector3.forward};
foreach (var direction in directions) {
  // do a raycast
  if (Physics.Raycast(blah blah) {
    b.Encapsulate(hit.point);
  }
}

// now b is your room bounds```
leaden ice
unkempt sail
#

I just want to know why the raycast is skiming the wall, is there any way to circumvent that?

leaden ice
#

well you're firing the ray from impossibly close to the wall

#

do it from... not that close

unkempt sail
#

add an offset?

leaden ice
#

maybe

#

I think my approach is a lot simpler but sure

#

another possibility is your colliders are not actually lined up with the renderers

#

you should double check the collider gizmos to make sure

unkempt sail
#

they're the default cubes

median panther
#

I'm working on procedural room generation and don't know where to start. Any tips? (2D, room map should look like tree branching)

heady iris
#

not "shoot raycasts"

#

what property of the world are you trying to learn?

unkempt sail
#

I am trying to measure a room

#

height width length volume

heady iris
#

is the room always a rectangular prism?

unkempt sail
#

its suppose to

heady iris
#

put the walls on their own layer

#

when you do this, you'll have to make sure that the six raycasts are aligned with the axes of the room

#

if your rooms are always axis-aligned, then that's a non-issue

unkempt sail
#

all the rooms will be aligned with world axes

heady iris
#

of course, if the ray goes through a door, that won't be quite right

#

how are these rooms constructed?

unkempt sail
#

using default cubes

leaden ice
#

With the benefit of giving you a nice Bounds object at the end

unkempt sail
#

well I am not going to use this code in unity, I am only using unity for prototyping

#

that's why bounds.encapsulate won't help

heady iris
#

what?

unkempt sail
#

?

heady iris
#

then you aren't going to be using raycasts either...

unkempt sail
#

no I am going to use raycasts

heady iris
#

but you siad you aren't going to be making this in unity

#

and unity gives you raycasts...

unkempt sail
#

raycasts aren't exclusive to unity

heady iris
#

sure, but they will behave differently in different engines

#

what are you doing?

heady iris
unkempt sail
#

I am messing around, trying shit out

heady iris
unkempt sail
#

the code still doesn't work in the context of unity either way

graceful flume
#

Hello guys i'm new here, and i need a little help. In some games like AC, there's a feature when you move the joystick slightly then the character will do the walking and if you push the joystick all the way up/down they will run. How can i replicate this feature?

heady iris
#

at the most basic level, that's just how an analog input works

#

you get a vector whose length depends on how far the stick is pushed over

#

so if you base the player's velocity off of that vector, you'll get walking, then running

#

If you're asking about the animation, that's going to be blend trees

#

Blendtrees let you smoothly blend between many different animations.

graceful flume
#

so there's no way of replicate that on a keyboard ?

heady iris
#

oh, you want to do it on a keyboard

#

well, keys are digital: they're pressed or they're not

#

typically you have some extra modifiers to run or walk

#

e.g. holding shift makes you run

Hi i'm trying to make a game that ill later compile to webgl, i'm using HttpClient from the .net framework to make requests to a backend server but since async is not supported i tried using the HttpClient.Send(data); in order for it to work. This method appears in the official microsoft documentation for HttpClient but i get an error that this method is not defined ```
error CS1061: 'HttpClient' does not contain a definition for 'Send' and no accessible extension method 'Send' accepting a first argument of type 'HttpClient' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)


this is the code

public HttpClient httpClient;
public CookieContainer cookieContainer;
cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
HttpClientHandler handler = new HttpClientHandler { CookieContainer = cookieContainer };
httpClient = new HttpClient(handler);
string body = "{ "message": "test" }";
HttpRequestMessage request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "http://127.0.0.1:8080/api/test");
request.Content = new StringContent(body, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
var response = httpClient.Send(request);
using var stream = response.Content.ReadAsStream();
return JsonUtility.FromJson<GeneralResponse>(stream);

#

can anyone help me, either help me fix it or tell me any other lib i could use for sync comunication?

haughty belfry
#

Send method is not available in .net framework

sudden pendant
#

sorry System.Net.Http

#

i see other people recommending this method in stackoverflow too

haughty belfry
#

but you can make HTTP request in the .net framework using HttpClient.SendAsync method

#

will this work in webgl after? when i tried to build and run it didnt

haughty belfry
#

It should

#

I think

sudden pendant
#

i want synchronous requests, await async is not supported in webgl Async/Await Unity only supports the main thread on WebGL as per their documentation. This means you can't use Async/Await operations, and you need to perform these on the main thread instead. One way to do that is by using Coroutines.

idk why my coding is so much different then videos i watch, i figured i could just copy all the same things they wrote, but i dont have all those extra options when typing out certain code. For instance, when they type "Using UnityEngine.InputSystem" I never had the option to press tab to quick fill like it was already recognized what I was trying to type. ALSO alot of my code stays white or just turns green, when the videos is blue or greyed out or yellow. I typed out all the code just for it to say it has no reference. Like idk what im doing wrong or if i dont have the correct unity plugins installed. Plus i dont get all those "unity message references" when im trying to write code. Can anyone help? im using visual studio aswell

I know I shouldn't be getting hung up on this, but I keep coming back and thinking what's the best approach for this. I ended up using this:

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

[RequireComponent(typeof(Health))]
public class Hittable : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Health health;
    private Knockbackable knockback;

    private void Awake()
    {
        health = GetComponent<Health>();
        knockback = GetComponent<Knockbackable>();
    }

    public void TakeHit(int damage, int knockbackPower, Vector3 knockbackSource)
    {
        TakeDamage(damage);

        if (knockback != null)
        {
            knockback.InflictKnockback(knockbackSource, knockbackPower);
        }
    }

    public void TakeDamage(int amount)
    {
        health.ChangeHealth(-1 * amount);
    }
}
#

But I feel like hittable shouldn't be aware of knockbackable's existence. I first tried using UnityEvents but it seemed messy trying to pass Vector3 as a parameter. I also tried an IHittable interface but it doesn't seem suitable in this case.

leaden ice
#

and Knockbackable listen to it

steady moat
royal pulsar
#

What about, for instance, if I have a box that remains stationary when hit

latent latch
#

Perhaps some enum to check if it can be knocked back

steady moat
#

You can knockback something that is not being hit, however being knockback does not mean you have been hit.

latent latch
#

I think the logic like this seems a bit too split

leaden ice
steady moat
#

You can also, modulate the knockback effect inside the knockback component.

royal pulsar
#

So it is ok to GetComponent<Knockbackable> in Awake() if I can't guarantee that the component will have knockbackable?

#

I only ask because I feel like (if knockback != null) is messy

leaden ice
royal pulsar
latent latch
#

Checking if the interface exists is widely used

#

you can also use TryGetComponent and inline it

#

It's not like you're checking it every frame anyway

Hey! I would put this question in a more skybox-related chat, but I think it'll have to do more with coding than anything in engine.
I'm trying to make my skybox move dynamically with the player's vertical position. So the higher up the player ascends, the more the skybox will transform down to mirror that movement. This is to better sell the feeling of moving upwards as well as revealing the higher bits of the skybox to the camera. Any ideas on how I would go about doing this?

Here's a fun thing I've encountered recently. When running my app in fullscreen on mac, the menu bar used to show up when the user hovered near the top of the screen.

# leaden ice sounds like a mac os setting

Yeah I thought that too, but we've tried it on several macs all with different os versions so we can narrow it down to something has changed with the software. It used to show on all systems in our last version. However we removed all the references to the resolution from the project. I've looked through version control and I can't see a reference to any setting that would do this.

For clarity I'm talking about the window title bar, with close/minimise/maximise on it

Does anyone know how exactly the double jump in hollow knight works? It's not like a normal jump, it sort of holds or goes down slightly or something before being lauched up. Or is that just a trick being played on my eyes from the animation?

Also anyone know any tips to make double jumps feel extra juicy and add game feel? (From code, not effects/visuals)

juiciness/game feel is often largely the realm of animations

I had a script called Gatherable and one called Hittable which described rocks and enemies respectively. however i realised Gatherable is almost exactly the same as Hittable so I decided to merge it into Hittable. Whereas previously Gatherable objects could only be destroyed by a pickaxe, now they can be destroyed by gunfire. What's the best way to differentiate between the damage types? from reading up on similar situations where info such as "fire damage" and "water damage" is needed, an enum seems suitable. is that correct for my situation?

Yes, or you can handle it from the weapon/tool

Hey so i use Perlin Noice to geneerate a voxel map "like minecraft" but i want a "block" to be out of 4x4x4 voxels
can someone help me out here?

#

i thought about adding a loop to keep x/y/z on 1 value for 4 repeatisions but i have no idea how 😄

crude mortar
#

make your main for loops add 4 each time instead of 1 to your x y and z values, then do 3 inner loops for x y z that go from 0 to 4 (exclusive) to fill all 64 voxels with the same type

# 
for (var x = 0; x < chunkSize; x += 4)
for (var y = 0; y < chunkSize; y += 4)
for (var z = 0; z < chunkSize; z += 4) {
  Set4x4Voxels(x, y, z, yourVoxelType);
}

private void Set4x4Voxels(int rootX, int rootY, int rootZ, VoxelType voxelType) {
  for (var x = 0; x < 4; x++)
  for (var y = 0; y < 4; y++)
  for (var z = 0; z < 4; z++) {
    SetVoxel(rootX + x, rootY + y, rootZ + z, voxelType);
  }
}
spice cave
#

i think i get it... will do some testing 😄 thanks ! ❤️

crude mortar
#

need to edit my function, you have to add the parameters to the for loop values, sec

#

but yeah that's the basic idea

#

you would want your chunk size to be divisible by 4 though

spice cave
#

i think about 16x16x512 so 1 chunk would be 4x4x128 blocks 😄

#

can i get back to you if i fail and give up? xD

maybe

As a side note, I came across a deprecated option PlayerSettings.macFullscreenMode has an enum called FullscreenWindowWithDockAndMenuBar. I don't know if there's a newer equivalent to this setting or not, but it would be useful if there was

I'm trying to alter properties on a material depending on a variable, (for example, depending on whether or not the object is selected), but I heard I should not just set material properties directly.

#

As this either creates a new material entirely, or alters the material property for all objects using that material

I want to create a VR app in unity. This is the plan:

3d modeling a room
Add some visual monitors
Then I want to put it on my phone. I want to connect the app with a PC (if needed with a PC application. I also can create the connect application my own) and have some visual screens for my PC on my phone VR app. And then I have like 3 visual monitors and I can configurer these on my PC.... Like this windows settings where you can move the monitors so it's lined up

I know it's a bigggggg goal....

How to display it in unity on to the screen? How to add visual monitors?

river kelp
#

What is the correct way to interact with materials through code?

unborn bolt
river kelp
unborn bolt
#

I should be like normal connected monitors... Just visual

river kelp
#

What I'm getting is that you want to like, show your PC monitor on your phone screen, right?

unborn bolt
#

Yes.. in my 3d project on a screen model

river kelp
#

You're kind of asking too big a question at once. "How do I do the entire project"

knotty sun
#

multiple cameras each targeting a different display

unborn bolt
river kelp
#

I would suggest you try to break it down into smaller doable parts

unborn bolt
#

I have a 3d modeled room with monitor models etc. Now I want to create a PC application to create multiple visual monitors and schow these screens in the 3d models of the screens.

river kelp
#

Which you want to display on your phone, right?

unborn bolt
#

  1. How to create multiple visual monitors using a application on the PC

  2. How to display these on the 3d models in unity

unborn bolt
river kelp
#

So, a good first step would be to try to get a VR app that runs on your phone

unborn bolt
#

I got

river kelp
#

which shows your 3d modeled room and screens, with nothing on them yet

unborn bolt
unborn bolt
river kelp
#

That's step one, right

unborn bolt
#

Ok

river kelp
#

Step two then is to get your phone to talk to the computer at all

#

So if the screens are displaying just, text from the computer, that's step two completed

#

Then step 3 is to make the computer make these images of the monitors and send them to your phone

unborn bolt
#

Without the controller in the hand and if possible with other monitors... So it's a new and not duplicatimg the physically one

Virtual_Desktop_Virtueller_Monitor.jpg
somber nacelle
#

your example uses Virtual Desktop which has a standalone application that captures and streams the desktop to the receiver app. This standalone app is not something you would be able to (or even want to) create in unity

#

also I don't know if you've ever actually used it, but you need a really good wifi connection for it to work smoothly

river kelp
#

He also wants it to do 3 screens

#

so, triple connection

knotty sun
#

actually what he wants to do is not that difficult but it does require a very serious skill level to implement correctly

unborn bolt
#

Nah Maybe start with 1. And I would like to use a cable

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

• VS Code*
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

*VS Code's debugger plugin is unsupported.
We recommend using VS or Rider instead.

unborn bolt
#

And open it by double tap

river kelp
#

Probably a good idea to avoid VS code to begin with..

frosty tiger
river kelp
#

raising a generation of programmers that code blindly, with no debugging

unborn bolt
somber nacelle
river kelp
somber nacelle
frosty tiger
#

is there any practical difference between the two?

river kelp
#

yeah

somber nacelle
#

they are completely separate programs. vs code is basically just a fancy text editor while visual studio is a fully featured IDE out of the box

marble delta
#

Unity has much tighter integration with Visual Studio, which is the important part here

frosty tiger
#

I see, I'll listen to your advice then and switch coz doesn't matter much to me what I use as long as it makes things convenient

somber nacelle
river kelp
#

I was surprised at how convenient it was to set up and make work, coming from Unreal which constantly fights with visual studio

frosty tiger
heady iris
#

the big thing you lose with VSCode is a debugger that works correctly

How would I change this dropdown for a URP material at runtime in a script? I have tried to google for it but I can only find standard pipeline shaders or shader graph shaders, and this is neither.

I want to swap between opaque, semi-transparent, and disabled without needing two copies of every material

semi-transparent being the issue here

lean sail

you can setup your own shader with a node going into its alpha channel, then just decrease the alpha. Or apply a dithering, transparent setting really really sucks

Disabling and opaque work fine

Fihgting with this surface mode thing is making me think that doubling materials is probably easier

My first time using properties. This isn't working. I assume its my use of Time.time?

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

public class Recoil : MonoBehaviour
{
    private bool recoil = false;
    public bool InRecoil
    {
        get
        {
            if (recoil && Time.time >= recoilTimer)
            {
                recoil = false;
                return false;
            }
            else
            {
                return true;
            }
        }
        set
        {
            recoilTimer = Time.time + recoilTime;
            recoil = true;
        }
    }
    private float recoilTimer;
    [SerializeField] private float recoilTime = 0.3f;
}

It's used here :

public void Shoot()
    {
        // Check if recoil period is over
        if (!recoil.InRecoil)
        {
            // Shoot raycast and return hit object (or null)
            RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(firePoint.position, firePoint.right, range);

            // If the ray hit an object, check if the object is Hittable
            if (hit)
            {
                GameObject hitObject = hit.transform.gameObject;
                TryHitObject(hitObject);
            }

            // Enable recoil period
            recoil.InRecoil = false;

So here's the thing. It's not as simple as just making another material and referencing it in the inspector, the materials are loaded from an asset bundle exported by a different project and applied to runtime-generated meshes using data from a java program that parses AutoCAD drawings so if I could just hit a transparent button it would be significantly less work because if I change one of these materials that's every one of those repositories that needs to be updated to make sure it threads all the way through to Unity

thats how those 6 devs keep their job

if no one understands it, no one can replace them

I mean, most of us understand it. It's not generated solely to be consumed by Unity. My program is sort of a leech on the data pipeline that siphons off bits of it to display in a modern graphical form instead of basically spreadsheets

cycleOffset is a weird variable.
Right now I'm trying to have an animation play from the beginning on its first loop, then play from a second in on all subsequent loops. But instead, cycleOffset just changes what time the animation gets transitioned into and then loops the animation like regular from there. Pretty much the exact opposite of what I want, lol.
Could someone show me how to do a sort of inverse cycleOffset?

Hello! Simple question, does anyone know how to detect if the player is moving down? I'm trying to do something like this:

float slopeDotProduct = Vector3.Dot(slopeHit.normal, Vector3.back);

        Debug.Log(slopeDotProduct);
        if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, Vector3.down, out slopeHit, groundRaycastDistance, groundLayer))
        {
            slopeAngle = Vector3.Angle(slopeHit.normal, Vector3.up);

            if (slopeAngle > 0f && slopeAngle <= slopeAngleDefault)
            {
                if ((slopeDotProduct < 1 ))
                {
                    isFalling = true;
                }
            }

I'm trying to detect if the player is moving down a slope. If the player is moving down a slope, an animation would play until they hit the ground.

and the player would have to be grounded

Is there any way to start playing an animation during a transition?
I've named my transition states appropriately, and Animator.StringToHash() works fine with it, but Animator.Play tells me that it "couldn't be found".

leaden ice
#

and screenshots of your animator state machine

void basalt
# 
        myAnimator.Play(Animator.StringToHash("TransitionToReload"));```
#

one sec for the screenshot

#

All I'm trying to do is dynamically construct a freeze frame at the transition's normalized time

#

I know how to get the info, I just can't figure out how to construct it

leaden ice
void basalt
#

I'm well aware. I was more or less asking for a possible solution

#

rigging something with crossfade might be the only solution

lone vector
#

Would someone be able to teach me what the right application is for creating functions that have <T> in them? I'm not sure how to quite word this into google to get the explanation I'm looking for and I'm trying to figure out if that would be best suited for a function I'm making

would it be right to say you use it almost exclusively to relay to said function a specific class? I feel like that can't be right though because if that was the case you could just make it a parameter

ashen yoke
lone vector
#

but that can't be right cos it needs to return something

ashen yoke
#

<T> is a generic argument

lone vector
#

that's more googleable lmao

#

ahh okay thats exactly what i was trying to find

#

thank you lmao

ashen yoke
#

in essense when you create generics you are creating a template

#

the compiler will then compile that class for you into a specific version of whatever you provide as T

#

so List<string> List<int> are two separate classes, the compiler will generate them when you create a List<T> of string or int

lone vector
#

so would you say the distinction is more of an optimisation thing than a functional difference in the code

#

or am i mistaking what you're saying

leaden ice
#

For methods, it's similar. For example, GetComponent<T> is actually a way of writing GetRigidbody GetCollider GetLight without actually writing the same code 400 times

ashen yoke
#

well, you get the benefit of exactly the same api of the whole family of List<T> disregarding the end type of T

lone vector
#

ohhh so like

#

wait no

leaden ice
ashen yoke
#

the optimization part only applies to structs you pass as T

#

since when T is a struct, a compiler will generate a type with that struct, bypassing boxing costs

lone vector
#

i'm just trying to figure out the difference of doing it the generics way and doing it by just passing a type through as a parameter

leaden ice
#

parameters happen at runtime

lone vector
#

ah so it isn't actually a functional difference? functional as in like, changes the behaviour

leaden ice
#

and I guess if you're using type parameters you'd be doing reflection?

#

you'd have to show an example of what you're comparing

ashen yoke
#

yeah generics enforce validity of your code and class compatibility at compile time

#

you wont get that if you will rely on casting

leaden ice
#

because I don't really see how you would do the same thing with generics vs a parameter

lone vector
leaden ice
lone vector
#

rather than doing it with generics

ashen yoke
#

you cant enforce that the type you pass is inheriting Component

#

at compile time

leaden ice
ashen yoke
#

with generics you just add a constraint where T : Component and you know at compile time if you passed the wrong type

lone vector
#

ohhhh

#

i think im getting it

leaden ice
#

you would have to do this:

Component c = GetComponent(typeof(Rigidbody));
Rigidbody r = (Rigidbody)c;```
#

vs:

Rigidbody r = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();```
ashen yoke
#

GetComponent<Vector3>() wont compile

lone vector
#

okay i think im getting it

leaden ice
#

also yes you can enforce type constraints like that^

ashen yoke
#

lol it actually does compile

lone vector
ashen yoke
#

but for different unrelated reasons

leaden ice
#

Unity could make it not compile but they didn't

#

largely because they want GetComponent to work with interfaces

ashen yoke
#

yeah

leaden ice
ashen yoke
#

why imagine

leaden ice
#

you would have to cast the object coming out of it every time

ashen yoke
#

there are still remnants of .net 2.0 in System

leaden ice
#

Java 1.4

#

Basically there was a time before generics and it was a dark time

lone vector
#

i wouldnt generally group it together with something like GetComponent in my head but

ashen yoke
#

yes its a list of object

#

with boxing, no type safety etc

#

add whatever you want

lone vector
#

i guess im just not really sure what List is to the program, rather just what it does

leaden ice
lone vector
#

yeah okay

leaden ice
#

List<int> is a list of ints

ashen yoke
#

a wrapper around an array with specific way to handle inserts/removes

leaden ice
#

List<GameObject> is a list of GameObjects

lone vector
ashen yoke
#

it is an object, its a class

#

its just that the compiler generates a new separate class for each T you provide

lone vector
leaden ice
#

GetComponent is a method

#

List is a type

lone vector
#

yeah

ashen yoke
#

ok List<int>.Add(int value)

#

see the int value

#

that is compiler generated

#

enforced

lone vector
#

oh okay

ashen yoke
#

in the source its Add(T value)

lone vector
#

i think i get what you're saying

lean sail
lone vector
#

thats making a lot more sense

lean sail
#

generics really isnt as complicated as it seems, its notation is just confusing at first

ashen yoke
#

the most confusing part i see is when to use them

lone vector
#

unfortunately that also means it looks like the use for it I have right now turns out to not be the right use case, and im gonna have to try and remind myself of this later if it eventually does prove itself useful

ashen yoke
#

that comes over time when you realize you actually need that functionality

lone vector
#

yeah lmao

#

thanks for all the help guys

lean sail
#

it really is niche

ashen yoke
#

and has lots of pitfalls

lean sail
#

i feel like ive said so many things are niche by now lol

ashen yoke
#

i still would advice to overuse them at first

#

overuse, learn when it does and doesnt work, find that middle

lone vector
#

at the moment im working on a script for tracking trigger collisions on the player and a function that, when called, will return the nearest active collision

#

i was thinking "what is that <T> thing about and is it applicable here" but i dont think generics will work now knowing what they're intended for

#

im not sure if this is a bad approach but i've been using tags to detect collisions between categories of things in the game anyways, mostly because I'm scared of GetComponent calls

#

oh actually I do have another question

#

if I've got a component where, say for example the parent of the script will always have a certain component that I want to cache in a variable, but I don't want to have to manually drag the component into it from the inspector for each instance, what do I do?

ashen yoke
#

because I'm scared of GetComponent calls
i advice to drop this thinking asap

lone vector
#

the obvious thing is to just do GetComponent call in Start

#

but i hate when the first frame of the scene loading has a giant lag spike

#

and when I do this for literally every script i think that might be a genuine concern

#

so like is there a way to do it so that it assigns this reference on build?

lean sail
lone vector
#

this is just what has happened in past projects

ashen yoke
ashen yoke
lone vector
ashen yoke
#

yes

lone vector
#

i have heard a lot of pushback on the idea that GetComponent calls are expensive

ashen yoke
#

do your own tests

#

run as much getcomps as you can per frame, observe the numbers

lone vector
#

the only problem is my computer is rather powerful

#

and i feel like it's not going to accurately portray how it would run on weaker hardware

lean sail
lone vector
#

won't it?

#

or do you mean like

lean sail
#

Check how many you need before you notice major lag, it will be an absurd amount

lone vector
#

test right now and see how extremely high the amount of GetComp calls you can get away with are

#

oh yeah

lone vector
void basalt
#

CPUs aren't designed to jump around in memory like OOP does

lean sail
#

Even if you tested this on a shit PC, i guarantee you wont be calling enough get components per frame no matter what

#

this only matters if you have like 1000s of entities fighting and calling per collision

lone vector
#

where did this initial crazy getcomponent stigma come from i wonder

#

unity has been around for a while

lean sail
#

stigma's exist on everything

lone vector
lean sail
#

people say Vscode is light weight => people say every other IDE is "heavy"
wtf does "heavy" mean because i showed someone my spotify took more resources than VS

leaden ice
lone vector
#

that makes sense

#

cos there are cases where getcomponent is still dangerous

lone vector
latent latch
lone vector
#

aww

void basalt
#

This conversation is pretty pointless. It's always going to be faster to access a cached reference to a memory location than to search for it

lone vector
#

i tried to send the gif of a computer exploding

#

pretend I sent one

lone vector
latent latch
#

How do interfaces work with getComponent anyway? Does it do the same linear search between scripts?

lone vector
#

but from what ive heard generally with games its more important to get shit working quickly

void basalt
#

If you can save some CPU time with minimal effort, do it

lone vector
#

yeah, but minimal effort is the stipulation

#

manually assigning variable references in the inspector for a bunch of objects takes a lot of time

lean sail
lone vector
#

well yeah dont worry i get that lmfao

#

im not gonna go abadon the idea of caching

void basalt
ashen yoke

        }
    }
}
lone vector
#

what does this code do

ashen yoke
#

on my machine 5k getcomps per frame take about 1.2ms

latent latch
#

This is why you always start searching from the middle of the array

lean sail
lone vector
latent latch
#

50% chance you find it faster 50% worst case ;)

ashen yoke
#

so if i were to allocate a budget for a very dynamic crazy architecture that needs those 5k getcomps every frame i could estimate

#

in realistic scenarios where its really easier and better architecturally to use getcomp, you would end up with about 100 per frame

lone vector
#

i think tbh most of the lag in my games have been GPU time anyways

ashen yoke
#

which is peanuts

void basalt
lone vector
somber nacelle
lone vector
#

if you're using update a lot i'd imagine thats true

#

atm i generally try to avoid update as much as I can get away with though

latent latch
ashen yoke
#

its most likely just linear search

lone vector
#

oh uh

ashen yoke
#

any other type resolution structure would be insane

lone vector
#

its probably also worthing that I'm using interfaces a fair bit for the collision checking

ashen yoke
#

good

lone vector
#

im still pretty new to using interfaces but i kinda get what they are for

ashen yoke
#

use what makes sense architecturally

lone vector
#

alright if theres no problem there then sweet

#

lmfao

latent latch
#

collision checking and raycast stuff usually a bulk of work my project does

#

and pathfinding

ashen yoke
#

its very easy to optimize clear simple code, its very hard to deoptimize a mess made on wrong assumptions

lone vector
#

thats a good thing to keep in mind

void basalt
#

you should also avoid multithreading. Unity doesn't support it, unless its through the jobs system.

lone vector
#

i used to use it

void basalt
#

everyone just goes "well I'll make my game super fast by dividing the logic on all cores" not realizing that you literally cant

lone vector
#

cos I thought I needed to

#

i think there was one case where I did actually make good use of it

ashen yoke
void basalt
#

Multithreading works best when you have linear data, and you simply give your thread a memory address to work on

lone vector
#

there was an object that had skinned mesh renderer and i wanted to have it continuously animate by having the points follow a wave function based on time

#

and using the jobs system for multiple transforms is super easy

#

since it was purely a visual thing it made a lot of sense

#

and its meant to run on mobile archetecture

void basalt
#

did you benchmark it?

lone vector
#

but yeah i never actually did

#

preemptive optimisation

#

conceptually it just sounds wrong to run everything on a single thread

void basalt
#

unity does background stuff on other threads

lone vector
#

so I thought "well this ParralelForTransform thing is designed to iterate over multiple transforms using a seperate thread, and this application is purely visual"

#

it was all stupid though cos it took way more time than it probably needed to

#

and only one of that object would ever exist in the entire scene

#

and it probably didnt even need to animate unless it was in the player's field of view

quick hull
#

hey i have three prefabs

#

and a empty game object

#

is there a way i can replace the empty game object with a prefab

#

based on a certain keypress

dusk apex
#

What do you mean by replace?

quick hull
#

this is basically what i am trying to do

potent sleet
quick hull
#

but idk how to reset the placeholder object

#

everytime i do keydown

#

should i delete the instantiate object

potent sleet
quick hull
#

you basically make a clone right

potent sleet
#

currentObject = Instantiate(etc..
sum like that

#

then you can do if(currentObject != null) Destroy(currentObject)

#

rinse and repeat

quick hull
#

oh ok

potent sleet
#

probably want to learn how to do object pooling though 😛

#

Destroying and Instantiating every time get costly

quick hull
#

is that when i run it through a for loop

dusk apex
#

It's when garbage collector cleans up after the object is destroyed - expense.

quick hull
#

ok

#

only squares are spawning

#

oh

#

i dont think i need else

fresh raft
#

can someone help me get a xr direct interactor work with the sr grab interactable because it never wants to pickup anything when i configure it correctly

Having trouble with interfaces. I had a few questions earlier in the day that I posted to the beginner chat, and they said it might be more advanced, so i'm posting my followup here.

I've got an interface IAbility that all of my ability cards derive from. When the player selects a card to use, the game controller has to be able to call the 'activate' method without knowing the name of the class of the card. Thus: trying to use interfaces to keep method names uniform but method effects unique.

However, when I want to call on a method in one of my derived classes, the Debug log is telling me that I'm actually running the version of the method that exists in IAbility, not the version that exists in the GameObject Ability_Attack

So: If I have GameObject activeAbility, how do I get the game controller code to find the right component in activeAbility.GetComponent<?????>().activate()?

I tried IAbility where the ?????s are, and it doesn't work.

I can't hardcode it to be activeAbility.GetComponent<Ability_Attack>, because that means it'll only work for that one type of card.

Thanks

interfaces don't have implementations, so based on your description you've done something wrong. I would guess that you have a non-virtual method defined in a class (not interface), and then implemented a method of the same name in a subclass and ignored the compiler's warning about it

#

we would need to see some code snippets to be sure though

delicate spruce
#

The Interface:

#

The attack:

#

where the method is called:

#

First two lines of the loop are to instantiate the attack ability based on the prefab, and then swap out the reference to the prefab in favor of the instantiated version

Since when can interfaces define implementation?🤔

delicate spruce
#

What I get in my debug log is the "Template" text

that wont compile

did you enable new .net features?

#

if not, you have a problem with the project

delicate spruce

mossy snow
#

I don't know, but if he's using something unsupported it would explain weird behavior

#

delete those implementations in the interface Greg, and see if it works as expected

ashen yoke
#

Unity support for C# 8 has started on version 2020.2 and C# 9 has started on version 2021.2

#

thing is they support features that are compatible with their mono

#

and you have to explicitly enable it

#

Greg did you enable c# 8 support?

delicate spruce
#

How would I check?

ashen yoke

And override in your sub class

ashen yoke

#

If you want a class to implement interface methods, then in the interface, these methods should not declare a body

#

In your example they do, which is incorrect in this context and won't do what you want them to do

ashen yoke
simple egret
#

Interface: void GenerateTargets();

delicate spruce
#

Wait, regenerating the project seems to have cleared up the "virtual is not valid" error [edit] nevermind, it's back

ashen yoke
#

so no errors?

#

something is wrong with your install it seems

cosmic rain
delicate spruce
#

It works!

#

So should I still try reinstalling Unity/VirtualStudio? Sounds like this C# version issue might cause problems down the line

#

But thanks everyone! This was really helpful!

cosmic rain
#

No. I don't think the issue was with the version at all. It was probably an incorrect usage of the interface default methods.

delicate spruce
#

It sounds like i can write default methods for the things that all of the ability cards will have in common, then. I'll try playing around with it.

cosmic rain
#

They need to be used like virtual methods in base classes(you need to override then in the implementing class). Or so it seems from reading the docs.
Anyways, tip: don't use features that you don't know much about. Or at least read the documentation before that.

hi

#

where do i ask for help

#

my game keeps crashing

oblique spoke
#

It does work, as the more recent posts in that thread mention.

latent latch
#

Oooh, defining some base implementation with interfaces sounds nice, assuming you can append to the logic

#

Actually, I guess you can just make the methods virtual and override them anyway

#

ah, but it would be nice between unrelated classes

Has anyone ever ran into the issue where uploading their game to steam for some reason disables certain features of Unity? When I build my game locally, light cookies on my directional light behaves like expected, but when I upload that exact same build to steam and play it through steam, the light cookies magically disapear...

Is it possible to check if splines intersect. I have multiple splines in the same 2d plane. I want to find the intersection points. I use dreamteck splines

Been trying out a couple things, a 3D model with a second camera, but it's not shown for some reason

Just drag it

Ahh I mean that it is in the game view, not scene view. As in within the game

trim schooner
#

lol.. then state what you're actually trying to do properly 😄

Why StopCoroutine("coroutine_name") doesnt work?

  • you need to reference it

So string attribute just doesnt work as it should be?

trim schooner
#

nope, and is a bad way to be coding anyway

Dept is bigger than the main camera and the second is a child, normally it would show 🤔

Okay, thank you.
