i need some help i have a code for enemy pathfiding to find the player and follow him but the enemies are overlaping how can i stop them do that. Is in 2D

#

Where do I determine how much 1 unit of a ray cast is and how much 1 unit on a transform position is?

#

and are ray casts and player transform position length units the same by default?

obtuse frost
#

I believe all unity units are assumed to be "1 meter" in world space

#

we recommend you assume 1 Unity unit
= 1 meter (100cm), because many physics systems assume this unit size

If anyone has some free time I wouldn't mind a review on this movement code: https://gdl.space/gokehequtu.cpp It's intended to serve as the basis for a controller that handles Tribes-esque skiing and jetting

This is my code with redone collisions. Collisions witht he ground are great but with walls they are bad and especially so when running and jumping. I'm not sure what has gone wrong with my code. If you want to help only pay attention to state changes and the collisiona rea

i get this error how can i resolve it "Operator '+' cannot be applied to operands of type 'float' and 'Vector2'" here is the script

#

public void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)
{

if (other.tag == "Player")
{

    other.GetComponent<PlayerController>().TakeDamage(10);
    Vector2 difference = transform.position - other.transform.position;
    transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x + difference, transform.position.y + difference);
    
  
        
}

}

obtuse frost
#

transform.position.x + difference, transform.position.y + difference You're adding a Vector2 to scalar components of position here. Try transform.position = transform.position + difference;

#

Either that or specify difference.x and difference.y

leaden ice
#

If difference is a Vector2 all you need is transform.position += difference;

What would be the recommended way (if any) to store my constant strings such that I can then use them in, say, an attribute?
Example:

[MenuItem(Constants.MyStringConstant)]

This doesn't work because apparently attributes are evaluated at compile time and static variables at runtime.
Is there a workaround?
I'm not a fan of having the hard coded strings. More than once have I mistyped the parent menu item and ended up with a different tab in the editor.

I'm dumb. Thanks!

swift falcon
obtuse frost
#

Use them to modify the local position incrementally until some reasonable distance is achieved as a result

swift falcon
#

thanks

obtuse frost
#

For reference, I just used that strategy to implement reduced control in-air for my controller like so:

Vector3 desiredVelocity = (transform.forward * moveVector.z + transform.right * moveVector.x).normalized * speed;
velocity.y = 0;
//velocity = Vector3.MoveTowards(velocity, desiredVelocity, airControlFactor);
velocity = Vector3.Lerp(velocity, desiredVelocity, airControlFactor * Time.deltaTime);
#

Per usual, multiplying by Time.deltaTime will make it FPS indepedent (though I do this in a FixedUpdate which I think means it's unecessary since Time.deltaTime in this context should effectively be a constant)

swift falcon
#

thanks

#

ok but now i go trough walls whenever a enemy knocbacks me and also if more than one enemy knocksmeback i ll go further than i should

obtuse frost
#

I don't know the details of your controller but it sounds like you need to add logic to detect potential collisions in the path when moving

rancid frost
#

glad to hear it

obtuse frost
#

@swift falcon I think you could just cast a ray on your movement path to check for collisions, if there is one modify the position change the land before the wall

swift falcon
#

i don t think you understood not the enemy is having a problem but the player when the enemy hits him and apply knockback

obtuse frost
#

I understand that, and wherever that knockback movement is being implemented should have an accompanying collision check using a ray cast along the path of movement

swift falcon
#

a ok

my game is a top and down

You can use Physics2D.Raycast

Hey does anyone know how in unity when you press a button the windows file explorer opens and you can select a file? (Script)

ashen yoke
#

in editor?

obtuse frost
#

Pretty old but it might still be correct

ashen yoke
#

all those solutions are hacky and platform specific

#

even the more robust attempt to standardize this are finicky and too much maintenance

slim gazelle
mild karma
ashen yoke
#

yes like this one

obtuse frost
#

File management tends to be platform specific and finnicky in general

ashen yoke
#

not really file management

#

it attempts to call native file dialogs, which can be replicated cross platform, and are replicated with ugui/imgui/uitk

slim gazelle
#

also only for Windows

ashen yoke
slim gazelle
#

Yes, I do the whole thing only for Windows

ashen yoke
#

try it, first thing is build the game and test

obtuse frost
#

If you take a look at the source of those libraries I think you'll likely find that they've had to implement the same finnicky process for finding the correct file management executable

Is there a way to serialize tuples in the inspector? I just want to have a type with 2 values inside without the need to create a struct just for that

slim gazelle
mild karma
slim gazelle
#

Well, I want to make an image editing program and you have to have to open an image

ashen yoke
#

its not necessary to use native dialogs, they are convenient but not required

#

just look at blender

obtuse frost
#

Actually it looks like that's what imgui might be doing, just reading out the filesystem and displaying it in a custom dialog

ashen yoke
slim gazelle
#

can you do it somehow so that you can later select a file in the game/program for editing?

ashen yoke
#

you have all the tools in System.IO to manipulate files on disk

Yeah you should absolutely get git setup

sour zealot

Okay

But I need to get my prefab back

If you commit frequently problems like these can be solved with one-liners like git checkout -- file

I guess restore is the new method over checkout -- but whatever

sour zealot

I need my prefab back

obtuse frost
# pastel wind Roughly

If you used the free one on the asset store I'd point to a couple specific points in the description:

Strong programming and 3D math knowledge are required in order to use this package. This is by no means a "plug-and-play" solution, and it expects you to write your own input, camera, animation and velocity/rotation-handling code. It was made for users who wish to have the full freedom of writing their own game-specific character controllers, but want to have a strong foundation to start with.

What's included?
...

  • A "walkthrough", which is a series of tutorials that give examples of how to implement common features such as double-jumping, climbing ladders, swimming, rootmotion, etc....
obtuse frost
sour zealot
#

I tried that

#

It’s fine

I’ll redo the prefab

transform should hold a position property, which is yea, Vector3(x, y, z);

Transform is not a visual scripting node

jus test it real quick.. add it to a simple cube or something and evaluate what 1 does for each of the values..

then u'll know what order they're in..

i dont kno why it would be anything other than this

I though you would seperate XYZ in two three node points and point whatever value you get i.e mouse X in x axis slot, but i see here that you need to give it a angle, and then you can manually adjust the power

Yeah i followed the instructions, doesn't work shrug

leaden ice
#

what exactly are you trying to attach

scarlet kindle
#

The instructions are missing some steps, there needs to be a Revealer attached to a Player game object for it to work.

I was trying to use the original library and that information is included in it, so I know that much.

I was trying to do that step with the MangoFogRevealer, and it wouldnt let me

but this one was made for unity 3d, so i think i need to hack it to get it to work for 2d

it might be easier to just do this myself lol

#

plus i'd learn more

leaden ice
#

I would guess you tried to attach MangoFogRevealer which is not correct

scarlet kindle
#

well, that's the fog unit, which needs to be rendered. so agreed. but, there needs to be a revealer attached to a game object as well

leaden ice
#

it's not a component

and doesn't need to be attached to anything

scarlet kindle

let me check, one sec

Unity gives the error Kernel at index (0) is invalid on dispatching a compute shader. From what I saw on google it's probably because I'm using URP. I don't want to change from URP since the game is using shader graphs with URP.

I've run into the fun "hopping down slopes" situation because I only figured in movement for the horizontal plane. Looks and works fine on upward slopes, and I think I can just re-orient the movement vector to be parallel with the slope, but I'm curious about a couple points:

  1. Does using the same walk speed as flat ground feel the same?
  2. Should I use the CharacterController slope limit for this so that if a character walks off too steep of a slope they do, in fact fall down? Or should I just clamp it so there's still a momentary downward movement as soon as the character steps off the steep slope?

i think i figured out why

#

i misplaced the script

#

it goes in the Player folder

#

it's a replacement script to make something work

leaden ice
#

Also it's very possible this script has a custom inspector

Can someone please help, I am trying to spawn gamobject blocks and snap them to a grid, so far, I found a script that works as I want, but it only seems to be able to handle one gameobject, so i decided to duplicate the script and change it according to each item, after days of back and forth with chatgpt with not much luck that's the approach I decided to take, so i tried it with a second block, it worked almost, but i could not move the block after it spawned like with the first one, let alone snap it to the grid, why? is there perhaps a better solution to maybe be able to spawn multiple gameobject blocks with one script? here is the script I am using: https://gdl.space/raw/eloguvogaq

I personally wouldn't recommend using ChatGPT to learn things

hey i have a question...
In my project i use scxriptable objects for the guns, which works fine, but i have CSGO-like recoil in my game that you can configure with floats in the scriptable objects. and my problem is that my spray looks completely different in a Build version than in the editor. the shape is still pretty much the same, but its way, and i mean way smaller. Is there a way to fix this or do i just have to configure the values by changing them and making a build all the time?

Hello I'm currently exploring custom editors to have a more readable and easy to use inspector. I have built a pretty simple custom editor that works amazing, but, I wish to apply this editor to a Serializable class that does not inherit from monoBehaviour, and I've not been sucessfull at it. Ether I make it a monobehaviour and the editor works fine, or I don't and the editor does not apply.

Picures
[1] - Non monobehaviour and serialized from another script (Goal, but not applying custom editor)
[2] - As a monobehavior viewed from adding the script to the gameObject

#

The script in question is the DamageAdder btwe

I'm new to 2d. When two items have the same Z position (say a sprite), which will get rendered on top of the other? Is it non-deterministic? Does it depend on the hierarchy/sibling order?

spring creek
modern creek
#

No worries. Just wrapping my head around this all, since all my games in the past have been 100% UI layer stuff and I ought to grow a bit.

Do people usually use layers for z-ordering, or should I be manually setting the z position? I assume maybe some combination of both?

spring creek
#

I personally try to keep everything at z 0, and set only the sorting layer

Cool, thanks

Im having an annoying issue after following this tutorial by catlike coding (https://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/flow/waves/)
I tried to add code so that if I duplicate the plane and move it to the side, the waves position will be adjusted so that the two planes mesh together, and it sort of works, but the mesh moves more and more out of place the farter it is from the scene origin.
Screenshot & code:

📎 waves.txt image.png
#

To clarify, I want the waves to mesh like this, but manually adjusting the positions so that it looks correct leaves the plane at ~9.09 (each plane is 10 by 10)

Is there a reason why my struct values are being reset?

# 
 private void HandleUnitSpawn(UnitSpawnData unitSpawnData)
 {
     if (unitSpawnData.spawnDelayInMilliseconds > 0) unitSpawnData.spawnDelayInMilliseconds -= Time.deltaTime;
     else if (unitSpawnData.timeUntilNextSpawn > 0) unitSpawnData.timeUntilNextSpawn -= Time.deltaTime;
     else
     {
         SpawnMultipleUnitsAtOnce(unitSpawnData.unit, unitSpawnData.spawnAmountAtOnce);
         unitSpawnData.timeUntilNextSpawn = unitSpawnData.spawnFrequencyInMilliseconds;
     }
 }

 private void FixedUpdate()
 {
     foreach(UnitSpawnData unitSpawnData in currentGameLevelUnitList)
     {
         HandleUnitSpawn(unitSpawnData);
     }
 }
#

UnitSpawnData is a struct

#

Passing a struct to the function resets it to the default values?

leaden ice
fervent furnace
#

You modify the struct in other method? It will not synchronise

leaden ice
#

basically HandleUnitSPawn doesn't do anything

#

If you want to be able to modify it you will need to pass it as a ref parameter

#

or return the modified struct

#

structs are pass by value not pass by reference

upper pilot
#

Yeah when I tried to write to the struct inside foreach directly I got an error.
Changing it to use regular for loop to see if that works.

#

I will try with ref

night harness
#

I was coming up with the same roadblocks this week, ended up just going from a struct to a poco class

fervent furnace
#

You cannot modify the collection value in foreach

upper pilot
#

Cant do ref inside foreach either

#

So the idea is that struct is like a primitive value so when I pass it to the function HandleSpawn(myStruct) I am just passing a value, not a reference?

fervent furnace
#

Ofc yes

#

Struct is passed by value and be copied

upper pilot
#

right that makes sense, I will use ref since I want to keep using struct for this probably.

#

and I wanted to separate this code into its own function as well.

#

Is there a reason why I cant do it in foreach?

fervent furnace
#

Wait is currentgamelevelxxx a list?

upper pilot
#

Yes

#

List of structs

#

I still cant make ref work even with regular for loop. A non-ref returning property or indexer may not be used as an out or ref value

#

Guess I will just pass an index

fervent furnace
#

The indexer will return the struct and you are modifying the return value with ref, you have to assign it back to the list

upper pilot
#

How do I do that?

#

I tried returning a value and assigning it

#

the error sends me to the page which tells me to not use ref.

fervent furnace
#

Yes, change the method so that it returns a modified struct and assign it back to the list

leaden ice
upper pilot
# 
        MyMethod(ref P);   // CS0206  
        // try the following line instead  
        // MyMethod(P);   // CS0206
# 
    private UnitSpawnData HandleUnitSpawn(ref UnitSpawnData unitSpawnData)
    {
       //modifying the struct code
        return unitSpawnData;
    }

like this?

# 
for(int i = 0; i < currentGameLevelUnitList.Count; i++)
{
    currentGameLevelUnitList[i] = HandleUnitSpawn(ref currentGameLevelUnitList[i]);
}
leaden ice
#

no

#

you would either do the return and assign

#

OR ref

#

not both

fervent furnace
#

no ref

upper pilot
#

ref by itself doesnt work

#

Can I do it with ref somehow without returning anything?

leaden ice
#

that's not an actual variable

#

the list getter is already returning a copy

#

basically if you want to get this thing into the list you're going to have to do some assignment back into the list

upper pilot
#

But isn't currentGameLevelUnitList[i] of type UnitSpawnData which is a struct?

#

oh

leaden ice
#

it is but it's also the indexer getter for a list

#

it's like myList.GetElement(i)

upper pilot
#

so the List makes a copy so there is no reference.

leaden ice
#

it's a method

#

yes the list getter is already making a copy

upper pilot
#

So its not possible to do ref on a List<struct>

leaden ice
#

no

#

you could pass the list itself in and an index

upper pilot
#

ok that makes sense now, thanks 😄

leaden ice
#

that's a type of reference sorta

upper pilot
#

Got it

#

That solves the problem why it didnt want to work.

leaden ice
# 
for(int i = 0; i < currentGameLevelUnitList.Count; i++)
{
    currentGameLevelUnitList[i] = HandleUnitSpawn(currentGameLevelUnitList[i]);
}``` but something like this is good
#

with return

upper pilot
#

yep doing that now and testing.

leaden ice
#

another option would be:

for(int i = 0; i < currentGameLevelUnitList.Count; i++)
{
    var unitSpawn = currentGameLevelUnitList[i];
    HandleUnitSpawn(ref unitSpawn);
    currentGameLevelUnitList[i] = unitSpawn
}```
#

but that's... kinda verbose

fervent furnace
#

Or use unsafe list

upper pilot
#

It works with return, idk what an unsafe list is, but it doesnt sound safe.

leaden ice
#

Yeah with unsafe you could get a reference to the actual list element

#

but it's not really worth it unless you need to micro-optimize

upper pilot
#

I assume its called unsafe for a good reason tho?

leaden ice
#

indeed

upper pilot
#

got it yeah I dont need that

Hello
Please help

#

I have been stuck on this for a week and have no clue what to do but basically

#

I’m making a 2D platformer and I want my enemy to constantly chase the player whilst touching the ground (not randomly floating in the air when the player jumps).

#

I tried making an “isgrounded” bool which works fine except the platformer has slopes, so when the enemy reaches a slope the “isgrounded” bool just kinda glitches and nothing happens

leaden ice
stone scaffold
#

How would I build a character controller ?

leaden ice
#

Once you have one you like - you basically replace the input handling code with a script that feeds input to it automatically

# 
[SerializeField] private List<SpawnerSO> gameLevels = new();

private List<UnitSpawnData> currentGameLevelUnitList = new();
private int currentLevel = 0;
private void Awake()
{
   currentGameLevelUnitList = gameLevels[currentLevel].unitListPerGameLevel;
}

I expected this code to make a copy of a List<struct>, do I need to copy each struct manually to the new list?(Currently it works as a reference instead)
Guess that does make sense...List is a reference.

night harness
upper pilot
#

Not sure, I already started with a struct.

#

It's used together with SO.

stone scaffold
# pure cliff What's your "IsGrounded" logic atm?

I check to see if the enemy is grounded, if it is, I use the MoveTowards function to go to the player. However when the player climbs up a slope, the enemy just goes at a very slow speed and the “isgrounded” bool keeps checking and unchecking.

It is because the move towards function would allow the enemy to float through the air however it can’t do that if it is grounded

That's the high level concept

lean sail
#

thats if you want your AI to move exactly like a player could

stone scaffold
#

So how would I make my enemy AI remain on the ground while the player jumps if the plan is for the AI to move like the player could

lean sail
stone scaffold
#

Ok well basically the plan is for the AI to constantly follow the player

#

So the AIs movements depend on the players inputs

pure cliff
lean sail
stone scaffold
#

Yh sorry that’s what I meant

#

When the player jumps, it’s position also changes in the y direction obviously, the AIs shouldnt change but it does

#

How do I make it so it stays on the ground

lean sail
#

You would probably want some state machine or just extra logic so the input isnt something like "if player is above me then jump" because that'll quickly break. It should be like if player is above me then find a route going upwards, if I need to jump up to an area then jump

#

Although this is just high level, implementing this properly is quite difficult

i have a script that im trying to make a IK procedural hand placement so if the player moves towards a wall the hand will attatch to it, and currently it works good but theres one problem i cant figure out that involves this line:

```Quaternion rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(-hit.normal , hand.up);```

when the hand moves to the wall it never rotates flat with the normals it always is at an angle with the raycast but i want it to be flat against the wall as seen in this picture i would love a smart person to help me out

the raycast u can see is from the hand to the hit.point

whats wrong with the lerp

hexed gulch
#

so like this:? target.position = Vector3.Lerp(target.position, hit.point , 1 - Mathf.Pow(_armMoveSpeed, Time.deltaTime));

somber nacelle
#

if you go back to your previous parameters and just swap to MoveTowards instead of Lerp it would be correct

hexed gulch
#

ok

lean sail
#

although I dont think the lerp is the entire issue because you'll still get close to the desired position/angle. You can add a visualization to the IK targets by clicking on it and something should pop up in your scene. Maybe the rotation/placement is slightly off from what you expect

hexed gulch

but even if i didnt move and the lerp is running forever it would still get there?

yea the rotation is off

the position is fine

#

There could be less boilerplate when making a new thing, including the creation of the object itself. But 🤷 there's benefits and drawbacks. I think you should just forge ahead with something until it actively starts causing a pain point, carefully asses whether something different would help and not hurt, and decide whether porting the data to that new format is worth the time vs the pain you feel

#

and that's how I make every decision, ever forging forward into a sea of eventual regret

Sorry, could you please elaborate? Don't understand entirely

So your SO can hold read only data and your POCO can hold reference to that SO data + dynamic writable data

At that point why not yoink off all the SO data and put it into the POCO? Just static vs dynamic methodology?

how is that the problem? that sounds like the solution

#

incrementing would mean they arent overwriting each other, setting would mean the devices overwrite each other and playing on 2 doesnt matter. itd only matter if one got better progression due to rng or something

makes sense

the last one is arguably less readable than the previous one, but I'd prefer it with some comments to go along with

but best I could do with this variable setup

stable osprey

that is extremely clean

tired elk

But most clean would be to call HandleMovement() and hide everything in this dark methods hidden somewhere in a dll

#

yeah compactness has to go with comments otherwise it's just nonsense

warm aspen
#

What's the benefit of compactness? I think being more descriptive makes more sense

swift falcon
#

Same lol^^

#

But its really just a style. Its up to the team to set what the guidelines on coding styles or syntax is

stable osprey
swift falcon
#

I really hate abbreviated variable names and the var keyword but some ppl like it and as long everyone understands what ur codingsadok

warm aspen
stable osprey
#

as long as you can edit your code's logic without adjusting multiple lines it's fine.
Having that part be easy to navigate to is a must (nice method/var names or comments), having the algorithm be readable is a bonus 😛

swift falcon
#

I really really find that 90% of the time theres no need for comments

#

If u HAVE to comment then consider refactoring ur code because in the case of unitys c# it should be self explantory

warm aspen
swift falcon
#

Thats true

#

Hence why i prefer descriptive lol

warm aspen
#

And if you're going to go with compact and then add comments, that kinda negates the compactness

swift falcon
#

Thats true as well, but again it depends upon the agreed rules a team sets

lean sail
swift falcon
#

I worked with a programmed who had a comment on every function and above every class and it got old very fast lol

stable osprey
#

I would approve both these tbh if I had to code review.

image.png image.png
#

well, tbh I would request review to refactor the multiple variables 😛 >Refactor and turn what's not needed into properties

swift falcon
#

Well if compactness effects performance (Linq) then i would make a arguement against it

stable osprey
#

but less code makes it easier to see that there's a flaw -- so better chances to see bad architecture and prevent it

lean sail
#

I would not accept the 2nd honestly

stable osprey
#

after refactoring properly, the 2nd version would look just chefkiss

swift falcon
#

I would hate the second as well lmao

lean sail
#

I wasnt comparing the first, the 2nd is just not readable. Nested ternaries suck ass to read

warm aspen
swift falcon
#

Agreed^

stable osprey
#

not being pleasant to the eye just provokes stricter judgement

warm aspen
#

Ok

lean sail
#

Theres a certain point where I'd just look at something and tell them to rewrite it in an understandable way, what you've shown is 1 case

stable osprey
#

so yeah more chances to just think wtf this looks like shit.. why are there so many boolean variables?

swift falcon
#

Maintainablity should be above all else

#

Besides performance

lean sail
#

I notice too many people care about line count

swift falcon
#

Noone wants maintain something thats really hard to read(thats why were c# programmers and not , c , c++ , rust)catjam

stable osprey

I'd argue that it's easier to maintain if it's 1 line of simple code 😆 But I get what you're saying :p

hi, so I'm trying to sort the game objects based on the created date time like this


DateTime GetCreationTime(BaseChatItemNew chatItem)
{
    DateTime date;
    if (DateTime.TryParseExact(chatItem.CreateTime, "yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, DateTimeStyles.AdjustToUniversal, out date))
    {
        return date;
    }

    return DateTime.MinValue; // Return a default value if the script is not attached
}

foreach (BaseChatItemNew child in ChatItems)
{
    var display = child.transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(1).GetChild(0).GetComponent<TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI>().text;
    Debug.Log($"Ch Child 1: {child.transform.GetSiblingIndex()} | {display} | {child.CreateTime}");
}

ChatItems = ChatItems.OrderByDescending(child => GetCreationTime(child)).ToList();

// Reorder the children based on the sorted list
foreach (BaseChatItemNew child in ChatItems)
{
    child.transform.SetAsLastSibling();
}

foreach (BaseChatItemNew child in ChatItems)
{
    var display = child.transform.GetChild(0).GetChild(1).GetChild(0).GetComponent<TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI>().text;
    Debug.Log($"Ch Child 2: {child.transform.GetSiblingIndex()} | {display} | {child.CreateTime}");
}

but turned out some item didn't correctly sorted like in the pic. any suggestions on how to accurately compare the DateTime?

I think you may be confused, UGUI is Unity's standard runtime UI.
UIToolkit is editor and runtime, and is pretty complete when it comes to the editor side. Runtime... probably not recommended yet

IMGUI is the old system for both editor and way before that, runtime. Though it still has its usecases in both, it's mostly been superseded in the editor.

Generally speaking, if I'm using a scriptable object with an ArrayList<T> someList and this is being passed across several MonoBehaviours, is there any risk that when accessing that list from standard unity behaviour code / coroutines I could run in some synchronisation issues?

My understanding is that Unity runs all of its MonoBhvrs and coroutines on the main thread, so this shouldn't really be the case? But no idea if some code practices might cause a local cached version of that list to be taken in instead. Any documentation one can recommend that directly explains memory management and access wrt SO and MBs?

Okay, afaik the pivot of the third person controller is in the middle of the capsule, so it should be at least bigger then 1.
Not sure if you use the third person controller capsule, but can you check where the player.transform.position actually fires from?
You could also just https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.DrawRay.html
Debug.DrawRay(player.transform.position, -player.transform.up * 0.1f, Color.red); (haven't tested this)

For an open world top-down view, I'm thinking of doing "chunks" and "tiles". A chunk would be a 10x10 grid of tiles that takes up (no more than) one screen. Should I render 9x9 chunks at once? and delete them as they go off screen? Or should I keep more "handy" so I'm not thrashing on loading/unloading them from disk/memory?

Hi all. I've been racking my brain the last couple of days with ECS and converting my rhythm-based 4X-autobattler hybrid to it, as it would allow me to have upwards of 10k units at any one time, all reacting to the beat, etc.
After a whole lot of reading, i still can't wrap my head around how exactly i'm supposed to pass data from gameobjects to ECS.

My current setup loads a json file with point positions for the tiles on my grid (as on larger maps i have 10-160k tiles), which I'm trying to pass through a Baker by adding a DynamicBuffer component to the Entity i get when i convert the GameObject i use for initialization.
However, upon start, the InitSystem i use for creating the entities screams at me that the converted Entity i created doesn't have the DynamicBuffer component in question.

While i understand that Bakers are supposed to be used in conjunction with the editor, I still don't get what's alternative ways i have of instantiating Entities from GameObjects, or even why the DynamicBuffer component isn't loaded, when i confirmed that it gets created inside the Baker.

Any and all comments would help!

#

This is a part of the code responsible for instantiating:

ECS is more for a data oriented approach to things, it can yield better performance but has more constraints on how things hang together and how things are expressed (i.e the data types you have available)

# swift falcon Is ECS better than monobehaviour style? They say it provides "more readable" cod...

I wouldn't call it more readable, especially if you're used to the OO (mono) way of doing things.
It does offer magnitudes of performance over the MonoBehavior style of working with Unity, but you have to "know what you're doing".
As many have already written, altough it's great to start a project with a ECS/DOTS approach, it still is noticeably harder to do some basic things, and animations still aren't here if you're not comfortable with using 3rd party assets.

All in all, it could be a great performance gain for specific types of systems, but some stuff (like Audio, animation tweening, etc) are going to stay on the Mono side of things for the forseeable future (just my opinion)

oh, I meant more like, I have an object that will be instantiated on game start and I just would like a preview so I can make sure it has enough clearance to not spawn in the ground.

i'd love to stay on the Mono side of things, but 40k tiles and 40k rhythm-based units is still a lot to process, especially as i'm targeting VR, where the refresh rate (90hz at min) gives me just 11ms of processing time to work with

# steady moat You could always try to use something like a Dependency Injection framework such...

I use that for some stuff already, this was mainly to try and have some consistent things like a dialogue handler/ui, a sound manager, root camera, some other infrastructure stuff, then have all the "areas" just be more level geom with some other guff.

I did look into scene templates but that doesnt seem to act like prefabs where you can sort of inherit etc, maybe I will just make a basic infrastructure prefab and lob that in every scene.

#

Anyway turns out the scene cross linking stuff doesnt work, editor lets you do it, then at runtime blows up 😄

If I have a component of a type Wall which inherits from BuildingBase class, can I find the Wall component using GetComponent<BuildingBase>?
BuildingBase will have Interact function which will also be in a Wall class, so I will do GetComponent<BuildingBase>().Interact(); which should Ineract with a Wall right?

yes

Great, thanks.

do note that you need to actually override the Interact method in the child class and not just hide the base implementation otherwise it will use the base Interact method

i assume you probably already know that, but just throwing it out there just in case

Yeah I get the idea.
BaseBuilding class is meant to have some common behavior + some abstract(?) methods that will be overriden by inherited class.

Is there a better way to cache sprites?
I will have anywhere from 20-1000 sprites I need to pull from my resource folder, and in the future from a game updates API https Request that will store "image" to their device; and keep in memory because of this and the uncertainty of keeping 1,000 sprites in a collection I wanted to know if there's a better way than storing the Sprite in a dictionary that I'm currently doing. (Hoping there's something that already exists that I missed), Addressable won't work as I have my own modding system that handles custom data added into the game.

Each sprite is 128x128.

Dictionary<string, Sprite> spriteMap = new();
   
 public async Task<Sprite> LoadSpriteAsync(string spriteFile)
    {
        if (spriteMap.ContainsKey(spriteFile))
        {

        var spritePath = Path.Combine("sprites", spriteFile);

        while (!resourceRequest.isDone)
        {
            await Task.Yield();
        }

        if (resourceRequest.asset != null && resourceRequest.asset is Sprite loadedSprite)
        {
            spriteMap.Add(spriteFile, loadedSprite);

All that comes to mind is that you draw some Gizmos which slow down your game(so you play at low fps and character seems to move slower)

ok u know waht ima just make a consturctor for it i guess

#

but i wanted to do that method chaining coz thats the first thing that came to mind

#

thought it wouold have worked lol

somber nacelle
#

unless your defaultTroopSkin variable is static, this won't work anyway

green oyster
#

there now it should be gucci

#

well i will paly and see

#

hmm allr no worries i will check

#

hmmm god damn thats reallly annoyign, i want to initialize troop skins, with default troop skins, which are set through inspector so they public and not static,

#

so i then make some other variable that is static and set it to that, but... that also has to be initialized with some skins

#

so its like im fked, i will figure out smth tho

#

Kay i figured out some idea

#

and its to make a list of references to these variables

image.png
#

but just gotta google how to make a list of references to these vars

#

nvm apparently its not possible in c#

knotty sun
# 
new List<TroopLevel>(level1);
green oyster
#

whats this, is that a reference to level 1?

knotty sun
#

no a copy of level1

green oyster
#

oh

knotty sun
#

if you just want a reference return level1; is all you need

#

sorry my bad

new List<TroopLevel>() { level1 };

that will give you a list with a reference to level1 at index 0

green oyster
#

mhmmm

#

but so if i did troopLevelRefs[0] and edited this troop level... would it also edit "level1" variable?

knotty sun
#

yes

green oyster
#

for real?

knotty sun
#

yes

green oyster
#

dayum, well thats waht i need thanks then

knotty sun
#

you should learn up on value types and reference types

green oyster
#

oh and also

#

but if i edited Level1

#

then the level 1 reference inside of the list wouldn't get changed right

knotty sun
#

it would get changed, that is why it is called a reference

somber nacelle
green oyster
#

hmm i see, well thansk for clarifying

#

Ah the reason i confused my self, is coz sometimes i would set the non static version to static version of the same variable

somber nacelle
#

why does that need to be static?

green oyster
#

like if i set default troop skin to the public one

#

well, i dont need that anymore i will delete it since now i have my references

#

in a list, i will loop through the troop skins, and set them to default ones

# 
    private IEnumerator LoadSceneCoroutine(int sceneIndex)
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);

        AsyncOperation operation = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(sceneIndex);

        operation.allowSceneActivation = false;

        _loadingMenu.gameObject.SetActive(true);

        ProgressBar progressBar = _loadingMenu.rootVisualElement.Q<ProgressBar>();

        while (!operation.isDone)
        {
            float progress = Mathf.Clamp01(operation.progress / 0.9f);
            Debug.Log(progress);
            progressBar.value = progress;
            progressBar.title = $"Loading:{progress * 100}%";
            if (operation.progress >= 1)
                operation.allowSceneActivation = true;
            yield return null;
        }

        _loadingMenu.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }

so i have this load scene function,but the progress is always at 1 percent,even when it begans loading,debug.log only repeats 1 in the same message,any idea what i did wrong?

knotty sun
sonic stream
knotty sun
#

yes, progress will never be > 1

sonic stream
#

i mean yeah,that probably saved some milisecs

#

so thanks i guess

knotty sun
#

show the inspector for progressbar

sonic stream
#

cuz it's not a gameobject

#

nor a component

knotty sun
#

more interested in what you set the range to be

worn stirrup
#

I just need to verify if you set your progress bar to max out at 90% so it never looks stuck at full? xD oh I thought that said (operation.progress, 0.9f) lol

sonic stream
knotty sun
#

try * 0.9f

#

1 * 0.9f = 0.9

sonic stream
knotty sun
#

which is 80% on your progress bar
