Hi, I have never understood how extensions work. I have written a function that takes a gameobject as an argument. But I prefer to have it work as an extension instead of passing the gameobject as argument.

#

so I just place this and it will be an extension?

#

I don't understand extensions well

@sonic stream
allowSceneActivation = false stops progress at 0.9f
0.9f * 0.9f = 0.81f
80% in your case
so it is working as expected

You would want to round the one the user is seeing

sonic stream
knotty sun
#

'Returns f rounded to the nearest integer.'

sonic stream
knotty sun
#

so why are you surprised that you get either 0 or 1 ?

sonic stream
#

anyways i still need to know why it starts at 0.9 and not at 0

#

it also keeps staying at 0.9 despite it being the point it should actually be completed

#

or 1 to be more accurate since we are dividing progress by 0.9

Fellas whats going on ehre,

image.png image.png
#

why after the code was run, it didnt set the sprite in the list

#

i is at 0

#

so before that line was ran, at 0 index, sprite is null, after its run its still null?

#

how does that make sense

sonic stream

coz ingame, the sprite isn't set either

its stil null, and idk why

I'm trying to write a scalable system for playing footstep audio. What I'd like to accomplish is having Unity play the correct array of sounds when walking upon a matching surface (eg. walking on stone plays stone footstep audio, water plays water footsteps etc.) The issue I'm running into regards finding the proper way of matching the "hit.collider.tag's" output string to a corresponding array with the same name. Obviously, you can't use a string as an input to an array so is there a good way to use the correct array when the "hit.collider.tag's" output matches the string within the "FootStepSounds" class?

somber nacelle
#

you could use a Dictionary where the key is the tag string

#

or you can use a linq query for the stepSounds array where element.stepName == hit.collider.tag

mild osprey
green oyster
somber nacelle
mild osprey
#

nvm i misread that

#

i'll try that out

somber nacelle
#

just keep in mind that a Dictionary cannot be serialized by Unity, however you already have a convenient structure that you could turn into a Dictionary at runtime, you can loop over that array of FootStepSounds and add their arrays to the dict

green oyster
#

so its not gonna have reference to the sprite variables lol

Hello, I'm dealing with a weird issue I can't figure out and I'm not sure how to find the solution. I'm using Text Mesh Pro UI and like in my screenshot, only some of my text labels are flickering at certain points on my mobile screen.

Has someone seen this before and know how I can fix it or any ideas? Thanks

Can somebody explain how to use assembly definition assets?

A youtube video said it is a good way to speed up updating of my code by partitioning it into these assemblies, particularly the third party tools you won't be touching, but I have trouble with it. Upon creating the file in a folder and moving the Asset Store plugins into it, the editor now throws a bunch of missing references errors, which are supposed to be fixed by adding missing stuff into "assembly definition references" list... But I can't! For example it demansds "RotaryHeart" reference, but unity finds only "RotaryHeart.Editor".
Same shit happens when I try to partition the code only for my game into an assembly, thinking that if I can't cut off third party assets, fine, then I just cut off my own code then. Same thing - it demands references that I can't add to it.

What do I do?

image.png
leaden ice
thin hollow
#

Evidently, if I was able to reference it before?

leaden ice
#

Doesn't mean there was an assembly definition for it

#

Show the asmdef file

#

The thing about using asmdefs is that EVERYTHING now has to have one

#

If it didn't before, it needs one now

thin hollow
#

Ah, it explains stings

#

I guess this means that most of the asset store asset don't have this asmdef files and therefore I won't be able to use assemblies at all.

Hey this isnt rly code but still math ...

I have a general question, doing a 2D project topdown game, I want to sort the transparencies by Y axis to create the illusion of a 3D space. So I went to

Which works! BUT there is now an issue where my player becomes invisible above the midpoint Y coordinate relative to the Grid Tiling in my world ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

#

So is there a way to prioritize Z axis first above Y axis, but if they match then sort by Y axis?

#

It looks like I can use sorting layers

#

to fix this

#

but i guess my question is, is that the correct way to solve the issue?

scarlet kindle
#

also if there is a better chat for this, pls let me know sorry

#

i changed it to 0, 1, -99999 and it worked

#

by setting the grid floortiles z axis to -1

#

very funky

@oak plover There were breaking changes to the Unity plugin, & VSCode plugins in the last couple week. see this thread

#

it may be your issue, i didn't experience the symptoms you mentioned though but my intellisense was all messed up and project was giving like 60+ errors until I fixed the plugins

#

Also, I don't think VSCode is a "fake" IDE, I've used it in a professional setting for the last year and it's been very reliable. However, getting the right plugins and right versions is a big part of improving your experience ๐Ÿ™‚ good luck

# scarlet kindle turning on and off? like actually shutting down?

@scarlet kindle so i looked into it so when i launch my vscode by opening a script in unity it goes through the whole opening and i pul up the output and it goes through everything, my code starts out like the ide is fully set up (ide is work, errors highlighted, colors everywhere lol) but after a few seconds the setup ide now becomes like a not setup one where theres no error correction, you cant refrence anything from unity like RigidBody2D or Input.GetAxisRaw or anything, doesnt prompt it, dosent reconise it and all that but it dose do that on launch for a few seconds after it opens, see why i find this weird dw about it im heading off here anyways lol i may be on in a bit if problems still happen

    motor = GetComponent<PlayerMotor>();
    look = GetComponent<PlayerLook>();
    shoot = GetComponent<PlayerShoot>();

    onFoot.Jump.performed += ctx => motor.Jump();
    onFoot.Shoot.performed += ctx => shoot.Shoot();

It seems to cause this issue but on top of that I was wondering if this is a good way to handle shooting? Some people handle it in Update

quartz folio
#

Is there a motor and shoot component on every object that has this script?

sterile shell
#

Yes

quartz folio
#

Is this Awake function in InputManager, and if so, which line is 26?

sterile shell
quartz folio
#

Then there is no PlayerShoot component attached to this object

sterile shell
#

oh my

quartz folio
#

You can use the debugger or log after you get the components to confirm that's the case

sterile shell
#

I thought I moved that over

#

I guess this shoudlve been in beginner

quartz folio
#

Perhaps. But either way you need to understand that NREs just mean something isn't assigned, figure out what line it's talking about, which references can be null, and then making sure they're assigned before you use them

#

Troublehshooting NREs is the same steps every time

sterile shell
#

Okay understood that's good to know

#

Also my other question, is this a good way to handle shooting?

#

as opposed to Update?

quartz folio
#

It's fine afaik. Events are generally preferable because they only run when needed

sterile shell
#

Yea that was my logic as well

Okay thank you

Hello. I'm working on a dashing mechanic right now. I've got it working and up and running, but I want them to work a lil diferent.
As of now if the dash ends in terrain, I'll look for the closest point on the navmesh with navMesh.SamplePosition and make the dash target location that point instead. [4]
What I want to acomplish is that it'll pick the point closest to both navmesh and player[3][1]. I have the ability to disable the terrain ignore, but I do not want to do that since the dash might pass through multiple terrain.[3]

I've throught about checking if the distance between the sampeposition point and the player is less than the inputed position and the player, that works for disregarding the samplePosition, but it does not give me the point I want

You can add a summary above a method by typing 3 slashes in VS and itll autocomplete the summary comments for you. Then you just fill in the description

Is there a way for me to provide a System.Type and then get every type that inherits from that type? Or even just a list of every System.Type

elfin quest
#

I can't find any way to check if a given point in 3D space is positioned on a navMesh, all I an find is SamplePosition and FindClosestEdge, or on the navMeshAgent isOnNavMesh. My issue is that I want to check that without placing the navMeshAgent there at all. I could go the long route of checking if a terrain object is ocuppying that point, but I feel like that is not the best option. Thoughts?

cosmic vector
#

Is a complete guess but chances are you'd actually want a max distance of something like 0.5 or 1. Unless if you're absolutely certain you probably don't care if it is exactly on the nav mesh, but very very close to it.

quartz folio

I'd try a max distance of like 0.05 to 0.1 in that case just to account for any floating point rounding.

Okay one step away from victory I have my position, and I have my raycast and everything. My last issue is that the raycast is allways instanciated inside terrain, I need it's hit to detect the terrain bounds, but since it's inside the object it kinda goes through it. Is there any way (other than placing dummy objects as terrain bounds) for the raycast to hit from the inside?

#

I don't wana do ray marching if possible

cosmic vector
#

Could look at doing a Physics.RaycastAll and loop through the results.

#

Oh... you have the opposite problem. Is it not hitting anything at all?

elfin quest
#

Exactly. I have a solution that will solve my problem, but It's a hack basically and I'd much rather have a way to detect hits form inside the object, but I create gameobjects around the terrain, but bellow it, as a kind of perimeter, then I fire the raycast from bellow the terrain. It should hit the boundaries, but It'll be a problem if I ever want to implement terrain height variation.

#

Anyways, with that little fix it's working so I'm happy, but future me is gona have some problems xd. Thanks for the help @cosmic vector

cosmic vector
#

Glad I was able to help a little. Don't understand what you're trying to do with the ray casting enough to offer any help there.

#

Actually, there is some memory leaks, the ones I could spot are related to the closure created on:
button.onClick.AddListener(() => isPressed = true);
For each button, one closure will be created by creating the delegate () => isPressed = true;

The closure captures the variable "isPressed", you will never be able to access that variable again after PressButton() finishes, but it will still be allocated in the closure because the delegate is subscribed to button.onClick(meaning it won't be cleaned by the GC), thus you have a memory leak.

You can solve this by calling button.onClick.RemoveAllListeners();, the GC will eventually clean that delegate(and the closure associated with it).

#

If the XML correspond contains the individual size of each frame of each animation, you could try to make your own importer. Otherwise, just use the sprite tool to splice the sprite sheet.

#

Also, you might want to look if the source provides a normalized size for each sprite or each individual frame.

#

If it has each individual frame, you can create an atlas in Unity.

#

If it has normal size, you can auto slice with the sprite tool.

This is programming. That is how you solve an issue.

Because, there is no way we can help with the amount of information we have.

#

i dont even know what im supposed to be checking for

steady moat
#

Find the collider that is responsable for the collision.

stone scaffold
#

there is no other collider in the scene other than the player

steady moat
#

Then, your player is colliding with itself.

stone scaffold
#

wha-

steady moat
#

I mean, if you have no other collider, then there is no other way than that.

lean sail
#

Add useful debugs, like print the name of the object colliding with your trigger.

steady moat
#

Base on the validity of your information.

stone scaffold
#

the "is Trigger" box collider that the player should trigger is all the way on the other side of the scene, but somehow when i press play, the trigger is already active

steady moat
#

So, there is not only the player collider...

#

Also, are you sure you are triggering OnTriggerEnter2D ?

stone scaffold
#

yes

steady moat
#

Your code might just be bogus

steady moat
#

What you did to confirm that.

stone scaffold
# 
    {
        inTrigger = true;
    }```
steady moat
#

Also, log the other

#

when i use Debug.Log("Trigger"), the console says Trigger as soon as i press play

#

Log the other

#

log what?

void sundial
#

Is it possible to check in C# script what the previous scene was?

prime sinew
void sundial
#

So I can pass it on?

prime sinew
#

Yeah. It's static

#

Asking in code general I'd assume you know what static is

#

So just set the variable before you change the scene

#

At least, that's the simplest way I can think of

void sundial
#

Will try that. What I'm trying to do is if the load is from a specific scene, then load with specific variables. If it's another scene, then other variables.

#

Makes sense.

prime sinew
#

I see

void sundial
#

Like when I'm at scene1, and reload scene1, it continues with the variables I had (aka if I had 100hp and lost 10, if I reload it's 90)

prime sinew
#

Then wouldn't you just check what the current scene is before loading the next one?

void sundial
#

But the other scene is always the startup scene, so when I load scene1 from there, it's always 100hp

void sundial
prime sinew
#

The scene manager class lets you just check what scene you're in, no?

#

Or if you Google"how to get current scene"

void sundial
#

Gotcha

prime sinew
#

I thought you wanted to know what the previous scene was after you loaded a new one

#

Hence why I suggested the separate static variable

void sundial
#

I phrased it poorly then sry

I'm new to working with base and sub classes. I'm making a gun script that can handle different kinds of guns. I want to figure out how to connect any of these guns to my GunSlot script, if I had a sub class of Gun called SingleFireRifle, how would I best be able to link this to the gun slot? At start of game we start with the SingleFireRifle already in the gun slot but I want to be able to update it, something like this running from the GunSlot script if it's child is empty: gun = GetComponentInChildren<Gun>();

#

The runtime would look like: PlayerControl.cs runs GunSlot.cs Fire() method when the shoot button is pressed, if GunSlot.cs does not have a gun assigned it will look at it's child that will inherit from Gun.cs, and will then call the Shoot() method of that class, in this case SingleFireRifle.cs

#

The idea being that the player will be able to drop a weapon from the slot and pick up other weapons that all inherit from Gun.cs

#

Ok, I was basically seeing at the start if gun = GetComponentInChildren<Gun>(); if (gun == null) { Instantiate(defaultGun, Vector3.zero, Quaternion.Euler(new Vector3(0, 0, -90))); }

#

but gun doesn't seem to register as null even when the gun says empty in the public inspector (it is public Gun gun;)

#

generally games like this precedurally generate meshes to represent some number of connected blocks or a chunk or something along those lines

leaden ice
#

you should consider using a composition pattern, rather than an inheritance pattern

simple egret
#

In the interface declaration, remove the public modifier

#

And it'll work

e.g. "Shield goblin IS a Goblin and HAS a shield" rather than "Shield Goblin IS a goblin and IS a shield unit"

Create MINECRAFT in Unity - Introduction

In the Section 1 of this procedural voxel world generation Unity 2020 tutorial we will start by creating a codebase to generate the terrain using voxels. We will need to write a bit of code so instead of retyping the code copy it from github or use the end project from google drive (links below).

You have compile error?

gritty hazel
leaden ice
# gritty hazel

Is there an error at compile time?
Is there an error at runtime?
Is it not running at all?
Have you checked with log statements or the debugger?
How are you calling it?

leaden solstice
gritty hazel
#

If I do the same one, but inheriting from the class with the abstract void CheckInput() method and override the method, its works. But with interfaces I can't make it to work

#

I added a debugger after the press button, but nothing prints out in the console, so I guess I'm doing the interface wrong

leaden solstice
gritty hazel
#

In this case it is working as I'm inheriting directly from HVRInputAction and overriding the method

leaden solstice
#

If you don't call it ofc it doesn't execute

gritty hazel
leaden solstice
#

Actual call like something.CheckInput(args);

gritty hazel
#

I'm a bit lost, should I call also CheckInput(); somewhere else in the code?

leaden ice
gritty hazel

Then library is calling that method, and the library requires inheritance

You can make your classes separate MonoBehaviour and communicate between them

im trying to create an PersistentSpeed variable and i already have done so, it's making sure the vehicle speed doesnt drop instantly after releasing the drive button despite high Drag settings.
but the issue is, when I hit a tree and my velocity will go to 0 because of collision, it wont detect it and will think it should still remain at high speed
I can detect collision but i think its a wrong way to do this

gritty hazel

which creates a sort of circular dependency problem

instead, control the drag, for example

high speed lower drag

Hi, I want to generate by code a layered sprite from multiple base images, is that something that is doable in unity?

for example, think a deck of cards with suit & number. have a base card image, then layer the number & suit onto it

rigid island
scarlet kindle
#

yea that was where I've started, but i'm struggling with concept of layering images on top of each other, can you elaborate on how to do that?

rigid island
#

you would just put the placeholders of where the positions of images will be

#

then replace the image according to the Suit or type of card n whatnot

Since you know the path returned is a file, you could parse the string to the last "/", or use the Path class: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.path.getdirectoryname?view=net-7.0 - or put it in a new FileInfo and get the parent folder: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.io.fileinfo.directory?view=net-7.0 - these are all part of the System.IO namespace, and not specific to the engine/AssetDatabase

Hi guys, seeking some help here.

I've got a ScriptableObject with an enum, worked fine in 2021 LTS.
I recently upgraded to 2022 LTS and it started producing this error. Reads NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue in the latest 2022 LTS or if I have to fix something?

maybe you could make that console window wider so it's possible to read the stack trace ๐Ÿ˜›

spring summit

#

judging from what I can read of it, it doesn't look related to your ability data? looks like it's related to something else entirely

#

oh, no, it's something going on with Odin

spring summit
modern creek
#

well.. you probably need to track down where the error is.. I haven't had any issues migrating my project from 2021.3 to 2022.x but I don't use odin or enums in SOs

spring summit
#

the error is global, all of my scriptable objects with enums proc this error
I haven't even touched some of the scriptable objects for months

spring summit
modern creek
#

try making a brand new SO with only one field, an enum, and see if you get the same error

#

i can't imagine that odin or unity SOs have any problems with enums, I suspect something else is going on

#

the stack trace seems to be having issues drawing text fields, maybe? UnityEditor.EditorGUI.TextField namespace in the lines at the top

spring summit
modern creek
#

do me a favor, because i'm curious - post a screenshot of your entire unity window

#

(don't resize things)

i wonder if there's a bug in odin or something else with text fields for very small sizes?

spring summit
#

I just enlarged the inspector to the right to take up 80% of my screen
didn't solve it

modern creek
#

what about the game window?

#

maybe that tiny game window is causing issues in some component or editor validator?

spring summit
#

just shifted it to the same sector as the main game window

#

no change

modern creek
#

and what version of odin?

#

i might upgrade odin.. the stack trace seems related to editor drawing stuff

#

devout solstice
#

thats the main script

#

I believe the problem is too many for loops

spring summit
# modern creek i might upgrade odin.. the stack trace seems related to editor drawing stuff

You're not gonna believe this

#

I dont know how to fix it without rewriting the whole thing though, because the only fix i can think of is swap the struct for a bunch of dictionaries so I dont need to iterate through any list

But in order to do that Id basically just need to redo the whole thing

well unfortunately I'm not actually using a camera when I say visible

#

this is my setup

#

so my AI can find one and hide from them

Can I see if a point is hit by a light more performantly than raycasting? A light is how I'm creating the "visibility area" visual effect

trail pelican
scarlet kindle
lean sail
deep oyster
#

Uh

lean sail
#

A naive approach would be have the AI go towards the center of the closest object thats obscuring vision, on the opposite side that the white square is

lean sail
deep oyster
#

That tells me a list of objects that are near the square but that's not really helpful for what I'm trying to do. My project is to make an intelligent AI that will smartly hide from the player, and predicting where they will go, attempt to stay hidden.

leaden ice
# deep oyster this is my setup

Do you have a pathfinding algorithm or grid here? Basically just do a floodfill (BFS) and check each square with a boxcast to see if there's LOS. Keep going till you find one without LOS

lean sail
#

But for such an advanced AI yea you would need what praetor suggested

leaden ice
#

basically you will need a pathfinding algorithm for basically any approach here. YOu can also start the search with positions that are as far away from the player as possible

deep oyster
#

I have a pathfinding plugin that generates a navmesh, I'll see if I can figure out how much I can interface with the mesh itself

west pelican
#

hmmm

#

So I'm trying to use Input.GetKeyDown and Input.GetKey to make different responses between tapping a key and holding the key down

#

This is for movement controls

#

but I am struggling to come up with code that isn't 100 lines long to do this

scarlet kindle
# lean sail you may want to add debugs to see whats specifically happening, like if the coro...

hey so, I think the bug is because the Enter coroutine is still running while the Exit is starting, so they are both modifying the transform at the same time, creating unexpected behavior. Is there some way you'd suggest to keep them both in one code block, or to make one of them blocking the other? I know this is contradictory to the behavior of Coroutines, but surely there are many use cases for doing this

#

so I guess i need to stop the other one, and then set the expected size in the exit one... otherwise it will bug out

woeful spire
west pelican

#

You can achieve this effect by just turning the player towards the direction it's walking in.
If you tap you'll ever so slightly walk in a certain direction, and therefore turn no?

west pelican
#

i want the player to stay in place though. just turning in the direction. kind of like in the old school pokemon games

#

for example if you tap left, you turn to face left, but if you actually hold it down you will walk left

#

sorry if im confusing u its hard to explain lol

woeful spire
west pelican
#

someone else suggested i use Input.GetKeyDown to turn the player in the direction, and then use input.GetKey to actually move

woeful spire
#

That would result in walking even if you turn though.
Input.GetKeyDown and input.GetKey Are both active when you press down a key.
The difference is that Input.GetKeyDown only is true the first frame you press it down. It then returns to false.

#

I suggest what I previously wrote, only using input.GetKey.

modern creek
#

If I'm designing an open world system, where each chunk has some tiles (10x10 currently but probabaly 20x20 later) and there's essentially an infinite number of chunks since they're procedurally generated, should I be "moving the world" (and keeping the camera at 0) to avoid float instability later?

#

(I'm typically only going to have 9 chunks visible on screen at once)

woeful spire
#

But if you somehow end up outside, that's when you should implement it. I highly doubt it though.

leaden ice
modern creek
#

2km units? I was thinking I was going to have my transform sizes be pixel based, but ... that seems to be uncommon from digging into other example projects

#

If my transforms were pixel based than a player would easily be able to get to (2,000,000, 2,000,000) and I imagine all kinds of wonky things will happen there

Hey all, I'm having some problems with navmeshagent and root motion. I'm trying to make an enemy ai, the agent is moving the enemy but when it attacks, it switches to root motion animation for the attack (using agent.isstopped and animator.applyrootmotion to allow root motion attack). Currently though, when it attacks, sometimes the root motion works, sometimes it just attacks inplace. I've been noticing it more often remains inplace when it's within a certain distance (I've been observing about 3.5u) from the player. I've already scoured my code and don't think I'm explicitly setting anything that could cause this. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I need some help myself;
I'm making a controller in 3D, and I'm using Physics.SphereCastNonAlloc to check the ground below the player.
An issue that arises is with meshes that are stairs or other uneven surfaces. The point of the code is to be able to traverse these efficiently.
The Physics.SphereCastNonAlloc doesn't allow for multiple collisions with the same object, so when it hits a stair, it never checks the other steps.
I was thinking I could rectify this using multiple Physics.SphereCast and just iterate for every collision.
It doesn't seem to work quite well though, as I need to start inside the mesh in order to find the step.
Is there a way to start a cast within a mesh and stop only when it hits another front-face?

In the picture there's an example of the issue.
The circled point in blue is found, but the point marked by an X isn't.

Hello everyone! I am trying to determine whether or not the player's cursor is targeting any UI element on screen so that to their exclusion I can assume that the player is pointing at something in the game world that is not UI. My question is really one of best practice... anytime the user moves the mouse I perform the following using the new input system:

public void OnCursorPosition(InputAction.CallbackContext context)
    {
        switch (context.phase)
        {
            case InputActionPhase.Performed:
                UpdateScreenPosition(context.ReadValue<Vector2>());
                break;
        }
    }

    private void UpdateScreenPosition(Vector2 rawInput)
    {
        screenPosition = rawInput;
        viewportPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToViewportPoint(rawInput);
        canvasScreenPosition = GameInterfaceController.ViewportToCanvasPoint(viewportPosition);
        inWindow = !(viewportPosition.x < 0 || viewportPosition.x > 1 || viewportPosition.y < 0 || viewportPosition.y > 1);

        // Are we targeting the world!?
    }```

What I'm considering now is how I can best produce a boolean that rings true if the cursor does not intersect any UI elements.  I could certainly share more code if anyone is interested, but I'm wondering if anyone has doine this before and has any general ideas that I should consider.  Thanks so much!

Hello :D
Another problem it is... I have written this simple CharacterController where the player simply follows a GameObject, which is moved by WASD relative to the players position. It all worked like a charm until I realized, you can use small edges like in the video to build up some sort of momentun making you rotate constantly. You can undo it by walking straight into a wall, but getting rid of the core problem would be cool anyways. I put an example video and a photo of the code. Please excuse if it is messy, I had to play around a bit to end up with this and as so often, as soon as something works I donยดt touch it anymore

Is Rigidbody.MovePosition the only way to make a rigidbody copy the position of a transform I've placed in the scene? Its working perfectly in terms of following the transform but ignores collisions.

What version of xcode are you building with? Might be out of date

#

Xcode version is fine, I found something mentioning code signing maybe being an issue on an older macos version? Apple is pretty strict with versioning

#

you aren't signing it with xcode?

#

this sounds like a shady tool with instructions like 'When prompted, enter your Apple ID password. The tool uses your Apple ID to sideload the app. We recommend you use a burner account.'

#

so I'm going to guess that's your issue

mossy snow
#

If you use a public certificate provided by Esign, chances are that the certificate will get revoked quickly because Apple quickly blocks publicly used certificates. In such cases, you can only use apps until the certificate is revoked, after which you have to resign them.
The tool is designed to get around a security measure

Ok im starting to rip my hair out. I have objects that are untagged but getting in my if statement.

        if (hit.collider == c.CompareTag("Enemy") || hit.collider == c.CompareTag("Player")) {

            float edgeDist = exploderadius - dist;
            float adjustDam = (edgeDist / exploderadius) * 100;
            float finalDam = (adjustDam / 100) * maxDamage;
            if (c.CompareTag("Enemy")) c.GetComponent<Enemy>().TakeHealth(finalDam);
            else if (c.CompareTag("Player")) c.GetComponent<PlayerMovement>().TakeHealth(finalDam);

            Debug.Log("In radius: \n" + c.name + "\nDist from edge: " + edgeDist + "\nDam percent: " + adjustDam + "\nFinal Dam: " + finalDam);
            Object.Destroy(this.gameObject);
        }

What do you think is actually happening with this statement:
if (hit.collider == c.CompareTag("Enemy") || hit.collider == c.CompareTag("Player")) {
because it's wild, and I bet it's not doing what you think it's doing

opal pine
#

If the raycast hits those colliders with that tag it continues?

#

nope still doing the same

#

Thats already in there?

#

Yep. Which is what i want

#

But its allowing false to go through

#

How do I check tags without == ?

#

So how would I compare?

#

Should I just add another if statement then? might be the best way around it

mossy snow
spring creek
#

Why is TakeHealth in PlayerMovement. If it was its own component you could use the same if check for Enemy or player and get the same component from either instead of the duplicate if check

#

What even is the "col" being iterated over?

opal pine
#

Ive got the check in the update atm for testing with gizmos
private void Update() {
col = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(transform.position, exploderadius);

spring creek
#

So the raycast is a LOS check. Makes way more sense now

#

Col is a common name for a single collider, so I thought it was iterating that colliders children (which I think only works that way with transforms anyways).

fathom cobalt
# fathom cobalt Hey all, I'm having some problems with navmeshagent and root motion. I'm trying ...

So I figured out the cause was because I was trying to rotate the enemy to face the player during the root motion animation.. but I don't understand why exactly having both rotation and root animation causes the animation to play in place? Basically, I had a coroutine that smoothly rotates enemy to face the player every frame (altho using other rotation methods like transform.lookat or transform.rotate results in the same behavior). I had similar setup for the player, root motion attack animation with code for rotating the player in update based on mouse input, and that works fine. Does anyone know why rotating could conflict with animation root motion and cause this behavior in this case?

I just spent a lot of time following this tutorial https://youtu.be/9fa4uFm1eCE and I can't figure out why but the Custom Post Process Effects isn't showing up in the frame debugger.

so I have an xp bar that I am calculating the width of based on current exp and exp to next level. it works fine for level 0-1 because the width of the bar should start at 0. but when i get to level one my current exp is no longer starting at 0 so the width of my bar starts like halfway through the goal bar.. any tips on how i fix calculating the width of the xp bar?

#

my current formula for this is width = player.GetCurrentExp / player.NextLevelExp * 100

#

i have solved this before using modulus or some shit but i just can't remember

mellow sigil
# 
Mathf.InverseLerp(previousLevelExp, nextLevelExp, currentExp) * 100
cobalt ember
#

this works how my previous calculation does but doesn't reset the bar when i get to the next level; sets it to the middle

#

same thing I think

mellow sigil
#

Then the value of the first parameter is wrong

#

correct, i'm an idiot. thank you for the help brother

it freeze everytime i call it

lethal plank
#

i thought when i set it null then while loop will be stopped xd

simple egret
#

Oh and also your continue; a bit above has the effect on the while loop, not the foreach

#

In cas that's not what you wanted

lethal plank
#

is that so?

#

damn

simple egret
#

It always affects the innermost loop yeah

lethal plank
#

too many braces so i did that

lean sail
lethal plank
lean sail
#

break and continue both only affect the innermost

lethal plank
#

oh

lean sail
#

definitely just use the debugger. if att was null in every iteration, your while loop wouldnt be the issue

#

meaning the continue isnt happening anyways right now

lethal plank
#

ok lemme try

#

uhhh how can i debug it when it freezing

simple egret
#

With breakpoints

#

Attach VS to Unity and add a breakpoint in the loop. Then run the game

lethal plank
#

alright

fervent furnace
#

if none of the InventoryItemData of item.data of current att.CompatibilityItems is null or none of the item in Slots[i].data.Attachment==Slots[j].AttachmentType then it runs forever
and i wonder why you can reassign att during foreach loop
i dont even understand what you are trying to do

i suggest debugger because i also have no clue what this code is trying to do ๐Ÿ˜…

lethal plank
#

it kinda complex to explain tho

simple egret
#

Looks like it's trying to find all compatible attachments for a weapon

lethal plank
#

i use while loop because some attachment had slots so i use while to repeat it until it that attactment have no slot

simple egret
#

Or whatever has things that can be attached

lethal plank
#

this is random attachments

#

im trying to mimic Escape From Tarkov attachment system

there probably is a way to simplify this, but without knowing more of the system its hard to say

i move objects mean datas transfered to another place
its no longer belong to that parent

#

and so on

lethal plank
lean sail
#

that is a part of u attach the debugger

lethal plank
#

ok lemme freak around

#

And find out

night harness
simple egret
#

What?

night harness
#

like

#

is there any weird magic if i really wanted it

simple egret
#

No weird magic possible here

#

The value is passed when the event is invoked. It is not stored anywhere persistently afterwards

#

Seems like you're trying to use an event as something it isn't designed to do

night harness
#

where does Unity store it

simple egret
#

It does not

#

Invoke calls all handlers immediately, passing the value as the argument

#

It does this, essentially:

void Invoke(T value) {
  foreach (var handler in handlers)
    handler(value);
}

value being the value you pass to Invoke, that your subscribed methods will receive

#

And handlers being the list of subscribed methods, however they're stored

night harness
#

but for like a inspector UnityEvent, it stores the parameter value somewhere right

image.png
simple egret
#

I don't know how the Inspector does it

#

But it's not in the event itself, it's serialized somewhere and the asset is resolved each time it is invoked

#

Stores an ID that points to your asset, essentially

#

All that is open source btw, you can check that out for yourself

night harness
#

Not to be an anti googling dumbass, where would i look for that open source sauce?

So I want to give the player the ability to place stuff in the world. The script for that seems simple enough: raycast to know where the player is pointing to, then instantiate a prefab. The thing is, this seems it would take a toll on performance, specially if the player tries to build a bunch of stuff in a short amout of time (let's say building a wall by dragging the mouse button, placing a bunch of wall objects in one second). Is this the correct approach? Is there a better one?

How can I set a float3 for all the cells of a "3d" Array using compute shaders? I have a 64 * 64 * 64 cells array, in which I want to store some positions, and I want it to represent a 3d array. I've set numthreads to (8, 8, 8), and I call Dispatch(id, 8, 8, 8), so I know there should be 64 * 64 * 64 threads. I think SV_GroupIndex helps accessing all the array cells, but setting the positions to be the index given by SV_DispatchThreasID gives random values, with many overlapping or equals to 0. What should I do?

i am having a weird problem that is facing me with my jump code

#

so i dont want the player to double jump so i made the isGrounded bool variable and played with it in a way in a 2d game that stopped the double jumping

#

but now i wrote the same code in 3d game and it bugs

#

it waits for the player to touch the ground and jumps again on its own

#

i even tried using the Physics.overlapsphere

#

and it does the same thing but the jump looks funny now

# 
    void PlayerJump()
    {
        if(Physics.OverlapSphere(GroundChecker.position, 0.1f).Length == 1)
        {
            return;
        }

        if (jump)
        {
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * 5, ForceMode.VelocityChange);
            jump = false;
            Debug.Log("Jumping!");

        }
    }
#

here is the code

#

when i double press spacebar even though i pressed the 2nd time while the player is in air. once the player hits the ground it prints "Jumping" in the console. which means he jumped

cosmic vector
#

Toss a jump = false in that first if

#

It looks like you are probably setting the jump bool to true when the player hits the key. And are just calling this check in update. You should really just be calling the method when they press the key and not have the bool. By having the bool youโ€™re allowing the player to essentially queue up a jump that will be done the next time they hit the ground.

visual estuary
#

is it okay for me to call the jump function in Update ?

#

and just multiply the force by Time.deltatime to even it out

# 
 void Update()
    {
        horizontalInput = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
            PlayerJump();
    }
 void PlayerJump()
    {
       if(Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && isGrounded)
        {
            isGrounded = false;
            rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * 5, ForceMode.Impulse);
        }
    }
    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        if (collision.collider.CompareTag("ground"))
            isGrounded = true;
    }

do this i meant

#

cuz this seem to work and fixed my issue

light rock
#

never multiply one-time forces by time.deltaTime

#

you only need to account for time.deltaTime when youโ€™re applying a force consecutively in the Update loop

I've got two 2D objects: One with a bounciness which is set to zero, and one with a bounciness which is not zero.
The object with a bounciness of zero is set that way so that it never bounces. Unity by default uses the maximum of two bounciness values, and so if it hits an object with a bounciness which isn't zero, it will bounce.
I need it to not do that.
Surely, this absolutely trivial problem, which the underlying physics engine has an in-built solution to, must have a similarly trivial solution?
Somewhere?

If you can't use it in-situ, you've gotta cache it.

leaden ice
#

Having two functions in a class is not inherently messy so idk what to say

rigid island
visual estuary
# noble quest It's a value you need to store, so keep it as a variable in your class.

yeah for example if i get the Input.GetButtonDown"Jump" as input in update then how will i condition it in the function ? with a boolean ofc so i have to make a boolean variable and use that in the function that is called by fixedupdate. you see how i tried that up there and it made the double jumping bug but when i just disregarded all of that and called it in update it worked fine. better even and didnt need as many boolean variables

light rock
spring creek
#

Look at the calculations

leaden ice
# visual estuary yeah for example if i get the Input.GetButtonDown"Jump" as input in update then ...

it's simple:

bool jumpRequested = false;

void Update() {
  if (Input.GetKeyDown("Jump") && isGrounded) {
    jumpRequested = true;
  }
}

void FixedUpdate() {
  if (jumpRequested) {
    jumpRequested = false;
    isGrounded = false;
    rb.AddForce(Vector3.up * 5, ForceMode.Impulse);
  }
}```
now to be fair since this is a "one-off" force you can get away with doing it in Update but in general physics needs to be in FixedUpdate so it's a good habit to get into.
noble quest
#

AddForce does, in fact, have a mode for continuous force addition, which does not require a timestep.

spring creek
#

Force is already scaled by deltaTime
Accelleration is too
Impulse is time independant
VelocityChange works on velocity which is in meters per second

โ€œThe effects of the forces applied with this function are accumulated at the time of the call. โ€œ

#

not applied continuously

visual estuary
#

as in just 1 force directing upward ?

leaden ice
#

it happens ONE time

#

no

#

as in it only gets applied once rather than over time

visual estuary
#

yes

#

okay

leaden ice
#

a rocket engine is a "continuous" force

#

that gets applied over time

#

make sense?

visual estuary
#

yes thank you

Me, though, I pretty much never use AddForce. Forces are subject to differences in mass, when usually what I want to control is acceleration, so I use rb.velocity.

what does rb.velocity acc do

leaden ice
#

and ForceMode.VelocityChange
They both ignore mass

i see

#

what about forcemode.velocitychange ? does it control the velocity directly ?

That's why you make relative changes.

#

I like to combine it with Vector2.MoveTowards

spring creek
#

Fair enough. I hate setting velocity. It feels so sterile

light rock
#

depends on the kind of game you wanna make

noble quest
#

Rocket engineers like sterile environments.

light rock
#

setting velocity is very helpful for character controllers

spring creek

#

This is what my current project's horizontal acceleration looks like.

#

Note the insanity of a true switch expression.

i think most of the summary comments are unecessary lol

Probably.

My guess is you put the script on the wrong object and/or assigned the wrong object in the inspector, if you're using one of the typical tutorial scripts.

#

Code is only part of the equation

#

YOu need to set things up in the scene properly as well @lofty willow

lofty willow
#

i did

leaden ice
#

prove it

lofty willow
#

idk how to

leaden ice
#

show us what you did and explain why you think it's correct

lofty willow
#

i dont think its correct

#

thats why im asking for help

leaden ice
#

you just said you think you set it up properly

leaden ice
#

we can't help without seeing things

Hello, why does void return type method work and IEnumerable<TResult> doesn't?
They both do the same, coroutine just returns results.
https://www.nombin.dev/vurxpvjrra

#

and yes, I cannot debug them

leaden ice
#

the first one is an iterator method

#

the second one is a regular method

gray mural
gray mural
leaden ice
#

Read this^

gray mural
leaden ice
#

it won't actually execute

#

you would need to do something like:

IEnumerable<LevelInfo> enumerator = levelsSelectionField.transform.OrderChildren<LevelInfo, LevelDiff>(c => c.levelData.levelDiff);
foreach (LevelInfo li in enumerator) {
   // do something
}```
#

that's the magic of iterator methods

#

they execute as you iterate over them

#

that's the secret sauce Unity uses to build coroutines but these are not coroutines

gray mural
#

but it doesn't make sense if this is done in an iterator already?

children.ElementAt(i).transform.SetSiblingIndex(i);

yield return children.ElementAt(i);
#

so it will be more wise to return a list instead?

leaden ice
#

for what purpsoe

#

it depends what you're doing with it

gray mural
#

I see, but that's just strange that it doesn't execute a method

leaden ice
#

that's how iterators work

#

if you don't like it or understand it, don't use it

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

gray mural
leaden ice
#

i don't see how it would make sense to use an iterator for that

#

so I wouldn't use one

gray mural

thank you for your help ๐Ÿ˜„

This is a pretty basic question. I have an asset that is a templated object of type Card (linked by the Card class script) how would I create this by code?

sage latch
#

Is this what you want?

scarlet kindle
#

I believe so, let me try that out

rigid island
scarlet kindle
#

Yea that's sorta what i'm doing. I did follow the tutorial that made the card Class of type ScriptableObject so it should work. I'm working on the deck GameObject which will contain the script to generate the cards on Start() etc

#

let me test that out ๐Ÿ™‚ ty!
