Or show you where in code.

#

Nope, Nothing happens. The only thing is if I double click the log, it opens the script. Otherwise nothing is really highlighted

#

dusk apex

#

Pause the editor during runtime and click the log.

#

I'm assuming you're instantiating objects during runtime and that they do not exist outside of playing the application.

#

use /* to start commenting out script with error, and */ to end comment.
this way the editor can compile and you can configure your IDE properly .

Also this belongs in #💻┃code-beginner as you seem to be missing c# fundamenetals

frail dust
dusk apex
#

If the object hasn't been destroyed, it should be highlighted yellow in the scene when the log is selected.

#

Or a prefab would be highlighted yellow if the script was called from a prefab.

frail dust
dusk apex
#

So you're referring to two different objects then.

frail dust
dusk apex
#

I'm going to assume that your bool is from two different objects and that the one you're setting to true isn't the one being checked.

#

Otherwise, you've set it back to false sometime before checking the value.

frail dust
#

there are 5-6 objects using my same script. Out of which some are just Road/lanes itself. The Other one is the PickupObject, and the Spawner GameObject in the heirarchy

#

how do I check static flags of a gameobject? There seems to be only this bool, but there are multiple flags, I expected an enum.

Note that they're editor-only

dusk apex
frail dust
dusk apex
#

But ultimately, I was trying to figure out if the bool you're checking is the same as the one you've set to true.

frail dust
dusk apex
#

And they aren't because both components aren't in the scene anymore.

frail dust
dusk apex
frail dust
#

so what should I approach now

dusk apex
#

If you create 3 lanes, each lane will have their own component scripts that are attached to themselves.

frail dust
#

yes

dusk apex
#

Have someone else manage the data 🤷‍♂️

frail dust
#

as in?

#

im solo bro haha

dusk apex
#

When you instantiate them, you can provide them the reference to that other objectcs var lane = Instantiate(...); lane.manager = manager;``````cs if(manager.laneCount > 1) { ... }``````cs if(manager.laneIsMoving) { ... }They would all be referring to the manager's data (assuming lane count and lane is moving should be managed as one instance only)

dusk apex

In the beginning:
public LaneManager lane;

{
lane = GetComponent<LaneManager>();
}

I'm hanging during build on this. how do you check what it was doing when it stopped?

image.png
frail dust
dusk apex
#

This implies that every object has their own "manager" and that none of these "manager"s are likely referring to each other.

frail dust
dusk apex
#

So if object A sets his managers bool to true and object B asks his manager if they've set the bool to true, the answer would be no (false) because they've both got different managers.

frail dust
dusk apex
#

GetComponent implies that this manager is on this object - the object that has been destroyed.

frail dust
#

yes

dusk apex
#

Consider having the manager elsewhere and assigning this object's reference to the manager when it's instantiatedcs var consumable = Instantiate(...) consumable.manager = manager;

frail dust
#

Like attaching it to a gameObject in hierarchy right?

dusk apex
frail dust
#

it already is

dusk apex
#

When the objects are spawned, tell the object who the manager is.

frail dust
#

how do i tell them that which reference is the actual manager

dusk apex
frail dust
#

its on both

#

the object which is destroyed is a prefab

dusk apex
# frail dust its on both

It shouldn't be on the object that's destroyed. And they're instances of a prefab, not the actual prefab.

frail dust
#

i see

dusk apex
frail dust
frail dust
dusk apex
frail dust
#

yeah

dusk apex
#

In your case, I'm assuming you're wanting to share the bool between the lanes.

frail dust
#

yes

#

so they know if they can move

#

only after instantiating

dusk apex
#

Yeah, so have the component/script that's holding the bool not be on them but be shared to them.

frail dust
#

My coding is very redundant

dusk apex
frail dust
#

reference should be included in the Object's script or the LaneManager

dusk apex
#

I think you've already got a lane variable in pickup manager.

frail dust
#

Yes thats the reference

#

of LaneManager

dusk apex
#

You just need to assign the manager to that when you spawn the object with the pickup manager component.

dusk apex
frail dust
#

oh

#

so instead of putting the reference in the start

#

i should reference it the line where it instantiates?

dusk apex
#

The component isn't the same component that all the other pickup managers have.

frail dust
#

I see

#

I have another script

#

PickupSpawner

#

Which only instantiates them

#

doesnt manage collision

dusk apex
# 
        if (colliders.Length == 0)
        {
            int randomObject = Random.Range(0, pickupPrefab.Length);
            var pickup = Instantiate(pickupPrefab[randomObject], spawnPosition, Quaternion.identity);
            pickup.lane = laneComponentThatShouldBeOnThisObjectOrAnother;
        }```
#

Where you'd remove the lane assignment in the Start method of the pickup manager (it's not really a manager of all pickups but just one single pickup instance)

#

Where laneComponentThatShouldBeOnThisObjectOrAnother would be a component on this object or some other object that persists.

#

That would be shared by reference to each and every instantiated new object with the pickup component.

#

You'd only be able to access pickupPrefab's lane field if you've referenced the game object by it's component.cs public PickupManager[] pickupPrefab;

#

The reference laneComponentThatShouldBeOnThisObjectOrAnother would be either assigned through the inspector, get component or given to it like how it's passing the data to the instantiated objects - referencing through the inspector is preferred.

Is it technically possible to run .NET 8 code by compiling it into a NativeAOT library and then P/Invoke into the library?

cosmic rain
#

If it's a native library, what's the point? It's probably gonna get compiled into the same thing anyway

wheat cargo
cosmic rain
#

But it's all just syntactic sugar. Are you going to write the whole project as a library or something?

wheat cargo
#

And it's not just syntactic sugar right? .NET 8 code will run faster, since the .NET team has been heavily focused on performance the past several years

#

The only downside I see, is that it has to be compiled for every architecture and most likely won't work on every platform

#

I think it should work on Windows though

Is there a way I can make a variable but allow it to be modified by sources outside of its class?

basically I have an inventory class that holds the information about it but these classes are in two different assemblies

It won't compile the whole runtime, it trims what it does not use

It even will have its own garbage collector

To Unity, it has no idea it is even calling "C# code"

dusk apex
# frail dust whats the `lane` field

Your field that would increase count and whatnot. You wouldn't want it to be destroyed with the spawned object so have it on a different object and just pass/assign a reference to it when you spawn the objects that can be destroyed.

Also, as I said previous it does actually impose many limitations. It doesn't create a runtime environment, it compiles to native code.

Native AOT apps have the following limitations:

No dynamic loading, for example, Assembly.LoadFile.
No run-time code generation, for example, System.Reflection.Emit.
No C++/CLI.
Windows: No built-in COM.
Requires trimming, which has limitations.
Implies compilation into a single file, which has known incompatibilities.
Apps include required runtime libraries (just like self-contained apps, increasing their size as compared to framework-dependent apps).
System.Linq.Expressions always use their interpreted form, which is slower than run-time generated compiled code.
Not all the runtime libraries are fully annotated to be Native AOT compatible. That is, some warnings in the runtime libraries aren't actionable by end developers.

This is the kicker

This is what I have atm

                            _inventory.ModifyInventory(ItemType.Ammo, interactable.GetValue());
                            _gunHandler.TotalAmmo = _inventory.Ammo;
                            break;```

You also don't need the lambda that wraps the method. This works:

_gunHandler.OnTakeAmmo += _inventory.TakeAmmo;

#

PlayerMaster

cosmic rain
#

So a third assembly?

jagged snow
cosmic rain
#

Just curious, but what are you trying to achieve by splitting your code base into so many assemblies?

jagged snow
#

The thing is it's not a one way variable. When the gunHandler reloads it needs to modify the AmmoCount too

jagged snow
wheat cargo
cosmic rain
wheat cargo
#

Yeah unless your project starts to get large, splitting into assemblies isn't really worth it

jagged snow
cosmic rain
#

I see

jagged snow
#

I think what I need to do is actually create a struct containing the data, and as the values get modified

#

Both sides know the value

#

Maybe a class

#

No events will be needed this way

cosmic rain
#

You'd need some commonality between the assemblies. If each define their own data structure, I feel like they're gonna collide.

jagged snow
#

The concern is that if I go with the common class PlayerStats

#

theres alot of info on there that GunHandler doesnt need such as Health,Movespeed etc

#

should I be concerned about that?

#

Its a cheap way to sharea variable without having to set up events though

cosmic rain
#

Like GunInfo

jagged snow
#

Should I make it a struct?

wheat cargo
#

Probably makes more sense to be a class tbh

jagged snow
#

ill give it a shot thanks

# cosmic rain Also, as I said previous it does actually impose many limitations. It doesn't cr...

Sorry I missed this message earlier. Yes it does impose many limitations, but it could be beneficial for use cases inside of those limitations.

I could be wrong with how I was wording it, but what I meant is this:

Let's say there have been substantial improvements with http requests and the List class since .NET Standard 2.1

And I have a method that makes a HTTP request and processes the data. If I move that code into a .NET 8 NativeAOT library, then when Unity calls the method natively, it benefits from all the improvements made to http requests and the List class since .NET Standard 2.1.

Hello, in NavMesh.CalculatePath() and NavMesh.SamplePosition() there are area bitmask parameter. What is that?
The example use NavMesh.AllAreas but what does that mean? I can't find info about this.

I'm using NavMeshSurface to generate my navmesh, is there a way to use specific NavMeshSurface?

Also I don't know what's up with the docs with that page, some versions have it, some don't

Heya, so I'm trying to implement dynamic LOD for GPU instanciated objects (grass blades). I opened my original lod0 grass blade and just removed a few vertices for each of them in blender (Note by all means I am useless at blender). I imported them and set em all up but I'm having this weird issue during my shader animation. Bit counter intuitive but left to right is lod5 -> lod0. Thanks very much all!

Hi all. I'm implementing a custom render pass, drawing objects to a seperate render texture using an orthographic box around the camera, however, there seems to be some issues with the ortho matrix where it seems the near plane is set at a distance of zero from the camera, rather than extending backwards like I want. I'm sure unity allows a negative near plane for ortho matrices, but for some reason it seems to either be clamped at zero for me. Heres a code snippet where the view/projection mats are created alongside the culling if that helps: ```//Create view and projection matricies
float size = voxelSceneSize * 0.5f;
Matrix4x4 viewScene = Matrix4x4.Translate(camData.camera.transform.position);
Matrix4x4 projectionScene = Matrix4x4.Ortho(-size, size, -size, size, -size, size);

        ScriptableCullingParameters cullParams;
        if (camData.camera.TryGetCullingParameters(out cullParams))
        {
            cullParams.cullingMatrix = projectionScene * viewScene;
            cullParams.isOrthographic = true;
            cullParams.cullingOptions = CullingOptions.None;

            //Set culling planes
            Plane[] planes = GeometryUtility.CalculateFrustumPlanes(cullParams.cullingMatrix);
            for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++)
            {
                cullParams.SetCullingPlane(i, planes[i]);
            }
            
            CullingResults cullResults = context.Cull(ref cullParams);```
#

Additionally, heres a short clip. The green box around the camera shows the desired ortho box, but in the output texture its clear that the cubes are clipping right at the camera rather than the back of the box:

#

I'm setting the near plane to -size in: Matrix4x4.Ortho(-size, size, -size, size, -size, size) but it behaves as if its set to zero

#

Thanks in advance

How can I draw a rectangle from a point and normal?
As you can see in the image, the following code doesn't create the rectangle with the correct orientation 😦

Quaternion quaternion = Quaternion.LookRotation(new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f), normal);
Vector3 right = quaternion * new Vector3(size, 0.0f, 0.0f);
Vector3 forward = quaternion * new Vector3(0.0f, 0.0f, size);

Vector3 a = right * 0.5f;
Vector3 b = forward * 0.5f;

Vector3 upRight = point + a + b;
Vector3 upLeft = point - a + b;
Vector3 downLeft = point - a - b;
Vector3 downRight = point + a - b;

Hey, I'm doing a 3D golf game, and I'm trying to recreate the curved ball effect when hit by the club. I pretty much have everything set up, I hit the ball, the ball flies, spins, and curves based on the spin strength. Nice. What I am missing is how to detect if the ball was hit inside-out or outside-in, so I know if it should spin clockwise or counter-clockwise.

#

I need to check the angle between what, direction of the club movement, and...? The ball is stationary so I can't use its position

#

and I can stand anywhere around the ball, even shoot backwards

Hello everyone, I have a code that when I collide with player that is driver and he drives a car, the other player will be transported on top of that car and he will ride on it and when he wants to get down, he clicks "I" and get teleported down but for some reason when I press "I" it doesnt do anything.

All your movement and rotation is done via transform which does not respect physics. Switch to Rigidbody only

knotty sun

yep, if you want physics collisions

hard viper
#

moving transform is a hard teleport. It will go there if you tell it to, even if that puts a box in a wall.

#

and the box will only realize it needs to move during physics simulation step, which can produce strange results.

if I load all SceneAssets (only them, not Scene object themselves) into some sort of LevelManager at initialization stage of the game and after that I'll load them as Scene object by some key or so (to avoid strings or ints to load them) - is it bad idea to do it that way?
I'm loading them by Addressables, if it matters

How can I prevent my npc character controller from moving on top of my player charactercontroller, when the player stands in the npc's way? (I will eventually add specific movement reacting to the player, but I feel like there's something wrong with the capsules, I have the npcs randomly roaming around and they will hop on top of stuff occasionally (even though their step offset is set to 0.1)
center, radius, height are (2.3, 2.3, 2.4) and my player controller is (0.8, 0.3, 1.6)

#

( to allow them moving down slopes I the np'c move with : _controller.Move(Time.deltaTime * (direction + 3f*Vector3.down)) but even with this additional downward move vector they will pop on top of my player if I "harass them", I'd like to make it impossible somehow)

In mobile (specifically android), we have a landscape app and the default behavior of Unity when a user taps an input field is to open a tiny floating keyboard instead of the usual, large "docked" one on the bottom of screen. There is a button to change style right on the small floating keyboard to change it back, but users are complaining. Is there some easy way in Unity to just tell it to open the standard docked version of the keyboard?

anyone have an idea as to why transform.forward isnt making the bullet go forward when a parent has negative y rot?

leaden ice
#

and which objects are referenced by it

fair mural
#

@warm cobalt ^^^

leaden ice
#

playerCam.transform.forward + direction < this "direction" variable is going to alter the direction from camera forward

#

is just 2 random floats basically speaking so it's not really relevant
Why do you think it's not relevant? Seems very relevant

#

Also... you're even incorporating the current facing direction of... some object?
transform.forward + transform.right * randomBloom.x + transform.up * randomBloom.y;

#

this is ... very strange to say the least

#

Btw instead of adding vectors to create random spread, the better way is to rotate the vector

#

it's more controllable/predictable/understandable/effective

fair mural
#

yeah its out of the norm

leaden ice
#

Or - i guess you mean the spread pattern on whatever you hit?

fair mural
#

yeah

leaden ice
#

Either way this calculation seems really off:
return transform.forward + transform.right * randomBloom.x + transform.up * randomBloom.y;

#

specifically - adding transform.forward .. and this isn't even the camera object right?

fair mural
#

thats what i said yesterday

leaden ice
#

Your SpawnLine function also seems off

warm cobalt
#

nevermind, fixed it.

last time when we had an issue similar to this we replaced transform.forward with playercam.transform.forward and it did nothing
so we just assumed to keep it that way.

but that was the fix in this case

fair mural
#

well, thats a question for him. i dont really do the scripting. i do visuals and design

leaden ice
#

When you call it you're passing in... I think a direciton vector?
SpawnLine(origin, playerCam.transform.forward + direction);
But then inside you're treating that like a position:
line.SetPosition(1, hit);

tawdry jasper
#

I think this SpawnLine(origin, playerCam.transform.forward + direction); should be SpawnLine(origin, origin + playerCam.transform.forward + direction) maybe?

because it is <= 4

there is nothing there that decrements coins when coins >4

I have some npc's using CharacterController and calling controller.Move(some_directionspeeddeltaTime); 1) How do I stop my npc's from climbing on top of each other if they're bunched up against each other? They have 0.1 step offset and still walk over each other. 2) why is my player character controller able to push them? (and when I do push them they clip over each other)? (This one is super weird as I have a different npc setup in almost exact same way (diffrent logic to determine the move direction) and my player character controller CAN't push that one. Would appreciate any pointers on what to look at or how to debug this.

#

Also multiple CCs can act weird because they move at different times and they probably don't see each other's new positions due to how the physics engine updates.

Ragdoll Rigidbodies sounds like a very different way than a CC.

# leaden ice Without seeing the code it's hard to say. One tip is that you need to make sure ... 
    void Update() {
        var targetRotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction, Vector3.up);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, targetRotation, 40f * Time.deltaTime);
        _speed = Mathf.Lerp(_speed, speed, 1f - _dirchange);
        _animator.SetFloat(_animIDSpeed, _speed);
        _animator.SetFloat(_animIDMotionSpeed, _speed);

        Vector3 move = transform.forward * _speed + Vector3.down * 3f;
        _controller.Move(move * Time.deltaTime);

        if (_dirchange >= 0) {
            _dirchange -= Time.deltaTime;

        } else {
            _dirchange = 1f;
            speed = Random.Range(0.2f, 0.2f);
        }
    }
#

Here's the one that works as expected (doesn't allow itself to be pushed):

    void Update() {
        direction = _stateController.player.transform.position - transform.position;
        direction.y = 0;
        direction.Normalize();

        // turn towards
        Quaternion towardsDirection = Quaternion.LookRotation(direction, Vector3.up);

        float animSpeed, speed;
        float dot = Vector3.Dot(transform.forward, direction);
        if (dot < 0.5f) {
            speed = 0.15f * Time.deltaTime;
            animSpeed = 0.2f * (dot +1f)/2f;
        } else {
            speed = dot * 2f * Time.deltaTime;
            animSpeed = ((dot < 0.8f)? 1f : 1.3f) * dot;
        }
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(transform.rotation, towardsDirection, Mathf.Max(40f, 20f * 3f - dot) * Time.deltaTime);

        _animator.SetFloat(_animIDSpeed, animSpeed);
        _controller.Move(transform.forward * speed + Vector3.down * 3f * Time.deltaTime);

save for some creazy animation speed manipulation on turning which I should get rid of or cleanup the movement itself is almost the same. So it must be something with the setup of the character controllers?

Hi, so I am trying to implement an animation of something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXJUYumwh-k. I am working on the color part when the rotating object comes in contact with the stationary object. I basically implemented a collider for each tooth so to speak and I am not sure how to go about it after taht. Is there a way where you change the color of a gameobject based on the percentage of alignment between the two objects?

how are you defining alignment?

#

if it's based on distance, then you'll want to measure the distance between two points (probably the position of yourself and of the other collider) and adjust your color based on that

I am using ontriggerstay but it is not working great because it only fixes on one color

including the "Ignore Raycast" layer

timid depot

yes

leaden ice

So what's the problem?

ignore raycast is layer 8

#

It's doing what you told it to do

#

You sure?

timid depot
#

yes

leaden ice
#

show your layers?

#

Pretty sure it's like layer 3

#

Anyway - there's no need to make a custom mask to specifically avoid the Ignore Raycast layer

#

the default layermask already does that

#

so you can simply omit the layermask parameter

timid depot
#

oh you're right

#

its different id than 8

#

but it should ignore it by default when set?

# 
mask = 1 << 8;
mask |= 1 << 2;
mask = ~mask;```
#

now it works thanks for your help

So for example this is the code for one of the teeth of the parts https://paste.ofcode.org/Fa5TwReCzyvBjyQJfbh7Gk. The image attached shows the circled gameobject is called north-west and the rectangle object is "other" gameobject. This is the snippet of the code but the same idea can be applied for the other gameobjects. I have an array of colors that TransitionNW goes through in 4 seconds and then it loops through once it is done going through all the colors.

Flipping the boolean in on stay seems weird. Triggeronstay will be called on every fixed update until the object leaves the trigger.

the zombies and sheep use CharacterController with a single call to Move() in their Update() and yet they behave very differently. The zombies seem more "planted", while the sheep very easily bump into the air. Is this something that should work with character controllers or should I ditch the character controller and use rigidbody capsules for the npc's/critters/enemies? I just don't know what I'm missing with the sheep setup that's causing them to behave so differently.

rigid island
tawdry jasper
#

The only 2 diffrences are: the zombies have a ragdoll on them with all rigidbodies set to kinematic, but I don't think that's it as I added a box+kinematic rb to some of the sheep armatures and it made no difference. The other one is I tried to fit the character collider capsule around the sheep which resulted to them being "ball shaped" which kind of explains why they move like balls a bit?

rigid island
#

why not use navmesh agentss

tawdry jasper
tawdry jasper
# rigid island why not use navmesh agentss

I'm thinking of doing that down the road if/when I learn how to use them. Does having a navmesh agent replace the character controller though? I'll still need something on them to collide with?

Plus my issue here is with the sheep: and the sheep can't be navmesh agents cause I want them to use flocking behaviour (ok actually they could be navmesh agents still).

but what would that really solve? maybe I wouldn't have to add the downward vector to their move code?

deft timber
#

Basic tutorial about nav mesh in unity will answer all the questions you just asked

tawdry jasper
#

(I mean the actual issue with the sheep is that they allow themselves to be pushed, will making them navmesh agents solve that? I think navmesh solves a different problem?)

rigid island
#

you make them kinematic with collider

tawdry jasper
#

Well... It's "fixed" as in I figured out why sheep behave different than zombies: they were on different layers, I've put them on the same one and now it works (as I expected too), now my problem is I don't really get why it works since looking at the collission matrix my default and enemies layers look the same to me. But it's on my list of things to cleanup, I have way more layers than I need. (when I started this project I added layers to prevent collisions that I would temporarily reassign objects to, and have since learned I can simply disable the collider)

 //this don't work, always goes to world forward

//this works

Hi.
Why does the first time I do the checking it works fine, but the second time it gives me an warning?

while (queue.Count > 0)
{
    var current = queue.Dequeue();

    if (GenerationManager.Tilemap.GetTile(current) is WaterTile)
        return path;

    var neighbors = GenerationManager.GetAdjacentNeighbors(current);

    float value = IslandValue[current.x, current.y];

    foreach (var neighbor in neighbors)
    {
        float currValue = 0;
        
        if (!GenerationManager.Tilemap.GetTile(neighbor) is WaterTile)
        {
            currValue = IslandValue[neighbor.x, neighbor.y];
        }
            
    }
}```
#

The warning is "the given expression is never of the provided type"

#

Which is kinda of odd, as I'm checking for another position, I'm not checking for current again

To expand on dlitch comment, the approach I use in my game is a enum that determines my games state in a static class, that static class has a public property with a event things can sub/unsub to (similar to a Observer pattern), so for example, when a enemy spawns they can call GameManager.onGameStateChange += DoSomething;, then "DoSomething" takes the GameState enum and I can do things like gameObject.enabled = state == GameState.Playing, I can also toggle input for certain UI this way, and for classes that dont use Update/coroutines/unity events I can setup a local bool to be toggled based on the event, this is what works fine for my game, maybe this approach can give you some ideas

Note: The flying all over the place only happens when I am holding a movement key (WASD) at time of collision. Otherwise, it behaves stable-y.

rigidbody characterController Smoothy.cs https://hastebin.com/share/epemenawur.csharp
MyKeyInput.cs grabs keyboard input https://hastebin.com/share/ozaxiwehon.csharp
^ -- these are the only two scripts on the Capsule

BarLogic.cs is the script on the bar that the Capsule collides with before Capsule goes crazy https://hastebin.com/share/owecezekaj.csharp

Gif of issue: https://i.imgur.com/skB5tWk.gif

also, if the issue is because of anything in Smoothy.cs being active at the time of collision, this confuses me because in BarLogic.cs I am disabling Smoothy.cs upon OnTriggerEnter. so how could it possibly be a problem with code in Smoothy.cs if colliding with the bar should instantly disable it? (I'm noticing that if I remove the //Rotation code in Smoothy.cs that this spazzing out & flying around doesn't consistently happen anymore, but since I'm already telling the code via BarLogic.cs to "Disable Smoothy.cs upon colliding with Cube", I don't know what more I'm supposed to do.)

I've got a GameManager with DontDestroyOnLoad that checks which Scene has been loaded and starts an initializing routine on it's specific manager:

{
    switch (scene.buildIndex)
    {
        case 1: //overworld
            StartCoroutine(OverworldManager.Instance.Initialize(playerPosition, timeOfDay, map, entryPoint, overworldSceneCode));
            break;
    }
}```
But when I initialize it on OverworldManager, it gives me an error on this line:
```public IEnumerator Initialize(Vector2 playerPos, TimeOfDay timeOfDay, string mapName, string entryPoint, string overworldSceneCode)
{
    yield return 0;
    pathfindingInjector = GetComponent<PathFindingInjector>(); <--
    yield break;
}```
```MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'OverworldManager' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.```
sharp acorn
#

Btw, the second code snippet is being executed in a component of the object that has been destroyed, what am I missing?

fervent furnace
#

your game manager is ddol
how about your OverworldManager

sharp acorn
#

It ain't

#

But the switc in OnLoadedScene should assure there is an OverworldManager in the scene

#

Also, this was working perfectly yesterday xD

knotty sun
#

wrong overworldmanager

sharp acorn
#

There is only one in that specific scene

knotty sun
#

no, you misunderstand
the game manager is refering to the overworldmanager in the first scene, that no longer exists

sharp acorn
#

So, OnLoadedScene is executing before switching scenes?

fervent furnace
#

the ienumerator is belong to the destroyed manager not the new one
no idea why it worked

sharp acorn
#

Does Awake() execute before OnLoadedScene?

#

In any case, this should fix it, but it doesn't:

{
    switch (scene.buildIndex)
    {
        case 1: //overworld
            OverworldManager manager = GameObject.Find("OverworldController").GetComponent<OverworldManager>();
            StartCoroutine(manager.Initialize(playerPosition, timeOfDay, map, entryPoint, overworldSceneCode));
            break;
    }
}```
#

Well, I also should have said that the OverworldManager is a singleton

fervent furnace
#

it may help
you can have a look

I'm making a game with randomly generated dungeons, so I made it that when the dungeon is generated the NavMesh is baked, but the doors don't connect for some reason, does anyone know why? (The agent size is small enough for it to connect)

tried setting it to zero?

Hey everyone, I have an item attribute system that currently looks like this:

[System.Serializable]
public class ItemAttribute
{
    public ItemAttributeType type;
    public ItemAttributeValueType valueType;

    [EnableIf("valueType", ItemAttributeValueType.Float)] [AllowNesting] public float floatValue;
    [EnableIf("valueType", ItemAttributeValueType.String)] [AllowNesting] public string stringValue;
    [EnableIf("valueType", ItemAttributeValueType.Color)] [AllowNesting] public Color colorValue;
    [EnableIf("valueType", ItemAttributeValueType.Vector2)] [AllowNesting] public Vector2 vector2Value;
    [EnableIf("valueType", ItemAttributeValueType.Vector3)] [AllowNesting] public Vector3 vector3Value;
}

public enum ItemAttributeType
{
    durability,
    containerSize
}

public enum ItemAttributeValueType
{
    Float,
    String,
    Color,
    Vector2,
    Vector3
}

I was wondering if it's possible to somehow link each ItemAttributeType enum with an ItemAttributeValueType? For example I'd want the durability ItemAttributeType to be linked with a float ItemAttributeValueType.

Am I missing something, or is UI toolkit not as clean as the legacy UI stuff when it comes to callbacks? Asking because having to query the DOM by element IDs to set callbacks seems like a downgrade from how legacy UI lets you define onclick stuff in the inspector. Is there a better way?

Something like the following.

  3. The base makes a basic attack. Additionally, it fires a counter-attack missile as much as the damage ...

hey, so i want to have my camera switch between different angles a la silent hill 1, what would be the best way to go about it?
I got two solutions im thinking of and can't decide on the approach:

  1. Multiple cameras i flick between disabling/enabling
  2. One camera, switches between transforms sat as empty gameobjects

which way would be best out of those in regards to efficiency, or is there another way i haven't thought of? TIA

heady iris
#

Cinemachine can do this for you.

#

just set the default blend to "Cut".

#

this will make it easy to give each camera angle different settings (notably, field of view) without needing to juggle lots of cameras and keep the rest of their settings consistent

strange pine
#

brilliant, thank you! 🙂

#

so i've never used cinemachine before so gonna dive into docs, but before i do, would specific cameras also be able to pivot to look at player?

#

i.e. camera 1 is just a static angle, but camera 2 would look at the player and follow while at a static position

#

nvm answered my own question XD

heady iris
#

yeah, there are lots of aim options

strange pine
#

coolio, thank you

heady iris
#

Also, if you're just starting to use Cinemachine, you can choose between 2.0 and 3.0

#

I use Cinemachine 3.0 everywhere now

#

Both work fine and both will be supported for a long while

#

It cleans up a few pain points (for example, 2.0 has a whole special kind of third-person orbit camera)

#

the API also feels nicer; 2.0 uses that annoying m_ prefix everywhere

#

@proven plume build path looks like a directory tho? is that an additional buildoption?

timid depot
#

i think this is correct channel for that, whats the best solution for player controller if I want it to interact a little bit with physics? my current is using capsule and MovePosition and it moves many objects that are too heavy, clips to walls etc, ChatacterController doesn't use physics besides od gravity i think? any idea what can I use?

leaden ice
heady iris
#

CharacterController indeed doesn't care about physics. It does respect colliders.

#

actually, I'm mildly surprised you're able to push objects around

leaden ice
#

I think they're using a Rigidbody right now

#

MovePosition is a Rigidbody function

timid depot
#

yes I'm using rigid body

timid depot
leaden ice
#

also 500kg is quite small for a car

timid depot
#

nimble cairn
#

I'm just working on the settings menu for my game and I'm a bit confused with how AA works when you are camera stacking.

MSAA * 8 in the URP settings, yet disabled on the camera?

#

Is there an override setting or is something else happening?

leaden ice
#

but also realistic physics limitations are hard to put into a game. In a game you can always add forces no matter what. in real life you need some other object to leverage against, or you can't actually push

timid depot
#

even when I would put car to 1000kg player will be able to flip car

leaden ice
# timid depot player is just 40kg

but also realistic physics limitations are hard to put into a game. In a game you can always add forces no matter what. in real life you need some other object to leverage against, or you can't actually push

#

the amount of forces you're adding to the player - also relevant

timid depot
#

but when I will add less force player is too slow

#

that's why I'm asking for anything different than MovePosition

leaden ice
#

Forces

I'll try

I am getting this error:

Objects are trying to be loaded during a domain backup. This is not allowed as it will lead to undefined behaviour!

UnityEditor.Graphing.GraphObject:OnBeforeSerialize ()

My game is running still but i d like to avoid corrupting the project so how do I figure out whats causing it.

maiden quail
#

What is the expected behavior of UnityWebRequest.Get(url);? If I do UnityWebRequest.Get("asdfasdfasdfasdfasdf") and yield on it in a coroutine, it NEVER completes (I would expect it to end quickly with an error). If I paste a valid uri in a browser to where I actually want to GET from, I get the expect JSON blob response, but if I use UnityWebRequest.Get for that same uri, it just yields endlessly and isDone is never true. Obviously there's a error going on here, but Unity's API seems extremely unhelpful.

EDIT: nvm I wasn't calling SendWebRequest() after creating it 🥲

rigid island
#

put it in a tryGet and use a timeout

late lion
#

By default, Unity web requests don't have any timeout, so that could explain why it never gives up trying to connect.

maiden quail
# late lion Is there any difference between putting in an invalid URL, like "asdf", vs a val...

Here's an example, this seems extremely broken to me, obviously www.google.com is valid and obviously I have internet:

        [MenuItem("Tools/Test Google")]
        public static void GetGoogle()
        {
            _instance.StartCoroutine(_instance.GetGoogleCoroutine());
        }

        private IEnumerator GetGoogleCoroutine()
        {
            var www = UnityWebRequest.Get("www.google.com");
            while (!www.isDone)
                yield return null;

since part.position will likely be a world space position

timid depot
leaden ice
#

of what

timid depot
#

where part should be attached

leaden ice
#

but the joint is on the part

timid depot
#

yes

#

so it should be zero?

leaden ice
#

the anchor needs to be the local space of the connection point in the part's coordinate system

timid depot
#

I dont get it

leaden ice
#

You did this:
part.gameObject.AddComponent<HingeJoint>();

#

so the joint is on part.GameObject

#

Where is the connection point supposed to be?

timid depot
#

exatcly where part is located in local position

#

so part.position

leaden ice
#

no

#

that would be

#

Vector3.zero

timid depot
#

Ill try wait

leaden ice
#

because the part is at 0 in its OWN local coordinate space

leaden ice
timid depot
#

yes

leaden ice

the joint anchor needs to be in the part's coordinate space

now its inside parents center

Im having a problem that I would of expected to be easy but is driving me insane and not working....

This is for Quest VR... I have a ground plane (with a mesh collider to keep from falling thru) and a player with a character controller. All works as expected. I want to put the character INSIDE of a cylinder or a capsule and have it contain the player. I want the player to collide with the inside walls if they try to get out.
So i've tried both a cylinder and a capsule both with a capsule collider. I make them much larger than the player and the character controller. The problem is both options immediately forces the player OUTSIDE of the object. The collision then works and I can't get back into the shape.
For trouble shooting I tried with a cube and a box collider this time the player stayed inside the shape but went right thru the wall but then it gets blocked trying to go back inside. I even tried each shape with reversed normals. That didn't work either and it would eject anything in the space with a rigid body. Anyone have any idea whats wrong here????

I'm genuinely stumped.. what's the issue here? Gamemode is the class I'm inheriting from which is meant to just make life easier and then MeleeGamemode is well.. the gamemode

It refuses to add listeners and I have to do it manually in the inspector

You need to either create a mesh or place multiple object around the player. I recommand ProBuilder if you are not familliar with 3d editing tool.

(For the record just so I don't look stupid the quit was for testing. The loop never quits the app despite the fact the participatingPlayers is always correct before it)

#

Okay nevermind fml it was script execution order

#

Should definitely be using start instead of awake for gamemodes anyways

Hello, I don't really know in which category my question falls (beginner - general - advanced) so I'll put it here.

I am questionning myself regarding json conversions of things such as ScriptableObjects. If an Object holds a SO when converted, what happens ?

Also, if the "connection" got cut during the conversion, how to establish it back during the re-conversion from json to an Object ?

I've been getting into a bad habbit of using Application.Quit because its immediate and I'm going to have to edit the script anyways lol

#

I need to break it at some point it just kind of came out of nowhere

#

Application.Quit does nothing in the Editor

knotty sun
#

Dont. How do you expect code to execute afterwards?

simple egret
#

You're better off actually using the debugger with a breakpoint

languid hound

#

return; then?

knotty sun
#

except your addlistener perhaps?

'It refuses to add listeners'
maybe because of

languid hound
#

It was because of script execution order not the quit

#

But yeah I got rid of the quit after the screenshot

#

I should've mentioned that

public void ChangeColor()
{
    var color = new Color(Random.RandomRange(0, 255), Random.RandomRange(0, 255), Random.RandomRange(0, 255));
    Debug.Log(color);
    foreach (Transform child in ore.transform)
    {
        var spriterender = child.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        spriterender.color = color;
        spriterender.material.color = color;
    }
}

I am trying to change the colour of each of the Square sprites under the Ore GameObject. But when I run the above method, they all change to white regardless of the Color() that is created

Both of them convert to each other and back, seamlessly

Oh that explains it! Thanks 🙂

That's what I had in mind too. I guess I'll go with that unless I find something better.
To give you an idea of why I asked :

  • I have a class Character which just has attributes that will be modified compared to the SO it originates from (eg. the level).
  • It also has the SO as an attribute to seek the attributes that will be never-changing (eg. the name).

I did that to avoid having 300 Characters originating from the same SO having unnecessary common and constant attributes. I feel like it's more optimised memory-wise, etc... Still I need to store them in a json text file which is why I was concerned with SO "connection" (which is just an attribute)

Please do correct me if my thought process is wrong or if you see better options.

I have a crosshair sitting on top of a render texture. I want to raycast to the far back from the crosshair position.
I'm trying to calculate the raycast from the crosshair position inside the RenderTexture, to shoot from the camera that renders it. ```Vector2 screenPosition = RectTransformUtility.WorldToScreenPoint(mainCamera, this.transform.position);

        // Create a ray from the screen position
        Ray ray = mainCamera.ScreenPointToRay(screenPosition);
        Debug.Log(screenPosition);
        return ray;```

It returns ridiclous values like X:709584, y:459434, 0

In fact, I didn't see the problem from that angle, I unnecessarily worried over optimization where it didn't really matter

only worry about memory if you are being wasteful, or memory cost is getting large

300 characters is like one discord message lol

#

unity would serialize that as a reference, unless you are defining the whole character there

#

and if you’re defining the whole character there, well it needs to get defined somewhere

#

i have my SOs reference other SOs ina field all the time. It literally costs as much as one reference

guys, is there some good free resources of making ui management system from scratch? tutorial or good repo to check is fine
not something very complicated, just management of a panels, buttons and decoupling them from main logic by some way
I'm trying to make ui for my game, but it's so clunky and I dunno how things done right for this problem

like quite good examples of making an ui system, not just "how to make a button with functionality", etc.
maybe something with mvc, dunno (I'm not very proficient in mv-family patterns to implement it, it's just for example)

Im not sure of any specific resources I can send, though with my UI, I use events and serialized classes so I can setup canvas-specific references like text, images, etc, and the UI can just respond to events and update itself when things change, the event itself can pass whatever dependencies are needed (such as the player if the UI needs to display the current health for example, or the player can fire a "onDamage" or "onHealthChanged" event and pass its current health, the UI can listen for that) - panels could be handled like a state machine or a stack if you want to allow popping (like spamming the back/esc button), maybe those techniques could help you build your own UI system

What would be the best way to smoothly move an object to another position when you click the mouse?

#

Obviously if i check for the mouse press and call a function its only gonna run once so it won't smoothly move

#

if you want smooth movement, it has to do some moving every frame

#

don't worry about it

lean sail
#

If you are doing this for 1000 objects then maybe start to profile.

So is there any way in OnTriggerEnter to check if the collider that was entered was the one the script is attached to or a child of that collider? Because it seems the only parameter that the event returns is the foreign collider

#

Compare references by either using GetComponent or cache them somewhere on the script

chrome trail
#

Or rather exclude collisions triggered by its children

Is there a better workflow with singletons? Right now I have a bootup scene which has the singleton then I add DontDestroyToLoad to the singleton

The issue with this is if I want to work in another scene I have to go back to the bootup scene so the game manager singleton actually gets initialized and then navigate through my menu to the scene

latent latch

#

The object and its children are already on different layers

latent latch
#

I'd expect there's another way, because I'd feel like designing for layers would eat them up pretty quickly for these concepts.

I think I misunderstand what my line is doing:

        _spriteRenderer.gameObject.SetActive(slot is { Item: ToolSO or SeedPackSO });

What I want it to do is set the sprite rendered to active only if the item at the slot is a tool or a seedpack, but if it changes from a non-tool or seed pack item to a tool or seed pack item it does not activate

latent latch

#

I considered that but it just seems so hacky

#

It works but I guess I was hoping there was a more efficient way

latent latch
#

Well, considering when you do build it, you'll always start in the boot screen

#

so temporarily hacky in that sense

languid hound
#

Yeah you're not wrong

lean sail
chrome trail
latent latch
#

right, you exclude them from physics operations

chrome trail
latent latch
#

I'm not too sure about that with collisional events and rigidbodies. I would say just compare layers and ignore them, though I'm not sure how you manage that without doing the casting yourself.
