How do you initialize the native array?

keen smelt
#

So running in Update, I run this:

#

in CompleteProjectileHits(), literally it stards with handle.complete(), and normally place it in Late Update. I shoved it in there and no errors, so it runs in the update.

#

I hope that makes sense. Thank you in advance any advice and for your time!

dense tusk
keen smelt
#

got it! Doing it! sorry!

ashen jasper
#

Yea I got it but I didn't do waypoints. I simply made collision so it would update the z axis

cosmic rain
keen smelt
#

So I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong? It seems OK to me but what do I know lol

cosmic rain
keen smelt
#

for context, points to line 131 which is starting the for loop. handle.Complete(); for(int i = 0; i < raycastCommands.Count(); i++)

#

the line immediately after I complete it. I dispose after the loop

cosmic rain
#

I think the error implies that there's double deallocation going on. Maybe that code runs again after the arrays were already disposed?

keen smelt
#

ah god dammit

#

yes 100% you are right

#

I'm a moron

leaden ice
keen smelt
#

I was running it when no job was scheduled

leaden ice
#

Ah you figured it out

keen smelt
#

and I thought my logic was good to be like "hey do this if I have a job"

#

but no

#

for I am dumb

#

THANK YOU @cosmic rain

#

I just added a bool for when I scheduled the job and checked for it, and reset it after I cleared it. I... don't know what I was doing before but it was wrong.

#

sigh

#

not sure why they let me drive a car

#

yet here I am

#

thank you all, much appreciated!!

Hope you all have a good night

Hey everyone, so in my ball throwing game, i'm trying to make it so that when my player releases space,, the ball releases from the player's hand and scores a point. I'm having an issue with releasing the ball from the player's hand. Here is my ball holding and throwing script: https://hastebin.com/share/sayujacadi.csharp

fervent furnace
#

do you have multiple balls on scene
btw sounds code beginner

naive lake
#

Sorry, I'll post it in there next time

#

No, just one

fervent furnace
#

click left button->hold down space bar->release space bar->release left button, then the ball wont being thrown?

naive lake
#

Nope

#

The ball is released tho

#

I think the if section stops being true once I release the space button and the "isHoldingBall" becomes false

#

But I'm not sure how to do it any other way

fervent furnace
#

you have 6 if blocks here, which one?

naive lake
#

The last one on "ThrowBall"

fervent furnace
#

HoldBall.isHolding becomes false once you release the left button or release the space bar, what is the problem?

naive lake
#

I think that since the ballRb.AddForce does not work because isHoldingBall becomes false

#

Or is that not how if commands work 😅

#

Either way, do you have any idea on how to make it so that the ball will have the force added onto it?

#

The reason I had the ball release from the player, was so that it wouldn't stay in that spot

fervent furnace
#

oh i see the problem, try apply impulse force

naive lake
#

What does it default to?

#

without applying impulse force?

fervent furnace
#

by default forcemode.force

#

v=v+f/m* dt

naive lake
#

So that, didn't fix it...

#

It still releases the ball, and doesn't add the force

#

It might be a seperate issue, I tried this and it didn't add any force anyways

Screenshot_2024-03-02_at_4.58.30_pm.png
fervent furnace
#

normalize the direction at first, then try to multiply it with a large value eg 100000 to see if the ball moves
i think the isholding ball is not the cause

naive lake
#

I'll do that in a second, but do you think it has to do with the ballForceDirection?

fervent furnace
#

yes

naive lake
#

Like this?

Screenshot_2024-03-02_at_5.02.50_pm.png
fervent furnace
#

yes

naive lake
#

Unfortunately, that did not fix it

fervent furnace
#

btw you dont need to declare everything to be class fields

Was reading someone's dependency injection utility and they said it supports monobehaviours and components. What is a https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.html and how would you use it? Any monobehaviour script you write you then interact with GetComponent or AddComponent, so how do you interact with an actual Component classes, is there some common real world use case for them or is it just an implementation detail of monobehaviours?

fervent furnace
#

try disable the part that moving ball transform

// Calculate the desired position based on camera's forward direction
Vector3 targetPosition = mainCamera.transform.position + mainCamera.transform.forward * distance + Vector3.up * height;

// Set the position of the object
transform.position = targetPosition;

// Make the object look at the camera
transform.LookAt(mainCamera.transform);
```though i think it should not make any effect after release the space bar
naive lake
#

That whole part?

fervent furnace
#

oh wait, is this script on your ball?

naive lake
#

Yup

fervent furnace
#

then```cs
ball = GameObject.FindWithTag("Ball");

naive lake
#

Oh lol

#

I think I was planning to put it on the player and switched halfway through

#

OH WAIT

#

So I'm planning to have multiple balls in the fuuture

#

I think that was in plan for that

#

But I know that'll require some other stuff too

#

I just want it to work in this way first so I have a baseline on what I need to do

#

Anyways, did u find any solutions to the ball having the force applied to it?

fervent furnace
#

not moving the ball transform
but after moving it the ball should still move since it velocity is not zero

naive lake
#

Sorry, but I don't understand.

fervent furnace
#

comment out the code i posted

naive lake
naive lake
fervent furnace
#

the part that moving the ball transform

naive lake
#

So I did these 2 things

Screenshot_2024-03-02_at_5.24.53_pm.png Screenshot_2024-03-02_at_5.25.00_pm.png
#

And it still does not fix it

#

Do you have any suggestions on changing the ballForceDirection (if that's the issue)

fervent furnace
#

reverse the direction

#

player--->ball
dir=ball-player

naive lake
#

I tried it with and without commenting the code, but it did not fix the issue.

fervent furnace
#

apply a constant force
is there any other script modify the ball transform?

naive lake
fervent furnace
#

dir.normalized*10000, dont take heldtime into account

naive lake
#

That didn't work either...

#

Oh

#

Could it be because it is grabbing it's own transform.position

Screenshot_2024-03-02_at_5.35.58_pm.png
#

In that case, should I put the script on the player?

naive lake
fervent furnace
#

the ThrowBall is not in player but in the ball?

naive lake
#

Yes

#

Moving it fixed the issue

fervent furnace
#

then the direction vector always zero

naive lake
#

Yup

fervent furnace
#

i think it is on player at first

naive lake
#

I have moved it onto the player now, and it fixed the issue

#

However

#

Whenever the ball moves, it moves in a downward direction

#

*forwards and downwards

#

Nvm, the main issue is resolved and tweaking should fix these minor things

#

Thank you for your time!

is there supposed to be a difference when assigning sprites to a spriteRenderer vs a UI image? I'm in a situation where I have to create a sprite from an SVG, but the sprite only seems to be visible on spriteRenderers and not UI images

    void Start()
    {
        List<VectorUtils.Geometry> geometries = GetGeometries();

        Sprite spriteFromSVG = VectorUtils.BuildSprite(geometries, pixelsPerUnit, VectorUtils.Alignment.Center, Vector2.zero, 128, flipYAxis);
        //This doesn't work
        image.sprite = spriteFromSVG;
        //This works
        spriteRenderer.sprite = spriteFromSVG;

        //These both work
        image.sprite = spriteInspector;
        spriteRenderer.sprite = spriteInspector;
    }

    private List<VectorUtils.Geometry> GetGeometries()
    {
        using var textReader = new StringReader(svg);
        var sceneInfo = SVGParser.ImportSVG(textReader);

        return VectorUtils.TessellateScene(sceneInfo.Scene, new VectorUtils.TessellationOptions
        {
            StepDistance = 10,
            SamplingStepSize = 100,
            MaxCordDeviation = 0.5f,
            MaxTanAngleDeviation = 0.1f
        });
    }
#

weirdly enough, assigning a sprite from the inspector seems to work just fine for both

#

settings on UI Image

#

there is clearly a sprite (when I click on source image), but it's nowhere to be seen

#

I also have the option of converting a dataURL (base 64) string to a sprite, but I had no luck getting that to work either

faint nimbus
#

I already have the code, I just dont know how to make something bigger or smaller using the same object when interacting (without hiding or setting to active), or should I just use set active?

#

How do I apply uniform scale whenever scale gizmo is used? For example if someone drags any of the x, y, z handles I want to set the scale to Vector3.one * <scaled axis>

#

ideally I would like to disallow even using the scale gizmos for each axis separately for such objects... but I doubt I can do that

#

Is there some smarter way than keeping track of previousScale and comparing each component separately in OnDrawGizmos/OnGui or something?

golden lichen
#

I figured out the dataURL conversion wasn't working because the mime type is gif, and that doesn't work. I had to find a new library that can encode png and jpeg

#

but the whole svg thing is still a mystery

Any tips of how to get more "organic" following behaviour? Right now each goober just attempts to path straight to its designated point in the formation. The formation itself rotates towards the player and follows them if they get too far away.

wicked scroll
# dawn nebula Any tips of how to get more "organic" following behaviour? Right now each goober...
  1. a more organic shape for the formation would probably help (and i'd space the dudes out more with some variance since they are unnaturally stacked)
  2. if you give them some movement animation (bob up and down maybe), that would add some organic noise to the mass
  3. you could also give them different/varying speeds and let them push each other out of the way so that they don't feel so monolithic
    just some random ideas...might be worth looking at what the pikmin games do or how schools of fish move, depending on what behavior you are looking for
dawn nebula
#

I kinda want/need them to be this crunched though.

#

I'd like... 100 of them >_>

#

and this is only 20

if you can put jiggle bones on the antennae that would add a lot

Hey everyone, do you know this pack? I have a small issue with the ,,Fixed joystick" script. I want to change something in the code (made something public) but the code looks empty (in the inspector everything looks normal). If you guys have that script it will be awesome if you will send that.

Hello!!

I have a simple panel for entering text and sending a message (in the first video)

there is such a problem

I have a script that controls the position of the panel depending on the size of the keyboard using the OnSelect and OnDeselect events

due to the animation of the panel shifting, when you try to click on the send message button, it does not work

How can I make it so that I can:

  1. click on the send message button
  2. do not move the panels when you click on the send button or gift button
#

Script that move my panel up and down

public class KeyboardHandler : MonoBehaviour
    {
        [SerializeField] private InputFieldView inputField;
        [SerializeField] private CanvasScaler canvasScaler;
        [SerializeField] private RectTransform moveRoot;
        [SerializeField] private float moveUiSpeed;
        [SerializeField] private float testHeight;

        private Tween _moveDownTween;
        private bool _keyboardIsActive;

        private void Awake()
        {
            inputField.OnSelect.Subscribe(OnKeyboardActivated);
            inputField.OnDeselect.Subscribe(OnKeyboardDeactivated);
        }
        
        private void Update()
        {
            if (_keyboardIsActive)
            {
                var rate = canvasScaler.referenceResolution.y / Screen.height;
#if UNITY_EDITOR
                var height = testHeight * rate;
#else
                var height = SoftwareKeyboardArea.GetHeight(true) * rate;
#endif
                var anchoredPosition = moveRoot.anchoredPosition;
                var targetPosition = new Vector2(anchoredPosition.x, height);
                moveRoot.anchoredPosition =
                    Vector2.Lerp(anchoredPosition, targetPosition, Time.deltaTime * moveUiSpeed);
            }
        }
        
        private void OnKeyboardActivated()
        {
            _keyboardIsActive = true;
            _moveDownTween?.Kill();
        }
        
        private void OnKeyboardDeactivated()
        {
            _keyboardIsActive = false;
            _moveDownTween?.Kill();
            _moveDownTween = moveRoot.DOAnchorPos(Vector2.zero, 0.1f);
        }
    }
#

this is my send button

#

I try to add simple filtration, that check current selected object and if this object is my Send Clickable view Select input field again, but in this case my currentSelectedGameObject is always "input_field"

If I check currentSelectedGameObject when Click to my button I have null in EventSystem.current field

#

I have no mobile experience, but I think maybe you can set the button so it can't be selected

#

You could also try making the button something that isn't a Selectable (for example an Image) and add a custom IPointerClickHandler on it

#

That way it will never be the currectSelectedGameObject

As long as you yield in the loop, your game won't freeze. Always make sure all code paths in a loop hit a yield

I have an interface for special cases, with a function that does something something, and then returns true/false to let the function that invoked it know if it should also continue with non-special case code.

so does true mean it successfully drew a preview, and we’re done, or true that we need to continue to normally draw preview as well?

little meadow
#

same as all Try things - true on success of the operation

#

it doesn't know what the outside is using the result for

#

ok… but the thing is that this is an additive process. I may do something (or not) independently of whether or not I should also do the rest of the process

little meadow
#

I see... 🤔

hard viper
#

TryDrawPreview false means it did not draw, but what if it did draw but needs me to go on as well

#

it’s partially a naming issue

#

i could make an out param, but idk if that exactly fixes the issue

little meadow
#

you could maybe return an enum instead of bool

#

then it's more explicit about the meaning of the value

hard viper
# 
    out bool doNormalPreview) => doNormalPreview = false;```
#

maybe more recognizable?

little meadow
#

I'm not a big fan of out params... but it does seem like a reasonable approach

hard viper
#

i’m not either. this feels janky, but it is at least clear what I want to convey

Hi guys, need some help. I'm trying to open a generic field to the inspector but I'm receiving an error:

"The field Dealer<System.Single>.affector has the [SerializeReference] attribute applied, but is of type Affector<System.Single>, which is a generic instance type. This is not supported. You must create a non-generic subclass of your generic instance type and use that as the field type instead."

The code it's pointing to is below:

public abstract class Dealer<T> : MonoBehaviour 
{
    // --- snip ---
>>> [SerializeReference] public Affector<T> affector;
    // --- snip ---
}

I'm concerned because the field's type is based on the class's defined type, so I cannot define a concrete type like the warning is suggesting. Am I SOL on this solution?

Unity version: LTS 2022.3.20f

little meadow
#

SerializeReference doesn't handle generic types

hard viper
#

yeah, just make a concrete type

little meadow
#

perhaps it's fixed in 2023 though

#

if you have the option to use that (I don't see this limitation mentioned in the docs there)

sharp abyss
#

I see, is there any other way to expose it it in the editor? if it helps the Affector<T> is a interface and I read this is one of the ways to expose it.

public interface Affector<T>
{
    //---snippy---
}
hard viper
#

I personally have:
FixedSpawnBase : Monobehaviour
FixedSpawnBase<T> : FixedSpawnBase
FixedSpawnSingle : FixedSpawnBase<TilePlacementInstance>
FixedSpawnLine : FixedSpawnBase<TilePlacementContiguous>...

but stop trying to serialize generics

sharp abyss
sharp abyss
little meadow
#

so, you can't just use newer version of Unity?

hard viper
#

in general, if it is serialized, it should be a concrete type

little meadow
#

it is a concrete type, Unity is just kinda stupid 😛

#

(well, they seem to have fixed it in 2023, so there's that)

sharp abyss
sharp abyss
hard viper
#

either way, you should get the tnrd serializable interface plugin

#

it is good for serializing fields that are an interface

little meadow
#

hey, you can use Pulni's Editor Tools if you wanna serialize interfaces and abstract classes and all that 😅

hard viper
#

unknown dev is sus

little meadow
#

but not the thing that you want, because technically it's still based on [SerializeReference]... it's more of a helper on top

sharp abyss
#

Gonna test the 2023 ver, o7 I'll give the tools a try later too. Thanks guys!

hard viper
little meadow
#

also uses [SerializeReference] inside so can't handle generics of that type, but seems pretty cool otherwise 👍

hard viper
#

I wouldn't expect it to handle generics tbh

little meadow
#

well it is just a Unity limitation 🤷‍♂️ ... nowadays you can do [SerializeField] private MyClass<int> myVar; and it'll show just fine... but if you wanna do SerializeReference and gain the ability to serialize interfaces/abstract stuff - it doesn't work

#

Im using this code to take a screen capture of a specific region

it captures from the smaller camera

#

it works fine in the editor, but when i build my project the screenshots it returns are blank with the wrong resolution

#

So im guessing the camera is scaling weirdly during building or something like that

#

1 is in editor, 2 is in build

#

I dont really know how to fix it because I dont know how building affects things like this

sharp abyss

#

Hehe you're welcome to give it a shot. Maybe you'll catch something 2am brain missed

#

This is what I currently have if it helps at all

Unity Version: 2023.2.12f1

Generic.cs

public abstract class Generic<T> : MonoBehaviour 
{
    [SerializeReference] public IInterface<T> affector;
}

public interface IInterface<T>
{
}

Concrete.cs

public class Concrete : Generic<float>
{
}

put Concrete on a Gameobject and the field will not be shown

hard viper
#

it makes sense for an enum that tells me the overall play mode to be a static variable, right?

#

eg. in overworld, in level, in main menu...

#

otherwise I think i'm struggling with singletons instancing in order or disappearing.

#

making it static fixes a lot of issues with initializing and closing, but i get an ominious feeling of doom

little meadow
#

I'd say go for it until it's a problem 😛

#

main issue I've had with static things is when you wanna do a clean reset, you need to tell all the static places to lose their data

hard viper
#

the main use case is to tell the main scene if we are in level editor mode or not. So clean reset isn't really a problem... probably

This one specifically doesn't seem like it'll be problematic, yeah

  2. Is there a way to change the speed of an object while traveling over the spline?
  3. Is there a way to tell the object to stip following the Spline for a set period of time?
  4. If I want to have an object branch onto a linked Spline how do I tell the object if it should do so?

#

This doesn't count that though, does it? It just adds 1 to the WrapCount if it wraps at least once

#

Unless you're repeatedly calling it for each index

#

Oh hold on

steep herald
#

@random oak you could keep the raw index, use int div to know the wraps count and use modulo when accessing the list

random oak
steep herald
#

@random oak What 2 indices?

#

WrapCount can be determined dynamically by index / yourListCount

#

if you don't use modulo on your index

random oak
simple egret
#

With your current code, the index isn't kept. The one you pass is incremented and wrapped if needed, but that's pretty much it. You probably want to do it on a field instead, and modify the method so it doesn't take any parameters

young sage
# 
itemSlots[col][row].(MainFrogController)Item.FrogController

Is there a way to cast Item to something and get a variable in the same line? Or do I really need to put the casted Item into a variable and then use the getters?

random oak
simple egret
#

Local variables are discarded when execution exits the method, and the fact that int is a value type, you're working on a copy, whatever variable you passed to the method won't be modified at all

simple egret
#

Note that this will throw an exception if the cast fails. If it's possible to have anything else than a MainFrogController in thata property, consider type-checking before casting it, or using is to both type-check and cast at once

# 
var item = ...;

parentheses are always great

until you get into a dumbass twitter argument where people don’t remember how math works without them

one of the worst ones was most people saying
-1^2 = 1, which is just wrong

-(1^2) 🙂

#

in all fairness, sometimes it's better to be explicit with the parentheses just so that people don't have to remember the order of operators and no random mistakes happen

- ^ 1 2

little meadow
#

the -1^2 may confuse people, because ^ is somewhat uncommon to deal with

#

(and of course we're ignoring the fact that in C# that's a bitwise xor operator and not a pow operator 😄 and I have no idea what is its order relative to the unary - 😄 )

If I remember correctly it's one of the lowest, below == so it's weird at first when you do a ^ b == 42 and it complains

Hello everybody !
I'm currently making a shooting system and i have an issue, my bullet get out of my muzzle as wanted but it is shooting not at the center of the screen, i have my gun deported of my camera and i wan't to shot my bullet where the center of my camera is.

Do you know how could i improve this script ? :

            //direction from the weapon muzzle to the weaponpoint (where the player is aiming)
            Vector3 direction = (weaponPoint.transform.position - this.gameObject.GetComponentInChildren<WeaponParts>().weaponMuzzle.transform.position).normalized;
            bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(direction * weaponSpeedBalisitic);
            bullet.AddComponent<BulletScript>();```

Hey, if somebody could help me with my FPS-Rotating that would be great.

This is my first time really programming a charactercontroller myself and not just copying a tutorial or using a free asset.
I wanted to do it myself.

    void CameraPositionSync()
    {

        Vector3 offset = head.forward * headZOffset;
        maincamera.position = head.position + offset;
        
    }

    void HandleLook()
    {
        //Rotate the player left and right based on the look input
        float XRotation = inputHandler.LookInput.x * lookSpeed;
        transform.Rotate(0, XRotation, 0);

        verticalLookRotation -= inputHandler.LookInput.y * lookSpeed;
        verticalLookRotation = Mathf.Clamp(verticalLookRotation, -UpDownRange, UpDownRange);
        maincamera.transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(verticalLookRotation, 0, 0);
    }
#

I need help, I am coding a bow that just launches an arrow then you click but I cant get it to launch in the direction I am facing, but no matter where you turn it only launches in one direction, I have an arrow placeholder which is just a placeholder for the arrow to spawn at when instantiated and the arrow prefab.

Hey not sure if the right channel but Im trying to grow a spriteshape over time. I have a script that basically does what I want with the exception of tangents. I set points to continuous tangent mode in the script but it doesn't seem to really take effect correctly.
If I go to the scene view and switch the point to linear, then back to continuous, it takes effect as I would expect. Is the missing step here that I need to calculate my own tangent points and set them in the script as well? Is there any way I can get the auto tangents the editor seems able to apply?

I got a decent enough result using those tangent functions and just estimating good tangents based on a rough heuristic.

That sounds like it's mixing this up with Random.Range (which you need to add 1 to for ints, because the int overload is max exclusive), and indexing in arrays (which you need to sometimes SUBTRACT one from, because array indexes start at 0)

In case you didn't look at those links, think of layermasks as just a series of flags, in a 32 option long list

I can't make a fullbody fps controller with Unity 😦 can you suggest a tutorial for this?

soft shard
# robust whale I can't make a fullbody fps controller with Unity 😦 can you suggest a tutorial ...

What part are you struggling with, and what have you tried already? A fullbody FPS controller is just a regular FPS controller (so any tutorial on making a FPS controller should help), only adding a rigged model and aligning the camera to the head of that model, I would suggest making sure the model you use has the head separated from the rest of the body so the head can be disabled or set to a layer not rendered by the camera to avoid clipping

robust whale
#

Every time I try, I encounter a different problem and I guess there is no tutorial

soft shard
#

Sure, try that tutorial and see if it helps you, there should be tutorials on how to use the Rigging system package, though if you cant find anything on google, then describing your specific problem, setup, and desired goal can help, that video to me, looks like they may be using regular FPS arms and rendering a full body without the head and arms separately, or their animations are very well done, as posing, and aiming with a full body character can be difficult without the arms being a separate thing from my experience

Is there some magic way to create a GameObject without having to reference copy another gameobject using Instantiate, but instead by simply creating an empty shell GameObject? The same kind you get when you create a new GameObject in hierarchy. I tried looking up "unity Instantiate without gameobject" but no luck...

#

I'm doing this because I find it a waste to go out of my way to get some empty prefab object's reference and instantiate like that, although i'll just resort to that method if needed

knotty sun
icy depot
#

I'll try that, thanks! new gameobject() seems weird to use..

knotty sun
#

why? GameObject is a C# class like any other

icy depot
#

that's really interesting, I didn't expect gameobjects to be so close

knotty sun
#

I suppose it's counter intuitive as you cannot use new() for Monobehaviours

icy depot
#

MonoBehaviour's an abstract sort of class right?

#

those types can't be created without an inheritor class, which makes sense

knotty sun
#

well, it's a bit more complicated than that because you cannot new() anything that inherits from MonoBehaviour either

icy depot
#

oh right, you can't really go new MyScript()

#

I wonder why

knotty sun
#

nope, only AddComponent

icy depot
#

maybe because the rest of the unity project has to know you added it? maybe the object it should be attached to for example

knotty sun
#

also Mono's span Managed and Unmanaged memory so there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes

icy depot
#

so the unity project has to manage the memory of the monobehaviour too

#

what sort of code prohibits newing a mono? maybe just explicit unity code?

knotty sun
#

exactly

icy depot

now that was interesting

I have a super hard time working with unity's spline package. It doesn't seem to use any of the standard unity types (Vector3, Transform, etc) instead using Unity.Mathematics.math types. I'm sure this is useful with... burst? jobs? ecs? Is there some documentation primer on how to do it?
I used a third party spline package before (which was more "unity-y" in spirit), but would like to stick to the official one, is anyone using it?

Finally got GetBounds to work with trial and error, but ideally I'd want to do something like:

  • grab the spline from the splineContainer
  • get a new spline that's a copy of the original but with y=0
leaden ice
tawdry jasper
#

I'll have a look at the mathematics package docs, thanks. I know it must be a tradeof of ease of use vs performance, but I was expecting a spline will just be a list of points I would be able to loop through and alter or copy and all of that is probably possible but through some obscure SplineUtility helpers. 🤷

Hello. Let's say I have a NiceClass niceClass serialized in my script with [ExecuteAlways] attribute. How do I add a listener to it when it was assigned in the Inspector, making sure the listener is added just once and doesn't disappear when the script is reloaded?

grave tundra
#

I need something that can create closed shapes and test points

leaden ice
#

Yep

#

Splines is the package for you

#

if you mean testing if a point is inside the closed shape, use PolygonCollider2D.

grave tundra
#

Goal is to create a weird shape with a path, then create a depth map based on that shape to modify my mesh.

leaden ice
#

not sure what you mean by that, but you've now mentioned three sets of requirements that seem different

grave tundra
#

They're all the same. I want to generate a random shape that eventually I can use to deform my mesh.

leaden ice
#

You don't need a library for that

#

the mesh deformation part will be the much harder piece

#

you essentially want CSG

#

but the "generate a shape" part - as you mentioned and from the video is just using math to generate a sequence of points.

#

If you want to be able to sample the shape anywhere along its path - that would be wha the Spline package is for.

grave tundra
#

This is all runtime generation

leaden ice
#

so what?

#

That's why I linked you to realtime CSG.

grave tundra
#

Everything done from code.

leaden ice
#

naturally

grave tundra
#

I've already written the mesh deformation piece. That CSG tool isn't applicable for me.

leaden ice
#

Ok then use splines

#

for the shape part

#

as mentioned

grave tundra

thanks. haven't used them before so got a lot of reading to do to add a bunch of curves

    do

            coordsQueue.Enqueue(coords);

    return pathMap;
}

Probably not the best solution in the world, but it works, didn't try it out for larger graphs tho (used it only for a max 21x21 board game). Could be modified to include a counter of checked nodes count, which can be later compared to some all nodes count to see if there were any nodes which were not reached. That, or just as you said, checking connections between neighbours of the node to be removed

If I set the rigidbody to Kinematic, everything works great. Initially it is set to false, and upon collision with a meteorite it is set to true, resulting in the destruction of the rocket. The problem now is that the limit no longer works because there is no rigid body that behaves as if it were dynamic. However, when I choose a dynamic rigid body, even if the gravity scale is adjusted, all the parts start to fall, or it happens that the parts do not move together. Here are all the scripts and a video.

Hmm that's interesting because kinematic usually makes it not work

lone echo
#

Yes, it's the boundary script that actually just makes a Box2D game object invisible and it needs the rigid body features, but the kinematics disables many rigid body properties and that's why the boundary script no longer recognizes my player because my player comes from an empty one Game Object has no real collider, and then when kids see the video history, they all have a rigudbody and a polygon collider, and in the playscript it was written so that the kids are the hitbox of the empty game object, but when I put the kids on in a filmic place then nothing works

#

but I still can't come up with a solution

Hey all I'm currently attempting to make an x-com like project. I have pathfinding and the like working for multiple floors, however I'm a bit stuck with props. For example, each node in my graph structure can potentially contain a character, which is fine, however what if I have a prop on the node like a box? I want to be able to get a character to jump on the box or be able to move it, destroy it etc. Would anyone have an idea as to how this could be done/what sort of data structure would be best? Right now my box is just sort of sitting in the way haha

image.png
#

I'm currently thinking that I can add a node to the top of the box at runtime and from there the node on the box can work out what neighbours it has

tardy crypt
#

How about just an array of NodeContents objects, where NodeContents defines what is in it and their relationship?

#

You could probably define the pathfinding distance from one node to another node based on their contents.

#

As well as whether there is connectivity.

somber apex
#

I was considering that too; having an array of items within a cell contents, although I'm not entirely certain how I would establish the relationship in the first place. Maybe I can get the cell to just raycast up until it hits a roof or the sky and say everything that's not those is linked up

tardy crypt
#

Yeah I guess it’s dependent on your level editor or however you generate levels. You could have the relationship be the “ground truth” of your model and place objects based on that relationship rather than placing objects first and detecting relationship based on placement…

#

So like just start with “box at 63,10” and the engine will generate and place the box that way…

somber apex
#

Yeah I could try that out too. Thanks for the information; I'll see what I can sort out

I prefer string collection instead of enums for this situation, what do you think?
I want to implement a generic class with different enums. I can use the generic one with T: Enum but if it is string, it would be so easy to handle it, it is more flexible. Another scenario is animation name/type.
What do you think?
Using enums has some limitations while string does not

// enum implementation
_animationController.Play(CharacterAnimations.Shoot)
_animationController.Play(AnimalAnimations.Eat)

public class AnimationController<T> where T:Enum{}

So, I made the cape cloth, and since i didn't know how to make those dangling thingies, to be dangled and with physics, so i made them cloth too (so you can already see it's not working as intended since it'll deform, and it's meant to be straight)

does anyone know what component do i have to use?

got this piece of code, off chatgpt
it seems to be working fine pointA and pointB share the same y position

how do i make it add a y offset perpendicular to the direction between pointA and pointB?

Posted this in mobile channel but that is very much a non active chat these days. I have a really annoying issue with the simulator resizing itself and scaling itself incorrectly when the window is resized (2022.3.X). Anyone know any fixes and / or work arounds that dont involve just randomly jiggling the window until it fixes itself?

How do u guys serialize your data?

Question, how can I make the animator to call the OnStateExit methods of its StateMachineBehaviours when the gameobject which contains the animator is disabled?

rancid frost
#

there are events for such things

#

u can set them in editor, look it up

neon plank
# rancid frost https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/script-AnimationWindowEvent.html

But I'm using state machine behaviours instead, which support write custom code which is then executed in callbacks.
Also, I'm quite sure that animation events also don't get called if the animator is disabled (they already don't get called if the state is transitioned from before it exits, unlike OnStateExit which does)

rancid frost
#

ahh I see

rancid frost
#

How do you guy save non monobehavior classes that are instantiated?
specifically classes that use unity objects such as textures materials etc

rain minnow
cosmic rain
rancid frost
#

I have created a main scriptableobject which contains all the textures to be used and creates a unique ID for said textures...
then I simply serialize the ids.

However, said instances are instances of an INTERFACE...so JsonUtility cannot be used

Yes, its runtime

cosmic rain
#

You can override the serialization logic of the JsonUtility for the desired objects.

#

If you generate new textures and want to save them, you'll need to save them as PNG or something similar probably. As for materials, create a custom class to serialize and recreate a new material from it on loading.

rancid frost
#

Im not generate new mats or textures

cosmic rain
#

Then just save the IDs

rancid frost
#

How would I know the type before deserialization/

cosmic rain
#

serialize the type as well

#

If it's really needed. Because if you override the serialization, you should have control over what and how you serialize/deserialize.

rancid frost
#

where can i find more info on the override? cant see on internet

cosmic rain
neon plank
#

Anyway, OnDisable seems to work in this behaviours

heady iris
#

Yeah, use OnDisable.

#

OnStateExit is called when you exit the state (and only when you exit the state)

Does anyone have a good resource for limiting framerate without disabling vsync? I'm handling it like this right now for end users but I really would like to not have to disable vsync if it's possible. Trying to find good info online on this topic is like trying to bleed a stone 😅

project settings you can limit frame rate

cold minnow
# latent latch project settings you can limit frame rate

I appreciate the time. Yeah this is all I'm able to find on the matter, but this either requires disabling Vsync or using arbitrary values based on screen refresh rates. I'm looking for ways to limit to 30 or 60fps regardless of the screen refresh and without disabling vsync 🤔 Such a pain that this isn't more simple to do

Application.targetFrameRate is all you need

I move my character's arm with the help of a target. this target moves with raycast, but this method does not work when it does not touch a different object. How can I do it with a method?

Ray ray = new Ray(transform.position, transform.forward);
if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out RaycastHit hit)) {
  aimTarget.position = Vector3.Lerp(aimTarget.position, hit.point, 10f * Time.deltaTime);
}
#

try this;

            float lookX = playerInput.lookX * mouseSensivity * Time.deltaTime;
            float lookY = playerInput.lookY * mouseSensivity * Time.deltaTime;

            transform.position = cameraRoot.position;

            xRotation -= lookY;
            xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90f, 90f);

            transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0f, 0f);
            playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * lookX);

or you can use the same Lerp thing you have currently just use ray.GetPoint(100) in place of hit.point

well how far is the thing you're hittin when you switch over to not hitting anything?

It looks like your raycast distance is unlimited right?

try a further distance like 1000 and see if that's any smoother

Any alternatives to ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory for unity that I can yield from using coroutines? Using webgl and apparently I can't use async operations.

oh no js

I guess that's what it's looking like. Itch.io requires a lot more internal zipping as it'll not accept all of it in your streaming assets.

elfin tree
#

Anyone has or know where to find a code snippet of a rigidbody following a transform using .AddForce(), seems like there's a few things that would go into doing this and I can't quite wrap my head around it.

leaden ice
#

are you trying to make it intercept the target?

#

Or keep a specific distance or offset?

#

or what

#

It's a second level derivative problem because:

  • What you want to change is position
  • What addforce directly changes is actually velocity, which later changes position over time
elfin tree
#

I'm thinking about having multiple entities following each other making a compeling line, so the 'leader' just goes at a set speed and be non physic based, could implement some wait if it's too far away or whatever

each individual has a set max speed, so no offset, it just tries it's best to keep up
i can do that fine using MovePosition but it defeats the purpose

leaden ice
#

The basic idea though is you figure out the desired velocity you need (based on position and direction to the target), compare that with your current velocity, then apply a force to correct that discrepancy

#

Like for example, in FixedUpdate

Vector3 targetPos = target.position;
Vector3 currentPos = rb.position;
Vector3 direction = targetPos - currentPos;
Vector3 desiredVelocity = direction.normalized * maxSpeed;

Vector3 currentVelocity = rb.velocity;
Vector3 desiredVelocityChange = desiredVelocity - currentVelocity;

// The most we could change velocity given our max available thrust force.
Vector3 bestVelocityChange = Time.fixedDeltaTime / rb.mass * maxThrustForce * desiredVelocityChange.normalized;

Vector3 actualVelocityChange = Vector3.ClampMagnitude(bestVelocityChange, desiredVelocityChange.magnitude); // don't change more than needed

rb.AddForce(actualVelocityChange, ForceMode.VelocityChange);```
I used ForceMode.VelocityChange here but factored in deltaTime and mass manually so it's effectively a normal AddForce.
#

I made this very verbose too, to try to make it easier to read/understand

i also tried Stop() beforehand but that did nothing

it was

#

take concrete debugging steps like adding log statements

#

You seemingly have not done so yet.

tawny elm
#

log statements have one come up for each of the loaded videos

#

so its definitely finding them

leaden ice
#

I don't see any logs in your code

tawny elm

just doesnt stop anything

yeah well i didn thave them in there when i did that because i was changing it around a lot

Well boyz, I did it!,

I finally serialized my custom class...only took me 1 week 🙂

leaden ice
#

otherwise we will waste time following down the wrong path

tawny elm
#

well how about lets get to what im meant to do now

leaden ice
#

So you have verified that your objects are actually being found?

tawny elm
#

yes

#

i said so

leaden ice
#

not until just now

#

if so, calling Stop() on them should stop them

tawny elm
#

i already said that doesnt stop them

leaden ice
#

Then perhaps you're calling it on the wrong objects, or perhaps you have some other code restarting them

#

or maybe you have some errors happening

tawny elm
#

theres no errors

#

i already said that one

#

When and where is this code running

and when and where do the videos start playing

Can I ask why you directly reference the object for the play button but the stop button calls this code that finds it by tag?

I tried checking if this works in my interactor script, i declared testing as public Vector3 testing = new Vector3(40, 0, 0); and hooked it to the click thingy and it worked if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Mouse0)) { interactable.onInteract.Invoke(); Debug.Log("Toggled"); // Apply the rotation interactable.transform.Rotate(testing); but now that I know I could put variable thingy inside the transform brackets, I do not know how to link this thing to the transform command earlier ```
public Dictionary<int, Vector3> rotationDictionary = new Dictionary<int, Vector3>();

void Start()
{
    rotationDictionary.Add(1, new Vector3(-30, 0, 0));
    rotationDictionary.Add(2, new Vector3(20, 0, 0));
    rotationDictionary.Add(3, new Vector3(0, -10, 0));
}``` I assigned int in my interactable script so that I could link it to my interactable's itemID, but dont know how it would interact inside the interactor script, or how would he dctionary reference the itemID to the int inside the dictionary
rigid island
faint nimbus
#

I am not good with words, if ok UnityChanDown

rigid island
#

its fine, just need to know more or less the game mechanic

#

or what you want it to do

faint nimbus
#

I want to connect itemIDs int from interactable to interactor's dictionary, but dont know how, and I want to connect dictionary to interactable.transform.Rotate(dictionary maybe);

#

it is like, there are cars, carpets and brooms in the scene, i want cars to rotate rotationDictionary.Add(1, new Vector3(-30, 0, 0)); and carpets to rotate as rotationDictionary.Add(2, new Vector3(20, 0, 0)); and brooms to rotate as rotationDictionary.Add(3, new Vector3(0, -10, 0));

#

it happens on click

#

and I want to assign if they are 1,2, or 3 (itemID inside interactable) to know if they are cars, carpets or brooms

#

and I used dictionary to store how they would rotate

#

but dont know how to link them together UnityChanDown

#

I could assign 2 to a car (using interactable's itemID) and it would rotate like how a carpet would rotate etc (using dictionary)

#

but i dont know how to make them work together

#

is ok? or confusing UnityChanThink

rigid island
faint nimbus
rigid island
#

oh so do you have reference/access to the script ?

faint nimbus
#

hmm, it is like, I dont know how the value of interactable's itemID relate to interactor's dictionary to change the interactable's position

rigid island
#

I dont even know what these itemIDs are for , why not use enums

#

make it more explicit whats wat

#

I still don't get the

I could assign 2 to a car (using interactable's itemID) and it would rotate like how a carpet would rotate etc (using dictionary)

#

so you want the rotations to be inside the dictionary and then you pullup the rotation stored?

faint nimbus
#

i plan to match it with interactor's dictionary of 1,2 and 3

#

but dont know how they can meet or work together

#

so that interactable can use dictionary's x y and z

faint nimbus
rigid island
#

myRotation = Quaternion.Euler(rotationDictionary[id])

faint nimbus
#

ah, is it inside interactor?

rigid island
faint nimbus
#

interactable.transform.Rotate(xyz); this is the code that makes it rotate when clicked

rigid island
#

or use transform.Rotate(rotationDictionary[id])

#

right

faint nimbus
#

can I use Transform.Rotate(rotationDictionary[itemID])?

rigid island
faint nimbus
#

but it is in interactable, would it find it?

rigid island
#

that is how you access your V3 values

rigid island
faint nimbus
#

ah, how do we reference other scripts?

#

is like this? public Interactable interactable;

rigid island
#

exactly thats a reference

#

you just need to assign it

faint nimbus
#

ah it makes sense noww

#

I think I know how to get from other scripts now, I will try

rigid island
#

sure thing! lmk if you have any issues

faint nimbus
#

okok UnityChanOkay

#

hmm, why wont it find it? interactable.transform.Rotate(rotationDictionary[itemID]); in interactable, I have public int itemID

leaden ice
faint nimbus
leaden ice
#

what

faint nimbus
#

but i need transform thingy

heady iris
#

itemID is an integer

#

you can't invoke an integer

#

this syntax is very wrong

#

you're trying to use the indexer operator on rotationDictionary with no parameter, which is invalid

faint nimbus
#

sorry, I dont know UnityChanDown I'm trying

heady iris
#

don't just randomly mash syntax together

#

think about each step individually

#

first, you need to get the item ID

#

where does the item ID come from?

faint nimbus
#

ah

#

interactable.transform.Rotate(rotationDictionary[interactable.itemID]);

#

is ok?

heady iris
#

That looks reasonable, yes.

#

You get itemID from interactable and use that to index rotationDictionary

#

then you pass the result to Rotate

faint nimbus
#

I thought the way parenthesis work, it would try and get something from it, and put it inside the [], i got confused

i will try

In any case, you can give your listener an actual method, then just add/remove it normally (which you probably should do) in onenable and ondisable

  joinButton.onClick.AddListener(ClickHandler);
}

You ever zone out so unbelievably hard that you start doing "is not less than" operators.

        rotationDictionary.Add(1, (new Vector3(-60, 0, 0), new Vector3(60, 0, 0))); // Example values for item type 1
        rotationDictionary.Add(2, (new Vector3(20, 0, 0), new Vector3(0, 0, 0))); // Example values for item type 2
        rotationDictionary.Add(3, (new Vector3(0, -10, 0), new Vector3(0, 0, 0))); // Example values for item type 3
    }``` how do I set this up to make it not add or subtract it everytime it happens (to prevent bugs of it overflipping), instead, set it to that vector? like if I click it when on, it will be on that position no matter how many times i click it
#

is it because it is .add which is why it adds the vector?

#

can it be .set? i am not sure what to put

Hi, I have game events that get activated when the player goes through a collider trigger, and the game events follow a path by the waypoint system. But my problem is that they all activate at the start of the game prematurely. How do I fix this? I don't know what's causing this. The code is below: ```

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

public class IncomingCar : MonoBehaviour
{
[SerializeField] private GameObject pedestrian = null;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
pedestrian.SetActive(false);
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{

}

private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider Other)
{
    if (Other.CompareTag("Player"))
    {
        pedestrian.SetActive(true);
    }
}

}```

oh wait

#

sorry misunderstood ur question

faint nimbus
wet wadi
#

yeah pedestrian is the event thing that follows the waypoint

spring creek
# wet wadi yeah pedestrian is the event thing that follows the waypoint

Ok, then the issue is probably that pedestrian starts awake. You can set it to disabled in the inspector before runtime so it STARTS disabled.
Start runs after Awake and OnEnable.
Not sure how pedestrian is supposed to work, but if stuff happens in OnEnable, then disabling it in start is too late

#

SetActive can't be moved to the inspector

#

Or just use ACTUAL events, which are called in OnTriggerEnter

One sec

wet wadi
#

oh okay yeah the place i work at calls it "events" cause my boss ain't a unity person

#

i'll look at that too

#

the fix seems to work

#

thanks

spring creek
#

And they exist in many programming languages too

wet wadi
#

my boss isn't a coder person either

I have a question about coroutines: between these two yield statements, would this segment of code be executed every frame or would it just be executed once?

somber nacelle
#

unless you have a loop or start multiple instances of the coroutine then that code executes only once

frosty widget
#

ok thank you

#

any suggestions on how I would make that segment of code loop over a certain time period?

#

genuine question, do i have to unsubscribe my event when using UnityEvent?

cosmic rain
sullen drift
#

what if i assign it through only inspector, not script?

#

do i still need to unsubscribe?

            {
                interactable.onInteract.Invoke();
                Debug.Log("Toggled");
                ///interactable.isOn = !interactable.isOn;
                // Get the rotation settings based on item type
                (Vector3 onRotation, Vector3 offRotation) rotationSettings = rotationDictionary[interactable.itemType];

                // Select the appropriate rotation based on the isOn state
                Vector3 rotationValue = interactable.isOn ? rotationSettings.onRotation : rotationSettings.offRotation;

                // Apply the rotation
                interactable.transform.Rotate(rotationValue);```
#

I thought the dictionary was the problem because it has .add

spring creek
cosmic rain
faint nimbus
#

got confused

spring creek
#

It's just essentially a list (not quite) of key value pairs

faint nimbus
#

a bit confused with terms, but i think I get it now UnityChanOkay like .add is to put things inside dictionaries but doesnt really do math commands

#

like add to bookmarks

also, when i do this interactable.isOn = !interactable.isOn; here on

            {
                interactable.onInteract.Invoke();
                Debug.Log("Toggled");
                ///interactable.isOn = !interactable.isOn;
                // Get the rotation settings based on item type
                (Vector3 onRotation, Vector3 offRotation) rotationSettings = rotationDictionary[interactable.itemType];

                // Select the appropriate rotation based on the isOn state
                Vector3 rotationValue = interactable.isOn ? rotationSettings.onRotation : rotationSettings.offRotation;

                // Apply the rotation
                interactable.transform.Rotate(rotationValue);
            }
        }```
it is ok and works fine, but i need to make it so it doesnt flip first without the toggle commands if it is always on so there wont be bugs, like set the xyz to the assigned dictionary and not flip it over and over, but not sure what is causing the adding or flipping over and over, but i have a feeling it is ``interactable.transform.Rotate(rotationValue);`` since it is ".Rotate" and not something like setxyz, i do not know what the function is

Do RigidBodies have a calculatable velocity when the object is being animated?

#

Or would I have to manually calculate per frame if I wanted a velocity to persist when object's being animated too e.e

tall salmon
#

does someone know why my gameobject doesnt move?
this is the code

#

i tried to also move it with the input system and actions but i cant manage to make it work

tall salmon
#

just changed it and it doesnt work still

fervent furnace
#

code beginner problem
also dont use getXXdown and up in fixed update

spring creek

#

Floats and Vector2s are value types so you need to keep updating them, since you are working with copies. The line in Start will not magically make movement always use those valus

fervent furnace
#

or any function that not running at the rate as update()

tall salmon
spring creek
tall salmon
spring creek
#

FixedUpdate runs at the physics cadence

#

It may happen less than the frame rate

#

Meaning it misses the input entirely

tall salmon
#

so i should change it to Update?

spring creek
#

Yes

#

Always for input

tall salmon
#

alright

spring creek
#

You can get away with it for multiframe input, but not single

tall salmon
#

ill try rn and tell you how it goes

#

i did it but it still doesnt work

frosty widget
spring creek
#

Like I said, just yield return null

frosty widget
#

oh ok

spring creek
#

You are allocating a new WaitForSecons each loop otherwise

#

But other than that, yeah that's what I meant

tall salmon
hexed pecan
# tall salmon

Better update velocity after updating input, not before

#

Otherwise you are working with last frame's input basically

tall salmon
#

but even if i getkeydown it still doesnt do it

hexed pecan
#

Hmm also dont think you should use deltatime here

tall salmon
tall salmon
fervent furnace
#

a frame delay between each input
btw velocity is m/s if you multiply it with s then it becomes m which is displacement

tall salmon
#

it works now

#

i just need to mess a bit with how it works because it glides

#

since i havent made up a good way to make horizontal and vertical = 0 (i think)

orchid abyss
hexed pecan
tall salmon

#

GetKeyDown is true for 1 frame only. So that else is true for all other frames

#

GetAxis/GetAxis exists too btw

#

Using Vertical and Horizontal axis is pretty common

tall salmon
#

yeah my friend is using those but i want to start as basic as possible

tall salmon
#

so how should i fix it?

#

im thinking of making another variant that is getKeyUp ?

hexed pecan
#

I mean, GetAxis would be simpler

#

Or you can add even more if statements yes

tall salmon
#

i dont know what GetAxis is

#

i´ve heard about it but i dont know how it works

hexed pecan
#

(GetAxisRaw if you dont want input smoothing)
