Ah, hmm

Hmmm I wanted to ask if raycast shooting is easier than rigidbody shooting?

#

Using Phyisics has been a pain honestly

#

Constant glitches where the player character moves back or force rocking the character back and fourth

#

Assuming you're referring to a sweep test when saying rb shooting.

#

Or are referring to actual shooting mechanic?

#

Like how to detect bullet hits.

I know I said it would take a while to rewrite the radar script, but I rewrote it for UI. Now I'm gonna ask how I can turn it into a render texture in #💻┃unity-talk.

Sorry if this code looks messy XD But I need a bit of help
So I have a problem where the player would leave an island, it would do the leave anim which just moves the island model by the X axis to the right, and then when done it sets it as deactivated and moves it to inactiveXPos (-15 x), but sometimes if the player returned to the island quick enough, the island would start the anim and instead of coming in from the left, it came in from the right.
I'm trying to fix it by pre-emptively setting the island models X to -15 inactiveXPos and THEN running the animation, but for some reason, even when it sets the position correctly, it still comes in from the right side?

Pastebin
// --Island Anims-- public void IslandEnter() { //...

Pastebin.com is the number one paste tool since 2002. Pastebin is a website where you can store text online for a set period of time.

#

This debug log shows that the island pos was incorrect at first, then set to the correct X pos, but even though from the players perspective -15 X is to the left of the camera, the island STILL comes in from the right

image.png
#

(Yes for my leave animation I have it set the models X to inactiveXPos when the animation is done, the problem is if the player returns to the island before the animtion is done, the island comes in from the right side instead of the left)

Its top down, Moveposition was a mess T_T

I can try a few more

Anyways, saying that something is a mess is not really productive. Sounds like you didn't debug the issue or research the topic properly.

#

If asking in this channel you're expected to be able to do that.

My project started to regularly take an enormous amount of time to reload stuff 2 days into a game jam. Is this normal? I suspect my big map, but that wouldn't have anything to do with the scripts?

#

Do I do that with VS or inside unity?

#

Is there a drawback when I use an IEnumerator to check a specific value in another class every second or can I just do it in FixedUpdate? (60 calls a second of like 50 objects maybe)

i am so done with this shit

this is what i want it to do basically

quartz folio
#

DeserializeObject(jsonResponse, rootType);

#

but you will get object back

lyric moon
#

how do i make object my type

#

do i just cast it

quartz folio
#

Yes

lyric moon
#

wait how do i cast it without knowing what it is

#

to cast it i still have to type the exact type instead of getting it elsewhere which defeats the purpose 😭

leaden ice
#

What are you trying to do?

lyric moon
#

i have a list of types im iterating through

#

for each one im downloading a file with the name of that type

#

which is JSON

#

and then im trying to deserialize that json to a class inside that type

#

but i cant really access the types in the list to get that type for each

leaden ice
#

What are you doing with the objects after they're deserialized?

lyric moon
#

you see the null in the dictionary

#

the objects

#

thats where im putting the deserialized one

leaden ice
#

Ok I don't see the issue then

#

What part can't you do here?

lyric moon
#

well i cant deserialize without knowing the type

#

so i wanted to get the deserialize class from the type itself

#

but i cant since its just a type

leaden ice
#

You would need the name or something yes, you'll need to encode that somehow in your data

latent latch
#

some interface maybe

leaden ice
#

You need to either store the name separately or do some partial deserialization to get the type name first before parsing the rest. Neatonsoft JSON can handle that with the JObject API

lyric moon
#

im gonna try replacing the type in the dictionary with a new class that holds both types

#

maybe

like this

Hey guys

#

Modding question

#

If I want something to be moddable, does that bar me from using enums?

#

The situation is that magazines in my game can be modded, currently the magazine well checks the entering magazine for compatability using an enum

#

Are users going to be able to mod new enum entries in? Or do I need to swap that system out to use a string

lyric moon
#

i havent seen people be able to add new enum entries in before

#

so probably not possible

runic nimbus
#

Okay. Will change. Thanks

I got a sniper scope that uses a render texture prefab to give it that scope effect which works. however in multiplayer, if two or more players have the scope out, it only tracks the master clients. I know it's beacuse theres only one render texture but how can i make it so it makes its own render texture for each player?

Hello.
I want to use the Unity C# reference code, specifically the Mathf and VectorX classes in an open source project. I did some changes to the code.
Does the Unity reference code license allow this?
What if I keep the license there?
What about keeping the API, and implement my own versions of the classes?

thin aurora
#

You can use the type parameter instead but you will have an object like vertx mentioned. But the generic type parameter should also exist

My current knowledge of saving data to and loading from disk is from a brackeys video about binary formatters. Is there a better/simpler way nowadays?

west lotus
#

Json

#

Binary formatter is deprecated by microsoft since it is unsecured

steel quartz
#

I see, is there a good tutorial about that? I know the last one I tried didn't work. (Whispers: Or I didn't work)

thin aurora
#

Look up JSON.NET or Newtonsoft. I'm sure there's plenty of videos, especially for Unity

steel quartz
#

kk thx

#

Sure hope it's not the same tutorial heh

thin aurora
#

There's also JsonUtility which I advice against but this is in Unity by default. It's not that good because of compatibility stuff I guess

Ah okay

Ye mbmb

thin aurora
#

Well your predicate is kind of complex for what it does

#

Why check if it's false? Why not turn it around and make it more readable?

latent latch
#

you can probably remove a not somewhere to make it less complex

steel quartz
#

I've seen it turned around and thought this would be more compact for what it does

knotty sun
# steel quartz Why

because you are always replacing Instance. The point of a Singleton is the first one should be saved and any other should be destroyed

steel quartz
#

No that's not happening

#

Unless I made another typo

#

wait

#

I made a typo didnt i

#

wait

latent latch
#

half sleep but im pretty sure you can demorgan's law that

steel quartz
#

Is the if(Instance == null) Instance = this; enough?

thin aurora
#

Sure

#

Also maybe log an error informing of any extra instances, and destroy the invalid one

steel quartz
#

I feel like I made a typo am tryin to find out where

knotty sun
thin aurora
steel quartz
#

I see

#

Now that one was personal

#

jk you're right for this one

thin aurora
#

It's just that stuff like singletons are one of the earlier things you'd learn

steel quartz
#

Followed beans link to this didnt even think of where to go

#

Yes indeed

latent latch
#

Does setting a bitwise enum to all entries in the editor set all 32 bits or only what entries that enum has? And, on that note, is there any quick method to set all entries bits of a specific enum, or do I just loop through them all and set em?

knotty sun
latent latch
#

Ah, ok ty. I prefer the 0s as I'm casting them to other enums

I apologise if this code is really bad, this is my first time trying to make something work for mobile, but does anyone know why this function accelerates forward movement? I'm trying to get it to just change the direction or jump

void HandleMobileInput()
{
   if (Input.touchCount>0)
   {
       Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
       if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Began)
       {
           touchStartPosition = touch.position;
           
       } 
       else if (touch.phase == TouchPhase.Moved || touch.phase == TouchPhase.Ended)
       {
           if (controller.isGrounded)
           {

               animator.SetBool("running", IsRunning(movement));

               touchEndPosition = touch.position;
               float x = touchEndPosition.x - touchStartPosition.x;
               float y = touchEndPosition.y - touchStartPosition.y;

               if (Mathf.Abs(x) < 0.1 && Mathf.Abs(y) < 0.1)
               {
                   StartCoroutine(Jump());
               }
               else
               {
                   float swipeDelta = touch.deltaPosition.x * swipeSpeed;
                   float horizontalInput = Mathf.Sign(swipeDelta);
                   float rotationAmount = rotationSpeed * horizontalInput * Time.deltaTime;
                   turn = transform.up * rotationSpeed * horizontalInput;
               }
           }

           movement = transform.forward * speed;
           controller.Move(movement * Time.deltaTime);
           transform.Rotate(turn * Time.deltaTime);
       }
   }
}

You can set the forward vector probably

versed spade
arctic plume
steel quartz
#

Do they change direction?

arctic plume
#

Yeah they change direction

#

Just they're moving much faster whenever any input is detected and I'm not sure why
And the faster movement is causing a lot of issues with the flow of the game

steel quartz
#

okay first of all, you should always put the vector to the end of the eqation

#

When you add more numbers it's faster in calculating

#

uhh haven't figured it out yet sry

arctic plume
#

No worries

steel quartz
#

What is the jump coroutine doing?

arctic plume
# 
    public IEnumerator Jump()
    { 
        jumping = true;
        movement.y = jumpHeight;
        animator.SetBool("jumping", true);
        yield return new WaitUntil(() => controller.isGrounded);
        animator.SetBool("jumping", false);
        jumping = false;
        animator.SetBool("running", true);
    }
plucky inlet
# arctic plume ``` public IEnumerator Jump() { jumping = true; movemen...

So from what I see, you always move the character as long as the touchphase has ended. You should really set some debug logs to see, whats happening. As long as the touch is present but ended, you are moving your character with the transform.forward and speed, which i assume will never be zero?

arctic plume
#

Yes correct, it's similar to a game like temple run or subway surfer (except more control over direction rather than just switching invisible lanes)

# knotty sun Convert.ToInt32

Don't use Convert class for conversions, use the parse methods that exist on a type, such as int.Parse @broken trail

broken trail
thin aurora

Convert has weird behavior that results in conversions for values you might not expect. If you want to make sure no exception is thrown use int.TryParse instead

I have a question

Lets say i have a lot of instances of the card class in the "Hand" list, some of the cards are identical, and i need to check if the list has a specific instance of card in my hand

Does List.contains(Class) return true if it finds any identical class, or only if it finds the specific instance of it?

image.png
knotty sun
#

specific instance

marsh mesa
#

Ok, good, thanks!

#

I figured so, since classes are reference types, but i just wanted to double check

thin aurora
# marsh mesa I have a question Lets say i have a lot of instances of the card class in the "...

By default it will check by reference, so the instances must match. However, like many other things you can override the equality check that is done and have it check for data. This is often better, and it might also work in your case. For example, if your card is a specific face and suit and you want to check that instead, you can implement a custom Equals method that specifies how it must compare against another card.
See here: https://github.com/microsoft/referencesource/blob/master/mscorlib/system/collections/generic/list.cs#L316
Note the method specifies this specifically.

marsh mesa
#

Ohhhh, i see

#

thanks a ton!

#

In my case i care about the instance, so it works good by default

thin aurora
#

All good, just FYI since overriding these things can make your life a lot easier

marsh mesa
#

yeah, i;ll keep that in mind

chilly surge
#

If you want a class to have value semantics, using a record is really nice because compiler implements all of those boilerplate (Equals, GetHashCode, ==, !=, etc) for you.

somber nacelle
#

note that unity doesn't quite have full support for records though

chilly surge
#

Wdym? You just need to add a stub attribute for the compiler and that's all.

#

Unless you are talking about record struct, in which case yeah Unity's C# version is too low to support that.

why is my assetbundle not replacing?
if a bundle is already installed and then i try to update it with a new downloaded one it just... says it does but the file itself didnt even change

#

you can see it downloaded it at 00:33 (12:33)
but the bundle itself (i went and found where they store them in LocalLow) clearly is still the old one from 12:10

image.png image.png
#

if i delete that file, it downloads the new one

#

but i want to replace the old one with the new one in game.. why tf does it not replace

#

its not like that bundle is loaded when it goes to download the new one

marsh mesa
#

Can i make it so a function's override takes input even tho the base one doesnt?

image.png image.png
knotty sun
#

it's only an override if the signature is the same, if you are changing parameters no override is necessary

Oh, okay then

I have code that, when triggered, causes an NPC to move in a constant direction for 0.5 seconds in what is supposed to be a dodge. Once the 0.5 seconds are up, the NPC is supposed to have moved (almost) exactly 2.5 meters before the "dodge animation" ends and the AI is free to make decisions again. While the code manages to do this just fine when I set the velocity to a constant rate and just wait for the timer to expire like so

    {
        //Run dodge queue
        //It's not important right now how dodgeQueue is tripped. Just that it is
        if (!anim.GetBool("Dodge") && dodgeQueue)
        {
            //Animation reset
            anim.Play("Idle");
            anim.SetBool("Dodge", true);

            //Variable assignment
            dodgePercent = 0;
            startPosition = transform.position;
            rb.velocity = CalculateDodge(enemyMovement.maxAcceleration);

            //Queue reset
            attackQueue = false;
            dodgeQueue = false;
        }
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        //Dodge "animation" goes here
        if (anim.GetBool("Dodge"))
        {
            //End "animation"
            if (dodgePercent >= DODGE_TIME)
            {
                print("Dodge complete. Distance from target is " + Vector3.Distance(target.position, transform.position) + " and distance from start is " + Vector3.Distance(startPosition, transform.position));
                anim.SetBool("Dodge", false);
                rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
            }

            //Increment dodge percent
            dodgePercent += Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }```
#

For what ever reason, I can't get the NPC to move the full 2.5 meters when I have it moving at a decaying rate based on formulas I was lead to believe should work. It always stops short at 2.4 meters before ending the "animation" and I don't know where the missing 0.1 meters went. Where did it go and how do I fix the code so that it shows back up again?

    {
        //Run dodge queue
        //It's not important right now how dodgeQueue is tripped. Just that it is
        if (!anim.GetBool("Dodge") && dodgeQueue)
        {
            //Animation reset
            anim.Play("Idle");
            anim.SetBool("Dodge", true);

            //Variable assignment
            dodgePercent = 0;
            startPosition = transform.position;

            //DODGE_DISTANCE = 2.5, DODGE_TIME = 0.5
            rb.velocity = CalculateDodge(enemyMovement.maxAcceleration).normalized * Mathf.Sqrt(2 * (2 * DODGE_DISTANCE / Mathf.Pow(DODGE_TIME, 2)) * DODGE_DISTANCE);

            //Queue reset
            attackQueue = false;
            dodgeQueue = false;
        }
    }

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        //Dodge "animation" goes here
        if (anim.GetBool("Dodge"))
        {
            //This is supposed to be the decay rate allowing me to complete the dodge in 0.5 seconds and still allowing me to travel 2.5 meters
            rb.velocity -= rb.velocity.normalized * (2 * DODGE_DISTANCE / Mathf.Pow(DODGE_TIME, 2)) * Time.deltaTime;

            //End "animation"
            if (dodgePercent >= DODGE_TIME)
            {
                print("Dodge complete. Distance from target is " + Vector3.Distance(target.position, transform.position) + " and distance from start is " + Vector3.Distance(startPosition, transform.position));
                anim.SetBool("Dodge", false);
                rb.velocity = Vector3.zero;
            }

            //Increment dodge percent
            dodgePercent += Time.deltaTime;
        }
    }```

they said "use naming conventions"

#

"use camal casing"

#

i said "type casing"

#

this cant be a sin

image.png
chilly surge
#

It's called Hungarian notation.

meager pendant
#

why

knotty sun
#

It's not a 'sin', it's jusr pointless

meager pendant
#

i just think my code looks cooler and is more readable when i use that

knotty sun
#

do you know why hungarian notation was invented in the first place?

chilly surge
#

It's very much not a thing in the C# world, and generally considered not good anymore.

leaden ice
#

Sure you're just going to have trouble collaborating with other C# programmers

meager pendant
#

in older languages it wasnt as easy as it is now

meager pendant
#

i use camal casing

#

i just add a type

#

When it comes to methods its standard practice

#

so it shouldnt matter

knotty sun
chilly surge
#

(Somewhat related to the whole var vs explicit type thing, most of the time type does not impact code readability)

meager pendant
#

i just like how it looks

#

and thats only in private variables

#

public ones use standard casing

chilly surge
#

I mean it's completely fine if you are working alone, it's your code and you can do whatever you want.

#

You only have problem when collaborating with other people, because there are a set of conventions everyone follows while you are going against it.

meager pendant
#

for public methods and variables

#

its standard camal casing and pascal casing

chilly surge
#

Classes are PascalCase, methods are PascalCase, local variables are camelCase, private fields are _camelCase.

#

Your main class and all the private fields already broken conventions.

meager pendant
#

private fields are _camel

#

i just add the type cause i like how it looks

#

its at most a 3 character difference

#

to what it would be normally

chilly surge
#

You don't have to justify your decisions to me, if it makes you happy then go for it 😄

thin aurora
#

I would hate having to type out a variable's type before its name every time I were to use it

#

What a waste of time when my IDE just points out the type

chilly surge
#

I'm just pointing out that others might not be quite happy to deal with code like that.

thin aurora
#

In all seriousness I think SteveSmith hit the nail on the head. This was useful back when there wasn't an IDE to support you with its intellisense but now it's pointless

knotty sun
#

tbh IDE's have made almost all conventions pointless, the ONLY thing which is important is consistency

chilly surge
#

Only partly, there are still situations where you need to read code without the help of an IDE, eg during code review on GitHub or something.

#

Conventions like localVariable vs _privateField vs PublicProperty are still very useful, because modifying them have very different implications and those mistakes do not get prevented by compiler.

}``` One editor is always updated and shows the correct value (value change triggered by mouse event), the other only if it gains focus (value change triggered by key input). For test I bind both editor to OnValueChange event of the network variable. The value is changed correctly in any editor, but one of the editor UI not updated. Any idea why this could be happend?

Solved my EditorUI update problem by mark it dirty when the OnValueChange event has been occured without changing anything. Strange behaviour ...

the text is only numbers but when i try to convert it into a ulong i get this error please help

leaden ice
ocean nova
#

when i use tryparse

#

i only get 0

leaden ice
#

Yes you're ignoring the return value of tryparse

#

That only confirms that it's not able to be parsed

ocean nova
#

oh

leaden ice
#

You need to print the length of the string and confirm it matches what you think

#

It might have invisible unparseable characters

#

After that double check the number is within range for ulong

#

Hard to tell without counting the digits

ocean nova
#

what is the range of a ulong

leaden ice
#

Google that exact sentence

ocean nova
#

i think ill be fine

#

the number is only 18 digits

leaden ice
#

Ok then it's likely the invisible characters thing

ocean nova
#

how would i get rid of them through the code tho

#

is there a way

leaden ice
#

Of course

#

which is

#

ok

theres 1 extra character

#

#

finally got it to work

knotty sun
#

that's not possible

thick terrace
#

to achieve what?

#

this kind of thing is why games have login systems and stuff like that, you can't do it anonymously in game code because it's impossible to make game code secret from the player

knotty sun
#

if you want totally secure you will need a server and to access the API via that

chilly surge
#

You will be able to ban that specific user.

knotty sun
#

There are ways but they are pretty complicated. I'm guessing in your case you would just limit the scope of the calls between the client and the server so only the server know which api calls are actually being made, it very much depends on what the apis are as to how far you go in security

thick terrace
#

you haven't said what the API is for, but normally you want to apply various authentication rules based on the player's identity like only being able to modify your own data

chilly surge
#

There is no way for you to know if the request you received comes from a genuine client or a fake one that just submits whatever score it wants.

#

The best you can do is to analyze the behavior of the requests (eg score obviously cannot be over 9000, a player cannot submit 2 scores in succession that's shorter than the length of a game) and punish the cheaters.

#

Which goes without saying, the only way you can do that (analyze requests, punish cheaters, etc) is to have the leaderboard behind your own backend.

waxen kayak
#

Does anyone have any idea about why this happens

#

so I have a turret

#

that needs to turn in the direction of my key

#

and

#

I'm calculating the angle with fromtorotation, and it seems to be mirrored around an axis

leaden ice
waxen kayak
# 
Vector3 dir = (Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - selectedTurret.transform.position).normalized;
selectedTurret.targetRotation.Value = Quaternion.FromToRotation( dir, -selectedTurret.transform.up).eulerAngles.z;

this is the how the angle is calculated

leaden ice
#

share details of those things

leaden ice
#

it doesn't give the target rotation

waxen kayak
#

targetRotation is the z euler angle of the turret

leaden ice
#

the target rotation would be like Quaternion.AngleAxis(Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x), Vector3.forward)

waxen kayak
leaden ice
#

again you're getting the difference in rotation ebtween its current rotation and the desired rotation

#

what you actually want is just the desired rotation

dawn nebula
#

Do you guys ever have Monobehaviours that represent just data? Like there's no visual component and it's not a manager (you can have many).

Like imagine you have a goblin in a turn based RPG. You have a class that controls its logic and another than is just the visual. Would you keep the logic in just C# land? No monobehaviour?

leaden ice
#

based on the name "targetRotation" at least

#

no idea how that part of the code works, but presumably it wants the target rotation

rigid island
leaden ice
waxen kayak
#

if that makes sense

leaden ice
waxen kayak
#

I did

leaden ice
#

you're getting the diff and you actually need just the target

#

another problem here is you're normalizing a 3D vector that might not be flat on the XY plane and that FromToRotation is going to give a quaternion with potentially gimbal-locked z axis rotation

waxen kayak
#

it's happening in 2d

dawn nebula
leaden ice
#

and yet your code is doing what I said

#

you don't get to ignore the z axis because your game is 3D

#

Print this vector:

Vector3 dir = (Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition) - selectedTurret.transform.position).normalized;```
#

you will see what I mean

#

you would want this to be something like (x, y, 0) but it's not going to have 0 as the z

rigid island
dawn nebula
#

dont do this to me 😛

rigid island
#

but yeah i get what u mean

#

lol

waxen kayak
leaden ice
waxen kayak
#

it looks right in 3d mode

leaden ice
#

Unless your camera is on the same plane as your objects (not really possible) I don't see how it could be right

waxen kayak
rigid island
# dawn nebula dont do this to me 😛

there definitely are some good patterns, what helped me a lot is when working with traditional c# apps you learn to improve the MVC pattern typically.
So you can kinda do that in Unity but there are many things where gameobjects are very convenient

leaden ice
dawn nebula
rigid island
# dawn nebula Like the component based system.

Yeah like instead of cramming everything in a monolothic class, split them into smaller components
I can disable a certain component on my NPC for example and doesn't break anything else

waxen kayak
#

z is always 0

waxen kayak
#

wait I might have figured it out

leaden ice
#

definitely not, no

dawn nebula
rigid island
#

Now all I do is Invoke an event with that Vector3 position

#

anything subscribed to this component, gets the V3

#

so now the Setting position doesn't care about Goblin/Npc
and goblin just subscribes to an event, maybe you can further filter through a manager pattern or intermediatary.
It should only care about receiving a V3 position, it shouldn't care how it acquires it. If that makes sense

waxen kayak
#

okay I fixed it like this:

selectedTurret.targetRotation.Value = Quaternion.AngleAxis( Mathf.Rad2Deg * Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x), Vector3.forward).eulerAngles.z-90;
leaden ice
#

there's no reason to involve all the quaternion stuff there

waxen kayak
leaden ice
waxen kayak
#

Well I don't know why you can't because I think I can

leaden ice
#

because I've been working with Unity for over a decade and have helped hundreds of beginners who thought they could but actually couldn't

waxen kayak
#

I can see it

image.png image.png
#

I can see it

leaden ice
#

and your object is at z = 3.49
those are not the same

dawn nebula
waxen kayak
leaden ice
#

no...?

#

3.49 and -10 are not the same number

dawn nebula
#

Honestly I think just ID'ing it is fine.

waxen kayak
#

yes, and I can see the turret just fine

leaden ice
#

yes

dawn nebula
#

Get ID from view, attempt to move object, logic handles checking if that ID is even real.

leaden ice
#

because they are positioned correctly

#

I mean I am

#

or mabye I missunderstood

#

but this is what you wanted, right?

leaden ice
#

Yeah... very strange 🤔

waxen kayak
#

isn't it normal

leaden ice
#

because I've helped hundreds of people who CAN'T see their objects

#

and the reason was their camera is at 0

waxen kayak
#

if you can or cannot see it is depending on sorting order

dawn nebula
rigid island
leaden ice
#

do you have more than one camera?

waxen kayak
#

no

leaden ice
#

very strange

waxen kayak
#

I always thought it was like this

and I always remembered it being like this

#

Maybe something happens if the sorting orders aren't set?

so i've been tryina add complicated effects to my card game and i want to be able to add more of them easily. Im using a scriptable object class so i can set the variable references in the editor.

I need to draw some lines on a grid. I am looking to use Bresenham's algorithm. I'm curious if there's a library people have used for this, or if I should just implement it myself

#

One possibly tricky thing: I want this to be determinstic so that I can run it on multiple machines and get the same set of points

#

The algorithm doesn't really use anything other than adding and subtracting floats, so I don't think that'll be a problem...

#

It would be nice if there was any actual updates to editor scripting and asset creation that doesn't include making property drawers or having to script that functionality in.

#

Expandable class instances on the editor should just be default already, and so is selective hiding of variables

#

latent latch

sure, post it

merry stream

lean sail
merry stream
#

they can be ignored when looking at the other stuff

latent latch
#

Looks pretty good, so what's the process of say adding a source of IceDamageFlat to an ability of Ice?

#

or how is the complete calculations done before/after hitting an enemy

merry stream
#

so that would be done using a custom magnitude

#

there already is an ElementalDamageMagnitude which takes the values of all of the casters elemental damage and then calculates the damage dealt based on the targets resistance

#

that could be changed to just take into account ice

#

if you look at MagnitudeStat, it can capture any stat on the caster or target

#

either when the effect is first applied or on every time the magnitude is calculated in a case of something like a dot effect

#

the reason for seperating this is since when you shoot a projectile, there is no target until it touches an enemy, therefore it can capture the stat only when the effect "learns" the target

latent latch
#

right, some calcs like armor can only be completed when knowing the target

merry stream
#

yes

latent latch
#

overall looks pretty similar to mine. One thing I do use a lot though are bitwise enum operations, but I think you're accomplishing a lot of that similarly using dictionaries.

#

for quick tag comparisons for modifiers

merry stream
#

yeah my StatParser file holds all the stats and how they relate

latent latch
#

next step is to make a sweet projectile/ability controller

merry stream
#

yeah just had to get the effects actually affecting things first

#

lol

#

i appreciate it

latent latch
#

yeah looking pretty good

#

I see you do a lot of explicit data too which honestly is ideal. Can always change it later if you want to do more serialization

merry stream
#

as in all my tiers of stats, etc?

latent latch
#

yeah

merry stream
#

yeah couldnt think of a better way of doing it besides maybe writing it in a seperate file and reading it in

#

gunna have to make it all explicit anyways somehow

latent latch
#

more referring to a stat range with randomized values, unless you are doing that somewhere

#

because if you keep it completely explicit you just need to serialize the dictionary keys

merry stream
#

i just rebuild it in a somewhat scuffed way

#

i could probably improve, but it works public static ItemInstance RebuildItem(ItemSaveData data) { Item item = ItemByGUID(data.GUID); if (item is Equipment) { ItemStats affixes = new ItemStats(); foreach (var stat in data.affixes) { affixes.Add(new StatData(stat.Key, StatParser.GetTier(stat.Key, stat.Value)), stat.Value); } EquipmentInstance instance = new EquipmentInstance((Equipment)item, new Rarity(data.rarity), affixes, data.sellPrice, data.itemLevel); return instance; } else if (item is EnemyData) { EnemyDataInstance instance = new EnemyDataInstance((EnemyData)item, new Rarity(data.rarity)); return instance; } else { ItemInstance instance = new ItemInstance(item, new Rarity(data.rarity)); return instance; } }

latent latch
#

if it works it works

merry stream
#

so my items are saved like so in JSON

image.png
#

i tried serializing the "tier" but I dont think json can nest that far? not sure what the issue was

#

so instead I just match the value with the correct tier

latent latch
#

It's probably fine unless you want to be poe specific where you can reroll values in that tier

merry stream
#

i see you noticed my influences lol

#

but you can

#

tier has a roll function which just randomizes its values within its range

latent latch
#

for the effect stuff, I'm still kinda trying to perfect it, but eventually I want to make a single coroutine pool that queues the effects instead of checking each individual coroutine

merry stream
#

as in you would be able to queue abilities and have them go off after the last one ends?

latent latch
#

yeah, it's that for constant ticking type effects, apparently waitforseconds does check every frame still

#

and I get a lot of slowdown when I fire some damage over time effect onto like 500 enemies at once

merry stream
#

Ah I see

#

I havent tested performance yet

#

should be okay as I only run 2 things in update

latent latch
#

Another idea was just to do all the effect checking in update, but similarly there is a lot of comparison checking. IDK, but PoE suffers from similar problems

#

Single update loop, with some queue pooling system with Unitask is probably what I'll try next

merry stream
#

yeah POE when you try to kill a invulnerbility shrine pack

#

goes to 1 fps lol

latent latch
#

that game is held on by glue, and they keep applying more every so often

merry stream
#

last league if you didnt have a 3060+ you couldnt play endgame

#

latent latch
#

but pretty sure those underlying issues are so integrated with their systems that only way to fix it is to release their next game

merry stream
#

yeah i bet

#

they've probably improved a lot on their engine in poe2

#

since poe1 engine was made back in like 2012

latent latch
#

Yeah hopefully. They got the money and team now so I'm counting on it

#

really it wasn't much of a problem early on, but as the power creep became a thing and they added more effects to all their calculations and just overall quicker application of stuff it started to show

merry stream
#

yeah I used to be able to run that game with a 960, doubt i could now

#

though I doubt poe2 will be even half as intensive since they are slowing it down a lot

When i move the handle in the scene view, the handle moves (which means that the object's position is indeed being updated. However the object itself doesn't move. If I move the handle and then click on the scene post processing toggle, the visual of the object will update, but only for that frame.
Is there something I must also call when the scope changes to ensure the object's visual get's updated as well?

#

Update: the visual object has HideFlags.HideAndDontSave, if I don't set that, then it updates just fine, but unfortunately becomes part of the scene hierarchy (which I don't want)

opinions on hiding fields using new in the derived class? I usually just use generics here, but the problem with generics is you can't pass around the base without a generic param type so I'd use an interface otherwise.

thick terrace
#

actually i guess you don't need the setter at all in the derived class in your case

latent latch
#

right you'd just use a property field and cast. I was doing that in another project

#

havent really checked much on it, but I'd assume there's not really much of a cost to casting right

#

cause a lot of this is being constantly checked in updates

#

like, even if it's such a micro performance, is there really a difference between telling the compiler straight up what is vs casting at runtime

#

or would this also be compiled time known I guess

it's not quite free, but in most cases it shouldn't cause a problem and i'd usually rather avoid the duplicate backing field and just cache it in a local var somewhere if it's used repeatedly in a loop or something

anyone knows how to make VS code use C# 11, I added csc.rsp with -langVersion:preview and even Directory.Build.props with

<Project>
  <PropertyGroup>
    <Nullable>enable</Nullable>
    <LangVersion>preview</LangVersion>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>

but because .csproj files contain <LangVersion>9.0</LangVersion> for some reason it doesn't override it and VS Code analyses them as C# 9 files

#

I ininitally assumed just using csc.rsp with -langVersion:preview should've been enough but Unity generates from .csproj files

#

the only thing I can think of is adding editor script for asset postprocessing and editing csproj files in it

#

but that sounds really annoying

rigid island
#

the version of c# is tied to the .NET framework version

last raven
#

no it's not, you can select C# version to use in csc.rsp, default is C# 9 but 10 is also supported and some feature of 11 too with preview version

rigid island
last raven
#

I'm literally using it right now, it works in unity, it doesn't work in VS Code because unity generates wrong project files

rigid island
#

the compiler max version is 9#

#

even in unity 6

last raven
#

I have files with C# 10 features and unity compiles them

rigid island
#

external library perhaps, but not unity itself

last raven
#

DEFAULT

#

no, it works with unity

#

I have monobehaviour that uses C#10 features

rigid island
last raven
#

put csc.rsp with -langVersion:preview -nullable:enable and use C# 10 features in your code

rigid island
#

I said prove it, you weren't able to deliver

last raven
#

in the root of your assets folder

#

or in folder with asmdef file

#

how do I prove it?

#

I can make a project

rigid island
#

show me c#10 features inside Monobehaviour

#

you said

Screen_Shot_2024-04-04_at_10.26.17_PM.png
#

Show me that

last raven
#

alright, 1 moment

rigid island
#

I'm not downloading a zip file

#

show the features in the code

last raven
#

all it contains

# 
using UnityEngine;

public class CS10TestBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Awake()
    {
        int a = 10;
        (a, int b) = (20, 25);
        Debug.Log($"{a}, {b}");
    }
}
#

(a, int b) = (20, 25) is a C# 10 feature

rigid island
#

ok but show that ur IDE is configured and not indeed highlighting it

last raven
rigid island
#

there you go

#

you can't

last raven
#

are you stupid ?

image.png
#

the problem only in external IDE

#

unity itself compiles and runs it

#

the problem is that it generates wrong project files

rigid island
#

if you have compiler errors you cannot compile

last raven
#

I DO NOT HAVE COMPILER ERRORS

rigid island
#

are you blind

last raven
#

that error is from analyzer

#

that's not a compiler error

rigid island
#

yes it

ocean hollow
rigid island
#

Unity will not compile with that error

last raven
#

but it compiles and runs

rigid island
#

no it doesn't

last raven
#

I just shown you

#

OH MY GOD

rigid island
#

you showed a Log, that proves nothing

#

the IDE is highlighting it, if you save Unity will not let you compile

last raven
#

you can literally run component I sent you

#

on your own

ocean hollow
#

Are you building and running in vs? 💀

rigid island
#

did you switch .NET version in Player Settings?

last raven
#

I'm using compiler argument

#

via csc.rsp

#

it compiles and runs in unity and that's fine

#

all that I need is for IDE to correctly pick up C# version because unity still writes C# version 9.0 despite actually compiling with C#11 preview

#

and anyway I found the solution

#

but thanks unity server by being useless and wasting my time as usual

rigid island
#

good for you

hello, all my scripts say Assembly Infromation Filename Assembly-CSharp.dll
I imported a new asset that has scripts with a different Filename and references a Definition File Destructible2D.
I'm trying to edit some of their scripts to reference my own scripts and it doesn't work. How should I change the imported scripts Assembly Definition to be able to reference my other scripts?

rigid island
#

or you have to make one for your own scripts then reference that from the new asmdef

wooden lintel
#

deleted the new asmdef and that worked 👍

quartz folio
#

Ah. I see the csp.rsp file stuff, what was the fix? I know in Rider you can alt-enter and tell it the project's settings, but I forget whether that persists, and I imagine it stops warning you about things that actually don't work

wooden lintel
#

so the scripts from the asset I imported are giving me other issues now. they take references to my other scripts now but it doesn't seem like any changes I make are doing anything.
for example there is a method that gets called to add to a damage variable. I just try to debug the value of it and there are no logs in the console yet the damage value goes up in the inspector. Also the script reference I added which is a private SerializeField will only show up if i put the inspector in Debug mode.
I'm not really seeing any code that would limit it, but the code is in a namespace. could that be the issue?

rigid island
#

unclear whats wrong, it could be a custom inspector for all we know

wooden lintel
#

nevermind
yeah you're right i'm seeing they are using code for a custom inspector in the bottom of the script

a bit hacky but what else can I do if unity doesn't generate correct project files

lilac vortex
#

i am fairly new at c# but i used to be a roblox dev so maybe i am doing everything wrong here but i want to make an inventory system for my 2d game where an inventory manager script initializes, adds and removes items from the item list. The item data manager holds the list, etc as you will see in my code. I also have 2 scripts where 1 detects when the player touches an item with the tag "pickupable" (not even a word lol) and a script that goes into the item with that tag that just does the same thing but flipped. The only thing that is working is where the item gets destroyed and nothing gets added to the list. I was contemplating just making a json file where the code adds the item data like the id,name, other values, etc like i tried doing but just in the table. Btw, each script has its own gameobject where it can be referenced, etc. I will attatch each script (i dont know an easier way) so i am sorry if it is difficult to help 😭 (and yes, I comment everything)

📎 InventoryManager.cs 📎 ItemDataManager.cs 📎 ItemPickup.cs 📎 PickupableItem.cs
latent latch
#

so you pick up a gameobject and then destroy that exact game object

#

probably lead me a bit on the implementation here

lilac vortex
latent latch
#

also your add to inventory method prototype are different from the pickup method

#

and from the one in shown here in the inventory. Oh, nm it's in the inventory manager class there

rigid island

gpt strikes again

lilac vortex
# rigid island gpt strikes again

I put my code through gpt just to make sure everything was right because I wasn’t getting any errors, so If it changed anything I just copied it

rigid island
#

don't think gpt would have the ability to test unity code

#

be careful what you get out of that thing, its just pre-stored data put in a blender

spring creek
latent latch
# 
    public void AddItemToInventory(string itemId) {
        ItemData item = itemDataManager.itemsData.Find(x => x.itemId == itemId);

Hey guys, I seem to phase through colliders and dont know why, anyone got an idea why it might be happening?

https://gyazo.com/cb681aaff17162d18b84dd12d4aee9c4
https://gyazo.com/ef7de8facb9bc0772324b071a93935cc

For the house Im using this asset pack:
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/environments/free-open-building-112907

My player's setup can be seen in the first image, the setup for the wall in the second, and the setup for the stairs in the 3rd. For movement I use the following script:

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

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float movSpeed = 10;

    private Rigidbody rb;
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Vector3 MoveBy = new Vector3();
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            MoveBy += this.transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed;
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
        {
            MoveBy += this.transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed * -1;
        }
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
        {
            MoveBy += this.transform.right * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed;
        }
        if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
        {
            MoveBy += this.transform.right * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed * -1;
        }
        rb.MovePosition(transform.position + MoveBy.normalized * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed);
    }
}

My player's RB is set to continuous detection, and Im using MovePosition to prevent the jittering in the wall in the first place. Why am I still phasing through some colliders?

rigid island
#

those colliders are insane on those walls

#

holy shite

#

expensive city

#

I don't think rb.MovePosition respects colliders, does it?

#

I think that might be issue

prime acorn
#

It should since it moves using the rigidbody

#

transform.position would ignore colliders

rigid island
#

no but you should probably use vel

prime acorn
#

rb is not kinematic

rigid island
#

rb.MovePosition iirc was meant for rigidbody kinematic movement

#

since kinematic has no forces/velocity

prime acorn
#

If I make it kinematic THEN it ignores all colliders

rigid island
#

you're misunderstanding what I'm saying to you

#

Either use AddForce try diff force mode settings, or .velocity if you want collision

spring creek
#

MovePosition is for kinematic.
Since you are not using kinematic, do not use MovePosition

prime acorn
#

I dont want that addforce behaviour tho, I dont want speeding up/slowing down, I want instant movement

spring creek
rigid island
#

thats called acceleratioon and mass affects it

spring creek
#

There are four ForceModes

rigid island
#

you can charge forcemode

spring creek
#

And also, there is velocity, as nav said twice?
Yeah, twice. Once called vel, in case you missed it

rigid island
#

just incase

Screen_Shot_2024-04-05_at_12.26.00_AM.png
#

iirc rb.velocity basically behaves like VelocityChange

prime acorn
spring creek
#

I thought that was what you said you want

#

Sorry, misunderstood then

#

You want AddForce then

prime acorn
#

Starting movement is fine, end movement isnt, I could just set it to 0, yes, but then it isnt affected by gravity anymore, since, you know, velocity is 0

spring creek
#

Use current y velocity

rigid island
prime acorn
#

AddForce is even worse, tried it and as I thought AddForce continuosly adds a force over multiple frames instead of setting speed once

spring creek
rigid island
#

also .velocity should give you no slowing down

#

since you ideally set velocity every physix frame (when 0 input velocity is 0 so instant stop)

spring creek
#

If you want instant start and stop, but maintain gravity. Then use velocity

#

I don't understand the problem

rigid island
#

yup. MovePosition wasn't any different than overriding velocity currently

#

if you have any types of slow downs or whathave you , its something in your script inputs

prime acorn
rigid island
#

what did you change in the code exactly

prime acorn
# 
void Update()
{
    Vector3 MoveBy = new Vector3();
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed;
    }
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.forward * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed * -1;
    }
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.right * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed;
    }
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.right * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed * -1;
    }
    MoveBy = MoveBy.normalized * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed;
    MoveBy.y = rb.velocity.y;
    rb.velocity = MoveBy;
    //rb.MovePosition(transform.position + MoveBy.normalized * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed);
}```
spring creek
rigid island
#

ur colliders looked all wonky , i would test walking on a flat plane first

#

ah yea

prime acorn
#

why not?

spring creek
#

Velocity is meters per second

rigid island
#

also you should move inside FIxedUpdate

#

keep inputs in Update

prime acorn
# 
void Update()
{
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.forward;
    }
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.S))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.forward * -1;
    }
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.right;
    }
    if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    {
        MoveBy += this.transform.right * -1;
    }
    //rb.MovePosition(transform.position + MoveBy.normalized * Time.deltaTime * movSpeed);
}

private void FixedUpdate()
{
    MoveBy = MoveBy.normalized * movSpeed;
    MoveBy.y = rb.velocity.y;
    rb.velocity = MoveBy;
}```
there doesnt change a thing

Looks like the camera jittering, not the player

#

How is the camera moved?

prime acorn
#

Only happens with velocity tho

spring creek
#

Child or script

spring creek
prime acorn
#

Script on a child

spring creek
prime acorn
#

Camera is a child and controlled by this

void Update()
{
    float xInp = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X") * Time.deltaTime * sensitivity;
    float yInp = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y") * Time.deltaTime * sensitivity;

    yRotation += xInp;
    xRotation -= yInp;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90, 90);

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

}```
spring creek
#

Oof. Ok, once again, deltaTime is used incorrectly here.
Mouse Input is a delta from the last frame, so deltaTime should not be used with it

#

Likely not the complete issue though

#

And removing it will make the sensitivity WAY too high (is it luke 200-500 range?)

prime acorn
#

was 100

#

but thats just a number

rigid island
#

this is the issue
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, yRotation, 0);
orientation.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yRotation, 0);

#

there is a disconnect between transform rotation and a rigidbody rotation

#

you should only be rotating the player if camera is parented to player

prime acorn
#

yes indeed

#

thats by desihn

rigid island
#

and use rb.MoveRotation to rotate rigidbody directly with physics

#

but the important part is both camera and player rotation on yRotation buts not sync

prime acorn
#

wdym not sync

#

how could they not be sinced I set them to the same value

rigid island
#

they're both slighlty off even if you put the same variable

#

if you remove yRotation on camera it will work

#

as long as cam is parented

prime acorn
#

nope

#

My camera was fine before when I used MovePosition, its only not fine now, if I change it like you say then it starts to rotate for 1 frame and jitters back in the next

rigid island
#

MovePosition wasn't using physics

prime acorn
# 
void Update()
{
    float xInp = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X") * sensitivity;
    float yInp = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y") * sensitivity;

    yRotation += xInp;
    xRotation -= yInp;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90, 90);

    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0, 0);
    orientation.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yRotation, 0);
}```
Removed yRotation from cam as you said
rigid island
#

did also say rotate the rigidbody directly

prime acorn
#

thats what orientation is doing

rigid island
#

no you need to move rotation on the rigidbody component

prime acorn
#

orientation is the object with the rb

spring creek
prime acorn
#

rigidbody component doesnt have a rotation

spring creek
prime acorn
#

okay then where

image.png
spring creek
rigid island
#

imagine that

Screen_Shot_2024-04-05_at_12.47.23_AM.png
spring creek
# prime acorn okay then where

Why look on the inspector?
What does that have to do with anything?
I linked you the docs above. Nav showed a method that does it

rigid island
prime acorn
# 
void Update()
{
    float xInp = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse X") * sensitivity;
    float yInp = Input.GetAxisRaw("Mouse Y") * sensitivity;

    yRotation += xInp;
    xRotation -= yInp;
    xRotation = Mathf.Clamp(xRotation, -90, 90);

    transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRotation, 0, 0);
    orientation.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>().rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, yRotation, 0);
}```this how you mean it then?
rigid island
#

cache that component

#

also that line goes in FixedUpdate

prime acorn
#

how does that matter right now

#

I just wanna make it work

#

Also it doesnt

#

it doesnt rotate that axis at all anymore

#

Im not gonna cache it now to later make it a public field to assign in the inspector when I dont even know if it works how does that make sense

#

Id love to talk about the problem at hand and not semantics

spring creek
#

If you would like, you can certainly put it back to MovePosition 🤷‍♂️
Seems like every suggestion has been met with some hostility

prime acorn
#

helpful

rigid island
#

no need to get all road rage over a suggestion

spring creek
#

We've been trying to be...

prime acorn
#

I tried every suggestion what do you want more?

rigid island
#

mate hate to break it to you this is ONE suggestion

spring creek
#

Mostly just less aggressiveness

rigid island
#

with many steps

#

to you may seem like many suggestions, its literally one thing. Switch this to this, now that you have this you have to account for new things.

spring creek
#

It is changing the whole way things work. There have been a LOT of errors in the code and setup

rigid island
#

you fixed not going through walls, now you have to deal with knowing moving correctly physics

#

if you hate all that shit, just use the character controller component and call it a day

prime acorn
#

Not like I didnt try that too

spring creek
#

Wow. Yeah, good luck nav

rigid island
#

if both components are giving issues its probably not the components if ya know what I mean

prime acorn
#

I dont know what you mean

#

what component are you talking about rn

rigid island
#

also by the looks of your colliders it might even be wise to test a character controller on an actual Plane with a normal collider

rigid island
prime acorn
#

Yes

rigid island
#

so Rigidbody and Character Controller both aint work right, it aint the components fault

#

shitty script

#

so you need to fix it

prime acorn
#

Then I change it like you tell me to and it works even less

rigid island
#

you change one line and expect it to work again

#

thats ridiculous unrealistic

prime acorn
#

we went from I go through some walls to my screen jitters so nobody can see anything to camera doesnt move at all even tho the transform component says it does

spring creek
# prime acorn Then I change it like you tell me to and it works even less

You know how if you need to organize a closet, it is best to pull a bunch of stuff out. It makes a mess, right? Then you work on putting it back together better than before. You are in the pulling stuff out of the closet phase and are angry it isn't perfect
We haven't even finished pulling everything OUT yet

#

But like I said, if you'd like to just go back to MovePosition, you certainly can
We are just people, trying to help, free of charge, on our free time

rigid island
prime acorn
#

And yet youre here telling me to put all my clothes on a hanger even tho we are still pulling clothes out

rigid island
#

if you dont want to deal with physics and physic rotation use Character Controller

spring creek
prime acorn
#

No not wrong

#

me caching that rb has NOTHING to do with the problem at hand

rigid island
#

you're still on that?

spring creek
rigid island
#

its good habit to do things properly earily in the first place. I just made a suggestion and for some reason you took it personal lol

spring creek
#

Ok, blocked. I'm truly out.

rigid island
#

@prime acorn if you're not gonna bother properly debugging without throwing a tantrum, I'll do exactly the same

#

its a waste of everyones time , especially bickering about nonsense

deep oyster
#

Hey guys. I've got a few "level" scenes but they all have different origins, which is a little funky for workflow purposes - I'm wondering if there's an easy way to adjust the transforms of everything in a scene so that a particular transform is now 0, 0, but the relative positions of everything stays the same

rigid island
#

or maybe I misunderstood what you're asking

#

also probably not code related lol

merry stream
#

i think he might be asking to change the whole world's 0,0

rigid island
#

ah

merry stream
#

no idea though lol

deep oyster
deep oyster
rigid island
#

not sure that can be done can it?

spring creek
#

Parenting EVERYTHING to one object would make that 0,0,0 relative to everything else

#

But not sure why you would want that

merry stream
#

cant you just adjust all your game objects by the difference between 0,0 and your particular game object

#

then your particular game object would be at 0 0 and everything else would move with it

deep oyster
#

yeah but then I'd have to go through every object

merry stream
#

probably the only way

#

shouldnt take that long though

rigid island
#

yea

#

oh

#

got deleted

tulip plank
#

mb @rigid island

rigid island
#

solved?

#

na I put it in code beginner

#

let me put it here again

1 sec

rigid island
#

nah its fine

#

ill check there

#

dont crosspost

tulip plank
#

Hi I wanted to know if there was a way to make it so the system detects the certain amount of pins fallen down and it plays like a number animation or just an animation of the pins on the screen. How would I do this?

csreen.png pin.png
tulip plank
#

here is what I was trying to figure out

#

if you know how to help

rigid island
tulip plank
rigid island
#

ok so you want to detect if pin fell?

tulip plank
#

like in bowling

rigid island
#

you can check the x rotation prob

tulip plank
#

wdym?

lean sail
rigid island
#

of the pin? when it gets knocked

tulip plank
#

well see here's the issue

#

I'm not good with coding or any of that sort of thing

#

I'm trying to learn as I go along the way

#

but I'm aware of what a vector3.up is but not a transform.up

rigid island
#

your X rotation right now is probably 0 standing upright

tulip plank
#

for rotation yes

rigid island
#

if its knocked its either < o rlarger

tulip plank
#

it is 0

lean sail
rigid island
#

true oops

lean sail
#

Get the angle between transform.up and vector3.up and then determine what you consider to be fallen down

tulip plank
#

how would it know how many fell though?

lean sail
#

You could also just check if the pin moved

tulip plank
#

How would I do that though

rigid island
#

you can count how many that way

tulip plank
#

alright let me create the script
file. 1 moment

#

Okay I've created a C# script

#

How should I write this?

#

Also should I delete all this code so its fresh?

oh you are a beginner beginner. you'll probably want to start a bit more basic here then..

Could I use ChatGPT to help me learn?

#

I asked it the question and it wrote me a script

plucky inlet
#

Dont

tulip plank
#

it looks good though

plucky inlet
#

ever rely on chatgpt if you have no clue, what the result means

tulip plank
#

it gave me this ```using UnityEngine;

public class PinManager : MonoBehaviour
{
// Total number of pins
public int totalPins = 10;

// Number of fallen pins
private int fallenPins = 0;

// Event handler for when a pin falls
public delegate void PinFallEventHandler(int fallen);
public event PinFallEventHandler OnPinFall;

// Method to call when a pin falls
public void PinFall()
{
    fallenPins++;
    Debug.Log("Pin fallen! Total fallen pins: " + fallenPins);

    // Send message about fallen pins
    if (OnPinFall != null)
    {
        OnPinFall(fallenPins);
    }
}

// Method to reset the fallen pins count
public void ResetPins()
{
    fallenPins = 0;
    Debug.Log("Pins reset.");
}

// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    // Register PinFall method to Pin.PinFallEvent
    Pin.PinFallEvent += PinFall;
}

// OnDestroy is called when the GameObject is destroyed
void OnDestroy()
{
    // Unregister PinFall method from Pin.PinFallEvent
    Pin.PinFallEvent -= PinFall;
}

}

# 

totalPins represents the total number of pins.
fallenPins keeps track of the number of pins fallen over.
PinFall method is called whenever a pin falls. It increments fallenPins and logs the message. Additionally, it invokes the OnPinFall event to send a message about the fallen pins.
ResetPins method resets the fallen pins count to zero.
Start method registers PinFall method to the Pin.PinFallEvent.
OnDestroy method unregisters PinFall method from the Pin.PinFallEvent.
Remember to attach this script to a GameObject in your Unity scene, and ensure that the pins have a script or component that triggers the PinFall method when they fall over.```

Thats what it gave me

And you are beginner, dont clutter up another channel because yours related is too busy...

quartz folio
#

Yeah, you're asking an opinion using a piece of code and description you haven't verified works

tulip plank
lean sail
quartz folio
#

Yeah, and it's against our conduct

#

If you can't be bothered putting in the effort to go through learning resources made by people, then you shouldn't be asking people to give their input on something a computer shat out

tulip plank
#

okay so what do you guys recommend I do for the script part

#

How should I start it?

lean sail
#

We have given suggestions above, if you dont understand those then my recommendation is to step away from what you are doing and go learn actual basics

plucky inlet
rigid island
#

break bigger problem into smaller problems, learn the basics first

tulip plank
#

but how will I write the script is what I am asking

rigid island
#

your ide is configured at least, you're 40% ahead of most newcomers

tulip plank
#

I created a script called "PinManager"

rigid island
#

transform your logic into code

lean sail
# tulip plank I created a script called "PinManager"

no one is gonna handhold you through writing the whole script, try writing something and then ask for help on a specific part. Break your problem down. You need to check when pins fall over.
First, do you have pins? Can they fall over? that'd be pretty important
Does this script know what the pins are, if not then find out how to reference a component

#

btw these are questions for you to consider and then keep going through small questions like this, i am not asking for the answers

prime acorn
#

Im trying to change the material on an object (when I hover a laptop I want it to "turn on" which is a different material) but every time I change the material I lose frames (from 165 VSynced to ~110), is there a reason this uses so much poerformance? I tried it in a build too and there it didnt happen, but I worry it might still happen on lower end hardware. Does this only happen in the Game view or is there a better way to achieve this?

merry stream
#

in build or in editor? check the reason with the profiler

prime acorn
#

what exactly am I checking for? My code is as simple as myRenderer.material = LaptopOn;

#

in editor I have the drops, in build not, but Im afraid it might still happen in build when on a weaker PC

merry stream
#

then it doesn't really matter if it's only in the editor

#

u can check with the profiler

prime acorn
#

Not used to the profiler, so I dont know what Im looking for, but this is the framedrop

image.png
merry stream
#

see what causes the fps drop

prime acorn
#

Garbagecollector is 28% of the time

#

just turn it off and handle the memory leak later

merry stream
#

there's no memory leak

prime acorn
#

but yeah it looks like its the GC spiking

#

So is there a way to fix that?

somber nacelle
#

you can prevent GC spikes by reducing the amount of garbage you create. this can be done by reusing objects (specifically reference type objects) whenever possible instead of creating new instances

prime acorn
# 
public Material LaptopOff;
public Material LaptopOn;
public override void OnHoverEnter()
{
    myRenderer.material = LaptopOn;
}

public override void OnHoverExit()
{
    myRenderer.material = LaptopOff;
}```
Isnt this effectively doing just that?
somber nacelle
#

are you certain this is even what is causing the GC spikes?

#

hint: it's not

prime acorn
#

Well the spikes only happen when this code is run

somber nacelle
#

from your previous screenshot the issue doesn't even look like a GC spike. your spike is happening due to TimeUpdate.WaitForLastPresentationAndUpdateTime which does not appear to be the garbage collector

prime acorn
#

Garbacecollector takes the most time of this script tho, also I cant seem to find the method this is referencing

image.png
#

like at all in the project

last raven
#

doesn't setting material create copy of the material?

prime acorn
#

Idk does it?

somber nacelle
#

the material is instantiated the first time that the material property is accessed if it hasn't already been instantiated

#

and you should be destroying the materials when no longer in use. but reusing the same materials wouldn't be causing GC spikes because you aren't creating any extra garbage by doing so

last raven
#

ok, it seems like it's copy on write

#

so until you change material returned by material property it will not create copy

somber nacelle
last raven
#

at least I got that impression from docs

ah wait no, it actually instantiates it when accessing

somber nacelle
prime acorn
#

I have no idea what garbage Im creating

somber nacelle
#

so look through your code and find out

#

you can also use the memory profiler to determine where you may be using the most memory to help you narrow down what code you should be looking through

prime acorn

The documentation for AudioClip.SetData and AudioClip.GetData seems to be missing a description of the parameters, so I'll ask here:

Does offsetSamples offset the parameter array, or AudioClip instance's array? I.e. Does it move the initial position of the RW head of the array of data being passed in, or the initial position of the RW head of the array in the AudioClip object?

Hello wanna ask
How do i get color from eyedropper tool on EditorGUI.ColorField unity editor window in runtime ? So i can always get color whenever i hover my eyedropper

prime acorn
#

Well it appears the garbage I was collecting was unity... restarted and now no more framedrops

rigid island
#

by runtime you mean a build or just in editor window ?

pure onyx
#

just in editor window

#

to help my designer to choose the color

thick terrace
# devout harness The documentation for AudioClip.SetData and AudioClip.GetData seems to be missin...

huh, which docs are you looking at? i think this line is what you're looking for?

The samples should be floats ranging from -1.0f to 1.0f (exceeding these limits will lead to artifacts and undefined behaviour). The sample count is determined by the length of the float array. Use offsetSamples to write into a random position in the clip. If the length from the offset is longer than the clip length, the write will wrap around and write the remaining samples from the start of the clip.

rigid island
pure onyx
#

can i make eyedropper tool to get the color whenever i hover it ?

devout harness
rigid island
pure onyx
rigid island
#

Ohhh I see what u mean

#

right cause it applies it when you click not on hover

pure onyx
#

yeah

rigid island
#

how do you want to change it just on hover or a keypress?

pure onyx
#

Just on hover

rigid island
#

you'd have to determine when you want to do it though

#

prob tracking your mousePos and see if changed from last position, if it does then call method to apply the current color hovered

thick terrace
pure onyx
rigid island
#

thats probably what eyedropper does, might be able to extract that info

pure onyx
#

hmmm but there is no eyedropper function on editor window

#

but idk if i can't find it

#

Now i'm using EditorGUI.ColorField

rigid island
#

if the eyedropper can do it then there is a way

#

on the top of my head I don't know one, GetPixel only works on texture

rancid frost
#

So unity tile map cannot use Textures right?

somber nacelle
#

wdym by "use textures"? you paint tiles onto a tilemap 🤔

#

also not a code question

pure onyx
rigid island
pure onyx
rancid frost
rigid island

are they sprites?

somber nacelle
rancid frost
devout harness
# thick terrace it's an offset within the clip's own data as i understand it (been a while since...

So if I'm understanding correctly, the offset will apply to the clip invoking the method?

E.g. If I have some audio clip 10 samples long and I call GetData passing an array of length 5 along with an offset of 8, the array will be populated with the samples at the 8th, 9th, 0th, 1st, and 2nd indices of the AudioClip (i.e. passedArr[0] = clipData[8])?

And similarly, SetData would do the same in reverse (set the 8th thru the 2nd elements of the AudioClip to the values in the passed array such that clipData[8] = passedArr[0])?

#

And thank you for the aid thus far

thick terrace
neon smelt
#

Any idea why this data isn't saving when I stop play? It sits on gameobject in the scene, and is being correctlty written to at runtime. when I end play it all vanished back to null.

cosmic rain
#

It's normal behaviour

neon smelt
#

isn't the point of making something serializable that you save the changes?

cosmic rain
#

No. It's to serialize them. But that doesn't change the fact that unity reverts changes from play time. You don't want your gameplay state to be applied to the project.

#

Also, there's no point in serializing public fields. They're serialized by default

neon smelt
#

I thought serializing meant saving....?
