Does the object you collide with have a collider? Are they both triggers?

Also please put a Debug.Log inside the methods and validate it's actually not called and not just the if statement not calling

[hollow mesa]

the collider (sphereColider) who is trigger do not work and is never call even when the player (tag with player tag) to inside

so the camera who normally can be change, can't in this case

[thin aurora]

So is the method actually not called or is it the if statement that doesn't work? please debug

And perhaps follow this: https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-messages-3d

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/logging/how-to

[hollow mesa]

i already try that, i put a Debug.Log("Collider is triggered"), but this message never appaired

this is sus because i use the same system for a quest and the quest work

[thin aurora]

Then consider following the first link and verify everything is set correctly. Specifically when it comes to actually receiving trigger messages https://unity.huh.how/physics-messages/trigger-matrix-3d

Considering your methods look fine it has to be related to the actual triggers. You haven't shared those so I suggest you validate those

[hollow mesa]

i am here

my player is in the colider but nothing hapend, i do not have any message on the Log

[somber nacelle]

and where is the component that should be receiving the physics message

[hollow mesa]

this

[somber nacelle]

is that just on a completely unrelated object?

because only the objects you screenshot before would receive the messages from the collision/trigger

[hollow mesa]

ok, that work, thank

i juste put the script on the Left_Door_Final

[rotund burrow]

I'm working on a rigidbody character controller. When it falls off the slope it gets stuck in the ground for a moment, i dont want that (see image) . So to fix it i have a variable called velocityBeforeCollision i update every frame, expect OnCollisionEnter() frame. And then i set the velocity to projected velocityBeforeCollision when it hits the ground. Is there an easier fix?

[lean sail]

You should show code, and if this is kinematic because getting stuck in the ground like this shouldnt really happen in such a noticeable way unless you're doing something weird to begin with. I dont see the point of needing velocityBeforeCollision here

[rotund burrow]

the body is not kinematic. It's not super noticeable, just annoying. There is a lot of disconnected code so dont want to show it. But i can try to isolate the issue

[lean sail]

What I meant is that it shouldnt be noticeable at all, unless i guess you're falling from massive distances or possibly have a weird setup. Like one case (which I hope you didnt do) is a non kinematic rigidbody on the floor with locked positions.
Not much can be said if you dont show what you're doing though, anything would just be guesses as to what you're doing

[rotund burrow]

thinking about it, what i described fits better for me anyway. I'm setting velocity every frame and i want to have control over it and not lose some of it because of the collisions. So let's just drop it

[wraith spear]

For some reason, my Input Action Asset isn't found by Visual Studio. I have the Input Action "Player_Input.inputactions" and .cs files under Assets/Resources, but they don't show up in my Visual Studio project, and as such I can't reference them. Do I need to add them to my Assembly somehow?
It used to work until I added Animancer in, not sure why that broke everything.

[somber nacelle]

you're using assembly definitions and you don't have a reference to the assembly that generated class is in (likely due to it being directly in the Assembly-CSharp assembly)

[wraith spear]

Is it possible for me to "move" it to the standard Assembly?

[somber nacelle]

it is in the "standard" assembly which is the problem. you cannot reference that from your asmdef, you need to put it into an assembly and reference that assembly, or put it into the assembly you are working in. or use an asmref

[wraith spear]

I see, thanks!

I'll look into putting it into the assembly I'm currently working in

It worked! Thanks a lot boxfriend 🙂

[tawdry pecan]

I'm having a problem with the way the code positions my character. I want it so that when the player interacts with the mounted LMG, their camera will be set to the LMG's cameraSit, the player model set to the playerModelSit and the player parent be set in playerSit. I have set the transforms correctly in the scene and inspector and yet the player just mounts wherever

Here's all the code associated:
FPSController https://hastebin.com/share/buyanakoda.csharp
MountedLMG https://hastebin.com/share/ocaxayohod.csharp

[somber nacelle]

your player has a CharacterController which cannot be teleported without disabling that component

https://unity.huh.how/character-controller/teleportation

[dark sparrow]

Anybody who knows a bit about the Kinematic Character Controller?
I have a question about making AI move through it's motor

[kindred wyvern]

Anyone know where i could look for some beginnerfriendly help when it comes to programming for like an android phone? I have been trying for hours now to just grab the stepcounter-information from my phone into a textfield in unity, but im getting absolutly nowhere 😦

[somber nacelle]

Don't Ask To Ask

[somber nacelle]

you can ask in #📱┃mobile if there is a built in way to access that info. if not, i imagine it's going to require some asset or you may even need to write a native plugin for that (which is not beginner friendly)

[dark sparrow]

I just need to understand the function MoveCharacter in KCC.
Motor.MoveCharacter(new Vector3(Random.Range(0f, 10f), 0, Random.Range(0f, 10f)));

It basically just teleports the character instead of moving towards it, is that working as intended?

I have forgot the original KCC discord name so I cannot ask there

[somber nacelle]

that method does not move over time, it moves the KinematicCharacterMotor to that position the next time it updates

[dark sparrow]

Alright thanks for the answer

[tacit vine]

So i have a infinite loop somewhere in my code i cant find it so i question myself is there a way to check which line is executed in visual studio?

[somber nacelle]

yes, you need to attach the debugger, then break all. you'll be able to check what is happening on each thread, you'll need to find the main thread and see where it is getting stuck

[tacit vine]

break all where is that function?

[somber nacelle]

https://unity.huh.how/debugging/debugger

[tacit vine]

and youre sure this can also in vs?

[somber nacelle]

yes

[tacit vine]

because breakpoints are not what i meant

[somber nacelle]

i never said you need to use breakpoints. i told you to break all

[spring creek]

Boxfriend told you how to do what you want.

[tacit vine]

yeah sorry i couldnt find it but i found it thx

[hollow shuttle]

Hey, I'm currently trying to create a virtual Microphone that can record in-game audio during runtime in a project using SteamAudio and save it to a wav file on my PC. My current solution involves using OnAudioFilterRead, which, if I understand correctly, essentially lets me record the audio that also arrives at my headphones. This works fine for having just one virtual Microphone, but since I want to have 3 active at the same time, I have to find a different solution. Each Microphone should only record the audio that would be played through my headphones if it was the active AudioListener in that scene, but I haven't found a way to accomplish that. If anyone has some advice or could help me with this, it would be greatly appreciated!

[late lion]

Yeah... This isn't possible with Unity's audio system. It only supports one audio listener at a time. You could try using FMOD instead. It supports up to 8 audio listeners, has Unity integration and Steam Audio supports it.

[hollow shuttle]

I was told before that there could be a way to modify Unity's Audio pipeline somehow, sort of like adding filters or some other audio-component to the Microphone objects and saving whatever goes through. Either way, that FMOD thing sounds like a solid option, I'll check that out. Thank you!

[late lion]

You can hook into various parts of Unity's audio system, but at best you can try to simulate multiple listeners with it by applying your own attenuation and 3D sound. But both Unity and Steam Audio will still work as if there's only one listener. I don't know for sure that Steam Audio will work with multiple FMOD audio listeners, only that Steam Audio has FMOD support and that FMOD supports 8 audio listeners.

[hollow shuttle]

Worst case scenario I guess I'll just have to let the simulation run 3 times to get the three Microphones' output, but it sound to me like FMOD is worth a shot

[radiant marten]

So I'm coding my own mouse cursor(for reasons) and I have the Cursor.State set to confined and Cursor.visible set to false. However my OS cursor is still visible until I click the window(at least in Unity Editor). Once I click the window everything works as intended until I press escape and my cursor becomes unlocked and I can move it outside the window..

This is working as I'd hoped, but my only issue is I don't know how to detect when the OS mouse has been taken over by Unity. When I launch, Cursor.State is confined and Cursor.visible is false, but neither are actually true until I click the window so that doesn't seem like an accurate method. Application.isFocused is also returning true initially so it doesn't seem to be a focus thing

[thick terrace]

have you tested in a build? that sounds like the normal editor behaviour

[radiant marten]

yeah I just did and it seems like escape doesn't release the mouse so I guess that is just an editor thing

[thick terrace]

yeah, it'd be easy to get stuck otherwise haha

[marsh mesa]

Can someone help me? it says the term is ambiguous, when its not....? since there's only a single thing named rb in the entity class

[tawdry pecan]

Thanks!

[rancid frost]

I just thought of something.
What is stopping you from generating a tilemap, saving it as a PNG and just working off the PNG picture instead? Thus saving drawcalls and fps?...

[rancid frost]

Is there another class called Entity?

[marsh mesa]

Yeah, i figured out already, that was the problem. I made a class a few days ago, and forgot about it!

thanks for helping tho

[rigid island]

Fun fact you can hold Ctrl and it will turn into Hyperlink , if you click it it will take you to the definition

always good to verify you are going into the class you think you are

[somber nacelle]

can also just right click and peek definition

[rigid island]

oh yeah thats neat trick without going into the whole file

[marsh mesa]

thanks for the tips!

[karmic sand]

anyone got any idea why my light is so dim, its the highest possible brightness it can go

[rigid island]

this is a #archived-lighting
you're ina code channel

[hexed pecan]

Check exposure settings maybe
Not a code question

[rigid island]

also radius of 0 ? 🤔

what exactly is this light supposed to bounce off with 0 distance oops

[hexed pecan]

Radius is not the same as Range

It is the radius of the "bulb", larger radius gives softer light

[steady moat]

Unity generate the solution. You cannot use another one.

[rigid island]

ahh yes mb just realized this was HDRP so confused range for radius 😛

[steady moat]

And yes, you can use "normal" C# in Unity.

[rancid frost]

does unity always build with the default shaders (sprites/default, diffuse, etc..)

[leaden ice]

Like any other assets - it only builds with assets that are used/referenced in your scenes

[fading hull]

Hello, how can i make a button the interactable area when clicking/hovering/unhovering the image size of the button? i have searched a lot but haven't found anything useful, thanks a lot

no matter what i try its always using the transparent parts of the sprite when hovering over it, not using the sprite exactly (without the transparent parts of it)

[knotty sun]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.3/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Image-alphaHitTestMinimumThreshold.html

[fading hull]

is one of the things i tried, but its doing the opposite effect where the interaction area is in a inner part of the sprite

its like my image sprite but smaller the interaction area with that

so not sure what the issue is

[knotty sun]

then you need to look at your sprite and see what the alpha settings are on the pixels

[swift falcon]

im trying to make a fps game where you cans shoot, but i want the gun to be able to shoot real bullets, like spheres but i cant find a tutorial on it

[fading hull]

its just composed of red/black sprites, so it would be really visible if there were transparent pixels i don't see, maybe there is an option in the settings im missing? no idea

[swift falcon]

also i remmeber watching a video on how to shoot with real projectiles, but i dont know what it is now

[spring creek]

Rigidbodies on the bullets
AddForce(bulletDirection * speed, ForceMode.Impulse)

There are many physics based projectile tutorials out there

[swift falcon]

im new to coding, so how would i implemnent this?

[spring creek]

Use the words physics based and rigidbody when searching tutorials

[swift falcon]

ok

[knotty sun]

pixels can have transparency between 0 and 1. Even pixels with 0.7 alpha dont look transparent
wrong reply, sorry
@fading hull

[fading hull]

yea, i have checked them just in case, they are just plain red and black pixels

[swift falcon]

i still cant find any tutorials

[knotty sun]

then the alpha hit threshold should work

[swift falcon]

could you give me one?

[mossy oyster]

Hey, I recently added some trees to my game but adding 180k tris/vertices visible at anytime and 2400 prefabs is really bad for performances lol

Anys idea on how to fix this issue please? I thought of billboard but they'll look weird won't they?

I'll just make bigger trees so I have to spawn less

[gloomy helm]

can some one help rotate my ik target towards the floor when it is to far

[hexed pecan]

When what is too far?

And how do these screenshots relate to your problem, is that what you want or what you currently have?

[gloomy helm]

nvm i will use another way

[marsh mesa]

Any ideas why asigning a float's value to Time.time might not working? This is inside my Timer struct, which is in an "Entity" class which is not a monobehaviour. This works fine with other times, but it doesnt work specifically inside the Entity class. Everything before and after seems to work fine, if Debug.Log's are something to go by

Here's the entirety of my Timer Struct, if that's helpful in any way

[naive swallow]

What do the logs say?

[marsh mesa]

The log that returns the Time.time value works as intended, the one that checks the timer start time always returns negative infinity

[leaden ice]

How do you know which is which?

[marsh mesa]

even tho i cann ResetTimer() which should change it from negative infinity to Time.time

[leaden ice]

The logs don't have any kind of label

[marsh mesa]

Because i dont think Time.time can return a negative infinity ever?

[leaden ice]

Maybe some other log entirely

[naive swallow]

Do you have Collapse on

[leaden ice]

Add labels to your logs

[marsh mesa]

whats that

[naive swallow]

Because if it is, both of those logs would collapse into the same one

[naive swallow]

Where identical logs go into one row and increments a count

instead of appearing twice

[marsh mesa]

Oh

well, im certain it returns negative infinity, since the counter rises

[marsh mesa]

i do not have any other logs at the moment, i understand that adding labels is a good idea, but this isnt exactly helpful rn

[naive swallow]

No I think it's very helpful at the moment

[marsh mesa]

okay, lets try

[naive swallow]

Debug.Log($"{gameObject.name}'s invuln start time is {invulnTime.startTime}. Time.time is {Time.time}", this);

Use this log instead of the two separate ones

this gives both values in one line along with the object whose values they are

[marsh mesa]

Mhm, thanks

give me a second to add & check

Yeah, thats basically the same information i already had

it says negative infinity in russian now tho

[naive swallow]

Okay, now let's put a different log in ResetTimer, before you change startTime:

Debug.Log($"Resetting startTime, previous value {startTime}, new value {Time.time}");

[marsh mesa]

The timer struct exists in other places too, so i wont know for sure which one is from the box specifically

i guess i'll need to add a way to label it

[naive swallow]

It'll be labeled by virtue of what logs happen after it

You'll get a reset log, then one of the logs above

that'll show which object just called it

[marsh mesa]

oh okaye

Yep, same thing

no matter how much i perform the action

[simple egret]

The fact that it's a struct may have something to do with the problem, you're aware that you're copying the timers when you pass them around in/out of the methods, into other variables, right?

[naive swallow]

Wait it's a struct

[marsh mesa]

Would changing it into a class help? i'll try

[naive swallow]

Oh, I missed this. This should almost definitely be a class

[marsh mesa]

Okay yeah, that actually helped

[marsh mesa]

thanks!

I had a reason to turn it into a struct, but i guess i'll have to deal with that problem later

anyway, thanks, it works as intended now!

wonder what exactly was the problem tho, the conditions for it not working seem kinda arbitrary

[naive swallow]

Structs are passed by value. If you have a variable that holds a Timer and you pass it to another object, that's an entirely different timer. So probably invulnTimer was an entirely different Timer instance every time you called it. Classes are passed by reference, so updating the value on that invulnTimer would actually affect the source it came from

[marsh mesa]

Okay, that makes sense

i am aware that structs are value types, and classes are reference types, but i guess i didnt grasp all the implications of that, heh

thanks for explaining

[lime flower]

Does anyone know why random range is always returning zero in my script? When I log both my min and max variables they return as zero. This shouldn't be the case though because when I load the player data it sets level to 0 so they should be changing to 1 and 4 but in the end report as 0 each

[cold parrot]

You are not showing the code that has the source of the error

[lime flower]

I'm just trying to figure out why min/max isn't changing to the correct value if my "Level" is set to zero, console isn't posting any errors

[hexed pecan]

Have you logged level?

Also Debug.Log(min + max) just prints the sum of min and max, noth both separately

[lime flower]

Yeah I just figured that out, however that sum tells me both values aren't changing

Used the first level

Which is 4 - 8

No matter what level it's set to min and max aren't updating

[hexed pecan]

Have you confirmed that Update is getting called?

I don't know how these snippets relate to each other, maybe share the full script(s)

[lime flower]

   {
       PlayerData data = SaveSystem.LoadPlayer();
       score = FindObjectOfType<Score>();
       level = data.currentUpgrade;
       Debug.Log(min + max);
       Debug.Log("Level" + 1);
   }

   public void Update()
   {
       if (level == 0)
       {
           min = 1; max = 4;
       }

       if (level == 1)
       {
           min = 4; max = 8;
       }

       if (level == 2)
       {
           min = 8; max = 12;
       }

       if (level == 3)
       {
           min = 12; max = 16;
       }
   }

    public void ImmaculateIron()
    {
        importValue = Random.Range(min, max);

        Debug.Log("Immaculate Iron was chosen.");

        importText.text = "Immaculate Iron " + "- " + importValue;
    }

[simple egret]

Start runs before Update, so it's normal min and max do not have the correct values when you log them

Log them in void ImmaculateIron(), where you pick the random number

As well as in Update to ensure it's actually running

[leaden ice]

We still don't know what min or max are

Nor what level is

[simple egret]

It's at 1, according to the log, so it passes in the right path in Update

Just, too late for you to see it, since you log earlier

[lime flower]

From ImmaculateIron()

Also update is being called

[simple egret]

Wait I misread lol Debug.Log("Level" + 1); - that doesn't tell us anything

Log the actual value of level

[lime flower]

Whoops I was testing that I'll fix that

[leaden ice]

You probably are calling ImmaculateIron on a different instance of this script than the one where Update is running

I.e. probably you've referenced a prefab or something

[simple egret]

If you're not supposed to have more than 4 levels, consider adding

if (level > 3)
  Debug.LogError($"Invalid level value {level}", gameObject);

So you have a trace on what the value is, and which object emitted the log

[leaden ice]

also using else ifs would be more correct and more performant

[lime flower]

I'll try this to clean it up

[lime flower]

What's weird is that level no matter what is set to 1, this comes from setting the starting value to 1 from the initial launch of the game

and update is running

[leaden ice]

Update is running, yes. On a different instance of the script than the one you are calling ImmaculateIron on.

[lime flower]

Okay this makes more sense, update is only running for two frames on this script

Instead of blowing up the console with that message it just stops after two

[leaden ice]

then your script is being disabled or the object it's on is being deactivated or destroyed

or you have Collapse turned on in your console

[lime flower]

now its running per frame

but still no updating of min max

[leaden ice]

Back to this: #archived-code-general message

[simple egret]

If you get 2 logs while the messages are collapsed, they're probably from different instances

[leaden ice]

further evidence that it's two different instances

[lime flower]

when collapsed it's only one message

[somber nacelle]

Include the instance id in your log, GetInstanceID() will get it

[lime flower]

does the two messages tell me there's two instances?

the two messages only show with the id, only one shows without it

I've also managed to get min max to update

to 1 - 4

now import value doesn't update

[leaden ice]

yes those numbers are the different instance ids of the two instances

[lime flower]

and by two instances, it's two gameobjects with this same script??

[leaden ice]

two copies of the script

no indication if they're on different GameObjects or not

they could be

further logging could tell you of course

Or you can just start looking around your scene to find them

[raven orbit]

I just made my first script by following a tutorial on how to make player movement (i understood everything in it) what do you guys suggest i make next

[rigid island]

make the same thing again but without using the tutorial

[raven orbit]

okay, thanks

[leaden ice]

Well this script wouldn't really be relevant

[storm wolf]

hey, what would be faster, using a dictionary with mapped functions, or using a switch statement and calling the functions for each case there? e.g.

using Dictionary<MyType, Func<T, R>>

or

using

switch(MyObj.MyType){//call functions for each type}

[leaden ice]

The script that actually spawns the text would be

[leaden ice]

The difference will likely be negligible. It will technically depend on the performance of your type's hash and equals functions as well as how many items are in the switch

[storm wolf]

lets say theres 20 items, will switch be slower? also does it evaluate every case each time

and in my case my type is just an enum

[spring creek]

Profile it and see

[leaden ice]

The difference will be negligible, but yes, profile it.

If there's enough options in the switch it will use a jump table

[flint panther]

I'm following this tutorial to try and instantiate a skinned mesh renderer on my character and I'm confused. It isn't quite working
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSmEirb8JGM

public class EnemyBuilder : MonoBehaviour {
    [SerializeField] float gearLevel;
    [SerializeField] SkinnedMeshRenderer smr;
    [SerializeField] Transform[] bones;
    [SerializeField] Transform root;
    
    private void Awake() { Build(); }

    public void Build() {
        smr.bones = bones;
        smr.rootBone = root;
    }
}```

I know this is because the bones are not right. How can I do this though

This is for randomly generated outfits

[swift falcon]

Just wanna comment on how good that ragdoll is

[flint panther]

The colliders? Thanks

I look at Counter Strike 2 colliders

[swift falcon]

Games like Hitman 3 have perfect hitboxes, I feel like they arent even using physics, instead its some sort of Mesh/triangle detecting raycast. Wonder if thats possible

[hidden elbow]

hi there, im adding a acceleration system to my player and so to do that i use this code but the problem is when i press for example the left right arrow 1 is always going to be * by my acceleration and i was wondering if there was any way of getting rid of that 1 so that its just the acceleration that is being added to the player and not a constant 1 (or maybe im doing things wrong and if so then let me know)

also im using getaxisraw instead of getaxis (in update function) because its gives the exact same result (-1, 0 or 1) every time instead of fractions which makes it easier to control for me imo

    {
        // horizontal movement
        rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * horizontalSpeed, rb.velocity.y);


        /// acceleration
        if (horizontal < 0)
        {
            horizontalSpeed += accelerationSpeed;

        }
        else if (horizontal > 0)
        {
            horizontalSpeed -= -accelerationSpeed;

            if (horizontalSpeed > normalAcceleration)
            {
                horizontalSpeed = normalAcceleration;
            }
        }
    }

[hidden elbow]

basically what im trying to do is when i press right for axample, a force gets applied to my player constantly so it feels like theres zero friction and then i add a line of code to fradually slow the player down

[dense arch]

i get this error (im trying to set an image to a certain sprite to make the dialogue person who's talking)

idk what to do

[thin aurora]

You probably imported the wrong namespace

I don't remember the correct one though. There are two, you need the other one

Can you share your imported namespaces?

[dense arch]

wait whats a namespace

[thin aurora]

Top of your file, the list of using statements

They import namespaces

[dense arch]

Monobehaviour?

[thin aurora]

Your code is also in a namespace, often manually specified

However, in Unity you mostly work in a default namespace and you don't specify it

[thin aurora]

No? Top of your file, list of lines that start with using

[dense arch]

OOH LIKE using UnityEngine.UI

[thin aurora]

Yes

namespaces organize code

[dense arch]

ok i cant show rn but ill see what i imported

i’ll let you know

[thin aurora]

Try putting the following at the top of your file:
using Image = UnityEngine.UIElement.Image

If that fixes it, then UnityEngine.UIElement is the namespace you should use instead for your image, and you are likely using UnityEngine.UI

So the latter should be removed and replaced with the former namespace

[knotty sun]

you have the namespaces the wrong way round

[slate imp]

Hi guys, I can't find a way to bake occlusion culling in a prefab....
I have a couple of big prefabs and would like to bake the occlusion culling to gain fps

[thin aurora]

Please use the proper channel, this is a coding channel.

[slate imp]

oh well sorry

[dense arch]

these are my namespaces

[thin aurora]

Change unityEngine.UIElements to UnityEngine.UI

[dense arch]

this works!

tysm

whats uielements for?

[slate imp]

Hi guys, I've got a strange issue with my code....
I'm using, i have the simple code here.

But whenever i build an addresssable asset (which should not be related to this code)
i have the following error

[dense arch]

u need to write using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;

[slate imp]

Already got it

[dense arch]

the problem seems to be line 13

idk

wait for someone else to answer

[cosmic rain]

It probably builds the game. That error means that you're trying to include editor only code in a build.

[lean sail]

SceneAsset cannot be used in a build, it is under unity editor

[slate imp]

ohhh i didnt know SceneAsset was editor only

[cosmic rain]

Try removing the UnityEditor namespace and see for yourself.

That shouldn't be included in a build either

[slate imp]

ohhh okay

[fresh notch]

I been trying to get a collider to work with a line renderer, but for some reason the mesh is moved forward, it always happens and it multplies as farther aways as it gets from the first iteration, does anyone know how to solve this?

[hexed pecan]

Maybe a world space vs local space issue?

[leaden ice]

you'd have to explain you're doing exactly and how

[fresh notch]

i cant manage to get the code to show in c in discord

it's been along time since i tried to post some code

IEnumerator branchR(GameObject previousRoad){

        GameObject currentRoad =  new GameObject();
        currentRoad.transform.localScale = new Vector3( 1f, 1f, 0f);
        LineRenderer lineRenderer = currentRoad.AddComponent<LineRenderer>();
       

        lineRenderer.SetColors(Color.black,Color.black);
        lineRenderer.material = new Material(Shader.Find("Sprites/Default"));
        lineRenderer.widthMultiplier = 1f;
        lineRenderer.positionCount = 2;

        currentRoad.transform.rotation = previousRoad.transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler( 0, 0, a + Random.Range(-1,1));

        currentRoad.transform.position = previousRoad.transform.position - previousRoad.transform.right * 4f + currentRoad.transform.right * 2.5f;
        
        lineRenderer.SetPosition( 0, currentRoad.transform.position);
        lineRenderer.SetPosition( 1, previousRoad.transform.position);

        MeshCollider collider = currentRoad.AddComponent<MeshCollider>();
        Mesh lineMesh = new Mesh();

        lineRenderer.BakeMesh(lineMesh, false);
        collider.sharedMesh = lineMesh;

        current.Add(currentRoad);
        roads.Add(previousRoad);

        current.Remove(previousRoad);

        yield return null;
    }

[fresh notch]

I am trying to recreate a system for procedural road patterns, and I need to know if a segment has something infront of it, so i can either connect it or adjust its position so theres no collision

[leaden ice]

ok so it seems like you are indeed mixing up world space positions and local space positions

meshcollider positions need to be in local space for the MeshCollider
LineRenderer positions will depend on whether th LR is in world space or local space mode

[leaden ice]

There's a second parameter to BakeMesh you should use

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LineRenderer.BakeMesh.html

[fresh notch]

you mean the camera one?

[leaden ice]

no the useTransform bool

[fresh notch]

i switched on and off multiple times

to what it looks to no effect

[leaden ice]

Well one problem is they're two different objects

Or... are they? maybe not

[hexed pecan]

Seems like the LineRenderer is added to currentRoad

[leaden ice]

The docs only mention rotation and scale for the useTransform param..maybe it doesn't consider position

[fresh notch]

yeah its added to current road

[hexed pecan]

Are you only going to have one collider per one line segment (two points)?
Might as well use a boxcollider if that's the case

[fresh notch]

yes

[hexed pecan]

Anyways, is your LineRenderer using world space?

[fresh notch]

it's barely my first using c# and unity

so i have no idea

how i can check that

[hexed pecan]

It's a setting in the inspector

Not sure if it affects BakeMesh in any way

[fresh notch]

what i find strange its that as farther away it gets from the first interation of the system

the mesh appers farther away

[hexed pecan]

You have to offset the mesh vertices in some direction, but I'm having massive brain fog atm so I can't formalize it lol

Subtract the road's transform.position from each vertex?

[fresh notch]

but i am able to modify the verticies of the mesh?

[hexed pecan]

Try this cs var verts = lineMesh.vertices; for (int i = 0; i < verts.Length; i++) { verts[i] = verts[i] - currentRoad.transform.position; } lineMesh.SetVertices(verts);

[hexed pecan]

Yes, you can modify meshes

[fresh notch]

oh ok

yeah it looks like it may work

let me try it out

it's not working but i'll keep trying on other setting to see if theres any effect

[hexed pecan]

What happened when you tried?

[fresh notch]

it's seems like nothing has happened

[hexed pecan]

You added my code after BakeMesh, right?

[fresh notch]

yeah

[hexed pecan]

Because it should definitely do something

[fresh notch]

it dosent seem to have any effect

[hexed pecan]

Try with useTransform set to true in BakeMesh

[fresh notch]

I already did that

its having no effect

[hexed pecan]

Does it still have the issue where it is offseted further on more distant objects?

[hexed pecan]

@fresh notch Wait, try this but replace currentRoad with previousRoad

[fresh notch]

already did that

but its seems like sometihng changed

it's having some effect

yeah

no offset as further away as you get from first iterations

[hexed pecan]

When subtracting currentRoad position or what?

Ah, I think you need to take rotation into account too

[fresh notch]

yeah subrstacting current

[hexed pecan]

But I thought that useTransform would do that

[fresh notch]

yeah i also need to do something rotation

as its offset by a few degrees

[hexed pecan]

You would either need to:
-Keep the rotation of the road object at zero and instead of using transform.right, calculate the currentRoad's offset in some other way
Or
-Counter-rotate the vertices by the inverse of the road's rotation

The issue is that your object is rotated and it the mesh vertices end up rotated too

[fresh notch]

ok i get it

[hexed pecan]

This should work for countering the rotation (in the for loop):cs var v = verts[i]; v -= currentRoad.transform.position; // Remove positional offset v = Quaternion.Inverse(currentRoad.transform.rotation) * v; // Remove rotational offset verts[i] = v;

[fresh notch]

i may try to calculate the offset in another way

as for what i understand i wouldnt have to worry about this

if i just offset them in another way

[leaden ice]

Couldn't an InverseTransformPoint just handle all this position and rotation stuff

[hexed pecan]

...Yes 🤦‍♂️

[leaden ice]

v = currentRoad.transform.InverseTransformPoint(v);

[fresh notch]

ok thanks

i'll try it out

but i think i will redesing the entire system

as i will allow me to skip this calculations

[pastel imp]

Hello everyone I'm new here!

[hexed pecan]

You could use multiple points in one linerenderer too. Unless you want these gaps in the corners

[pastel imp]

Can somebody help me with animating a simple camera?

[fresh notch]

yeah i already know about that

but i am just testing out

[hexed pecan]

Also I'm pretty sure that a 3D MeshCollider with no depth won't really work for collisions here

[pastel imp]

I have camera and I want to make "cutscene" like for example you click an button and the camera will rotate 90 degrees in an animation how could I do that?

[fresh notch]

i'll just need to create a line renderer for each branch

[fresh notch]

when i looked it up

it seems it would work

but i still havent enabled collisions

so i'll test it out

[hexed pecan]

Alright

[fresh notch]

that dosent seem to work

[leaden ice]

show code

[pastel imp]

[pastel imp]

Thanks it works you're a lifesaver bc I had it broken for about 2 years

[spare island]

Is there a more efficient way to subscribe/unsubscribe to C# events for objects that are destroyed?

this can't be the best way

[leaden ice]

Nothing to do with efficiency your code will simply not work

[spare island]

how do you mean?

[leaden ice]

You are unsubscribing a completely different lambda instance

[hard estuary]

You can't unsubscribe lambdas.

[leaden ice]

it will not unsubscribe the anonymous lambda you subscribed with

[spare island]

oh

ohhhhhhhhhh thats what i was doing wrong

[leaden ice]

UnityServiceManager.OnInitialized += OnServicesInitialized;

UnityServiceManager.OnInitialized -= OnServicesInitialized;```
For the parameterless one, this is what you would do

for the other one, I recommend making a function that takes the correct parameter

[spare island]

yeah i kinda just added the () from habit

[leaden ice]

and doing similar

[leaden ice]

yeah that's... not a good habit

[spare island]

nope v-v

[leaden ice]

it's creating a whole separate anonymous function

[spare island]

well great wonder how many times i accidentally made lambdas

looks like i dropped a cup of thumbtacks but the thumbtacks are a bunch of very tiny memory leaks

fun fun fun

[gray mural]

I have a player, whose torso consists of Tilemap's Tiles.
The tiles are added and removed perfectly, but when recording PlayerController, Torso Tilemap and Face Tilemap on length decrease, and undoing the action manually, some Tiles just disappear randomly.

torsoTilemap.RefreshAllTiles(); // test
faceTilemap.RefreshAllTiles(); // test

Object[] dirtyObjects = new Object[] { this, torsoTilemap, faceTilemap };

Undo.RecordObjects(dirtyObjects, "Change player's length");

// Here: 
// Add Tiles to Tilemap / remove Tiles from Tilemap
// Only testTile is drawn for test
// private void SetTorsoTile(Vector2Int position, TileBase tile) =>
//     torsoTilemap.SetTile(position, tile ? testTile : null);

torsoTilemap.RefreshAllTiles(); // test
faceTilemap.RefreshAllTiles(); // test

dirtyObjects.SetDirty();

The extension method SetDirty enumerates through every Object and calls EditorUtility.SetDirty on it.

To ensure, RefreshAllTiles is called in Update. The issue happens in both edit and play modes

[gray mural]

Tilemap's Tiles disappear randomly on Undo

[mossy oyster]

Why my procedural meshes won't receive shadows?

"Receive shadows" option is on

[flint panther]

How do I spawn a skinned mesh renderer on a character?

I need to make randomized outfits

[tame summit]

Hey, if anyone could help me out a bit Im trying to make a computer terminal in my game but Im attempting to have a UI element always be selected even after giving input

[leaden ice]

Unity's eevent system concept of "selected" is often pretty limited for anything except the most basic use cases. What are you trying to accomplish with this? It's often better to build your own system depending on the needs.

[rigid island]

AddComponent

[tame summit]

Im making a terminal where the player can approch (3D space) and interact with "E" to focus on the terminal, while focused I only want an Input field to be selected so all the player has to do is input numbers. The issue Im having is that when I finish inputing some numbers the inputfield goes back to being Unselected and Its just a little awkward

[flint panther]

Thank you for this incredible insight, Navarone

But I am asking about how to make it work correctly. My character has a rig, and the skinned mesh renderer will not deform itself correctly until it has the right bones

But these bones are all very random, I don't want to do a loop searching for the same name of bone by string (yuck). What is an alternative?

[rigid island]

so maybe try not to be so vague asking you probably wont get a vague answer? 🤷‍♂️

[flint panther]

Okay, sorry for that

I had asked several times before with no response and got tired of typing

[rigid island]

You know you can just copy and paste previous question too

[flint panther]

It sounds like the server would not like it

Its okay, we are here now

I follow this tutorial here where he just uses the already assigned bones on the prefab character to spawn and assign the new one. I do not know why he does this, it removes the point of instantiating a new one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSmEirb8JGM

(14:12)

[leaden ice]

I would probably just not use an InputField for that.

or just disable anything related to selection for it

[rigid island]

ohh yeah codemonkey doesnt explain things well. Ill take a look when I get back if anything

[flint panther]

Thank you

I understand what is happening, just why is my question

The idea here is to spawn gear in runtime.. but you need reference to the right bones with the gear already on the object? Pointless

[rigid island]

yeah not sure because I havent dealt with bone based customizations yet :\

[cerulean nova]

How can I disable AssetPostProcessors for temporary?

[dawn nebula]

If you're working in WebGL, can you not use async/await at all?

[leaden ice]

you can use async await

you can't use threads

[dawn nebula]

And this is a limitation of browsers themselves, less so Unity?

[dawn nebula]

Ah kk. In that case I'm using a library to make a call to Parse Server.
https://github.com/parse-community/Parse-SDK-dotNET
Is there anything to keep in mind when making a web request from within Unity? Should I wrap this in a Coroutine so it has a similar flow to the UnityWebRequest documentation?

[dawn nebula]

I assume the logic here is that I want to keep code executing at specific points within Unity's execution cycle. If I just do raw async then who knows when the code completes? Wrapping it in a coroutine at least lets you resume at a controlled point?

[rigid island]

just curious why are you using this for ?

[rigid island]

wdym it completes when you get past the awaits lol

async Task Something()
{
await Task.Delay(2000)
//done
}

similiar to how some coroutines operations can be stored in AsyncOperation you can store something in a Task for checking later

Task task = Something();
if (task.IsCompleted)
{
//done
}

[dawn nebula]

Right but if I called the method Something without the await keyword, and Debug.Log("Hello") was after Task.Delay, then I don't exactly know when that Debug is gonna go off, right? Like swap Task.Delay with some API call. Who knows when that'll come back.

[small schooner]

Check Unitask it mix of async and Coroutines

[rigid island]

why would you call an async method synchronously , defeats whole point of async no?

#1179447338188673034

[young tapir]

Has anyone got an easy way to apply the rotation of arrow to the direction RootPhysicBody is forced? It's probably a pretty basic question but I just can't see how to do it

[dawn nebula]

Is it not the same with Task.Run?

[leaden ice]

arrow.transform.forward = vector3;

[young tapir]

Ah

Okay thank you, I feel silly now

[rigid island]

Task.Run can be await because it returns a task but also can be a fire and forget

[dawn nebula]

Ok I think I'm getting lost in the weeds here. I am making some Web Request. I don't know when that data is coming back because the internet is a series of tubes. How do I make Unity (assuming I am building for WebGL) happy while making sure I don't lock up the game? Do I wrap it in a coroutine and check task.IsCompleted? That looks similar to the UnityWebRequest flow.

[rigid island]

yes exactly if you're using Unity imo its better to stick to coroutines because unity manages them better, but async works totally fine

the ugs sdk from unity is all async and task anyway

but WebRequests i would use inside unity

also you can use the observer (events) pattern here to alert you when something completed

[dawn nebula]

Ok I'll wrap it in a coroutine then. I do want to ask for my own interest though. Why bother with a Coroutine? Why not just use the regular async/await flow?

[rigid island]

there are a few caveats that need to be addressed thats why unity came up with the Awaitable class, this video explains better than I could
https://youtu.be/X9Dtb_4os1o

[dawn nebula]

I've seen this video, and it seems to deal mostly with how Tasks don't really bother following Unity object life cycle rules.

Object was destroyed? Don't care.

Editor exited play mode? Don't care.

[rigid island]

yeah basically thats why it mostly works fine

[small schooner]

Check Unitask it has both functionality coroutines and C# tasks

[rigid island]

now days, is it really worth the hassle of managing another library in your project

I think I only used Unitask once though so I cannot speak from xp 😛

[small schooner]

I used it in production project to fix bug that wasn’t possible to fix it by C# tasks

[rigid island]

wasn't awaitable class basically made to merge this gap and pretty much make libraries like that kinda moot?

[small schooner]

Tasks is much clear in code than coroutines but coroutines can do much more because they are native to Unity 3d that’s why I use Unitask since that bug in my each new project

[gusty aurora]

Can someone confirm that setting a rigidbody to kinematic will also set its accumulated forces to a weird value ?

[leaden ice]

No idea - but accumulated forces won't have any effect on a kinematic body

Easy to test.

[gusty aurora]

Wdym "easy to test"...? The entire point is to know if that weird behaviour happens on someone else's project

Of course I know they won't have any effect

[leaden ice]

easy to test. Set it up. Apply some forces, print the accumulated forces, set it to kinematic, print them again

see what happens

[gusty aurora]

I did, and it sets them to a weird value, as written in my first message.

I'm asking for help to see if the same behaviour happens on another computer

[topaz whale]

Hi guys,can u send ur favourite videos on how to make a game menu?I am making a 2d game for android if that specifies the type of menu

You should show what this weird value is, and also the code/setup used like if this is 2d or 3d if you're expecting anyone to put effort to copy your setup

And it s kinda relevant to code as well ig

Any idea if Muse Animate will be released for Unity 6 anytime soon?

[wide terrace]

The prerelease is available via the com.unity.muse.animate package. Also - not a coding question.

[digital girder]

coding UI question: so I have an upgrade screen and I disable the upgrade button if the player uses it which works well enough, but then I can't really navigate past that button to other buttons because it's disabled. How do people normally handle something like this? Just don't disable buttons and I guess make sure my 'if statements' check for contingencies?

[leaden ice]

why can't you navigate past it? 🤔

[digital girder]

I believe because it's disabled. Here's a picture of the upgrade screen in question. Mouse and keyboard work fine. It's more of a controller issue. The controller - through the event system can't really see the next button over from a disabled button, at least that's what I think is happening.

if shield 1 is selected, the controller won't go to dash 1 if sword 1 is disabled

[leaden ice]

are you disabling it or setting it as inactive?

also if the keyboard works the controller should work

they use the same system for navigation

[digital girder]

sorry, mouse works, not keyboard/controller

I'm setting interactable and enabled to false

[leaden ice]

it should only be interactable = false

not enabled = false

[digital girder]

ok, I'll try that. Thank you

[young tapir]

I'm back at it again with more questions 😅

I just set up a little script for referencing an array of skinned mesh renderers with the intent to change every renderers material emission as one, using a coroutine like so:

        public IEnumerator Emissive()
        {
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
            float tts = 1f;
            float timeElapsed = 0;
            Color toHitC = Color;
            Color CurrentC = CurrentColor;
            float tempR;
            float tempG;
            float tempB;
            float tempA;
            Color tempColor;

            while (timeElapsed <= tts)
            {
                tempR = Mathf.Lerp(CurrentC.r, toHitC.r, (timeElapsed / tts));
                tempG = Mathf.Lerp(CurrentC.g, toHitC.g, (timeElapsed / tts));
                tempB = Mathf.Lerp(CurrentC.b, toHitC.b, (timeElapsed / tts));
                tempA = Mathf.Lerp(CurrentC.a, toHitC.a, (timeElapsed / tts));
                tempColor = new Color(tempR, tempG, tempB, tempA);
                m.SetColor("_EmissionColor", tempColor);
                timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
                yield return null;
            }
            CurrentColor = Color;
            yield break;
        }```

is there a way I can group every material into one list and modify that? Currently m is just a single material which is no good.

[leaden ice]

yes... exactly as you said. Put them in a list or an array

loop over it

[dusky lake]

you can lerp colors with Color.Lerp btw 😄

[young tapir]

How exactly would I get the materials from the SMRs in a list though?

[leaden ice]

Well you have a list of the SMRs already no?

Just iterate over that, no?

[young tapir]

I did not know that, a friend just explained how through the method I have now. I'll have a look at that later on 🙂

[leaden ice]

tempColor = Color.Lerp(CurrentC, toHitC, (timeElapsed / tts)); < replaces all 5 lines

[young tapir]

Hmm, not sure I'm familiar with that

[leaden ice]

you're not familiar with.. iterating over lists?

[young tapir]

Nup

[dusky lake]

for/foreach?

[leaden ice]

just a for/foreach loop^

[young tapir]

I've used foreach loads, not all that familiar with it

[dusky lake]

foreach (var item in list) {...}

[leaden ice]

Kind of basic C#....

can't really use lists without knowing loops

[dusky lake]

yeah you should really look up the basic loops of C# 😄

[young tapir]

If smrs is already a list then I'm not too sure how I'd get like, smrs.materials, if that makes sense

[leaden ice]

foreach (SkinnedMeshRenderer smr in smrs) {
  Material m = smr.material;
}```

[young tapir]

I think I stopped watching tutorials just before stuff like that 😅
Only time I use foreach is when I'm getting a specific component in an array of other components, not materials on components

[leaden ice]

literally the same thing

[young tapir]

Ah

I was doing a stupid

Thank you

[lean sail]

you should really go further into basics of c# then, loops are really like week one stuff.

[young tapir]

Does that set m to be every material or just the latest one?

That'll hopefully be the last stupid question

[leaden ice]

The code in the loop runs once for each renderer

each time it runs, it's the specific material for that specific renderer

If there are 5 renderers in the list, the code will run 5 times

and m will be each of the different materials, in turn

only one at a time

"for each", it's straight up english

[young tapir]

Is there a way to have all of the materials be one list that I can just modify with setColor?

[leaden ice]

i don't see how that would be any different than this

you would then just be writing a foreach loop over that list

and do the same thing you do here

[dusky lake]

you can make a utility function that just executes the loop and use that utility function 😄

[leaden ice]

You seem to have some idea that a list is "all the things at once", it's not. It's a collection of individual things

[leaden ice]

yes and this utility function would... again, just be a for loop over the list lol

[young tapir]

If I start the coroutine each time it loops will it lerp the emission of each material in the way I think? I am watching a video on loops right this second

After I change Material m to m, that is.

[leaden ice]

Since Emissive doesn't take a parameter, it will start that many coroutines but they're not going to do anything to the particular material m there

you're ignoring the variable

you would want to pass m into the coroutine as a parameter

really though, you should pass the whole list into the coroutine
and put the loop inside the coroutine to loop over them all each frame

[dusky lake]

Yeah i know, just so he can have it out of the coroutine, and have his one pretty function he asked for 😄

[young tapir]

Noted 😄

I will remove the wait, the full coroutine will be in a separate DLL

Thank you both!

[leaden ice]

by the way - just one last note here

If all the SkinnedMeshRenderers are using the same material, you don't even need to do this really

If you just get the material as sharedMaterial or reference it directly from the inspector, you could just modify the one material and they'll all be affected

[young tapir]

Currently, my friend is still modelling everything and I expect it will be using more than one material

[young tapir]

One material would be preferred and I'll make a note of this though, if I can just do that it would be far easier 😄

[dusky lake]

Oh and a note from me too, if you want to use SetColor directly on the List you can utilize Extension methods:

using System.Collections.Generic;

public static class MaterialListExtension
{
    public static void SetColor(this List<SkinnedMeshRenderer> list, string name, Color color)
    {
        foreach (var skinnedMeshRenderer in list)
        {
            var m = skinnedMeshRenderer.material;
            m.SetColor(name, color);
        }
    }
}

this way you can call list.SetColor("_EmissionColor", color); directly

but yeah not going to get around using loops 😄

[young tapir]

I am going to save this.. I see it becoming very useful

[young tapir]

Ah hang on, does this lerp or just instantly flip to the next colour?

Looks like it'd only flip to the colour

[dusky lake]

yes you need to lerp the input color and call that function every time you make a new step on that lerp

[placid star]

@raw token hello

I have python programming background and im new to unity and C#. I am following youtube tutorials on making a 3D fps game. I am trying to figure out the falling/dying + respawning part right now
I tried some forums and it didnt work
This is the code for my trigger
player have rigidbody
trigger has rigidbody and box collider and I checked the box IsTrigger
im not sure what I did wrong, but from what I understand, player.transform.position is the variable that holds the player position, transform is the category and position is under the transform category. By setting it to equal the respawn point I can teleport to the respawn point. I also tried setting it to a vector3 and it also didnt work
The camera should follow the player right? would it be that im just setting the gameobject player to respawn but the camera falls through?

for future reference, you should paste the code instead of screenshots

[rigid island]

also your IDE does not look configured 🤔

I can't even tell from this screenshot which one is the player

why does the respawn trigger have a rigidbody with gravity

[spring creek]

I did tell them about that in #💻┃code-beginner
I told them to do the vs code link, so I hope that is right haha

[rigid island]

ahh crosspost, very nice

only judging by colors rn does not look like it. at minimum classes should be green

I am working on procedural terrain generation in unity using the unity job system

I am able to get 200+ fps in 5000 sqr unity unit map which is divided in 1600 chunks and per chunk 75 subdivision which is total 54 million tris , in order to optimise the rendering I added culling which will render depending on the distance and view angle ...

Similar results are in larger maps too.

|| Is it something great? IDK what you guys think ||

I tried both classic perlin noise and simplex noise from the mathematics Library and was able to notice 2 to 10 fps difference.. (snoise is more performant)
Currently the world is generated using simplex noise

You need to add tesselation base on distance as well.

Also, you should post in #1180170818983051344

[ruby seal]

Something like Level of detail?

[ruby seal]

Sorry for that, should I delete and repost it?

[steady moat]

Search what is dynamic tesselation. Unity Terrain does that.

[steady moat]

No need to delete, but if you have any update you should create a post there

hello, sorry, i'm french and my english is not very good, where can i find a help for a script in unity and, i don't understand "privileges" in a unity forum, thanks for your help and again sorry 🥴 😕

[somber nacelle]

you can ask for help here. just be sure to check #854851968446365696
the forums are currently readonly since they are being migrated to the discussions site in the next few days

[barren edge]

oh okay, thanks, but, you know the "privileges" for can read a help in the forum unity ? i could write before, but now, i don't can because i don't have "must privileges", i very don't understand

[somber nacelle]

i just said why that is happening. the forums are currently readonly because they are being migrated to the discussions site.

ho sorry, i think your post it's for a discord discussion 😅

[somber nacelle]

what? i am referring to the unity forums site which is currently set to read only. you cannot post on the unity forums site because it is read only now. this is due to the migration to the discussions site which is taking place over the next several days

[barren edge]

ok, i understand, very thanks for your help and, sorry for my not understand your latest post 🙏

you know help me for bug in video game 2D by chance ?

[somber nacelle]

#854851968446365696

[barren edge]

it's complicated, i'm new in the server, and my english is not perfect, so it's very not simple, i need to descripting my bug for you (it's i understand😕 ) ???

[somber nacelle]

use a translator service if you do not understand.

[barren edge]

yes, i use since before 😅

so i go to the #💻┃code-beginner because i'm beginner and i need help ?

it's logic in fact...

[somber nacelle]

you need to actually describe your issue using the guidelines provided in #854851968446365696

[barren edge]

ok i search

ok, i take a screen-shot and descript my problem, but, i don't have error script, look, my screen shot and the description please (thanks for your patiently)

my problem is :

my player stay hang of my wall when i go against in my wall, you know why and how to repar that bug, i don't very know how explain that problem becaus i don't know where is the problem source😕

[steady moat]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmGdDzKuJVk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSRKS9b0-KU

Do not know if they are talking about it in the video, but you can also RayCast/BoxCast before moving to prevent the player from moving if they would get in the wall.

[barren edge]

very very very thanks, sorry, i've 16 years hold, i'm French and learn solo since 4 months, i've create very project for learn physics 3D, but 2D it's very different 🙏 🙏 😃

ok thanks for your advice 😉

[steady moat]

I really recommend you to work on your English. Almost all resources are in English.

i know, it's very important for me, because i've a problem for learn a Language, but speak in English and read English every moment, it's cool for learn, that get used to speak English 🙂

[knotty sun]

May I suggest you use Google Translate but in reverse, English-> French. Type in English, when it makes sense in French then it probably makes sense in English as well

[barren edge]

yes i think too, but i writ in English without Google Translate, because i know about writ in English, but read it's must difficulty, because your vocabulary is must richer than mine

[knotty sun]

but your English is not good and it makes understanding you very difficult

Hey, does anyone know how I can reference a variable in a script that is in Assembly?

[cold parrot]

Assembly has no concept of variables, so no. Your scripts also cannot read registers directly if you want to do that you need to use assembly and copy that data into a memory address a c# script can read.

[somber nacelle]

they probably meant that the class that contains the variable is in a different assembly

and in that case they need to read the documentation for assembly definitions

[left anvil]

I wanted to refer to SaveContainer, it is a public static variable, the script is in the Assets/Scripts folder, I did not add any assembly there

The script from which I want to refer to it is in assembly

[somber nacelle]

if SaveContainer is in the Assembly-CSharp assembly but you are working from a different one, then i will refer you back to this: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptCompilationAssemblyDefinitionFiles.html

[left anvil]

Ok thanks, I'll check this

[vale bridge]

How come I'm getting a nullreference exception at line 50 when I try to access the width and height of the texture2D? https://pastebin.com/fTgELayY

If I set the hotspot of the cursor as Vector2.zero the texture replaces the current cursor with no issue, though

Which means somehow accessing the texture itself is fine but not its width and height?

[strange gust]

Its hard to fix something if you dont exactly know the problem, try logging some stuff and see which one is null

[somber nacelle]

you don't assign to shootingCursor until after you attempt to use it (which means it never gets assigned since the NRE causes execution of that method to stop before it has been assigned)

[vale bridge]

Omg can't believe I missed this

Thank you

[somber nacelle]

for future reference, check this out for how to solve a NullReferenceException: https://unity.huh.how/runtime-exceptions/nullreferenceexception
there was only one object on that line that could have been null, so it was simply a matter of seeing where that method was being called from since the null object was the parameter passed to it

[vale bridge]

Aye aye 🫡

[radiant marten]

/* Component Classes */
public class B : A {
  public override void onFoo() {
    Debug.Log("Foo B");
  }
}

public class C : A {
  public override void onFoo() {
    Debug.Log("Foo C");
  }
}

/* Parent Class */
public class OpSys_Clickable : A {
  public virtual void onFoo() {}
}

/* Finder */
A findComponent;
foreach (RaycastResult i in results) {
  if (i.gameObject.TryGetComponent<A>(out findComponent)) {
    A.onFoo();
  }
}```
If I have a structure like this, where I have a GameObjects with B/C scripts added as a component, is there a way that I can easily find all items that inherit class A and trigger their overwritten methods instead of looking for each instance of a B/C/etc?

[somber nacelle]

that would be how

[leaden ice]

GetComponents<A>

Assuming it can have multiple

[somber nacelle]

when you have a reference to an instance of type B stored in a variable of type A and call a method that has been overridden, it will run the override version fo that method

[leaden ice]

If each only has one then just a regular TryGetComponent works

[somber nacelle]

it's only when you hide a method, such as with the new operator that it wouldn't do that. so for this:

public class A { public void Foo(); public virtual void Bar(); }
public class B : A { public new void Foo(); public override void Bar(); }

A a = new B();
a.Foo(); //calls the Foo method defined in class A
(a as B).Foo(); //calls the Foo method defined in class B
a.Bar(); //call the Bar method overridden in class B

[raw token]

can somebody help me with cosmetics in a VR game

[somber nacelle]

this is a code channel

[raw token]

so wheres the help with VR cosmetics channel

[somber nacelle]

#🔎┃find-a-channel

[raw token]

i cant even talk in there 💀

[somber nacelle]

you're meant to read it

please put at least some thought into what you are doing

[radiant marten]

alright thanks everyone, it wasn't triggering so I suppose there's some other problem with my code I gotta figure out

[raw token]

i still dont see it

can u js tag the help with VR cosmetics channel

[somber nacelle]

note that RaycastHit.gameObject would refer to the gameobject with the Rigidbody on it if it has one, if you are trying to get a component from the gameobject that has the collider (if it is a child of the rigidbody) then use the hit.collider

[somber nacelle]

how about you put literally any amount of effort that isn't 0 into getting help for your issue instead of making everyone else do the thinking for you. finding the correct channel is literally brain dead simple if you just read the information provided to you

[raw token]

i did read it but I cant find a help with VR channel or cosmetics.

[somber nacelle]

then you didn't read it

[raw token]

is it this one?

#🥽┃virtual-reality

[somber nacelle]

that depends, is your "VR cosmetics" question related to vr?

[raw token]

yeah

[somber nacelle]

then what do you think

[raw token]

this all coudve been avoided if u js tagged #🥽┃virtual-reality

[somber nacelle]

there are so many ways to handle dialogue there isn't really one "great" answer to this. I'd look into some of the popular dialogue system assets to see how they handle it.
though personally I would do something crazy like build a node based editor that allows me to create nice dialogue trees that i can then serialize to use in my code

[somber nacelle]

this also could have been avoided had you put any thought into what you were doing instead of crying about how i wasn't spoon feeding you the answer to where you need to ask your question when i provided the common resource for searching for the correct channel

[raw token]

it aint spoon feeding, its being helpful.

[somber nacelle]

that likely won't scale very well tbh, if you end up with complex dialogue trees, trying to find the correct scriptable objects in your assets folder might end up a nightmare

[somber nacelle]

okay, next time you ask for help i'll be sure to get the bib and high chair ready so you'll be prepared to receive my answers

[knotty sun]

being helpful is showing you how to find the answer. Spoonfeeding is giving you the answer. So yes, it is spoonfeeding

[raw token]

or maybe js talk to me like a normal human instead of being passive aggressive in every message you send.

[raw token]

nobody invited you, steve.

[somber nacelle]

you can stop dragging this shit on and go ask your question in the correct channel now instead of continuing to be a complete nuisance

[knotty sun]

I don't need to be invited to correct your misconceptions

[raw token]

i already did

[somber nacelle]

congrats, your question had nothing at all to do with vr!

[raw token]

what?

yes it does

[somber nacelle]

your issue is not related to it being vr in any way. it is just a question about parenting and positioning objects.

[raw token]

yes but its in a VR game

[vagrant blade]

Either way it's unrelated here. You can leave it in #🥽┃virtual-reality and wait for an answer.

No need to keep this whole thing going.

Is gone because I've answered it.

[raw token]

but i dont wanna leave it in #🥽┃virtual-reality if its not the correct channel

[vagrant blade]

It's fine, you can leave it there. Move on, this conversation is beyond unecessary at this point.

[vale bridge]

Is it a better implementation if I have a manager script that gives my homing missiles targets or should I put the logic on the missiles themselves, practically does it make a difference?

[vagrant blade]

Practically it makes no difference. Organizationally, it's probably cleaner to provide the target to the missile from the thing actually tracking/doing the firing.

And then let the missile store the target and work the results on its own.

[vale bridge]

Gotcha

Thanks!

Where do i find the Client Secret (I have bought a Google Play Dev Account and made the app but i cant find the Client Secret)

[rigid island]

did you google it

[deft kindle]

yea

[rigid island]

so did you look where it says to look?

[deft kindle]

yea but there was only the Client ID not the Client Secret

[rigid island]

iirc it gives you a json you were supposed to download with the sceret

havent touched google stuff in a while

when you created , pretty sure it gives you client secret too

[deft kindle]

no it did not i tried to look

[rigid island]

the guides i saw on the website say you do idk.
this is more of a google question than unity code question

[deft kindle]

yea well idk where else to ask since i need the Client Secret for my unity game

[deft kindle]

Idk how to setup Google Play Games Login

[rigid island]

so read the manual

[deft kindle]

its missleading since google remove the client secret

[rigid island]

google for ya

their unity sdks are hot garbage

Unity has these instructions for their own Authentication login, but who knows if its the same still
https://docs.unity.com/ugs/en-us/manual/authentication/manual/platform-signin-google-play-games

[cold parrot]

Don’t trust web devs to make game stuff

Imagine a world where you can just assume you have infinite resources. Imagine giving people in that world a tool that makes it easy to solve easy problems. Imagine what happens if they use that tool to solve difficult problems.

[deft kindle]

I found out that you needed to make a web OAuth client ID for getting the Client Secret and it should have been in the docs

[rigid island]

it says that though lol

is just you have to actually read and click the right spots
1.https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/unity/unity-start

2.https://developer.android.com/games/pgs/console/setup

but yeah they dont specify anything about generated keys/secrets and you kinda have to already know how these things work

google really doesn't gaf about unity anyway

they make so much money with their own services this is chump change

[vale bridge]

Is it common for prefabs to have an inactive RigidBody which is then activated later instead of adding the rigidbody when something happens?

[somber nacelle]

Rigidbody does not inherit from Behaviour so it cannot be enabled/disabled. at best you could make it kinematic, but that isn't the same as disabled

[gray mural]

You usually simply have a Rigidbody on prefabs and don't change it throughout the game

Note that Rigidbody is not running on a prefab if it's not spawned in the scene

[vale bridge]

right right, I had a problem where I needed something similar to that but I found out that addign the componentwhen I needed was simpler

[vale bridge]

The only reason I don't have rb on the prefab in the first place is that I wanted it to move with its parent

And when it later detaches I add the rb component via script

Is this an acceptable way of doing things or nah

[gray mural]

You rarely add anything

[vale bridge]

hmm i see

[gray mural]

Although, cannot answer the question without more information provided

[vale bridge]

How would you solve this then with an rb component?

[gray mural]

If it moves if its parent, it doesn't need its own Rigidbody

Well, it rarely does

[vale bridge]

I see, in my particular case I wanted the child to detach later, which is why I added rb via script if that makes sense?

[gray mural]

The thing, which comes to my mind, is a moving arena with the player as its child. Both have Rigidbody. The player can move on its own, and also moves whenever its parent, arena, does

[gray mural]

Yes, it does

[deft kindle]

yea well i could not find it

[terse garnet]

guys, i'm trying to implement unity IAP in my project, in the test unity it works very well with the products i've registered for testing, but when testing in a production environment, UnityPurchasing is not initialized, i'm running UnityPurchasing.Initialize(); but it doesn't give me feedback if it failed or if it initialized and i simply don't have information about the products.

[knotty sun]

now read what you have written and ask yourself 'could I help some one with only that information?'

can i make it so if it hits nothing its false?

public SceneAsset sceneName;
I get this error on VisualStudio but not on Unity: The type or namespace name 'SceneAsset' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This is ... irritating 🙄

[somber nacelle]

regenerate project files

[olive bobcat]

Cool, thank you! 🍻 🙂

[olive bobcat]

I get it, it's because when I will build the game the UnityEditor reference get lost!

[somber nacelle]

well no, the issue was likely just that your editor didn't actually create a csproj file for the UnityEditor assembly and regenerating project files forced it to do so

[olive bobcat]

So I will replace SceneAsset with public UnityEngine.Object sceneName; and I'll grab the name

[somber nacelle]

but if that code isn't for editor-only stuff then you'll need to change that because SceneAsset does not exist in a build

[olive bobcat]

Oh.. ok I get it, anyway the error pops out again after a few minutes.

[somber nacelle]

did you restart visual studio after clicking the regenerate project files button?

[olive bobcat]

yes, I closed it, regenerated the project files and restarted the editor.

Anyway I've fixed it by changing the type 😉

#endif

[terse garnet]

[waxen socket]

yes, why not

[gray mural]

When calling the wrapped method inside of the code, not wrapped in this conditon, is it just not called?

[simple egret]

Yes, but make sure all places where you call this method are also #if'd, otherwise you'll get compilation errors.
You can also use #else to stub one out on build

#if UNITY_EDITOR
  void Method()
  {
      // Editor implementation
  }
#else
  void Method() { /* empty */ }
#endif

[waxen socket]

it will not compile in this case

During iteration, you most likely accidentally create temporary copies of them. It's because when you assign a struct to a variable it assigns its value, not reference.
The easiest way of dealing with this problem would be changing this struct to a class. Another solution is to make sure you always refer to the struct's value directly.

[frosty token]

cool, yeah making them by ref would be ideal because rewriting these array items would be a pain

thanks, changing the struct to a class worked 👍

[fervent jacinth]

Im trying to make a zero g player controller (like outer wilds) with fully axis independent movement. I need camera lerping for the smooth feel. Heres what I tried, but when the player goes upside down, the controls are inverted.

Quaternion yAxis = Quaternion.AngleAxis(pitch, Vector3.right);
Quaternion xAxis = Quaternion.AngleAxis(yaw, Vector3.up);
transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, xAxis * yAxis, drag * Time.deltaTime);```

[hard estuary]

Here is a sample code as an example to what I've written earlier:

struct Test
{
  public int x;
}

Test[] tests = new Test[4];  

void Start()
{
  int count = tests.Length;
  for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
    tests[i].x = i + 1; // It will update structs in array
  for (int i = 0; i < count; i++)
  {
    var test = tests[i]; // It will create a copy of structs from the array
    test.x = i + 2; // It will modify a copy of structs from the array, but won't modify original structs
  }
}

[wide terrace]

That sounds like a movement issue rather than anything to do with your camera code. Is your movement supposed to be relative to the player, or to the camera - and does your movement code reflect that accurately?

[fervent jacinth]

nope! its a camera issue

the camera controls get inverted

[wide terrace]

oh the camera control - gotchya 👌. Looks like Steve has a better idea for you in #💻┃code-beginner

[frosty token]

yeah i see! i must have done that var test = tests[i]; // It will create a copy of structs from the array when i was testing with the for loop that i thought would avoid creating a copy. I might actually switch back to structs instead of the classes and apply this fix

[fervent jacinth]

you have any ideas?

[frosty token]

if anybody reads this later and wants to know how to do it, it like this for keeping the ref to the struct

for (int a = 0; a < AttachTo.Length; a++)
{
    for (int t = 0; t < AttachTo[a].type.Length; t++)
    {
        for (int h = 0; h < component.Host.Length; h++)
        {
            if (component.Host[h].attachmentPoint != other.transform)
            {
                continue;
            }
            for (int ht = 0; ht < component.Host[h].type.Length; ht++)
            {
                if (AttachTo[a].type[t] == component.Host[h].type[ht])
                {
                    Debug.Log($"Found compatible attachment {AttachTo[a].attachmentPoint.name} on {gameObject.name} to {other.transform.name}");
                    Attach(ref AttachTo[a], other.transform, ref component.Host[h]);
                    isAttached = true;
                    return;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

[wide terrace]

I'm pretty rusty across the board... but are yAxis and xAxis just floats for your input?

[fervent jacinth]

pitch & yaw are the floats

mouse x and mouse y

[wide terrace]

ah right 👍

[wide terrace]

I'm much rustier than I thought. But I'll play with it a bit. I think Steve was on the right track - it seems like the rotation needs to be made relative to the player's current orientation rather than working in world-space

[fervent jacinth]

thats what i thought too, with the Space.Self in the transform.rotate

i just cant find a way to do that with quaternion.angleaxis

[wide terrace]

I wonder if you could just like

transform.rotation = Quaternion.RotateTowards(
  transform.rotation,
  transform.rotation * Quaternion.Euler( pitch, yaw, 0f ),
  drag * Time.deltaTime
);

What's wrong with Application.targetFrameRate?
When I set 60 I've got 45 (in my 90HZ android)
When I set -1 I've got 30
When I set 90 I've got 70+ (good)

Optimized Frame Pacing is turned off
vsync is 0

[dusk apex]

Is this a desktop app?
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Application-targetFrameRate.html

Because Application.targetFrameRate causes frame pacing issues on desktop, if you are targeting a desktop platform, use QualitySettings.vSyncCount instead of this property.

Note that platform and device capabilities affect the frame rate at runtime, so your game might not achieve the target frame rate.

[plain moon]

I test in on my android device

I don't get reason of this issue. I used it all time before and have no problem, but now Optimized Frame Pacing was added and etc.?

[dusk apex]

Not sure, this might not be a code question but rather a feature question. You likely get better support in #💻┃unity-talk or #📱┃mobile than here.

[deep oyster]

Is there a good way to detect this sort of scenario? The character's circle collider on the corner of a square collider? I have some code to provide a little boost if moving to the right in this situation so you can climb onto the ledge instead of getting stuck on the corner, but right now I'm doing this with like, sending down a ray from each side of the character and testing distance and that's pretty gross and doesn't work in certain situations

I'm using the same raycasting technique to detect the slope of whatever ground I'm on and I assume there's gotta be a better way

[woeful spire]

a good way of getting a lot of information with only one cast would be using CircleCast, assuming you're in 2D.
Among other things, you get the normal of whatever surface you're on, which you can then use to detect edges and so on. Either testing with angle or dot product with the normal should be what you want to do.

[nocturne dawn]

I have a top down game and I made a object transparent but I only want the transparency to be for another specific gameobject is that possible to do easily? Like have it for example when a enemy goes through a powerup it will show the enemy through it but not the lines of my ground

[sly ivy]

Hi, so I'm completely stumped over an error Im getting exclusively in build. Im working on a sort of music playlist. It works completely fine within editor but when in build, it gives me index out of bounds in the array error

which makes no sense cus it works completely fine within editor

Console points me at this specific part of the code: ```
public void ChangeSong(int trackPicked)
{

    //Tracks the clips that have been played and plays in random order.
    if (!beenPlayed[trackPicked])
    {
        tracksPlayed++;
        beenPlayed[trackPicked] = true;

        playlist.clip = tracks[trackPicked];
        curIndex = trackPicked;
        playlist.Play();

        DisplayTrackName();

        //DEBUG SECTION
        Debug.Log("Changed track");
    }
    else
    {
        playlist.Stop();
    }
}

[vivid halo]

Set a breakpoint on the line that is giving the out of index error and observe the index (int trackPicked) and the list beenPlayed

[sly ivy]

Its saying that the line if (!beenPlayed[trackPicked]) is the cause

[vivid halo]

The list beenPlayed has less items than the value of trackPicked when you run the project

This can happen if beenPlayed is not properly initialized or is reset through another script

[sly ivy]

how is it that there's no error in editor then if this is a problem but only in build?

[vivid halo]

Set a breakpoint on the line that is giving the out of index error and observe the index (int trackPicked) and the list beenPlayed

There is likely a difference in how beenPlayed is initialized or set

Checking the debug information is the only way to tell for certain why the list access appears to be out of range

[sly ivy]

how would I be able to observe trackpicked since its not a public variable?

(sorry fairly new to coding)

[vivid halo]

By setting a breakpoint. Try this:

This pauses the execution of code at a particular line when that line is run

Then, you can observe the value of all variables while debugging

[sly ivy]

right but then unity freezes up for me so I cant really interact with unity in that state

[vivid halo]

That is the point

When it is frozen, that is when it is breaking.

You can also set a conditional breakpoint so it only stops when the integer trackPicked is greater than tracks.Count()

When unity freezes, you go into your code editor and observe the line of code that has frozen (as per the intention of your breakpoint) and then you can mouse over the variables to observe their values

[sly ivy]

ok

So it says trackPicked is 1

beenPlayed[3]

well

Bool[3]

is what its saying beenPlayed is

[vivid halo]

That should work.

Press continue and wait for it to loop around again.

It should do a loop and come back to beenPlayed when the trackPicked is a different number, and repeat this process until trackPicked is greater than or equal to 3, which should break the code by throwing an index out of range exception

[sly ivy]

trackPicked = 2

[vivid halo]

Continue once more, and note that 2 is the highest value that you can safely access the list beenPlayed

As soon as trackedPicked is 3, then the code should break.

[sly ivy]

nope

goes from 0 - 2

[vivid halo]

Ah, I see your error

tracksPlayed++;
beenPlayed[trackPicked] = true;

It's actually this line

2 is the maximum

But you increment 2 to 3

And then try to access beenPlayed[3] which does not exist

[sly ivy]

hmmm but that shouldnt be an issue either

[vivid halo]

That should be an issue

[sly ivy]

I have this running too at the same time to counter that

    {
        if (tracksPlayed == tracks.Length)
        {
            tracksPlayed = 0;
            for(int i = 0; i < tracks.Length; i++) 
            {
                if (i == tracks.Length)
                    break;
                else
                    beenPlayed[i] = false;
            }
        }
    }```

[vivid halo]

If beenPlayed has 3 items
Then:
beenPlayed[0] is valid
beenPlayed[1] is valid
beenPlayed[2] is valid
beenPlayed[3] is invalid

int trackPlayed = 2;
You enter the main loop checking if beenPlayed[trackPlayed] is valid
beenPlayed[2] is indeed valid
Then you increment trackPlayed by 1, so trackPlayed is 3
Then you set beenPlayed[3] to true, but you can't because beenPlayed[3] does not exist, and this throws an out of range exception.

In this block of code:

if (!beenPlayed[trackPicked])
        {
            tracksPlayed++;
            beenPlayed[trackPicked] = true;
            // Rest of code

What happens if trackPicked is equal to the very last item in the beenPlayed array, and the 'if' statement evaluates to edit: true, and you enter the block?

It necessarily throws an error.

[sly ivy]

Right, how would I be able to fix that then?

embed an if statement?

[vivid halo]

Basically. Check whether beenPlayed's length can support the index access attempt

If there are 3 items in beenPlayed, then the maximum index access value is 2, which is beenPlayed.Count() - 1

if (tracksPlayed <= beenPlayed.Count() -1)
{
  beenPlayed[tracksPlayed] = true;
}
// Rest of code. Do not attempt to access beenPlayed at an improper index further in this code, such as later when you access another index similarly via playlist.clip = tracks[trackPicked]

[sly ivy]

Nope, still same

I give up, thanks for the help though

appreciate it

[gloomy helm]

how could i rotate an object towards velocity only on the y axis without changing the other values

it makes both x and z values 0

[leaden ice]

That little vector you made there for "velocityMag"

Use that in Quaternion.LookRotation

[silent tapir]

why are the borders thicker in some spots? I am using a tiled imaged btw.

[pastel patio]

Hey guys, I just wanna confirm something- There's nothing bad about putting biome scripts as monobehaviours in the scene, right?

[silent tapir]

What do you mean by "biome"?

[pastel patio]

Originally I thought to use scriptable objects, but since I decided that it's better to hardcode each biome's generation code, it feels very wasteful to make a class for a scriptable object if I'd only make 1 instance of it

So the other way would be considering them as a singleton (monobehaviour)

Right, forgot, the reason why I need those scripts to be scriptable objects/monobehaviours is because I want to be able to customize it in the inspector.

[young tapir]

Is there a reason subscribing to events within coroutines doesn't work? I can subscribe just fine in the switch case but if I do it in a coroutine I just get a NRE for some reason. (I'm aware it says Event1, not Event. I'm only using that as an example)

It's not a problem, I'm just kind of curious

[pastel patio]

Basically the context is this:

1. I've got a biome system
2. All the biomes are different implementations of the same base class
3. I want to be able to customize the biome settings in the inspector
4. Each biome script only need 1 instance, or be a static class
5. What should biome be? A singleton, scriptable object, something else?

[serene stag]

What is a biome.

[pastel patio]

Just a custom abstract class, each implementation generates the terrain in their own way

[lean sail]

What do you mean each biome script only needs 1 instance, is this something only for 1 scene?
I'd probably go the scriptable object route, but really you're gonna be plugging these into a monobehaviour somewhere. The scriptable object part just makes it so when you edit values, you're editing the asset and not some random component in a scene. Makes it easier to see in git history for example

[pastel patio]

Yeah, except having a create asset menu for... For example, the molten lands, is really wasteful if there's only 1 type of molten lands in the first place...

[lean sail]

Wasteful in what sense?

[pastel patio]

Making a button that only ever would be clicked once?

Cus I only need 1 instance of it, ever.

By button I mean something like: 'Create -> Biomes -> New Molten Lands'

[lean sail]

So? What resource is it wasting? The user will never see it. You'll never have to worry about it past doing it once

If you dont want the extra assets associated with creating a scriptable object script + instance for its data then simply dont use a SO. it's not some life changing decision here. You're basically choosing between having numbers on an asset, then taking the numbers from that asset, or just directly having them on the component to start with.

[pastel patio]

Fair enough...

Well, ig I'll go the scriptable object route

The git stuff is indeed a valid point to use Scriptable object... Considering that otherwise all modifications will be counted as scene modifications

The only other way, when using Monobehaviours is have it as a prefab, which would be very much comparable to SO, besides saving extra unnecessary data.

[lean sail]

The use case does seem small enough that you could also just put these all in the scene with no issue. If you dont have any specific state associated with each biome during its generation too then you could get away with having 1 monobehaviour and N scriptable objects. The use case does seem small enough that you could even put these directly as monobehaviour.
Though if you ever need to reference these monobehaviours from like a game manager, I find that something tedious to do because now you have to use the find functions or have the instances register themselves somewhere

[hard estuary]

It happens when the area of an object doesn't allign with the area of pixels. Let's say that the border is 1,4 pixel wide. Since your screen can't split your pixels in half, it has to display it as 1 pixel wide or 2 pixels wide. Also each pixel displays whatever is in the center of the pixel. If some object happens to overlap with centers of 2 pixels, it's displayed as 2 pixels wide. If something misses the center of one pixel, then it's displayed as 1 pixel wide.

[gloomy helm]

nope it should only change the y axis the original x axis was -90

[lean sail]

an event has nothing to do with a coroutine, meaning its not related. Null errors are always the same, something is null and you must find out why. Maybe the object was destroyed before this ran

[silent tapir]

any fix to it?

[young tapir]

The object wouldn't have been destroyed, the components attached to it all work fine anyway

Plus I was holding it in my hand while testing

[silent tapir]

any1 know how to make an icon out of this object but making it not appear like this:
it has the sky in the back even though I culled that out

[hard estuary]

Make the game pixel-perfect by perfectly aligning the size and position of every object with pixels on the current screen resolution.

[lean sail]

🤷‍♂️ i listed it as a possibility as to why you experience it in a coroutine. my statement is still the same, you must find out why the reference is null. I dont see any debugs in your code. You could debug if pierce is null before this coroutine is even started.

[silent tapir]

alr

[young tapir]

Might be a longshot but what if you generated the icon inside of a prefab?

Wouldn't capture anything that isn't part of it

[silent tapir]

interesting you right i might

[young tapir]

I did previously have a fair few debugs, pierce wasn't null and it listed exactly what I expected it to. Its just weird that I get an error 😅

I removed most of the code after I got it working in some capacity

[lean sail]

it really isnt weird, you just didnt debug enough of it at the time. if there was an NRE then it is null at the point of you trying to use it.

unless you had other errors in the console (deal with errors top to bottom), theres always gonna be a reason as to why this happened. If unity randomly had these errors, itd be a massive deal. It told you something was null, because it was

[gloomy helm]

how could i rotate an object towards velocity only on the y axis without changing the other values

[pastel patio]

Easiest solution I know:
Quaternion.Euler(0, Mathf.Atan2(velocity.y, velocity.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg, 0)

You might need to add or subtract the rotation by PI/2.

Quaternion in a 2d game is really annoying

Eh, wait, it's 3d...

[gloomy helm]

yeah

ok wait let me try

[lean sail]

easiest way, create the quaternion, convert to euler and just use that y value

[pastel patio]

You have to do Quaternion.Euler(0, vel.eulerAngles.y, 0) for that

Eh, ig, it looks much easier

[gloomy helm]

and the x axis is zero it should be - 90

[pastel patio]

Even though it's converting from quaternion to euler then back xD

[lean sail]

you shouldnt rely on reading euler values in the inspector. First, its local rotation and 2nd its converting from the quaternion to show you euler.
Although in this case (-90,0,0) would be pretty different from 0,0,0 i think thats probably due to local rotation

[gloomy helm]

ik

but the x axis has to be -90

[pastel patio]

Oh, right, reminds me, for my character I just normalize the vector to be flat in the y axis and use that instead

Maybe it gives an extra idea

[lean sail]

why, nothing youve shown so far would relate to this

[pastel patio]

Just make it -90?

[gloomy helm]

also i forgot to say it dosent even rotate at all it just sets the x axis to 0 which is the exact opposite of what i want

[gloomy helm]

i am trying to make procedural animation

[pastel patio]

Erm, that formula is certainly totally valid...

[lean sail]

well yea you copied a solution which sets X and Z to 0, while only using the x and y of the vector. Did you try what i wrote above?

[gloomy helm]

wait let me try

[gloomy helm]

also ...

[pastel patio]

Ah also, you copied mine directly which used x and y haha

You needed to use x and z

[gloomy helm]

why x and z

not y

[pastel patio]

Because you cancelled y out yourself?

So essentially the result is that the formula is working with (x, 0)

Wait... No I'm confused fr

[gloomy helm]

oh wait now it works but it rotates the spline opposite of what i want it to be

i want is to be like this when walking forwad

[pastel patio]

How to turn it around you think? :)

[gloomy helm]

and this is what i am getting

(ignore the one laying on the ground)

[pastel patio]

Eh... Like, if you mean it's 180 deg off, add pi radians to it (Which is essentially 180 degrees)

If you mean it's turning towards the opposite direction, then you just have to add a negative sign to the rotation

[gloomy helm]

ok wait let ad pi radians (sorry for late respons my laptop ran out of battery and shut off i had to plug it in)

[pastel patio]

Honestly I'm really confused what your output was meant to be

But either way... It's just some basic tweaks left, normally
