idk man

#

i'll just complete the code

spare dome
#

ah osteel said it perfectly

chrome mural
#

and push to git

static matrix
#

yeah ignore the stackoverflow philosophizing and focus on your silly lines

chrome mural
#

wait wait

#

wanna show you the unreadable code

#

mhmh yes

#

my favorite, ternary operator

#

the design is very human

#

ok maybe i'm the only seeing it unreadable

hexed pecan
#

Just moving the index into its own line would make it way more readable

#

The whole ternary thing I mean

chrome mural
#

yea

#

not gonna do it 💀 its been 8 hours ahahah

unreal ingot
#

is there any way to make a mesh collider deform to an armature? I need this for a game mechanic where a player can walk on the surface of another player that can move their body around (controlled by the armature)

indigo tree
unreal ingot
#

Im not sure if this is the right channel, but my game cant work without a mesh colider that deforms around the armature like the mesh does, unless there is some other way to calculate collision with mesh surfaces, like using raycasts without a mesh collider to get the tri normals/verts

unreal ingot
unreal ingot
indigo tree
#

Yeah

unreal ingot
#

the armature doesnt appear as a mesh tho, and using the model as the mesh isnt deformed to the armature

image.png
indigo tree
#

One you mean’t deform vertices of the collider?

unreal ingot
#

yea

#

thats what I want

#

I want the collider to deform/move with the armature

image.png
#

so that another player can walk on its surface

indigo tree
#

Not really an elegant way

unreal ingot
#

not approximating using primitives btw, not an option for the precision needed

#

unless using a primitive teleported to the tri underneath the player

indigo tree
unreal ingot
#

because this is the main game mechanic 😭

#

I thought unity had deforming mesh colliders, and now my game jam submission is screwed

spare dome
#

as long as each limb has a collider and is a child of a bone the collider will not move with the armature

indigo tree
indigo tree
unreal ingot
#

No, I need a player to be able to walk all over the surface, and its gonna be small enough that I would need about 1000+ primitives for it to be half decent

unreal ingot
#

idc if its really expensive

spare dome
#

you only need 1 box collider for the torso of the elephant

simple void
#

Unity doesn't like dynamic mesh colliders

indigo tree
spare dome
simple void
#

You could set a bunch of background async tasks to constantly bake it, like tie down a thread to constantly do it

unreal ingot
indigo tree
#

What specifically are you trying to do?

spare dome
#

you do not need a ton of primitives to get the desired effect

#

and unity colliders do not like being dynamicly changed

unreal ingot
#

can you not at least get the tri normals for a dynamic mesh

#

of a raycast intersection or something

#

I just need to find the exact collision of the dynamic mesh at 1 point

#

the rest doenst need precision

simple void
#

Your going to have to come up with your own solution if you don't want to bake the mesh--you can partition it using a BVH but that's really overkill. Probably best to stick to a solution with primitives

indigo tree
spare dome
#

as stated before you do not need a ton of primitives to get your desired effect

#

not "thousands"

indigo tree
#

It is a game jam so no one will really care it doesn’t use realistic collision

unreal ingot
#

?? how so?, the ant would phase thru the elephant multiple times

#

you are zoomed into the ant, I dont want it to look like its floating

spare dome
#

one primitive for each limb

simple void
unreal ingot
#

but that requires mesh data

#

I can easily find the primitive positioning/rotation whatever if I can get at least one tri directly below the ant

#

I just want the positioning of one tri of the skinned mesh

#

detected by a raycast

spare dome
#

or you can have a bunch of primitives already on the elephant and then turn them all off and only then turn them on if they are close enough to the ant

unreal ingot
unreal ingot
spare dome
#

it doesnt matter if they move or not

unreal ingot
rugged goblet
#

Is this really a realistic goal for a gamejam if it's this difficult to implement already?

unreal ingot
#

I might consider doing this as a seperate project, Idfc if it gets submitted or not, Im not asking for critisicm, just tell me whether or not you can get the fucking tri data for one tri of a dynamic mesh

#

its a yes or no question, enough with the primitives already

simple void
simple void
unreal ingot
#

ok, good to know, but it is accessible?

simple void
#

yes, you can loop through all triangles to see if they intersect with your ray if you do not care about efficiency

unreal ingot
spare dome
#

keep in mind it will be extremely slow to go through all of the triangles and find one that matches

simple void
#

I have some code in hlsl to get intersection between ray and triangle--Unity probably has a lot of overloads for a lot of the math

unreal ingot
#

I dont mind math haha, I just dont know how to access the triangle data in the first place to do the loop check

#

Like how would I get the deformed mesh tri data in the first place?

simple void
#

I'm not sure, I'm not very familiar with animator, but if the deformed data's on the GPU this'll be even harder because your going to constantly have to read it back

unreal ingot
#

oh ok, thanks for your help, if I can only get it thru the gpu pipeline, will I have to check every tri in the scene?

simple void
unreal ingot
#

I appreciate your help!

simple void
unreal ingot
simple void
unreal ingot
#

Ill look into that as well, thanks for the tip

hexed pecan
#

Actually, it just does the skinning on the CPU

#

Performance will probably be ass though, especially on such a dense mesh

how to set prefs so that txt files don't open in rider but instead in the windows-default editor

spring creek
#

If you mean in windows itself, right click a text file and click open with... and select whatever you want. Should ask if you want a default

#

There is another way I would need to look up, but that is beyond what is on topic in a unity server. Googling "change default program" will get you many results

I am making a multiplayer game. When the player's camera moves the character's head, it goes inside the head and sees inside the character's head. I tried to make the camera a child of the character's head, but this broke the camera. Below is my camera code.

using UnityEngine;

namespace heist.Core {
    public class PlayerCamera : MonoBehaviour {
        private PlayerInput playerInput;

        [Header("Camera Settings")]
        [SerializeField] private float cameraSensitivity;
        private float xRot;

        [Header("Camera References")]
        [SerializeField] private Transform playerBody;

        private void Awake() {
            playerInput = GetComponentInParent<PlayerInput>();

            Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        }

        private void Update() {
            Vector2 look = playerInput.lookInput * cameraSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

            xRot -= look.y;
            xRot = Mathf.Clamp(xRot, -90f, 90f);

            transform.localRotation = Quaternion.Euler(xRot, 0f, 0f);
            playerBody.Rotate(Vector3.up * look.x);
        }
    }
}

Hey anyone have any ideas for simulating a crystal ball? I have a shader that renders the camera out put to the material and I have that applied to a ball, but as you can imagine its pretty flat. I have the camera rigged up to my head so I can simulate the parallax but it would be nice to have a sorta faked volumetric effect liek you would expect.

I have some platform assets that can be tiled together (so that I can make platforms of all different lengths). Is it better to make platforms a scriptable object or is it better to make several different sized prefabs of platforms?

# dapper schooner Hey anyone have any ideas for simulating a crystal ball? I have a shader that re...

Here's some ideas, if you project the sphere's normal for every fragment onto the screen-space plane so that you get a 2D vector, you can have it so (0,0) is the center of your screen and (1,1) is the top right corner and (-1,-1) is the bottom left. You can then use those coordinates to sample from your texture for a spherical distortion effect.

For mist, you can just overlay a mist animation, or use the depth texture from your camera and multiply the albedo by the inverse linear depth. Then you displace the depth with a noise map to animate the fog somehow.

Hi guys Is there a way to make the render target of a Camera (so a Render Texture) to be pixel perfect when using a perspective camera?

Hi all, quick question. Does anyone happen to know, if i alter a prefab programmatically during runtime, will it alter that prefab for all other objects that reference that prefab? Or do all objects carry their own instance of the prefab? Also will those changes be reverted aftere exiting play mode?

spare dome
wary ferry
#

like for instance

some_prefab.transform.position = Vector3.zero
#

i.e. just altering any one of its components

spare dome
#

if you modify one object in a prefab like changing components in an object and not its children, only that object will get changed. if you are moving a parent object obviously the children will follow respectively

#

if you have any more questions about prefabs please consult the docs

#

im double checking rq

#

ah then yes every object in a prefab is an instance

Why does adding this function to my detection cause unity to crash?

private void OnMouseOver() { if (Input.GetMouseButton(1) && hasntChanged) { grid.PlacePlayerSpawn(x, z); } }

It works almost always for placing the spawn points, but clicking to remove them will sometimes work, sometimes do nothing, and sometimes freeze unity.

it just dosent register the click

cosmic rain

I might be crazy but it seems more responsive if i wiggle the mouse around a little

Add some logs at the very start of the callbacks to see if they are called at all.

river shale

like to the onMouseOver calls?

cosmic rain

# 
private void OnMouseOver()
{
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(1) && hasntChanged && hoveredOnSquare)
    {
        UnityEngine.Debug.Log("RMB Clicked");
        hoveredOnSquare = false;
        grid.PlacePlayerSpawn(x, z);
    }
    
    if(!Input.GetMouseButton(1))
    {
        hoveredOnSquare = true;
    }
}

Okay so on the clicks its not registering, I dont see the "RMB Clicked" message

#

mightve found the issue

# 
private void OnMouseOver()
{
    UnityEngine.Debug.Log("MouseOver");
    if (Input.GetMouseButton(1) && hasntChanged && hoveredOnSquare)
    {
        UnityEngine.Debug.Log("RMB Clicked");
        hoveredOnSquare = false;
        grid.PlacePlayerSpawn(x, z);
    }
    
    if(!Input.GetMouseButton(1))
    {
        hoveredOnSquare = true;
    }
}

this entire function dosent get called when it dosent register

#

so the OnMouseOver call isnt always working

as part of our app features, we allow users to watch videos, were doing this with unity built in video players

however, we noticed that if users devices are weak, if the app got a hiccup, or somehow these component got disabled, or users out of focus for an extended time

even when this component get enabled again, the video will not play anymore

Screenshot_2024-08-20_at_10.44.00_AM.png
#

ofc gameobject is always active

#

so , to handle this, i need "video player" to be enabled, and call video.play() everytime when the component is enabled

ofc gameobject is needed as well, but who knows if only the component get disabled but not gameobject

#

i need two situations call play() as well

#

or one

#

aight looks like void update is the only way to go

Hello, I have code in a 2D game where I want the character to search an object for scrap. I want to scavenge enemies, and sometimes when you kill them they overlap which leads to both enemies being searched at the same time. To stop this I have a list of GameObjects when I enter the collider with the search area to add the searchable object to the list and when I exit the collider to remove the object from the list. I want to also remove the object from the list once it's been searched. I think I have all this in there right, but for some reason every time I search the object, it says out of bounds, I only want to search list[0] and when I'm searching it I pause the editor and the object is in the list, I don't understand

            rb.AddForce(new Vector2(FrictionFactor * -MoveSpeed, 0), ForceMode2D.Force);

Hello, I am trying to create a scene masking animation that covers camera on scene change. I am using Addressables to load a new scene and the .complete function to detect when the load is complete and when is the right time to unmask the screen. However, I'm having the problem that everything invokes fine, but loading the FPS drop causes the unmasking animation to not display or display in a small amount of time. Do you have any idea how to make this work? Thank you. 🙂

  • the animation is created so that objects come from the side of the camera and cover it, and then uncover it by going to the side
  • maskig is done via ui toolkit

# thick terrace depends on how it's set up but if you start the animation on the frame the scene...

First of all thank you very much, that you are trying to help me! 🙂 I already looked into profiler and you can saw it in the picture below, "Removeee" is the function that calls screen unmasking. My first idea was, as you wrote, to delay the unmasking by e.g. 1 second, but then I thought, what if it would not be enough for some device and the animation would not be shown anyway? But that's probably a small chance.

  • The editor loop is not gonna be present in a build, so you could probably ignore it.
  • In the second screenshot there's a lot to unpack. We can't see a lot of the stuff(you should use the hierarchy mode sorted by cpu time instead of the timeline). But at the very least 900ms are taken by object's Awake/OnEnable and garbage collection. All of these you can optimize or spread over several frames.
#

To investigate the third one, you'll need to profile with the hierarchy mode and look through the relevant code.

Thank you very much, I will look into it! 🙂 If I may ask, I'm trying to mask the screen using the UI animation toolkit, where I have several leaves that cover the screen. Then addressables.LoadSceneAsync is called to load a new scene. But I can't seem to find the ideal "time/place" to call back the animation when the leaves leave the screen. Currently I used addressables.LoadScene.Async.Complete or start function of script in newly loaded scene, to call remove leaves animation. But thanks to spikes animation is not visible or is visible on end for "millisecond". I will try to remove this spikes, but from my experiences some "loading spike" will appear anyway. So would you try to delay it by some general time/ single frame or use some another way? Thank you! 🙂

cosmic rain
#

You can be sure that by the next frame after awake is called, the initialization is complete and there wouldn't be spikes anymore(unless you initialize of several frames)

anyone has any advice regarding Popup window management?
I have a scene manager, but I can't find anything to manage popups properly.
I tried making them their own subscenes but it was really hard to open and close, With prefabs it's easier but I couldn't find a nice way of managing them.
Any advice/libraries arround? 🤔

#

it depends what's in them, if they're simple you might find that easier, but if they have images or anything like that you might not want to keep them in memory...

#

i've found some kind of state stack system usually works pretty well for managing UI states, so you can push/pop popups on top of the normal UI state and handle animating them in/out with events when you enter/exit states

So I ended up figuring out a solution to this entire conversation from 3 days ago. For context, I noticed that with 10 Agents (Just 10.) We were dipping below 50FPS in some cases. Another developer mentioned that having more than 10 agents is something he may want in the future so I wanted to address that.

I ended up making the AI both dumber, and smarter at the same time.

  • First I check to see if the AI can shoot the player from where its at. If it can, its in a "Combat" state.
  • I then check to see if it can reach the player from where its at. If it can, its in a "Combat" state.
  • If its unable to do either of those things, it wanders.

(Thats the point where its dumber. If there is somewhere where it can reach the player to shoot the player, it wont move there anymore. However, 9/10, if the player can shoot it, it can shoot you.)

In Combat State, its now a bit smarter.

  • It will first figure out if it can reach the player. This will return one of two things, either a Partial Path (EG: Stops at a gap/wall.) or the players position.
  • I then grab a random point in a radius around the end of that path. (Donut shape to be specific.)
  • From there, I then do a Navmesh Raycast from the player to that point.
  • I then set the destination to where that Raycast hit.

The reason for the Raycast is so that if the player is standing next to say, a wall in a tight hallway, the AI doesn't try to walk to the otherside of the wall.

Overall, seems to be a good approach and seems to be giving me somewhat expected results. But more importantly: I can now handle 100 Agents in combat state with around 90FPS (I'll never have 100 on screen at once.) and 144 (Vsync Capped) in Wander State. (Wander was even worse previously down around 10 FPS.)

im asking it for an interface, which both the script im using it on and the kind of thing im after, both implement

leaden ice
simple saffron

I guess I have to make a parent class for everything that implements this interface apart from this one thing then

leaden ice
#

You can have an interface without any methods

simple saffron
#

huh
i didn't think of that

#

thanks actually

#

Or better yet, use composition instead of inheritance in general!

But that's another conversation

Question. So I have a sphere with a texture of Earth on it. I'd like to be able to zoom down all the way to the scale of streets. How is this typically done on apps like Google Earth? How easy would it be to replicate in Unity?

knotty sun
dawn nebula
#

But like, obviously I can't just take some high poly sphere and zoom in on it.

knotty sun

#

I imagine I'd need to slowly unwrap the sphere to account for the changing curvature.

I don’t need the texture streaming in yet. Right now I’m just concerned about the curvature and making sure I’m placing things on the plane properly.

#

I think my main question here though is that when it comes to the actual mesh, I can't just scale up a sphere. I ASSUME that I'm going to need to morph some plane to a sphere and back depending on the zoom levels?

#

Is that correct?

Hello, is there a function that optimize by merging faces and vertices ?
Example:
Basic Cube (Initial case) :
After Extrude operation :
i applied some selection process on a closet face but the faces are soo slim and small :
My request : i prefer to have a wide chunk of face that merge and simplify the game object instead of handle large amount of small faces

it seems that Mesh.Combine is a method for two different mesh objects while i do only have 1 game object with varities of faces (check image for more clarification)

knotty sun
queen saffron
#

an intersection function for faces is exactly what i am refering to

lean sail
#

It's such a simple object you could recreate it even. Or just use unitys default cube and scale it. Looks like someone extruded or made a bunch of edge loops for no reason

queen saffron
#

sadly it is a project i must extrude operations and manipulate game objects in runtime

To combine the faces

@grizzled ferry also checked the debugger using the dev build but found nothing abnormal in the logic for the level start and the player teleporting there

it grabs the correct positions, it just doesnt teleport

it doesnt change position

for why

spring creek
#

It would be helpful to see where the code in your first screenshot is. Is it in a callback? Awake? Is the script ddol (SOMETHING is ddol)?
Really hard to say without the code being shared

sterile mural
#

Onlevelloaded is a callback

#

it waits for scene to load and calls

#

I restarted pc, unity, reimported assets im sure its none of those

spring creek

On cool. So, is the issue in every place? I couldn't really tell what was correct and what wasn't from the video

sterile mural
#

yeah every level

#

except the first one

spring creek
#

Alright, and you said you verified it is grabbing the right place? How? With the debugger or debug log?

I recommend adding this at the end of OnLevelLoad
Debug.Log($"Tried to move player to {_currentLevel.GetSpawnPosition()}, and actually moved to {_playerController.transform.position}");

If I'm doing a reference like this (or a singleton instance for example) is this roughly the best kinda way to handle getting the "upcasted" reference on derived versions of it? was trying to think on if theres anyway i could cast it implicitly but pretty sure i very much cannot

#

fine doing this just wanted a vibe check

sterile mural
lean sail
# night harness ```cs public class NetworkPlayerBase : NetworkBehaviour { public...

using new to hide base class members is always very questionable. I wouldnt call this the best way but honestly i dont even know what you're trying to do. This code would imply the GameNetworkManager.Instance.LocalPlayer can be something other than NetworkPlayerDerived, which doesnt make a ton of sense given the context. You could make use of generic classes here

night harness
#

the idea is that NetworkPlayerBase always has a reference to the localplayer but in a way where if your using a derived version of NetworkPlayerBase you can easily get the derived version of said reference

#

(hence the hiding)

lean sail
#

i think a generic class here would just do what you want and not require more lines redefining the property.

somber nacelle
#

too bad unity doesn't support covariant return types yet otherwise this would just need an override

ebon viper
#

if Im adding a script that's not connected to a game object what's the easiest way to make it so a update and awake function work for it

#

I can call functions to it but I want to use Update and Awake

somber nacelle
#

if it isn't a component then there will be no Awake or Update messages sent to it, so whatever object is instantiating it would need to call methods on it

ebon viper
#

Crap

somber nacelle

is there a specific reason you don't just make it a component? if it needs to receive unity messages like Update then it would need to be one

Im adding a script to a project that is loaded outside the game

Hi, I am modifying the vertices of a simple mesh in unity. I am stretching a small 3x3 grid with a hole in the middle to be much larger and the hole and the center is disproportionate now. When I apply a material, the rectangle sections of the second grid have a stretched material. How do I fix this in code? Is it something with UVs? I do have a triplanar shader that fixes it, but it doesn't give me all the options I want.

Here is the mesh manipulation code currently. The verticies are just moved, not added or removed.

        meshCopy.SetVertices(vertices);
        meshCopy.RecalculateNormals();
        meshCopy.RecalculateTangents();
        meshCopy.RecalculateBounds();
        meshCopy.RecalculateUVDistributionMetrics();

Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to create transition between scenes. Animations should look like this -> leaves will move to cover entire space, after that is new scene loaded via Addressables. Uncover is done via moving leaves to side. I found, that when loading of scene is taking too long, the animation is either not visible at all or only small end part, because uncover function is called inside/before spike. I tried to call uncover function after is scene loaded (Addressables.LoadSceneAsync.complete), one frame after Start function but in more complex scene it is not helped. Do you have any ideas how to solve it? Thank you! 🙂

From profiller I found, that in scene swapping I have three spikes:

  • first and second one is related mainly on Addressables loading (Integrating assets in background, preload single step, loadlevel async integrate etc.)
  • third one is caused by PreLateUpdate.ScriptBehaviourLateUpdate, DelayedActionManager.LateUpdate etc.

Start, .complete function and even one frame after start is called before third spike.

I am doing an animation state controller, where I want to set some values for my transitions in the controller. The issue I am having is that I'm not sure if I should separate the logic in a seperate script file or make it inside the playerMovement script where I already have values for my velocity, isGround and stuff like that. Any suggestions?

lean sail
# celest wadi I am doing an animation state controller, where I want to set some values for my...

Any character moving will likely use animations anyways so itll be fine to put it in the movement script as long as it isnt limited to only working with one model.
If you separate the logic, there should be some reasoning otherwise you're just moving 1 code elsewhere. Even then your player movement script will either need to interact with this new script, or provide public values for it to use

Does anyone know why it could be that I cant detect the collider with raycast even if its rendering properly? I doubt the problem is with the raycast as it works fine with sprite colliders. Also depending on the position of points of the line this error shows up. I've got a slight idea on where the problem is but I feel like it's gonna take a long time if i need to manually check all points, is there another way to work around this problem, as theres no rendering issues with the mesh.

its drawing lines but I need full control on them, so curves, witdh and some more stuff

You can do that with LineRenderer

#

Otherwise, you can certainly use a MeshRenderer

#

If you already have that working

fresh notch
#

I already tried it and it didnt work properly

leaden ice

But the collider needs to be a PolygonCollider2D

fresh notch
#

but I could change everything to work on 3d physics and still be 2d

#

couldnt I?

leaden ice
#

I guess but how does that help you

#

Why not just use the 2D collider

fresh notch
#

i could just mesh collider

leaden ice
#

Rendering is completely unrelated

#

To physics

fresh notch
#

but atleast i wouldnt have to rewrite all point for rendering and collisions

#

and i could just use the same mesh

leaden ice
#

But then you have to redo all your other physics

fresh notch
#

there's no other physics

leaden ice
fresh notch
#

the sprite i mentioned earlier were just testing

leaden ice
#

It's like, one for loop to copy them over

fresh notch
#

and its deletng the entirity of the upper line of the mesh

leaden ice
#

Well presumably you have a bug or error somewhere, hard to say without any details

fresh notch
#

yeah its probably that

leaden ice
#

Note for polygon collider you don't need to do the triangulation yourself

#

You just provide a list of points around the perimeter in order

fresh notch
#

yeah it could work

#

i think it wasnt working because some triangles in the mesh were swapped

#

well it seems to be working with the mesh collider

#

the only problem is that this error wont go away

#

the line rendering works without problem

#

but the mesh wont load in what it seems random positions

leaden ice

gonna try that right now

Anyone here use BehaviourTrees? I started using TheKiwiCoders free implementation, and I wonder if there's something wrong with it or my understanding of how bt's are supposed to work. In the image setup, I'd like the waitnode to run through, and after that the getup node to run through, but with this code:

        protected override State OnUpdate() {
            for (int i = 0; i < children.Count; ++i) {
                var childStatus = children[i].Update();
                
                if (childStatus == State.Running) {
                    return State.Running;
                } else if (childStatus == State.Failure) {
                    return State.Failure;
                }
            }

            return State.Success;
        }

the first run of the ragdoll get up node works correctly returning State.Running, but on the next "Tick()"/Update() of the tree the wait node restarts because it's first run finished, marks it as not running, so next time around it restarts.

I don't know if this is a short coming of this particular implementation, or is this how behaviour tree's are supposed to work?

Screenshot_2024-08-21_at_16.32.28.png
#

(I think it would be fairly easy to change this to run so it's "intuitive for me" - meaning: add a firstrun flag, run each node ONCE until it's first success, and on failure reset all children's 'firstrun' flags) but I wonder it I'm just thinking about it wrong - more like a state machine)

Hi all, I started learning about coding patterns hoping to improve my codes. I've came across two patterns that's fairly interesting to me: singleton and observer

Now my question is what's the main difference? From what I can see, If I want to call and trigger an effect/function globally from any script, I can do that via both patterns, am I missing something that observer pattern does better than singleton? (Benefit of singleton also includes only having one of the instance etc)

rigid island
#

they are both used together or sometimes not

#

so yeah You CAN have events to sub to from a singleton, or it doesnt have to be. Doesn't mean you can't use observer otherwise

open basalt
#

I think Im trying to place those patterns into how I would use them (which could and probably is totally wrong) so I can understand them better

I could have

Unityevent1.invoke()

Or

EffectManager.Instance.PlayEffect1()

#

Which both would achieve "triggering an event of sorts"

#

Please correct me if Im way off the mark

rigid island
#

what you describe is simply running a method not event

open basalt
#

Ahh so observer would come in handy with ui events like OnMouseClick or mouse up or something like that?

rigid island
#

not just UI

#

its a good way to have other scripts do something when something happens in another script. without that original script with event knowing anything about the "subscriber" scripts

open basalt
#

I think I've seen

public static Action xyz...

#

Is that like a way of creating an custom event almost?

rigid island
#

you would do public static event Action

#

Action is a delegate type for events

#

cause its static, you could say that event is technically a "singleton" though its not singleton pattern

open basalt
#

So we can have observers subscribe to this event, and whenever this event is invoked, it will trigger all the observers' functions

rigid island
open basalt
#

Ahhh gotcha gotcha

#

Thanks for explaining

rigid island
#

not the event triggers them, the observes handles them on their oown

open basalt
#

I think this made it a bit clearer haha

open basalt
rigid island
#

the key part to remember is that the Invoker never cares about the subscrivers

rigid island
open basalt
#

Which is kinda decoupling the code (which equals good i hope)

rigid island
#

though if you have no subscribers it throws a null ref, so we use a null check when invoking usually

open basalt
#

I'll keep that in mind

rigid island
#

eg
MyEvent?.Invoke()
same as
if(MyEvent != null)
MyEvent.Invoke()

open basalt
#

I think to kinda make sense of both patterns, I could use

A singleton manager that host a few common events, which means that random scripts can subscribe to those events without direct reference to anything

open basalt
#

(Sorry Idk what's the proper term for that thing)

rigid island
#

yeah it doesnt work on any unity derived Object
(called operator)

open basalt
#

So like rigidbody2d for example?

rigid island
#

yup

#

unity overrides it

open basalt
#

Ahhh gotcha gotcha

#

Thanks!

rigid island
# open basalt Ahhh gotcha gotcha

quick thing, Singleton also can be useful without event , if you want some other script running a function on a GameManager or a SoundManager

#

hope thats clear that you don't have to use either one together

open basalt
#

Yep yep makes sense

#

Observers are a lot more confusing than singleton haha

rigid island
#

yeah a bit ,I would sometimes just put them in a real life context. think like Youtube channel vs subscribers, etc

#

or a Radio Broadcast antenna vs Receivers

#

oh an C# events use +=to subscribe
Unity's UnityEvent/UnityAction use AddListener (good example is OnClick from UI Button)

#

also very important, its good practice to cleanup and unsubscribe -= / RemoveListener when object is destroyed, event no longer needed, etc.

float selectedChildPosY = _selectedCraftingOption.Rect.position.y;
float offset = selectedChildPosY - parentCenterY;
DOTween.Kill(CraftingOptionsParent);
CraftingOptionsParent.DOAnchorPosY(CraftingOptionsParent.anchoredPosition.y - offset, 1f);```

its harder when I can't directly test it with the same setup lol

Wondering if anyone knows a good method to temporarily lock a Cinemachine Free Look Camera?

There seems to be a few different ways to accomplish this, and I wonder if anyone knows what's considered best practice?

// One method seem to be to blank out the input name, this seems janky and requires storing of the input names, so it can later be unlocked.
public void LockCameraRotation() { CinemachineFreeLookCam.m_XAxis.m_InputAxisName = ""; CinemachineFreeLookCam.m_YAxis.m_InputAxisName = ""; }

// Another is to disable the component itself
public void LockCameraRotation() { CinemachineFreeLookCam.enabled = false; }

// Another is to override the maxSpeed
public void LockCameraRotation() { CinemachineFreeLookCam.m_XAxis.m_MaxSpeed = 0; CinemachineFreeLookCam.m_YAxis.m_MaxSpeed = 0; }

Hey!
I have a player using an dynamic RigidBody2D wich gets pushed around by the enemies. So basically I want to make the player kinematic, however I am currently struggeling with the accelleration, as it is not as smooth as with an dynamic rigidbody2d.
Does anyone know how I can reach the same effect of

rb.AddForce(movementVector, ForceMode2D.Force);

with an Kinematic Rigidbody2D?

Is there a reason to make your own delegates? Like why would we when we can just use Action<T>, Func<T> and UnityAction<T>

One minor benefit is that you can name the parameters 🙈

But at the cost of using two lines to define it.

No real reason to make your own delegates...it's just that delegates predate the Action and Func classes

Lately I've been unable to rename class files in Visual Studio (Community 2022) by using CTRL+R, CTRL+R. The Rename dialog appears, I enter the new name and hit enter, and an "Updating files..." message is shown for a moment. But when it's finished, the class and file name aren't changed. The only noticeable result is that the file's indentation sometimes gets reformatted.

Renaming from the Solution Explorer / F2 still works fine, though. Is this a known issue?

I'm trying to load an asset into a script that I have created, but it keeps returning null. The asset is visible in the project view and the path is as set in the code, so I don't really understand why it can't find it

private SteamAudioMaterial currentMaterial;

private void Awake()
{
    if (bundler == null)
    {
        ImportBundler();
    }
    currentMaterial = gameObject.GetComponent<SteamAudioGeometry>().material;
}

[MenuItem("AssetDatabase/LoadBundler")]
private static void ImportBundler()
{
    bundler = (WallBundler)AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath("Assets/Program Files/Scripts/WallBundler.asset", typeof(WallBundler));
}```
#

Strangely enough, it used to work without all this extra code, but suddenly broke today

# 
{
    bundler = AssetDatabase.LoadAssetAtPath<WallBundler>("Assets/Program Files/Scripts/WallBundler.cs");
    currentMaterial = gameObject.GetComponent<SteamAudioGeometry>().material;
}```

This is what I had before, which somehow worked but then broke. I'm aware now that I was somehow loading a Script into an Asset which I don't really understand how it could have even worked.

Hello! Struggling with navmeshes rn... As you can see in the first pic, it regenerates around the placed walls correctly, but the character refuses to move when i click somewhere. My code gives the character object a list of coordinates to move through and you can see the corresponding tiles light up in green, yet the character (the gray plane) won't move an inch... What am i doing wrong?

{
    Vector3 targetPosition = GetComponent<LevelGrid>().GetRelativeWorldCoordinates(hexCoordinates);
    movementWaypoints.Add(targetPosition);
    Debug.Log($"Added {hexCoordinates} into the waypoint list");
}
public void MoveThroughList(List<HexCoordinates> hexCoordinatesList)
{
    if(hexCoordinatesList.Count<=_movementDistance)
    {
        movementWaypoints = new List<Vector3>();
        currentWaypointId = 0;

        foreach (HexCoordinates hexCoordinates in hexCoordinatesList)
        {
            Move(hexCoordinates);
        }
        isMoving = true;
        if (navMeshAgent.SetDestination(movementWaypoints[0]))
        {
            Debug.Log("Success");
        }
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Log("Can't reach that");
    }
}```

Here's the update method in the character's script

{
    if (!isMoving)
    {
        return;
    }
    Vector3 waypoint = movementWaypoints[currentWaypointId];
    /*Vector3 targetDirection = (waypoint - transform.position).normalized;*/

    if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position, waypoint) <= stoppingDistance)
    {
        currentWaypointId++;
        if (currentWaypointId >= movementWaypoints.Count)
        {
            movementWaypoints = new List<Vector3>();
            _hexPosition = GetComponent<LevelGrid>().GetRelativeHexCoordinates(transform.position);
            isMoving = false;
            OnMovementEnd?.Invoke(this, EventArgs.Empty);
            transform.position = _centerPosition;
        }
        else
        {
            navMeshAgent.SetDestination(movementWaypoints[currentWaypointId]);

modern creek
#

so if you have some canvas, with 3 gameobjects underneath it (1, 2, 3); and under game object 1 you have three more (A, B, C) then your canvas will render the objects in the following order: 1, A, B, C, 2, 3

#

You can customize this however you want

upper pilot
#

I understand, but that means I have to create those game objects for each potential z index I might ever need.

#

I guess that sorting game objects on a list might work

modern creek
#

I'm not sure what you mean.. you have to create them anyway..?

upper pilot
#

No, I create them from script based on an input from a file

modern creek
#

Then just instantiate them in the proper layers

upper pilot
#

layers?

modern creek
#

or if they're sorted in your file already, instantiate them in that order (later ones will draw over the older ones)

#

yeah sorry, I shouldn't use the word "layer" here, I mean.. game objects

#

Lemme open up one of my projects and snap a screenshot, sec

upper pilot
#

Currently I am doing them in order from a file, which is fine for now, but not ideal in the future.

#

This is a inky game(text based), if I draw images in order they appear, I will force inky dev to "clear" the screen if they want to reorder anything which is not ideal

#

I might just let them pass z index and sort them on my side.

modern creek
#

"Game Renderer" is the main game object.. then all those objects with "Z" in the title are various containers for things that need to be displayed

#

Z5: Grid Renderer, for example, has many many objects that are instantiated at runtime, but don't overlap each other.. I spawn items into that "container" (which I called "layer" above)

upper pilot
#

I see, that does make sense, It might work if I assume a limited amount of z indexes(it's not like we need more than 10 or 20)

indigo tree
#

Why don't Unity events allow multiple parameters?

modern creek
#

In Z6 - there's a "combo coins" dialog that appears over everything in Z5, so when activated, I just turn it on (and then I don't need to like, sort anything.. it's just naturally above Z5)

#

item highlighed in the hierarchy, along with a screenshot - that blue thing appears above the game surface - it comes with its own 50% alpha background to cover up the game surface, but I ... wouldn't get into sorting shit because that would be a nightmare

modern creek
# indigo tree Why don't Unity events allow multiple parameters?

they just don't 🙂 that's the API surface they've provided.. if you need parameters or more robust events and don't need unity's event system, just use C# events or actions and subscribe/unsubscribe to those in various game objects OnEnable and OnDisable()

upper pilot
#

I did that for item drop in my game

#

struct ItemDrop

indigo tree
modern creek
#

Yep, that's the other solution, but then you can't see the serialized value of it (easily). I might not use a struct, but that's fine too:

public class MyEventArgs
{
  public int MaxHP;
  public int CurrentHP;
}

public class HpChangedEvent : UnityEvent<MyEventArgs> {}
upper pilot
#

Whats the issue in using them for SOs?

modern creek
#

the values aren't serialized

indigo tree
modern creek
#

(so they wouldn't show up in the inspector)

#

What are you trying to solve? maybe there's a better solution than unity events here

indigo tree
#

I tried structs, but even with System.Serializable they don't show up

upper pilot
#

You can pass 1 object that will act as a container for those parameters

#

oh

#

Do you want to show them in the inspector together with the Event?

modern creek
#

yeah, unity doesn't know how to make a struct an inspector gui item.. there's solutions to this but they aren't trivial.. you'd have to write your on inspector drawer thing

indigo tree
upper pilot
#

I forgot those are issues, but I can recommend Odin Inspector on asset store, it lets you serialize everything(or almost everything)

Even when you have an array of a reference type, like GameObject, and all the elements are null, a foreach will still iterate over all of them.

# open plover I thought foreach would ignore nulls

For the future, you should really show the code/error for what's confusing you instead of asking about your assumptions. Null doesnt apply here at all, since you mentioned it's an int array, ints cannot be null. So it's possible we cant see what your actual issue was

Also, it's not correct to say that null doesn't exist. It's a very specific value defining that the reference doesn't point to anything

MeleeBehavior is supposed to be a general framework that governs melee enemies, just move at the player until they're in range to attack. I want to have more than one type of melee enemy though. They would share the same MeleeBehavior logic but have different modules that extend Attack() in MeleeBehavior. The problem to me is that I can't just add FieldOnSelfAttack as a component and have the MeleeBehavior implicitly implemented since it needs EnemyData data assigned from somewhere.. So I think the entire premise of how I've structured it is wrong but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do instead

cosmic rain
hushed abyss
# snow cradle MeleeBehavior is supposed to be a general framework that governs melee enemies, ...

Sounds like a use for an Interface. An interface allows you to have multiple versions of code with the same structure, and then use each one as if it is one type. Ie. MeleeType1 : IMeleeEnemy. You create the interface as the structure of these classes. Say it has a Move function, but each has different characteristics. But when you are wanting the enemy to move you can use IMeleeEnemy meleeEnemy; which can hold MeleeType1 or 2 or 3 etc, and then say meleeEnemy.Move()

Yeah, it's very case-specific definitely. I've planned on using SO's, but find it a bit difficult when quests become more specific. For example; Go to this location, craft this item, find this item, get to this point of the game, etc. Of course I can specify these SO's with a enumerator representing the type of quest, which I believe will be the solution.

Was just interested in hearing and/or seeing other developers' work!

lean sail
# fervent moth Yeah, it's very case-specific definitely. I've planned on using SO's, but find i...

its just a matter of having that action notify the quest that its been completed. Like for a location, one easy way is just putting a trigger collider in an area. A script on the same object as the collider can store a reference to the quest SO that you want to notify it is completed. Or even just make some static class to manage this but then you'll have to reference it via ID rather than drag and dropping the SO instance in.

SO's with a manager class, SO's with individual responsibility, doing it without SO's, etc.

worthy prawn
#

check my post which I linked

gray mural
#

I've already checked it.

worthy prawn
#

I explained what I want

#

I know basic rule tile, I wanna make my own

#

Instead of there "is" or "isnt" tile next to it, I wanna make it like if "room with right wall" is there, you got me?

#

rule tile has even yes or no tile next to it, I wanna check if there is specific tile next to it (from an array)

gray mural
#

So, "only spawn the left tile, if there is a right tile on the right"

worthy prawn
#

no

#

that can normal rule tile go

gray mural
#

I think you should show the pattern you want to achieve, and I'll tell you whether it's achievable with the normal rule tile

worthy prawn
#

it's more like "if there is "only spawn the left tile" if there is SPECIFIC tile on the right (one of the tiles from an array)

worthy prawn
#

I am trying to make own script for it

#

I am making custom rule tile script

gray mural
worthy prawn
#

I understand normal rule tile

#

What I am doing can't be achieved by normal rule tile

#

you need custom

gray mural
#

Alright, the only problem is that you have different types "right", "left" etc. tiles

#

As far as I know, normal rule tile doesn't support that. And different rule tiles don't care about each other's rules

#

But I'm not sure how you're going to choose the "top" or "bottom" tile spawned from the array

#

Randomly?

#

Then they won't look fine together

worthy prawn
worthy prawn
gray mural
# worthy prawn Yeah, randomly. It actually looks nice, except specific situations, which I wann...

Just had a look in the RuleTile class, so I would suggest the following:

In your Neighbor class, consider having the following constants:

public class Neighbor : RuleTile.TilingRule.Neighbor
{
    public const int Top = 3;
    public const int Bottom = 4;
    public const int Left = 5;
    public const int Right = 6;

    
    public const int NotRight = 7;
    public const int NotBottom = 8;
    public const int NotRight = 9;
    public const int NotLeft = 10;
}

Since This is already Anything and NotThis is already Nothing.

Remove the Lists for Top, Bottom, Left and Right walls.

Create an enum with Top, Bottom, Left and Right as its items.
Make your TilingRule contain this enum, and create a TilingRule for every of your corners. Since you won't be able to choose one, when there is nothing, also consider creating an all-NotThis, and, maybe an all-This.
Also make it contain Sprites, which are the ones to be chosen randomly.

Override the method GetTileData to assign the randomly chosen Sprite from the matching TilingRule to the global variable, if you need it somewhere. If not, don't. You still have to save your TilingRule's enum, since you may not care about the Sprite as long as it's the suitable direction.

The overridden RuleMatch method should check for this == tile is This, this != tile is NotThis, as in the virtual one. Created by you directions should be checked as following, where direction is the created enum:

=> neighbor switch
{
    Neighbor.Top => HasDirection(tile, Direction.Top, true),
    // ...
    
    Neighbor.NotTop => HasDirection(tile, Direction.Top, false),
    // ...
}

private bool HasDirection(TileBase tile, Direction direction, bool value)
{
    if (tile is AdvancedRuleTile ruleTile)
        return ruleTile.direction == direction == value;

    return false;
}

how can I return a reference to a struct within a list of structs such that I can edit the values theirin?

Assign it to a variable, modify, assign back to the list. This is a code beginner question.

like ref var element = ref array[0]

sorry, I didnt think of that

#

I think this is the kind of question where I was missing a step and because I was missing that step it looked really hard

#

slight complication
I dont know which of three lists it will be in

I don't know why you mentioned AI helping you, since I have already described pretty much everything you were supposed to do.
No, you are not supposed to make the entire advanced rule tile 4 times. You are supposed to derive from RuleTile.TilingRule and add the variables I've mentioned.

Also, why don't you do this in UnityEngine nemespace, and add the suitable static using?

namespace UnityEngine
{
    using static RuleTile;
    
    // public class
}

#

screw it
im doing this the evil way

#

if I have a constructor for a struct, is that also called when I run the game, or only when I use it via code

gray mural
#

If you create the struct in OnEnable, Start etc., it's going to be called

static matrix
#

or its like called when I create it in the editor

If you don't understand what I mean, you may consider backing down from what you're doing now, since it wouldn't make too much sense, and returning to it after gaining some experience

is this the way to get the gameobject layer number from Layermask ?
int layer = (int)Mathf.Log(pickedUpObjectMask.value, 2);
Are there any drawbacks ?
from what I'm reading ofc it wont work with multiple layers (fine with me) Didn't want to use names, they may change and doesn't seem as clean. LayerMask should have a LayerMask to gameobject Layer method :\

thick terrace
#

i think they don't provide one exactly because it only works with masks containing single layers

I will keep this as extension method then ty.

just needed to put my pickedup objects in a diff layer. Didn't want to use LayerMask.NameToLayer 😅

I guess it's alright for 3D when you don't need consistent widths

#

In 2D they could make it better because you can assume that each face/segment's normal is facing the same way (towards the camera)

#

I bet you can find something better on the asset store though

Could make the ones returning arrays just return an ienumerable so you don't need to allocate a list + array every time you want to check 🤔 Would then let you use LINQ afterward to make an array if needed. (yours also misses the 31's bit since your max is bit 30)

public static IEnumerable<int> IdsFromMask(LayerMask mask) {
  var maskValue = (int)mask;
  for (int i = 0; i < 32; i++) {
    var value = 1 << i;
    if ((mask & value) == value) {
      yield return i;
    }
  }
}

public static IEnumerable<string> NamesFromMask(LayerMask mask) {
  foreach (var id in IdsFromMask(mask)) {
    yield return NameFromId(id);
  }
  // or
  return IdsFromMask().Select(NameFromId);
}

Use w/e obviously, just a suggestion 👍

Say I have a script that translates a gameobject along the x axis in a sin wave pattern using just the initial cached position(cached when script is initially added to object) + offset
How can I detect if I am trying to move the object manually with the basic unity translation handle things so I can actually change the position by updating the cached position?
I cant just do that normally since I just offset from the cached position and set the transform position to that every update

eager yacht
#

Sine wave local position, put object in a parent container, move the parent container.

zinc parrot
#

I dont want to have seperate children for the object, I would prefer object/script be in the same gameobject

#

is ther e a decent way to do this?

leaden ice
#

Easiest by far is to use a child object.

There's no good way really to detect movement via the Editor move tool

#

It's not worth it

zinc parrot
#

awww man ok
is there a way to make it only seem like a single object then from the hierarchy/inspector view then?

leaden ice
#

Just collapse the hierarchy

zinc parrot
#

alright

is there any way to instantiate a material and keep the properties ? when i instantiate an instance from a material all the values are back to default its very annoying

hexed pecan
broken light
#

ah nice

#

how come Instantiating a material instance doesn't do it

hexed pecan
#

Tbh I thought it would

broken light
#

me too

eager yacht
broken light
#

_material = Instantiate(_testMaterial);

is what i did

eager yacht
#

Yeah that doesn't copy properties lol, although I feel like it should 🤔

broken light
#

gah

#

at least its a simple edit thankfully

#

meshes copy perfectly and and game objects and scriptables but i guess shaders are different

Hi I want to use structs to define values for different enemies in my game. One of the structs for movement goals needs to be compared to the pathfinding nodes with the same value names. I can do this with reflection but I know this is bad. I think I should make them both arrays. Is there a way I could set up the code to be easy to edit by still having names like that so it could be friendly to non programmers?

You probably just want an interface to be honest

Anyone have any clue on why addressable.LoadSceneAsync works in the editor but in the build executable it gives:

Scene 'Assets/Scenes/UIs.unity' couldn't be loaded because it has not been added to the build settings or the AssetBundle has not been loaded.
#

I even call "Addressables.DownloadDependenciesAsync" before

dusk apex
#

Looks like your scene hasn't been added to your build settings

swift falcon
swift falcon
#

Its an addressable

#

Its supposed to be downloaded remotely and not included in the build

#

Maybe im doing something wrong :\

#

Btw when it downloads and i restart the game.exe

#

It works

#

lol

#

Its like im missing a call to add the scene into the game and it does it automatically on startup

open plover
#

@swift falcon just out of curiosity, what file type doaddressable assets have?

swift falcon
open plover
#

they are encrypted at least to some extent right?

swift falcon
#

Its served over https

open plover
#

for my case they would ideally need to be

swift falcon
#

If you want to protect your models sure, but the decryption method is going to be on the client anyway

open plover
#

I don't want users modifying these bundles

swift falcon
#

and someone can decompile it easily

#

One other reason i used addressables:
Lets say i have this script:

public class AUnityScript : MonoBehaviour {
  [SerializeField]
  private AnimationClip _animation;
}

Now if i assign _animation on Unity editor even though AUnityScript is disabled in the scene it will still load the AnimationClip in memory

What we've done to fix this is use Unity's Addressable API so we can control whats being loaded in memory and not

#

My game was running with 8gb of ram without addressable

#

Now it runs on 200mb

open plover
#

im planning to use addressables for my mmo game

#

so that I can create new items and such

swift falcon
#

its defo needed cause the default unity behavior isn't good enough for huge games

open plover
#

without rebuilding the whole thing

#

so the server would send the addressables to the user once on patch update

#

then they wouldn't need to download it again

swift falcon
#

my last bit im stuck on is scene loading

#

Note how i only got 1 scene

image.png
#

All my other scenes are addressables and downloaded from the asset loader

open plover
#

yea I watched the official unity video

swift falcon
#

So the user dont download a huge file for initial

open plover
#

they did it like this

swift falcon
#

better doing it earlier than having a bunch of code written btw

#

Made me change some stuff to coroutines

#

To use Addressable.LoadAssetAsync method and wait for it

Hey guys, just having some troubles with Unity localization. I've just opened a new thread on the forum here. Could somebody give me a help?

hi, i was trying to play animations by code using:

            Target.Play(AnimationName, Layer, 0f);
            Target.Update(0);

It works but when the animation starts, some variables and components in the prefab, reset their state to the original value, for example if a child of the prefab had active = false at the start and i play the animation, even if the animation doesnt change that variable, the active will be false, even if at some point another animation changed that to true.
I would like to avoid this behaviour and the animation only affects variables that are on the animation, nothing else. how can i do that?

ill try that, give me a moment

#

uhm nope, didnt work.

Target.writeDefaultValuesOnDisable = false;
#

target is the animator
