rigid island
#

let me check

viscid bane
#

I tried looking

#

I copied it's property path, I got Composition.HardLimits.Enabled

rigid island
#

so it goes probably somewhere in there lol

viscid bane
rigid island
#

ah

#

its a struct

#

structception

#

var composerSettings = new ScreenComposerSettings(); composerSettings.HardLimits = new () etc. CinemachinePositionComposer().Composition = composerSettings

viscid bane
#

sometimes...I feel like it's easier to make a custom camera system than relying on cinemachine

#

but I'll try this

rigid island
#

haha would probably organize it the same

#

much better than everything being a public field lol

viscid bane
#

I don't feel like I would need to make it so complicated

rigid island
#

keep in mind this camera system has to basically satisfy hundreds if not thousands of different usecases

viscid bane
#

fair enough

in GraphView api, i want to save my custom nodes that inherit Node. Isnt there any other way, but to check the type of each element in GraphView.nodes?

can anybody help me with this pls

#

How have you confirmed that your states may be the issue? Have you used any debug statements or breakpoints to confrim the order of your logic?

thorn ibex
#

It was indeed the States system

#

The ordering of prioritisation was the issue

I don't even know if State Machines are the way to go for this Titanfall inspired FPS multiplayer

soft shard
# thorn ibex I don't even know if State Machines are the way to go for this Titanfall inspire...

State machines are used often in games, though using enums to manage states is an option when you have just a few very specific states, but as your states get more complex or you have a lot of them, enums can be a bit hard to manage, personally I like using classes for states but you can also use interfaces - for example, you could have a "MovementState" class, that handles walk, sprint and slide - you cuold setup a FSM (Finite State Machine) that handles transitioning from "MovementState" to something else like a "SwimmingState" that maybe also handles diving - and when things get even more complex such as states deciding when another state can transition, maybe a BT (Behavior Tree) is more flexible, but yeah AI of any kind can be difficult for sure

thorn ibex
#

The only thing I wasn't sure about at all was the Slide. I just made it so you have reduced friction and maintain the velocity of sprint and height of crouch

#

I genuinely don't know what I need to add for slide to work

warped sorrel
#

if i were to make a function in a script (for changing rigidbody and transform properties) and call that script from somewhere else (a separate script for more advanced mechanics), will the object with script 2 get affected by script 1?

#

or will script one have to be on the object as well

mellow sigil
#

The script does whatever you make it do

warped sorrel
#

so i just need to pass in something like "this.[component goes here]" and it should work only for that specific gameObject?

mellow sigil
#

If you do this.transform (or just transform) then it refers to the object that has the script. There isn't a similar shortcut to the rigidbody so it depends on how you access it

warped sorrel
#

oh
well thanks anyway :>

I've been trying to write a compute shader for a flip simulation. This requires a step to interpolate the velocities of a bunch of particles onto a grid, but i am not sure on how i should do this as something like interlocked add cant be used on floats

solar hawk
#

Hello so i fnally had my inventory done etc, but i gotta do a if check from an outside file, been on this for 3 hours cant really figure it out, all i need is just for this loop to finish, i allready know it can get the item v value

image.png
#

All it needs to do is say yes to my other file where my if statement is, and cancel the loop

dusk apex
#

Is this ranting or is there an actual question/concern?

solar hawk
#

I have been at this for 3 hours, i cant figure out how to stop the loop

dusk apex
#

break would stop a loop

earnest epoch
solar hawk
#

i mean, the other files use more id checks, but theres no need

earnest epoch
#

Nothing here should run forever. When you say "other file", do you mean some other class or monobehaviour?

solar hawk
#

Yeah its for my smithing script

dusk apex
#

Normally, you'd have a local bool assigned false and set it to true after finding your element - to later return from the function.

solar hawk
#

so i need to get the item, and if (!player.inventory.HasItem(new Item(sword))) yeah its called sword w/e

#

using that to get the id, and that works, it returns back, but once i do have the item unity dies

#

Yeah i gotta close this part

earnest epoch
#

Might be a good place to use Container.Contains() or something.

solar hawk
#

Been at this for like 3 hours, i tried everything i know lmao iam despirate

earnest epoch
# 
public bool HasItem(Item _item) => Container.Items.Contains(_item);
dusk apex
#

I don't think this piece of code is producing your infinite loop. It likely is attributing to it though as you've not fully implemented a false case.

earnest epoch
#

Yeah, the loop is happening somewhere else.

solar hawk
#

So using the container... like the if (!player.inventory.HasItem(new Item(sword))) best i could get up with for now, its kinda wierd, but i had that safely returned

#

my savegave is having issues with it

#

deserialize or so

dusk apex
# 
bool found = false; 
//loop
return found;```
solar hawk
#

Inventory newContainer = (Inventory)formatter.Deserialize(stream);

dusk apex
earnest epoch
#

Can you show us what is calling if, and what is in the constructor for Item(sword)?

solar hawk
#

Never i really just used if and then else

#

Iam not really good so i make alot of messy code and mostly get away with it

earnest epoch
solar hawk
#

Ill try the bool

#

Gonna take a few hours more trying to figure it out haha

dusk apex
solar hawk
#

Mostly i just returned to debug, and just stop everything, but once it does find the item it breaks, and i know its over that get part, since aslong as that is in then my save also breaks, ill put it on sql tomorrow in hope to avoid those further anoying warnings

earnest epoch
dusk apex
solar hawk
#

if (!player.inventory.HasItem(new Item(sword)))
Debug.Log("");
{
else
}
Debug.Log("");
}

#

Thats pretty much what ive been using

#

Yeah ill keep u posted, i pasted these parts in paint to remember and for sure will work on it

dusk apex
#

That isn't relevant or enough information to resolve your problem

solar hawk
#

Right, since these debug logs come back, unless it finds the item

#

when it does find the item, it just breaks unity

earnest epoch
#

@solar hawk If you don't know where the problem is, you're going to have to show stuff that you think is working well.

#

Start with the stuff that references what you think is wrong.

dusk apex
solar hawk
#

after the if middle part, iam missing something there

dusk apex
earnest epoch
#

So literally, what calls HasItem? Search your whole project in VS if you don't know, because there is ZERO anything that will crash unity in that picture.

solar hawk
#

Oh xD

solar hawk
somber nacelle
# solar hawk

why not just return true inside the if statement and return false at the end? no need to go through the entire loop if you've found the object

dusk apex
#

That would also work.

earnest epoch
solar hawk
#

Let me try 😄

It's a bit of a bad video but hopefully you get the point

swift falcon
#

So instead of rotating the player itself, have a separate transform that the camera rotates on the Y axis, then get that transform’s direction to move your player in the proper direction

night harness
#

I know a real answer is probably "it depends" and "profile it" but could i get a general vibe check on how costly casting types is roughly? Just tinkering around with ways i'd prefer to handle some instanced content registration stuff and I'm curious what the kinda scale of it's cost is like. This wouldn't be in the context of something as frequent as Update() or anything but i just don't know if its a "avoid as much as possible" or more like getcomponent where its "not actually too bad just cache when you can"

Hey im trying to build a 2.5D Game in Unity with Hextiles.

I want my unit to move the most "direct path" (shortest by "direct line"?) if all of the tiles on it are similiar as the tiles on longer (per "airlines", not tile length)

(I hope this question makes sense, im unsure how to explain it)

You should debug them

Also, what components does its children have

And where is the AccelerationPoint positioned?

how do you script the chinemachine cameras

change the

#

Well reference whatever component has that value and then change it

#

lol

# 
public AnyComponent comp;

void Function(){
  comp.anyValue = 123;
}
#

Dont remember which Cinemachine component exactly has the offset value

So I'm running into alittle bit of a problem, with my mouse movements.
I'm trying to move the SelectedItem slots with my mouse wheel but for some reason, the game acknowledges that it's meant to move but doesn't actually move. I must also say that everything works with the hotkeys it's just the mouse wheel.

The mouse code is in ItemSlot.cs.

Code:
https://paste.mod.gg/wnixbnskbxje/0

These are the 2 deubg statment's I get:

Scrolling to slot 0
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
ItemSlot:SelectNextSlot (int) (at Assets/ItemSlot.cs:162)
ItemSlot:HandleSlotSelection () (at Assets/ItemSlot.cs:116)
ItemSlot:Update () (at Assets/ItemSlot.cs:57)

Selected slot 0: ItemSlot_2
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
ItemSlot:SelectSlot (int) (at Assets/ItemSlot.cs:134)
ItemSlot:SelectNextSlot (int) (at Assets/ItemSlot.cs:163)

Alright, here are two lines of code, both print functions.
The first one prints a string containing two references to two variables in the same class.
The second prints the same string, but contained into a scriptable object.

In the editor console, the first string gets printed correctly, it shows the item that has been collected and the quantity, the second does not, the variables in the string don't get interpreted, why?

image.png image.png image.png
vestal arch
#

also, uh, smart object? you sure you don't mean scriptable object?

quiet remnant
#

whoops, yeah, scriptable object

vestal arch
#

lol

quiet remnant
#

so, this doesn't work either...

image.png image.png
vestal arch
#

yeah i wouldn't expect it to

#

that entire string is put into a normal string

#

$"" would need to exist as a string literal in code

#

you can't do that from the inspector

quiet remnant
#

i see, i was trying to make an announcement system and thought it was a good idea to store each line in a separate file rather than in the code

vestal arch
#

generally for stuff like this you'd need to define what values are available to be formatted in, not sure how you would do that in unity
idiomatically, at least

steady bobcat
#

You can use string.Format() but that needs you to provide the placeholders with numbers and you provide the strings as other args. e.g:

string.Format("Thingy: {0}", "foobar");
#

Addressable profile path strings actually have this functionality though for using static variables at runtime

quiet remnant
#

thanks, i'll look into that

you could put a game object at the position the raycast hits, make your camera a child of that game object, then when you press QE you rotate that game object, and the camera will also rotate as a result

How can i make an entity which will have some destroyable parts with they own hp pool (before destroying) but damage dealth to this parts will deal damage to main body too? I cant imagine how to share body hp with this parts

wheat spruce
#

when you reduce the body parts health, just add a line that also reduces the main entities health by the same amount or however you want it

night harness
#

(Ideally they would have a direct cached reference to that central component rather than finding in parent)

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with my WebGL build.

I have a set of Button GameObjects which assign certain values in their Awake, they are controller by a different script which in it's Awake should wait till all buttons are initialized and the de-activate them.

In the editor this runs fine but if I build for WebGL and run in the browser, only 2 of the buttons' Awake is actually called

// this is called from a script Awake
private IEnumerator InitializeButtons()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < menuButtons.Length; i++)
    {
        if (menuButtons[i].GetComponent<TowerHolderButton>().iconSpriteRenderer == null) yield return null;
    }
    Debug.Log("All buttons initialized");
    HideButtons();
}```

There are a total of 6 buttons (as seen in the unity screenshot), but in the browser the message in their `Awake` is logged only twice before that initialization coroutine finishes
image.png image.png
somber nacelle
#

show the actual code where the NRE is occurring

#

however it sounds like you are relying on certain objects having their Awake called before others which is not guaranteed. use Awake to initialize an object's own variables, then use Start to reach out to other objects

storm moon
#

Yeah that is just the consequence of the Awake not being executed, it's a different function which references a variable set in Awake

storm moon
somber nacelle
#

yeah pretty much

storm moon
#

Okay I'll try that then, thanks

somber nacelle

Wow, unsurprisingly that did the trick, thank you very much. Spent a good 2 hours debugging this which was annoying since I could not reproduce it in the editor

anyone know if unity has a replacement for [ModuleInitializer] or the best course of action to replace [ModuleInitializer]?

zenith glade
#

For a special renderer I need to have mesh data processed in a specific way. So, I have some code that runs when I add a the component that enables this rendering (I use OnValidate) that needs access to the gameobject's mesh data, processes it, makes a ScriptableObject and saves that and then assigns the ScriptableObject to its own field. Is this a reasonable implementation?
Now, this process also takes a while, so I'd like to know if it's possible to get this to run in a non-blocking fashion ( I tried messing with async, but I can't access the objects outside the main thread)

#

you may also want to have a look at Editor Coroutineshttps://docs.unity3d.com/6000.0/Documentation/Manual/com.unity.editorcoroutines.html

zenith glade
#

Thanks I'll have a look

#

Also is there a good way to profile editor scripts like this?

cosmic rain
zenith glade
#

How do I use it to profile an editor script that only triggers once? It's in this frame mode so I'd have to capture the specific frame and by that time it's already captured a bunch of frames where the stuff I want to profile is already gone...

#

I haven't used it much before sorry

cosmic rain
#

If it's async code, maybe make it sync temporary to capture the whole logic in one frame.
Other than that, look at the code, use the debugger, log to the console.

#

Okay so I'm pretty sure this should be simple but I'm dumb so idk?
In the case of my code below here, how would I get the closest object of the ones being ran through in this foreach?

foreach (GameObject obj in itemsInRange)
{
    float distance = Vector2.Distance(this.transform.position, obj.transform.position);
}
latent latch
#

Before the Foreach make a variable GameObject closestDistance and update that variable each time you run into a gameobject that is closer in distanced from this stored value

#

Well, probably a variable for both the gameobject and the distance of that object if we want to cache everything.

# 
GameObject closestObject;
float closestDistance;
foreach (GameObject obj in itemsInRange)
{
    float distance = Vector2.Distance(this.transform.position, obj.transform.position);
    if (distance < closestDistance)
    {
        closestDistance = distance;
        closestObject = obj;
    }
}```
Can also make a tuple

Its the "this" right?

#

Now I'm doubting if I spotted it

#

I'm just using their code there. They're comparing the local object to those in the foreach

#

Yeah, I was thinking the bug that E pointed out was that the closestDistance was a GO

GameObject closestDistance

oh ok yeah now I see it ;p

dense estuary

#

disabling the script isn't going to reset the velocity to 0

#

If you want it to do that, add an OnDisable to the movement script which does that

#

as of now, the velocity will remain at whatever your script last set it to, and stay there until friction or other external forces slow it down

#

Also what's up with the isPaused and wasPaused variables? They seem to sort of do the same thing but not really?

Also everything that is in your Update function here seems like it should actually just go inside the Pause function

so uhhh, i booted my project today and was meant with a wall of errors. unity decided not to use UnityEngine.Color by default and is trying to just use Color. how does one get this back to normal? first thing i tried was reimporting all assets but that did not fix it, and i really dont wanna write UnityEngine.Color every time i want to just use Color

#

no i dont

leaden ice
#

try ctrl+clicking on the Color word to see where your IDE takes you

tulip temple
#

i dont

leaden ice
#

or right click and jump to definition/declaration

tulip temple
#

yeah it doesn't take me anywhere

#

System.Drawing perhaps?

leaden ice
#

no it would say that

tulip temple
#

thats what i saw on google

cosmic rain
leaden ice
#

it would say "Cannot convert UnityEngine.Color to System.Drawing.Color

#

it just says Color

tulip temple
leaden ice
#

so you have one in the global namespace

#

Have you used your IDE to jump to the definition/declaration yet?

tulip temple
#

yes i do all the time

leaden ice
#

and where does it take you

tulip temple
#

im not a beginner

#

it doesnt do anything

#

Then your ide is not configured

#

works fine with other things

#

Share the code and config your ide:

Do you need help or not?

man this is why it sucks to ask for help here, i ask for help and give info and answers but then just get that response.
like i said, my IDE is configured, trying to find the jump to the definition works fine on everything else, but not on this Color. i dont have a Color class in my project, i checked. and this issue popped up after i changed nothing and added nothing. it seems to be unity just having a fit and im asking if people know why unity is having a fit

#

all i did was boot unity today, and now there are errors, thats why the first thing i tried was reimporting all assets

It would've been so much faster if you just shared what I've asked for.

#

Anyways, there's not much we can help you with unless you share the details that I mentioned

leaden ice
#

You're looking for someone to commiserate in the "unity has ghosts" party I guess? We're interested in just helping actually solve the problem.

tulip temple
#

nevermind anyways, fixed it by deleting the library folder for a 2nd time

#

so like i said, unity was just having a fit

cosmic rain
#

There must be a reason why that happened to you and doesn't happen to 99% of other people. And if it did happen, it might happen again. So it would be a good idea to identify the cause.

tulip temple
#

yes i agree, i plan on trying to recreate it if i can so i can figure out why

#

i assume its some underlying issue below unity, could be windows having the fit

cosmic rain
#

Or misconfigured ide

hi, not sure if this is the correct channel but, i just installed hub for the first time but the project is stuck at "initial asset database refresh" i'm on mac m1 and none of the solutions on the forums worked for me

does anyone have trouble with delay in their jump in their 2d game? I've been perusing various online tutorials trying to find a solution and no matter what there's a weird delay that won't let my character jump seemingly at random

GetbuttonDown in FixedUpdate is problematic

night harness
#

lot of comments there

leaden ice
#

I don't think you have a delay problem I think you have a missed inputs problem

#

Input handling needs to generally happen in Update

#

FixedUpdate is where the physics should go

thorny meadow
thorny meadow
#

does that look a little more practical?

night harness
#

it's in the name, fixed happens at a consistent rate regardless of your framerate, update happens as often as your framerate

#

fixed is better for stuff like physics because of it's consistency between calls, but can "miss" time in between them compared to update by nature of making them consistent

leaden ice
#

huh

#

get rid of this

#

this will also make you miss jump inputs

#

The time to set Uinput to false is when you actually do the jump

#

Also - "Uinput" is a very confusing name for this variable

#

how about something descriptive like userWantsToJump

if(Uinput){
            hardbod.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jump));
            Uinput = false;
        }// end if
#

because I tried this and then the jump stopped working entirely

leaden ice

you'd have to show the full code

use a paste site

This doesn't match what you just posted

You probably want an impulse force for a jump.
What is jump set to? it's probably too small for a non-impulse force

#

Also use Debug.Log to double check your code is running when you expect it to

thorny meadow
#

300

#

which I'm turning down now because this iteration seems to react significantly to that setting

#

nvm that was 15 but the gravity scale was at 1

leaden ice
#

you'll want impulse for a jump.

hardbod.AddForce(new Vector2(0f, jump), ForceMode2D.Impulse);```
#

and to reduce the value by about 50x

ooh that is super clean

you're getting multiple errors?

or are you just looking through the stacktrace

it only throws one error though

ok so yeah the error is from line 61

the other line mention is just part of the stacktrace, where the function was called from

ah yeah (Im not very smart)

#

let me grab that function for you so its easier to read

vestal arch
valid vine
vestal arch
#

thanks

#

so inventoryScript.equippedItem.template is null

valid vine
#

yeah it should be stopping that from running when it is though

vestal arch
#

why would it?

#

you aren't checking it

valid vine
#

oh wait

vestal arch

you're checking inventoryScript and inventoryScript.equippedItem, but not inventoryScript.equippedItem.template

valid vine
#

Yeah I got it thanks

#

That took way too long for me not to notice that lol

in the situation you mentioned, if you expect equippedItem to be null instead (and template to never be null), try investigating what happens when you aren't holding anything

How to reference the default Unity project assembly in my Test project for which I created assembly definition file?
The main project is not present in the Test project assembly definition file and nothing happens when I add Assembly-CSharp in the list of references lists in the asmdef file.
How do I use the classes defined in my main assembly inside the test test assembly?

thick terrace
hardy pasture
#

Then this Script assembly started throwing errors about different assemblies like UnityEngine.InputSystem

#

After I added all the assemblies that I use manually to this Scripts assembly

#

The project compiled

#

Then I added this Scripts assembly to the Test assembly

#

And it compiled and tests work

#

But now the problem is that I have to manually add all the dependencies: all the default Unity dependencies that are referenced in the main assembly

hardy pasture
thick terrace
#

yeah you need to add the dependencies one by one to the assemblies

#

there's not really a way around that

hardy pasture
#

I just dropped that asmdef file into the Assets folder and the whole main project was replaced with my Scripts assembly:

#

And it compiled

#

And the test ran

kind willow
#

scripts on inactive objects still recieve events right?

hardy pasture
#

But not Start and not Update

#

But I think they still receive the collision events from the collider component and other

#

So if you want to stop receiving collision events, you need to disable the collider, not the script where you defined the collisision handler

kind willow
#

I mean custom events I create and subscribe

steady bobcat
#

so its not wise to slap one in Assets cus most packages/plugins dont use asm defs as they should

hardy pasture
steady bobcat
#

test project? make asm defs where it makes sense to (e.g. one in Editor, one in Scripts, and ones for editor and runtime tests)

#

im just warning you that putting one in Assets may screw you over later but you do you 🤷‍♂️

trim schooner
#

not implementing asmdefs correctly can slow down your compile time

cold parrot
#

also it makes no sense to only use asmdefs to reproduce what unity does anyway (split plugins, editor & scripts into separate assemblies)

steady bobcat
#

was just an example of where to start. I dont remember if tests must use them but if so then you will need to add them to reference your other code.

night harness
steady bobcat
#

if you have some plugin/addon that presumes that Editor folders automatically work but you put an asm def in Assets/ this will break them all.

night harness
#

Ohh you meant Assets like very specifically that root folder understood

hardy pasture
steady bobcat
#

Yea tis a limitation of them, asm defs cannot reference those. Tbh you are probably fine with an asm def in where you keep most scripts

hardy pasture
#

Even when I put the asmdef file in the Assets folder, while it replaces the main project, it still doesn't automatically reference all default assemblies like Unity.InputSystem, like the Assembly-CSharp project does.

#

I just want to reference everything that that main project references

#

So that when I use more and more assemblies, I don't have to add them manually and then when I install additional assemblies like Cinemachine, I don't have to manually add them either.

steady bobcat
night harness
#

No?

#

Post code

kind willow
#

literally method of unsubscribing onDisable

night harness
#

what

hardy pasture
# steady bobcat its just how it works, you manually add the asm def references, its not hard

It's not hard, but convoluted. Once the project grows and let's say I have 5 solution assemblies and I add a plugin like Cinemachine, now I have to go and add it to 5 asmdef files, so that I don't have to do it later.
Well, I can go through the list of References in Visual Studio and reference all the assemblies that are referenced there, then maybe create a template file in Visual Studio to automatically create an asmdef file for assemblies that do this.
Will work for all the Unity.* assemblies but not for plugins.

steady bobcat
#

ive made do for years but dont blame me for how it works

hardy pasture
#

Ofc, Rob, I appreciate your advice

#

To not put it in the Assets folder

#

And like at least that's how people actually do it

trim schooner
#

5 asmdef defs probably shouldn't all be referencing cinemachine.. the "best" way would be for all camera related stuff to be in 1 of them

kind willow
# night harness what

I forgot to remove the method where I unsibscribe from the event inside OnDisable() event

If it’s not code related, yes.

blazing tiger
#

You ever rely on singletons a little too much?

trim schooner
#

Nope

blazing tiger
#

Especially when networking. Tempting to just make everything local client related a singleton

#

Imo when it comes to games it's probably a little more acceptable than in backend programming

trim schooner
#

Use them only when there's a need, not for every little thing that leads you to thinking "I'm doing this too much"

blazing tiger
#

Feels good though must admit

#

No reference hell just grab/set whatever you need

#

Though I suspect the next statistically best response would be "if you're encountering reference hell you're doing something wrong to begin with"

#

Nice to turn off your brain every now and then and just make a mess

cyan ivy
#

Singletons are fine if you're working by yourself or in a small team on a small project, but it scales terribly because suddenly you have 25 different people's code all touching the same singleton classes and when one thing breaks, everything breaks

blazing tiger
#

True

leaden ice
#

I don't see how singletons increase the number of people touching a particular piece of code or not 🤔

#

Don't confuse what objects do at runtime with what developers do at code time

#

Using singletons doesn't mean ignoring the Single Responsibility Principle

cyan ivy
#

I can program software, but sadly I can't program people. Best I can do is architect my code in such a way that it encourages good coding practices

Hello everyone, I have a question about the Unity editor and public variables

vestal arch
#

!ask away

tawny elkBOT
hardy cove
#

I have a public class with many public properties. I have another class(MonoBehaviour) which has a public variable of the first class. I can see the first class as a variable that I can change in the second class.
I want to change the default properties of the first class but ONLY as the public variable of the second class.
Example:

public class h1 {
public int n1 = 0;
public int n2 = 6;
}

public class h2 {
public h1 hello;
}

I want "hello" to have n1 = 1, instead of 0, by default, but only when we are talking about the h1 variable when it is the public variable of h2.

vestal arch
#

!code

tawny elkBOT
leaden ice
hardy cove
#

Hmm, seems very good! another, related topic, I want the class h1 to change these defaults with many other classes that use it as a public variable, so I have h2, but let's say I have h3 and h4 and so on that do the same thing as h2, but I want different defaults for each of h1.
Two questions on this front:

  1. Should I then put the config reading code for the defaults in the reset function of h2, h3, h4, etc?
  2. Should such config files be a single config file for many different objects of a similar class, or should each class, h2, h3, h4, have its own config file?
blazing tiger
#

If there's a single thing the singleton does, what are the odds two people would need to urgently work on it at the same time

Is there a good place to ask questions about Unity Test Framework? Or is in here fine?

mental reef
#

I saw something yesterday and would like if someone can explain any differences. I saw someone use in code "public TMPro.TMP_Text myText;". They had multiple of these in the script. I always use "using TMPro;". I know they do the same thing. Which is better?

thick terrace
#

it's up to you, it's just a style choice

cold parrot
nova moon
#

I don't see anywhere specific to post Unity Test Framework stuff so I'll post my question here. Following the Unity documentation, it says to create an assembly definition in the Tests folder, and then create your test scripts in there too. I'm confused though what the purpose of the assembly definition is because I see where others have created tests in folders with no assembly definition, and the tests still seem to work fine. What is the purpose of the assembly definition we're making?

cold parrot
nova moon
#

Ah so the tests will work in the editor, but without the assembly defs, it'll also bring those dependencies along in a build, just causing unnecessary bloat?

cold parrot
nova moon

You can think of testing as a separate platform.

anyone got a good vid/article on how addlisteners work with buttons?

Any decent way to check if a UGUI slider is being held?

lean sail

steady bobcat
#

you can make your own script have an event to "pass" the extra data, let me write an example...

lean sail
#

and what string are you trying to get

steady bobcat
swift falcon
steady bobcat
#

you can replace the event with a UnityEvent if you prefer but the concept is the same.

swift falcon
#

sorry I'm not sure how that works. i'm not very good at this stuff. still trying to learn a lot

lean sail
#

what rob wrote above is basically rather than subscribing to the button, subscribe to an event on your own component.

#

this should really be in #💻┃code-beginner if you're a beginner. gives us a headups of how indepth to explain also

steady bobcat
#

e.g. GetComponent<SpecialButton>().OnClick += (string data) => Debug.Log(data);

#

its similar to button.onClick.AddListener in how we can provide some code to execute when the event is triggered.

zinc parrot
#

if I have a script attatched to a gameobject that also has a meshrenderer component, is there a way to kind of link a function in the script to trigger when the meshrenderer is enabled/disabled WITHOUT having the script manually check it constantly/frequently? I cant have the script checking it constantly, cuz this needs to scale to thousands of objects/instances of this script

night harness
#

Whats turning the meshrenderer on?

zinc parrot
#

it could be anything, user, unknown script, etc.
WHAT toggles it I dont have control over
so I was wondering if there was an api or something I dont know about that can cheaply "listen"

leaden ice
#

What's the context here and why don't you have control over it?

zinc parrot
#

cuz since i am developing something for other to use, It needs to be as flexible as possible

night harness
#

a lack of control doesn’t seem flexible

#

You can’t watch object activity in an event based context as an outsider afaik

zinc parrot
#

yeah thats about what I thought

night harness
#

Ideally you’d have something in the middle of this

#

If you provide more context a less abstract answer could be offered

leaden ice
zinc parrot
#

yeah thats what I thought I might have to do
but that seems really inconvienant for other users to change all instances of enabling/disabling that to use a different function

leaden ice
#

to be fair to those users, they probably didn't expect enabling or disabling a MeshRenderer to have whatever side effect you're about to add

#

but yes, that's kind of how refactoring software works - you need to switch over users of the old thing to the new thing

zinc parrot
#

im not quite sure how to
I have script B that acts as a "parent"/container to a bunch of script A's
each script A is gaurenteed to be in a gameobject with a meshrenderer
when the meshrenderer gets disabled, I need to send a signal to script B that a specific script A's state has changed

#

fair enough

leaden ice
#

well certainly it could just check them all each frame

#

if there's not too many that's not that big of a deal

night harness
#

MeshRenderer’s being toggled should be the result of a state change, not the state change itself

leaden ice
#

but otherwise - B needs to listen to the events of the As changing

zinc parrot
#

ok no wait
script A doesnt get toggled itself
its in a gameobject with another component, and that other component(meshrenderer) gets toggled
script A then needs to send a signal to script B to update

leaden ice
#

yeah I know what you're asking

#

I'm describing the hyprothetical scenario with the new abstraction in place

#

without that you need to just check periodically

zinc parrot
#

ah

night harness
#

Would be kinda nice if Unity did let you listen to activity like that tho, even though in most situations it’s avoidable

leaden ice
night harness
#

fair

zinc parrot
#

also if I have like 5000 small buffers(1 buffer for each mesh that stores its triangle data, I cant know the AMOUNT of these buffers I have)
is there a super fast way to combine them all into one large compute buffer? cuz currently I am using just a compute shader that gets dispatched for each addition of small buffers into large buffers, but it takes about 50ms this way

leaden ice
#

better to rewrite that to use one large buffer

zinc parrot
#

I cant do any pre-compaction or merging

Mathf.Pow(2f, -angle))); always returns zero, at least for angle values 0 < x

#

just a sec

leaden ice
#

let me test that - I'd be surprised...

fading hare
#

Pow output with angle 45: 2.842171E-14

lean sail
#

if these are euler angles, like where angle can be 50
2^-50 is an incredibly small number

fading hare
#

so it's not zero just, very very small

leaden ice
#

yeah that's correct

#

you're taking the 45th root of 2

lean sail
#

did you put that into your calculator, thats how math works

leaden ice
#

i expect the 45th root to be tiny

#

how can i code shaders for unity without shader graph? i would prefer code them by myself because i already have experience using gpu stuff. is there a good tutorial about shader coding?

fading hare
#

my calculator is giving me a different result though? when I try it out, I get 1

leaden ice
#

what did you type into your calculator

#

Are you mixing up Pow and Sin or Cosine?

lean sail
fading hare
leaden ice
#

try just 2^-45 in your calculator

#

google agrees with Unity

#

because - as you'd expect, the 45th root of 2 is very small

I think I understand better now

#

thanks!

leaden ice
#

or actually sorry

#

it's noit the 45th root of 2

lean sail

#

it's 1 / 2^45

it's 1 / really big number which = really small number

Does Resources.Load() create a new instance of the object, or a reference to the object in the game files?

#

specifically ScriptableObjects?

#

ie: if I use Resources.Load() on a ScriptableObject in my Assets and modify the values, does it update those values on the ScriptableObject in my Assets, or am I creating a new instance of that ScriptableObject and modifying it's values?

earnest epoch
mystic jetty
earnest epoch
#

You can use the AssetDatabase namespace to modify them while using the editor, but that won't build to the player.

#

What you want to do is create a system to store your data and only use ScriptableObjects for the initial conditions of whatever you need. That's not a place to put your game logic.

mystic jetty
#

Well what I'm doing is creating an instance of them in my Assets folder, then I have references to them and modify their values at runtime.

I know this doesn't save after the game stops running.

#

This has been working fine for me so far. However I'm working on my save system (where I pull data from that ScriptableObject) and wondering if I can just grab it from Resources.Load()

earnest epoch
#

They're essentially stateless beyond holding cookie-cutter data written at compile-time.

somber nacelle
#

scriptable objects are mutable. the changes just don't persist across multiple sessions in a build like they do in the editor

mystic jetty
#

Ok that makes sense. I will just have to store a reference to the ScriptableObject in my Assets folder somewhere rather than using Resources.Load(). Thank you!

earnest epoch
#

Sorry, "mutable" wasn't the word. boxfriend explained it better.

mystic jetty
#

yea I understood what you meant!

#

but could totally see how it'd be confusing for a newbie

earnest epoch
#

@mystic jetty What you could do is make a self-serializing scriptableobject. 👀

mystic jetty
#

would that work with BinaryFormatter?

#

honestly I haven't looked into making my own serializable data. I'm just serializing basic types into a file via BinaryFormatter.

#

Then deserializing those types and plugging those values into my ScriptableObject at runtime

earnest epoch
somber nacelle
mystic jetty
somber nacelle
#

that's covered in the article.

This scenario can be leveraged to nefarious effect. If the app is a game, users who share save files unknowingly place themselves at risk. The developers themselves can also be targeted. The attacker might email the developers' tech support, attaching a malicious data file and asking the support staff to open it. This kind of attack could give the attacker a foothold in the enterprise.

mystic jetty
#

ah I missed that sorry.

#

good point. Ok I'll look into converting to a JSON system. BinaryFormatter is a pain in the ass anyways

earnest epoch
mystic jetty
earnest epoch
#

Honestly, I forget which one is which, but I'm thinking of one of those. I think I prefer Newtonsoft, but can't exactly recall the differences.

# mystic jetty how's JsonUtility?

json utility is limited but fast and uses unity's built in type serializers, json.net (newtonsoft) is the full featured convenient option that needs a bit of massaging to work with unity types. Its generally recommended to use json.net (unity packages themselves use it frequently and its offered as an official unity package). you can find converters for unity types on github/openupm.

why is the Linq IEnumberable<T>.ToList() supposedly so much worse than simply casting the IEnumerable<T> to List<T>?

at least it is according to the roslyn analyser inside project auditor, the unity package

knowing Linq it probably generates a ton of garbage somewhere

Yeah, .ToList/Array and such usually allocate a new collection instance.

If it's a list under the hood, sure.

Otherwise you'd just get a null

It's no longer a list after you use .Where.

steady bobcat

ToList() will resolve the whole enumeration sequence into a list right then

ToList guarantees a new list is created

Reverse ragdoll, smooth transition from physics to animated state

I would rather not do that

cosmic rain
#

What people usually do for that is have several rigs. One for animation, one for physics and one where they blend between the two. Or they somehow do blending on the physics rig.

#

If it's some local ragdolling(like staggering on hit), then you can probably do it with one rig. Just apply displacement to bones in late update or something.

mossy flare
#

Are you talking about active ragdolls?

#

What do you mean local ragdolling? How is that local?

The goal is to make him transition to the first frame of the getting up animation and then play from there

heya, I have a compute shader that I use to sample points on my terrain mesh (per triangle) and generate grass

it's almost perfect, but I have this flickering issue if I let grass spawn on slopes. the problem seems to be with edges with differing normals (aka slopes), and I'm having some trouble fixing it. I was hoping someone could provide some insight

    // Fold the square [0..1]^2 into the standard triangle domain

    float s2 = bary.y;
    float s3 = 1.0f - s1 - s2;

    // Actual world position from barycentric combination
    float4 pos = float4(
        s1 * v1Pos +
        s2 * v2Pos +
        s3 * v3Pos,
        1
    );
        
    float4 clipPos = mul(_VP_MATRIX, pos + float4(_Transform, 0));
    uint isInFrustum = FrustumCull(clipPos);

How to get refrence to a scene project-wide.

# rigid island wdym "how bad is it " ?

Whenever I need a direct refrence to the asset I have to convert between these types because datastore has a GUID and a path to scene, path is useless but I can reconstruct it from GUID. System involes loading / saving / moving scenes around in files.

I know this question is inherently cooked but;

If a prefab has a serialized reference to another prefab, when you instansiate it the reference is still pointing to the prefab "asset". This is chill

If a prefab has a serialized reference to itself, when you instantiate it the reference will point to the instantiated version of itself. Is there non awful way I can avoid this?

#

(no could be a valid answer)

latent latch
#

You sure? I'd imagine it would point to the asset instance

night harness
#

I assume it points to itself the same way a reference to a component on itself would also reference the newly instanced version

#

as its in it's own scope

latent latch
#

Well, if you want the prefab instance, make your own static that binds the asset to that new instance after instantiating

night harness
#

I can't

#

because not all usecases involve instantiation (eg. in-scene placement)

#

hence why I'm looking to do this 😛

latent latch
#

uhhh, ok how about a PrefabManager singleton and each instance in Awake() will access its lookup table and find its prefab reference

night harness
#

can you elaborate on lookup tablew

latent latch
#

Actually, it would need to be done in OnValidate because it'll lose that prefab reference in Awake

#

Or, ID the prefabs yourself and the PrefabManager lookup table will return the reference of the ID

night harness
#

😔

#

was hoping i could avoid shenanigans like that

latent latch
#

well, you wouldn't need the table if you do it via OnValidate(), only during the runtime would you need to use the singleton

allSlots = FindObjectsByType<ItemSlot>(FindObjectsSortMode.None); probably better to have a centralized manager for all the slots and just assign this in the inspector

There should be one and only one thing managing the slots

Really? Isn't obj==null just a simple pointer check?

Why would it be expensive?

thick terrace

it's overloaded for Unity objects, it checks if the object was destroyed too

astral orbit
#

Ah gotcha

thick terrace
#

i don't think it's that expensive really, but it is more so than just a pointer check

astral orbit
#

I thought so too, but maybe there is something better to use than != null, idk

thick terrace
#

if you know it'll only be null or not-null and never a reference to a destroyed object, you could write it as x is not null or !ReferenceEquals(x, null), but i expect you'd have to have a lot of them before it made even a small performance difference

Yes that is my case exactly, don't think it matters but good to know the idea 👍

Should you have different [System.Serializable] Save Data for every other object or just one save data for every object?

Example of what I mean:
Game Save Data: Consists player's collected coins
Unlocked Save Data: Contains whatever player has unlocked in the game

OR

Universal Save Data: Contains all the data and one constructor to initialize them as well

Depends on the scale of the game and what makes sense for your implementation

...Okay I don't get it
Seems like one script's start executes before other script's awake
is this even possible or I messed something up?

they both are on objects existing in the scene

when I start the active object sends debug log from start faster than inactive from awake

Inactive objects don't run any Unity methods

you tell me Awake doesn't run on inactive objects?

it runs before OnEnable as soon as you activate them

Awake: This function is always called before any Start functions and also just after a prefab is instantiated. (If a GameObject is inactive during start up Awake is not called until it is made active.)

    spawnedInstance.SomeSpecificSetupNeededOnYourInstanceBeforeItShouldDoStuff()
    spawnedInstance.SetActive(true)
    myPrefab.SetActive(true)
cold parrot
night harness
# cold parrot otherwise it seems "complicated"

I just mention it to point out it's not two reasons awake happens instantly but one reason (a object being set to active for the first time) just being caused by two different things (setting it to active explicitly or as a result of instansiating an active object)

practically it's irrelevant but might help understand what's actually happening there

Hello, I am getting memory allocation errors. I understand why they originated in the first place, but do not understand why they retain.

The origin of this was an exponential recursion loop (seen in image2), completely my fault for forgetting how big exponentials are.

Any tips on how to fix the error? i alr have some ideas on making the script not do what it did

steady bobcat
#

If there is any unsafe code relating to this then share it

wide totem
#

im not too experienced with what that means, but i can share the entire script, one sec

steady bobcat
#

then means its not from your code. Unless you are using unsafe or burst or some native collections then GC will take care of it all

#

Why? native memory allocation can easily "leak" but in normal c# the GC cleans up memory for us

wide totem
#

okay nvm icant send my entie script, but thats weird i dont think im in unsafe mode

steady bobcat
#

yea its probably some other thing and not your fault. Any useful information in the errors?

#

didnt have the leak till i ran that method specifically, but i could be wrong

steady bobcat
#

Yea I think it's some other things not relating to your code. It mentions TLS anyway

in any case, refactor the code to eliminate the recursion

#

and apply some proper formatting/style

ofc the stack explodes, but not because he's using local variables

the recursion needs to be removed anyway

He is not using local variables, unless you think the compiler is smart enough to put the 10 new vectors he is using into a single variable

So ?

vestal arch
#

they might not even get to the stack

#

local variables are allocated to the stack

#

these aren't in variables, as you say

west lotus
#

You think the compiler pushes a single value to a register and reuses it

#

Could be compilers are wicked smart. I dont have the time to look at the machine code this will produce

vestal arch
#

no, it probably gets set multiple times

west lotus
#

Me personally I would not write that code the way it is written

vestal arch
#

but i'd guess not on the stack

west lotus
#

And I think the advice I gave is sound

vestal arch
#

but really it wouldn't make a difference for perf

#

i agree with your proposed change, but not for the reason you gave; it'd be more readable and less mistake-prone

west lotus
#

I think that depending on his loop and recursion count my change will indeed save the stack but that’s just me

vestal arch
#

i doubt that

#

im pretty sure just the stack frame is larger than a vector allocation

the stack frame is gonna get popped so that allocation isn't gonna matter anyways

nothing you do inside a function is going to allocate new stack space unless you use stackalloc

please don't do THAT in a loop

unless it's TCO'd

well, that's not inside that function at that point, that's a new function lol

i mean. yeah, so it's in a function

you know what i mean though lol

vestal arch
#

not really, no

#

the normal stack allocation is using functions and locals

#

so.. that's what we're talking about

cold parrot
thick terrace
#

if you call a function a million times in a loop you won't run out of stack space because it uses a fixed amount and pops the stack when it returns, that's what i mean

sure, but this is recursive

#

you can run out of stack space if the "loop" you have is recursion without TCO

that's what a stack overflow is

“distanceValue” is a bool? monkaHmm

#

In that case what does “distanceValue == true” mean?

steady bobcat
#

Yea this sounds like a miss understanding

slender bear
#

From the looks of it, probably what you want is TryGetValue

#

That returns a bool — if the key/value pair exists, returns true and outs the value. Otherwise returns false and outs a default value

#

But then you don’t need ContainsKey

#

So you could also refactor it to be more concise

#

Or if distanceValue is indeed meant to be a bool maybe give it a clearer name of what it is supposed to indicate

“isOccupied” or whatever

if a specific point is colliding
what do you mean by that?

wide totem
#

basically im checking if ground (part of a tile map with collider) is in the same position that i am checking (nextPos)

#

atleast thats the goal

vestal arch
#

damn i was gonna suggest IsTouching but that's 2d only...

wide totem
#

i am in 2d actually

#

let me test that

vestal arch

oh

#

You should be able to check if the shape contains a point iirc 🤔

vestal arch
#

why are you using Physics then?

#

that's for 3d lol

#

you wouldn't use a sphere or a box in 2d

wide totem
#

couldnt find any alternatives 😭

vestal arch
#

you'd use a circle or a square, provided by Physics2D

wide totem
#

i didnt see an equivelent with 2d but i may be blind

#

Physics isn't going to work with 2d stuff

#

unity has 2 physics systems, one in 3d, one in 2d

#

they don't interact

#

the stuff without any suffix are 3d, the 2d stuff are marked as such

layerMask are weird..

#

there we go! tysm

Hello, I have a question.

In Unity, an Animator is instanced. How do I make so that Animator is not instanced (having exactly the same variables)? I have exactly 2 same rigs, and I want them to play the same animation, but I don't want to put script inside the second rig.

In Unreal Engine, the AnimBP is shared in the character blueprint (if we have 2 rigs using same AnimBP, the variables would share).

private void OnGUI()
    {
        GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 10, 200, 30), $"Total Pool Size: {bulletPool.CountAll}");
        GUI.Label(new Rect(10, 30, 200, 30), $"Active Objects: {bulletPool.CountActive}");
    }```
I'm having a really weird issue with the object pool API, so put a simple function in there
#

For some reason the list of Active Objects is a negative number????

#

And the pool never gets larger than 2?

#

I've set the default capacity to 50 and max size to 200 but only one object is ever created in the pool and after a while it just destroys itself instead of disabling

leaden ice
#

The COuntaCtive issue might come from destroying objects rather than returning them to the pool

proven beacon
#

The only Destroy call is when the ObjectPool should be destroying it... i'm pretty sure they're not being destroyed anywhere else

#

Really weird things are happening in general with this

#

Only one bullet ever shows up in the hierarchy despite the fact that I know there's multiple of them

leaden ice
#

You'll have to show more details here

#

not enough information

proven beacon
#

Yeah there's no code here destroying the objects.

#

why doesn't the API just instantiate the pool at the start?

#

Not filling up the object pool until the player does something like starts shooting feels completely counterintuitive to what I'm even using pooling for

leaden ice
#

the pool is about reusing objects

#

as in, not destroying them when they go away to avoid GC.

prewarming is not always the right move.

#

it guarantees you use a lot of memory that you might not otherwise need to use.

rigid island
#

what if you end up spawning less than what you allocated for pool

proven beacon
#

I'm just trying to figure out what the heck this thing is actually doing and why it's randomly destroying my bullets

#

despite the pool not being full

leaden ice
#

I honestly very much doubt it has anything to do with the pool

#

Do you have a particle system on the bullets perhaps

#

all kinds of things could be destroying your objects

proven beacon
#

Hell I'm firing a minigun here there's no way the pool is only 2 objects big

#

I don't have a particle system on them,

leaden ice
#

As I said before, if you want help, you really need to share more details

rigid island
#

only the objects that reach MaxSize return to pool when not in use and get collected
(not to be confused with default size)

proven beacon
#

The shoot function's pretty big but it's just whenever mouse1 is pressed or held

cold parrot
#

how, not when

proven beacon
#

Using the Get function

We're asking you to show your code

Release aka Return to Pool

proven beacon
#

On the gun script I have this part

private Bullet CreatePooledObject()
    {
        Bullet instance = Instantiate(bullet, attackPoint.position, Quaternion.identity);
        instance.Disable += ReturnObjectToPool;
        instance.gameObject.SetActive(false);

        return instance;
    }

    private void ReturnObjectToPool(Bullet instance)
    {
        bulletPool.Release(instance);
    }

Then on the Bullet script itself I have this

public delegate void OnDisableCallback(Bullet Instance);
    public OnDisableCallback Disable;```
#

Then instead of calling Destroy I call Disable?.Invoke(this);

#

It's a solution from LlamAcademy

that might lead to you trying to return the object to the pool more than once

proven beacon
#

That's true,

leaden ice
#

not necessarily the main issue but something I'm noticing

leaden ice
# proven beacon That's true,

not only in OnCollisionEnter but your Update really has no protection against it. In fact if the bullet times out based on lifetime it will almost certainly call Explode several times

#

as many frames as you get in 0.05 seconds

proven beacon
#

I'm putting a bool in there to control that,

#

and at the same time I should probably be resetting the collisions counter in OnEnable

I'm trying to make cinemachine work, but the camera doesn't move with my mouse :/ I watched a few tutorial about it, and I don't see what they did that I missed
Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong here ? ^^"

what kind of camera are you trying to implement here

north skiff

Ah 😅 That might be the issue, all the tutorials I've seen seemed to have that behavior implemented by default ^^"

create a FreeLook camera from the menu for a simple third person controller setup

ok i'll migrate my question there, thanks

Hi! I had some questions about scene/level loading. If I want to attach data to my scenes that define what they do/are used for like what a scriptable object does, how would I go about doing that? Are there any ways of attaching scripts to scenes so that they run whenever the scene? Is there a way to access game objects in the scene without loading it? Thanks!

leaden ice
#

reference that

#

and use it to load the scene

#

you cannot directly reference a scene unfortunately

ripe epoch
#

so whenever I call loadscene i pass in the scene from the so name?

leaden ice
#

sure or just literally put a LoadMe() function on the SO

#

and it can load its own defined scene

ripe epoch
#

makes sense

#

does scene order matter in that case?

leaden ice
#

scene order in the build profile/build settings?

ripe epoch
#

yeah

leaden ice
#

If you're using scene names no

ripe epoch
#

ok

leaden ice
#

if you use scene index that's based on the order in the list

ripe epoch
#

so i just need to stick to names

#

thanks a bunch

you can make it ignore, suggest, throw a warning, or throw an error

#

Is it possible to force a player input to use a new user

#

I have two player objects that are assigned to the same player, hence they use the same user

#

Since I'm doing something akin to split screen I'd like for one to have a new user so that they cannot use the same input device

#

In theory, this is what the docs are saying, but practically I create two objects with two different player input so they shouldn't use the same device, although they do

image.png
#

The only difference I can see is that one doesn't have that user field

image.png image.png
#

Also weirdly enough there it says it's linked with the gamepad, but the gamepad doesn't work, rather the keyboard does, which is supposed to be only linked with user 0 (in another unity player)
