[delicate bramble]

It's just more complicated, since I need to be at a certain position

Guess I need to do some math

[craggy kite]

@delicate bramble maybe this is something still, even if it was 2017: https://answers.unity.com/questions/209656/having-a-kinematic-rigidbody-detect-collision-with.html

[delicate bramble]

Yea, I think that is the same as the Use Full Kinematic Contacts checkbox

But I'll look over the versions, since the unity UI has change since that post

[craggy kite]

You could still check for colliders in scripts, which is the approach for using kinematics, I think. Instead of relying on oncollisionenter

[delicate bramble]

How?

Is there a fast way to do it with out checking every other collider, or setting up my own whole collision detection system?

[craggy kite]

Lets make clear, what do you want to happen if it collides?

[delicate bramble]

A lot of stuff

I need to check for the last non colliding position, and use that to move and rotate a Vector2 variable

I also need to access some of the variable on the object I am colliding with

[craggy kite]

Phew, I guess you have to do your own detection system to make it reliable. maybe osmeone else has a better idea, but as you are already doing all the physics reactions yourself with rotation and stuff, you should also do the checking. You can use physics sphere check for example a tthe size of your object.

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.CheckSphere.html

[delicate bramble]

Yea, I just know that checking all other colliders is O(n), which is slow if I have too many objects

And the alternatives are a lot of work

and I was hoping unity would do it for me

[craggy kite]

you can use layermasks

[delicate bramble]

What are those?

[craggy kite]

you can tell what layers of your objects you want to check against in physics, therefore you dont have to check every layer like default, just put your objects in a separate layer

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/LayerMask.html

[delicate bramble]

Yea, but I only have 3-4 types of objects

and they all have to collide with each other

It's not a very complex game

[craggy kite]

yeah but your raycast sphere check does not have to check against everything. but still, its just a small sphere you would check for your information you need, right?

[delicate bramble]

I need to know the normal vector of the surface the ball encounters

[craggy kite]

Right now you have a collider on your object which checks my the physics system, with the script, you are basically doing the same but force it to check like in update or so

[delicate bramble]

I don't understand

Can I ask unity if there is a collider within some distance of a point?

Or do I have to check every collider to see if any of them are close enough to collide with

[craggy kite]

yes to first and nope to second question 😉

Its like a sphere raycast it a limited space

[delicate bramble]

What is the function?

[craggy kite]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.CheckSphere.html
...

[delicate bramble]

Is there a way to also get the specific colliders/gameobjects that are colliding?

[craggy kite]

maybe this would be better https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics.OverlapSphere.html

[vocal condor]

The returned array should contain those that have collided.

[delicate bramble]

That seems to be working

Thank you so much @craggy kite

I really appreciate it

[craggy kite]

@delicate bramble yw, hope you can get your desired physical behaviour there 🙂

[delicate bramble]

This actually works so much better

[craggy kite]

Yeah, if you decide to marry that kinematic stuff, you really got a bond there 😄

[delicate bramble]

I didn't realize it was an option

This will help me so much

Thanks again!

[craggy kite]

pleased to help 🙂

[dark fern]

Hey, i am having an issue with Scroll rects. When i drag its doesnt move. any advice?

[craggy kite]

phew, scrollrects can have certain issues when you handle them wrong. is the content big enough to get out of the rect?

[dark fern]

same size, i am making an upgrade screen so the ScrollRect and then panel of teh contents I wanna scroll are the same size. When i do the exact same thing on an empty canvas(new project) it works but when i put it to my upgarde screen in my game it doesnt move.

[craggy kite]

if its the same size, it has nothing to scroll, I guess

[elfin sandal]

I'm using pixel perfect, but I want to have a parallax effect and I found some code online
but it's choppy.
anyone know what can make it less choppy? Or why it's choppy for that matter...

here's the code

public class Parralax : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector2 ParallaxEffectMultiplier;
    Transform camtransform;
    Vector3 lastcampos;
    float textureUnitSizeX;


    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        camtransform = Camera.main.transform;
        lastcampos = camtransform.position;
        Sprite sprite = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().sprite;
        Texture2D texture = sprite.texture;
        textureUnitSizeX = texture.width / sprite.pixelsPerUnit;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void LateUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 deltamovement = camtransform.position - lastcampos;
        transform.Translate(deltamovement * ParallaxEffectMultiplier);
        lastcampos = camtransform.position;

        if(Mathf.Abs(camtransform.position.x - transform.position.x) >= (textureUnitSizeX * transform.localScale.x ))
        {
            float offsetPosx = (camtransform.position.x - transform.position.x)  % textureUnitSizeX ;
            transform.position = new Vector3(camtransform.position.x + offsetPosx, transform.position.y);
        }


    }```

[elfin sandal]

would my movement code affect it?

[still tendon]

So I want to add an explosion after my rocket launcher missle explodes, how would I go about doing this? Can I save a video as a sprite?

[tropic inlet]

could possibly find some software that lets you convert a video to a spritesheet or somethin', if u rly want to use a video
or u could look for animated 2d explosion sprites

maybe in the asset store idk

[still tendon]

So unity does not have a way to import videos into the game?

@tropic inlet

[tropic inlet]

im noob

idk

[still tendon]

lol no worries thanks

[late roost]

Hi there!

I'm trying to create a grid with a specified size where each box on the grid holds multiple values of information as well as can be affected by the grid cells around it.

From what I can work out, a 2D array can help me with the grid itself, but I'm not too sure how to go about the next step actually assigning values to each cell like a simple database. Is there a way to do that? Do I need an array inside the array? Am I completely left-field and there's an easier way to do it?

[late roost]

This is the code I have at the moment, which gives me the different values for each item in the array, but I'm not sure how to get it to a 2d array so it can be layered overtop the game grid:

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

public class TestingGrid2 : MonoBehaviour
{

    [SerializeField] private SubClass[] myArray;

    public void SetValue(int index, SubClass subClass)
    {

        // Perform any validation checks here.
        myArray[index] = subClass;

    }

    public SubClass GetValue(int index)
    {

        // Perform any validation checks here.
        return myArray[index];

    }

}

[System.Serializable]
public class SubClass
{

    public int number;
    public string text;

}```

[cinder veldt]

@late roost friendly tid-bit 😉

[polar galleon]

Hello guys :)

I've got a questions. If you know the game barotrauma the submarines can flood. I trying to figure out how to do this. Completely simulating the water with either particles or blobs seems unreasonable performance heavy at some point.

Just having a rising plane of water looks gross.

I was thinking about a plane that will start at x,y of the leak and goes to x,y of the end of the room, smooth out the motion and smooth out the triangles/sprite using a shader.

Is this the way to go or do you guys have any better ideas/solutions ?

Many thanks in advance!

@polar galleon u should use a plane with a shader.. u can procedurallly make the wave motions by changing the vertices...

and then even add some white highlight / foam etc where the plane intersects other geometry

[polar galleon]

@cinder veldt thanks for your fast answer!

[cinder veldt]

https://youtu.be/Vg0L9aCRWPE?t=135

something similar to this

[polar galleon]

looks kinda messy, but when I open the "red" door the water should come in so I start the plane at the door, place the last vertex at the end of the room and gradually increase one of the vertexes at the end of the room to increase the height of the water, this will add a "flat" triangle line which I then can smooth out using a shader

[cinder veldt]

sure..

i totally forgot i was in 2d-code

[polar galleon]

same would probably kinda apply to 3d if I want to have this "curved" shape of water being higher at the point of entrance then at the end of the room first. Just more complicated

[cinder veldt]

ya

i see what ur saying tho

[polar galleon]

Thanks for your input, much appreciated!

[candid onyx]

hello, i have made this to detect when the player hits the enemy. Because my enemy has both a box collider and circle collider, it detects 2 hits. How do I make it so it only hits one?

    {
        //Play attack animation
        anim.SetTrigger("Attack");

        //Detect enemies within range of attack
        Collider2D[] hitEnemies = Physics2D.OverlapCircleAll(attackpoint.position, attackRange, enemyLayers);

        //Damage Enemies
        foreach(Collider2D enemy in hitEnemies)
        {
            Debug.Log("Enemy Hit");
            enemy.GetComponent<EnemyScript>().TakeDamage(attackDamage);
        }
    }```

[polar galleon]

You could get the gameobject of the hit enemy, use some linq to find it inside hitEnemies and then remove all colliders containing the gameobject of the one you already hit.

Probably enough to check if its the same instance of the EnemyScript

Just out of interest, why do you have 2 colliders ?

[candid onyx]

one for trigger

one for actual collide

[sweet swan]

perhaps have the attack only hit one of them with the layermask param

[candid onyx]

is that logical cause idk

lemme try something quick

ok im stupid. turns out i dont need one of the colliders
sorted

[polar galleon]

glad to hear 🙂

[prisma ocean]

is it possible to create a circle collider that works to keep things inside the circle?

is it possible to create a circle collider that works to keep things inside the circle?
@prisma ocean https://answers.unity.com/questions/1309521/how-to-keep-an-object-within-a-circlesphere-radius.html

using a collider would probably defeat its purpose.

@candid onyx

[candid onyx]

thank you

i found out it needs to be defined in start function

[fervent ermine]

if im using OnCollisionEnter2D

and it gives me the Collision2D object, is collider or othercollider the one that is part of the object that this script is in

[vocal condor]

collider is the collider that performed the collision.

You can get a specific component afterwards and it would be the correct object. Else, it's relative to the object with rb.

thats everything

nothing else

actually this

besides that

is EnemyMove the name of the script

[fervent ermine]

yeah

[robust ivy]

EnemyMove.cs

k

weird

cant figure out what it is

did you try deleeting the parenthesis and re writing it?

could be a illegal invisible character.. never seen it happen in vs but it does in other ide sometime

[fervent ermine]

everytime i retype that one, it de indents these three lines

OHHH

i was defining public variables in the method

Im really new to coding so bear with me. I'm trying to make a vent system where players can hold e on a vent and after a short period of time theyll get teleported to another point in the map. if someone knows any tutorials it be a great help. all the ones I can find are just portal styled

[civic knot]

@still tendon why would it be different from a portal? You only need 2 things:

• increase some value when a button is pressed near the object and reset it otherwise.
• when the value reaches certain threshold, move the character to a different position.

[candid onyx]

how to i make an object a prefab without losing its assigned references. I have an enemy which has an object called "target" which is the player. I have a script to clone the enemy prefab but the prefab has lost this target variable? (please @ if you have suggestion)

[civic knot]

@candid onyx scripts in a prefab can only reference things inside the prefab or other assets. They can't reference objects in the scene.

[candid onyx]

ok thank you

[runic sail]

@candid onyx My go-to method for solving this is making the player a singleton.

Need help to limit how much a transform can rotate towards its target.

    [SerializeField] Vector2 rotationLimit = new Vector2(-90, 90);
    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        transform.up = Player.Instance.transform.position - transform.position;
        //Clamp the rotation using rotationLimit.
    }```
Thoughts?

[vocal thunder]

Try Mathf.clamp

[fervent ermine]

i have a problem

this is my character

the capsule is the actual collider for the player, and the box is a trigger for objects that can be picked up

i have a block that breaks when you step on it and the only problem is that it gets triggered by the box. how do i stop it

[runic sail]

You can add a tag to the player and check if the collider has the same tag as the player. The rectangle should be of a different tag, of course.

[prisma ocean]

I want to make a system where if you mouse over an object, then if possible it will make a box appear like the one I've drawn in the bottom right (in world). Any ideas for what I should google for this? 🙂

[runic sail]

You mean a tooltip?

[fervent ermine]

i have a parentclass called activator, and a child class called floorbutton. if i do GetComponent<Activator>() on an object that has a FloorButton script on it, will it return the FloorButton?

[runic sail]

Yes.

[fervent ermine]

cool

[runic sail]

The same applies to interfaces, btw.

[prisma ocean]

@runic sail Yes exactly thank you! Was on the tip of my tongue haha

[still tendon]

any good tutorials on how to make a door open and close? I can only find one decent one on the internet but im having a hard time understanding

[civic knot]

@still tendon 2d door? Oo

I'd you link the tutorial and tell us what exactly you don't understand, someone might help.

[still tendon]

Im gonna be blunt with you

Everything

[civic knot]

Then try a more basic tutorial.

[still tendon]

lol

[civic knot]

The first thing that you don't understand. Look up a tutorial for that.

[still tendon]

I've been trying to find another one but there doesnt seem to be alot of top down 2d door tutorials

im obv not gonna stop looking but its quite weird how few there are

[civic knot]

I mean, if you don't understand "everything", you're clearly missing some basics.

So you should look for basics tutorial instead.

[cinder veldt]

2d and 3d share alot .. the same concept for a 3d door would work in 2d..

2d animations instead of 3d, box collider 2d's instead of normal box colliders etc

[flat widget]

Hello there ! What could be the reason for a 2Dcollision to not happen between 2 objects, when both have 2Dcolliders, trigger unchecked, and 2Drb ?

[polar galleon]

Do you have a Rigidbody attached @flat widget ?

[flat widget]

yeah, on both

they are on the same layer, the layer's order is the same

i just don't get it why it do not happen

(and the trigger work cause I use it later in the loop)

trigger is off on both, then ON on the enemy. I have a OnTrigger script that work, obviously, but the OnCollisionEnter do not work. The llop being : ontrigger is off during a certain amount of time; During that time, if a collision occurs, piou piou, explosions but the enemy remain alive and then, once the time is elapsed, trigger goes on and THEN the enemy is destroyed

the gif show how the Ontrigger is working but not the OnCollision

Im gonna try something else, like negating the damages from the projectile during xx seconds, allowing the explosioing without damage inputs and then reseting the damages so that it get destroyed

[vocal condor]

You cannot have both trigger and collision working at the same time unless you've got some unique configuration setup @flat widget .

[flat widget]

so I can have a collision while trigger is OFF and then, another one when the trigger is ON ?

damn

[vocal condor]

From the docs:

A trigger doesn't register a collision with an incoming Rigidbody. Instead, it sends OnTriggerEnter, OnTriggerExit and OnTriggerStay message when a rigidbody enters or exits the trigger volume.

[flat widget]

that would explain why I can't even devug the OnCollisionEnter2D

[vocal condor]

2D variant in the 2D case.

You could probably have both.. using multiple objects with colliders; hiding the renderers if necessary.

[flat widget]

yeah but in my case, trigger is OFF for exemple, 5 seconds : no collision can happen during that time ?

that is weird

[vocal condor]

If isTrigger is true, you will no longer have collisions; if that's what you're asking.

Either in collision mode or trigger mode.

[flat widget]

The trigger is off for 5 seconds at the spawn of an enemy. Setup is a spawn protection, with a vfx (a shield) lasting for the time of the spawn protection (the 5 seconds where the trigger is off (false). During that time, I want collision to happen between my projectiles & the enemy, instantiating explosion (like, boom boom, she shield has been hit but no damage done to the enemy itself). Past the spawn protection timer (the 5 seconds), the vfx for the shield is gone, trigger goes ON (true) and then if the enemy get hit BOOM, another kind of explosion is instantiated and the enemy is gone for good (because damages inputs happen on the trigger

the problem I have is that, while trigger is OFF (false), no collision happen (where it should)

[vocal condor]

That is very strange.. and should not happen unless you've set certain colliders to be ignored. It would be great if you can show an illustration of the object with isTrigger false whilst ignoring collision.

[flat widget]

gimme sec, will do another gif

[vocal condor]

the problem I have is that, while trigger is OFF (false), no collision happen (where it should)
So during the first initial 5 seconds after spawn the projectiles go through the enemies (spawn protection - trigger mode) then after that the enemies still ignore collision? So collision never works whether trigger is on or off?

[flat widget]

no, the collision is working once the trigger is true

whell, it's a trigger rather than a OnCollision

[vocal condor]

Should not be, trigger mode should ignore collision.

I think you've got this reversed.

[flat widget]

when the trigger is true, a trigger event happen. But when it is false, the OnCollision do not happen

the gif is processing

[vocal condor]

Can you show your OnCollision code?

I'm assuming that OnCollision is simply not working (maybe that function is never called because of a mistype)

[flat widget]

 
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("PlayerProjectile"))
        {
            GameObject explosion = Instantiate(vfxHit, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            Destroy(explosion, durationOfExplosion);
        }
    } 

[vocal condor]

Possibly have it as collision.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("PlayerProjectile"); assuming parent game object has a different tag and that the projectile may be child to a parent - the player.

[flat widget]

tested, the problem remains

taht is really strange

[vocal condor]

With the collider property we would now be evaluating against the actual collider/object that had the collision rather than the object with RB2D

[flat widget]

I have checked both tags and matrix, everythiong should be working properly ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[craggy kite]

Is there an rb2d on that object? is it kinematic?

[flat widget]

both have (enemy and projectile) kinematic rb2D

[craggy kite]

kinematic wont work with collision then, kinematics do like ignore the typical physics system

[flat widget]

god

man, thank you lmao

the worst being THAT I FREAKING KNEW IT

[craggy kite]

you either have to check against collisions yourself or do like a workaround with a non kinematic collider/rb2d

[flat widget]

yaeh, I can solve that, I barely remember solving something equivalent in another project

[craggy kite]

yeah, kinematic and physics are just stupid 😄

[flat widget]

damn, taht time """wasted""", thank to both of you @craggy kite & @vocal condor

lmao got that explosion on hit working but ...

[vocal condor]

but ...
Seems... interesting 😛

[flat widget]

too bad I ain't working on a space bowling game

[vocal condor]

I smell ricochet damage or bullet asteroid-cluster-dump-fields; highly volatile to COVID cells 🤔

Imagines rapid fire against a mob of cells

[craggy kite]

Can't you makme it static?

[vocal condor]

And if bullets do not expire... (wonders where all of the bullets go.. )

[craggy kite]

But I would love to see a chain raction in that game with all balls destroy the others 😄

[flat widget]

that would be nice yeah, could be added in an update

but first, i need to finish that vanilla version

for the bullet, I have shredders 🙂

[craggy kite]

So what about making the rb2d static, will that fix it?

[vocal condor]

If it's bowling, they should be flying as the results have shown; not sure what kind of game this was meant to be..

[craggy kite]

It is not bowling 😄

[flat widget]

the game is a simple schmup 🙂
@craggy kite im on it

nah, it go through even on static

[craggy kite]

You could still set it to static when it gets hit, therefore it shouldnt move

[flat widget]

and I can't set the projectile as static right now cause it has velocity

will try that !

(I am having to much fun on taht space-bowling-not-a-feature-but-could-lead-to-something's thing)

IT'S WORKING

this line of code has an error

when i turn the character to the right, the character jumping off the map

@craggy kite you here ?

[craggy kite]

This is not the error code, this is just an error saying, that a script has a error somewhere

So show the full console output

[robust willow]

`

[still tendon]

this is the part where the error happened

what will we do
@craggy kite

[craggy kite]

I am only here now and then, please do not ping me all the time

[still tendon]

my bad sorry

[craggy kite]

what does the compile error say?

https://izeeware.com/2020/07/08/unity-smooth-camera-moves-with-pixel-perfect/
I found this script online that fixes camera movement with pixel perfect, but I'm using cinemachine.
Is there a way I can use this for movement instead of lerping?

[craggy kite]

Well you have to check out the API of cinemachine and write into that somehow I guess.

[elfin sandal]

damn

[craggy kite]

There is a documentation about Cinemachine and you can use it with implementing in c# and a using state

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.cinemachine@2.1/api/index.html?_ga=2.163642365.353144050.1605779790-897430853.1570638052

[gilded mantle]

why the ray perception sensor 2d doesn't work. There are no visible rays 😦
Can anyone help me?

[cinder veldt]

u talking about Raycast2D?

[gilded mantle]

yes

[amber rock]

I'm trying to move some missiles in an arc. I'm assuming I can do a new vector 3 and put some variables based on equations in for x and y, but I'm not sure how to make those

[fathom venture]

Howdy, I'm trying to make a dice script for a 2D boardgame where an player avatar moves around some waypoints in a railroaded way, so each time a person rolls a die (e.g they roll a 4) they go from waypoint 1 to waypoint 5 (waypoint 2, 3, 4, 5) and stops there, then it goes to another player. I haven't scripted anything yet for the waypoints or the die.

[sonic sand]

Hello, anyone could help me? I'm trying to add a tag and a collider to a specific tilebase of my tilemap, but I don't know how.

[vast basin]

Hi there. Is there any way to draw many sprites to a Texture2D object in order to create a composite image?

[nimble light]

Hello, I'm trying to make my 2d movement script using rigidbody, but my sprite doesn't move. Here is my code: ```cs
public class MovementBehaviour : MonoBehaviour
{
public Rigidbody2D rgbd;
public float moveSpeed = 4f;

private float _horizontal;
private float _vertical;

void Start()
{
    if (rgbd.Equals(null))
    {
        rgbd = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }
}

void Update()
{
    this._horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    this._vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
    
    rgbd.AddForce(new Vector2(this._horizontal, this._vertical) * (Time.deltaTime * this.moveSpeed), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
}

}

[cinder veldt]

any errors?

[nimble light]

Nope

[spring ledge]

@nimble light You're seting both axis to _horizontal. Also "this.vertical" shouldn't even exist?

[nimble light]

I miss spelled

but it is right written in my code

[spring ledge]

🤔

Are you not just copy/pasting

[nimble light]

no but when I did some test I tried a lot of values so I miss spelled for this

[spring ledge]

Move speed shows up as 4 in the inspector too?

[nimble light]

yes

[spring ledge]

And the rigidbody is not kinematic?

[nimble light]

No it is dynamic

[spring ledge]

Well, try throwing some Debug.Log into the Update to output waht _horizontal and _vertical are, as well as this.moveSpeed

[nimble light]

The values are good

[spring ledge]

weird then

Show your setup? like hiearchy/inspector for the gameobject htat has the rigidbody

[spring ledge]

You've frozen the position?

[nimble light]

oh yes :/

Thank you

[spring ledge]

Haha, well it works now 😄

[leaden flame]

That sucks, this guy asked in multiple channels which made all my helping wasteful.

[spring ledge]

Yeah, crossposting is generally discouraged

[unreal rover]

has anyone made a topdown rpg style game? If so @ me 🙂

[craggy kite]

There is a big tutorial I think about that on youtube

[unreal rover]

would you happen to have a link to said video?

[craggy kite]

actually nope, just remembering, that I found it on youtube, but if you google unity rpg topdown it should actually show up

[unreal rover]

ok thx

[still tendon]

Can anyone teach me how to make a flamethrower in 2d unity? Can't find a tutorial that seems to work

[tropic inlet]

u wanna make the logic for it, or the particle effect?

or both?

[still tendon]

Both, I can only find 3d tutorials that would require me to import packages which cause me to get errors

[tropic inlet]

Yeah, that's one thing I don't like to do
to have to depend on too many external packages, 'cuz if something breaks, then u have to hop the author fixes it

[still tendon]

but does the particle effect look realistic?

[tropic inlet]

I haven't seen any particle effect, so idk

[still tendon]

I will just try a particle effect in 3d on youtube and convert it

[quiet finch]

No. Just the one have a rigidbody2d

[tropic inlet]

Yeah, crossposting is generally discouraged
Yeah, it's selfish; that's why I delete crossposts in a server I moderate.

Someone could try to put a bunch of effort into helping someone who has already received help, just 'cuz the asker didn't want to ask his question in only one channel.

Reposting a question is okay only if it was buried, imo.

[distant pecan]

if your game is a platformer you can just add left/right force in the particle system, set it to world-space and you're good to go, shouldn't be hard

also increase the simulation speed

here is something i've made in 2 minutes without using any texture/shaders/anything

you could also add a child particle for the black smoke

[still tendon]

can you send me a picture of the settings you have for that @distant pecan

[bitter monolith]

Hey guys, I wanna make my first ever game on unity. I want it to be pixelly and 2d but I dont have any ideas on what the game (or basic movement, use etc) should be. An suggestions?

[sweet swan]

#💻┃unity-talk message best not to crosspost heh

[distant pecan]

one moment

oops sorry, the tooltip blocked the view of the first image, i'm sending it again

also i recommend changing the Simulation space from Local to World if the flamethrower is going to be moving

i'm gonna send a gif so you can see what it does

simulation space: local

simulation space: world

[still tendon]

How would I go about pushing items? Making a 2D top down puzzle game and want to push a block 1 tile over

[prisma ocean]

how do I add a gameobject to a tile?

[stuck yacht]

Like make an empty game object?

[prisma ocean]

Well I've made a scripted door that opens and closes when you get close, but I want to be able to add it using the tile pallette so that it snaps to the grid

You can do it with rule tiles by adding a prefab as a default gameobject but there doesn't seem to be an option when making a tile?

[stuck yacht]

I'm not sure, haven't gotten there yet

[prisma ocean]

nmind I just snapped them to the grid lol

[stuck yacht]

ok cool, good job!

[hallow stump]

    {
        if (collision.CompareTag("shrinkLaser") && shrunk == false)
        {           
            transform.localScale = new Vector3(.5f, .5f, 0f);
            GetComponent<Player>().speed = GetComponent<Player>().speed * .5f;
            GetComponent<Player>().jumpForce = GetComponent<Player>().jumpForce * .5f;
            GetComponent<Player>().shrunk = true;
            shrunk = true;
            shrunkTime = shrunkDelayTime;

        }

        if (collision.CompareTag("speedUp") && enter == false)
        {
                GetComponent<Player>().speed = GetComponent<Player>().speed * 2f;
                Debug.Log("enter");
                enter = true;

    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D collision)

    {
        if (collision.CompareTag("speedUp") && enter == true)
        {
                GetComponent<Player>().speed = GetComponent<Player>().speed / 2f;
                Debug.Log("exit");
                enter = false;
        }
    }
}```

this is driving me crazy.

im trying to edit the characters speed and it works in the collision.comparetag(shrinklaser) portion

but in the if (collision.CompareTag("speedUp") && enter == false) { GetComponent<Player>().speed = GetComponent<Player>().speed * 2f; Debug.Log("enter"); enter = true; } portion the player just won't speed up. The debug.log is reading properly also

I just dont get it. it's pretty much copied logic

[vocal condor]

You certain? see multiple prints of the same string..

[hallow stump]

yea im certain

[vocal condor]

You certain? see multiple prints of the same string..

[hallow stump]

        {           
            GetComponent<Player>().speed = GetComponent<Player>().speed * .5f;```

why would this work

[vocal condor]

The log means little if you're printing the same thing in multiple places.

[hallow stump]

but if (collision.CompareTag("speedUp") && enter == false) { GetComponent<Player>().speed = GetComponent<Player>().speed * 2f;} won't

[vocal condor]

Change the string and tell us if it prints isolated to that function.

[hallow stump]

it's not a string even

[vocal condor]

Referring to your print.

[hallow stump]

all it is is getting a float variable from the player script and doubling it

[vocal condor]

debug.log is reading properly

Verify if it's actually entering the conditional branch.

[hallow stump]

im not sure what you mean. when i enter the tag with speedUp. It reads enter once. When i leave it reads exit once. Just like its supposed to.

[vocal condor]

You've got more than ONE place that prints "enter", making that print obsolete.

[hallow stump]

so it is entering it. but its just not changing a thing. Otherwise it would give me in error back. However... my players speed remains the same

i just dont get it

[vocal condor]

Sigh

Verify if it's actually entering the conditional branch.

That's your assumption. Change the string in that print.

[hollow crown]

Use a debugger and then you definitely know. No more confusing logs!

[hallow stump]

well it should be working... might take a bit but there's probably code somewhere else editting the players speed

[vocal condor]

Else you've got two places that prints "enter" and have no way of differentiating.

Should work is not good enough.

[hallow stump]

that doesn't matter

[vocal condor]

That does matter

[hallow stump]

debug.log can print anything

its just text that effects nothing

[vocal condor]

Unless you've got some other means of verifying it's working?

[hallow stump]

its fine i found the issue lol

[vocal condor]

For debug purposes, not to simply provide you a solution..

🤷‍♂️

[hallow stump]

        {
            transform.localScale = new Vector3(1f, 1f, 0f);
            GetComponent<Player>().speed = stableSpeed;
            GetComponent<Player>().jumpForce = stableJumpforce;
            GetComponent<Player>().shrunk = false;
            shrunk = false;
        }``` This kept overridding everything so i turned if (shrunkTime <= 0) into if (shrunkTime <= 0 && shrunk == true) lol

this is why i love coding

@_@

[still tendon]

how do i put a sprite in a material?

[elfin sandal]

how do I move with pixels per unit?

[shadow nebula]

@still tendon you might have to change the imported image's texture mode if it doesn't let you

@elfin sandal unity doesn't use pixels, but if you set your sprites to have 1 pixel per unit then 1 unit will represent 1 pixel. Make sure to tweak gravity accordingly as by default it's configured for metres.

[still tendon]

the texture mode as in .png?

[shadow nebula]

Nah, it's a setting if you click it in the editor

Name might be a bit different but it's a dropdown option

[still tendon]

oh okay, now I know what you mean. The texture type. Thanks

[elfin sandal]

I'm using unity's pixel perfect component and using unity's physics movement causes jittery pixels
so I'm wondering how to convert physics movement to be based on pixels per unit

right now i'm using 32 pixels per unit

But I don't know how to convert it to a vector 3

for movement

[shadow nebula]

Ohh it does have a pixel perfect thing

Perhaps enable pixel snapping

[elfin sandal]

and if floating point movement is used then a jitter effect is seen

[shadow nebula]

That sounds like it should snap renderers to pixel perfect positions

[elfin sandal]

using pixel snapping doesn't help

[shadow nebula]

I'm on mobile so I can't see the issue in the video but try having a script on your camera that makes sure the x and y position is rounded to the nearest 1/32nd of a unit in LateUpdate

[elfin sandal]

will it work with unity's physics?

[shadow nebula]

in LateUpdate:
newPos = transform.position
newPos.x = Mathf.Round(x*32)/32f
same for y
transform.position = newPos

Yes it'll work

As long as you move more than a pixel per frame

If you don't then you can accumulate the remainder and consider it in the calculation but that shouldn't be necessary

[elfin sandal]

what is x supposed to be in newPos.x = Mathf.Round(x*32)/32f

speed?

or the horizontal input?

@shadow nebula

[shadow nebula]

Sorry, x is newPos.x

It just rounds the current position to the nearest 1/32nd of a unit

[elfin sandal]

do I set velocity in fixed update?

[shadow nebula]

Nope

Or

Sorry

Yes

[elfin sandal]

huh?

ok

[shadow nebula]

LateUpdate is just for tweaks at the end of the frame

FixedUpdate is for anything physics

[elfin sandal]

k

[vocal condor]

Physics with Fixed Update; yeah.

[shadow nebula]

You can set it in Update if you don't have physics on your camera

It will feel more responsive that way

[vocal condor]

Jumping into the conversation without reading above; ignore me 😛

[shadow nebula]

Hm

[elfin sandal]

wait hang on i messed up

its cause i put speed in x

[shadow nebula]

Ahh

[elfin sandal]

private void FixedUpdate()
        {
            if (canmove && Mathf.Abs(movedir.magnitude) > .5)
            {
                rb2d.velocity = movedir * speed * Time.deltaTime;
                
            }
        }

        private void LateUpdate()
        {
            Vector2 newPos = transform.position;
            newPos.x = Mathf.Round((newPos.x * 32) / 32f);
            newPos.y = Mathf.Round((newPos.y * 32) / 32f);
            transform.position = newPos;
        }```

so like this right?

cause my character isn't moving

if (!TransitioningToLevel)
            {
                move.x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
                move.y = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
            }
            MoveLookAhead();
            playeranim.SetFloat("DirX", move.x);
            playeranim.SetFloat("DirY", move.y);

            if(move.magnitude > .1)
            {
                playeranim.SetFloat("LastDirX", move.x * 10);
                playeranim.SetFloat("LastDirY", move.y * 10);
            }

            movedir = move.normalized;```

this is in update btw

[shadow nebula]

@elfin sandal the rounding brackets are wronf

wrong

The input must be *32 and the result gets divided, but you do both to the input

round(x * 32)/32 instead of round((x * 32)/32)

[elfin sandal]

newPos.x = Mathf.Round(((newPos.x * 32) / 32f));

like this?

[elfin sandal]

rip I guess

🤷

[frank sigil]

how can i add swipe up control in unity for android devices?

[tropic inlet]

why are u multiplying by Time.deltaTime in FixedUpdate?

why not Time.fixedDeltaTime?

@ juice

[daring tree]

hello i have a problema with platform oneway .... i need help 😛

[lean estuary]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/class-PlatformEffector2D.html

[daring tree]

@lean estuary ... my problema is that player when touch in air platform oneway...does anim landing ....

[lean estuary]

So test that your character bottom part is above the platform first and has a negative y velocity when running landing animation on platform contact.

[lean estuary]

Use code blocks described in #💻┃code-beginner pinned messages to post code to not trigger spam protection.

[daring tree]

add in condition rb.velocity.y<0

you say this?

&& rb.velocity.y<0

[lean estuary]

you also need to be sure you are above the platform

Also should be using enum for the states, you won't be prone to typing mistakes with it and have autocomplete.

[daring tree]

how can i do this?

[lean estuary]

Testing for overlap with platform collider would work fine

[daring tree]

yes, overlap works fine....

whatistheground for ground .... whatistheground2 for oneway

2 debug.log works fine.

[lean estuary]

It should be different from your ground check

it must check the space your character occupies, while test ground checks slightly below as well

[daring tree]

i don't know how to do

i think my problema is in those condition

[lean estuary]

Use https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Gizmos.DrawWireSphere.html To visualize your overlap circle casts to see how they work.

[daring tree]

i have drawed

[lean estuary]

Your both casts use the same circle

[daring tree]

in this height, player does anim landing

i have separated layer mask

[lean estuary]

Your ground test circle should be lower and landing to trigger when ground is overlapping and body circle is not

[daring tree]

this overlap is not good ?

[lean estuary]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.OverlapCapsule.html Would be better for the body as well

[daring tree]

use capsule and not circle

[lean estuary]

Red ground, yellow platform overlap test to make sure you're not inside of it.

So when you are touching ground with ground check you test that you are not inside the platform and going down to landing with negative momentum.

[daring tree]

there, player touch oneway ...not ground

[lean estuary]

If you are using physics you might want to not test against zero, but the velocity being more than .0001f or something like that, physics may jitter

[daring tree]

.... 😩

i see how to do ...

[lean estuary]

Debug everything

[daring tree]

your red ground is similar

[lean estuary]

Output data dynamically to text elements to have flowing updates. See how everything works and interacts

[daring tree]

collision is similiar

problema is in those condition

i must add something

but i don't know thing

[lean estuary]

Experiment, see what works. Try a simplified model to test.

[daring tree]

i think...add capsule doesnt the solution

the work is in groundcheck

[lean estuary]

test everything

[daring tree]

ok i try in other mode , thanks for your time

@lean estuary

i added in those condition

.........&& rb.velocity.y<0 )

works!

[zinc linden]

Hey! I'm trying to create a lose state, where all the arrays get set to false, this is just a few buttons and if the incorrect one gets pressed I'd like for the whole thing to reset and start from the beginning. I've been poking around the idea of using a for loop but I'm not entirely sure how to formulate it properly, any and all input and ideas would be very appreciated guys! ❤️

[robust ivy]

id create a new function called ResetArray, then do a loop in that to clear it:

public void ResetArray() {
   for (int x = 0; x < samples.Length; x++) {
      samples[x] = false;
   }
}

then you just call ResetArray();

if its a List instead of samples.Length use samples.Count

[tight field]

uh

why do you need a method for that?

[robust ivy]

cause i dont know where he put it

do you

[tight field]

you're setting each value of an array to 0, right?

or false

that is

so why not do something like samples = new bool[samples.Length];

[robust ivy]

thats another way

[tight field]

and that's waaay faster

[robust ivy]

but he spoke about using a for loop and wasnt entirely sure how it was written

so i gave him that solution

[tight field]

I see

[zinc linden]

both great solutions lads! Thank you very much!

[still tendon]

How would I get the particle system of my flamethrower to activate when I click the shoot button. I know how to do it for a normal gun, just not when the projectile is a particle system

[still tendon]

nvm I got it

[daring tree]

hello, i have a problem with onewayplatform .... the problema is when i jump near side platform, groundcheck don't collide and in falling collide the "player box collider2d" with "onewayplatf. boxcollider2d" and my player block in platform and doesn't / goes not in STATE = " landing"

someone help me ?

suggestions?

[rapid topaz]

2D Code

Error:
Simply, I am making a multiplayer game in 2D. Currently using BoxCollider2D. I want the player to be able to collide with walls, and ECT. When two players collide, as in one running into one. The player that got pushed is vibrating, or getting pushed away from the other player. This only happens in the client side that pushed the character and not the server. I know this is mainly because the player position can only be changed within the player itself through my code. But instead of doing anything with this, I would just like to ignore collision on players. I tried using the Physics2D and disabling the layer that uses the Player to stop colliding. It did not help.

[zenith tendon]

Hi! I followed a code by one video, but even I copied the code perfectly doesn't work the way it should, it is a PlayerShoot script and was supposed to shoot left and right, but when a shoot to the left, the bullet come to the right

I think that the problem is with the return

I don't know how to program, any help will save my projectm I'll be very thankful

[rapid topaz]

@zenith tendon Error?

@zenith tendon Are you sure you set your public int's to something. For example MaxAmmo to like 30.

Oh

Sorry

I forgot to read what your problem was Lol.

[civic knot]

@zenith tendon do you actually change the x scale of your character?

[rapid topaz]

@zenith tendon Is the bullet going left when you also shoot right or does it go right?

[zenith tendon]

when a shoot right goes to the right

[zenith tendon]

If I understood what you mean, I have put a Shoot position in the right of the character

[civic knot]

In your code you check the local scale of your transform and adjust the velocity direction based on that. If your local scale never changes, it will always Shoot in the right direction.

[terse compass]

ok so im trying to get basic movement, just up, down, left, and right and it works except when you press a, and , d, you go up and down instead of left and right

[distant pecan]

that's because you're modifing the Y axis

[terse compass]

im very new to coding so please explain if you dont mind

[tropic inlet]

x is for horizontal movement
y is for up and down movement
z is for forward and back movement

[terse compass]

yes

so, im confused where in the code its going wrong

wait

nvm

ya im still confused

@tropic inlet so do i need to swap the x and y?

[tropic inlet]

idk

public float speed = 5.0f;
private void Update()
{
    float Horizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    rb.velocity = new Vector2(Horizontal * speed * Time.deltaTime, rb.velocity.y);
}

does this work?

[terse compass]

ill try it, my friend was coding for me then went to sleep and idk how to fix it

[tropic inlet]

Is this supposed to be a platformer, or top-down?

[terse compass]

top down

[tropic inlet]

public float speed = 5.0f;
private void Update()
{
    float Horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    float Vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    Vector2 direction = new Vector2(Horizontal, Vertical).normalized;   
    rb.velocity = direction * speed * Time.deltaTime;
}

test this out

[terse compass]

so with the orginal code, if i do horizontal by itself and no vertical code, it works

[tropic inlet]

Maybe there's some sort of conflict between two parts of the code in ur Update then

I'm wondering tho, does the snippet I just posted work?

[terse compass]

no it didnt

[tropic inlet]

hmm

I'll open a 2D project real quick to test stuff out; I don't do 2D, but I think my vector math should have been correct there

[terse compass]

let me rewrite it, sometimes that fixes, idk what im doing lmao

[tropic inlet]

oh

mb

I did Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") twice

im a clown

    float Horizontal = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    float Vertical = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"); //< -- make sure this says "Vertical"

[terse compass]

@tropic inlet ill try it

[rapid topaz]

float x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"); 
float y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"); 

Yes

[terse compass]

@tropic inlet it works, just VERY slowly, ill have to put the speed at like 1000

[tropic inlet]

hmm tru

I'm testing it out rn and it's very jittery, too

I'll try putting it in FixedUpdate

and changing Time.deltaTime to Time.fixedDeltaTime

there we go

that made it smoother

This is my entire script (minus the usings at the top), and it seems to work:
https://hatebin.com/hwbrygbdua

Do you understand why I used .normalize?

@terse compass

while I have this project up, I might as well make a top-down shooter with squares, lol

im bored

[terse compass]

@tropic inlet sorry i was gone for a bit, i was just messing around with the code and managed to fix the code and also added a camera follower and a mouse rotation thingy

[tropic inlet]

ok

[terse compass]

now i was going to start shooting bullets but i have no clue

[tropic inlet]

wait

u wanna spawn bullets too?
from ur top-down character

[terse compass]

well, make them shoot from the tip of the triangle

[tropic inlet]

i see

[terse compass]

how would i even start to do that

[tropic inlet]

One thing Brackeys did was he made a child gameobject

and he called it "firepoint", or something

[meager mural]

🥴

[tropic inlet]

he saved a reference to the firepoint to some variable

and when he wanted to fire his bullet

he used the Instantiate function

and supplied the position of the firepoint

[terse compass]

gotcha, do you remember what video that was from, i would like to watch it and learn

[tropic inlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkKsl1Mfp5M&ab_channel=Brackeys

[terse compass]

cool thanks!

@tropic inlet how would i make a "bullet" if im just using shapes, just make a rectangle and change the color?

[tropic inlet]

if u want to, sure

I use mspaint.exe if i want to make a simple shape. I save it as an image file, import it into my Unity project, drag the sprite into the hierarchy to create a GameObject, save as a prefab

i should prob use paint.net instead

[still tendon]

guys

do you think i could make 1v1 platform multiplayer game with some help of some friends?

i don't have experience with c# but i learn pretty fast as i've worked with js alottt

[fiery yarrow]

i want to make a little Nebulus clone (it's just for study/myself). this is a super old game where you have a tower and you climb up to the top on platforms. the original was made fully in 2d and i definitely want to keep the 2d feel to it. (it was also known as Tower Toppler, its a game from 1987 for Commodore/Atari/similar systems)
but im wondering if my actual execution in the background should be 2d or 3d.

im a very inexperienced developer, its my first attempts at a game other than modding or a console snake, so this is how i see it:
a: make it 2d where the platforms z order changes, and they simulate going around the central tower. the character can only jump or fall vertically, and its the map that moves with left right arrows.
b: make it a cylinder map in 3d space. the platforms are 2d sprites facing the camera with a circle flat collider platform under them. the character moves, locked onto following the outer shape of the tower (not fully sure how to do this part), and its the camera that follows and always centers him

which one is more logical or easier for a beginner to try? or is there a more obvious solution im not seeing?

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/ForsakenBountifulGoitered-small.gif

[unreal cairn]

I'd go for b

Just make the platforms a child of the cylinder

[desert cargo]

@fiery yarrow I think the easiest would be to do it with 2D objects but mapped onto a 3D cylinder

That way you're using the 3D transform logic of Unity, but you'll get the sprite ordering and correct positioning for free.

You'd move the cylinder left + right when you put your horizontal input in

And keep your character static I guess

tbh I think you'd have to have a play around to see how best to do the movement/camera change. I don't think you can rotate the camera if you're using 2D collisions (beacuse they all have to exist on the XY plane) but there's nothing wrong with rotating the world and its colliders through 3D space.

[fiery yarrow]

yepp thats kinda what i ended up doing. for the colliders, im just checking their distance on the Z axis from the camera, and turn them off if they are "behind" my cylinder

https://streamable.com/f3mivp

is broken when i go into a platform sideways and my movement script is yoinked from a Brackeys video, sort of fitted to my needs, but it's a start

i just need to make that inner tower thinner and then it will look like they are properly around it too. i really didnt care to make it look good yet :'>

and i am using 2d colliders here. they basically just ignore the Z axis

"It Works™️"

[desert cargo]

That looks great @fiery yarrow

Exactly what I was thinking.

[blissful tartan]

I like it

[brave creek]

https://hatebin.com/plkjiqjglf heyo, i've been trying to make it so my character gets thrown to the side when he activates 'dropAir', but for some reason it just doesn't do anything, while the console doesn't give me any errors (even in runtime) and the rest of the script works fine (i assume something wrong with line 35)

[upper void]

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private float speed = 12f;
    public Rigidbody2D rb;
    private GameplayInput inputActions;

    void Awake()
    {
        inputActions = new GameplayInput();
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    }

    private void OnEnable()
    {
        inputActions.Enable();
    }

    private void OnDisable()
    {
        inputActions.Disable();
    }
    
    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 moveInput = inputActions.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();
        rb.velocity = moveInput * speed;
    }
}

this is the movement script for my player character

i'm using the new input system

but, when i do local multiplayer, it either makes copies of itself and they move with eachother, or, it makes one character, and all controllers control it

i'm pretty sure it has to do with these two lines of code

inputActions = new GameplayInput();

Vector2 moveInput = inputActions.Player.Move.ReadValue<Vector2>();

i am completely new to the new input system, so other than that, I have no idea why this isnt working

[zinc bane]

Hey not 100% sure where to ask this but I've got a problem of a flicker or blur or something when my camera moves of the background image. Been looking around I'm sure people have run into this before just hard to put a name to the exact problem.

If anyone can help thanks a lot!

Hello, I´ve an issue with trying to export SVG files from illustrator to Unity 2019. The Unity package doesn´t seem to work properly so i used a another plugin named SVGImporter. It does work but i can´t seem to use thier components to code like you would with a sprite renderer. (sorry for the copy but i didnt knew in which channel to post it)

[frank summit]

i can't really see the problem there

[zinc bane]

It's the flickering of the ship sprite that just looks off.

You can see it best in the grates.

[ashen nova]

@brave creek is AmountPlayer and AmountPlayerRB suppose to be some kind of index into those Lists your keeping track of?

The Start function is an odd way of doing it you can just do this and don't need AmountPlayer:

        {
            PlayerScr.Add(s.GetComponent<Movement>());
            PlayerRB.Add(s.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>());
        }```
You already have a reference to the current player   s will index Player[0], then Player[1] , etc

And this code seems like it will skip some checks and eventually throw an index out of bounds exception after a while

        {
            if (coll.transform.name == Player[AmountPlayerRB].transform.name)
            {
                g.velocity = new Vector3(20 * Direction, g.velocity.y, 0);
                AmountPlayerRB++;
            }
        }```
It looks like AmountPlayerRB is starting out as the default  of 0.  But never being reset to anything.  so it will go bigger than your Player[] Length

It feels like your writing one script to collect every collision on every collider in your Scene. This is not the normal Unity way of doing things. You should make a script that just checks its own collider and attach it to each player

Then you don't have to make these big arrays and figure out which index of the collider just happneed

[still tendon]

hey im a beginner, can i get a simple movement script code?

cant figure it out

[lean estuary]

There are tutorials pinned in #💻┃code-beginner channel, they have examples. Also project examples.

[tropic inlet]

hey im a beginner, can i get a simple movement script code?
To what extent are you a beginner?

Are you a beginner at gamedev?
Or a beginner at programming?
Or both?

cuz gamedev and programming are two different things, although the former usually requires the latter

[prisma ocean]

Ello. I have a question: assuming I have a sprite and a UI panel, how would I set the panel to match the exact dimensions of the sprite on the screen?

[craggy kite]

What dimensions you are talking about? Pixel wise or just proportions?

[prisma ocean]

for example, if I right click on this (a gameobject)

then I want this panel to fit exactly around the object for any size sprite

[craggy kite]

Then you have to get the bounds of that sprite and put those on your selection sprite plus some padding if you want

[prisma ocean]

yes but how would I set the size of the panel correctly with those bounds?

[craggy kite]

You should checkout the documentation of the Unity UI components like recttransform and so on. https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/RectTransform-sizeDelta.html Checkout tutorials on how to access them by code.

[prisma ocean]

ty

        SpriteRenderer sprite = selection.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        Vector3 pos = cam.WorldToScreenPoint(sprite.transform.position);

        box.anchoredPosition = new Vector3(pos.x, pos.y, 0);
        box.sizeDelta = new Vector2(sprite.bounds.size.x, sprite.bounds.size.y);

Tried that but it doesn't seem to work

box is the panel's recttransform

[craggy kite]

Oh wait, you are mixing up UI and 3d space spriterenderer?

[prisma ocean]

Yes

I've just realized though

this needs to be an ingame sprite

don't want it moving with the camera lol

will probably make this a lot easier aswell xD

[craggy kite]

yeah, clean things up first conceptually, than we can continue here 😉

[prisma ocean]

I'm new to unity xD

[craggy kite]

Get into some tutorial series than first 😉 That will help you understand the basics of UI and stuff

[prisma ocean]

dw I am :p I just prefer to learn on the go

[craggy kite]

Yeah, common thing these days. Which will make you waste a lot of time if you find out the "right" way later and think, damn, I put all this work in this and there was just a button for it. 😄

[prisma ocean]

True, but if I don't figure things out myself then I have trouble remembering / learning

[craggy kite]

Oh for sure, you shouldnt just rebuild tutorials like, "How to make a game" thing, just like, how does the Unity UI System work, and then play around with it 🙂 good effort to learn it yourself tho, most people dont

Yeah, you did it! 🙂

[prisma ocean]

😄

added a little expand -contract animation for when you're close enough to interact with it

[craggy kite]

Nice, like your speed of solving it, such a rare thing 😉

[prisma ocean]

well

I just found out it didn't work

xD

[craggy kite]

Damn, why?

What did not work? 😄

[prisma ocean]

well it got the position alright

but that is actually just the default size of the box

[craggy kite]

Show the code 🙂

[prisma ocean]

well I changed it but this time the box is tiny rofl

box.size = sprite.size;

[craggy kite]

So is your box a spriterenderer or a UI element?

[prisma ocean]

spriterenderer

[craggy kite]

So both are spriterenderer? Did you debug.log the size of both after clicking ?

[prisma ocean]

I think I fixed it

box.size = new Vector2(sprite.size.x * trans.localScale.x, sprite.size.y * trans.localScale.y);

it's the right size now

yup it works now xDD

[craggy kite]

Perfect, why did I even care, you are able to do it yourself D

😄

[prisma ocean]

sorry rofl

[craggy kite]

Uhh I like the animation style of your little snippet, curious what you are workin on tbh!

[prisma ocean]

workin on a space game 😄

[craggy kite]

You having like a dev log /blog or whatever? Or just doing it privately?

[prisma ocean]

I actually haven't even looked into making a blog

how would I go about doing that

[craggy kite]

Nah, dont waste your time if you are not into it 😄 Usually people use like a free wordpress site to just post updates or youtube, but yeah, takes some time to do.

[prisma ocean]

ah

I mean I share a few snippets like that one on my instagram

but I don't share my social media stuff with the general public lol

time to work out crafting systems lol

[craggy kite]

Have fun and if you ever got on update, put it here too ! 😉

[prisma ocean]

will do 😄

[lusty tusk]

Hi can I have some help? I'm making a 2D game and I want to customize my character and I thinked I can change sprite renderer but I can't do that. Is there any way to do that or can I do it better?

[prisma ocean]

can you be more specific?

how do you want to customize it

[lusty tusk]

when you press a button it calls a function what changes the player's spriterenderer's sprite value to an another sprite(like from a red cube to a blue circle)

[plush coyote]

You can just swap out the sprite

change the spriteRenderer.sprite

you dont want to actually change the whole spriteRenderer component

[lusty tusk]

no I don't

and thanks

and I have to name the sprite yes?

[plush coyote]

// Drag all these in
[SerializeField] private Sprite _blueCircleSprite;
[SerializeField] private Sprite _redCubeSprite;
[SerializeField] private SpriteRenderer _spriteRenderer;

// Example
private void Start()
{
  // Switch to blueCircleSprite
  _spriteRenderer.sprite = _blueCircleSprite;
  // Switch to redCubeSprite
  _spriteRenderer.sprite = _redCubeSprite;
}

You can also GetComponent SpriteRenderer if you are doing that already

but yes, you have to have variables that contain the sprites you want

[lusty tusk]

thanks

And sorry if I can't speak english well but I'm hungarian

[lime zephyr]

I'm trying to right movement for my character in 2D, however when I try to write the "CharacterController2D" variable, nothing comes up to select and the script doesn't work.

[tall current]

@lime zephyr Maybe what you're looking for https://answers.unity.com/questions/1253636/the-type-or-namespace-name-charactercontroller2d-c.html

[lime zephyr]

thanks

Well now, the script won't recognize inputs. I'm following Brackey's tutorial on 2D movement and I have everything working with no errors, accept the left or right arrows don't output a -1 or 1 input. It's just a 0 all the time. Should I send the script?

[lusty tusk]

yes please

Maybe I can help

[lime zephyr]

Didn't know if I could send files or not

Is there a part of the code I'm missing?

[lusty tusk]

Ok

Sorry but I can't fix your code

but I can offer you this

you have to define speed

@lime zephyr

[tall current]

hmm from your current code, the horizontalMove shouldn't be 0

that is strange yeah...

you're sure you've printed out the value of horizontalMove?

[lime zephyr]

Yes I'll try that thank you

[lusty tusk]

BTW I think he has good tutorials https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFK6NCbuCIVzA6Yj1G_ZqCg

[still tendon]

i followed a script that makes the player jump and move around but the console is giving me an error

https://hastebin.com/eyeciguvox.csharp

[lime zephyr]

So, I tired changing the value of horizontalMove, but all that does is make my character fall over I still can't control the character

[lusty tusk]

maybe you're have a missing component

[lime zephyr]

I don't know I have the exact same code as the tutorial

[bold pier]

Sooo I have a bit problem in my script. Can you help me?

[lime zephyr]

Why did you say that you have an issue and not state the issue itself?

[bold pier]

To be short I want to make an animation on my text but in the skript wich I saw on tutorial and made it, I couldn't add animation.

[bold pier]

It was just my first time to asking questions in this server

[lime zephyr]

ok

[slate geyser]

I have a question, what would be the best way of having mobs drop multiple items in a style such as sonic getting hit and losing his rings. I know that I can instantiate the different items and apply rigidbodies to them, but not sure how that would effect the performance?

I'm talking about 5 items max per mob drop.

[plush coyote]

instantiation and rigidbody is probably fine if its only a few items

if theres lots of enemies + lots of items, you might want to look into object pooling

[slate geyser]

I'd say at max there would ever be 10 mobs around, but thats pushing it in terms of enemies. 5x10=50, 50 items being instantiated and rigged for physics.

That does seem like a high number, then again. this is the worst of the worst that could happen.

[plush coyote]

I would say its probably fine to do it the instantiate rigidbody way

If its ever an actual issue, like, if you stress test and it actually drops fps

then I would look into other solutions

[fallow pivot]

ive a wheeljoint2d and it's not really behaving how i'd expect it to

it just kinda moves wherever it want to

ive never worked with it before

i just want to make a skateboard D;

[fallow pivot]

ok this has mostly been fixed now

the skateboard is still really weird though

[leaden torrent]

I made a script inheriting from Tile and am creating assets from said script, but every time I change a sprite on one asset, it changes the sprite for all of them. Is this expected?

[leaden torrent]

...I'm an idiot and locked the inspector

[still tendon]

oof I was just about to answer your question lol

If needed make a duplicate for one short instance. Don't change the overall default sprite, if necessary you can duplicate and modify

[rotund burrow]

Can someone help me out im working on a 2 player pong game and im trynna make it so that player 1 uses w and s to move and player 2 uses the up and down arrow keys to move. The w and s keys work perfectly but when i use the arrow keys for some reason both the paddles move

[tropic inlet]

well

maybe has to do with how ur input settings are

are u using

Input.GetKey or

Input.GetAxis

[uncut sapphire]

Need some help. 2d game, using rigidbody2d to move a character on the screen. Using GetAxis and the magnitude between the x & y in order to get the facing direction. It works, but it takes like 2 seconds for the character sprite to actually turn. And, if I hold down the move button, it won't turn until I release it.

[tropic inlet]

uh

maybe show some code

are you getting your input in Update?

[uncut sapphire]

Yes

https://paste.ee/p/zc1PN

[rotund burrow]

Im using both

[rotund burrow]

i can show u my scripts

wait a sec

https://paste.ee/p/BsIM8

@tropic inlet

[craggy kite]

This is just moving the KeyCode or am I blind? @rotund burrow

Oh you are getting inputaxis vertical

Then check your input settings, I guess there as a standard binding for WS to feed vertical axis too

[uncut sapphire]

So, I fixed my other issues but having a new one now. When leaving an attacking animation, for a split second, unity displays the original front facing sprite from the sprite renderer before moving to the appropriate idle animation. Any clue on how to prevent this?

[crisp prism]

I can't find a UI scripting channel so going to post in here. I am in the midst of creating a mathematical serious game for a university project, however i want to display the Z-axis rotation of the "launcher" as text using TMP.

I am struggling to find what code to use for detecting the Z-axis rotation and converting it into a string, currently i have this;

[craggy kite]

You cant access myGameObject right when you declare the int RotationZ

[pseudo geyser]

Does trail render works on sprite and ui elements?

[crisp prism]

@craggy kite should i move it into a void then?

[craggy kite]

in the start for example

[crisp prism]

okay, thanks. Its now telling me to convert the float to int, but thanks for assisting

[craggy kite]

Ah yeah, you could typecast or just make it float, which makes more sense for a rotation

[crisp prism]

it would usually be fine as a float, however since im making a mathematical game, which is angle-based for this mission. Having the correct angle being full number will help a lot when creating the maths questions that players need to work out

[craggy kite]

Ah got it, yeah, then you can typecast or convert to int / round it

[prisma ocean]

so I set the size of a sprite to the size of another sprite and it's bigger lol:

(dotted line)

works with other things like this container

ah fixed it, was a problem with my maths lol

was multiplying the buffer with the scale aswell lol

[craggy kite]

Hey again 😄

gerat you fixed it already

Seems like Untiy cannot detect the collisions of the object I'm dragging with the mouse is that right?

[summer hornet]

are there any 2d scripting tutorials out there that arent just like "put in this charactercontroller lol"

[prisma ocean]

@pseudo geyser are you setting the object's position to the mouse's position?

[pseudo geyser]

you mean the one I drag?

[prisma ocean]

yes

[pseudo geyser]

I use public void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData) { dragRectTransform.SetAsLastSibling(); }

ah don't know that

[pseudo geyser]

wait I passed wrong code

    {
        dragRectTransform.anchoredPosition += eventData.delta / canvas.scaleFactor;

this is the one that changes the Transform

[keen locust]

hi anyone know how to create an inventory system using sprite?

[spring ledge]

Thats a... broad question

[pseudo geyser]

I'm having issue on reproducing basic 2D collision between a moving object and a wall, both have a Boxcollider2D, the moving object have also Rigidbody and "OnCollisionEnter" in script

what am I missing?

[fickle prairie]

@pseudo geyser use OnCollisionEnter2D

[fickle prairie]

Your wall will also need a rigidbody2d - if you don't want it to move, set the body type to static

[pseudo geyser]

Thanks for the tip buddy but after trying too many times with 2D physics I switch to 3D one

[fickle prairie]

Hey whatever works for you!

[brave creek]

https://hatebin.com/ijnuwpwwqf heyo, i've been trying to make it so my character gets thrown to the side when he activates 'dropAir', but for some reason it just doesn't do anything, while the console doesn't give me any errors (even in runtime) and the rest of the script works fine (i assume something wrong with line 35)

[fickle prairie]

I think it's the way you're checking equivalency - can you set a breakpoint and make sure it goes in to the if block on line 33-37?

Does coll.transform.name == Player[AmountPlayerRB].transform.name ever equal true?

[brave creek]

yeah it does equal true at times, since line 41 works fine

[fickle prairie]

And direction is not 0?

[brave creek]

yeah it's either -1 or 1, depending on which ramp

[fickle prairie]

The way you're indexing these arrays looks off. On line 33 you're using AmountPlayerRB, but in 23-25 you're using AmountPlayer. Why have two separate variables? Will there ever be a player without a rigidbody? Shouldn't those two values always be the same?

[brave creek]

AmountPlayer is for the Awake function, while RB is for the foreach on line 33

i've tried it before but if i recall correctly it didn't work well

[fickle prairie]

Because your foreach loop is not correlated with the actual Player index you are using

A practice that has helped me is getting a piece of paper and trying to simulate your own code - what kind of values will be in AmountPlayerRB? even though you said line 41 works, you are not checking the same thing on line 42 as you are on line 33

[brave creek]

yeah, that could probably help, but i've tried currently all the other foreach's and they all work like they should at least, except the problematic one offcourse

[fickle prairie]

so what's the difference between them?

if one works and another doesn't, the difference between the two is where to look

if (coll.transform.name == Player[AmountPlayerRB].transform.name) is different from if (coll.transform.name == s.transform.name)

what value are you expecting to be in AmountPlayerRB?

[brave creek]

the difference i assume could have to do with Rigidbody g, and replacing it with GameObject s for example

generally 1-4 are the expected values for AmountPlayerRB, which is currently correct

[fickle prairie]

So let me ask - why loop through all your players each time any of them collides with something? Doesn't coll have information about the individual player that collided"?

[brave creek]

yeah, i have no real idea why i did that, i was i assume just very tired at the moment, but this could really help for optimization yeah

[fickle prairie]

try coll.GetComponent<RigidBody2D>().velocity = ....

might want to make sure it's a player first

but you get the idea

[brave creek]

yeah, thanks!

[fickle prairie]

Happy to help 🙂

[brave creek]

also thanks for not just spoonfeeding code, like some others do, and instead let the coder try to solve the problem, albeit with some help!

[fickle prairie]

Good luck! I'd suggest doing some dedicated C# programming classes, it will take time but will make things much easier moving forward.

[brave creek]

yeah, i've tried some, but not in all that advanced categories, so i'll try that.

[buoyant nebula]

How can I check if the x position is currently decreasing?

[woeful temple]

u can get the previous x position and compare it with the new one by minusing it

like

float xDelta;

void Update()
{
  if(transform.position.x - xDelta < 0)
    //X is decreasing

   xDelta = transform.position.x;
}

[buoyant nebula]

hmmm, how would i make it a bool though?

[woeful temple]

set the bool to this line transform.position.x - xDelta < 0

[buoyant nebula]

i dont think i understand...

wait...

hm yeah it isnt working...

public bool goingLeft = false;
public float xDelta;
if (transform.position.x - xDelta < 0)
        {
            xDelta = transform.position.x;
            goingLeft = true;
        } else
        {
            goingLeft = false;
        }

[woeful temple]

its simple just make a float called xDelta or smth den subtract it from ur x pos den dats how much u moved it the last frame then sent xDelta to the x pos after ur check

dont put it inside

put it out side of the if statement

after the if statement

[buoyant nebula]

public bool goingLeft = false;
public float xDelta;
if (transform.position.x - xDelta < 0)
{
       xDelta = transform.position.x;
} else
{
       goingLeft = false;
}
goingLeft = true;

like that?

[woeful temple]

no the xDelta

the going left can stay inside

just put ur xDelta line outside

also flip the if

xDelta - transform.position.x < 0f

public bool goingLeft = false;
public float xDelta;
if (xDelta - transform.position.x < 0)
{
        goingLeft = true;
} else
{
       goingLeft = false;
}
xDelta = transform.position.x;

der now it should work

are u using any input from the player? like the player can use wasd?

[buoyant nebula]

yes

[woeful temple]

den i think u can just use Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal") < 0f

no need for the float delta

[woeful temple]

u can use dis if u move without wasd

[buoyant nebula]

give me a moment

[woeful temple]

ok

[buoyant nebula]

WOO!

it worked!

thank you gamer!

[north geyser]

heyo, I need some help regarding some basic movment that involve running/crouching in 2D unity

for context: I finished making the character run left and right no problem, and made the animation follow along.

but each time I press down to crouch, it takes about 1 second approx to be able to move again, the animation works, but not the velocity

[civic knot]

@north geyser share some code and we might figure it out.

[pseudo geyser]

I need help with 2DBoxCast

I'm setting the parameters but I have issue with results

does it need an array of RaycastHit2D to put values in?

the documentarion is really poor

[tropic inlet]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.BoxCast.html

the documentarion says it only returns one RaycastHit2D

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Physics2D.BoxCastAll.html
but this version returns an array of RaycastHit2D^

two different versions

BoxCast, and BoxCastAll

[pearl patio]

Can someone help me with this ?
I made a pointer that follow the mouse position, it's a sprite renderer that goes at Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition).
I move the camera with cinemachine, and the main camera has the pixel perfect component. It follows the white circle that move with the velocity of its ridgibody.
But I don't know why, the pointer moves a bit when the mouse doesn't move but the camera does. I tried multiples things but none of them worked.
Anyone has an idea to help me ?

the white circle seems to have the same problem too

actually I can fix the circle problem easily, but it doesn't fix the pointer problem

[spring ledge]

Where are you moving the cursor

[tidal hull]

hey

I need simple character control code

which has

jumping

walking side-to-side

uh

can anyone here yelp me with those

i don't know C# much for making game in Unity

🥲

[lean estuary]

@tidal hull Please don't spam the channel. There are tutorials pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

[tidal hull]

okay Thanks :D

[river surge]

Hello, there are a few tutorials in youtube

[pearl patio]

I almost don't move it in the video,
Basicly when it move a bit and get back to it's position is where it bug
But more precisly I'm moving it a bit at the middle of the video and at the end

[pastel flax]

Is there any way to drag and drop material from sprite renderer? Script is able to get it from code but I can't drag and drop it. My object is made from multiple children objects so I want to have all of them in one list, group or something like that.

material = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().material;

[still tendon]

did you try making it a material first?

[pastel flax]

I have material but when I click it I'm unable to grab it. Code is able to grab it but I have multiple children objects so I'm looking for way how to solve it. I could duplicate material few times and work on duplicated material but I'm pretty sure that's bad idea

[spring ledge]

I meant in code, where do you set its position

[pearl patio]

ooh

In a late update

[spring ledge]

hm

[pearl patio]

changing it to fixed update or a normal update doesn't change anything

I also tried to change the script execution order to play after the cinemachine script but it didn't work

[upper wedge]

I have a sprite that I scaled down to 0.23 X and Y, when I play the animation it puts the sprite back to 1 X and Y, how to keep it the same scale?

[fervent ermine]

how do i rotate an object with code? quaternions are weird and i dont know how they work

[pearl patio]

to rotate an object you just type transform.rotation = new Quaternion(x, y, z, w);
put w to 0, it won't change anything in 2D, or at least it never for me so it should be the same to you

[ruby karma]

transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(x,y,z)``` 
is easier. Consider x,y,z the numbers you put into the editor

[pearl patio]

in the animation you have to delete the scale propriety

[fervent ermine]

its giving me an error when i tried the euler thing

oh nvm im dumb

i still have new at the begining

YES

it works

thx

[upper wedge]

I dont have the scale property in my animation

[pearl patio]

oh

that's weird

[upper wedge]

Could I add the scale property and set it to 0.23?

[pearl patio]

you could but that's not recommended, like if you do that you won't be ever able to change the scale of your player since the animation put it constantly at 0.23

but hum, can you screen shot your screen ? Maybe I can see something else that change the scale of your gameobject

[upper wedge]

void Update()
    {
        anim.SetBool("Grounded", grounded);
        anim.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")));

        //move left
        if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < -0.1f)
        {
            transform.localScale = new Vector3(-1, 1, 1);
        }
        
        //move right
        if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0.1f)
        {
            transform.localScale = new Vector3(1, 1, 1);
        }
}

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        //left/right movement
        float h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        //moves player when movement keys pressed
        rb2d.AddForce((Vector2.right * speed) * h);

        //limits the players speed
        if (rb2d.velocity.x > maxSpeed)
        {
            rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(maxSpeed, rb2d.velocity.y);
        }

        if (rb2d.velocity.x < -maxSpeed)
        {
            rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(maxSpeed, rb2d.velocity.y);
        }
    }

That's about it

[pearl patio]

well

you are changing the scale in the update

[upper wedge]

I see it now

[pearl patio]

so what you can do is

[upper wedge]

Is that the (-1, 1, 1)?

[pearl patio]

yes

[upper wedge]

I got it, thank you, I also have another weird error that when I move right it's smooth but when I move left it is glitchy

[pearl patio]

private SpriteRenderer sprite;

void Start(){
sprite = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>(); // or GetComponentInParent<SpriteRenderer>() if the sprite is in the parent gameObject / GetComponentInChildren<SpriteRenderer>() if the sprite is in child
}

        anim.SetBool("Grounded", grounded);
        anim.SetFloat("Speed", Mathf.Abs(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")));

        //move left
        if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") < -0.1f)
        {
            sprite.flipX = true;
        }
        
        //move right
        if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0.1f)
        {
            sprite.flipX = false;

        }

you can do this

to flip the sprite

and to move the sprite you should use

 rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxis("Vertical")) * speed;

velocity is better for movement than addforce
