wooden acorn Dec 7, 2020, 7:42 AM

#

how can i get the speed of my rigidbody?
rb.velocity.magnitude is always returning zero

#

i'm moving my player using MovePosition in FixedUpdate

rocky vault Dec 7, 2020, 7:44 AM

#

float rbSpeed = rb.velocity

#

maybe

#

@wooden acorn

wooden acorn Dec 7, 2020, 7:46 AM

#

well velocity is Vector2

#

but i debugged it and it was 0,0

rocky vault Dec 7, 2020, 7:47 AM

#

so float rbSpeed = rb.velocity.x

#

@wooden acorn

#

or Vecotr2 rbSpeed = rb.velocity

wooden acorn Dec 7, 2020, 7:48 AM

#

it returns zero, even when the player is moving

rocky vault Dec 7, 2020, 7:49 AM

#

@wooden acorn so you will not using Rigidbody.velocity

#

might using transform.position +=

#

You have to use rigidbody.velocity

Hi! New on c# If some one can help please tag me. Thank you. So how can I make a tile map that works like in the animation below? Its like if the player passes between the walls they show up but if he hits the walls he respawns but remembers where the walls are.

void Update()
    {
        radius =  planet.GetComponent<CircleCollider2D>().radius;
        distance = Vector2.Distance(rocket.transform.position, planet.transform.position);
        hightReadout.text = System.Math.Round(distance / 1000, 2) + "km";
    }

this will only return 0.64 as a radius which is very wrong

#

its applied to a large object that's has a scale of 1500 on x and y but the script needs to be variable for objects of other size too

umbral bane Dec 7, 2020, 9:44 PM

#

yeah nvm on my question, i got everything under control

rough kite Dec 7, 2020, 9:49 PM

#

well i figured out what my issue was but i dont know how to fix it so the script works with every size object. basically scalling factor changes the size of the collider but not the value that represents said size so it takes the radius * scalefactor to get the in game size

#

i figured it out i just got the scale from (gameobject).transfrom.localScale.x since its a circle x and y are the same

#

slate epoch Anyone knows how can I control this rotation with the mouse, I don't understand ...

i would assume linking your mouse to rotatespeed?

#

maybe by storing two mouse locations, one before a fixeddeltatime, and one which is the present

#

then subtracting them

#

then using the magnitude as the speed your mouse moved?

#

something like this

#

    Vector2 lastPos;

    float MouseSpeed
    {
        get
        {
            Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
            mousePos.z = -10;
            Vector2 pos = Camera.ScreenToWorldPoint(mousePos);
            float val = (lastPos - pos).magnitude;
            lastPos = pos;

            return val;
        }
    }```

Hello. I am a total beginner in game dev, so I was using a tutorial to make top down 8 direction movement, but for some reason MonoBehaviour doesn't work in my script or smth. I assume it's because of MonoBehaviour. It doesn't read some commands (like moveSpeed or rigidbody) or I assume it doesn't read them because their colours don't change. Anyone can help me? I have no idea if it's actually because of monobehaviour or maybe something else, however my script looks like this:

when the guy on the tutorial has it like this:

also, when I put in commands I don't have any of these:

rb2d.velocity.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // doesn't move
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // move

first time user here, trying to move stuff, why velocity.Set doesn't work?

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:17 AM

#

@idle heron Vector2 is a struct. They are value types, and velocity gets basically copy of values.

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

so?

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:19 AM

#

Set changes values on the copied Vector2 by value

#

you can get an intermediate Vector2 set it then assign back as a whole

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

UnityChanConfused

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:21 AM

#

myVelocity.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); 
rb2d.velocity = myVelocity;```

crude matrix Dec 9, 2020, 2:22 AM

#

Also, you don't need myVelocity = rb2d.velocity, you can just initialize it to any other vector, like Vector2.zero

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:23 AM

#

yes, this makes sense only when you want to additionally manipulate/use those values, not just set them.

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:25 AM

#

📎 unknown.png

#

🩲

#

i mean, rb2d.velocity is also an existing Vector2 so why can't I set it directly?

#

UnityChanSorry

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:26 AM

#

Because it's a property of a struct

#

And structs are not passed by reference

#

Rather by value

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:27 AM

#

It does not get a reference to the Vector2 (velocity) to be changed, because structs only give their value not the object itself

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

So when you call someVariable.SomeProperty it returns a copy of the struct rather than the reference.

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:28 AM

#

I'm full aware of the difference of value and reference, just don't see how is that the case in here

#

UnityChanSorry

#

ok gotta you

#

what the hell dude, managed language is so confusing then

crude matrix Dec 9, 2020, 2:29 AM

#

why does myVelocity.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); work in the example Fogsight posted above?

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:30 AM

#

myVelocity there is a local variable, that is present there, you can manipulate it.

#

while .velocity is not there at all, just its value

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

wait wait wait

rb2d.velocity.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // doesn't move
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // move

in that case isn't the second line the exact same? you are only assigning the new Vector to "someVariable.SomeProperty it returns a copy"

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:32 AM

#

Vector2 myVelocity is a local copy and we're modifying it whereas the dot velocity property will return a copy of velocity, which likely isn't what you want to modify.

#

If it was a field then the behavior would result in your/many's expectations.

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

It's the same difference when you are trying to change rb2d.velocity.x separately.

crude matrix Dec 9, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

I think it's because of the new keyword Onigumo

lean estuary Dec 9, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

You need to either construct new struct or create a local struct to change its values and reassign.

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:34 AM

#

It's the assignment operation rather than method operation

#

How you should perceive this: ```cs
//If velcity was a field
var copy = rb2d.velocity;
copy.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // doesn't move
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // move

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:37 AM

#

yeah... I get how it works now and probably can just move on, but it just bugs me when I trying to think about how does it work under the hood

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:38 AM

#

vocal condor How you should perceive this: ```cs //If velcity was a field var copy = rb2d.vel...

especially if you put it that way

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:39 AM

#

Property would be prefer over direct access of fields in cases where polymorphism may occur; since they are basically getter and setter functions pointing to some local field..

#

Where override can be used on functions and properties but not fields.

#

The override modifier is required to extend or modify the abstract or virtual implementation of an inherited method, property, indexer, or event.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/override

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:44 AM

#

so the second line equals

Vector2 vec = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0);
rb2d.velocity = vec;

is that correct?

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:46 AM

#

That should be fine, yes.

#

Difference would be you having a extra copy of vec sitting around till memory is freed; little to no performance impact.

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:47 AM

#

ok now here is the part i don't get because then in that case it's like

var copy = rb2d.velocity;
Vector2 vec = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0);
copy = vec;

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:48 AM

#

It's a tad bit different from what fogsight posted: ```cs
Vector2 myVelocity = rb2d.velocity;
myVelocity.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0);
rb2d.velocity = myVelocity;

#

You'll want to reassign the Vector2 to the velocity property; our original intentions.

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

yes but you guys said that's only a copy

var copy = rb2d.velocity;
copy.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); // doesn't move

then no matter what i assign to it, it shouldn't affect the object at all

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

It would be the same as: ```cs
Vector2 myVelocity = rb2d.velocity;//Copy our velocity so we can manipulate it.
myVelocity.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
myVelocity.y = 0;
rb2d.velocity = myVelocity;

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

i'm so sorry

#

UnityChanSorry

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:50 AM

#

You need to assign the copy back to the velocity property.

#

var copy = rb2d.velocity;
copy.Set(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0); //Modify the copy of velocity
rb2d.velocity = copy;//Update our velocity

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:51 AM

#

ok so you're saying "Set" is not assigning anything

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

It's modifying a copy; yes it doesn't do anything to Rigidbody2d's velocity.

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:52 AM

#

Adam

#

so all of our conversation ended up like this

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:54 AM

#

Since you're just setting the velocity without regards to the previous values, you could just assign it directly; disregarding/not-caching the previous values: ```cs
rb2d.velocity = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 0);

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 2:55 AM

#

then what's the point of these setters UnityChanShocked

#

UnityChanSerious

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:56 AM

#

You would do the three part operation when you'd want to keep a particular component of the velocity: ```cs
//velocity before is { 1, 2 }
var velocity = rb2d.velocity;
velocity.x = input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
rb2d.velocity = velocity;
//velocity after is { input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), 2 }

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 2:58 AM

#

idle heron then what's the point of these setters <:UnityChanShocked:531995426912469003>

Like the usage of functions getters and setters: mainly but not limited to differentiating access restrictions and polymorphism (inheritance with parents and interfaces)

#

Goes into OOP which may be beyond the use case of what you necessarily need but likely usefully for the game engine; never know what fields will be changed (behavior wise).

idle heron Dec 9, 2020, 3:00 AM

#

UnityChanThink

#

ok thanks, you guys are awesome

vocal condor Dec 9, 2020, 3:09 AM

#

idle heron then what's the point of these setters <:UnityChanShocked:531995426912469003>

Ah, didn't cross my mind at the moment that you may have been referring to the Vector2 struct rather than the property behavior. It's a function of Vector2 and does what's implied. It isn't related to the access of the property as a method but the Vector2 struct and is working as intended. It's just unfortunate that it's modifying the copy-velocity's components rather than RigidBody2d-velocity's components.

oh, sorry

#

its not sliding down and its just sticking and when i click jump it boosts you in the y axis but has no visible impact on the x axis even if i crank up the numbers a lot

mystic wren Dec 9, 2020, 6:11 AM

#

Any ideas on what to do?

tall current Dec 9, 2020, 7:50 AM

#

@mystic wren Did you set the friction of the rigidbody to 0?

#

if you don't then it'll just stick to the wall when moving towards it

mystic wren Dec 9, 2020, 7:55 AM

#

@tall current that fixed the sliding issue. thank you so much

#

any idea on the wall jumping issue

tall current Dec 9, 2020, 7:56 AM

#

is it when you're jumping while "running" towards the wall, and it doesn't change your x axis, only y?

#

tldr; it goes up, but not right or left

mystic wren Dec 9, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

yeah but when looking at the rigidbody info it shows a breif moment of velocity on the x axis

tall current Dec 9, 2020, 7:57 AM

#

right, so, I've had to tackle this problem before

mystic wren Dec 9, 2020, 7:58 AM

#

how did you fix it?

tall current Dec 9, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

I believe what is happening is that, as you can see in your script:
FixedUpdate handles horizontal movement.
Vector2 movement = new Vector2(mx * movementSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
this changes your horizontal movement, as you know.
The problem is, that when you're walljumping, this pretty much instantly overrides any other forces, the reason for your Y axis being correct is because you're setting it to rb.velocity.y, but the X is set to the input * movementSpeed.
When walljumping on a wall to the right of you, input = 1. Therefore the code above moves into wall instantly after jumping.

#

tl;dr
The horizontal movement instantly overrides the walljump movement.

mystic wren Dec 9, 2020, 8:03 AM

#

any way on how to fix that?

tall current Dec 9, 2020, 8:05 AM

#

plenty of ways to fix it, yeah.
Can you think of anything that'd work?

#

The easiest thing would be to just use the same size/pivot as the character and create the 8 directions. Then you simply overlay it on top of your character.

That would also allow you to control how different guns look in the different directions.

delicate flicker Dec 9, 2020, 8:51 PM

#

So I am using free assets, should I like change the canvas sizes of the gun assets im using?

#

and so move the gun left/up/down/right in the asset?

#

also is using still animations and a blend tree a good way of rotating the gun? or maybe a better method?

abstract olive Dec 9, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

You usually don't want to use blend trees with snappy 2D art, because there's nothing to blend.

delicate flicker Dec 9, 2020, 8:55 PM

#

I used blend trees, as when I calculate angle of mouse from x-axis I can switch the directions easily

#

and I dont know a betetr way to do it, how would you recommend?

abstract olive Dec 9, 2020, 8:56 PM

#

Right, well if that's working for you, then keep at it.

#

As for the gun, you can just give it it's own animator, and just manually position it with each animation?

#

Using free assets is going to be a challenge though, but that's the cost of it. 🤷‍♂️

delicate flicker Dec 9, 2020, 8:57 PM

#

Yeah this is for a small project and Unity has a learning curve for me lol

#

Ill try messing with the canvas, dont want to spend too long on small graphical stuff until most the structure of the game is built

Hi, I've been trying to do this for a while now so if anybody could help I would be thankful. My situation is I want to change the opacity of a tilemap when a player walks into it, I've got it working with the sprite renderer but not for the tilemap. I want to be able to change the color of the entire tilemap at once as well. Any Thoughts on how to do this?

plush coyote Dec 10, 2020, 11:42 AM

#

doesn't the tilemap component just have a color property??

#

@light silo

#

as for knowing if you are on the tilemap, you can probably just check if the player's position (rounded to a grid position) has a tile that isn't null

#

using GetTile

light silo Dec 10, 2020, 12:16 PM

#

The tilemap component does have a color property and that’s my issue, I can’t change that in the script. Also sorry I’m very new to this so I don’t quite understand everything @plush coyote#9329.

Is it overlapbox meant to not interact with colliders that have isTrigger = true

abstract olive Dec 10, 2020, 3:43 PM

#

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

The last parameter defines if triggers are considered. By default, it ignores triggers.

tropic hollow Dec 10, 2020, 3:52 PM

#

Okay, seems like it worked. Before it would not count any collider that had isTrigger = true as a hit

Anyone know how to make a bullet destroy itself after it impacts something else? @ me

abstract olive Dec 11, 2020, 5:31 AM

#

Assuming you're moving it with a rigidbody, stick a collider on it and a simple collision check:

void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D col)
{
    Destroy (gameObject);
}

#

Of course, eventually you'll want to consider object pooling the bullets for performance reasons, but the above is as simple as you can make it.

Idk if this belongs here, but I have some objects with box collider 2Ds in a canvas, and I'm trying to make them draggable but it's not working

idk if i set it up wrong but it's not debugging that drag message nor doing anything at all which leads me to believe that it's not recognizing the mouse dragging it?

hey guys, when i move horizontally my character sometimes get stuck between platform and ground tilemap collider. platform uses Box Collider 2D and the ground uses Tilemap Collider 2D. any ideas how to fix this?

I tried combining Box Collider and Edge collider on character which almost worked, but new issues came to light where the Edge collider would go inside the Tilemap Collider causing moer issues than before. help is much appreciated!

still tendon Dec 11, 2020, 4:03 PM

Anyone know why this is not working. Whats suppoded to happen is when the bullet hits an object it will get destroyed

#

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

public class BulletScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    void OnCollision2D(Collision other)
    {
        Debug.Log("Collided");
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }
}

It's a good idea to be more descriptive.
@still tendon

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

craggy kite Dec 11, 2020, 4:12 PM

#

what is not working

tropic inlet Dec 11, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

If I was having your error, what I would have said is:
"I defined a function called void OnCollision2D(Collision other). I expected this function to be automatically called whenever the gameobject collides with anything; however, the function never seems to get triggered—nothing from it gets printed to the console and the bullet continues to exist upon colliding with other objects. Does anyone know why?"

This means less guessing

i want this to return the collision2d contact normals every frame, this script works sometimes but its very inconsistent. any ideas why?

📎 unknown.png

vocal condor Dec 12, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

You aren't returning anything per frame but if you're asking about updating value per frame, it is. Unfortunately physics frame (I'm assuming that's where collision info is being updated) isn't sync 1:1 with the standard update frame; hence why you might possibly be having undefined behaviors.

wide ridge Dec 12, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

so i should use OnUpdate instead, or doesnt it matter?

vocal condor Dec 12, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

Doesn't matter (I'm assuming you're using new input system).

#

On_ aren't the same as without the On.

I'm assuming you're sending messages with new input system.

craggy kite Dec 14, 2020, 4:37 PM

Particles that collide and mobile are not the best friends @still tendon

You can still call particles to work with collisions, if you haven't checked that. That way it can collide with your player and itself

Hi, So I want to make a wave system. I did it but it's not infinite (What I want to). So I want to know how to make it infinite, and adding more enemies every wave .
Here's the code https://paste.pythondiscord.com/anematebew.csharp.
It's long so I put it here.

craggy kite Dec 14, 2020, 8:41 PM

#

You will have to make up some algorithm that just multiplies on and on. @slate epoch more of a logic thing than an actual problem. You can check other games on how they do it, just observe some time in the game or google for mechanics on that game. There are different approaches, but in the end, its some kind of simple math to keep the user in the infinite task loop 😉

Hello, I'm having an issue where a player character is recognizing a collider, but if I issue a diagonal input, the player will step into the collider and get stuck. The character is using a capsule collider and the wall is using a box collider.

robust ivy Dec 15, 2020, 3:26 AM

maybe you need to use continuous collision instead of discrete, i think its on the rigidbody

when i use my transform.LookAt code, my gamobject decides to disappear, how can i fix this

tropic inlet Dec 15, 2020, 7:24 AM

#

yea, that's the thing with 2d

#

u gotta watch out when u use transform.LookAt

#

One thing u could possibly try is use

#

Quaternion.LookRotation(...).eulerAngles and zero out unnecessary axes (you only rly need the Z rotation for typical 2D, as far as I've seen)

#

or, uh, even easier,

#

just directly assign to either transform.right or transform.up

#

GameObject a;
GameObject b;
a.transform.right = b.transform.position - a.transform.position; //a's right should now be facing b
//formula for a direction vector from point A to point B in general is
//(B - A).normalized
//But, in this case, normalizing doesn't seem to be necessary

craggy kite Dec 15, 2020, 9:30 AM

#

@wanton laurel Disappear you mean it rotates around, right? You should specify on what axis it should rotate then, so it will not rotate around the Y axis.

hey, I am trying to make a cube that can be cloned and the clone can be picked up but the problem is that when I change the box collider on the new cube it does it on the original. this is because I have the original cubes box collider linked. I think the problem is using this line instead of something else to detect the BoxCollider2D of the object in-front of it: public BoxCollider2D boxCollider any suggestions on what to do? if needed I can post the code

split walrus Dec 15, 2020, 8:11 PM

#

@mystic wren don't quite understand the issue, you have GameObject with a script and collider and you clone it ? and the script in the clone references the collider in the first object ?

mystic wren Dec 15, 2020, 8:15 PM

#

@split walrus Let me try this from the top so I can try to explain better. I have 2 objects. Object 1 is the player, object 2 is a cube. When I pick up the cube using the player I want to set it’s collider to disable. And to be held in the players hand. The problem is that when I clone the cube which would create a 3rd object, when I pick it up, it makes the original cube have no collider and not the new one. Does that make any sense?

split walrus Dec 15, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

you do all this logic from script attached to player ?

mystic wren Dec 15, 2020, 8:17 PM

#

the cloning script is attached to the cube

split walrus Dec 15, 2020, 8:19 PM

and the collider disabling ? I feel like you reference 1st cube and when you instanciate 2nd you should newCube.GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>() to get reference to new one

@low blade You'll need to design some branching path logic into your waypoint system but without knowing the context of the waypoint script it's tricky to help

#

One example you'll need to change is your waypointIndex int for discerning the next waypoint, you could instead have a component on each waypoint that knows what the next waypoint is, then instead of using the index you just use the nextwaypoint value of the current waypoint

#

Then you could give each a LeftWaypoint and RightWaypoint

#

And if the left/right waypoints aren't null then potentially use them instead of nextwaypoint but you'll need a way to input whether to use forward/left/right

split walrus Dec 15, 2020, 8:31 PM

@mystic wren if (hit.collider != null && hit.collider.tag == "grabbable") { grabbed = true; boxCollider = (BoxCollider2D) hit.collider; boxCollider.enabled = false; }
where you raycast and get back collider .. set your collider reference to that collider that you get from raycast it should be correct cube

as for trigger stuff here:
you need any 2D collider on your CUBE and rigidbody2D

#

then you'll need collider2D on your button

#

and check the Is Trigger checkbox

#

and script attached to button :

public class PressurePlate : MonoBehaviour
{

    public Sprite spriteA;
    public Sprite spriteB;

    void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider other)
    {

    }

    void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider other)
    {
        spriteRenderer.sprite = spriteB;
    }
}```

#

on triggerenter will fire once when cube's colider enters button's collider .. when collider is market as Trigger it allows other colliders go trough it it just sents notification to scripts attached to same game object

Is there any good tutorial on how Canvas works? I'm setting a child GameObject's transform.position in code and it seems to multiply the resulting position by some unknown factor

#

the gameObject has a bunch of RectTransforms within it

desert cargo Dec 16, 2020, 7:47 AM

#

@main narwhal I don't know about tutorials, but RectTransform has helpers for positioning in the context of a Canvas: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/RectTransform.html

main narwhal Dec 16, 2020, 7:47 AM

#

yeah I figured it out eventually

#

Basically if you want to position canvas elements on a canvas you just need to give it a rect transform because I have no clue what relation normal transform.position has

#

to canvas position

desert cargo Dec 16, 2020, 7:48 AM

#

Yeah, it's pretty opaque

#

I try extremely hard to not write any code that interacts with canvas layouts

main narwhal Dec 16, 2020, 7:48 AM

#

How do you do UI then?

desert cargo Dec 16, 2020, 7:48 AM

how can i rotate something towards something else but only on the Z axis

desert cargo Dec 16, 2020, 7:59 AM

#

Hm, that's actually kind of tricky. Looks like sometihng like this might help

#

https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/a/139519/10335

Game Development Stack Exchange

LookRotation() make X axis face the target instead of Z

I use LookRotation() in order for an object to look at another, but since I'm using 2D I would like to make the axis looking/facing the target to be X instead of Z. I have the code below currently:

#

static Quaternion XLookRotation2D(Vector3 right)
{
    Quaternion rightToUp = Quaternion.Euler(0f, 0f, 90f);
    Quaternion upToTarget = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.forward, right);

    return upToTarget * rightToUp;
}

#

Then you can just do the rotation in the normal way

#

var direction = target.position - transform.position;
transform.rotation = XLookRotation2D(direction);

#

Is that what you mean by "rotate towards"?

wanton laurel Dec 16, 2020, 8:01 AM

#

like LookAt but only for the z axis

desert cargo Dec 16, 2020, 8:02 AM

#

Yeah, that'll do it.

#

I mean, you can always just set transform.right

#

var direction = target.position - transform.position;
transform.right = direction;

#

That should work

#

Might get weird when you're looking up though, I'm not sure.

#

I think the first solution will be more robust (assuming that stackexchange answer was correct)

For example, holding shift will turn a stair tile into a slope. But still ensure that either the stair or slope behave the same way with respect to all the other rules setup in the rule tile.

I was thinking a similar interface to the rule override, where you basically behave alternate sprites in an array you could cycle through.

#

Not sure if there is already something that exists in the package or if I'll have to do something custom.

hey guys

#

so i'm currently making a board game

#

so i added some like penalty on the slot

#

how can i do a check to see if the character has landed on that spot or going to the slot above that spot

#

so you know not activate that penalty

craggy kite Dec 16, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

Did you try just making a simple collision check?

low blade Dec 16, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

yes

#

OnTriggerEnter2d and everything

#

maybe i should use a timer?

#

or OnTriggerExit?

craggy kite Dec 16, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Maybe show your code, so we know what yo are doin

low blade Dec 16, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

yea

#

    {
        if (col.CompareTag("Trigger1"))
        {
            QuestionPanel.SetActive(true);
            Debug.Log("Trigger");
        }

craggy kite Dec 16, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Did you debug.log the comparetag, does it Trigger?

low blade Dec 16, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

yes

craggy kite Dec 16, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

So what are you struggling with? 😉

low blade Dec 16, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

it activate the panel great

#

but

#

when the character go above(or to a different spot) is still showed the panel

#

if you roll a six but the slot is 5 its sill show the panel regardless

fast phoenix Dec 16, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

add else what disables the panel

craggy kite Dec 16, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

OnTriggerExit2D then? @low blade

fast phoenix Dec 16, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

also you should use codeblocks instead: ```cs
code
```

low blade Dec 16, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

but it still show the flash of the panel and then dissapear

#

i want it to be nothing at all

I can't seem to get the Animation component to work for sprite animation.

I have player_anim_idle.anim, which I created via stringing together a series of sprites in the animation time line window (the one you open by pressing CTRL + 6).

Then I have a GameObject with a:
> SpriteRenderer component (with the "Sprite" field set to some sprite called idle_0)
> Animation component (and the "Animation" field is set to player_anim_idle.anim)

For the animation component, "Play Automatically" is checked.
But during gameplay, the animation component doesn't seem to be doing anything. All I see is when I look at my player mid-game is the sprite idle_0.

No animation of any sort is occurring. It's almost as if the Animation component isn't even there.

#

This problem doesn't exist if I use the animator, but the Animation component seems to have a simpler interface.

#

Nonetheless, for my 2D sprite-based game, I'm tryna create some system that'll allow me to do, like:

public void PlayAnimation(AnimationClip clip)
{
  //...
}
public AnimationClip idleAnim; //set in inspector
public void Start()
{
  PlayAnimation(idleAnim);
}

If anyone knows a way to do that, lemme know
k thx bye

tropic inlet Dec 16, 2020, 8:12 PM

#

If there was an immediately obvious way to create states and transitions for the animator component entirely through C# code, I'd be able to work with that, but I can't seem to find member functions for that in the docs.

Hey all! I'm new here. I've been tinkering with Unity for a couple months, the 2D side of things to be exact. I'm right now facing a problem with Colliders and smoothed movement with SmoothDamp: when my character collides with a boundary, it kind of "gets absorbed" a little and lags a bit when i try to move away. Removing the SmoothDamp removes the problem entirely. So: is there any way I can keep the SmoothDamp kind of movement while fixing this issue, without having to detect all collisions (triggers) by hand?

#

Update: seems that the little "bounce" is a default behavior of colliders and rigidbodies, but having SmoothDamp enabled makes that small movement take a very long time. Any parameters I may tinker with?

solemn latch Dec 16, 2020, 11:02 PM

#

@still tendon are you applying the damping before ir after the physics?

still tendon Dec 16, 2020, 11:03 PM

#

solemn latch <@456226577798135808> are you applying the damping before ir after the physics?

I am updating the transform position at the beginning of fixedupdate based on the input axis which is plugged in the damping together with the previous value and a fixeddeltatime*speed parameter

#

Physics are handled outside of code atm

solemn latch Dec 16, 2020, 11:07 PM

#

Just what are you attempting to achieve with the damping, precisely?

#

Does it need to happen in fixedupdate?

#

For a lot of situations you only need to apply input smoothing once per frame.

#

Also, if you are using delta tine inside of fuxed update that coukd cause weird behavior.

still tendon Dec 16, 2020, 11:10 PM

#

solemn latch Just what are you attempting to achieve with the damping, precisely?

I thought it would make the movement more physical for it to have a little weight (it’s a guy with a glider sort of).
It’s in fixed update because that’s where I’ve been updating the movement so far, it kind of made sense since Controls should be kind of consistent in time and not tied to framerate i suppose

solemn latch Dec 16, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Delta time is meant to compensate for variable frame rates in update, whike the rate of fixed update is as close to fixed as possible.

still tendon Dec 16, 2020, 11:11 PM

#

Maybe i could achieve similar results by using the physics to govern movement? Instead of adding a delta movement each update

#

Thank you for your interest by the way, feels good to speak with somebody 🙂

solemn latch Dec 16, 2020, 11:12 PM

#

Messing with position directly will mess with physics too, yes.

still tendon Dec 16, 2020, 11:13 PM

I think i need to review the way i process my input updates and subsequent movement i guess

#

Do you by chance know some good example about this?

#

Well, they focus on high production values rather than actually teaching hiw to do things correctly.

#

And while he was particularly active half the questions in here started wuth 'I'm trying to follow this tutorial and...'

#

Starting simple is definitely a good idea!

still tendon Dec 16, 2020, 11:30 PM

#

solemn latch Starting simple is definitely a good idea!

Do you think applying the smoothing directly on the axis data could achieve anything? Right now I think it gets messed up because the smoothing’s starting value is taken directly from the transform so it also applies to the movement caused by colliders and stuff

#

First things first: in general do you think I should apply smoothing to the movement or to the input values?

#

Like which one is preferable if the objective is to have a smooth motion that feels like it’s accelerating and decelerating left and right?

solemn latch Dec 16, 2020, 11:33 PM

#

One thing to note is that unity can apply input smoothing itself

#

And if you are using physics forces to move then acceleration and deceleration will happen normally.

#

If you're using physics there shouldn't be much need to apply smoothing to the motion itself.

still tendon Dec 16, 2020, 11:39 PM

#

that's definitely something to think about, whether it makes sense to go about it in the current way or if id better move the controls to the physics engine.

I have a question about 2d movement, if you use this code to dictate your characters movement:
myRigidbody.MovePosition(transform.position + change.normalized * speed * Time.deltaTime);
How can you check your rigidbodys current movement speed? Checking velocity with this code:
myRigidbody.velocity.sqrMagnitude
returns a consistent 0, as I'm assuming the "MovePosition" code isn't giving the rigidbody velocity, but more so just teleporting a short bit every time.

I've tried getting a previous position and comparing it to the current position of the rigidbody to see if they are equal, i.e. the rigidbody is not moving, but this has its inconsistencies especially when dealing with collisions and the like. If I need to be more descriptive please let me know, and thanks in advance!

@ivory tapir moving rigid body with transform sort of defeats purpose of rigid body, there has to be better way to do what you want to do. Either moving the object using physics or if you don't need physics you can calculate velocity yourself by storing position of your transform and comparing that position with new position next frame

hi, i have a question. i am opening a chest in my game by pressing spacebar, which shows some text on the screen. i also hide this text using spacebar. the problem is that unity instantly hides the text as soon as it is shown, probably because it still detecs spacebar as pressed. How do i fix this?

#

 if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && playerInRange)
        {
            animator.SetFloat("chestOpened", 1);
            if(dialogueBox.activeInHierarchy)
            {
                dialogueBox.SetActive(false);
            }else if(chestOpened)
            {
                dialogueBox.SetActive(true);
                dialogueText.text = dialogue;
                chestOpened = true;
            }
        }

#

is there any way i can set a minimum time for the text to stay onscreen?

GetKeyDown will only be called once, so it's not that.

weird, because the dialogue box disappears immediately, but the chest animation happens

#

And seeing how many times it's called when you press Space.

abstract olive Dec 17, 2020, 9:04 PM

#

Are you using the new input system by chance?

#

Actually, you aren't, if you're using GetKeyDown.

In that case, your best bet would be to use a bool on your controller which you flag true/false based on if the player is in dialogue (or "busy" otherwise). And then check against that before allowing the player to make input.

pallid kayak Dec 17, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

hmmm, i followed a Brackeys tutorial so i have no clue which i am using

abstract olive Dec 17, 2020, 9:05 PM

#

Original then.

#

So you would create something like bool isPlayerBusy = false;

#

And when you begin dialogue, or opening a chest, you would isPlayerBusy = true;

pallid kayak Dec 17, 2020, 9:06 PM

#

    void Update()
    {
        if(dialogueBox.activeInHierarchy)
        {
        Movement.x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
        Movement.y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");
        animator.SetFloat("Horizontal", Movement.x);
        animator.SetFloat("Speed", Movement.sqrMagnitude);
        }
    }

#

gonna test this

#

void FixedUpdate() 
    {
        if(dialogueBox.activeInHierarchy)
        {
        rb.MovePosition(rb.position + Movement * moveSpeed * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        }
    }

abstract olive Dec 17, 2020, 9:07 PM

#

Yeah, exactly, you check the state of the game before allowing movement. Though, keep in mind, if you plan to add other times to lock the player, you're going to get a pretty long IF statement.

You can reference objects in a variety of ways.

Option 1:
Create a public variable of it public MyScript reference; and drag the object with that script into it, in the inspector.

Option 2:
You can use FindObjectOfType <MyScript>(); and cache a reference in your code

Option 3:
If the reference you want to make is on the same object, you can use GetComponent<MyScript>();

Option4:
If the reference you want to make is a child object, you can use GetComponentInChildren<MyScript>();

For basic player movement in a roguelike / top down game, should I use transform.Translate or rigidbody2d.movePosition

subtle zodiac Dec 18, 2020, 11:10 AM

#

Hey :=) I want to trigger a Coroutine when a gameobject has moved past the cords "x = -5"

My idea was;

void Update()
    {
        if(transform.position == new Vector3(transform.position.x, -5))
        {
            StartCoroutine(KnightAttacking());
        }
    }```

But that just does nothing :( Any idea?

So the project i'm working on, I want to make it a 2d game with sprites that have paperdolling for equipment. But I can't find any useful tutorials on how to set this up with the animator stuff, does anyone nave any videos they can recommend or anywhere to point me in a direction of getting 2d stuff set up for having something like this without it being an absolute nightmare?

#

I'm starting to think it might be easier to just do it all in code instead of trying to use the animator tools

I am currently testing a 2D platformer with pixel precise art.
The black lines at the top and the bottom of the ground tiles should have the same pixel width. But when I play, the length of these lines do not stay equal. Sometimes the one at top is a bit longer, and sometimes the one at the bottom. What could be the cause of this problem and how could it be fixed?

how can I transform a 2d mesh into 3d (extend it along the z axis)?

tropic inlet Dec 19, 2020, 6:57 PM

#

@still tendon

#

in whatever code you use for the actual jumping

#

check to see if the player is crouching firs

#

if the player is crouching, don't jump

#

This is why I use enums and switch statement

#

enum State{
  IDLE,WAlk,JUMP
}
State state;
//... later on
switch(state){
  case State.IDLE: break;
  case State.WALK: break;
}

#

With your current design, the easiest thing would be:

void Update()
{
  crouch = Input.GetButton("Crouch");
  jump = Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && !crouch;
}

IEnumerator RotateWeapon()

// Loops until rotation.z == 0
while (PLR_WeaponTransform.localRotation != Quaternion.identity)
{
// Lerps rotation
PLR_WeaponTransform.localRotation = Quaternion.Slerp

Now that I've experimented it actually works if I store and do all the rotation calculation in a handy Vector3 and just convert the vector to a Quaternion when I have to update the rotation. Thanks :3

You could initialize the speed variable as a float or typecast it in an expression (to float) if it was of another data type. Hope this helps 🙂

that is the question, isn't it ? :) .. unfortunately there is no simple solution .. you could set Canvas to camera space and enable auto scaling .. it will automatically scale all your UI elements to fit any resolution .. but aspect ration is another can of worms and there is no simple way out (or at least I'm not aware of one) .. you'll have to make UI in a way that it adapts to different aspect ratios or design it in a way that it would fit your targeted platform
