Ok so I played around with some cubes to get my basic "logic" to get started and it worked, however now I want to add sprites as I want to do it in 2D, however my sprites are being moved wrongly. (https://i.imgur.com/hhOFD7k.png)
Does this have to do with me using transform.LookAt? This is my projectile move code:
// Update is called once per frame
void Update()
{
if(target != null)
{
float step = speed * Time.deltaTime;
this.transform.LookAt(target.transform);
this.transform.position = Vector2.MoveTowards(this.transform.position, target.transform.position, step);
}
}
(basically in 2D nothing shows since it's flat)
still tendon
{
float counter = 0;
isMoving = true;
Debug.Log("move start");
while (counter < walkTime)
{
counter += Time.deltaTime;
if (direction == 0) //left
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3((attributes.moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime)/10, 0f, 0f));
Debug.Log("moving");
}
if (direction == 1) //right
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3(-(attributes.moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime) / 10, 0f, 0f));
Debug.Log("moving");
}
if (direction == 2) //up
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3(0f, (attributes.moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime) / 10, 0f));
Debug.Log("moving");
}
if (direction == 3) //down
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3(0f, -(attributes.moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime) / 10, 0f));
Debug.Log("moving");
}
}
isMoving = false;
Debug.Log("Stopped");
}```Im trying to make a patrol script for my enemies, and they're walking the right distance but the object isnt being updated every frame
they move the right direction and i get moving logs every frame but the gameobject only gets updated after the loop for some reason

vocal condor
any ideas?
Control is never returned during the loop so your result will be that of the final result.
vocal condor
If walk was a coroutine, you could insert a yield at the end of the while statement to return control per frame.
still tendon
it was a coroutine before i can change it back
and what exactly would the yield statement look like
vocal condor
private IEnumerator Walk(int walkTime, int direction)
{
//..
while (counter < walkTime)
{
counter += Time.deltaTime;
if (direction == 0) //left
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3((attributes.moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime)/10, 0f, 0f));
Debug.Log("moving");
}
else if (direction == 1) //right
{
transform.Translate(new Vector3(-(attributes.moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime) / 10, 0f, 0f));
Debug.Log("moving");
}
//else if..
yield return null;//don't delay more than one frame
}
//..
}
```Example.Reminder, you can only yield in a coroutine which has a return type of IEnumerator and will only work properly if you start the coroutine with StartCoroutine(nameof(method)); or StartCoroutine(method(arguments)).

I found some code for 2D rotation as mine would rotate on Z too or whatever when I used .LookAt(), so now it works as I wanted, however I need to put all my sprites/objects rotated, to make them point towards the point.
So I need to make left go right like:
https://i.imgur.com/brs0Z1j.png
So the "upper" side is to the right
Vector2 direction = new Vector2(chosenObj.transform.position.x - this.transform.position.x, chosenObj.transform.position.y - this.transform.position.y);
float rotation = Mathf.Atan2(direction.y, direction.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
this.transform.eulerAngles = new Vector3(0, 0, rotation);
Is there an actual question or are you simply illustrating your discoveries 
?
strong sand
Thought I wrote it, well I'm curious how I would do to let them stand up normally, lol
without having to rotate my future sprites
vocal condor
I don't understand, what is normal? Assuming their default state, you would simply not rotate them or as you are avoiding undo their rotations.
strong sand
Normal as in standing up. Like: https://i.imgur.com/zw867H6.png
If I want to use the rotation code, it would rotate wrongly. (as in the top green part, would be facing the wrong way, not to the point I want)
vocal condor
You'll need to undo their rotation with a rotate
strong sand
How would I do that? I want them to rotate towards the point, but I want to be able to have my sprites as they are when I put them into my scene (standing up like the pumpkin up there ^) - so I don't have to rotate all of my sprites that I put in.
But they're supposed to rotate - but with the "head" towards the point.
Example:
vocal condor
I'm assuming it's a single sprite/image so if you want the green to be on the right, you would rotate them that direction; rotate back to 0 for original state.
I'm not understanding the task you're trying to accomplish.
but I want to be able to have my sprites as they are
don't rotate?
strong sand
https://i.imgur.com/NBUeuqa.png
Ok so with the code I sent, the left one here, would aim at the target with its "hole" (https://i.imgur.com/2EHRFvW.png) part (at the top of the heart) where as the right one, would aim its right side (https://i.imgur.com/2QUBuPf.png) towards the target.
Does that make sense?
vocal condor
No
strong sand
Sure about that? lol.
When I put a sprite into the scene, it's like the right sprite in that picture, as in - facing the top with its top part. But if I use it like that, it would aim like this towards its target: https://i.imgur.com/LXuF3g2.png
vocal condor
I want them to rotate towards the point, but I want to be able to have my sprites as they are
I can only infer that you want a rotation but do not want a rotation. Wherethemis referring to thesprites๐คทโโ๏ธ .
strong sand
What I want it to do is aim the top part of the sprite, like it looks like when I drag it into the scene, towards the target.
But to achieve the second, with my current code, I need to rotate them before running the scene to the right, like so:
Otherwise it puts this side: https://i.imgur.com/rDvAlrH.png - towards the object. (pumpkin)
vocal condor
the left one here, would aim at the target with its "hole"
where as the right one, would aim its right side towards the target.
What do you mean by aim? Is there something invisible or that you aren't explaining? The left has the "hole" to the right, the right as the "hole" to the north.
Are you perhaps trying to change it's default orientation?
strong sand
I managed to solve it, lol.
With aim as in I want its top part to look at (I don't know how to explain this part any more) the target (the pumpkin in this case)
But I added + 270f to the rotation, lol
vocal condor
If so, have the object as a child and have the child rotated but everything else relative to the parent.
Okay, whatever works.

[This is a copied message from works-in-progress. Figured it'd be a good place to put this here to help out fellow 2d devs] Anybody out there using SpriteRenderers in Unity and want a FREE C# script that could help you out? If so, we created a "SpriteGroup" class that can be used to additively control the alpha channel of all child Sprite Renderers and UI Renderers components in a parent object. It really works almost the same as a UI Canvas Group component, but for Sprite Renderers. The documentation may look a little weird though, so beware! Also, if you are interested in testing our game, Treat Team, I would really appreciate that! I'll guarantee you that it'll be a fun experience.
Attached above is the .cs file for the SpriteGroups class. Just download the file and read our (terribly written) documentation! If there are any issues, please direct message me via Discord! Also, if you're interested in testing our game out, please DM me as well!

It seems like with the tools above the tile palette, you can't get two tiles (like spikes facing to the middle of the tile from different sides) on one tile
move overwrites it, just like using the brush again.
however, changing the position for the selected tile with numbers on the right does work - but it's always 0 0 for each one initially, so these are relative
does that mess with anything later? checking what tile is where basically
is it still meaningful the ground spike was actually one tile further left, or is what you see what you get?
real moss

at least from what I saw that's why
wait, I need to generally ask
would one do everything with these tiles in a game that's tile based

i didn't even know they can affect gameplay other than placing objects really easily
do they?
hasty mason
I'm not really talking about the method of placing them I guess
I don't know, huh!
I thought they must be more than decoration
All I want is for things to be understood by the game as being in certain grid positions, being able to check what's next to what, all that puzzly stuff
real moss
well, they obviously can have a collider and be objects in general but is there something else it does other than placement
i think they do that by being same size as normal unity grid
and i assume hexagons are a bit fucked because of that
hasty mason
So sprites are used for that stuff, the player and so on?
even if those also align exactly with the same grid anyway
Can you easily place sprites on the grid just like tiles?
real moss
why the hell not

I should probably look at these roguelike tutorials (not the 2015 ones though) and see how this works
they usually have static tiles and then characters moving on the grid and such

Why is animating an 2D character the most annoying thing in the world? First I have made a player with a skeleton. Then I made it so it goes from idle state to walking state when it starts moving. Then I noticed it wasn't moving and I googled a bit and noticed rigidbody does not work with animator component. So I made it a child of an gameobject rewritten the movement now that was fixed. Now last thing I have to do is make the animation flip when moving left and right. Currently it only shows left. The animator animation had a component "mirror" so I binded that to a bool that is true when walking right. Turns out mirror doesn't flip the animation but it reverses the animation. How do I flip the animation on the x rotation. If I set the scale to -1 on the x axis the camera moves so that is not the right way to do it too. Hopefully someone can help me out here would be nice!
Thanks

See if changing the color or alpha causes it to come back
then it means that the issue is that something's setting it's transparency
If it doesn't do anything then the problem is somewhere else
obsidian finch
Don't do the eyedropper
open up the color picker
and adjust the alpha slider
and the color
odd flower
it still resets it
i changed alpha to max and color to white
and it just defalted to peach
obsidian finch
So, you've probably got some other code that's constantly affecting the color
I would check that code and see if there's anything you're missing, maybe you're setting alpha to 0
odd flower
want me to send you the color change code so that can be debbuged beacuse alpha is not in my code
obsidian finch
Put the code up one hatebin and post a link
odd flower
ok
oh wait i forgot to remove material
i mean it did not effect anything when i remove it but still
obsidian finch
And these colors are set in the inspector I presume?
odd flower
yep
obsidian finch
Check to make sure those have full alpha
odd flower
ye that was the reason sorry for me being an idiot

No problem, at least now you've learned like five other things to check if your 2D sprite isn't showing up in game view

When I run my UI in a screen that is not big it will not scale propely
Canvas Scaler is set to Scale With Screen Size
I think it is caused by Grid Layout Group

It is scaling normally but

Hi, I'm trying to set up a basic 'pick up green key -> green door opens' function, but I can't quite figure out how to make the door disappear. The green door has its own layer in my tilemap, and at the start of the level, is impassable. I've tried to SetActive(false) upon picking up the appropriate key, but the tile still blocks the player. I also tried Destroy(greendoor), but I get a
Your script should either check if it is null or you should not destroy the object.```
error. What can I do to make the tile vanish and become traversable?Update: sort of fixed. I modified the boolean that checked if a certain tile was clear, from
if (walls or doors) = cant move
to
if (walls or (doors and not keys) = cant move

Hi Folks. I have an issue with my player's movement animation. I don't think it is the code, but I am not sure. The animations, when played, seem fine. Maybe it is the animator? I just don't know enough about animation to know for sure. But, when my character moves, it seems to jump frames or "stutter" in its movement. This is not a consistent issue, and it seems to get worse if I ramp up the players movement speed. Here is a video of what it looks like. Here is also my movement code (its abbreviated for this example) https://hatebin.com/zgivmozhrq Any thoughts on what could be causing this issue?

hot damn, that seems to have worked! and, it seemed to help the other issue. The FPS still drops, but the characters movement does not seem to change. when I was doing movement in Update, I also needed a higher speed (like 30). In FixedUpdate, the same speed can be set with a value of 5

@mossy coyote did it fix the animation suddenly getting faster

I learned about this programming pattern from Game Maker Studio 2 tutorials
yw
I don't see many Unity tutorial makers using it
idk why
i think it's rly organized
and the nice thing about enums is they are convertible to ints
here:
enum State{
Wander, Aggro, Stunned
}
State.Wander is 0, State.Aggro is 1, State.Stunned is 2
just gotta cast
int num = (int)State.Aggro;
print(num); //1
which could possibly be useful if u want to use an array and index-based access or something
still tendon
convenient
would the state machines work with coroutines or would they be started every frame still

im currently using a white image to make temp platforms in 2d, is there a better way than using filler sprites with box colliders
tropic inlet
@still tendon Oh, and one more thing. If you're actually gonna use this state machine pattern, a quick way to see your current state in-game is, like:
private void OnGUI()
{
string text = "";
text += $"State: {state}\n";
//maybe more appends if you want to display more info
GUI.Label(new Rect(0,0,Screen.width / 2, Screen.height), text);
}
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnGUI.html
It's not performant since C# strings are immutable, but whatevs. It's just for debugging.

Right now bullets are shooting from the back of my gun in my top down game instead of th etip of the gun
So how can I make it so they shoot from the tip?
tropic inlet
make sure the spawn position is correct
rigid juniper
Well I know they are spawning at the pivot point which is at the back of the gun. In my code right now they are just spawning at the position of the gun. But I assume I have to do some kind of math the get the bullets to spawn a bit up the gun right? because I cant just say spawn at the position of the gun + 10 because then it will only be 10 up and not 10 towards the mouse, also I just realized that wouldn't even work cause the position is not an int, whatever I need help!

tropic inlet
Well I know they are spawning at the pivot point which is at the back of the gun...
So, the real issue is you don't know how to get the right direction vector?
The way you get a direction vector pointing from vector A to vector B is:
Vector3 directionFromAToB = (B - A).normalized;
u should memorize this. Super important formula for vector math
10 units from the spawn position towards the mouse is as easy as:
Vector3 dir = (mousePosition - spawnPosition).normalized;
Vector3 result = spawnPosition + dir * 10.0f;
with 2d, u gotta be wary of the Z axis tho

glossy marten
The arrow has the layer Arrows yes, and no the console doesn't say that the enemy is hit

// transform.position += (Vector3)direction;
if (CanMove(direction))
{
target = transform.position += (Vector3)direction;

}
So, commented out is my old grid movement code, which is a simple 'snap to one square over in the direction you push', but i'm trying to make it more of a slide, which is where the MoveTowards comes in, but it's doing the same thing, instead of sliding movement.

I didn't have the "arrows" layer in it but it didn't fix the problem

instead of each one script being considered a function.
to make a member function, all you do is define the function in the Create event
structs can prolly have member functions too

Of course it's possible.
That's called procedural map generation.
Or procedural level generation.

lunar rampart
There's a lot of ways to do procedural generation, and there's no 'right' answer, it really depends on what you want the end result to look like. You could pre-define platforms and have them instantiate randomly within the game boundary, or could could go a step further and have the platforms themselves be procedurally generated.
A lot of it comes down to defining rules about what you want the algorithm to do. For example, you could tell it to place and random value between a and b platforms horizontally, with a random height between c and d between each set of horizontals.
Or you could say to start with each layer be completely solid ground and remove chunks of it to make holes for the player to jump through.
If you want the platforms themselves to be generated, you can define things like max width and height and use some kind of noise function to define the surfaces of them.

I'm making a 2d game in unity
Very simple
I'm trying to move the player using the transform command
transform.position += transform.up * (Time.deltaTime*5)
with an if statement to detect button presses
but for some reason I have to spam w and cant just press and hold to move it.
can someone help?
craggy briar
Make sure you're using Input.GetKey and not GetKeyDown
green wind
Oh, thanks
flat dome
btw, why when I am putting my canvas prefab to the scene I cant click on the buttons?
(pls tag me when u response)
craggy briar
You might have forgot the event system in the prefab
flat dome
thanks!

i need help with my script my character just breaks down and the animations dont work the problem is that when i click start the running works but never stops but when i jump (W button) my running animations stop and my character just stays idle
https://paste.myst.rs/skxhmo77
Some one please help
civic knot
i need help with my script my character just breaks down and the animations dont...
You never exit the jump state. Also, I'd assume that your velocity is never actually 0 after you move, preventing it from going into idle state.
last surge
Is it ok if i dm you
civic knot
Nope.
civic knot
Yeah, I got that.
civic knot
Does your object actually physically stops?
Is it only the animation that doesn't change to idle?
last surge
Here is what happens :
1 character drops down and is doing the idle animation
2 if i click A or D he goes into running state and is doing the running animation
3 he doesn't stop unless i jump (W key) or he hits another colider
civic knot
Doesn't stop moving or playing the running animation. Or both?
last surge
If i hit a collider it stops the running state and goes into idle state and does the idle animation
But if i just stop clicking any button he just stays put and still does he running animation and i have no idea what state he is in
civic knot
Ugh... Is it so difficult to just answer my question without adding any additional information?
last surge
Oh sry
civic knot
Doesn't stop moving or playing the running animation. Or both?
Which one?
last surge
Also did mean
does it stop moving
Cuz im confused with the first option
He stops moving and still plays the running animation
civic knot
Moving physically through space. I don't know how else to describe it.๐คทโโ๏ธ
civic knot
He stops moving and still plays the running animation
So he stops moving, but the running animation is still playing?
last surge
Yes
civic knot
Then it must be a problem with your animator transitions.
Also try debugging your state to know what state it's in in any given moment.
last surge
Umm im kinda new to unity soo idk most things
My animator transition is a integer
And i set my transition to when my state (name of integer) is 1 it will go to running and if state is 0 it will go to idle
civic knot
Take a screenshot of your animator controller(where you see your states and transitions). Use Debug.Log to output your state(in script) to the console. https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html
tropic inlet
GUI.Label in OnGUI is better than Debug.Log tbh
civic knot
Perhaps, but seeing that he doesn't know about debug, ongui is just gonna confuse him more.
civic knot
*screenshot. Yes.
civic knot
Is "running" a looping animation?
civic knot
Then uncheck "has exit time". Actually uncheck it on both.
That probably not gonna solve your problem though. So debug your state as I mentioned.
last surge
OMG thankssss
thanks soooooooo much
also why is my running animation a little delayed
civic knot
Did you uncheck it on both transitions?
last surge
yeah
civic knot
Then must be something else. Look at your animator at runtime to see if the parameter change is delayed or the transition is.
last surge
ok wait sry wrong word my animation is like running after i stop moving but does stop in like 1 sec
civic knot
Your running animation is playing when the object is halted?
last surge
yeah but like for a sec
but now its like half a sec
cuz i changed else if (Mathf.Abs(rb.velocity.x) > 0) to else if (Mathf.Abs(rb.velocity.x) > Mathf.Epsilon)
civic knot
I'd just apply a proper drag or set the velocity to zero, when there is no input.
last surge
wait which velocity to zero
you mean you want me to change 10 f to 0
rb.velocity = new Vector2(rb.velocity.x, 10f);
civic knot
Are there several velocities that you are using?
last surge
ohhhhhh thats what you ment
civic knot
On x axis. To 0.
mighty hare
im trying to move my 2d character using Rigidbody.AddRelativeForce() but I really want to get rid of that drag feeling
any advice
civic knot
set the drag to 0

hey so I did a bit of programming with a friend and was looking to continue what i was doing becuase he is busy now
give me a second and i will get my project open and ask some questions i am very new to unity
i love how easy it is to use pointers and reference classes in unity it hurts
how simple it is
or whatever its called idk i think it was pointes
ok so i was coding in a simple turn based rpg i got so far as to that i can click attack and the enemys health would go down in the debug log. its a very simple prototype.
wait
maybe i can do answer this myself ill be back
omg guys i applied my previous knowledge by myself im becoming a good coder

someone knows about galaxy siege?, is a 2d ship-builder game.
well, im making a game and i want a feature like this:
an inventory that displays the prefabs of the ship modules and you can drag them to the tile-based ship builder but i want that you can't put a module if it does not had another module on its adjacent tiles
AAAAAND!! I would like the ship to be saved for use in the levels, as this function will be available from the main menu
(ping me if can help or even comment)

Hey is there a way to safe a room i made in a tilemap to a prefab and somehow let them instantiate via code ? so that i can spawn a room every 50 tiles ?
distant pecan
i think you can just drag your tilemap into assets folder to save the room
humble kayak
Hey is there a way to safe a room i made in a tilemap to a prefab and somehow le...
Im doing the same thing, only difference I have a grid with multiple tilemaps and I save the grid as a prefab
Actually I have a template Grid game object with template tilemaps, drag into wherever you want it to be stored
rename the prefab for example Room0, Room1 etc
drag the prefab in the editor under some category
change the transform in the prefab (prefab mode) X,Y (2d in my case) and also draw whatever you want in this specific room
Then Im disabling all the prefabs in the editor, and load them like chunks depending where my player is
still tendon
@humble kayak got it can i ask how do you "spawn"(instantiate) the tilemap ? do you use something like tilemap.GetTilesBlock and then SetTilesBlock ?
humble kayak
No are you trying to do procedural?
still tendon
A bit ye just some random stuff spawning every set tiles
humble kayak
Sorry, I can't help you then, because all my "rooms" are premade
humble kayak
If everything is premade then you just instantiate the prefab and everything will be there
still tendon
Yeah the problem with that is that the tiles are always off center
and i dont know why
humble kayak
Im not sure either, I usually ask for help here ^^
I just know that it can work you are probably doing something wrong
still tendon
i just placed 1 tile on the tilemap and got this https://i.imgur.com/3g6iVXT.png
when i now try to instantiate the prefab at player location/tile it will be on the far left

hey so like i probably actually need help now
i did this game many times in c++ console app but i always hit a brick wall and couldnt learn to do more
im trying to think on what to do here and how to ask my question
becuase i did it three times in c++
ok
so i set it up so that when i press a button i get feed back on the fact that i pressed the button in the debug log
when i do that, i want it so that i the player controller script i made that it will check a bool, the bool is for the attack the player choose
first off how would i get the button handler script that makes sure im pressing buttons make a bool true in my player controller script
a pointer right?
i forgets how to do it
civic knot
A reference.
civic knot
You might want to learn some c# first, if you only worked with c++ before.
empty garden
i mean i did a bit of c#
and im getting the hang of it
one sec.
this is a reference right? ``` combatScript.Instance.enemy.takeDamage();
this is from something else
civic knot
Instance might indicate that it's a singleton perhaps.
There are 3 things in that line that are probably references: combatScript, Instance, enemy. At least according to naming conventions.
civic knot
if Instance is an indication of singleton, then combatScript must be a class..?
civic knot
but thats how you do it right?
Do what exactly?
empty garden
reference
and make things in one class affect another
this is from my other code
but i was having a lot of help
so its a bit fuzy on what i was doing3.
civic knot
No. Singleton pattern is not the only(and not the recommended) way to get a reference to another script.
civic knot
Depends on your use case. You could use one of the Find functions to get the reference or expose the field in the inspector and assign it in the editor.
That's the 2 most common ways.
empty garden
hmmm
ok what i want to do
is when i press the button it makes a bool in playerController true
and the button code is a different class
so what would i want if i wanted to do that
of the two common ways
civic knot
If both of the objects exist in the scene from the start, you can dawg and drop the player controller object into the field on your button.
empty garden
one sec
civic knot
If they don't exist from the start, you have to use Find and/or GetComponent.
empty garden
i dont think they exist at the start or at all rn, should i make a sprite for the player, i dont think i want a player sprite rn or at all
maybe make just a throw away one
so it can get a script
ok done
i dont want to give it graphics rn
unless thats not what you mean by they dont exist at the start
how do you use find
civic knot
By exist I mean an instance of the script on a GameObject in the scene. It doesn't need to have a sprite or anything else.
civic knot
how do you use find
Lookup Monobehaviour and GameObject pages in unity docs. They list all of the available Methods and their descriptions/use examples.
empty garden
well i think it does now but what do you mean by drag and drop it into the field of the button stuff, like add the script to it?
civic knot
When you have public or serialized fields in a script, they are exposed in the inspector for you to assign the references.
You can drag and drop objects/components into these fields of they match the field type.
humble kayak
What would be the reason that this
{
//Get the mouse position on the screen and send a raycast into the game world from that position.
Vector2 worldPoint = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
RaycastHit2D hit = Physics2D.Raycast(worldPoint, Vector2.zero);
//If something was hit, the RaycastHit2D.collider will not be null.
if (hit.collider != null)
{
Debug.Log(hit.collider.name);
}
}```
works, but onMouseOver doesn't trigger ?
solved : z = 0 -> z = 1 worked for mei mean i get the fact that you can do that in unity but where am i dragging and dropping and what am i dropping
civic knot
What would be the reason that this
```private void Update()
{
//Get...
Honestly I don't understand how it works with direction being Vector3.zero.
civic knot
i mean i get the fact that you can do that in unity but where am i dragging and...
I assumed that you had a script on your buttons.
empty garden
yes
civic knot
If not, you can use the button component to call simple methods and set primitive type variable values.
civic knot
The you drag the playerwhatever into a field on thatbitron script.
civic knot
Create a public or serialized field in that script first.
civic knot
where its highlighted
What?
empty garden
add componet add new script?
civic knot
?
empty garden
idk man im i dont know all the lingo
civic knot
In your button handler script create a public/serialized field of the playerwhatever type.
Than you can drag it's instance into that field.
If you don't understand the lingo, google it.
empty garden
i am really lost
wait
so
add componet then add the buttonHanddler script to the player object
is that what you meant
because that is what i was trying to say
@civic knot
well i have to go soon
civic knot
is that what you meant
No.
These are the very basics of working with unity. You gotta learn them properly or you're not gonna be able to develop anything. I suggest you take some beginner courses on unity learn.
empty garden
i can figure it out, ithink you need to be more clear and or explain it better i need to go for now
civic knot
I mean, I don't even need to explain these things. I usually don't, instead I send people to learn properly right away. This time I wasted a little bit of my time and it proved to be ineffective, which means that there's no point in trying to explain things like that.
empty garden
I mean that right there is why I and other people too think that coders are toxic and why they don't come to places like this to learn and get help
This is a place to learn and ask questions isn't it? And you tooknthr time to try to help which is nice but you apperently don't want to explain a small simple thing and how you wasted your time
civic knot
Coders are toxic to people that try to get everything done for them instead of learning properly. Because they know that it takes time and effort to get where they are. When they see a person that doesn't wanna learn they get disappointed in them.
I explained you in the most basic terms what you need to do and how you can achieve it.
If you don't understand that, then there really is a need in a proper learning course. Instead of diving into a project head on.
plush coyote
There is a base level of skill required before someone can really help you over the internet. If the only communication is written words, it is impossible to help without that base level of understanding, since you won't know what the person trying to help you is talking about.
If you were in an in person class, or paying a tutor to help you in real life, that would be a different story though
empty garden
No not really I ask questions all the time qnd get flames for no reason. You weren't that clear. Danon5 makes a good point but this could probably be explained quick more quickly than even look at a beginners course which I kinda am but not entirely
And I would rather talk to people and learn but half the time people get inpatient.
Its whatever I have work tommarow and need to go to bed
civic knot
I could've just given you a complete code, but that goes against my principles.
empty garden
I wasn't asking for that.
left sonnet
@empty garden an example of serialize field below
doesn't apply to what you are doing, you will need to change the types
but it's a good start
empty garden
So its q script you write
plush coyote
His point is that, in order to waste less of everybody time (including your own), it would be better to learn basic things independently using the many resources available online before coming to ask actual people, people who dedicate their own free time to answering questions
empty garden
I mean that wasn't even clear. And besides I was told that the way I did it that was working was bad
plush coyote
But I get where you are coming from
civic knot
I mentioned 3 times that you need to add it in your script...
When you have public or serialized fields in a script, they are exposed in the inspector for you to assign the references.
Create a public or serialized field in that script first.
In your button handler script create a public/serialized field of the playerwhatever type.
Ok
Fair
Maybe I misunderstood what you were trying to say at some point
I got lost
Thats on me
Somehow I thought you meant go into the editor
Qnd do something
civic knot
And that's exactly why you need to know at least some basics and terminology. In order to not get confused by the received help.
serialized field public field are terms you will hear again and again in this discord. If you don't understand them it will be very difficult to receive any help.
knotty shuttle
So, I got this huge problem that is so annoying. I have tried to debug and find out where the problem is and why but I don't understand, maybe someone of you do.
I have a player and a boss (and a lot of enemies), all have the same problem but I will take the boss as an example. When I attack the boss it loses 2 health, he should only lose 1 because it is what I have written. When the player attacks a damagefield appear. Here is my log:
boss.health 3
player.attack (1)
damagefield (1)
boss.hurt (2)
boss.health 1
The code where boss takes damage is here:
{
boss = this.gameObject.GetComponent<Platformer.Mechanics.Boss>();
}
private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("attack") && boss.health > 0)
{
Debug.Log("hurt");
boss.health -= 1;
boss.animator.SetTrigger("hurt");
if (boss.health <= 0)
{
if (boss._audio && boss.hurt)
boss._audio.PlayOneShot(boss.hurt);
boss.animator.SetTrigger("hurt");
boss.animator.SetBool("death", true);
Schedule<Platformer.Gameplay.BossDeath>(2f).boss = boss;
}
}
}```Your enemies are probably made up of more than 1 collider, or your attack is made up of more than 1 collider, so it triggers twice
knotty shuttle
Your enemies are probably made up of more than 1 collider, or your attack is mad...
Omg, yes, thank you so much!!
onyx raft
does anyone know why the angular velocity of my object is changing like this? i apply a force at the beginning, but after that nothing. the ship is made out of 10 objects connected with fixed joints, and each of the 10 objects is a child of a parent object. the parent object is connected to one of the children with a fixed joint
https://youtu.be/mgW9i-Iq8Ns
the rotation appears to oscillate, even when no force is being applied to any of the objects
each of the ten tile objects also has a collider that interacts with the others

What is the best tool to make sprites? Is there an application in the adobe franchise that is good for the creation of sprites?
abstract olive
Depends on your art style. If you're looking to do pixel art, then Photoshop. If you're looking to make vector, Illustrator.
Though, keep in mind, unless you're using the vector graphics package (svg), you still have rasterize vector art into a png and use that.
stark trellis
i was using 2 raycasts from the enemy to detect the player (in front and behind) but of course that leaves the whole area above the enemy uncovered, is it more convenient to create just one box collider around the enemy and use that one as detection area or should i emit other raycasts above instead?
stark trellis
is it more performant than a collider?
robust ivy
if you just want to detect enemy around a collider work
night vault
how do i change the shape of my camera? im following a tutorial to make tetris and the camera in the tutorial is vertical, like in tetris, but they dont explain how they did that and i cant figure it out
civic knot
They probably use an Orthographic camera. If they don't explain it, it's either too advanced for you or just a bad tutorial.
night vault
mine is set to orthographic too
and maybe but ive used unity a bit so maybe i could do it
ah so i think i kinda get it?? in the manual it talks about a fov axis menu, and it shows up in the manual's screen shots, but i cant find it anywhere in my version??
oh ok so, when its in the orthographic camera i dont have the setting for fov axis, but when its in perspective i do have it
but changing it seems to have zero effect?
can someone please help me?
night vault
im making progress but for some reason i can no longer see any of the squares in my game view?
does anyone know why this could have happened or how to fix it??
winged kiln
Can someone help me and show me how i can hide the parts of the green square when its not in shadow? Meaning it would become invisible but the rest of the square, as long as its int he 2D Light it would be visible.
is there a shader that helps with that, or maybe a setting i dont know about?
you see how the part in the shadow is blacked out? I dont want that, i want it to be invisible instead
inland jacinth
@winged kiln You'd need a shader to do this, probably on the shadow mesh that's drawn.
winged kiln
I thought the same things, but how would I even get access to the shadow?
I mean tbh I know nothing about shaders
@inland jacinth
still tendon
Hey i have a question, can i reproduce two animatios un the same object un the same time??
inland jacinth
@winged kiln Actually, it looks like the lights are sampling the shadow map and darkening themselves. It might be possible for a custom sprite shader to access the shadow map and make its pixels transparent when under shadow.
