why does fire point need to be separate from gun?
#🖼️┃2d-tools
rare parrot
still tendon
where would the bullet spawn then
rare parrot
at the guns location, plus an offset to appear at end of muzzle
ruby karma
they mean to say, why can't the fire point move with the gun
still tendon
so make the firepoint a child of the gun or??
ruby karma
try it 👀
rare parrot
just have the script run on gun, delete firepoint
still tendon
but then some of the code has to change no?
ruby karma
I would recommend you to first of all setup VS or VSCode whatever that is to provide autocomplete. Links on how to do that are pinned in #💻┃code-beginner
still tendon
what will vs do
rare parrot
but then some of the code has to change no?
i would recommend you write instantiate(bulletPrefab, transform.position, transform.rotation); when having weapon script added to gun object
still tendon
ill try it now
rare parrot
what will vs do
vs is short for visual studio, the ide youre using to edit code rn
still tendon
it shoots near the legs and it still goes to the right
rare parrot
???
rare parrot
wheres the center of the gun gameobject
rare parrot
click it in the heirarchy window
press w to select move tool if not already so
where the y and x vectors meet should be center of gameobject
rain ingot
public Sprite[] imageList = new Sprite[] {
Sprite red = Resources.Load ("Assets/Assets/GFX/RED"),
Sprite blue = Resources.Load ("Assets/Assets/GFX/BLUE"),
Sprite green = Resources.Load ("Assets/Assets/GFX/GREEN");
};
is dis right
still tendon
where the y and x vectors meet should be center of gameobject
dumb it down please
still tendon
?
rare parrot
is that the center of the gun?
still tendon
yes thats the gun chosen
rare parrot
```cs
public Sprite[] imageList = new Sprite[] {
Sprite red = Resources....
if it runs, i guess
rain ingot
ok
still tendon
in that photo the gun itself was selected
rare parrot
ok
rare parrot
why the cubes
still tendon
it wouldve been much easier but i made the gun when i was like 2 days into it
yes i know
but its already made
doyou want me to delete it?
rare parrot
for best practices, yes
still tendon
ok hold on
rare parrot
it doesnt take long

look in the inspector window, you should be able to set size of array and assign the sprites there
rain ingot
for onclick i need to add a button?
rare parrot
yes
still tendon
hello
rare parrot
ok
rain ingot
it doesnt log
rare parrot
did you drag the gameobject with the script into onclick event
rare parrot
did you set the function to onClick from TargetScript class
ok
is the button a child of a canvas
rain ingot
no
rain ingot
it shoud be
still tendon
its a sprite now
rare parrot
create a canvas ui object, put button as child under the canvas
still tendon
do i place the script
rare parrot
do i place the script
yes
still tendon
ok ill try it
rare parrot
place it onto the gun
still tendon
it still shoots to the right
and now it doesnt even shoot from the gun
shoots from here
rare parrot
offset the position
rare parrot
when you call instantiate, add new Vector3(x,y,z) to transform.position
still tendon
mhm def understood that
rare parrot
instantiate(bulletPrefab, transform.position + new Vector3(0,0,0), transform.rotation);
adjust x,y,z values of new Vector3
still tendon
to what numbers
rare parrot
find out through trial and error
still tendon
whats supposed to be happening with this piece of code exactly?
so i can understand what im even tyring to do
still tendon
u mean moves this?
rare parrot
no
the center stays the same
when you spawn the bullet, it references that center
the code adds to the position of the center
hence offset
still tendon
aha
rare parrot
if you want to change the center to be at the end of the gun, you have to change the pivot position in sprite editor
rare parrot
thats fine
rare parrot
nvm you shouldnt add offset to position, thats bad practice
rare parrot
if you want to change the center to be at the end of the gun, you have to change...
do this
click on the sprite in the project window, look to inspector
should see this
still tendon
do i return the code to what it used to be
rare parrot
no
still tendon
ok
still tendon
do i press sprite editor
rare parrot
yes
still tendon
ok now what
rare parrot
change pivot from center to customized
still tendon
ight
rare parrot
trial and error until pivot is at the end of the gun
its moves the pivot
it does not move the sprite
or the gun
still tendon
ohh this thing
rare parrot
yes
still tendon
ok ok
rare parrot
move blue circle to end of gun

I have a character in a multiplayer game. I want to be able to change the color of the character but certain parts should always be the same color. So what's the best way to change the color on some parts without having to make lots of different sprites and animations?
rare parrot
whatever u want
rare parrot
yes
still tendon
but it still looks the same in scene?
rain ingot
i did the canvas thing still doesnt work
rare parrot
but it still looks the same in scene?
yes
still tendon
ah ok
alright
it works
but the direction is still fucked
shoots right both ways
rare parrot
i did the canvas thing still doesnt work
is there an active eventsystem in the scene
still tendon
just like always
rain ingot
is there an active eventsystem in the scene
yes
rare parrot
I have a character in a multiplayer game. I want to be able to change the color ...
cant u just change the color component?
still tendon
me and the enemy bot are facing this problem by the way the bot still has a firepoint
rare parrot
shoots right both ways
change the velocity of bullet to negative when left button is clicked
still tendon
still tendon
change the velocity of bullet to negative when left button is clicked
but i shoot with left button on both sides dont i?
frozen anvil
cant u just change the color component?
That changes the color of the entire sprite. Some parts of the sprite are not supposed to change color though
rain ingot
does the button block raycasts
wdym
still tendon
does the button block raycasts
ur pfp really macthes whats going on right now huh
matches*
rare parrot
That changes the color of the entire sprite. Some parts of the sprite are not su...
i see, i would just separate sprite into pieces which should have the color change then
rare parrot
wdym
run the game, click eventsystem in hierarchy window, hover mouse over button, look in inspector window for raycastable target
rare parrot
but i shoot with left button on both sides dont i?
i mean the input for moving character left
not left mouse button
still tendon
what
im trying to make the center face left when i turn left
is that what the velocity does
rare parrot
velocity of bullet makes would make it move in the positive or negative direction
rain ingot
run the game, click eventsystem in hierarchy window, hover mouse over button, lo...
nope cant see raycastable object
still tendon
ohh
how do i do that
and if statment?
an*
i tried to do this but i have no idea how i can write it
rare parrot
if left input, multiply bullet velocity by -1, if right input, reset bullet velocity to original value
rare parrot
nope cant see raycastable object
is the button enabled
still tendon
how would i identify left and right
rare parrot
how would i identify left and right
-1 is left
rain ingot
yes
rain ingot
still tendon
left = -1**
rare parrot
you should be looking for this info
still tendon
rain ingot
still tendon
but i aswell am not sure
rare parrot
left = -1**
right should just be the original value of bullet velocity, left should be negative value of bullet velocity
rare parrot
yes
still tendon
so now i need to tell it that whne i press a it changes it to negative and when i press d it changes back to positive?
rare parrot
you ran the game, and hovered mouse over button?
rain ingot
yes
rare parrot
and this is the eventsystem info?
rain ingot
yes
rare parrot
so now i need to tell it that whne i press a it changes it to negative and when ...
yes
rain ingot
still tendon
?
rare parrot
nvm that works
still tendon
afk
rain ingot
rare parrot
current raycast isnt the button when you hover over it?
rain ingot
nope
rare parrot
i need to call the bullet script dont i
if youre writing that code in bullet script, no
rain ingot
target is the button
rare parrot
did you configure canvas component
rain ingot
rare parrot
change render mode to world space
rain ingot
rare parrot
drag main camera into render camera
rare parrot
change render mode to screen space, then back to world space
to automatically fit canvas to screen then be able to move buttons to gameobject position in world space
rare parrot
where is the button in the scene
rain ingot
child of canvas
rare parrot
not hierarchy, the scene view
rain ingot
in midle of my camera
rare parrot
why are the button and button sprite separate gameobjects?
rare parrot
delete sprite gameobject, add image component to button
rain ingot
now the button hitbox is too big
rare parrot
change the width and height of the rect transform
rain ingot
it changes the image troo
rare parrot
the width and height of rect trransform should be the same ratio as the image dimensions
still tendon
if youre writing that code in bullet script, no
im not
is that wrong
im writing it in the weapon script
rare parrot
im not
if youre writing it player controller (which u should), then you'll need to reference the bullet script to access the bullet speed variable
snow willow
the random only gives me 0 and 1
Yes
rare parrot
the random only gives me 0 and 1
increase the upper bound
rare parrot
its bad practice
still tendon
ok i have two scripts for the movement sinc ei followed brackeys tutroial
rain ingot
now i need to do the sprite swiching
rare parrot
you already have input code in player controller
still tendon
one is this
this one was brought into the tutorial after putting the character controller
when i only put the character controller and attempted to move
it only changed my direction
so i think i have to put the cod einto character controller
?
rare parrot
nvm, just keep it in weapon script
rare parrot
get the script component from the referenced gameobject
still tendon
can u type it
rain ingot
now how do i load the images form array to the image component
still tendon
like this but instead of rb2d its bullet?
rare parrot
now how do i load the images form array to the image component
assign the sprite renderer component
still tendon
and then speed
bullet = GetComponent<speed>();
?
and
public Bullet bullet;
?
rare parrot
declare public GameObject bullet;
still tendon
?
rare parrot
you reference the script from the prefab
rain ingot
assign the sprite renderer component
i use the image component?
rare parrot
the script that has the bullet speed variable isnt called Weapon?
still tendon
the script im trying to call isnt called weapon yes
the script im currently typing in is weapon
rare parrot
which script has bullet speed variable
still tendon
the bullet script
rare parrot
i use the image component?
the image component is for the button, youre trying to use the sprite array for the character?
still tendon
still tendon
?
rare parrot
reference the bullet speed variable by assigning bullet gameobjectbullet.GetComponent<Bullet>();
from weapon script
i recommend you rename bullet gameobject to bulletScript in weapon script
still tendon
in void update correct?
rare parrot
assign it in start()
rare parrot
write if statements in update()
still tendon
if (input.getbuttondown("a"))
yes i know
speed = -10
else (input.getbuttondown("d"))
rare parrot
reference bullet speed by bulletScript.speed
rare parrot
```cs
image = Target.GetComponent<Image>()
```
does that work
rain ingot
idk
rare parrot
run it

nah too much work
alright i deleted them
rare parrot
bulletScript.speed = 10 or -10
replace 10 with bulletSpeed, replace -10 with -bulletSpeed

theres no such thing as bulletspeed in the script tho?

theres no speed in weapon but there is speed in bullet
rare parrot
delete right
rain ingot
thats the error
rare parrot
image = Target.GetComponent<Image>();
what are you trying to do?
rare parrot
just initialize bulletSpeed to 10
rain ingot
switch sprite from a array
still tendon
rare parrot
switch sprite from a array
assign the spriterenderer of the character to sprite array index
still tendon
do i save and hit play now
rain ingot
assign the spriterenderer of the character to sprite array index
on a button
still tendon
do i save and hit play now
?
rare parrot
on a button
assign the button image to sprite array index
rain ingot
assign the button image to sprite array index
how
still tendon
ok sorry
what
why does it expect a ; in else???
40 is the end of the code
rare parrot
why does it expect a ; in else???
show full code
still tendon
rare parrot
change the else to an if
still tendon
else if
rare parrot
no
still tendon
or just a different if
rare parrot
just if() and if()
rare parrot
is speed a public variable

sorry i had to afk
and i styill gotta afk
so wait a bit
@rare parrot
hello?
rare parrot
?
rare parrot
make it public
still tendon
the error still appears tho
i made it public and saved
its still here
even in th ebullet script itsd public
i think its talking about bulletScript
idk
rare parrot
bulletScript gets assigned the reference to Bullet script from bullet gameobejct
still tendon
rare parrot
is the class public
still tendon
yes'
how do i make my code recognize the last facing direction & use the corresponding run animation for up & down movement?
rare parrot
show animator window
rare parrot
show code in bullet script
still tendon
i setup a blend tree
i dont have any up/down animations so i want to use the left running animation when going down, IF last facing direction was left
and the same thing for the right
rare parrot
did you assign the bulletScript reference in the inspector window
rare parrot
nvm
rare parrot
not familiar with blend trees, why use a blend tree as opposed to a finite state machine?
still tendon
i would have the same error with a state machine
i just need some way in the code to recognize the last direction
and default to the right animation
rare parrot
it recognizes current direction by use horizontal and vertical input right
still tendon
yeah
rare parrot
can u store current input in a variable for previous input to recognize last direction
still tendon
i guess
rare parrot
bullet script on the bullet
rare parrot
that on the gun?
rare parrot
write bulletScript = bulletPrefab.GetComponent<Bullet>();
in weapon script
in start()
still tendon
the error says the problem is within here
rare parrot
show code
rare parrot
declare public Bullet bulletScript, not public GameObject bulletScript
still tendon
back
lets goo theyre gone
@rare parrot
the only error left is just a triangle error
ive been ignoring it since like day 3
yo it wont let me choose anything'
@rare parrot
i can put the bullet prefab in there
just not the script
rare parrot
does the bullet prefab work
still tendon
hes
yes
input button a isnt an input
lol
should i put horizontal instead or??
in the player movement a and d are both calle dhorizontal though
hm
ill just make ne inputs lol
new'
IT WORKSSS
@rare parrot THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PUTTING THRU MY BULLSHIT
rare parrot
np
still tendon
o shit wait how do i do this to my enemy tho
bots dont press a or d
fuckkkkkkkkkk
rare parrot
where code is for move bot left or move bot right, same applies
still tendon
what
bot doesnt go left or right it follows me
three enemy scripts
well two
enemy gfx isnt being used
theres like no code that tells it to face left or right@rare parrot
thats the enemyAi
this is what makes it shoot
it shoots non stop even if im not in view
rare parrot
bot doesnt go left or right it follows me
if the bot is following you from left, set that enemy's bullet velocity to positive, if the bot is following you from the right, set that enemy's bullet velocity to negative
still tendon
rare parrot
??
rare parrot
the enemy is suspended in air?
still tendon
its a flying enemy
rare parrot
and you want the enemy to face towards the player?
still tendon
supposed to be like a robot turret thing
yes
currently it isnt
but when i press play it does
not really right at me but like left or right
knotty barn
bots dont press a or d
Consider separating input from the behaviour. It can allow you to use the same scripts regardless whether they are a player or an enemy.
still tendon
what
uh dumb it down?
behaviour as in which way theyre going?
liek detect if theyre going - or +?
knotty barn
Move the input collection to a separate script
knotty barn
PlayerInput listens for input devices and AIInput generates them based on AI decisions
still tendon
what
knotty barn
Yea fire could just be a fire bool
rare parrot
supposed to be like a robot turret thing
to make turrent face towards player, run transform.LookAt(player); in update() of turret
still tendon
in enemy ai script correct?
still tendon
and unfreeze rotation?
rare parrot
yes
still tendon
hm might fuck up things
since when i unfreeze it
the moment i touch it it breaks the bot
rare parrot
how?
still tendon
idk i can show u in screen sahre tho
oh wait
it doesnt do it anymore
it used to go crazy all around the map
and some of the time it get touched and just goes flying
i mean it still does go flying but not as bad
since after i make it go flying it stops moving
but now it doesnt
ill try the code
it already has atarget for player
do i just put target
rare parrot
sure
rare parrot
sure
still tendon
rare parrot
change to 3d collider
rare parrot
nvm
fickle arrow
doesnt it work just by adding a 2d rigidbody?
still tendon
rotation for x and y doesnt exist in 2d
it decided to go to the core of the earth
it also still looked at me without its sprite
rare parrot
the suggested LookAt() but it requires Vector3 to be passed
still tendon
with rigidbody 3d too?
rare parrot
just google how to rotate object towards player 2d unity
rare parrot
instantiate enemy projectile at transform.position and transform.rotation
offset position if u want by changing pivot of enemy sprite
still tendon
enemy projectile is also the same bullet
rare parrot
thats fine
nvm
your bullet script has player code in it
just create a new prefab, assign it the same sprite
still tendon
perfect
still tendon
just create a new prefab, assign it the same sprite
ok
do i copy everything from the original bullet
rare parrot
just the code that moves it
still tendon
?
but that causes the entity to die tho
theres nothing for the player??
thats the entire script for the bullet btw
nothing else nothing less
rare parrot
i mean create a new bullet prefab for the enemy
create new script, should only contain code to move it
still tendon
so basically remove what i crossed out right?
rare parrot
that code is for damaging the player?
still tendon
uh
still tendon
that code is for damaging the player?
damagin any entity
rare parrot
the enemy bullet should not damage itself
still tendon
it doesnt
it doesnt have the entityhealth script
only entites with that script get damaged then deleted
rare parrot
but that causes the entity to die tho
?
rare parrot
the corsse dout
?
still tendon
sorry
got distracted
the crossed out has the entityhealth called in it
this is the entityhealth
here its called
rare parrot
so what is the issue
rare parrot
ok so dont
still tendon
itll immediatley one shot everything
and since i crossed out destory aswell
it wont even one shot them
it doesnt do anything
so i literally cant delete anything from bullet lol
nothing involves the player
neither here
btoh can be applied to absolutley anything
rare parrot
so what is the issue again
still tendon
u told me to make a new bullet and delete stuff of it
i cant delete anything or i break the bullet
rare parrot
you said it was deleting the turret right?
rare parrot
nvm i misunderstood
rare parrot
instantiate the bullet prefab from turret\
still tendon
in what script
rare parrot
in whichever script u want to control enemy fire
still tendon
in enemyshoot?
rare parrot
sure
still tendon
its the script that allows it to shoot
replace it with transform instead of firepoint yes?
still tendon
ok done
the firerate is second or?
i dont really understand it
i yoinked the script lol
rare parrot
the firerate is second or?
yes
still tendon
ok wait i gotta brb

@rare parrot hello im back
rain ingot
soemone pls halp
still tendon
Is there any way to make it instead of on keypress into a on button press. I have a button in my game already and it works fine but how do I make this line of code into a script that will let me access it through my ingame button?
It works with load menu but no idea how to make it pause the game
resume doesn't work, I tried
unless i coud make a new void thing
nvm
made void pause into public void pause and i got function pause working
all works
Why when I ask people, I always find out whats the problem
weird
snow willow
It's magic
still tendon
ikr
snow willow
Also you need to think about the problem in a certain way to formulate a question properly
Gets the juices flowing
snow willow
You want Target.transform.position = newPos;
snow willow
https://pastebin.com/XmfUetft
You need to assign the target in the inspector
rain ingot
someone pls halp

help
my enemy is spawning bullets inside of itself
so it keeps killling itself
and now my player does it too
it was all going fine till i started it up
snow willow
my enemy is spawning bullets inside of itself
You can try calling Physics2D.IgnoreCollision between the player and the bullet when you spawn it
still tendon
wont that ignore the enemy aswell?
this never happend nor did it happen befor ei closed unity
snow willow
No it makes two specific Colliders ignore each other
still tendon
alright how does it work
still tendon
Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(collider1, collider2)?
snow willow
Yes
snow willow
When you spawn the bullet
still tendon
?
still tendon
this script spawns the bullet???
the bullet script is what spawns it??
oh wait nvm
snow willow
That's the example code you showed right
snow willow
Yeah
still tendon
fire1
snow willow
That makes sense
still tendon
do i need to change anything
Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(bullet.GetComponent<Collider2D>(), GetComponent<Collider2D>());
player.circlecollidr2d?
snow willow
You need to give it your player's Collider and the bullets Collider
still tendon
bullet.capsulecollider2d?
snow willow
You can just use Collider2D you don't need to say the specific type
still tendon
Physics2D.IgnoreCollision(bullet.GetComponent<Bullet.CpasuleCollider2D>(), GetComponent<Player.CapsuleCollider2D>());
snow willow
But you do need to use GetComponent
snow willow
You'll need to call it for both of them then
snow willow
Call ignore collision twice
still tendon
oh
what about the 2nd option
also bullet?
yeah that makes sense
ok but uh
the enemy still fucked
it shoots inside of itself
when the pivot is infront of it
it doesnt shoot there
i have a script telling it spawn bullet there
but wait
if i do it for the enemy too
i wont be able to shoot it
snow willow
IgnoreCollision only works for the specific two Colliders you give it
You only want to call it for a bullet and the entity that fired the bullet
They will still collide with everything else
still tendon
so it doesnt work on the entire script
my robot enemy does this jiggly thing everytime he shoot sis that normal
only when he faces right

Hi, I'm a beginner in uniti, I have a problem, my character, when he collides with a wall, everything is trying to enter it exactly how to fix it in a 2D world
distant urchin
When colliding with an object, the character stops but still tries to enter the ngo but is pushed out
snow willow
Why are you ignoring collisions for both player and enemy there
still tendon
where then

picture or vid?
snow willow
Should just be one or the other depending on who is shooting it
still tendon
enemyshoot and weapon
one is for the the bot and one for th player
do i put each in those
@snow willow
distant urchin
picture or vid?
still tendon
uh what exaclty is happening in the picture?
is it not supposed to be standing inside of it?
distant urchin
so let me make a gif)
distant urchin
I don't know how to make the object harder
distant urchin
so that you cannot pass with proper acceleration
still tendon
do you want the player inside it or outside the object
still tendon
do you want the player inside it or outside the object
.
distant urchin
outside
distant urchin
collider problem
okay are there any solutions?
still tendon
tf
still tendon
tf = the fuck
distant urchin
tf
still tendon
yeah send a video please
distant urchin
yeah send a video please
And so here's the video
distant urchin
yeah sorry no clue how top down works
okay how left to right?
still tendon
basically a 2d character only moves left to right if it wants to move up it jumps
if u dont know how watch brackeys 2d movement tutorial
he also has a top down tutroial
if u want
distant urchin
Okay, I'll go and take a look
light elk
does anyone know that if 2D extras comes with unity or u have to install it?
snow willow
does anyone know that if 2D extras comes with unity or u have to install it?
I think if you create a project with the 2D template it's included automatically
snow willow
If not, everything is available in the package manager
light elk
i checked not there
i may have missed it
using unity 2019
maybe its on 202
anyways i installed it manually
its on preview only not verified
snow willow
Yeah some packages are preview packages

What would be the best way to go about making a chess board? My knowledge of unity is very limited, so I'm not even sure if this is a project that I should work on quite yet.
snow willow
What would be the best way to go about making a chess board? My knowledge of uni...
Honestly probably not the best project to start with
It's not super beginner friendly
strange echo
yeah, thought so
snow willow
Maybe start with tic tac toe
Then checkers
Then chess lol
Maybe throw connect 4 in there haha
strange echo
I already did tic tac toe
snow willow
Ah ok good

So I am having a weird issue on this asteroids clone I am making, really it's just to learn a bit about how to approach 2D games with Unity...
The problem is that the script that checks whether the players bullet collided with the gameobject or not is destroyed I cannot simply store the amount of asteroids on that gameobject, I must pass it to another script that holds all of the games information for score, lives and the remaining objects in the scene. This script is attached to the scenes camera.
Lots of stuff spawns when I am instantiating more than 1 or 2 new objects.
Asteroid code
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("playerBullet"))
{
if (this.gameObject.CompareTag("largeAsteroid"))
{
SpawnAsteroids(mediumAsteroid, 2);
GameManager.playerScore += 30; //add 30 to player score
}
else if (this.gameObject.CompareTag("mediumAsteroid"))
{
SpawnAsteroids(smallAsteroid, 2);
GameManager.playerScore += 15; //add 15 to player score
}
else if (this.gameObject.CompareTag("smallAsteroid"))
{
gm.UpdateNumberOfAsteroids(-1);
GameManager.playerScore += 5; //add 5 to player score
}
Destroy(other.gameObject); //destroy the bullet
Destroy(this.gameObject); //destroy the asteroid
gm.playAsteroidSound();
}
}
void SpawnAsteroids(GameObject asteroidType, int spawnAmount)
{
if (spawnAmount != 0)
{
gm.UpdateNumberOfAsteroids(spawnAmount - 1);
for (int i = 0; i < spawnAmount; i++)
{
Instantiate(asteroidType, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}
}
}
I have a feeling that this could be due to instantiating many prefab objects at the same time, but I don't know how else to do this.

how do i spawn gameobjects and then remove them

I'm trying to implement the ability to climb on the ladder.
The problem I have is when the player gets to the platform he get stuck.
I tried to ignore collision with the ladder and platform layers and it worked fine, but when I'm on top of the ladder (on the platform) I can't go back down the ladder.
Any idea how can I solve this issue?
fast siren
to respawn cant you just do scenemanage.loadscene("your scene"); to every enemy or thing you want to touch and die to respawn? and before you use scenemanage you have to import Unity.SceneManager

The problem I have i...
sorry i just started unity this weekend but if i were to guess if you were to collide with the ladder and press whatever you want to press (KeyDown.S) you can make the sprite's y value go down or you could just put it there until it reaches to the ground
lament oxide
Okay deleted last messages due to some confusion, I understand now... You could just extend the collider beyond the platform, and then only let the player down when he presses S or something
lament oxide
You could ignore collisions only when the player is going down the ladder... Or transform their position through the platform allowing them to jump down too
Also respawn wise you could reload the scene, but another option is just to instantiate a player prefab to a set location, and reset necessary variables such as health.
Okay last time I'll say stuff, and this is literally just because I had this problem...
If you are spawning objects and removing them, instantiating will work. But if it's spawning the same object many times then look into object pooling, it'll save a headache in the long term :)
idle wing
{
if(collision.transform.tag == "Enemy")
{
collision.transform.GetComponent<AIShipController>().Damage(LaserDamage);
}
}```Im having issues with this, it doesnt collide with the object, both objects have ridgidbodies and colliders
idle wing
Thanks, but that doesn't fix my issue
lament oxide
So are you trying to push the enemy back or just damage them?
idle wing
I'm tryna damage them
{
Health =- Damage;
Debug.Log("Hit" + Health);
}```heres the damage script on the enemyt
lament oxide
If I understand correctly, you have your script to check collisions on the enemy, then you update that damage to another script? Sorry I just want to understand the aims of it a bit more
I will try make something in a few minutes though, on phone currently
idle wing
I have a transform that when it collides with the enemie grabs the enemy script and tells it how much damage to apply
but they aint colliding
pale heart
hi. i dont know how to check if the player touch the ground. do someone know?
fast siren
sure so do you want to just hit the ground or do you want to make something happen once your player touches the ground
pale heart
just to make sure if he is on the ground or not
fast siren
you would need a box colllider 2d on the platform(ground)
you could just use debug log
and check the console
lament oxide
but they aint colliding
Unsure if this will work, too lazy to build a scene tbh.... This will at least confirm if they are colliding as I have no clue if the way you were applying damage works or not, I have never tried it that way. An alternative is to use "OnTriggerEnter2D" and set the colliders type to a trigger, it's a little checkbox in the inspector.
private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
if(collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy")
{
Debug.Log("Enemy has been shot")
private int LaserDamage = 1;
Debug.Log("Laser Damage: " LaserDamage)
Damage(LaserDamage)
}
}
public void Damage(int Damage)
{
Health =- Damage;
Debug.Log("Hit" + Health);
}
Thats baso what i just done?
lament oxide
With debug logs to show you if they are colliding in inspector, and as I said, unsure if the way you were calling your Damage function and grabbing player health works or not. Also you could use trigger areas
Just to make sure, you have set the Enemy tag on your Enemy game object?
agile atlas
does anyone know how to move a sprite that has been created with: public Sprite Album;?
idle wing

Yeah, idk why, but i just hit play without changin anything and it's working now so oof
thanks for the help
snow willow
does anyone know how to move a sprite that has been created with: public Sprite ...
Album.transform.position = ???
rain ingot
can someone help make my instance as a child
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class SpawnerScript : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject NPC;
public GameObject Canvas;
public int howMany;
void Start() {
spawn();
}
public void spawn() {
int Timer = 0;
for(Timer = 0; Timer < howMany; Timer++) {
Instantiate(NPC);
}
}
public void remove() {
GameObject.Destroy(NPC.gameObject);
}
}
how can I make my sprite a child of my game object?
snow willow
```cs
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEng...
If you pass the parent transform into Instantiate, it will become the parent of the new object
rain ingot
uhhhhh
snow willow
how can I make my sprite a child of my game object?
Album.transform.parent = whatever
snow willow
Sure, if you want the NPC to be a child of the canvas
rain ingot
ok
snow willow
it says I can't convert type sprite to transform
YOu can't
you can only set another transform as the parent
agile atlas
but I don't know how to set the transform of a sprite
I thought I needed a gameobject
snow willow
Sounds like AlbumImg is a Sprite, which is just a file asset in your project
so it doesn't make sense
snow willow
but I don't know how to set the transform of a sprite
Share your code maybe?
agile atlas
public GameObject Album;
public Sprite AlbumImg;
Album.transform.parent = AlbumImg;
my goal is to transform.position = new Vector2(2,5);
snow willow
That's like trying to set the parent of the album to an image file on your computer
Sprite is not an actual part of a GameObject in the world, it's just an image file
snow willow
my goal is to transform.position = new Vector2(2,5);
Then just do Album.transform.position = new Vector2(2, 5); ?
agile atlas
but then there is no img
snow willow
I don't understand
Are you trying to figure out how to display your image in the game?
agile atlas
I'm trying to create sprites with code so I don't have to move everything into the hierarchy
and I want to parent with code so I don't have to manage it with the unity ui
snow willow
Generally you use prefabs for that
and you can assign a sprite image to either a SpriteRenderer or a UI Image component
either of which can be parented in code
but you cannot parent a Sprite directly, since it's just an image file
agile atlas
ok thanks
fast siren
so once i collide with the box collider with this code
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
public class tptolvl2 : MonoBehaviour
{
void tp(){
SceneManager.LoadScene("lvl2");
}
}```
it wont let me go to the scenei also have this so i dont know what is wrong

Are you calling that function anywhere?
fast siren
no
