float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); //Checks for forward/backwards movement on a keyboard or controller.
float z = Input.GetAxis("Vertical"); //Checks for movements on the sides.
Vector3 move = transform.right * x + transform.forward * z; //Defines what MOVE is
"YOUR PLAYER GAME OBJECT".Move(move * speed * Time.deltaTime);
``` This code might workshooters are my most fun type of game dev
signal aspen
you might wanna use vector 2 tho
jovial cedar
unity is full of ways to move things around :d
jovial cedar
this is mine, but you could also use transform.Translate()
thorn dirge
```
float x = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal"); //Checks for forward/backward...
you can use
Vector2 Movement;
Rigebody2D rb;
Movement.x = Input(blah blah blah)
Movement.y = Input.(same thing)
rb.Moveposition
uhhh
wait limme try and remember
its been long since I did a top down shooter
ah yes rb.Moveposition( Movment * speed) * Time.deltatime
thorn dirge
probably got it wrong
thorn dirge
ok take your time

@inner vine also, try to follow the lords tutorial... Brackeys 2d series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on9nwbZngyw&list=PLPV2KyIb3jR6TFcFuzI2bB7TMNIIBpKMQ&ab_channel=Brackeys
he covers everything
thorn dirge
<@!595361904730570778> also, try to follow the lords tutorial... Brackeys 2d ser...
this one is out dated
like still have somethings but pretty outdatted
I recommend using the unity tutorial playlist
I think this one will lead to the entire playlist
yeah unity covers almost all the basic c sharp programming things so I recommend that tutorial since its the most reliable
inner vine
<@!595361904730570778> also, try to follow the lords tutorial... Brackeys 2d ser...
ok
nvm ill just find a dif one that is not that outdated
thorn dirge
the unity tutorials explain them very clearly
the brackeys tutorial cover the intermediate things about unity like shooting and ui
if you want to learn unity like a master I recommend an underrated youtuber called code monkey
his tutorials are 20 minutes long but the code is simple enough to modify but not understand
inner vine
can you send me to a tutorial of him with a 2d platformer?
thorn dirge
can you send me to a tutorial of him with a 2d platformer?
there is not really a 2d platformer
I haven't seen a better tutorial of it
but he did make an excellent top down shooter
brackey mainly focus on the other aspects of unity like homing missles
so I guess you will have to make the 2d code yourself
thorn dirge
yes
inner vine
OMG LOL
HE DIDNT EVEN MAKE ART OR CODE IN THAT TUTORIAL ALL HE DID WAS THIS

There is no "best" way, but a common way is to make it as a separate scene that loads before your main game scenes

its the same thing as OnColliderEnter2D
but it hits multiple times
or you can
OnColliderEnter2D(stuff)

OnColliderExit2D(stuff)
{
(unparent)
}
thorn dirge
so it's basically its own Update function
ye
I think you should use the OnColliderExit way
obsidian smelt
when it sets the player as a child it still bounces
I saw something saying to attack the player to the platform
would that be making it a child
nvm

how do i fix?
snow willow
```rb.velocity.y = movement;```
also that code's not gonna work
Vector3 vel = rb.velocity;
vel.y = movement;
rb.velocity = vel;
srry srry wasnt paying attention to the other stuffs
inner vine
```cs
Vector3 vel = rb.velocity;
vel.y = movement;
rb.velocity = vel;
```
put it to this?
inner vine
that will not work. Try it
can you show what the places i should replace?
snow willow
can you show what the places i should replace?
jsut replace your line with my code
line 19
inner vine
snow willow
you need to use all of the code I gave
snow willow
oh frick
that's from some other code you added.
And you've simply misspelled Vector2
inner vine
should i replace vector 3 with vector 2?
inner vine
ok
snow willow
The error messages have line numbers on them. Look at the line to see where the error is
inner vine
oh frick
snow willow
oh wait
my bad
yeah use Vector2 instead of Vector3
I didn't notice this is 2D physics
Vector2 vel = rb.velocity;
vel.y = movement;
rb.velocity = vel;```
snow willow
oh
movement is a Vector2 now
then you just do rb.velocity = movement;
instead of all 3 of those lines
brisk flame
the problem is that you are trying to put movement (which is a vector2) into vel.y which is a float
snow willow
I was under the impression that movement was a float for some reason
brisk flame
i think you can use vel.y = movement.y
let me know if this works
ALSO - make sure to write FixedUpdate correctly using PascalCase
brisk flame
how do i fix this?
Any luck?
@inner vine if it doesn't work please try to use the following: https://hatebin.com/kgtcgczqnf
make sure to change the class name to your script name
inner vine
then you just do `rb.velocity = movement;`
inner vine
i think you can use vel.y = movement.y
on witch line?

You're having some basic structural issues with your code. You should go through some basic C# tutorials so you understand what on earth you're looking at

press on the Movement component to expand it
then set the speed to 5

Hello, i got a quick question
So I have a situation where you can pick up objects with the mouse and let them go by releasing the mouse
Right now, wherever the player is at you can move the pickup object anywhere on the screen
Is it possible to limit where the pickup can be moved to? Like, make it so you can only drop it within a certain distance of the player?
This is my current code for the picking up: The script is attached to the pickup object
abstract olive
Sure, though it would take a bit of work.
The idea is pretty straight forward though:
- Get the distance between the mouse and the player
In Range:
- If it's less than a value (range), then allow the position to match the mouse as normal
Out Range:
- If it's greater, than get the direction to the mouse from the player
- Normalize that direction and multiply it by the range value
- Set the position of the item to be the playerPosition + direction
hollow badge
So looking over my code, literally the only thing that stops my horizontal momentum/movement could be the rigidbody/collider's collision. No code(on my side) involved.
What could be the problem here? It runs smooth over a random number of platforms(anywhere from 1 to 50), maintaining a constant speed, and then eventually gets stuck on the next/upcoming platform until i drop said platform down a pixel.
i just checked the rigidbody.velocity.x and it is cycling between 10 and 0, due to my code accelerating it to 10 and the rigidbody decreasing it to 0 so it doesnt clip. Does anyone have an explanation why it is colliding despite clearly not crossing the other collider?
for reference, if i jump, he continues as normal, and eventually gets stuck again. the platforms are transform.position changed only in the x dimension, endless-runner style
inner vine
oh wait

hollow badge
i tried putting in some good effort to explain my problem, anything im missing that would be helpful?
i had this exact same problem a year ago when i gave up on learning bahaha. different platformer prototype, same issue
well i have a current workaround where it checks if velocity is 0 and moves the player up .000000001f and it fixes the issue fast enough that you dont notice him stopping and resets the velocity to 10. idk man it just sounds like a unity problem to me considering all 3 platforms are spawned in the exact same Y position and it randomly decides to get stuck, changes every time.

does any movement work and just jump doesnt?

its ok im thinkin bout it
you are using spacebar right? and edit > project settings > input manager > axes > jump is configured correctly?
thats all i can think of
unless maybe your collider in unity is huge and getting stuck in stuff, idk
sorry, im pretty scrub so idk
hollow badge
thats all i got buddy, idk what the problem is. tried looking it over but im too scrub to figure it out 🤷♂️
maybe send a screenshot of the movement script in the inspector for good measure though
hollow badge
moving script* in inspector, on the gameobject
inner vine
you mean the player?
hollow badge
yea
inner vine
hollow badge
something wrong here. the script you sent was "moving" but the script on the player is "movement"
so either way, you gotta add the "moving" script to the player gameobject
inner vine
OH FRICK
THEN ITS THE WRONG SCRIPT
i had a script named movement but i was not planing on using it
i was actually gonna delete it
thats why
frick

yea after swapping scripts, youll need to reassign the scripts variables in the ...
the reason why that script was there was bc my power went out
and i forgot to save
inner vine
yea after swapping scripts, youll need to reassign the scripts variables in the ...
also im fricking dumb and idk how to do that
let me guess more coding : (
hollow badge
in unity > select the player > look at inspector > look at "moving" script > see "none" in the rigidbody variable > drag the "rigidbody 2d" in said inspector window into the "none" space
hollow badge
could be wrong on that one, and if im wrong, then indeed it takes more coding
inner vine
select the player means the model right?
hollow badge
select the player gameobject in the hierarchy or the scene yea
something like this basically. there should be a "rb none" space in your "moving" (script) that you drag the rigidbody 2d into
but idk if that works tbh
i just assume it does
hollow badge
yup
imo before continuing any tutorial i have a recommendation
im basically fresh out of this tutorial series
probably the best iv ever taken
be patient and literally watch the videos and try and understand what is going on BEFORE you do it yourself
if you rush then it wont sink in and youll forget steps down the line
i had college classes and boot camp classes related to programming and they wernt as good as that series, legit

VS Code should be properly underlining that error in red
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/other/unity it mustn't be properly configured as it's not doing that

it should show a red underline where the issue is

Hi guys,
I am making a 2D game just like Terrarian.
I see there are two options for player movement now
- Use kinematic Rigid Body and self-control player position
- Use dynamic Rigid Body
What is the Pros and Cons of that?
loud dawn
what am i supposed to do
nova remnant
I got this problem here... I make the white ball track the mouse by adding movement towards it, then the camera tracks the white ball. I also made the player(dynamic rigidbody) able to collide with the static wall. I want to make it so the white ball can crash against walls so people can't zoom past them, but it's already got a dynamic collider and it isnt colliding against the wall. However, it does crash against the player and can even move him around, which i definetevely do not want. How can I avoid this, while making it collide with walls?

You'll have to start moving it with forces or at least setting velocity

hello, i need help for a little problem (for you i think but big for me)
I make ...
You just need to make sure those things initialize properly when loading the game from a save
Normally alot of those things would just be in your scene and not related to the save load system
rocky mirage
hum so if i make in any scene this , no problem ? but i use DontDestroyOnLoad, so when i make them on scene a have 2 time sound and other things
cause i didnt find other system for having my audio and my deathcounter on everyscene alltime, if i dont do that they reload at ever scene

im not sure if here is the place to ask- im a bit new here

and i cant modify the camera either soo what am i doing wrong here?
ermmm anyone?

Question, how do i access IsMine in GridElement.cs using the coord?
from Populate.cs
rocky mirage
yea but you need to create a public
public GridElement instance ;
private void Awake()
{instance=this;}
timber bramble
within GridElement?
rocky mirage
and with that you can use instance on your script
in your GridElement script you need to create this instance
for using IsMIne on you other script
timber bramble
im having trouble understanding
both the reason for "instance" within a script, and the definition of instance
rocky mirage
hum. instance is used for take something on your script for other script
so if on your GridElement you creat this void for instance
you can use your IsMine on your script Populate.cs
timber bramble
does that mean, i have to create another class to take in xcoord & ycoord?
to return true or false?
rocky mirage
where is your "mineCheck"?
GridElement script?
ok so your mine check is on isCellMine
do you creat the void awake instance?
timber bramble
uh, no?
rocky mirage
you need it, if you dont create this public GridElement instance ; private void Awake() {instance=this;} you cant use your isMine
rocky mirage
if you want to use something to your script GridElement on other script
you need to do GridElement.Instance.isMine for exemple
so you mineCheck is what?
you use mineCheck somewhere?
timber bramble
basically, it's a code to check the surrounding coord if there's any mines, if so, add 1 to the counter, and after double forloop is over, it will print out the total of mines into the cell
rocky mirage
and on your error can you show me the line Populate.mineCheck ?
rocky mirage
and on GridElement.cs you have my private void awake instance=this; ?
rocky mirage
its instance not Instance
timber bramble
problem still remains the same
rocky mirage
btw did you link visual studio to unity ? you have lot of things on white and no error return
timber bramble
i did?
i opened the script from unity, and it just open the script on vs
or am i doing it the wrong way?
rocky mirage
and you quote mineCheck=gridElement
he dont know what is mineCheck
cause is quoted
mineCheck=gridElement.instance.isMine(row,col)
timber bramble
well, i didnt know which kind of code am i suppose to type, in order to get isMine from gridelement, so i typed it, and due to error, i quoted it, for at least i know where to work around with and from
rocky mirage
btw your if i think you dont need it, cause you make if its true=true, else false=false
after maybe my explication is really bad cause im not really good at english and not pro dev atm :/ so i hope other one can help you more than me.
jsut for me you need instance for using your isMine to your script for other script
timber bramble
honestly
i have absolutely no clue where in the hell am i trying to write this code, or what so ever, because my fking lecture wanted this code to be in this way
rocky mirage
i think you have prob with your minecheck
timber bramble
because in my brain, i have no idea how am i suppose to implement it
timber bramble
anyone mind helping me out with stupid code? 😄

weak sinew
i created a new scene and i can still see the old scene?
is this just not a possible fix?
weak sinew
or do I need to edit the camera or something?
rapid ibex
did you select the old scene after creating it?
weak sinew
no
@rapid ibex
Wait would moving the camera in the new scene work? That seems wrong though, cause then it would still be generating the old scene at the same time right?
rapid ibex
try just deleting the new scene and making another new scene to see if it fixes it. you can select the camera to see what the camera is showing on the bottom right to see if it's showing nothing in the game view like it should be or if its still showing whats in the old game. if worst comes to worst you can delete one item from the new scene and see if it affects anything in the old scene, if it doesn't affect anything in the old scene then just delete everything in the new scene
weak sinew
I haven't put anything in the new scene and I've tried all of the things. The new scene's camera displays the same thing as the old one's, execpt the bg color is different because I changed the old scenes bg color
abstract olive
Just to be clear, how are you creating this new scene?
abstract olive
And how are you opening this new scene?
weak sinew
And then I grabbed it and dragged it up
abstract olive
Right, so this is a misunderstanding of scenes.
weak sinew
then I clicked on it and the camera bg color changed
weak sinew
Right, so this is a misunderstanding of scenes.
oh
abstract olive
Scenes are just containers for game objects. You can have multiple of them in the hierarchy.
If you want to edit a scene independently, just open it up from the project folder.
abstract olive
Just double click the scene in your Project folder to open it up.
weak sinew
i don't think I have made a project folder
abstract olive
weak sinew
oh
abstract olive
It's where you've been dragging the scene out into the hierarchy. Instead of dragging it out, just double click to open.
abstract olive
If this is all new to you, you should consider doing some beginner tutorials. This is basic Unity workflow stuff.

I'm trying to get my character to be pulled toward a branch when near one and when he holds down the right mouse button. the check is to make sure he is in range of the trigger in order to use the ability, but the best thing that happens when I press the right mouse button when in range of the branch is that it teleports me back to spawn.
I'm mostly unsure how to make the tether pull me towards that specific branch in range and not towards one of the other branches that are set as a prefab.

You can use the Collider2D parameter from OnTriggerEnter to save a reference to the branch
rapid ibex
im not sure how you would go about doing that, nor am I super clear on what you mean.
I feel like I understand what your saying but I'm unsure how to pass the location of that specific branch when entering the trigger zone. I was thinking having an empty game object in the center of the branch but I'm unsure how to pass the location of the nearest branch

@coral dock first line in Update(), UtilsClass.GetMouseWorldPosition, you need to add the namespace wheret the UtilsClass exist, or it might be your project is missing the UtilsClass script
soft pike
can you post the UtilsClass, looking at the error in console, unity cannot find the UtilsClass, so either the namespace missing or the script itself
@cinder valley whats the error/issue you're trying to solve?
cinder valley
well... um... it shoots... but it just appears and immediately disappears
soft pike
okay makes sense, in your Bullet_script classs, FixedUpdate(), rb.velocity is being set every frame
and its not frame independent, you might want to multiply the movement with Time.fixedDeltaTime

what would i put for input if i wanted the animation to play when i hold down left click
right now its just click i cant hold

how would i go about doing that

@lilac folio If you don't have answers, please don't spam the channels.
lilac folio
ok
lean estuary
@coral dock You can flip a bool on ButtonDown event and then wait for ButtonUp one to release it.
soft pike
@coral dock you can get the events with GetMouseButtonDown & GetMouseButtonUp, so between Down & Up, you know the player is holding
coral dock
like this?, sorry very new to coding
soft pike
you have duplicate checks, but yeah this should work
lilac folio
<@!714788560296738836> If you don't have answers, please don't spam the channels...
lol look
soft pike
no that wont work, you can trigger your hold anim on Down, and stop the hold anim on Up, but make these 2 separate if checks
and ofcourse you can play your shoot anim on Down
coral dock
so the one i currently have will trigger it?
soft pike
yup thats right
coral dock
but as of rn when i click in game or hold it plays the animation once and wont loop it
im looking to loop the animation until i stop holding
lilac folio
try looping the animation and stopping it when you stop holding the mouse0
soft pike
yup, think you're using mecanim, it does have looping flag to enable
lean estuary
Additionally, if you want to make sure that animation loop finished playing, you can use animation event placed at the end of the clip timeline to check if it should flip looping state or just interrupting animation.

I'm building a game that looks like WhatsApp and I have added the functionality to pan and zoom images. I'm wondering how to add inertia to an image, so that when the players pans the image, the movement doesn't stop immediately as the player releases his finger from the screen but decelerates after the finger is released and slowly stops to move. How can I create this effect?

I've added a Rigidbody to the image game object and put this in my code:

Doesn't seem like the right direction. You don't need to use the physics engine to just get a basic velocity/acceleration paradigm. Also that code doesn't make a lot of sense

Snappy is a really abstract concept. But generally just increase the speed of the animation.

thanks it's just for punches with are two images.. it just seems when i attack it doesnt keep up with me if you know what i mean.. i'll try adjusting the animation then 🙂

It's a thing. That will determine how "cancelable" an animation is

You want each of them to have a line connected to the main one?
You could do it either with one linerenderer per non-main city
or get a little more complicated adding a lot of vertices to a single LineRenderer
e.g.
maincity -> city1 -> maincity -> city2 -> maincity -> city3
craggy panther
Ah ok, I think the best "maybe" would be for each outlying to have its own.

Yes the LineRenderer has a material field
you can put any material there you want
craggy panther
Correct, I'm talking about it doing that from code. I have the code creating the line renderer, but when it does it doesn't assign it a texture for some reason.
Wait I'm dumb, I can do a public materail.
snow willow
alternatively, put the LineRenderer on your prefab in the editor, just disabled
then you can freely configure it from the editor
and just enable the LR when you place the city

Hi! I am making a 2d platformer and I was playing arround with the classic mechanic of jumping ontop of an enemy to kill it. But I am having a problem. I have given my player the "player" tag and I have created an empty game object with a box collider as a children of the player with the tag "player feet". Then in my enemy I have added an OnCollisionEnter2D that checks if it has been hit by another collider with the tag "player" then do damage to the player, if it has been hit from a collider with the "player feet" tag then get destroyed. The problem is that it doesn't get destroyed. I have checked the tag (player feet), I have renamed it , i have put a diffrent tag but still it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

A few things going on here that can be fixed. Not sure which one is specifically causing your problem. For one, I think you're misusing collision.contacts
left lotus
I mean the idea of it. .contacts gets you the contact points of a single collision
It's probably not the sort of thing you want to use for colliding against many objects

raycast a circle and destroy the tiles inthere would work better?

How could i compare two colliders so when they collide something happens?
Also the script is in neither the colliders, its in a overallcame controller
snow willow
Also the script is in neither the colliders, its in a overallcame controller
Unity only sends Collision messages to objects involved in the collision. So you'll need at least one script on one of the objects involved in the collision
You can use that Script to notify your game controller though
earnest wind
How can i do that?
snow willow
Call a function on your gane controller from inside OnCollisionEnter in a script on one of the colliding objects

I'm having some oddities with a 2D sprite animation looping that I don't want to loop. I've unchecked Loop Time on that animation, which seems like the most common cause of this, but it's not stopping my animation from looping. This is just a simple Unity animation with an animation controller. All my animation is doing is periodically changing which sprite is rendered in a sprite renderer.
Oh nevermind. I'm a dolt.
I forgot to disable "Can transition to self" for that state.
