dashLength

or dashCooldown

[still tendon]

Dash cooldown

[snow willow]

because I think your cooldown is still counting down while you're dashing

[still tendon]

How could i change that ?

[snow willow]

don't count down the cooldown if you're currently dashing

[plain mortar]

To me it looks like it's supposed to work that way. Bottom player starts moving and will eventually trigger a button while top player starts moving and there's no platform there yet.

[lean pecan]

yeah it's supposed to work like that, tis completely logical. I was just asking for some thoughts on how I'd change that 😄

I did end up fixing it

well, that part at least

there are more problems but I'm working on that rn

[plain mortar]

Cool

I'm working with tilemap tryiing to get what tile the mouse is over, I have

        void Update() {

            Vector3 mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
            Vector3 p = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(mousePos.x, mousePos.y, Camera.main.nearClipPlane));
            tilemap.SetTile(tilemap.WorldToCell(p), tiles[0]);
            tilemap.RefreshTile(tilemap.WorldToCell(p));


        }

But it seems to only be changing the tile at the center of the Camera (Be it a tile off depending on where the mouse is)

I got it, I just had to change the Camera's clipping planes

[runic sluice]

Does anyone knows how to do this ship movement similar to geometry dash

[keen hemlock]

hi folks! I am having trouble with placing a ui component on top of a gameobject. i am doing the following:

   Vector3 screenPos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
   Debug.Log("target is " + screenPos.x + " pixels from the left and " + screenPos.y + " from bottom");
   TextInfoSalvage = Instantiate(TextInfoSalvagePrefab, new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, go.GetComponent<gameScript>().CanvasMainGame.transform);
   TextInfoSalvage.GetComponent<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition = screenPos;

The TextUI appears way off though, way too far to the right and way to the far up... what am i doing wrong here?

[faint sparrow]

https://gist.github.com/FlaShG?page=2https://gist.github.com/FlaShG?page=2 i found this, its usefull placing ui object base on world position, and its no license so you can use freely

[knotty barn]

its no license so you can use freely
If by no license you mean there isn't any license attached to it, that doesn't mean you have the right to use it. By default the author keeps the rights to his work.
Now odds are these gists aren't a showcase and are meant to be used freely.

Seeing a picture online without any license attached to it doesn't mean you can put it into your game.

Hey everyone, I've come across a bit of a problem. Sorry if this is simple I haven't been using Unity for that long
Every time I start my 2D game I have this error:

StackOverflowException: The requested operation caused a stack overflow.
UnityEngine.CanvasRenderer.SetColor {UnityEngine.Color color} (at <142f2174e7204fd9ba9bab141f8454ed>:0)

I've tried looking up other cases of this error but in the ones that I found, the end tells you where the bug is in the code, while here it just says a series of random symbols.

After a bit of playing sometimes Unity crashes and I can only guess it's because of this error, and because other reports of the error have said that Unity crashes because of it.

My canvas has some text, 3 buttons, and a settings menu with 2 checkboxes.
Here is my code: https://pastebin.com/Dc5jBM2J
It runs each time one of the checkbox (toggle) is clicked in the settings menu. I made it so they can't both be enabled at the same time.

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance :)

[gray brook]

Stack overflow sounds like there is some kind of infinite loop, but gimme a minute to read your code

[kind sphinx]

ok

you can also get the super long player_movement script if you'd like lol

[gray brook]

What is that code trying to do?

[ruby karma]

Is that the full error?

[still tendon]

Can anyone help with my issue ? I want a cursor sprite to move with my mouse but insttead it does everything inverted. I move up it moves down. I move left it moves right. Thanks in advance

[kind sphinx]

the code is

1. setting the control scheme as whichever checkbox is clicked
2. if the other checkbox is clicked, it unclicks it

[kind sphinx]

yes

wait I might've found it

might've lol

woooo so I found the error: when it changes it I made it turn thisOne.isOn = true, which made it call the valueChanged function again, which turned it on again, which called it again, etc, etc

I forgot that if the function was called it meant that the value was already changed

thanks everyone who helped

[still tendon]

Im gonna be honest i took this off the internet and have no idea how to set it up. Can anyone help ?

[misty vine]

Learn the fundamentals of C# programming first. Not being able to spot what the problem here is means you're going to run into much bigger problems when you get an error that isn't one of the simplest things 🙂

[snow willow]

You didn't copy it correctly, or it was wrong to begin with, or it's an old JavaScript example, or all 3

[still tendon]

Help! I don't know why there is jittering.

[misty vine]

Because you're constantly moving left into the wall, and physics is pushing you back to where you should be

[snow willow]

You're probably directly translating a Rigidbody

Which leads to what SiJiL said

[still tendon]

So how do I fix it?

[snow willow]

Move Rigidbodies with forces or by setting their velocity

Don't move their Transform directly

[still tendon]

Ok

I'll try that Thx

[still tendon]

move by physics and not transfomr

[runic sluice]

Is this ok?

I did the shark model

Does anyone knows how to do a infinite background?

[harsh galleon]

So if i'm understanding 2d tilemap & the collision, I have to have a Tilemap for stuff that doesn't collide and another for one that does?

[still tendon]

How could i change these boxcolliders too boxcollider2D's without getting errors

The error in question

[snow willow]

[finite ruin]

Anyone have recommendations on how to make a modular unit?
I'm trying to make for example a unit that has a weapon and wheels.
There could be 100x different weapons and 100x different wheels. What I'm thinking I may do is have a prefab structure like this:
-Unit
-Weapon
-Machine Gun prefab
-Transportation
-Regular Wheels

Then swap out the prefabs under Transportation and Weapon?

What do you guys think about how to do this?

[arctic stag]

That could work. Or you can use scriptable objects based on the load out that is needed(which is what I use) the difference isn’t that much other than scalability.

[finite ruin]

For a scriptable object though, how would I swap out animations?

[arctic stag]

Just like a game object. You can assign the animation in the SO

If you create a place for it anyway

[finite ruin]

Righto. I'll look into those, thank you!

Scriptable would be more scalable?

[arctic stag]

Yes

[finite ruin]

Awesome, any recommended reading/tutorials?

Thank you very much!

[arctic stag]

I learnt about them by just using them but anything from brackeys is usually a good start to a subject. So this vid: https://youtu.be/aPXvoWVabPY

[dreamy fractal]

ok, so this is my first time creating a 2d game, and i need to know, how do i create top-down movemnt with a rb? i think i hvae the code figured out, but i need to know how to keep the player from having gravity

[abstract olive]

Turn off gravity on the rigidbody component.

[dreamy fractal]

ok

[solemn latch]

I disagree. Brackeys videos tend to teach things very badly, leave out a lot of stuff, and send people here asking 'I followed a brakey's tutorial and it doesn't work!'

[upbeat sinew]

Hey Everyone 👋

I asked a few days ago so I apologize if I missed a response, in any case I am wondering if someone would be able to link me to a tile generation tutorial which applies for isometric tilemaps.

Would really appreciate it 👍

[snow willow]

I have no problem with Brackeys except for that one cursed video that has everyone writing this cursed mouse look code:

float mouseX = Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") * mouseSensitivity * Time.deltaTime;

I wish he would've fixed that

it has led to so much agony

[upbeat sinew]

@solemn latch do you have an alternate recommendation? Brackeys was nice for beginning

[solemn latch]

No specific one, but like PraetorBlue said his videos are full of stuff like that.

After this one animation tutorial he did literally 3/4 of the new people posting in the 2d channels were about 'why tutorial not work'

[upbeat sinew]

Was it outdated code or simply wrong?

[solemn latch]

Sometimes they are wrong, sometimes he just leaves parts out or references resources without linking them.

Or he just gives code without explaining it and when you try to adapt it it breaks completely.

[upbeat sinew]

yeah explanations are pretty lacking that's fair

can't speak to it's efficiency yet I'm quite new with unity, just came from unreal and I can't believe I wasted time there -_-

found a tut btw 🙂

[limber ore]

Hi everyone 🙂 First time using a Unity script here. I have trouble animating the second jump (so the character does jump twice, but the second jump won't animate, even when I place it in various locations in the code). Secondly, I don't understand where in the code I can change how the character falls after a jump (they are floating too much and too far after jumps), or how 'far' they can jump. Any help would be greatly appreciated: https://hatebin.com/pqvgpytvur 🙂

The first jump is animated, but the second jump is playing it again but not from the beginning but continued from the first (so it looks like they are leaping twice without ever going into idle stance and then jumping again).

[solemn latch]

How is your animator set up?

[limber ore]

with animator do you mean this?

[solemn latch]

Yes

So you have any state to jump, so and you set the trigger for jumping every time you hit the button, so it has no reason to go to idle state if you hit the button twice

I'd avoid setting the trigger until you actually know that jumping is possible

[limber ore]

Let me see if it works if I change it from Idle -> Jump instead of Any -> Jump

Oh my. God. I spent 10 hours messing with the code

And it was an animator thing

Would the fall from a jump, so it 'floating' be an animator thing too or would that be in my code? So when I jump while pushing <- or -> arrows they float, which I want to limit and have them fall down faster

I have tried to mess with it in the code but I don't understand the lines I guess

so where exactly that would take place

[solemn latch]

I can take a look in a bit

[limber ore]

ty!

[solemn latch]

This is the problem with code you don't understand 😛

[limber ore]

yessssssss exactly lol I tried to look into the guidebook but I am missing something

as in, I just don't get it, I think I know where it is happening but, when I change the values nothing happens

my code is a frankenstein abomination of like 10 different snippets, so I may have just lost track of it mentally as well

I am so rusty in coding

[snow shoal]

how do i make my character stick to a moving platform?

[solemn latch]

@limber ore The floating is probably because your left/right movement is completely unrelated to your grounded check

And yeah, it's a total frankenstein

[limber ore]

@solemn latch I see! I will have to try to figure out how to relate them then somehow. I appreciate you taking a look 🙂

I guess frankenstein creations are normal if you are doing something new lol

[upbeat sinew]

Have managed to get a grid generated, am stalling at 2500 tiles, can anyone recommend a general size for these kinds of games? I should be using lower quality tiles perhaps?

[upbeat sinew]

Would also like to load the map in the background of some simple scene animation.

[upbeat sinew]

I can't seem to get the tiles smaller than 750 bytes, is that a normal size perhaps or very large for a tile sprite?

[solemn latch]

I haven't really done anything with tiles

[upbeat sinew]

No pressure for any single user 🙂

[solemn latch]

Just didn't want it to seem like you were being ignored while we talked about other stuff 😄

[knotty barn]

@upbeat sinew Are you using the Tilemap system?

[native pelican]

Here's my mobile game. As you can see, everything is a little stretched vertically. How do I fix that? Also, I don't want the app to be in fullscreen, as I want to avoid the space with the phone's round edges and the camera. But I'm not sure how to modify Unity settings in order to achieve that.

[lyric crag]

hey i want to check if at the marked position Tilemap tile exists or not

the case i marked it should return false

is there any way to do it?

like check all layers at once

[still tendon]

it shows my character in the scene

but not in the game itself

anybody any idea how this is possible?

[lyric crag]

check your z axis with camera

[sullen isle]

so i have a few different shapes of sprites with each having a different shape of a collider. Now i'm using a polygon collider to represent the shapes and i update the colliders points based on what sprite it has. I was wondering if this is a good practice? or would it be better to have a new game object for each of the sprites with different colliders better (this might make the collider shapes fit better)? or is there maybe a better way of swapping colliders in runtime?

[iron coral]

Quick question, I haven't used unity in months : does position matter for 2d colliders ? Like if a box is on one plan and another shape on another plane, do they collide ?

Or it doesn't matter, as long as the layers they're affected to can interact ?

[snow willow]

Z position doesn't matter for Colliders

It matters for rendering though

[iron coral]

And how about in a 3d project ? Does it still not matter ?

welp, it doesn't matter either

Thanks

I've been trying to figure out how to use 3d colliders with a tilemap, because i remembered doing so in a previous project, but it turns out I never did such thing and always used 2d colliders for that :T

[snow willow]

There's no difference between a 2d and 3d project

But there's a difference between 2D and 3d physics

There will be no interaction between 2d and 3d physics objects

3d Colliders cannot interact with tilemap Colliders or any other 2d Collider

[opal socket]

2d and 3d physics are separate systems

But there’s no difference between them

[snow shoal]

help please

[gray brook]

You could temporarily make the character a child object, you could mirror the motion, there are a few ways

[snow shoal]

when i made the character a child object it didn't allow the character to move and it made him bigger

[azure acorn]

What is the best way to simulate 2D liquids?
1. Particle+colider based
2. Cell based, like e.g. Noita
3. Heightmap based???

[still tendon]

is it possible to have lighting similiar to terraria/starbound

..without coding my own lighting system

[still tendon]

apparently not
i guess i will stop what im doing because the end result is gonna look like shit no matter what

[sinful plaza]

Depends on what you're doing, I guess. 1 could work well as an accurate representation in 3D space. 2 and 3 seem in many ways the same, but dealing in different dimensions. I'm currently using 3 to do hydraulic erosion on a terrain heightmap, but it also works very well as fluid simulation (example games would be Cites: Skylines and Creeper World series)

[snow shoal]

i spent a long time trying to figure out how to make my character stick to a platform, the problem is: i was parenting the player to the platform every frame, when i am supposed to do it only when the player first touches the platform. XD

[tight otter]

I am making a Texture2D that has a size of 8x8 (pixels) and i want it for a Sprite of 80 x 80, but unity tells me that

https://pastebin.com/5M4rcGG5

[azure acorn]

Well kind of the thing im going for is to have scenes where the water is rushing in from the side, the game is going to be about a planet where the tides are so large, that they will kill you if you don't get to a high place, when they come, and i'm building around that, so i need to have some water simulation

it's also pixel art, so that is why i was thinking of noita

The particle one seems the best, because it can cause sort of crashing waves and things like that, but i would need to figure out, how to make the player actually "be in water"

the height map one has the benefit of being easy to implement in my opinion

and really fast

[gentle apex]

Hey, I don't know where I should put this videos, but i need help. I have visual bug, same game, different devices.
This green trail is invisible on one of the devices, and I don't know how to fix it.

I don't know if it's problem with position Z or other transform parameters.

[snow shoal]

nvm

[sinful plaza]

if its from the side view the height map would be very simple, only 1 dimension+height needed and and can yet produce very nice waves. But yes the drawback would be that it's restricted to 1 dimension only. Noita-like physics handles e.g. waterfalls and single droplets of water very well, but it won't flow upwards from pressure (at least in the game).

[chrome anchor]

My object does not move or do anything when clicked on from a script

[gentle apex]

Ok, my problem is solved, i had to change transform.position.z to -1 and save prefab, sorry for problems.

[slate parrot]

How do I detect if a GameObject is already in a certain spot? Example if (GameObject in x, y, z pos)

I know that doesn't work. That's my issue. There's no "in"

Maybe make a check? Like, when an object is spawned, also spawn a "check" object and if there's a "check" there, skip it

[glossy pebble]

Is there a way to run calculations using a Vector2? I'm trying to check if there's a force applied to a rigidbody and run an animation.

[golden patio]

what happened to this 😠

it was anchored then when i played it it moved

[cloud maple]

Heya all. Anyone got any good tips on how to approach movement in a isometric 2D Grid? I see a lot of code solving movement in grid by just moving a set distance depending on grid size but I feel there should be some more natural way of getting the tile in the adjacent grid and moving to that tile?

[azure acorn]

If i want to render individual pixels so i can make something like falling sand, then what is the best way to render them? Probably not a grid right?

[misty vine]

Particle effects probably.

Unless you want those pixels to then form a landscape that you can walk on. Then you'll need something more complex. Although you could use particle effects and when a particle dies it spawns a prefab.

[faint sparrow]

maybe you can give more detail of it, such as canvas setting, and how your UI object looks in hiearcy before press play

[dusky magnet]

Hey

I am stuck at figuring out how to get Width of a spriteRenderer object

i want to spawn something at random X axist based on that object postion

float randomX = Random.Range(0 - sprite.sprite.bounds.size.x * 4, sprite.sprite.bounds.size.x / 2);
Vector2 pos = new Vector2(randomX, transform.position.y - sprite.bounds.size.y);
Instantiate(ball, pos, transform.rotation);

For whatever reason this almost works...It is missing like 5% on the right side

[arctic wren]

What approach would you recommend to make a Cave / Dungeon in a 2d survival game ?
I'd like to have a Cave whose entrance would be in the normal game world, but upon entering
the player will only be able to move inside of the cave - the entire surroundings, minimap etc should
change to only display the cave, then when the player exits the cave he returns to the normal game world.
One way to do it would be to have the cave disabled in the game world and upon entering it would be enabled
and the rest of the world in turn will be hidden, but I'd like to learn if there is some more clever
solution / if any of you have experience with a similar thing. Thanks for response

[robust socket]

Hi all, hope you can help, I am new to unity, how do I create a 2D program where I have an image as the background then have interactive areas where I can click on certain parts and change the colours or look of certain parts, so jpg base static image and swap out png files over the top by clicking buttons

[faint sparrow]

i think sprite.bounds.x * 2 are the width of sprite

[dusky magnet]

@faint sparrow There is no such thing as bounds.x, only bounds.size.x

and I am using it, but it is still not creating object at the far right of that sprite(spawner)

[faint sparrow]

imean that, if im not wrong, so its the half size of sprite on x, and make it * 2 mean total size

[dusky magnet]

It might be, but its counting from center

so I have to divide by 2

if I don't then it spawns far outside the sprite

[faint sparrow]

what are you looking for? size right?? size.x already half size of sprite, when you divide that by 2 again, that mean half of the half

you want use that for position?

[dusky magnet]

size in units

the size of the sprite is 2.5 from what I've got

ok so I know the issue

I get the size of a sprite image...uh

how do I get width of the game object in the world

Ok so let me rephrase my question.
How can I spawn a prefab at RandomRange(0, object.width).
X axis only and Y - height
So the prefab spawns at the far left and far right of the object.

Can anyone here help me with a movement script?

using UnityEngine;

[forest cave]

[snow willow]

No, look into ClampMagnitude

[snow willow]

Careful with that single equals...

lol

thx

[still tendon]

   Movement_Change1.x = Input.GetAxisRaw( "Horizontal" );
   Movement_Change1.y = Input.GetAxisRaw( "Vertical" );

is that how it works

I didn't understood perfectly how is it, by reading the docs

yeah

Thank you!

[snow willow]

though Movement_Speed1 should just be 1 here probably

no transition from Shoot back to Idle?

[tranquil frost]

How do I get and modify their values from other classes that inherit from MonoBehaviour?

I have a Text of TotalCombo to record the total, but I need to change the value of TotalCombo in another Tag class

[still tendon]

You mean the 2nd param of ClampMagnitude needs to be 1 and not the player movement speed?

[jolly hawk]

You have to call the method, like this, Playerhealth = FindObjectOfType<PlayerHealth>(); and then type Playerhealth."insert method here"();

And make the method/function public

[snow willow]

Yes because this code is currently clamping the Input data not that actual movement data

The input values from GetAxisRaw are -1 to 1

[still tendon]

oh alright

ty

[jolly hawk]

And modify the value inside the like this playerhealth.damage(1f); or if its int just (1);

[limber ore]

@snow willow Yeah you were right, it was pointing the wrong way

[sharp herald]

Does anyone know how I can increment the image index of my sprite in SpriteRenderer?

Like if I set the sprite to Attack, it will just use the first index

How do I set it to Attack_1, Attack_2 etc.?

[azure acorn]

holy hell that

that is scary

[abstract olive]

Typically you use an animation and keyframe it.

If you want to do it manually, then you need to keep a reference to each of these in your code (make a list of them, even).

Then just change the mySpriteRenderer.sprite = Sprites[index];

[sharp herald]

lmao a 30second sketch to test this stuff out with lmao

[sharp herald]

Wait, so there isn't a way to manually pick these based on index?

I'd have to drag and drop every keyframe myself?

[azure acorn]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkaysu1Z-N8&t=1014s

this is imo the best resource

i think you should use an animator

[sharp herald]

@azure acorn I need the system to be very very flexible so that's why I'm currently leaning towards incrementing it myself

[azure acorn]

you mean implementing?

[abstract olive]

You need to manually assign it to a list, or if you want (but not recommended), load the sprites at runtime via the Resource folder.

[sharp herald]

It's for a fighting game, and I'll need to change the game logic based on which frame of the animation I'm on etc.

[sharp herald]

sorry yeah implementing

[azure acorn]

well you can get that as a variable i think

the frame

[sharp herald]

Can I set it?

[azure acorn]

and you can pass it to the animator

[sharp herald]

What if I want to animate it as a 2D array?

[azure acorn]

i dont have that much experience with it though, cause it's not something i have playerd around with a lot

[azure acorn]

??

[sharp herald]

Like, the animation can happen in two directions

[azure acorn]

ellaborate please

[sharp herald]

Or each row represents a different anim etc

[sharp herald]

I would definitely consider the latter option if the SpriteRenderer won't let me pick which frame to use

Why wouldn't you recommend it?

[abstract olive]

It's a whole topic you should read up on. Alternatively, there is the new(ish) addressables.

Here's my mobile game. As you can see, everything is a little stretched vertically. How do I fix that? Also, I don't want the app to be in fullscreen, as I want to avoid the space with the phone's round edges and the camera. But I'm not sure how to modify Unity settings in order to achieve that.

[dreamy fractal]

so, i need to get the local velocity so that i can shoot a projectile in the correct direction, but i have no idea how to do that. can anyone help me out?

[azure acorn]

you probably need to do something with the aspect ratio settings

[native pelican]

Where do I find them?

[azure acorn]

edit > project settings > player > resolution and presentation > supported aspect ratios

@native pelican

[native pelican]

Not many options in there, I have the 'Start in full screen mode' already checked off.

[azure acorn]

i don't have any experience with unity mobile though

so try #📱┃mobile

[native pelican]

Thanks for the suggestion.

[azure acorn]

don't know where to post this, though i want to make 2d water with a one dimensional height map, like water from the side, im pretty new to unity, not to programming or game dev though,

[snow shoal]

how do i check if my animation is over?

[sage gorge]

Hello 🙂
Im currently working on some grass which i need as a gameobject ... sadly, i cant figure it out how to tell unity to sort them by their Y position without adding a script to them which places the order in Layer.

There has to be a way ... right ?

[dusky magnet]

How can I spawn a prefab at RandomRange(0, object.width).
X axis only and Y - height
So the prefab spawns at the far left and far right of the object.

[snow shoal]

do you mean random between the left and right of the object?

[dusky magnet]

yes

2d object

[snow shoal]

if so, you could do Instantiate(objectPrefab, pos + new Vector3(Random.Range(-objectPrefab.transform.scale.x, objectPrefab.transform.scale.x), 0, 0); something like that

[dusky magnet]

I just want to spawn a ball at random x so it falls down

scale x/y 😮

[snow shoal]

what?

[dusky magnet]

no nothing I will test it 😄

what exactly is pos?

[snow shoal]

create position

[dusky magnet]

pos + random

[snow shoal]

yeah

[dusky magnet]

yeah but pos of what?

spawner?

[snow shoal]

position of where to create the object in the world

[dusky magnet]

That's what I am trying to figure out

[snow shoal]

you could do position of spawner- where do you want it to go?

[dusky magnet]

I have an object but I can't tell it's x/y coordinates properly or width/height

[snow shoal]

im sorry, im too stupid or you aren't telling me/asking me the right thing

[dusky magnet]

    Renderer sprite;
    Vector3 pos = sprite.transform.position;
    Vector3 randomX = new Vector3(Random.Range(-objectPrefab.transform.scale.x, objectPrefab.transform.scale.x), 0, 0);
    Instantiate(ball, pos + randomX, transform.rotation);

[snow shoal]

you didn't assign sprite to anything- sprite is null

[dusky magnet]

I did in start

[snow shoal]

but you created a new variable right there

[dusky magnet]

Why do we get transform scale of the prefab tho?

Just to show u the type

prefab = ball

[snow shoal]

ok

[dusky magnet]

There is localScale only for spawner

[snow shoal]

right here

you wanted to have it spawn in a random pos between the object width

[dusky magnet]

object/spawner which is not a prefab

[snow shoal]

well change it to what you need

[dusky magnet]

prefab is just a thing I want to spawn at random X

yeah so I cant find .scale of that object

Renderer

[snow shoal]

transform.scale

i think

[dusky magnet]

yeah I am dumb ;c

nvm still not there

[snow shoal]

dumb means you cant speak

.gameObject?

[dusky magnet]

nope

[snow shoal]

why are you even using a renderer

[dusky magnet]

doesnt .scale require box collider or something?

[snow shoal]

no

[dusky magnet]

tbh I dont need renderer

I just wanted to visualize the spawner position

[snow shoal]

o....kay

i got to go bye

[dusky magnet]

ok I will try again

[dusky magnet]

So Asking again if anyone else has some ideas.
I am trying to spawn a Ball prefab at a spawner rectangle location.
Random x axis starting at the far left of the spawner up to far right.
In simple terms I would just write:
RandomRange(spawner.x, spawner.x + spawner.width);

Someone enlighten me how to accomplish it with unity

My current code(spawner component):

Vector3 pos = transform.position;
Vector3 randomX = new Vector3(Random.Range(-transform.position.x, transform.position.x), transform.position.y, 0);
Instantiate(ball, pos + randomX, transform.rotation);

Which doesn't spawn the ball at a correct position.

[still tendon]

imagine making a 2D game

jkjk

[faint sparrow]

what is correct position you expecting?

anyway why dont just Instantiate(ball, randomX, traansform.rotaion); since you already get new pos with random

[snow willow]

Why are you doing this:
Random.Range(-transform.position.x, transform.position.x). Shouldn't it be Random.Range(-spawnerWidth, spawnerWidth)?

[dusky magnet]

it has to be (spawner.x, spawner.x + spawner.width)

spawner.x is correct(far left) but I can't figure out how to get it's width

[snow willow]

ok then Random.Range(0, spawnerWidth)

you're adding the spawner's position later in your instantiate

in fact just:

float xOffset = Random.Range(0, spawnerWidth);
Instantiate(prefab, spawner.position + (Vector3.right * xOffset), spawner.rotation);```

[dusky magnet]

yes

but how do I get spawnerWidth? 😄

[snow willow]

you define it somehow?

float vriable?

[dusky magnet]

I want it to be based on the size in the world

[snow willow]

Or make two empty GameObjects to be the endpoints

[dusky magnet]

so I place an object, I resize it

[snow willow]

as children of the spawner

[dusky magnet]

I don't want to define it by hand

I want to read it's width

from the object itself

it has width right?

[snow willow]

Then you have to use either the bounds of the object, or loop through the vertices of the mesh and find the far extremes

[snow willow]

not really

there are renderer bounds and collider bounds

[dusky magnet]

yeah so how do I use the bounds? I kinda tried it before but it is never the proper position

[snow willow]

but those are axis-aligned bounding boxes

[dusky magnet]

the object has no collider

[snow willow]

which may or may not make sense for you

[sour bane]

Hey, anyone know how to do so for this tile to expand in its middle so i can create a wall?

[snow willow]

then you can use Renderer bounds I suppose

[dusky magnet]

but I can give it a collider and make it a trigger

[faint sparrow]

sr.bound.size i believe @dusky magnet that the size of sprite

[dusky magnet]

yeah so the spawner is perfectly horizontal

[faint sparrow]

or bounds.x that the size from center to far right or left then just times 2 to get full size width

[dusky magnet]

so bounds.x * 2 = width?

[snow shoal]

i think you may edit the sprite in the sprite editor to get just the middle- or maybe use the sprite editor and change the outline(i think it will just stretch the middle though)

[snow willow]

The extreme ends of the bounds would be like:

var bounds = GetComponent<Renderer>().bounds;
Vector3 leftExtreme = bounds.center - (Vector3.right * bounds.extents.x);
Vector3 rightExtreme = bounds.center + (Vector3.right * bounds.extents.x);

[faint sparrow]

im not sure, just check it yourself

[dusky magnet]

Alright I will give it a go, I tried various things already

[sour bane]

I did that and get like a badly stretched texture in the middle

[snow willow]

Then to get a random pooint on that line you can use:

Vector3 randomPosition = Vector3.Lerp(leftExtreme, rightExtreme, Random.value);

[snow shoal]

then do the first thing i said. Split the texture into multiple sprites

[sour bane]

I edited the sprite and selected the middle and got this

[dusky magnet]

Vector3 leftExtreme = sprite.bounds.center - (Vector3.right * sprite.bounds.extents.x);
Vector3 rightExtreme = sprite.bounds.center + (Vector3.right * sprite.bounds.extents.x);
Vector3 randomPosition = Vector3.Lerp(leftExtreme, rightExtreme, Random.value);
Instantiate(ball, randomPosition, transform.rotation);

it works, thanks 😄
Not sure why Vector3.Lerp works and how does it figure out proper y position, but it does...it simply spawns an object at the bottom of the spawner which is what I'd expect.

[snow willow]

Lerp is very simple. It simply gives you a position at some percentage of the way between A nd B

[snow shoal]

try this @sour bane

[snow willow]

If you pass in .5, it gives you the point right in the middle

if you pass in 0, the starting point. It you pass in 1, the end point

[dusky magnet]

yeah I understand, but what happens to Y axis? or Z axis? It is Vector 3 after all and I am instantiating an object using this Vector 3.

[sour bane]

In how many sprites should i slice it tho

[snow willow]

Well we made the leftExtreme and rightExtreme points all be on the same horizontal line along with the center of the spawner

[snow shoal]

left, middle, right 3

[snow willow]

So Z and Y are the same no matter what part of the line we're on

[dusky magnet]

oh, is there a tutorial that explains bounds/center etc? This is something I've been reading today, but couldn't make it work since there are 20 other properties everywhere

Some of those properties are local, other are world and some are even in pixels -.-

[snow willow]

Only center is in world coordinates

everything else is local

[dusky magnet]

oh that explains everything

Thanks 😄

[snow willow]

oh wait I'm wrong haha

Bounds.min and Bounds.max are in world coordinates as well

😄

But they're simply center + extents and center - extents respectively

[dusky magnet]

wait so bounds.min/max is basically left/right?

[snow willow]

not quite because it's also the minimum y and z values too

it's like the two extreme corners

Like in this image it would be 0 and 6

[dusky magnet]

Does it matter in 2d game?

the Z axis

[snow willow]

it can

but for 2d sprites you can basically think of min and max as 0 and 5 from this image then

and ignore the z I guess

[dusky magnet]

or I can specify the Z value manually I guess
new Vector3(random.x, spawner.bounds.bottom(?), 0);

[halcyon geyser]

If theres any texture/noise on your sprite when you go to stretch it like that its always going to look a bit off. I usually create a 2 pixel (Filler) esque thing with my sprites to allow for it but I rarely do it in general

?

[faint sparrow]

could you check where you create that function

[rancid otter]

wdym

[faint sparrow]

those public bool IsGrounded()

[rancid otter]

i dont get what you're trying to say

[ruby karma]

move the stuff in the red box to outside the scope of the CheckGrounded method

[rancid otter]

ok

another error

[sour bane]

Thanks mate, gonna take it in count :)

[faint sparrow]

i think because you have variable name IsGrounded and also a Method Name IsGrounded();

[limber dome]

hi

i have this animation tree

what i want is

the player stays in default for a random time

then it switches to the second animation through a trigger which brings it back to the first animation

then it again waits for sometime

then triggers the second animation

and loop this cycle

I trie this using Coroutines and wait forsecond()

but it didnt work

[native hornet]

I've added in a feature to my game that pushes back the player when they touch the enemy. When the player touches the enemy they aren't pushed back but the push animation on the player still plays. Here is the code:

I found I was overwriting the code in FixedUpdate() and I dont know how to stop overwriting it as I can't disable the script temporarily (as my animations are in the script) and I don't know how to change from using velocity to addforce

Here is my fixedupdate code

[snow shoal]

how do i draw a line and change the thickness of it?

[snow willow]

Use LineRenderer

[snow shoal]

ok thx!

[zealous topaz]

hello, in a tilemap, sometimes a tile is out of sight and I want to replace it with a grey tile, reflecting it being out of the character's sight. Is there a way to deactivate the tile, or must I draw the grey tile on the same position (but with a higher z value) ?

Ideally, I would like that no more than one tile is rendered for each position, but with the solution I described above, I fear that the tile below will be rendered before the tile above, and that would be a loss in performance

[tidal scaffold]

So basically you want some sort of fog of war? You could have a fully grey tile layer on top of your map, then use a Physics2D.BoxCastAll to iterate over all collisions in your line of sight, check for the grey layer ones and change their transparency...

Not sure if that's the best way to do it but... 😅

[zealous topaz]

I think I found a way. If I move it to a lower altitude with a z value lower than the camera's z value, it is automatically ignored

[foggy orchid]

Hey Guys! so I need a little help with something.. I try to do this:

so I've come up with this... it kinda works but still not really

heres how it looks like rn

any help is really appreciated

[balmy needle]

using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class FlyLittleBird : MonoBehaviour {

    public float velocity = 1;
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    
    {rb GetComponent<RigidBody2D>();

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    { if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))}
    {
        //jump
        rb Vector2.up
    }
}```

Im not sure whats wrong with this. can someone help trying to make my flappy bird jump.

[solemn latch]

@balmy needle you need to explicitly add force, I suppose.

@foggy orchid does it work fine with non spriteshape colliders?

The collider might have messed up geometry/normals

[balmy needle]

Do I replace some pieces of the script with addforce?

[fair vessel]

oh boy

oh that's an old post, but if you see this, there seems to be a lot wrong with it....

1. the if statement does nothing because it is the only thing in the function, as you ended the function with a } right after the if statement
2. it doesn't look like you are doing anything with the rigidbody? no methods are called..... could be wrong i dunno anything about the unity physics engine, im new and havent messed with it

[vocal condor]

You can tell it to ignore itself (relative to physics)

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

[void meteor]

could you specify which line of code is it at?

[vocal condor]

Pretty sure you just have got to add an ignore case so your bullet doesn't hurt yourself.

Provided in the link above

Where collider one and two would be yourself and the bullet.

[void meteor]

and then i add the ignore line of code right?

[void meteor]

if i do add the line do i have to remove the collider script or do i keep it?

[vocal condor]

Makes the collision detection system ignore all collisions between collider1 and collider2

It simply makes your bullet ignore yourself (the enemy?)

[void meteor]

the enemy basically

[vocal condor]

Basically: Bullet don't hurt us the shooter

[void meteor]

so it doesnt hurt the player or the enemy?

cause i still want it to damage the player

[vocal condor]

Only the selected two colliders

[void meteor]

ohh ok

[vocal condor]

So if collider one is the bullet and collider two is the enemy who fired it, it won't hurt himself.

Probably best done in start

Or during instantiation of the bullet

Since the shooter would know the bullet but the bullet may have no clue who the shooter is.

The shooter would have to know, it instantiated the bullet (maaaaaaybe...)

[void meteor]

alright but one last issue

so how do i fix the bullet stuck at one position cause we solved the damage problem but the bullet i need it to move basically

[vocal condor]

Your bullet doesn't move?

[void meteor]

nope

hold on

ill send an image replicating what i mean

[vocal condor]

There are many means of moving something.

Maybe lookup a tutorial?

[void meteor]

like this i mean

the yellow dot is the bullet

it shoots yes

[void meteor]

particle system?

[vocal condor]

Spawning and translating squares

With Transform.position and Mathf.Lerp

[void meteor]

so pardon me sir for not understanding since im new to this stuff but do i change anything or add anything in here?

[vocal condor]

I didn't want to have to look at the whole code
With a quick glance you may be moving towards the wrong target if transform.position is occuring.

[void meteor]

so do i remove the transform.position line of script?

[vocal condor]

Wait, the above code is for the enemy.

[void meteor]

no its for the enemy to follow the player and shoot the player

[vocal condor]

Does your bullet have a script to move itself?

[void meteor]

yes

[vocal condor]

I'm assuming your enemy is properly moving?

[void meteor]

correct

[void meteor]

the player shoots and the bullet has no problem

[vocal condor]

You'd probably want a script similar (the movement portion of the code) for bullet movement but instead of towards the players location it would simply be towards a position you defined/set shortly after instantiation.

So then after instantiating, you'd cache the bullet ```cs
var localInstanceOfProjectile = Instantiate(projectile, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
//Think of a shorter name though and have the projectile referenced as the specific component type (script)
localInstanceOfProjectile.target = Players.position;//Players position as of this instant

So during declaration (at the top where members are declared) you would have projectile referenced as the script/component rather than the universal GameObect

[void meteor]

ah ok

[paper sleet]

im tying to make a 2d platformer, moving platform but i keep getting this problem

here is my code what am i doing wrong

[vocal condor]

You'd probably want transform with lowercase t

[paper sleet]

ok ill try that

[vocal condor]

Since uppercase t would be referring to the class' static member named transform (non-existent so likely infers the class Transform) whereas lowercase t would be that of this' property reference of a instance of the transform component and further the property of the vector 3 position.

[paper sleet]

ohhh ok

thanks

[vagrant hatch]

is it possible to change the sprite of a certain tile at runtime?

[chrome anchor]

My instantiated object is not spawning on the right position of the tile

it should be in the middle

[faint sparrow]

i guess you are not set their position, just assign parent only

[chrome anchor]

how do i do that?

[faint sparrow]

Instantiate need 4 parameter, the obj, pos, rot, and parent...and you only give obj and parent, if you wanted to give pos you need to create vector2 for it, ofc the calculation is completely youre

yours

[chrome anchor]

ok

vector worked, thank you

please anyone?

[polar portal]

Is there a way to make a 2d tilemap with different collider dimensions? For instance square sized blocks and thin rectangles, etc? Or do I have to create a new map with thinner dimensions?

[ripe edge]

idk... 😅 tbh im noth a math guy i think mathf.sin or cos has somthing to do with it or i should devide the startpos(vector2)/with endpos(vector2) to give me the middle point(vector2) and then a value to get the arc shape i gess idk this is my theory

[snow willow]

You need the parametric equations for projectile motion

These are them:

Given a bunch of initial conditions

you can plug in the current time value (t) and get the current x/y position of the projectile

(For z you can just make a third equation that looks just like the x one but with z)

y0 - the initial y position
vy0 - the initial y velocity
g - gravity

[ripe edge]

thank you so mush! i will give it a try !

        }
    }
}

anyone know how to fix this im pretty new to c# and have no idea what it means

[snow willow]

You need a space here: private RigidBody2D_rigidbody;

between Rigidbody2D and _rigidbody

[rapid raft]

now i get this

[snow willow]

oh yeah

it's Rigidbody2D

not RigidBody2D

spelling and capitalization must be perfect

[rapid raft]

thats the one thing i always hated about coding

[snow willow]

not really an issue if you just use autocomplete 95% of the time

But those errors are also pretty obvious when they occur

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[rapid raft]

every time we fix it theres more

[snow willow]

well yeah all thoser errors have been there the whole time

The compiler is just getting further into your file

[rapid raft]

i do know that the tutorial i used used an older api

[snow willow]

You should be able to fix these - you used JumpForce instead of _JumpForce

basically - your spelling is not exact again

Same for the other error

a misspelling

[rapid raft]

yeah it gave me the lightbulb

ay it works

hm i want to put the camera into the player so it moves with it but when i do he falls over any idea why this happens

[crimson coyote]

when doing a 2d platformer and using a smooth follow cam (like cinemachine), im having issues where my background jitters if I change its transform.position at all along with the camera. I am using pixel perfect with pixel snapping. I just cant seem to be able to get rid of it

[rapid raft]

i just watched a brackeys tutorial

[faint sparrow]

its not older api, you just misspell, anyway if you using vs studio its already give you hmmm...code intelisense i think what its called, just follow that, dont write everything yourself, so for example when you acces ForceMode2d. just stop in that dot(.) and vs studio will give you all possible think after that dot

[rapid raft]

no the original code was from and older api but someone in the comments rewrote it to work

so i used that

[jolly hawk]

How do i clone array prefabs into same array? I have problem where player takes hit and destroys all hearts on canvas and on respawn it cannot clone them because they were destroyed. I tried to heartsPrefabClone = Instantiate(hearts, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) as GameObject[]; , but i get error CS0311

[still tendon]

you can do heartsPrefabClone = Instantiate(hearts, transform.position, Quaternion.identity) then add it to a list like prefabs.Add(heartsPrefabClone)

[abstract olive]

@steel fable No crossposting please.

[steel fable]

dude i dont know where to post in the right place so i post it in all the rooms seems related

[abstract olive]

So? There's a no crossposting rule.

Also, you literally mention post processing, and then asked in the post processing channel. I would think that would answer your question of "the right place".

[foggy orchid]

hey guys! so I made it this far with this.. but can anyone tell me why this dude is like lagging around?

dont talk about the jump.. that will be fixed in the future

[snow willow]

hard to say without seeing your code.

But, likely related to how you are moving the thing

[foggy orchid]

@snow willow ehm like that

but its quite strange because before I added that angle to gound thing it worked just fine...

[snow willow]

share more code

what are moveInput and walkSpeed

Also what's your camera follow script look like

[foggy orchid]

camera is cinemachine

[snow willow]

Most likely it's just the normal jittering you get if you have a camera follow script using LateUpdate or Update following a non-interpolated rigidbody

[snow willow]

What update mode do you have set on it?

on the brain

[foggy orchid]

ive got the walking in fixed

update

wrong one?

I've got the input taken in the update and the speed added in fixedupdate

[snow willow]

does your rigidbody have interpolate enabled?

[foggy orchid]

no

[snow willow]

what other code do you have

for like the tilting etc

maybe just share your whole movement script

[foggy orchid]

should I sent you the entire code private? it isnt big at all

[snow willow]

send it here, with a paste site

[foggy orchid]

k

its really messy.. xD https://pastebin.com/fkc6YH4v

and no comments either

so srry bout that

[rapid raft]

anyone know how to make it so my character wont fall over on dynamic when hitting the edge of a box or a ramp?

[peak cape]

I am a bit confused @rapid raft , you want your player to not fall off the edge of an object basically?

[rapid raft]

let me get a recording of it

[rapid raft]

i fixed it do not worry anymore

[sudden parcel]

Hi I am trying to add a ground trigger that'd play sound when player's collider enters it
Following this video I replaced 3d cube by static sprite, added 2d collider to it, script from a video and then linked a video file like on video tutorial yet nothing happens.
Is it working a bit differently for 2D? Thanks in advance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGAsgIJ-c38&start=

[opal socket]

Is player 3d or 2d?

[lucid rune]

Hello everyone,

I want to make my archer's arrow rotate parallel with what user finger draws on screen.
I used transform Rotate, Quaternion.Euler but they dont do what i want.

Is there anyone can tell me what to use ?

Like that :

[lament spire]

The OnColliderEnter Methods are Different in 2D
https://docs.unity3d.com/2017.2/Documentation/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.OnCollisionEnter2D.html

You also need a rigidbody 2D instead of a normal one in your player

[sudden parcel]

I got that, thanks I'll have a look

[sudden parcel]

2d

[lament spire]

So is it working Anklast

I have this object that detects 2Dtrigger enters just fine, but when I put the same collider on one of it's children it doesnt detect any, ideas ?

[remote phoenix]

My problem is quite complex. So, I have a path (trigger collider) and in that path is a start and finish. The player can control a game object in the path. My problem is I need to write a script on a percentage of how far the player is in the path. Sounds simple enough , but has a few complications. The player can go backwards, and the player can leave the path, in which the finish disables its self until the player goes to start. And the last one is, that the path is not straight, and I have many multiple paths so a script or 2 would be ideal.

[lament spire]

Only way I can imagine for complex shapes would be to place like 10 checkpoints from start to finish, and then by looking at your distance from all the checkpoints you can work out for example if you are between the 10% and 20% checkpoint and then approximate your real percentage by seeing how far you are from those

[remote phoenix]

@lament spire yeah... that seems to be the only solution, the thing is, I have 60 diffrent paths, so that would take a long time... oh well

[lament spire]

Depending on the structure you can maybe get away with a few per path. If you really have a lot maybe it would be worth making an editor tool idk

[fallen valve]

Alright I probably am in the wrong place or something, and I apologize ahead of time
So in short this is the error I am getting
Assets\Scripts\PlayerBattleScript.cs(66,25): error CS1061: 'GameObject' does not contain a definition for 'EnemyMovement' and no accessible extension method 'EnemyMovement' accepting a first argument of type 'GameObject' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
My goal is to get a variable from a specific game object

        static public GameObject Enemy; //this is located somewhere else, but moved here for demonstration
        Enemy = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Touched");
        Debug.Log(Enemy.EnemyMovement.Type);

That is the code for doing that. I have a feeling that this is super simple, but I have been stuck on this for such a long time I am getting desperate.

Please @ me with every response, this makes it a lot easier for me to see your messages

[still tendon]

Enemy does not contain a definition for 'EnemyMovement' because it is a component. you have to get the component by using Enemy.GetComponent<EnemyMovement>()

[fallen valve]

Okay let me try that real quick

@still tendon So you are saying this?

        static public GameObject Enemy; //this is located somewhere else, but moved here for demonstration
        public EnemyMovement enemyClass; //this is located somewhere else, but moved here for demonstration
        Enemy = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Touched");
        enemyClass = Enemy.GetComponent<EnemyMovement>();
        Debug.Log("nothing");

[jolly hawk]

Is there any other way to respawn player than destroy? I am aware of onActive (false) and (true), but I get bug where Animator gets bugged out because gameobject (player) was disabled. Is these only two ones? I don't want transform.position either, I use it for other mechanics like fallcollision and checkpoint

Maybe I try to disable just Sprite renderer and box collider and then reset other elements to cheat around this problem

[fallen valve]

So @still tendon, I then do enemyClass.Type, but I get the same error

[fallen valve]

```Well now I am getting this

[still tendon]

is "Etype" a static member

[fallen valve]

It is

[snow willow]

Then you just access it with the class name, not an instance variable

[still tendon]

then you can just do EnemyMovement.Etype

[snow willow]

EnemyMovement.EType

[fallen valve]

That was what I was doing here @snow willow and @still tendon

[snow willow]

that is not

you had Enemy.EnemyMovement.Type

that is not EnemyMovement.EType

[fallen valve]

Oh oops

One sec

@snow willow Is there a reason I can not see it in the inspector?

[snow willow]

see what

EnemyMovement.EType?

[fallen valve]

Just EType

[snow willow]

Because it's static

[fallen valve]

Ah-

[snow willow]

You really shouldn't be using static variables most of the time

[fallen valve]

Yeah I do not want to use static

[snow willow]

it's a pitfall for beginners

[fallen valve]

It just kept telling me in the console that it needs to be static

If I remove the static I get this Assets\Scripts\PlayerBattleScript.cs(66,12): error CS0120: An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'EnemyMovement.EType'

[still tendon]

it gives that error because you have to use getcomponent to get the instance of that script

[fallen valve]

Would it be possible to avoid this?

I mainly just want to set EType in the inspector

[still tendon]

yes, it won't give that error if you do something like this ```cs
Debug.Log(Enemy.GetComponent<EnemyMovement>().EType);

[fallen valve]

@still tendon So something like this would work?

        Enemy = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Touched");
        if(Enemy.GetComponent<EnemyMovement>().EType == "Demon"){
          Debug.Log("Enemy is a demon");
        }

[still tendon]

yes

[fallen valve]

Okay let me try that

Good no errors, now time to run

The if statement never ran hmm

let me put it in update

No wait it did run

PlayerBattleScript.Update () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerBattleScript.cs:48)```

[still tendon]

can you show the script

[fallen valve]

I am just going to show the start function, the rest my partner did so I do not know what it is doing lol

@still tendon You want me to upload it to that website or just use that discord embed?

[still tendon]

use the embed if it is short

[fallen valve]

Like the new embed, the one with the .txt file

This

[still tendon]

it says the exception happened in the Update function

[fallen valve]

it came from this

The code I sent you I removed the update

[still tendon]

oh ok

[fallen valve]

as that was only to test that if statement

NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object PlayerBattleScript.Start () (at Assets/Scripts/PlayerBattleScript.cs:66)

That is what it looks like when I run it when what I sent you

[still tendon]

Is Player a class and playerClass is a static member? I can't see any initialization in the script. @fallen valve

[fallen valve]

public static string playerClass;

I would say so yeah

[still tendon]

you initialize Etype at the start of the game right?

[fallen valve]

What do you mean by that?

[still tendon]

Etype might be seen as uninitialized by the PlayerBattleScript class because it runs the code at the same time

[fallen valve]

What do you mean by initialize? I am unfamiliar with this term

[still tendon]

Example: ```cs
int a; // declaration
a = 10; // initialization

[fallen valve]

ohhh

I do that in the inspector

As the enemy is cloned to create more using the same script

[still tendon]

try changing the script execution order

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyxqvaUeXeQ&ab_channel=CodeMonkey you can watch this video for it.

[fallen valve]

The "PlayerBattleScript" is in a different scene

So where "EType" is stored is in a different scene other than the "PlayerBattleScript"

When the player touched the enemy it loads a different scene with the one enemy it touched, sets active to false, as well as DontDestroyOnLoad

[still tendon]

I don't think you can find it by the tag because it is in another scene

[fallen valve]

I do DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);

So it is in the scene with it

[still tendon]

oh ok

[fallen valve]

Sorry if this is all so confusing ^^"

[still tendon]

just to be sure about it can you check if Enemy is null?

[fallen valve]

So just do Debug.Log(Enemy);?

[still tendon]

I meant something like if (Enemy == null) Debug.Log("Enemy is null!");

but if that works then do that

[fallen valve]

        if(Enemy == null){
            Debug.Log("Enemy is null");
        }
        else{
            Debug.Log("Enemy is:"+Enemy);
        }

Alright I will run this

That is odd

Oh I still had that other problem active

I commented it out let me try that again

@still tendon It is null

[still tendon]

so that means GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Touched"); returns null

[fallen valve]

Let me do this Debug.Log(GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Touched"));

Yeah @still tendon it says null

But you can see it there

[still tendon]

try doing ```cs
Enemy = GameObject.FindGameObjectWithTag("Touched");
if (Enemy != null){
if(Enemy.GetComponent<EnemyMovement>().EType == "Demon"){
Debug.Log("Enemy is a demon");
}
}

[snow willow]

FindGameObjectWithTag doesn't work on deactivated GameObjects

[still tendon]

wait is the Enemy disabled all the time

[fallen valve]

Oh-

Well that explains it

[fallen valve]

Second the scene is loaded yeah

I can make it so after it get the variable it does that

Let me just keep it active for now

[frigid shoal]

oop-

[fallen valve]

@still tendon, @snow willow, thank you two so much! It worked!! Now I just need to disable the "Enemy" but I can do that myself. Once again thank you so much!

[frigid shoal]

hey, can anyone help me with something?

I really wanna make something like mario party, but in 2d. And i wanted to know if there was any way to do that.

To be more specific, I want like some sort of hub where you can pick a game mode, And then a board game mode like the one in mario party.

[abstract olive]

Yes? Of course it's possible, Unity is just a tool to all you to create whatever you want.

[frigid shoal]

I guess your right, But im gonna need a lot of help with it since ive only made 1 game.

[snow willow]

Find some friends

Or pay some people

You will find most people on this discord are actively working on their own projects though

[frigid shoal]

So, In short

find a team

[abstract olive]

Certainly helps to have one.

[frigid shoal]

But like you said, everyones busy with their own projects

[abstract olive]

You can always pay someone.

[frigid shoal]

I dont like paying people for stuff like this

[abstract olive]

But seeing as you're clearly a beginning and a hobbyist, the best thing you can do for yourself is just start working on it, prototyping and figuring out the game first.

[frigid shoal]

Its like forced friendship

[abstract olive]

If you think you have something substantial, then you can attempt to see if anyone wants to join.

It's absolutely possible to find people to collaborate with, speaking from experience, but you can't start running around asking people if they "like your idea".

You also need a lot more experience than just being a beginner.

[snow willow]

Only problem I'd say as a beginner is that mario party is a pretty rough one to start with:

It's like making 100 different games

A single mario party style minigame might be a good place to start though

[frigid shoal]

And then i could build off of that

But i think the hardest part is that its in 2d

Because if its in 3d, you have more space and tools to work with

but with 2d, Its either a top-down game or a side-scroller

[snow willow]

You can do quite a lot with 2D

The line between 2D and 3D is also as blurry as you want it to be

[frigid shoal]

I think ill remake slaparazzi

In my opinion its the simplest minigame

Either that, Or ill just make the hub

[still tendon]

Hi
whatss the easiest way to solve and stop the player climbing walls?
(I already searched and its too hard for me understand the codes) im new at unity, just trying to learn from tutorials and researchs..

[still tendon]

what do you mean by "stop the player climbing walls"? Do you mean that your player is sticking on to the walls?

or do you do some sort of ground checking and unity thinks that walls are the ground?

[still tendon]

Yes, my player is sticking to the walls.. but the objective is that he gets to the other side by jumping upwards

[still tendon]

The "my player is sticking to the walls" problem is very easy to fix. just create a new PhysicsMaterial2D in the assets and set it's friction to 0 then assign it to the player

[still tendon]

can you show the code where you do the ground checking

I did it but I thought it was a little strange when the player jumped on the enemy, it looked like a bug

Maybe it's my head making a mess xD

[still tendon]

let me turn my pc..

[thorny sand]

Does anyone know how I would make my character turn around when pressing A or D

I can rotate it with a vector but that puts him upside down

[still tendon]

you can use the Rotate function https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.Rotate.html

[thorny sand]

oh, that's a thing

I'm getting this error

ArgumentException: Input Button d is not setup.
To change the input settings use: Edit -> Settings -> Input

I already looked for "Edit -> Settings -> Input" and didn't know what it was talking about

[still tendon]

    {
        float hDirection = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");

        if (hDirection < 0)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(-speed, rb.velocity.y);
            transform.localScale = new Vector2(-1, 1);

        }
        else if (hDirection > 0)
        {
            rb.velocity = new Vector2(speed, rb.velocity.y);
            transform.localScale = new Vector2(1, 1);
        }
    }```

I have this

I think its what u want to do/use

[thorny sand]

I don't really understand it but I'll try

it says

Assets\CharacterMovement.cs(25,46): error CS0103: The name 'rb' does not exist in the current context

[snow willow]

You have to use your actual variable name

His May be named differently from yours

[thorny sand]

What variable is that supposed to be then

[snow willow]

whatever you named your Rigidbody2D in your script.

[upbeat sinew]

@knotty barn Sorry for the late reply, but yes I am using a tilemap with generated tiles inside, no prefabs

[chrome anchor]

my spawned prefab won't show its image

[limber dome]

hi

hi
someone help me code my jump
I cant get the take jump land animation to sync with jump
and also the player's jump iniitsle fi sint good

[slate parrot]

public void Begger()
    {
        // jobTitle.text = "Beggar";
        CashManager.cash += 200;

        happinessSlider.value -= 4;
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("health", healthSlider.value);
        PlayerPrefs.SetFloat("happiness", happinessSlider.value);
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("money", CashManager.cash);

    }

I came across something weird.. When the jobTitle isn't commented out, the button that has this script attached to it doesn't work. When it is commented out, as it is now, the button does work. Why?

[slate parrot]

I got it working by just using PlayerPrefs. Thanks for the help, pals

[lament spire]

So I have this parent object that has a script that's supposed to detect on triggerenters2D, and it works just fine when the trigger is on the parent object, but when I put the exact same collider in of the children at the same position it doesnt detect anything anymore

Any ideas ?

[snow willow]

should work.

• Are both colliders 2D colliders?
• Does at least one object involved have a Rigidbody2D? (It can be the rigidbody on the parent)
• Does at least one of the colliders have IsTrigger checked?
• Are the colliders in the correct layers?

[lament spire]

• Yes
• Yes, both (on the parent and on the object)
• Yes, both
• Yes, (they are on custom layers but all layers are made to collide with every other)

[snow willow]

You're sure the child object has the same layer that the parent did?

oh I guess if all collide with all it shouldn't matter

mind sharing screenshots of the inspectors involved?

[lament spire]

parent setup (works)

child (doesnt work)

[snow willow]

why is the child set as a trigger

[lament spire]

thing i try and detecte

[snow willow]

and the parent was not

[lament spire]

I mustve unchecked at some point but it also works as a trigger just checked

[snow willow]

Since your parent does not have a rigidbody, I don't think it will detect collisions of its child objects

only by adding a Rigidbody does it group them together

i think

[lament spire]

A quick try seems to confirm that

but it doesnt make sense for me

And i've apparently miss informed you on my check list

but thanks a lot

not even a rigidbody on the child object does it

even tough the thing I hit has one

curious

[snow willow]

Rigidbody on the child object basically makes the child its own independent physics entity

it won't bubble events up

but yeah this stuff is kind of annoyingly nuanced

[lament spire]

Thanks a lot again

[delicate bobcat]

Anyone here have an experience where their buttons dont seem to execute their onclick methods consistently?

[snow willow]

usually because some other UI element was blocking it

an invisible one

[delicate bobcat]

I tend to dynamically set them to active depending on the selected game object. So do inactive buttons tend to still get in the way like that?

Because I do have buttons overlayed

[snow willow]

deactivated GameObjects won't block them, no

[inner cloud]

Hey, if anyone could help me. I'm really new to unity. I have prefab enemy planes that I need to set up a way point system for them to fly to. But I think I need to waypoints to be prefabs since they can be destroyed by the player and when they get destroyed they need to re-spawn in a slightly different location.

[potent iris]

You could make a prefab of the wapoint with a tag and then get the postition of the waypoint and let the enemy fly to this point and every time it gets destroyed it gets instanciated at a new pos

[dense smelt]

hey, guys, I followed a tutorial on how to make your character able to die, but I watched another one to make it respawn, but it doesn't work... I'm assuming it's because it's outdated maybe

can someone help me

[abstract olive]

Tutorials don't really become outdated. If they were, then you'd have errors in your code.

If it didn't work, it's because you didn't follow it exactly.

[dense smelt]

I'll show you the code if you want

[abstract olive]

It's probably not the code. Half the effort is also making sure you've set up things in the editor as well.

Which is usually where people make the mistakes when following tutorials.

But show it anyway.

[dense smelt]

ok

lemme copy it all

[abstract olive]

Use a bin site.

[dense smelt]

for what

[abstract olive]

Your code

[dense smelt]

I could just copy it

a bin site would just be an extra step

[abstract olive]

If it's more than 10 lines, use a bin.

[dense smelt]

ok

I've never used one, how does it work

[abstract olive]

You copy and paste your code, save the link and send it.

[dense smelt]

iaght

[abstract olive]

Pick one:

• https://hatebin.com/
• https://paste.myst.rs/
• https://hastepaste.com/
• http://pastie.org/

[dense smelt]

I'd rather not click links, so I'll just search for one

[abstract olive]

I'm confused. If you look for one, you'll literally find those ones. 🤦

[open depot]

Is there any simple way to get anchors of tilemap?
I mean i have some tiles at tilemap but some are at minus cells
and need to get corners of tilemap

[dense smelt]

gimme a second, I deleted a giant chunk of code from not saving last time :/

https://pastebin.com/NbzuCqm1

[abstract olive]

This code is copied and paste from your actual scripts?

[dense smelt]

yep

[abstract olive]

Because you have an immediate spelling mistake:
LevelManager.instace.Respawn();

This is a sure indication your visual studio isn't configured to work with Unity. You need to do that, since it'll give you auto correct/intellisense which will make it very hard to have typos. Instructions are pinned in #💻┃code-beginner.

[dense smelt]

I don't use vs bc I can't get it to work

[abstract olive]

What are you using?

[dense smelt]

Jetbrains Rider

[abstract olive]

Secondly, your static LevelManager is called respawnPoint, which is duplicating another variable name just below it. You meant for it to be static LevelManager instance;

[dense smelt]

where is. that

is*

[abstract olive]

You may want to ask in #💻┃code-beginner how to configure Rider for Unity then, these spelling mistakes shouldn't be happening.

I mean, your script is 31 lines long, it's your code, can you not see where you've declared static LevelManager respawnPoint;?

[dense smelt]

oh there it is

the code will surely still work, but be less efficiently written

so with those errors fixed should it be working now?

[abstract olive]

Try it. 🤷‍♂️

[dense smelt]

UnassignedReferenceException: The variable respawnPoint of LevelManager has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the respawnPoint variable of the LevelManager script in the inspector.
UnityEngine.Transform.get_position () (at <957a01419b7842ff9526a51b7ac539b2>:0)
LevelManager.Respawn () (at Assets/LevelManager.cs:15)
Death.OnTriggerEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collider2D other) (at Assets/Death.cs:10)

idk what that means

can you simplify it

[abstract olive]

#🖼️┃2d-tools message

I'm just a little confused, you said you're following a tutorial. Did you just half watch it?

[dense smelt]

no, I followed it all the way through

other than the outro

[abstract olive]

It means you haven't defined what respawnPoint actually is. In this case, it has to be a Transform type, and 100% the tutorial meant for you to drag a reference in the inspector.

Right, well, maybe watch it again and closer?

[dense smelt]

is it possible to send a screenshot in here?

does that look good

[abstract olive]

As always, try it.

[dense smelt]

when the player falls into the death zone (an invisible wall at the bottom that kills the player) it creates a copy of the player and makes the Respawn Point and the Player Prefab "missing"

idk why that happens

[open depot]

ok nvm i just create a simple temple to calc position in array
like MathF.Abs(tilemap.cellBounds.xMin)-(-tilemap.GetTile(x, y, z);

[dense smelt]

and it doesn't work

is there meant to be code put onto the respawn point itself?

[lament spire]

IS your problem the error ?

@dense smelt

[abstract olive]

Honestly, this discord isn't meant to be a place to guess how a tutorial is supposed to work. Go back and do the tutorial from scratch.

[dense smelt]

lemme show you the tutorial

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icKfFnnHHIY&t=217s

[abstract olive]

You clearly didn't follow it correctly,and now are seeing what happens when you don't pay attention.

[dense smelt]

ouch

I get what you mean but that was kinda a harsh way to put it

[abstract olive]

What other way is there to put it.

[lament spire]

can you send your code giraffey I have time to waste

[dense smelt]

iaght

I think maybe part of the problem is that the enemy is what he's using for the death?

[lament spire]

is your respawn getting destroyed ?

[dense smelt]

yeah, I think

[lament spire]

Where is your respawn code situated

[dense smelt]

it says missing when I die in the game

[lament spire]

like on what object

player ?

[dense smelt]

LevelManager.cs

[lament spire]

The death part

[dense smelt]

Death.cs

[lament spire]

on what object

[dense smelt]

Death is placed on my Deathzone (Invisible rectangle that destroys the player when in contact with it)

aka "Square"

why?

[lament spire]

If it was on the player it'd be wrong

but it isnt

are you sure the respawn is getting destroyed

like watch the hierarchy in game

[dense smelt]

yep

[snow willow]

You have a LevelManager in your game somewhere?

[dense smelt]

dissapears when in contact

[snow willow]

Is it on your player?

[lament spire]

because the only destroy call is before you call respawn so it wouldnt try respawning if was destroying itself

[snow willow]

Well Destroy takes a whole frame

so the rest of the code will indeed run

[lament spire]

then Debug.Log(other);

in the trigger enter

to confirm its destroying itself

[dense smelt]

where exactly

[lament spire]

One line above the Destroy(other.gameObject);

[dense smelt]

Player (UnityEngine.BoxCollider2D)
UnityEngine.Debug:Log (object)
Death:OnTriggerEnter2D (UnityEngine.Collider2D) (at Assets/Death.cs:9)

[lament spire]

So it isn't destroying itself

Are there other destroy() calls in your project

[dense smelt]

no

wait, what do you mean by "it"

[lament spire]

the respawn point

you told me it is detroyed

[dense smelt]

ok

[lament spire]

and it isnt destroying itself, and objects dont just disapear

[dense smelt]

yeah, it goes missing everytime the destroy() is called

[lament spire]

Oh

I just saw it

Sneaky little error

Player is a parent of respawn point

destroy the player

you lose the respawn point

unparent it and it should be fixed

[dense smelt]

how do I do that

[lament spire]

You drag respawn point out

from the left of your screen

[dense smelt]

it says that I can't drag it out because something about a prefab

ok, now I did it

[lament spire]

should work

[dense smelt]

it doesn't work

and why does it create a clone of the player every time I die

[lament spire]

void OnTriggerEnter2D basically executes the code inside when something collides with it's collider

When your player collides with it, it destroys the player (other refers to the other thing you collided with)

and then it asks levelmanager to spawn a new player

[dense smelt]

ok, well now I know why that happens

but why doesn't it respawn the player

oh I think it does

but my camerafollow makes it so that it focuses on the old player

yeah

the old player thing is right

but

the new player doesn't even spawn at all

wait, it spawns the new character without the box collider checked

BoxCollider2D isn't checked

yeah, it does spawn the new player, but then the player falls through the floor bc box collider 2d isn't checked @lament spire, why does this happen?

[lament spire]

IS the Player Prefab you have in level manager up to date with the normal one

maybe it's missing the collider

[dense smelt]

how would I check that

[lament spire]

you click on the player prefab in Level manager

and check if it has the collider check or whatever

[dense smelt]

in the code?

[lament spire]

in the inspector

here

[dense smelt]

it just highlights the player asset in the heirarchy when I click on it

hierarchy

[lament spire]

You need to set that variable from your folder

[dense smelt]

when I die it creates the other one but doesn't assign it to the player prefab

[lament spire]

and not the hierarchy

if you assign fro mthe hierarchy it is linked to the object in the scene

if you assign from the files it is assigned to the stored object

[dense smelt]

how do I assign it like that

[lament spire]

your prefab should be somewhere in the "Project" window

you drag it from there to the LevelManager slot

[lament spire]

yes

you drag it from there to the inspector Player Prefab slot

[dense smelt]

ok

doesn't work

oh yeah it does

but cinemachine locks onto the old player still

brb

back

how do I make cinemachine go to the new player
