Move in what sense, laterally or vertically

[late viper]

you move it in the x or y axis?

[maiden forge]

both - http://prntscr.com/19o6ib1 i want to move it on the scene.. so its more align with the tile map im drawing as of right now.. then later on ill code the camera to do stuff depending on the player.

[cosmic olive]

Then manually adjust the transform..?

And lower the Scale

[maiden forge]

i have to do this in the inspector? there's no other way?

[cosmic olive]

not the transform scale!! the camera scale

[late viper]

use the transform handle

[cosmic olive]

^ Hit W & select the camera

[maiden forge]

Thanks and you said it backwards. That's what i was looking for haha. The other way i had to do it is set it to 3d to get the cosmos or whatever the 3d scaling stuff is called and move it that way.

[cosmic olive]

🤔

Glad we could help.

[maiden forge]

now i goto bed and work on it more tomorrow, its 2am...

[modest cargo]

I still don't know if you're talking about project templates or something else entirely

[jagged epoch]

I am trying to set the sorting layers on some of my Sprites in a scene. Do you know why all my sprite renderers are greyed out in the inspector?
Trying to follow this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZzcyREamMUo

[modest cargo]

"Sprite Renderer" part is minimized from the little arrow

The greyed out parts are the material settings

[velvet pilot]

How can I make a rigidbody2d not use gravity

[abstract olive]

Turn it off on the component.

[velvet pilot]

Use gravity isnt a option on 2d tho

[abstract olive]

There's gravity scale, isn't there? 🤔

[velvet pilot]

Uh 0 gravity scale still has a bit of gravity

[abstract olive]

That's not possible unless you're moving it in code or it's colliding with something that is pushing it slightly.

[velvet pilot]

I dont know but I just realized I can just lock the y location

[wet phoenix]

Guys how can i bounce a bullet in 2d?

😦

[covert whale]

how are u shooting the bullet? is it with a rigidbody?

[wet phoenix]

im just instantiating a prefab of a bullet, yeah it does have a rigid body

i was thinking using a raycast and making it follow that

[covert whale]

u can store the previous velocity of the bullet in FixedUpdate, then OnCollisionEnter set the velocity to be Vector2.Reflect(OldVelocity, contact.normal)

[mighty oracle]

Yea templates

[wet phoenix]

i did try the reflect method, but to my knowledge there isnt a way to stop it after a number of collisions right?

[covert whale]

u can have an int called numberofCollisions, and increment it each time in OnCollisionEnter, then do a check to see if numberofCollision > collisionsAllowed before doing the reflect

if it is larger, then just destroy the bullet or whatever u want to do when the number of collisions is reached

[wet phoenix]

Aah yes your right

[wet phoenix]

Thanks

[modest cargo]

The templates are not fundamentally different. They simply start out with different settings and packages
If you know what packages and settings you need for a mobile project, you can make it using any template
The internet is very vague what settings are different between 2D and Mobile 2D, but I assume not many

[mighty oracle]

Ok thx

[still tendon]

How to run this code for PSB file:

bool flipSprite = (spriteRenderer.flipX ? (move.x > 0.01f) : (move.x < 0.01f));
if (flipSprite)
{
spriteRenderer.flipX = !spriteRenderer.flipX;
}

I have gameobject parent to all sprite files for character, each sprite file has it's own sprite renderer attached to it

but when I attach this code to parent game object, it says null reference because I have no sprite renderer attached to it

[covert whale]

how have u gotten the reference to the sprite renderer?

have u used getcomponent or

[still tendon]

yup

I know problem is that my main parent game object doesn't have any SpriteRenderer attached to it hence it shows Null reference error

problem is i have spriterenderer attached to children of the gameobject

[covert whale]

to get a component in a child u can use getcomponentinchildren
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Component.GetComponentInChildren.html

or u can reference to that child with transform.GetChild(index of child)

[still tendon]

does GetComponentInChildren() refers to all at once or only one child?

[covert whale]

all at once

if multiple children have the component it will return the first one by depth

[still tendon]

yeah just read about that DFS 😅

[dry flume]

I want to use lights in 2D, but I can't find the lightweight RP package in the package manager

[covert whale]

could u show ur package manager?

make sure u haven't selected the tab of installed packages

[analog path]

is this the place to seek help with coding?

[covert whale]

if u got a 2d specific coding problem yeah

if ur a beginner then #💻┃code-beginner and if ur not then #archived-code-general

[analog path]

okey, thank you

[honest python]

how can I change the ppu of a Texture2D?

[solar frost]

I am running into a weird problem with the SpriteRenderer where the color it displays is white:

But it has the wanted color inside of it

is there some method I am meant to call to apply the color?

[olive magnet]

are you setting the color as 0-1 in the rgb?

[solar frost]

no I am using 0-255 for the RGB

[olive magnet]

If you're setting the color via script it may be related to the fact that Color uses a float between 0-1

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Color.html

[solar frost]

that fixed it!

[olive magnet]

cool

[covert whale]

maybe u could overshoot the camera in the direction its moving every time u drag?

or have an acceleration so that the longer u drag the faster it moves

[olive magnet]

I'm confused how you're calculating the difference. You're finding the world position of the mouse compared to the position of the camera?

[covert whale]

yeah cus mouse position is in screen units

so the difference is camera's position - mouse world position

[olive magnet]

I understand that, I just mean, I've set up a camera drag system in my own game and I find the initial press position and store that, and then every frame set the camera's position based on the difference between its initial position and its current position

*of the mouse

[covert whale]

oh ok

u know more than me i've never made a drag camera heh

[maiden forge]

http://prntscr.com/19thuqy - any idea for the error?

[rare dagger]

Hey everyone,

I am interested in creating a management game where you control ships on a big world map which is viewed as a 2d image similar to what Google Maps looks like.
I want this map to be infinitely scrollable in the x direction.
While I could achieve this by repeating a map in either direction and teleporting the camera back to the centre once it reaches the end of the exterior maps, this means that any objects on the map (which are moving relative to the map and not relative to the camera) would need to be repeated graphically on the exterior maps as well, and I feel like that could get very messy quickly, and will also be pretty bad from a performance standpoint. Does anyone have any other suggestions for how this effect could be achieved without needing to repeat all objects? Thanks!

[elder minnow]

@rare dagger I'm having trouble trying to understand that

Map features would be just 2d sprites, right? Or flat meshes, you can just keep moving the camera as your ship go and you make objects appear or go

If you want to have some sort of "wave detail" of the ocean you could just put a fixed mesh under the camera and have a scrollable texture

the other objects would just be spawned / move as you move in the world

Games on ships / water are usually done with an illusion and the ocean is just a stationary mesh under the ship that scrolls its textures

[rare dagger]

Sorry should have made it clearer, the camera isn't following a ship, you control the ships by tapping somewhere on the world map which it will then pathfind to. So the idea is that you are very zoomed out in the world and can see all your ships that way, but as you scroll to the left or to the right the map should repeat.

[elder minnow]

Ah I see what you mean, like Civ games

[rare dagger]

Yeah exactly

But if I achieve this by just repeating the map sprite, then the icons of the ships/their trails will only be on the central map but not the exterior ones

[elder minnow]

The trail doesnt need to repeat

Well, repeating objects is not really messy if you work with a grid

I think a solution for this would be to just repeat once on the X and Y (depending on how zoomed out you can be) and teleport objects

But if you want a better solution I think you will need to provide a mock-up on paint or something like that because I might be imagining something slightly different of how you want it to work

[rare dagger]

Alright, thanks. I'll see if I can quickly get a mock-up.

[jade elm]

Hello guys, how is tilemap on Unity actually in terms of performance?

[rare dagger]

Well this is the idea of what it would look like very zoomed out, you can control where the ships will go to by selecting a destination and it will pathfind there. But I want the player to be able to continue scrolling to the left or right and the map repeats there, but it isn't just the map that would need to repeat there, but also the ship icons and the trails of the ships (along with any other visual items on the map), i.e. it should be indistinguishable to the user that they are not looking at the exact same map if they have scrolled off either sides.

[elder minnow]

@rare dagger that is not that difficult honestly

You can have duplicates of everything and just offset them by the size of your map

Depending how zoomed out you are you will need 2 "buffer" repeats (one for each side) or just one, and as you scroll you can just teleport the furthest one

So if you place a new ship / icon / route you can just automatically create a copy for your buffers

I think you could also use shader magic to scroll the map for you, but I'm not good with those

[rare dagger]

Ok, thank you, I didn't think it would be that difficult but I have a habit of overcomplicating things and I was afraid that I'd implement a really overcomplicated buffer system when there is a really easy solution. Anyways, thanks again for your help. :)

[elder minnow]

There might still be a simpler system but I can't think of one right now

[jade elm]

I just looking for better solution, but probably there's no way to do that via Tilemap Unity. Well, what do i need (it's really challenge) 1) Map (tile array given by the server side) 2) that isn't actually 2D map cuz it haz a layers & Z coordinate. Draw order is too complicated, cuz if you stay far away from building you see the roof, but if near window - tiles inside (above layer is covered) well it's actually works for me by drawing raw meshes (but just imagine how drastically fps is down, and remember, on client we dont have a map). I don't worked with Unity Tiles but is it possible to make a sonething like that and with more perfomance to reduce draw calls?

[rare dagger]

Yeah, I was probably overestimating how bad a buffer system would be to implement anyways. So it should be more than fine for this kind of game.

[jade elm]

https://youtu.be/s82qrfCrkls

Well little code goes here:

How it's actually draws by me, (but i dont know is that possible to do this at the better way? One of map hardest part of code)

and etc. related in CameraCulling

Here generally i have a couple of problems, with performance things... With Atlases for tiles anyways not help alot because our map is dynamically generated thing (on client side) and renderer should put over9000 32x32 things (tiles, creatures, etc). Hmm, if someone worked before with Unity Embedded tilemap system, can i do the similar task (in short) with Unity tile-maps? And how about performance? Can Unity Tilemap behaves like that? (Layer Camera Culling)

For sure, i never seen any "tutorial" or example for making such or similar maps. All what i've found - just simple thing

[ebon rose]

I'm using the UI, and i can't figure out how to make an image detect if the mouse is hovering over it. I've tried raycasting & the onMouseHover(or whatever its called) function with these settings:

and the UI is 2D, so i figured i would post here

[proven star]

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

public class CameraController : MonoBehaviour
{
    
    public Transform target;

 
    public Vector3 offset;

   
    [Range(1, 10)]
    public float smoothing;

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Follow();
    }

    void Follow()
    {
        Vector3 targetPosition = target.position + offset;
        Vector3 smoothPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, targetPosition, smoothing * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
        transform.position = smoothPosition;
    }
}```

So I'm super super new

This isn't compiling at all

[late viper]

your class name and filename needs to be the same

[proven star]

Omg thank you I'm sorry for asking such a silly question

[eternal nest]

hi

[burnt badge]

im trying to make a sort of wheel-of-fortune wheel spinner type thing. The wheel is generated by creating a few circular images, then modifying the fill-amount on the image to create the correctly sized pizza slice shape. the only problem is, i cant figure out how to obtain which slice is currently under the mouse. I tried looking up how to get which UI color is under the mouse, but that leads to other problems later on. If anyone knows a solution of just a better methodology, let me know.

[snow willow]

I guess you'd give each slice some angle range. E.g. 0-15 degrees is red, 15-30 is blue, etc..
Then you calculate the angle away from the "right" direction of the wheel your mouse is at with Transform.InverseTransformPoint and Mathf.Atan2

Finally you calculate which interval you fall into. This can be done with a linear search (just a for loop checking each range) in O(n) time, but I believe the ideal data structure for it would be something called an Interval Tree which would give you O(log(n)) search time.

[burnt badge]

i see what youre saying! i can totally do that. Thanks again Praetor!

[burnt badge]

took a bit of algorithm shananigans but i got it working exactly how i want it

[proper nova]

how do you animate the background of a panel? i know you have to use animation tab and sprite sheets (which i have already) but it isnt working at all. what am i doing wrong?? it has been 12 hours and i have slowly descended into a hell of tutorials with default youtube music and i just want to move on to the next part of my project and my life but i have a curse where i need to complete everything before moving onto the next thing. every single unity forum support page has been how to animate the shape of the background but I just want a gif or animated background in some way. i even ask people i know dont know the answer for some semblence of hope until they say "no, wtf?" every single time. please. i seriously have asked too many places this already and been ignored like this is some sick joke by god. please.

[snow willow]

it isnt working at all. what am i doing wrong??
It's really hard to say without knowing what you've tried so far, what you're expecting to happen, and what's happening instead.

You said you have a sprite sheet and an Animator. Good.

So what have you tried with them?

[proper nova]

using that record button thing and then change the background image of the panel to the next frame all at once and using that record button thing and changing one background image then stopping it, and repeating

[snow willow]

and, if you look at the scrubsheet that's created in the audio clip, does it look right?

If you hit the play button on the clip to preview it, does it look right?

[proper nova]

no. it showed two frame one time when i dragged it forward then when i dragged it back and forward again it didnt work.

[fossil dock]

Guys can anyone help me with this? there is no information on how to do this anywhere: I need a rect mask 2D (from a scroll view) to work on objects with their own canvas
and override sorting
how can I do that?
or alternatively, how can I have objects in a grid layout within a scrollview change their sort order without re-ordering the layout group and allowing me to mask them all still?

[low agate]

how to i make Vector2.Angle return a variable from 0 to 360/0

[late viper]

Read the docs, the result will never be more than 180 because it returns the smaller angle https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector2.Angle.html

[low agate]

@late viper i figured out just add 180 to that vector2.signedangle thing

[late viper]

if you only want the bigger angle each time, sure

[mossy canyon]

https://wirewhiz.com/unity-multiplayer-using-mirror/ Is this the appropriate way for network calculation of physics ? (The network channel doesn't respond 😛 )

Sorry 🙂

[desert cargo]

Does anyone have a good library for generating a 2D view/light/AOE mesh?

i.e. a circle that is clipped where any radial line intersects with a collider

Or the correct word for searching for such a thing

I know one simple way to do it is to cast our rays in a circle, but I'd prefer the more sophisticated solution of casting one one for each collider vertex in range.

[jolly hawk]

What do i have to do when I use same script for two gameobjects(characters) and want to change their color, but I only get first sprites renderer? How can I forget first sprite and get second gameobject's spriterenderer? If my player has leveled up and has changed sprite, how my script knows which renderer it has to get? I cannot do Gameobject.rend = getComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

[desert cargo]

What have you tried?

[jolly hawk]

I have tried if
( script.charcterlvl1.activeself == true || script.characterlvl2.activeself == true)
{
rend = getComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
rend.color = new color32(255,255,255,255);
}

[desert cargo]

There are instructions for sharing code in #854851968446365696, take a look.

```cs
// like this
```

// like this

I don't understand that code.

It's not valid Unity code anyway... getComponent is wrong.

[jolly hawk]

It is a basic if statement that checks if gameobject1 is active or if gameobject2 is true then it gets renderer and changes color. At the moment It only gets gameobject1 spriterenderer but i dont know how to program it to get gameobject2 spriterenderer

[snow willow]

gameObject2.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>() etc...

[jolly hawk]

Thanks I think I make progress now 👍

[leaden sky]

anyone know how to apply a sprite (from a spritesheet) to a particle using URP. I don't even seem to have an unlit particle shader ( URP >Particle > ***)

Edit: nm found it under "Texture sheet animation"

[bronze anvil]

2D Tilemap Extras - Rule Tile related question - I generated a rule tile during runtime, I set all the neighbour positions except the position of the m_RuleTransform, so I would assume that it would figure out its position, but it doesn't.

It always keeps it in the center

Anyone knows how to set its position?

It's definitely possible through the editor, but I need to set it during runtime

I think I understand what's happening here after I checked their code. They always draw this one at 0,0. So other positions should be adjusted.

Success!

I m getting null reference exception error

[late viper]

does your camera have the "main camera" tag

[dim bronze]

No

Oo Yes

Working

Thnx

But the rotation is not working if I click right it moves in left direction

It's moving in the same direction

[covert whale]

could u do a debug.log of Mousepos.x to see what u get

[stone star]

hello, when i enable my 2d freeform light, the affected sprite turns back, anyone knows the cause?

[hoary delta]

does anybody know why the pathfinding is doing that? it gets stuck at objects

second example has tiny collider and normal trigger collider

[compact knoll]

you'll probably want to increase the number of nodes you have and decrease their size so that they aren't trying to go right up against the tiles like that. i personally have mine set up so it looks like this

also is that an original tileset you are using? because if not could you tell me where you got it? i've been looking for a nice top down tileset that includes seeing the bottom walls like yours

[hoary delta]

the bottom walls are just flipped sprites, i got the free asset pack from https://o-lobster.itch.io/simple-dungeon-crawler-16x16-pixel-pack

also the corners i had to make myself

but i'll try your suggestion see if that works out

[hoary delta]

@compact knoll It's working pretty smoothly now, thanks : D

[compact knoll]

nice, glad i could help!

[fleet vessel]

hey i need some help

the error message in unity is: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object Player.FixedUpdate ()

does somebody know what the problem is?

it tells me that there is something wrong with line 37 but i dont know what it is

[compact knoll]

is boxCollider correctly defined?

[fleet vessel]

think so

[compact knoll]

where is it actually defined?

[fleet vessel]

do you mean in the code?

[compact knoll]

yes, show me the line you defined boxCollider on

[fleet vessel]

i think it is the one i showed you

wait

that is better

[compact knoll]

is it correctly getting the layer mask? throw a Debug.Log(LayerMask.GetMask("Actor", "Blocking")); right above that line to see if that is returning correctly

[fleet vessel]

yeah the goal is to creat a wall that blocks the player

and with the layers we can see what is a wall and what not

also the same for the actor

but i will try it

[compact knoll]

i know what a layer mask is, the debug is to ensure that it is correctly finding the layers

[fleet vessel]

thats the result

oh now the error line has changed

[compact knoll]

it hasn't, there's just new lines so now the line number changed. it also doesn't appear to be getting the layers, go into your Project Settings and go to Tags and Layers and make sure that you have both of those layers defined

[fleet vessel]

well both of them are there

its fine it was a dumb misspelling error of mine

if you look at the private void Start function you can see that i wrote Start not in capital

so i just wrote the s capital and now it works XD

i love coding

[compact knoll]

oh dang i totally missed that, i was even checking for spelling and stuff. lmao so my first thought that boxCollider wasn't defined was actually correct

[fleet vessel]

oh its fine dont apologize

but hey thanks

[snow willow]

Do you have a BoxCollider2D attached to the same GameObject this script is attached to?

oh nvm

sorry you found the error 😄

[fleet vessel]

yeah i did but thanks

[toxic anvil]

how do i fix the error?

[steady haven]

Time.timeScale

C# is case sensitive

[toxic anvil]

oh

worked thanks1

[steady haven]

No problem 🙂

[toxic anvil]

i always wondered tho why caps are so important

i just did one mistake and code didnt works ;-;

[abstract olive]

Because code isn't smart. It isn't supposed to be.

[steady haven]

That’s just naming conventions for variables and functions and what not. You should have intellisense on to help you see caps or how they are defined.

[toxic anvil]

oh ok thank you

[noble sorrel]

Hey guys im using Pixel Perfect Camera but when I put some sprites in my scene they seem to jitter when my camera moves. The only way I can find to solve this is when I put my sprites on whole pixel units (So on x=10, instead of x9.8), but that limits me. Does anyone know a solution for this?

I dont want to ditch Pixel Perfect

[boreal cobalt]

hey all 🙂
im trying to flip my character on X axis and i mange to do it by spriteRenderer.flipX but the Player child "FirePoint" isnt flipping, why is that?

[snow willow]

flipX is just a thing for the SpriteRenderer to draw the image flipped

it doesn't change the position or rotation or scale of any GameObject/Transform

[boreal cobalt]

oh

so i guess i need to find a better way to do it

[abstract olive]

You can just flip the x-scale of the object (-1 for left, 1 for right) as a quick hack.

[boreal cobalt]

sweet ill try that now

[wanton sparrow]

Anyone willing to help me debug my Shadow casting FOV code? 😠 lol

[hoary delta]

watch out if you do mess with the scale in the editor that you take the scale of your sprite in consideration

[wanton sparrow]

Been fighting with an issue in it for 2 days now

[boreal cobalt]

work like a charm Thanks @hoary delta

[hoary delta]

nice, no problem : )

[lyric hollow]

hey guys, good afternoon! i'm new to unity and i'm trying to do a color switch replica. I want the circle to only rotate 360º, but it's also moving between the X and Y axes (in other words, I want to fix the center of the circle). Does anyone know how can I solve this? Thanks!!

[covert whale]

could u show ur script?

[lyric hollow]

Sure. This is the rotator script so far

[covert whale]

is this attached to the parent?

[lyric hollow]

yes

[covert whale]

do the children have an offset

[lyric hollow]

I'm not sure. how can i check this?

[covert whale]

click on the children and see what their transform's position is

if it's rotating like that then it means that the children's transforms aren't centred around the parent

[lyric hollow]

sorry, i'm not sure if i've found the information you asked me. I was looking for a "transform position" option on the inspector but i haven't found any

[covert whale]

oh so u see the top there are those three blue red and green shapes

and next to it it says transform

[lyric hollow]

ohh got it

yes

[covert whale]

so do all ur children have position 0 0?

[lyric hollow]

no, only the cyan one. the yellow one is x: 1.647 and y: 0; the purple is x: 1647 and y: -1645; and the pink is x: 0 and y: -1646

[covert whale]

oh

[lyric hollow]

but if i change those positions they might get but if i change those positions they might get scruffy, no?

[covert whale]

so when u do transform.rotate it will rotate around the parent's position, but in this case since everything is offset and not around the parent's centre then it will rotate around the cyan's position

because the cyan is at 0,0 and that's where it will rotate around

[covert whale]

so u can make a square and make it a child of the thing ur rotating, and set its local position to 0 0

that will be what everything will rotate around

then u should offset everything an equal distance around that centre

[lyric hollow]

ohh okay, I'll try to fix it! Huge thanks @covert whale for all the help!!

[covert whale]

alternatively u can do transform.rotatearound

but that also requires u to find what u've centred everything around

[lyric hollow]

Alright! thank u very much!!

[frosty trail]

Hello, Im new to unity and I am trying to make a healthbar in a 2D project. I followed this tutorial (https://youtu.be/BLfNP4Sc_iA) but the healthbar is not decreasing. I made this pastebin with my code/images of the relevant inspectors: https://pastebin.com/8mbB6Nda

[flint dew]

i would change healthBar.SetHealth(currentHealth); in TakeDamage() to healthBar.value -= currentHealth

[frosty trail]

That gives this error:
Error CS1061 'HealthBar' does not contain a definition for 'value' and no accessible extension method 'value' accepting a first argument of type 'HealthBar' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[flint dew]

because healthBar is the script

and mb

healthBar.slider.value -= currentHealth

[frosty trail]

That got rid of the error, but it doesn't seem to work

[flint dew]

change public int maxHealth = 20; to public float maxHealth = 20f;

since value of sliders is in float

and if that doesnt work, then im sorry :(

and set public int currentHealth; to float as well

[frosty trail]

Nah that didn't work

[flint dew]

damn, sorry

was kinda looking to what i made

[flint dew]

does the debug print currentHealth ?

[frosty trail]

Yeah, it goes down

[boreal cobalt]

hey, why this call for public function in other script does not work?

in line 14

[covert whale]

have u gotten a reference to the bulletScript?

[boreal cobalt]

oh

crap, i need to do it on start right?

[covert whale]

either that or u can make the bulletScript public or serialized and drag in the object that has the script in there

[boreal cobalt]

ok let me try

[covert whale]

but i think since ur gonna have multiple bullets ur gonna have to do
collision.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Bullet>();

each time in on trigger enter

[boreal cobalt]

@covert whale this isnt work yet

[covert whale]

yeah that's because the Bullet script is gonna be on the bullet when it hits right?

not on the game object

[boreal cobalt]

so like that?
bulletScript = GetComponent<Bullet>();

[covert whale]

so in on trigger enter do something like
collision.collider.gameObject.GetComponent<Bullet>();

to get the bullet script attached to the bullet

[boreal cobalt]

ok let me try ^^

Worked!
can i have one more question?

[covert whale]

yes that'd be 5 more dollars

ofc u can

@boreal cobalt what's the question?

[boreal cobalt]

im trying to make damage function when bulet hit the enemy

but it aint work haha

[covert whale]

so ur trying to change the health variable on ur Enemy script

[boreal cobalt]

yeah

[covert whale]

so why do u pass it to ur Bullet script?

u can just subtract from health

[boreal cobalt]

but the damage of the bullet should be in bullet script no?

[covert whale]

so u can make a public float damage in Bullet

and on the trigger subtract that from health

no need to pass it to the Bullet script

[boreal cobalt]

ok let me try that

awsome

worked

[covert whale]

nice

[boreal cobalt]

Thank you very much 🙂 @covert whale

[hardy harbor]

hi everyone

I'm trying to make my 2D sprite flash its alpha

but my usual ways of doing it aren't working (either spriteRenderer.color, material.color or material.SetColor)

it seems to be because I'm using URP's Sprites-Lit-Default for this object

how can I change the color/alpha of a sprite in URP?

[snow willow]

SpriteRenderer.color should work

[hardy harbor]

Weird. The same code works for every object that uses Sprites-Default and does not work for any object that uses Sprite-Lit-Default

[snow willow]

what does the code look like

[hardy harbor]

LeanTween.value(startFrom, targetAlpha, time)
                    .setEase(tweenType)
                    .setLoopPingPong(loopCount)
                    .setOnUpdate((float newAlpha) =>
                    {
                        
                        Color newColor = new Color(1f, 1f, 1f, newAlpha);
                        mainSprite.material.SetColor("_Color", newColor);
                        //mainSprite.color = newColor;
                    });

what matters is just inside the setOnUpdate part

you can see I tried both changing the material color and the sprite color... Neither works! 😦

newAlpha is resulting correct values and the sprite being passed is not null (I checked via Debug.Log lines)

[snow willow]

yeah you're setting the wrong material parameter

though the sprite color version should work

but in URP the paramer is not called "_Color"

It's either _BaseColor or _MainColor

I don't remember which

[hardy harbor]

I tried both and they don't seem to work. I also tried mainSprite.material.color (which I believe should return the main color) and it also doesn't respond

[snow willow]

material.color doesn't work in URP at all pretty much

it tries to use the main color shader property from the builtin renderer which isn't right for any of the default URP shaders

[hardy harbor]

I didn't know, thanks for the info!

As for the sprite color, it seems something is forcing the spriteRenderer to remain with 1f, 1f, 1f, 1f (full alpha) white, but surely nothing that I coded is doing that. Would it be possible that URP is forcing that full alpha white to my sprite color?

[snow willow]

Try putting mainSprite.color = new Color (1, 1, 1, .2f); directly

forget about LeanTween for a sec

jsut put that in Start or something

Because with Universal Render Pipeline/2D/Sprite-Lit-Default, modifying the SpriteRenderer alpha does change the alpha of the object

I just tested it

[hardy harbor]

Me too, it does work!

huh, then maybe this is some LeanTween issue. I'll continue investigating. Thanks!!

[snow willow]

alright np

[white cedar]

its possible to call a method inside that same method?

like this ?

[snow willow]

this screenshot doesn't provide enough info to know what you're talking about

but yes you can call a method from itself

it's called recursion

[white cedar]

i just need to call him again?

[snow willow]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recursion_(computer_science)

[white cedar]

gonna read

[snow willow]

It's pretty dangerous if you don't know what you're doing - it's very easy to create a situation where the method calls itself infinitely, and you will end up with what's called a "stack overflow"

[white cedar]

well in this case if the teleports are equal its called again until the two teleportes are different, i guess

[white cedar]

hmmm i couldn't resolve 😦

I want to make my teleport manager take randomly one teleport and teleport to it. And at the same time, take the teleporte choseen out of the list.

that are my scripts

this one inside my teleport

this is one the piece of code taht would make shuflle and tp

[snow willow]

Just take your list of teleporters and shuffle it

then pick the first element of the shuffled list, then the second, then the third, etc

Some good code for shuffling an array in C#: https://www.dotnetperls.com/fisher-yates-shuffle

can be modified for a List pretty easily

[white cedar]

but the player can not tp to the same teleport that he goes trough

[snow willow]

oh I see what you mean

[white cedar]

yea, i dont know how to do it

[snow willow]

I am trying to figure out how to create an explosion effect using 2d sprites.
On impact, to replace my existing sprite with a few smaller chunks, and add a force to them to fly into random directions. Does anybody have an idea on how to do this?

[cosmic olive]

Well, you could use a particle effect though I'm not sure how that'd go in 2d... Otherwise, you could have a function OnDeath() that instantiates a random amount of prefab sprites (with rigidbody2d's) between 3-5 and apply random force to them

[jolly hawk]

Hi, how would I go about saving cosmetics player is wearing? Its mobile game and I have shop with cosmetics, I want to save what cosmetic player is wearing and when player comes back, game remembers current cosmetic

It would be a seperate gameobject on which character just has different sprite and new animator controller with new sprite animations

Should I save bool and on Start method check If any saved bools match and SetActive gameobject that matches the bool? I will try this

[covert whale]

u could have a list of prefabs of the cosmetics and u then save the index of the prefab and use that to instantiate the right cosmetic object

[still tendon]

how do i modify x position during rotation?

i expect the orange shape to stay with the line but the y also get modified, breaking its position

[unreal meadow]

can I see your code?

[still tendon]

    void Update()
    {
        if (isCounterClockwise)
        {
            rotation += Time.deltaTime * speed;
        }
        else
        {
            rotation -= Time.deltaTime * speed;
        }
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, rotation);

    }

the line rotation

        void movePlacement(float amount)
        {
            Vector2 position = this.transform.position;
            position.x = position.x + amount;
            this.transform.position = new Vector2(position.x, this.transform.position.y);
        }

and the code for changing the orange shape position

[unreal meadow]

hrmmm

Now I'm not 100% sure, but my instinct is telling me you should be using an algorithm that uses pi to determine your vector.

Have you tried something like that yet?

[still tendon]

not yet

not sure how i can implement that

[unreal meadow]

let me see if I can find something

Maybe this: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Transform.RotateAround.html

Unity seems to already have functionality built into transforms

maybe you could just use that

[still tendon]

alright i will look into that

thank you

[compact knoll]

if the orange part is a child of the needle then you shouldn't need to modify it's position at all, it should be relative to the needle object i think i misunderstood the problem here

but try changing its localPosition since that will be relative to the parent object rather than relative to world space

[still tendon]

it works!

never know local position was a thing

thanks guys

Is there a reason why there's no UnityEngine.CharacterController for 2d physics? for real, why...

How to change a single tile opacity in a tilemap? TileMap.SetColor function doesn't seem to work.

[hardy harbor]

hey thanks for these answers last night. I found out that what was keeping my sprite's alpha at 1 was that one of the animations in my Animator messed with the alpha, which apparently keeps me from changing the alpha from script!! It's important to note that that animation was obsolete and not being played at all. Wish I hadn't lost so many hours on this 😦

[toxic anvil]

am not sure how to fix it i tried changing its caps as well

[compact knoll]

the Text type requires the UnityEngine.UI namespace

[toxic anvil]

oh i see thanks i didnt saw it in the video thats why i was confused

its working now

How do I make a villain chase a player?

[gaunt hawk]

How can I make the enemy chase the player in 2D?

Please give me the script.

[abstract olive]

Not the place to ask for hand outs. Show your attempts, and ask your questions.

[misty kelp]

How do I make the enemy chase the player in 2D?

[still tendon]

how can i calculate/know the pixels per unit? From the tutorial i was watching it said that for example when you have a 16x16 sprite it will be 16 pixels per unit, but i have a background which is 240x160 so how do i know the correct pixels per unit for my 2d background?

[snow willow]

You specify the pixels per unit in the import settings for your sprite

[still tendon]

is it not like when you put something random that it wont look how its supposed to look?

[snow willow]

What?

[still tendon]

what should i set the setting to?

[snow willow]

whatever you want

howeve many pixels in your sprite you want to correspond to one unit in game

[still tendon]

with 16x16 sprites i know it will be 16 pixels per unit (from the tutorial i watched) but how do i get the right pixels per unit for a 240x160 sprite?

[snow willow]

how big do you want the 240x160 sprite to be in the game?

[still tendon]

its the background

of my level

[snow willow]

How big do you want it to be

[misty kelp]

Please answer me.

[still tendon]

im making a basic platformer to learn unity

[snow willow]

None of that is an answer to the question of how big you want the background to be

[still tendon]

just as big as the first level i guess

so it covers the level

[snow willow]

If you do 100 pixels per unit, your background will be 2.4x1.6 units

[snow willow]

great how big is the first level?

[still tendon]

i dont know yet, i was just watching a tutorial to get basics scripts and like a small start to be able to design my own levels and scripts

[snow willow]

pixels per unit is exactly what it says

if you want your 240x160 background to be 100 units wide, you'd do 2.4 pixels per unit

[still tendon]

so i should maybe design the level first and then look at background size? or what would an experienced indie dev do?

[snow willow]

that, or just try some different values out until it feels right

[still tendon]

alright thx for the help

il just play around with it

[misty kelp]

Heya folks. Using the 2D Tilemap to create an isometric realtime game where I'm running into issues thinking about the projectiles entering the backfaces of the tilemap objects.

When the projectile enters from the upper right and the white square is the collider, is there a way to get past the green line there and somehow implement a way for the projectile to "hit the wall" inside the green circle?

Basically trying to implement height into the 2d tilemap. Is this better done with a 3d project altogether? (Sorry if this is the wrong channel, it is technically a programming problem, please redirect me elsewhere if applicable)

Hey there people! I joined this server to get some help on this kind of coding stuff. I love platformers, and my dream is to embrace monke and create something DKC related.

[unborn robin]

is there a way to get the vertices of the trail renderer and apply them to the spline to make a moving stem?

[subtle vessel]

if you use a line renderer you can edit the points directly

[unborn robin]

in the code or the editor?

[subtle vessel]

both

[unborn robin]

ah

[subtle vessel]

it looks like TrailRenderer also has a SetPositions method, so you could use that

[still tendon]

Hello, I'm new to Unity (not to C#).
I've attached this script to a gameobject. Within it's Update method is just this.

void Update()
    {
        Vector3 pos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
        Vector3 dir = Input.mousePosition - pos;
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);
    }

It's supposed to make the object face the mouse, but when i save it and preview in the Game tab, the rotation does not change. Am I missing something

[subtle vessel]

it depends on whether you want trail behavior (appears behind a moving object then disappears) or line behavior (is always there)

[subtle vessel]

Do you have any other scripts or components taht might be setting the rotation? Maybe an animation on the object?

[still tendon]

Nothing

its just a fresh made gameobject

[subtle vessel]

have you tried using Debug.Log to see what values you're getting for pos, dir, and angle?

[unborn robin]

iv'e been trying to use sprite shape, but the tracking is weird

[still tendon]

i look in inspector of it

it never changes off 0

the code essentially not running

[unborn robin]

also i want it to have a sprite because i want to animate the vine, plus shange the sprite at certian times

[still tendon]

this means script is attached right

[subtle vessel]

the Player script is attached, yes

have you tried using Debug.Log to see if the code is running?

😉

[still tendon]

ill trry

it's not running

[dapper notch]

yo what you guys talking about?

[still tendon]

but why

[still tendon]

@dapper notch this

[dapper notch]

oh cool

[subtle vessel]

show the whole script

[still tendon]

Let's see if "start" is running

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

public class Player : MonoBehaviour
{
    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        Debug.Log("Unity!");
        Vector3 pos = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(transform.position);
        Vector3 dir = Input.mousePosition - pos;
        float angle = Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg;
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);
    }
}

[subtle vessel]

hmm... nothing obviously wrong

are any scripts running?

[still tendon]

what

this is the only script

[subtle vessel]

make a new script, just put a debug statement in Start, and attach it to the object

[still tendon]

ok

[subtle vessel]

did you press play?

[still tendon]

no

lol

[subtle vessel]

lollll okay, well yeah, that's the problem

🙂

[still tendon]

Alright

Hmm

so rotation Z is 180 to -180?

i need to lerp rotation in my game and with past engines, ive had issues with it doing full rotations when it passes 180 to -180

[subtle vessel]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Mathf.LerpAngle.html

[still tendon]

What's the 'f' in mathf

[subtle vessel]

float

its Unity's math library

it is mostly a wrapper for the C# Math library using floats instead of doubles, but with some other stuff too

[still tendon]

So minangle is the current angle

maxangle id use the new angle

and time is the lerp time?

[subtle vessel]

hmm... that documentation example is really weird

Mathf.LerpAngle(float startAngle, float endAngle, float percentLerped)

[still tendon]

that's what I figured

I'm currently porting my HTML5 game to Unity

Great

float angle = Mathf.LerpAngle(transform.rotation.z, Mathf.Atan2(dir.y, dir.x) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + 90, 0.25f * 1.4f);
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.AngleAxis(angle, Vector3.forward);

time to figure out how to do this properly

Hey guys im not sure if this is possible but I want to have a reflective raycast, which sounds simple enough except sometimes it enters the collider and freaks out (in vector3.reflect) (used in 2D)

So when i subtracted 1 from x and y from the hitpoint, it worked really well when reflected off the walls to the top and right,
but ofcourse not the left and bottom walls.

How would i go about accurately moving the hitpoint 1 unit closer to the player so it doesnt enter the colliders?

[copper seal]

just use 1 raycast

use its direction vector and vector3.reflect on the normal of the hit surface and send a raycast in the new direction

How would I go about firing toward enemy locations?

Would I include this logic within the enemy class or within the projectile class

[plush coyote]

certainly not in the enemy class, you would handle it from whatever is actually firing the projectiles

if a turret is trying to fire at an enemy, it makes sense for the turret to be dictating where its shooting

not the projectile or the enemy

[boreal cobalt]

hey all, so i made a lil platformer game, i want to make the Enemy walk and shoot is it supposed to be hard?
i never done something like this, what approach i should go with?

[austere lagoon]

I still need help with this...

[wraith bay]

Is 'Pixels' a class, or a struct? Classes in C# are reference types, meaning that if you have a line like 'horizontalMovement = maxRunHorizontal', both of those variables now point to the same object and if you later say 'horizontalMovement.blocksMovement = 0', it will change 'maxRunHorizontal.blocksMovement' as well

[austere lagoon]

That is wierd, never knew that, so i use a struct?

[wraith bay]

A struct is a value type, so if you make Pixels a struct and say 'horizontalMovement = maxRunHorizontal', it will create a copy of maxRunHorizontal and assign it to horizontalMovement. As an example, Vector2 and Vector3 are structs in Unity, so they behave this way.

[sonic kestrel]

How can i use OnCollisionEnter to detect when there is not a collision with a object with a specific tag.

[lean estuary]

@sonic kestrel You'll probably have to make all of your objects to register to a collection when they are colliding, like a HashSet, so they can be found easily. And lookup if the object is there when anything collides

(then remove them on collision exit)

[sonic kestrel]

Can i make it only detect object with a certain tag / layer?

[lean estuary]

Yes

There's a physics collision matrix. (Pinned in #⚛️┃physics )

[sonic kestrel]

Thanks, but there is nothing about filtering...

[lean estuary]

If you uncheck interaction, it won't be registered.

The issue is mainly when there is just one player, in other words, just 1 member in my Target Group

There are situations in the game where I need to "teleport" the player's main transform position to a close position on the screen, and that's when my issue happens

The virtual camera snaps to the new position instead of blending/tweening/damping properly

Which looks very weird, so I'm trying to solve this snapping issue

I already tried:

• Spawning a new virtual camera and enabling it to force blending
• Add a dummy new member that stays fixed when the teleporting happens

neither works 😦

[late viper]

why don't you lerp the player's position instead of teleporting it?

[hardy harbor]

I couldn't do that visually (it would go through objects/walls)

but I can spawn an object per player to do that separately from the sprite

thanks! I'll try it

[untold phoenix]

How would I get a 2d map like google maps in unity that can have locations and stuff marked on it? But not google maps because the API costs money

[snow willow]

have you tried googling "google maps api alternatives"?

[untold phoenix]

Yes but I need satellite map and I haven’t found any that are free

[snow willow]

maybe there aren't any free ones

satellites are expensive

[untold phoenix]

I did find map box I’ll try that out

Also does anyone know how to get real time gps location I have gps location code it’s just not real time

I have found some code just hasent worked

hello

 using System.Collections;
 
 public class laser : MonoBehaviour 
 {
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {
     

     }
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
     
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift))
         {

            Debug.Log("i should fire laser now");

         }

     }
    
 }```

why is this script not working

[snow willow]

Update doesn't run if the GameObject the script is attached to is deactivated

Hey! I am running into an issue with my game designing journey that I just recently started about a week ago... I am on Unity 2020.3.14f1 using URP in a 2D Pixel Platformer project. I am also using CorgiEngine as base, if that makes a difference at all! 🙂

As you can see these plants are waving in the background and they do not conform to a pixel grid. These, among a fair amount of other elements (like particles... Mostly particles!) would have to conform to a pixelated style. However, the free, inter-pixel movement of the character(s) in my scene and the camera is something I'd want to keep.

Using camera stacking to have my UI in game means I cannot use the Pixel Perfect camera asset's 'Upscaled Render Texture' feature. This is also not desirable since it'd lock the camera to pixel movement as well.

Is there any way of pixelating only the elements on layers I WANT them to be pixelated? Some kind of shader applied only to the layers for wavy plants and particles, for example? Basically keeping the 'intended' resolution (288 x 162 // 16PPU) in mind for all elements, excluding the player and camera which would still move freely in sub-pixel increments?

I have little to no C# knowledge and am really new to Unity (come from a few years of Game Maker Studio 2) so my base knowledge is MINIMUM! 😂

[marble carbon]

Hi, I'm making a lot of SetTile calls. In the editor, it completes the process in 6 - 7 seconds, but standalone takes about 5 minutes. All of it is done on the same PC. Anyone know what could cause this to happen?

[marble carbon]

Nvm, I fixed it, I was being dumb and loaded a new sprite each time I called the SetTile function.

[vague solar]

Hey

[vital comet]

Hi, I am trying to drag a sprite with mouse like in table games but raycast doesn’t see it.How can i fix it?

[modest cargo]

URP has a "camera stack" feature which you may be able to use to render the background with a Pixel Perfect camera, and lay the normal camera on top of that

[naive solar]

That'd be perfect, but the Pixel Perfect camera didn't seem to work on stacked cameras and overlays?

[snow willow]

Does the sprite have a collider? And if so, is it 2D or 3D collider?

[idle ruin]

Hi, new to unity and new~ish to C#. I've been trying to modify a projectile of mine to increase in speed permanently after the user collects a pickup, but after its picked up only 1 projectile can be fired at a time. Anything other projectiles just stand still. (Unlike pre-pickup.)

I suspect it has something to do with it being a prefab, and perhaps I'm only modifying the first Projectile, but I'm a bit stumped currently.

[snow willow]

You haven't given much detail here. It's a bug in your code, that's all I can say for sure based on the information given

[idle ruin]

I can link a pastebin of my code if preferred, but I'd much rather appreciate advice on how I might go about modifying a prefab projectile's script, instead of modifying (what I think) is a singular one.

[snow willow]

I don't understand what you mean by that

you have a reference to the prefab? You can modify variables on it or call functions on it

just make sure you're keeping your references to the prefab and to instances of the prefab straight

never reassign the prefab reference for example

seeing the code will probably help pinpoint where you're going wrong

[idle ruin]

https://pastebin.com/cyDDiDUP Currently its in 3 separate scripts, Projectile is attached to the physical Projectile Prefab, and the other two are attached to the pickup.

ignore line 33-34, was testing something before I asked a question here

[snow willow]

As far as I can tell WeaponCollectiblePickup.cs: doesn't do anything

other than modify a bunch of its own internal variables

oh wait I see it

it's calling ModifiedBaseCalculations

[idle ruin]

So I setup WeaponCollectiblePickup.cs that way to attempt to simplify future pickup items I add, in an attempt to make that easier

[snow willow]

okso your mainproblem is something like...

In Awake() for Projectile you have this:

    private void Awake()
    {
        boxCollider = GetComponent<BoxCollider2D>();
        anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
        _speed = speed;
        __speed = speed;
    }```

for the projectile

so every time you isntantiate a projectile, you're setting the global projectile speed to whatever the speed variable of the prefab you just instantiating is

there's also whatever projectileSpeedModifier is set to on WeaponFireSpeedBoost

make sure that's set correctly

Also where's the code that actually shoots the projectiles?

[idle ruin]

That's in a separate script, all it does is create an array of the prefab projectiles, and create a way to fire the projectile (https://pastebin.com/mt3iv4sa)

The speed variables should be properly set, as previously I had trouble getting the variables from WeaponCollectiblePickup.cs to Projectile.cs and those helped me figure that problem out.

[snow willow]

It's doing this too:
ireballs[FindFireball()].GetComponent<Projectile>().SetDirection(Mathf.Sign(transform.localScale.x));

this is modifying the projectile script on the prefab

wait

you're not actually Instantiating anything at all?

Are you just recycling a bunch of objects from an array?

[idle ruin]

I thought I was, but I might have just been doing that instead

[snow willow]

yeah you're not instantiating anything - you're basically using a poor man's object pooling

which is fine

[idle ruin]

So if I Instance the prefab correctly, theoretically that should help fix the problem I'm having?

[snow willow]

i'm not sure tbh

your code is kinda complicated

and there's a lot of things that could be going wrong

some of which might have nothing to do with the scripts

but how things are set up in the editor

[idle ruin]

I'll see what I can figure out based on this first, I think what the problem is (for me) is since I'm pooling the projectiles, I'm only modifying the first projectile in the pool, instead of modifying the prefab and instancing it. I really appreciate the help so far

[outer wagon]

Its possible to use Aseprite for using Unity 2D bones? or that unity tool only accepts .psb/.psd?

[snow willow]

You can use any sprites you want

it's just simple to import them as a group with the psb/psd importer thing

[outer wagon]

Aseprite doesn't have psd/psb export :/

nvm

[lament elbow]

Anyone know how I can now make whatever object is holding this code follow the cam's Y position?
Should be a super simple code, just not working for some reason.
Btw the parallax works, just want it to stay with the players Y position aka the camera's y position. It's a 2D game.

[subtle vessel]

when you set transform.position, use cam.transform.position.y instead of transform.position.y

[lament elbow]

Thanks m8 lemme try that.

Ohhh thank you so much!

It worked LOL Thanks!

I kept trying to make new lines of code and was so confused.

[modest cargo]

I've not tried it, might be a limitation like that

[naive solar]

I think I am gonna NOT use URP... Seems to have quite a few problems 😂

[modest cargo]

Use what works for you best
No render pipeline is perfect, but seems that most problems people have with them are misunderstood or misused features

[naive solar]

Yeah, well I moreso meant that FOR ME it poses a bunch of problems

[left yoke]

Hey can someone join vc and help me with calling a function from another script? Shouldn't be long.

[shrewd spindle]

Send some screenshots. What seems to be the problem?

[left yoke]

All good now but thanks for responding

[shrewd spindle]

Ok

[lament elbow]

Is there anyone online that can help me figure out why I can't jump while climbing?

I think this code below might be it, but idk.
myRigidBody.velocity = climbVelocity;

Dunno what to do about it either if it is.

[vocal condor]

#854851968446365696

For information on how to post code

You're overwriting velocity multiple times.

The last manipulation of velocity will be the final result of velocity.

[lament elbow]

OHHH thank you for that. I was wondering how people did that. Feel kinda dumb not noticing the read me LOL

[lament elbow]

Ok so you mean where I put Mathf........velocity.y) > Mathf.Epsilon; (In the climb)

Do you know what I should do there?

[vocal condor]

I see you setting velocity equal to climb velocity and jump velocity.

You're overriding the other when this happens.

[lament elbow]

Ok maybe I could do an if & else there to test if jump velocity is active.

Nah that might not work.

[vocal condor]

Where do you call jump?

It's the reason why velocity may be overwriting itself but not the reason you're not able to jump; perhaps not, at the very least.

[lament elbow]

if (CrossPlatformInputManager.GetButtonDown("Jump") && extraJumps > 0)

The fourth line in the jump image code..... roughly 😅

idk if that's what you mean

[vocal condor]

When do you call Jump()?

[lament elbow]

Ohhhh

[vocal condor]

And when do you call ClimbLadder()?

[lament elbow]

void Update()
{
if (!isAlive) { return; }
LookDown();
LookUp();
Run();
ClimbLadder();
Jump();
FlipSprite();
Die();
transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, transform.position.y, 0);

}

I could try moving it above climbladder

[vocal condor]

So do you want to ignore climbing whilst jumping?

[lament elbow]

That would work.

[vocal condor]

Or at the very least for a period of time

In case you want to allow climbing again; jumping between climbs

[lament elbow]

My main problem is, when I get to the top of the ladder, my feet are still technically touching that layer and I can't jump.

So if someone were to run over to where the top of the ladder is at the edge of a platform to jump across to another platform he doesn't move or he just runs off the edge.

But yeah, anything is better than being unable to jump. Pretty much anything helps 😅

[lament elbow]

This would be fine. Have any ideas. If not that's fine.

[urban lantern]

if i have the asset like this

on the same image

i need to cut it in photoshop for me to use it?

or its a simple way?

[maiden forge]

You can go to the right-side on inspector and select Multiple for sprites I think. Then click apply then click sprite editor and click splice and do by grid size and set it to size of your sprites @urban lantern

[urban lantern]

i cant find the multiple for sprites

can u send a ss?

oh i think i found how

thank you

[maiden forge]

Select the sprite sheet, then on the right side of your screen there should a tab called inspector and in the inspector there it should be this:

Then you can do Slice, Grid by cell size, Enter the X and Y value of how big your sprites are, then click Slice, then apply top right..

[urban lantern]

how i unable this thing

i acc press something and this showed up

and now i cant scale things

[dense charm]

Think you might've pressed E?

W E and R are the hotkeys for those

try each of them, you'll understand

[urban lantern]

ok thanks

[still tendon]

I made that for a 2d character movements but it doesn't work i still don't know why since there is no error messages

[lean estuary]

@still tendon Please use code posting guidelines #854851968446365696

[still tendon]

Can't i am on my phone

Just gonna let it down never mind

[lean estuary]

#854851968446365696 Has a template you can copy directly to post the code in.

(not sure if third party paste sites work for mobile)

[still tendon]

Nah am good 3h i am on it its just annoying and frustrating

[upper sparrow]

Is anything wrong with this movment script

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

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{

public float speed = 5;
// Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{

// Update is called once per frame
void Update()

    float h = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
    float v = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");

    Vector2 pos = transform.position;

    pos.x += (h * Time.deltaTime);
    pos.y += (v * Time.deltaTime);

    transform.postition = pos;

}

}

bc i am getting this error:Assets\scripts\PlayerMovement.cs(26,19): error CS1061: 'Transform' does not contain a definition for 'postition' and no accessible extension method 'postition' accepting a first argument of type 'Transform' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[inner lagoon]

you spelled position wrong

lmao

my brain is an actually pea

but ty!

it worked!

[mental portal]

hey so i was designing an idling for my 2d player so that it does not look like its walking when its in one place and i came across a problem
i got what i needed
but whenever i click the w key
for movement up
the player doesnt walk, instead it just moves up without looking like its walking up

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/497874004401586176/866031930633617428/Top-Down_RPG_-_Test_-_PC_Mac__Linux_Standalone_-_Unity_2020.3.12f1_Personal___DX11__2021-07-17_15-01.mp4

heres a clip ^

as u can see when it moves in every direction it works/walks perfectly fine

but whenever it goes up it looks weird...

[compact knoll]

it's rapidly switching between the animation states so your transition conditions may not be entirely set up right

[lost phoenix]

i need

help

[void path]

how would i make a player controller that when it hits a wall it can it moved on that wall like lets say i wanted to hit a platform over me i jump to it i stick to it then can move back and forth on that platform make with one off the left and right

[ebon fable]

You'll want some logic to detect the collision with the wall. Probably only when you've collided on your characters head or sides and your characters feet aren't touching the ground

Once that is detected you can remove gravity/limit movement parallel to the wall. Id recommend looking into states + state machines. Id also use different colliders for each side of the character

[void path]

thanks ok off to learn how to do that hahahaha

[distant pecan]

thats because you have multiple transitions conditions for the same transition and/or something is wrong in your code

also a void move using transform.position

[candid maple]

Hello!
I'm not sure which category should I post my problem in.
I am creating a simple 2D space themed platformer right now.
I would like to create a simple door opening and closing animation.
I created one, and it is working well with the door I put it on.
However, if I want to put it on an other (same-looking) door, it won't work, because the clip has animated position for one door only. (I only move the door on the Y coordinates so it goes up and down on the Y axis.)
I figured out I can solve this problem by creating "totally different" clips for the other door, but then I have to change the code as well, to play these clips, which will require way too many code after like 20 doors.
Is there a better solution for this problem?

[split portal]

You should make a prefab of the door with the script on it, I think

[cunning whale]

Hi guys, Im doing a game project and im having a problem that the player sprite animation will goes back to the starting position after the attacking animation is played . I want the player and the rigidbody stay at the position where the attacking animation sprites end.

This is my character controller moving and attack script

[solar thicket]

probably you want to disable root motion so that your animation doesn't move your character?

[honest python]

so I'm kinda confused about what to do with the pixel perfect camera

I have a game with a consistent 9 pixels per unit

then what do I put the settings of the pixel perfect camera at?

[vital comet]

Yes it does and it is 2D

[honest python]

the camera size is 10

[scenic patio]

Hey how can i make a function that rotates an object in the Z axis to -5, then back to 5 and then -5 again looped?

[honest python]

with a delay?

[scenic patio]

like a walking animation left right left right but im wokring on a solution rn

i think it will work

[snow willow]

and how are you trying to raycast?
If you're using the mouse you should use Physics2D.GetRayIntersection

[frigid minnow]

Don't really know where to ask this question but: how in the world are people accomplishing simple sorting layer stuff in a top-down format?

Things closer to the bottom rendering in front

That sort of thing

I have walls on the same sorting layer as the player, both set to order 0

But no matter where the player is, they render on top of the wall

Is there something else I'm not getting?

[cursive geyser]

would anyone be able to help me with this puzzler: I'm trying to make a top down shooter, and I want to have bullet count upgrades. The issue is, I don't know how to automatically add spread for each number of bullets. Would this be reasonably possible?

this is what I have so far, but im stuck on how to evenly space the bullets

well that didnt work

[tame turret]

You get a random rotation and iterpolate towards it from your gun rotation

like this ```Transform gun;
GameObject bulletPrefab;

var spread = 0.1f; // 0 = straight, 1 = any direction, 0.05 = some moderate spread
var bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, gun.postion, Quaternion.Slerp(gun.rotation, Random.rotation, spread));``` (not tested, but the idea should be clear)

[cursive geyser]

wow thats a method i hadnt even thought of thank you

what i was trying to do was make it kinda like this

but this will work too

[tame turret]

the above method can be extended to do all sorts of spreads... also 2D

All depends on how you constrain the random rotation

[uneven bolt]

i wish i could remember all of the different things you half to do to code lol

[tame turret]

learn to walk before you run 😉... then its easy to remember

[cursive geyser]

this is what i ended up doing

its kinda a mix of the original thing and what you suggested

oh i love this already

[cursive geyser]

how would you recommend doing 2d enemy AI/pathfinding

[compact knoll]

for pathfinding, check out the A* Pathfinding project, super easy to get started with and there are plenty of tutorials, including one from brackeys

[cursive geyser]

neat

[honest python]

the pixel perfect camera isn't working correctly I think

my camsize is 11

my ppu is 9 for everything

so my reference resolution is 297 : 198

cuz the res is 3:2

but it still transforms the sprites all weirdy

[honest python]

look it's perfectly on the grid

but then in game it looks like this

[delicate moat]

i was wondering if anyone could help me with a little issue i cant find a solution anywhere else to. does anyone have any idea how to have a 2d character stick to a slope. whenever i try to walk up the slope it slows down and the starts going down the slope. it probably got some painfully easy answer. thanks!

[grand coral]

if you are moving using rigidbodies, you can apply a physics material to the slope with 100% friction

you might have to move it up the slope a bit differently though in that case

@delicate moat

you could also check if it's touching the slope in update and if it is and no keys are being pressed then set the rigidbody's velocity to 0

otherwise set the velocity to whatever you need it to move with the keys pressed

[delicate moat]

i just started reading up on friction, so i create a material and then apply that to the script?

[grand coral]

yeah make a Physics Material 2D

then turn up friction all the way and apply it to the slope object

i'm realizing the second method, although more complicated, might actually work better for your purposes though

bc with the friction at 100% you might not be able to go up the slope either

[delicate moat]

i got it working, thanks man!

[grand coral]

sweet

[still tendon]

How do I scale like this programmatically?

given the image is a 1:1 scale, how do I scale the UI.Image to the Canvas width but keep aspect ratio for the height?

[solar thicket]

maybe this will help you https://www.hallgrimgames.com/blog/2018/10/16/unity-layout-groups-explained

[still tendon]

Nothing have worked so far...

Oh wait I found the solution. (Using Aspect Ratio Fitter -> Envelope Parent)

[honest python]

How do I set the reference resolution for my pixel perfect camera

My ppu is 9 my camsize is 12 and the aspect ration is 3 : 2

[modest cargo]

Reference resolution depends on how big you want your assets to appear on the visible game area

Before it's enlarged to fit your device's screen

[honest python]

Then how do I fix it looking tlike this

[modest cargo]

"like this"?

Looks pretty good to me

[honest python]

The sprites aren't being displayed correctly

Some pixels are just gone

Some assets that are one pixel thick aren't even being didplayed at all

[modest cargo]

For starters, use reference resolutions that match your aspect ratio, like 300x200

[honest python]

Shouldn't they be divisible by 9?

Since that's my ppu

[modest cargo]

I'm not sure if that's a thing

What definitely works is take your display resolution and divide it by 2, 4, 8 or any power of two value to get a reference resolution

But that's specific to that resolution
Also, make sure your Game window is displaying the game at the intended display resolution

[honest python]

Where can I see the display resolution

[modest cargo]

Game window dropdown menu

under "free aspect"

[honest python]

Isn't that the aspect ratio

[modest cargo]

Well, normally you know the display resolution from the device or monitor you're intending the game to be played on, and things generally work as long as the aspect ratio matches in the game window

[modest cargo]

It also has the option for fixed resolution

[honest python]

I see

Then just divide that by any power of 2 until it kinda matches my camera's borders?

[modest cargo]

Ideally, but the game window seems to behave a bit weirdly at times

If your target is say, your monitor's full screen resolution, normally the editor cannot display that because it always adds borders, so pixel perfect isn't working 100% in editor either

Here it is set up correctly to display every pixel as 4 pixels on a 1920x1080 monitor

though in editor the pixels are obviously messed up because it's always shrinked a bit after the pixel perfect is applied

Camera size is controlled by the pixel perfect component at runtime so that's apparently not important

If you want to make sure it's working right, you can enable "run in edit mode" for pixel perfect camera, and make a game window resolution option that matches your reference resolution, and give it space so there will be no resizing

[rich nacelle]

yo guys im working on a game atm that i wanna publish for android but i cant switch the Platform can sum1 help me

[honest python]

Also in game view?

[honest python]

Thanks so much!

[modest cargo]

Specifically in game view
How things look in scene view doesn't have an exact bearing on how things will look like when the game is played

[honest python]

So will it not look like that in the build version or?

Oh wait ye it shouldn't

Shouldn't you turn upscale render texture on tho?

Otherwise what does it do?

[modest cargo]

It forces everything displayed into the reference resolution

[honest python]

Then what does it do?

The upscale render texture option

[modest cargo]

Above is without, below is with

[honest python]

But above isn't actually in 480 x 270 res for the arrow and the tilted character

[modest cargo]

That's why you have the option

[honest python]

I see

[modest cargo]

Without it, the pixel perfect camera simply snaps its own position into specific pixel increments

Which does look pixel perfect as long as all your sprites are conforming to correct PPU, the pixel grid and do not have uneven scales or rotations

Pixel snapping ensures they stick to the grid
But if you know you have objects that do not conform, upscale render texture takes care of those

[honest python]

Isn't that what pixel snapping does?

So then what's the difference between pixel snapping and not having it

[modest cargo]

Pixel snapping affects sprite renderers

[abstract olive]

Install Android build support from Unity Hub modules.

[honest python]

How so?

[modest cargo]

No snapping

they have sub-pixel space between them

Snapping on, they're perfectly on grid

[honest python]

I'm confused

Isnt the pixel perfect cam supppsed to render everything on the res u set

How can it mess this up when the sprites are not rotated

[modest cargo]

Intuitively you'd think that
But by default it only snaps and resizes the camera

The extra options Upscale Render Texture is the option to make everything truly pixel perfect

[honest python]

I see

Thanks for all the help man!

In a game jam rn so ye

14 days tho so not too much stress

[modest cargo]

Good luck!

[honest python]

Thanks

[rich nacelle]

i did but it teleported me into unityhub and told me that "The editor version 2020.3.12f1 is located by the Hub. You cannot add modules to a located Editor" what should i do?

[abstract olive]

You need to do it inside of Unity Hub.

Choose the version you've installed, click the three dots to open the modules list.

[vale dock]

ok so this might be a weird question, i am still fairly new to unity but have some basics down. Working on a pixel top down adventure game and currently working on allowing for the players sprite to be customized. I have lots of different customization options from a pack (im not good with art side of game design, so i am using free art packs mainly from pipoya on itch.io) i have spritesheets of bodies and hair styles for example that have a sprite for each direction the player moves (prob not explaining that well but you will see from pics). Creating the UI for character customization with buttons to swap a player prefabs spritesheet is not the issue for me, but how i am thinking i have to do this, since the spritesheets have multiple "versions" of the single sprite for each direction, after the character selects the options, i need to then take all the options they wanted into a single spritesheet and then cut it to get each piece for the animations, will send pics below

so this is like a "base" spritesheet

and then say the character added hair, it would swap the hair part of the player prefab to result in this

is there a way to allow for customization like this and then break it into its individual pieces using a player prefab with a hair part, body part, etc

or is there a way to make the game combine the options as one png file and then break it apart into the sprites for the animations?

[abstract olive]

Usually you want to separate the pieces out entirely instead of baking them into the body.

If these aren't your sprites, then you'll have a bit of photoshopping to do.

[vale dock]

that was my original plan of what i thought id have to do, but then i started to like the idea of the player being able to see how the customizations looked for each direction while choosing so was wondering if there was a better way, thank you for your time and reply though

[abstract olive]

You can still achieve that?

Your sprite is going to be made up of a collection of layer sprites. Body, Hair, Shirt, Shoes, etc.

When they're flipping between options, you're simply replacing the sprite in that object's SpriteRenderer with the select sprite.

And for your preview of the character, you'll just have 12 of them standing there if you want. Or better yet, let the player rotate the character using input as they would if they were moving them around (just without actually moving them).

[vale dock]

oh true, i dont know why i didnt think of that. so then on the topic of the movement animations, would i just need to replace each of the sprites with the corresponding direction variant then in the animator?

i think i can do that, it will be a lot of tedious work, but that should work as a solution im thinking

so like when the player moves left, i replace the body with the left moving body, hair with left moving hair, etc

[abstract olive]

I probably don't want to use the animator for this, no.

Being a sprite animation, you can just animate it in code, and make it generic.

When the direction goes left, swap all the SpriteRenderers to their left versions of the sprite.

That way you don't care what type of the hair the character has.

(This would be a good usecase for ScriptableObjects by the way).

[vale dock]

ah ok, yeah i came from unreal so im not great with C#, but if its possible thats good enough for me, ill keep trying and looking into it

thank you so much

[dusty bough]

I can't figure out if I'm doing something wrong:
a) If I have a Sprite Rendered attached to a GameObject, and that I rotate it's Transform on the Y axis by 180, it flips. Yay.
b) If I have a Sprite Rendered attached to a GameObject, and that I rotate it's parent Transform on the Y axis by 180 using the property grid, it moves. Nayyyyy.
c) If I have a Sprite Rendered attached to a GameObject, and that I rotate it's parent Transform on the Y axis by 180 using the rotation tool in the Scene, it rotates. Huh?

[snow willow]

when you rotate the parent, if the children have any positional offset, they will move

[snow willow]

As for c it depends on what your tool handle rotation thing is set to - local or global

[dusty bough]

Ohhhhhh. Great, thanks!

The offset was so big (not sure why) that it moved the GameObject WAYYY off screen I didn't notice that it flipped (rotated) too.

I just re-centered the object and everything is fine. Thanks 🙂

This may be wicked easy but I'm new to this so I haven't been able to figure it out by trial and error or searching online. Top down 2D action game with very basic movement. I want certain enemies to put brief status effects on the player. I have co-routines that put him in a block of ice and slow movement by half for 3 seconds and another that puts him on fire for 3 seconds and does damage over time, those work fine. I want one enemy to confuse the player making him go left when you press right (D) and right when you press left (A), and vice-verse with up and down for 3 seconds. How do I switch player movement directions?

[snow willow]

could you just use a bool controlsSwitched and reverse your movement if true?

[rigid vault]

Reversing the movement is the part I can't figure out the code for, not whether it happens or not.

[snow willow]

Can't you just multiply by -1 for your movement?

[rigid vault]

I tired. This is the basic code.

I debugged to make sure the collision and the waiting for seconds was working, they are.

[snow willow]

Just multiply those axis values by -1 as needed to reverse things

[rigid vault]

OK thanks.

[gaunt hawk]

Why is the line renderer shrinking and coming back to it's original size after 1 sec?

[snow willow]

Kinda looks like it's rotating to me

[gaunt hawk]

and it's only the last two points

[snow willow]

is your ball rotating?

[gaunt hawk]

no

wait let me check

just to be sure

Nope, there is nothing about rotation

I tried to change the color in case it might be a texture bug, nope

[snow willow]

what's your code look like?

I also posted it on the Unity Forums, and one guy replied

What he says is probably true, but I don't wanna move to a brand new vector line renderer component for just a single problem

[snow willow]

how's your LineRenderer configured

[gaunt hawk]

There may be some weird settings, I tried to play with them to see if the problem is them

[austere slate]

Is there any way to control the resolution of BakeMesh on LineRenderer? In yellow is my LineRenderer, and in green is the Baked Mesh.

Another example with a thicker line

[vapid lion]

Hey! I have no idea why - but the button only works once, I need it to replay the animations whenever i'm clicking the button - Any suggestions? Thanks! 🙂

[snow willow]

most likely related to how your animation state machine(s) are set up

[vapid lion]

Found the answer, thanks for leading me to it!

[meager quest]

does anyone know why my camera is not displaying anyhting even tho everything is turned on?

[abstract olive]

Show your camera in the scene.

[meager quest]

it is on

[abstract olive]

Okay? Show your camera in the scene. A screenshot of the setup.

[meager quest]

i just deleted the entire project and restarted

[fallow pivot]

im trying to make a nice, snappy rigidbody 2d controller for my character, every tutorial ive found on rigidbody controllers point to setting the velocity but i'd rather not as that might ruin some exploitable features like b-hopping, or any other form of keeping your momentum

in order to preserve that i've set it to primarily use the addforce method, the only problem being that everything my character walks on is treated like ice, as you just speed up over time starting from nothing

[snow willow]

Thee alternative is to add enough force over a short duration to accelerate very quickly

THis means VERY LARGE forces for very short time to accelerate and very large forces over a short time to decelerate

[fallow pivot]

right cool that's helpful thank u

[snow willow]

Also to make your life easier

well nvm

you're using 2D phuysics

[fallow pivot]

yea

[snow willow]

if you were using 3D physics you could use ForceMode.Acceleration

which makes the math a little easier

or ForceMode.VelocityChange

but 2d only has Impulse and Force

[fallow pivot]

im sure i could still check the docs for those two to see how they're done right?

[snow willow]

Neither of those take the body's mass into account, so generally to make your life easier you can do Impulse and multiply the force by rb.mass

and I think that will get you the same behavior as VelocityChange

and if you do Force and multiply the force by rb.mass, that will give you the same behavior as Acceleration

[dusty bough]

Can someone explain to me what's happening here:

Left is the Game window, right the Scene. When I turn around, I apply a 180 rotation (y axis) on everything. The box is parented to the object I rotate, but disappear. Not sure why.

[sleek sinew]

is its z value changing so that the camera cant see it?

[woeful sentinel]

yes, proly the z value was changed

[drowsy minnow]

uh hello in my game I have a sequence where there will be a fight but I don't know at all how to go about it I looked on the internet but I only found people looking for help so I come to ask you here I would like the character to be able to move but it has already been done and when he presses on j he does a kick, on a punch, on a dash (to dodge that the teleport a little forward), i for an ultimate attack which slows down the movements and makes an attack and to finish o to transform and to make the attacks he gains a little mana like 10 mana per hit and when he has 100 mana he has an attack what I just said will be linked to a canvas thank you for helping me I know it's a long time but I don't know at all where to start and how to go about it I'm starting thanks to you

[modest cargo]

Are you asking how to make an entire fighting system? Or what, exactly

[drowsy minnow]

well I must do that except that I do not know at all how to go about it so it would be necessary to refer me so that I can then do it but after if there are hot people to do everything and then explain to me how they are done that suits me even I would prefer to do it myself it's better to learn

[late viper]

Holy run on sentence batman
