[teal gazelle]

but if i dont have that on, the child sprites spin and it looks really dumb

[teal gazelle]

Ugh, im stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I can't use Freeze Rotation on because it completely breaks the physics simulation, it becomes totally unlike physics at all
but I also can't not use it, because then I basically have to recode the entire item system from the ground up to account for the root gameobject potentially rotating and rotating all of its children

like, I COULD write a script that freezes the children's rotation, except right now I want and am using the children's rotation sometimes for certain things, so then I would have to go through and re-write everything and manually unlock and lock the rotation as needed

whole thing is gross. :C wish freeze rotation just worked right instead of not working right

[solar thicket]

are you just trying to get a more accurate reflection off of the wall?

[undone gorge]

hello

i need some help coding a weapon switch system

i want the player when he dosen't have a weapon to pick it up

but if a player has a weapon and want to pick up anather weapon

i want the current weapon to drop and to switch with the new weapon

here is my attemp

 public Transform GunPosition;

    public GameObject CurrentWeapon;
    public GameObject WeaponInRange;

    public bool HasAWapon = false;
    public bool isInRangeWithWeapon = false;

    private void Update()
    {     
        if(isInRangeWithWeapon == true)
        {
            if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
            {
                CurrentWeapon = WeaponInRange;
                CurrentWeapon.transform.parent = GunPosition;
                HasAWapon = true;

                if(HasAWapon == true)
                {
                    CurrentWeapon.transform.parent = null;
                    CurrentWeapon = null;

                    if(CurrentWeapon == null)
                    {
                        if(WeaponInRange != null)
                        {
                            WeaponInRange.transform.parent = GunPosition;
                            CurrentWeapon = WeaponInRange;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

@inland osprey , sorry for pin, but i need some help, i am participing in a gamejam and if i will stay to long at this point trying to figure this out alone i will lose time

[abstract olive]

Don't ping random people for your help, it's obnoxious.

[undone gorge]

ok

[abstract olive]

As for your code, you just need to condense your logic a bit. For example (not tested, but for a general idea):

private void Update()
{
  if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.E) && isInRangeWithWeapon)
  {
      // If the player has a weapon, remove it first
      if (HasAWeapon)      
          CurrentWeapon.transform.parent = null:
      
      // Assign the weapon in range to the player
      CurrentWeapon = WeaponInrange;
      CurrentWeapon.transform.parent = GunPosition;
  }
}

In otherwords, first check if the player has a weapon then remove it. Then add the nearby weapon as the new one second.

You had it reversed.

[teal gazelle]

Yeah, trying to solve the wrong angle of bounce when FreezeRotate Z is on

[solar thicket]

Do you have the physics materials set up to be bouncy and combine properly? Otherwise I would maybe just add the reflection force yourself. You can detect when it hits the wall and at what angle, then zero out the velocity and push it along the reflection vector however hard you want it to bounce.

[teal gazelle]

I'm fairly certain I have the phys material / rigid body / colliders set up properly. I made a new debug gameobject and addForce'd it at a 45 degree angle, when Freeze Rotation Z is set to on, when it hits the wall it bounces perpendicular to the wall, but if Freeze Z is off, it bounces at an angle relative to its impact angle.

I hadn't considered zeroing out at the moment of collider hit, that's a good idea.

[undone gorge]

is not picking up the weapon

and olso thx for response

[strange cove]

Im having this problem so when i made my character animated it gave me an error and my enemy doesnt go towards the player anymore so i belive it is something with the follow script in the enemy so does anyone know how to fix this? error:

[turbid heart]

Are there any other errors? I don’t think that one is a problem. Looks like a unityeditor error you can ignore

[covert whale]

i got that error before but it didn't affect anything and went away when i reset unity

try to reset and see if that helps with the error

cus it could be that the error isn't related to the following problem

[timber shore]

The sprite looks the opposite direction from where it's looking

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

public class veikehjas : MonoBehaviour
{
    private BoxCollider2D boxCollider;
    
    private Vector3 moveDelta;
        
    private void Start()
    {
        boxCollider = GetComponent <BoxCollider2D>();
    }
    
    private void Update() {
  float x = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
  float y = Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical");

  Vector3 moveDelta = new Vector3(x, y, 0f);

  transform.localScale = new Vector3(Mathf.Sign(x), 1f, 1f);

  transform.Translate(moveDelta * Time.deltaTime);
}}```

[undone gorge]

hello i have a problem

here is a vid of the problem

do u guys have any solutions ?

[turbid heart]

you still need to describe the problem, you know

[undone gorge]

when the player picks up a weapon the weapon stays up freesed in the position it was when was in the player's hand

i need the weapon to fall on the ground

but the weapons have a trigger colider

[turbid heart]

well, when the weapon is put down, reset its rotation

[undone gorge]

ok and how to make it fall on the ground ?

[turbid heart]

fall? you want it to fall down using gravity?

if you rely on physics, there's no guarantee it'll land right side up

you could lerp its current rotation to the target rotation to fake the falling

https://gamedevbeginner.com/the-right-way-to-lerp-in-unity-with-examples/

[undone gorge]

idk i just want the weapon to be on the ground

not really to fall

[turbid heart]

then what's wrong with just setting the rotation?

[undone gorge]

nothing

the problem is just the position

of the gun when being "dropted"

[turbid heart]

you could enable gravity for the gun, but constraint the rotation of the rigidbody

and hardcode the rotation so that the gun is the right way up

[undone gorge]

disable the trigger than enabeling it when ist's on the ground and disabeling the gravity ?

[turbid heart]

use rigidbody to allow the gun to behave with physics. Use gravity to allow the gun to fall, but dont allow physics to rotate the gun as it falls. Just hard set the rotation of the gun. That's the summary

hmm..

honestly, I dont know. will the guns always be at the same y?

or will there be platforms

[undone gorge]

platforms

[turbid heart]

you could fake the gun actually

[undone gorge]

interestig ?

[turbid heart]

this is kinda hacky, but the guns you pick up have physics. and when you pick up the gun, you destroy it or disable it. Then just enable a separate gun object in your player's hand

So the ones on the ground can have physics, but the ones in your player hand is a different object, but has no physics

then when you drop the gun, you just.. spawn the gun object(the one with physics)

[undone gorge]

danm

thats a great idea

[turbid heart]

I'm rather proud of it myself, haha. Try it out if you want. I dont know how well it will work. good luck

[undone gorge]

i will

[turbid heart]

you probably have to disable collision between the gun and the player.. but that'll be tricky on how you'll make the guns detect platform, but allow the player to pass through..

that part, honestly, I'm not sure

[undone gorge]

thx for the idea, u really need to be pround of ur self, see ya later, smart man 👍

[undone gorge]

i did that with the enemys

[turbid heart]

I'd love to hear what you ended up using, if you don't mind. all the best

[undone gorge]

ok i will tell u later, i need to do some things, thx for the help, have a nice day : )

[dusky wagon]

Is there any tutorial on making an object follow a certain line or something like a rail system for moving platforms? I have been trying to find some tutorials, but couldnt find any

Essentially what Im trying to do is:

[snow willow]

One thing you could do is look into Cinemachine's Dolly Cart component. It kinda does that for you built in, and you don't have to use it with a camera

could put any object on it

[dusky wagon]

Lets say I have these sprites. I want to make a tilemap that lets me draw these. Then have my object automatically follow the line to the right until it hits the right dot, stop and then switch the direction

[dusky wagon]

Okay let me google how that works

[snow willow]

https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/-2cinemachine-dolly-cart-and-track-2018
Here's a unity learn on it. You can ignore all the camera stuff in there and just look at the track building stuff and waypoints

[dusky wagon]

Hm Im pretty sure I already have a system similar to that, but my main problem is how I can make it automatically adapt to whatever track I draw with the tilemap

[snow willow]

If you want to draw the track with a tilemap you'll need to build that system out yourself

would be pretty easy to do with the dolly cart I think though. Just build a track using the positions of those tiles

[dusky wagon]

Yeah but I was looking for tips and suggestions on how I can do that

[snow willow]

shouldn't be that difficult I'd think

actually - knowing the order in which the tiles were placed might be a big challenge

[dusky wagon]

Oh that doesnt really matter, I want to follow the track after certain rules

[snow willow]

it does matter though

if you want to build a path based on the tiles

[dusky wagon]

There will be more parts than this, this was just an example

But if I build the same path in a different order, the path should be the same

But I have no idea where to start. Where would be the track script if all of the different tracks are on the same tilemap?

[snow willow]

sounds like maybe waht you really want to do is run a pathfinding algorithm on your tilemap

using a particular tile type as the "walkable" tile

and generate a path that way

then you could use that path to either run your own custom code that does the patrolling or use those points to build a dolly track or something similar

[dusky wagon]

Hm okay maybe I want to do that

[hot fog]

hi so i want my boss character to bob up and down but when i make the animation when it finishes and loops back it waits for a split second and doesnt look good ho do i fix

[timber shore]

.

[snow willow]

It looks the opposite direction from where it's looking?

what does that mean

[primal pivot]

I have a weird issue, for quite a while, and only now noticing how to replicate it. So whenever i remove something on my tilemap (as in, on the grid so that square no longer exists in the scene) and i move to where that tile was, it will crash me, always. 🤔

So for example if i wanted to remove a wall in the scene on the grid, if i go to where it once was, it causes a crash, and it's really peculiar. I can change the tiles, but the layout has to remain identical because of that.

[undone gorge]

hey any idea how to make this gun fall and be a trigger after falling down ?

????????

[snow willow]

give it two colliders - one for interacting with the ground, one for interacting with players. Make the ground one a non-trigger and the player one a trigger

use the layer collision matrix to set up what collides with what

[undone gorge]

how to make a colider ignore a colision ?

[snow willow]

like I said, layer collision matrix

[snow willow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/LayerBasedCollision.html

[undone gorge]

but the trigger won't be effected ?

[snow willow]

??

[undone gorge]

if i do the collision matrix the trigger won't be effected ?

[snow willow]

I don't understand the question

[timber shore]

when I move right the character looks left and vice versa

[snow willow]

triggers are affected by the layer matrix like anything else

set up the matrix so it works the way you need

and put the colliders on the appropriate layers

[snow willow]

your sprite is facing left by default then I guess? Just negate the rotation code you have

[undone gorge]

u can set colliders on other layres ?

[snow willow]

Yes of course

you put them on GameObjects that are on the layer you want

[undone gorge]

how can i do that ?

[snow willow]

each collider should be on its own separate child object

with a different layer

[undone gorge]

it dosen't work

[undone gorge]

it dosen't work i set that the weapon layer to not collide with the weapon and it dosen't work

[snow willow]

collision layers work

idk what you did

check the layer of each collider involved

and the way you set up the matrix

the weapon colliding with the weapon isn't your concern here

it's the collision between the player and the weapon and the ground and the weapon

[still tendon]

i want to use the w and s buttons to rotate my object counter-clockwise and clockwise and also change the direction that the objects move

how would i do that

[undone gorge]

ok they work

[dusky wagon]

So I looked at some tutorial about path finding with A*, but I have no idea, how I could modify the algorithm to work for this case.

[snow willow]

A* is the algorithm

[dusky wagon]

Okay maybe I should rephrase that

[snow willow]

Here's 3 example articles that explain how to write it in C#:
https://web.archive.org/web/20170505034417/http://blog.two-cats.com/2014/06/a-star-example/
https://dotnetcoretutorials.com/2020/07/25/a-search-pathfinding-algorithm-in-c/
https://gigi.nullneuron.net/gigilabs/a-pathfinding-example-in-c/

[dusky wagon]

Can I even use the algorithm for this case? I think the first part cant be used, but I dont really want to determine the shortest path towards a destination, but a path along the edges of these rails

[snow willow]

you want the shortest path along the rails

the rails make up the "traversable" elements of your graph

for A* to operate on

[dusky wagon]

Well I dont really want the shortest one, and there isnt an target

[snow willow]

what if you draw the rails like this, what happens?

DDDDD  DDDD
    DDDD
       DDDD```

[dusky wagon]

Is DDDD a singular rail?

[snow willow]

each D is a "rail tile"

[dusky wagon]

Oh okay

Well it would depend on which direction each one of the rails point to

[snow willow]

I think what you need is 3 tile types: rail start, rail, rail end

then you basically do A* from the rail start tile to the rail end tile

to find the path

the rails have directions?

[dusky wagon]

Yes the would all have two directions

Maybe I was a bit unclear when asking

For example here the black things are the rails. I want an object to just follow around this path for eternity and it doesnt matter what ever tiles are placed in the red squares, as each of the rails points towards its two neighbours

[still tendon]

i want to use the w and s buttons to rotate my object counter-clockwise and clockwise and also change the direction that the objects move
how would i do that

[snow willow]

Ok the way i'd do this is somehow mark those tiles with a direction, then give your object a script that just reads the tile it's on and moves in the direction that the tiles says it should move in

so maybe giving each of those tiles a "conveyorBelt" script or something that has a direction field on it

that your follower object can read and determine which way to go

[dusky wagon]

Oh good idea

How would that work on the corner rails though?

[snow willow]

they would just have a direction pointing to their exit

[dusky wagon]

But it would also need to signalize that you have to go into the middle first, and not diagonal towards the end point

[snow willow]

I don't think so. The follower script always goes to the middle of the tile

then goes in the direction the tile says to the next tile's middle

[dusky wagon]

Ah okay

Or maybe I could make each on of the tiles have an array of waypoints the that follower object follows? I would like to have more flexibility with the tiles

[snow willow]

there's a lot of possibilities. I'd look into rule tiles too which could help make placing these tiles a lot faster

[dusky wagon]

Yeah that was what I wanted to do any way

[snow willow]

like you could just have one rule tile selected and drag the path out and the rule tile will select the correct corner tiles etc

[dusky wagon]

But probably not in the intended way

I wanted to use it entirely for placing game objects, since I want to have multiple different possible corner tiles, and rule tiles only react to instances of itself and not other rule tiles on the same tile map

Or maybe I could make a custom rule tile script to make an option to also count any other tile on a tile map as a neighbor, but I havent found out how to do that yet

[snow willow]

I haven't messed with rule tiles much yet either but you can do a lot with the scripts afaik

[turbid heart]

The non trigger ground one should be set to ignore the player’s collider through the matrix thing, right?

[snow willow]

yes

[snow willow]

It's the exact technique I'm using for #archived-works-in-progress message

[turbid heart]

Cool, thanks! I was missing that bit because i don’t have much experience changing the collision matrix, so i suggested a rather roundabout solution for the person earlier

[dusky wagon]

Yeah I found this article here:
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.2d.tilemap.extras@1.6/manual/CustomRulesForRuleTile.html
And I think I can do it with that, Im just trying to understand what exactly it shows in there

[dusky wagon]

Hm I found a solution online, but I have honestly now idea how it works.

public class MyTile : RuleTile<MyTile.Neighbor> {
    public int siblingGroup;
    public class Neighbor : RuleTile.TilingRule.Neighbor {
        public const int Sibing = 3;
    }
    public override bool RuleMatch(int neighbor, TileBase tile) {
        MyTile myTile = tile as MyTile;
        switch (neighbor) {
            case Neighbor.Sibing: return myTile && myTile.siblingGroup == siblingGroup;
        }
        return base.RuleMatch(neighbor, tile);
    }
}

This adds another option for the rule tile called Sibing and counts any other rule tiles that is based on the same script as a neighbour, although I dont see that part where it checks for the neighbour

[primal pivot]

I have this weird issue, where whenever i erase a tile in my scene, if anything enters that area, the entire engine crashes. Even if i disable the entire tilemap so it's not in the scene, entering the areas that were erased (and only those areas) will cause a crash, despite everything no longer existing...

I can replace tiles on the grid, and add them too. But erasing any of them will cause that when entering it 😦 so i'm rather stuck to this same layout

If i add new ones also, removing them creates the same issue. Little areas to crash at

[undone steeple]

Hi, how can I prevent a sprite from sliding after a jump?

I'm using this material for ground, but the sprite still slides

[lean estuary]

You need to use physics to take advantage of physics system

[undone steeple]

Uhm... the problem is that the sprite keeps bouncing or something similar

[lean estuary]

Both objects must have physics material set and moving object has to use dynamic physics and moved using Rigidbody methods.

There's physics tutorial on Unity Learn

[undone steeple]

Yeah I know, I started to have this problem when I changed to another sprite

Oh ok I found the problem, it was the box collider

[honest python]

how do I display objects in the inspector?

[languid lily]

Wdym

[strange cove]

Does anyone know why my character tps when he rotates by me pressing left or right? script: ```csharp
public float moveSpeed = 5f;
public float jumpForce = 5f;

private Rigidbody2D rb2D;

void Start()
{
    rb2D = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
}

void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.D))
    {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, -180, 0);
        transform.Translate(Vector2.right * (Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed), Space.World);
    }
    else if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A))
    {
        transform.rotation = Quaternion.Euler(0, 0, 0);
        transform.Translate(Vector2.left * (Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed), Space.World);
    }

    if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump") && Mathf.Abs(rb2D.velocity.y) < 0.000001f)
    {
        rb2D.AddForce(new Vector2(0, jumpForce), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
    }
}

} ```

[hidden temple]

huh

[strange cove]

?

[hidden temple]

you went from 1 problem to another

[strange cove]

lol sorry im more worried bout this one then the other

[snow willow]

because you're moving it:

transform.Translate(Vector2.right * (Time.deltaTime * moveSpeed), Space.World);```

And it seems like you're mixing up transform.Translate and also Rigidbody motion, as I see AddForce later down

you can't mix and match those

use one or the other.

[strange cove]

alr

[strange cove]

its weird tho because it happened when i made my character animated

[bleak sparrow]

Anyone know what Animator is not playing an AnimatorController means? I'm trying to call an animation from a script located in my bullet script but I get that instead and well the animation isn't activated either.

[hollow crown]

Your Animator is missing its AnimatorController

[bleak sparrow]

It does have it tho :/

[hollow crown]

one of them doesn't. Else it wouldn't be saying that

[snow willow]

Actually this can happen if you tried to call animator.Play("something") on a disabled Animator too

[bleak sparrow]

I am doing that yes, but the animator is not disabled as I use it elsewhere without any issues.

[frigid minnow]

Any ideas why my Raycast2D is still hitting something that is on a layer set to ignore raycasts?

RaycastHit2D lineOfSight = Physics2D.Raycast(gameObject.transform.position, (other.transform.position - owner.transform.position).normalized);

Do I need to do anything particularly special in order to exempt layers set to ignore raycasts?

What's more, is they're detecting trigger colliders

So I don't really understand why

[snow willow]

shouldn't hit anything on the Ignore Raycasts layer.

what object is it hitting?

you sure the collider itself is on that layer?

[frigid minnow]

Just found out I can disable the raycast hitting triggers

[snow willow]

yeah you can

[frigid minnow]

But yep, it's definitely hitting layers it shouldn't

One sec

[snow willow]

Are you sure the collider isn't just on a child object that's not on the ignore raycasts layer?

[frigid minnow]

Effect is toggled to ignore raycast

It hits basically every collider regardless

[snow willow]

nonono

that's not how this works

[frigid minnow]

Wait what

[snow willow]

this is the collision matrix

this means Effect will collide with objects in the Ignore Raycast layer

it has nothing to do with raycasts

[frigid minnow]

Oh psh

Where's the toggle for that then?

[snow willow]

your object has to actually be in the Ignore Raycast layer to be ignored by raycasts by default or you have to use a layer mask in your raycast to filter out layers you don't want.

[frigid minnow]

I see! That's very helpful, thank you :]

[honest python]

even tho I set my aspect ratio to be the only available one in Player settings, in the build the cam is not the same as in the editor

and is less wide

[frigid minnow]

Your build will save preferences if you've previously resized the window in an earlier build

If you made a build, resized the window, then made another build with a specific resolution, it will still use whatever you resized it to in the past

That's my experience anyways

[dusky wagon]

Can anyone explain how this works? Its a custom rule tile script, but the side I found it on has no documentation about how it works

What's state design? Like a state machine?

[dusky wagon]

I am working on a paddle for a pinball game. My original idea was to give it a hinge joint 2d, some angle limits and activate the motor whenever a button is pressed. It kind of works, but when you hold the button, the paddle starts going over its limits for a second and then teleports back which looks really weird. I am assuming that this is happening because the motor has an extremely larger amount of speed. Any idea how I could fix it?

[dusky wagon]

I have made a thing that disables the motor as soon as the paddle reaches its limit, but I cant seem to find a way to make it stop there and only go down again if you are not pressing the button anymore

[limpid drift]

hey guys i was wondering if anyone could help me with a bullet script

right now its really working weird and trying to get it perfect

[mighty compass]

Hi

Need some help

My 2d options such as creating a 2d object dissapeared

Someone?

[high rover]

eh?

can you show

[mighty compass]

Sure

Wait

[sharp lichen]

import the package/ restart Unity

[mighty compass]

Theres no 2d object

[mighty compass]

Yeah but how

Do I import the 2D sprite package

[sharp lichen]

have you ever had 2D in the project?

[mighty compass]

Yes

[sharp lichen]

Any console errors atm?

[mighty compass]

Wait

I think that I was organizing files and moved what I wasnt suppoused to

[sharp lichen]

then move 'em back

[mighty compass]

But I don't know what file it is

[sharp lichen]

window -> package manager -> look for 2d stuff

[mighty compass]

I did that too

[sharp lichen]

and dont move files that you don't know about ;p

[mighty compass]

Cant find anything

[sharp lichen]

Have you got the view displaying Unity pacakges, or packages that are in the project

there are different views.. look around and learn the PM window

[mighty compass]

Ok

wait

Im so dumb

Found it

[sharp lichen]

you don't need to say wait.. I already am waiting

[mighty compass]

Thx

[honest python]

so how do I fix that?

[prisma crow]

how do they make that effect that sometimes an obstacle is rendered above player if player was walking from behind the obstacle in a 2d pixel game?

[austere iron]

Use the sorting layers for your sprites. You can setup a foreground, main, enemies, npc, vfx, background layer and place them in a rendering order . . .

[turbid heart]

Maaybe they come up with a hacky solution, and the obstacle is 2 separate sprites with different sorting order?

I'm thinking of buildings in pokemon I guess

[austere iron]

Oh, you can sort based on y position as well. There are options to choose for sorting . . .

[turbid heart]

oh right, this too

[austere iron]

Even if using sorting layers, you can sort objects within each layer individually . . .

[timber shore]

So cs transform.localScale = new Vector3(Mathf.Sign(x), 0f, 0f); ?

[snow willow]

no...

negate the sign

transform.localScale = new Vector3(-Mathf.Sign(x), 1f, 1f);```

void Shoot()
{
    GameObject bullet = Instantiate(bulletPrefab, firePoint.position, firePoint.rotation);
    Rigidbody2D rb = bullet.GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
    rb.AddForce(firePoint.up * bulletForce);
}

currently, the bullets keep going at the same speed forever, how can i modify this code to make them slowly decelerate?

[snow willow]

One quick and easy way would be to give the bullet's Rigidbody2D some drag

in the inspector

[livid wigeon]

that works, thanks!

[dusky wagon]

How do I get information about a tile of a tilemap at a certain position?

Or to be clearer, that game object placed by the tilemap at a certain position

[snow willow]

I don't think TileMap uses GameObjects for each tile, does it?

[dusky wagon]

No. I have a rule tile that places objects on a tilemap

[snow willow]

There's this: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Tilemaps.Tilemap.GetTile.html

oh

I think you'd have to keep track of that then? Maybe with a Dictionary<Vector3Int, MyObjectType> ?

or maybe that wouldn't work in the editor because dictionaries aren't directly serializable?

But maybe just a list of the object along with its tile coordinate

[dusky wagon]

Hm the problem is that the object only gets instantiated once the game starts

[snow willow]

well that makes it easier actually - then you don't have to worry about serialization

[dusky wagon]

Okay let me look up how a dictionary works, havent worked with that before. Is it similar to a dictionary in python?

Okay yeah, seems to be

[dusky wagon]

But how exactly do I get the game object into this dictionary?

[snow willow]

you put it there when you spawn the object

with the tile coordinate you spawned it at as the key

[dusky wagon]

So I put a script on the object and it adds itself to the dictionary in the awake method?

Yeah that should work. Thanks a lot for the help again!

[snow willow]

that's one way to do it but you'd need to get the tile coordinate somehow

the code that spawns the object could also put it in

This will be really useful for you as well to get the tile coordinate for a given position in the world:
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GridLayout.WorldToCell.html

[dusky wagon]

Couldnt I just take the transform of the object?

[snow willow]

you need to the tile coordinate don't you?

[snow willow]

So you can answer this question

you do:
world position -> tile coordinate -> the GameObject from the dictionary

[dusky wagon]

1. Shouldnt it be the same as the object
2. Not really, I mostly only care about the game object

Or do you mean when browsing through the dictionary?

[snow willow]

I'm assuming you're trying to do something like: click on the grid, get the object in that grid space, no?

[dusky wagon]

Not really, I want to got information about the gameobject of the tilemap of the tilemap the position an object is on

[snow willow]

oh the tilemap GameObject itself? Not a particular tile?

[dusky wagon]

Sorry I meant the game object of a particular tile

Assuming that the tile has an object

[snow willow]

so how do you know which tile?

is it based on a coordinate? A user clicking somewhere?

[dusky wagon]

Base on the coordinate of a game object

[snow willow]

right so - you'll want to use WorldToCell to get the tile coordinate that is closest to that object

and then it will let you look up the object from the dictionary

[dusky wagon]

Ah okay I was gonna use a method to round dont the objects position, but that might work as well

[snow willow]

it gets rid of all the guesswork

[sly shore]

Hey im trying to use unity to create a simple mobile game and i created a c# script but it wont let me open it to visual studios does anyone know why or how to fix it

[sly shore]

ok thx

[waxen harness]

what would be the "correct" way to swap out sprites in a tilegrid (at runtime, with user input for a mechanic that changes the season)? (Using 2D extras library)
f.e.: changing water to ice in winter, changing the sprite and changing it back when the player switches to a different season

1. Do you put the ones that need to be swappable on a different tilegrid?
2. Do you change the render layer on the camera to only render the ones you wanna see?
3. Use the gameobject brush for literally everything (im pretty sure that doesnt use the tilegrid anymore so it doesnt seem as performant as using the tilegrid mesh generation)

Im considering the first option since its the simplest, the second seems less optimal becuase technically the objects are still active and the 3rd sounds like a sizeable amount of work
but im looking for some input in case there is a better way that I am mising completely (I usually do 3D stuff, and am trying out 2D)

I'm aware I could test the different ideas, but I'm trying to think about it before I do things so I learn to not just jump to implementing out of nowhere.

[keen skiff]

okay so i'm trying to make it where when you go in the radius of textboxPos then it sends a message to the console saying you're in radius, and when you're out of radius of the textboxPos the console will say you're out of the radius. Unity doesn't say i have any errors with my code, but when i get close to the textboxPos object when i play my game it still says i'm out of radius. (my code is below)
https://hastebin.com/afivegavep.cpp

[snow willow]

Did you set everything up properly in the inspector?
Does your player have a 2D collider and is that collider on the correct layer?

[keen skiff]

okay so apparently the player didn't have the player layer

I really thought i did that

thanks for the help

[digital dagger]

I have a question. How do I get the direction an object is traveling in? Like In a vector 2, so I can hook up animations.

[late viper]

depends on how you're moving it, but its likely transform.forward, which is the direction the object is facing

[digital dagger]

Thats kinda the problem. A* is moving the enemy for me. For the player object I have the option to create a movement vector base on the input of the player and use that information to see where the player is moving and then rig it up to the corresponding animation. For the enemy I dont have such a movement vector, so I need to draw that information from somewhere else

[rich iron]

How would I rotate a 2d direction vector by x degrees?

[topaz root]

Change the Z-rotation in the transform.

[rich iron]

    {
        float moveX = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
        float moveY = Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime * speed;
        moveTransform.Translate(moveX, moveY, 0);
    }```
I have this code for my movement right now, but the sprite im moving around feels like he's on ice. Is there any way to get more snappy movements?

Oh nevermind, turns out GetAxisRaw is what I should be using

[grave quarry]

Hey guys i have stumbled upon a problem where i cant add the value of my movement speed because i have a dash variable in my script how do i fix this? here is my code
rb.velocity = new Vector2(horizontal * activeMoveSpeed, rb.velocity.y);
i need to change activeMoveSpeed to MoveSpeed to make my movespeed work but if i remove activemoveSpeed my dash dont work
if anyone know fixes for this ping me

im trying to implement sprint as well as dash

[turbid heart]

dont cross post. pick one channel and stick to it. You should delete one

[grave quarry]

yes my bad i was new to this will not do ti again hehe

[blazing mica]

    {
        RaycastHit2D lineOfSight = Physics2D.BoxCast(eyeSightPosition.position, transform.localScale, 0, Vector2.right * transform.lossyScale, sightDistance, detectableLayers);
        Gizmos.color = Color.white;
        Gizmos.DrawRay(eyeSightPosition.position, Vector2.right * transform.lossyScale);


        if (lineOfSight)
        {
            Gizmos.color = Color.green;
            Gizmos.DrawWireCube(lineOfSight.collider.bounds.center + lineOfSight.transform.lossyScale, transform.lossyScale);
        }
    }```

i m trying to use ```BoxCast``` to check for the red characters. However, using this code only able to check the ray to the right side and not the left, my code does indeed make the scale to -ve when they are facing left. Is there any problem exist in the code?

Blue dot = eye
White Ray from Blue Dot = Ray direction
Green Box = where the ray hits
Red Bar above Red Box = Rage meter when they see another red box

[desert cargo]

Vector2.right is a problem

probably

[blazing mica]

however, when i was using Raycast instead of BoxCast, it was working fine 😩

if not using Vector2.Right , how would I tell it which direction to cast to

[desert cargo]

var direction = isFacingRight ? Vector2.right : Vector2.left;
        RaycastHit2D lineOfSight = Physics2D.BoxCast(eyeSightPosition.position, transform.localScale, 0, direction * transform.lossyScale, sightDistance, detectableLayers);

oh wait... lossyScale is (-1, 1, 1) when facing left?

I get it now

[blazing mica]

yup

[desert cargo]

okay, how do you know it's not working?

I think it's just immediately hitting the red player

actually, sorry... where is it being fired from?

[blazing mica]

in this diagram, the LeftRedBox have a meter charged on top of it while the RightRedBox doesnt, the meter suppose to be filled when they saw each other

[blazing mica]

from the blue dot, which i marked as eyes

[desert cargo]

Ah, i see. So both blue dots are firing

I get it

Is it possible that the right box is being filtered by detectableLayers?

[blazing mica]

i don think so, i only have 2 layers in it, and they totally do not detect anything when they are facing left

however, this all works when I was using Raycast

[desert cargo]

Yeah... So it's just not hitting anything?

If I'm not mistaken if (lineOfSight) will always be true

[blazing mica]

yup 🥲

[desert cargo]

You need to check if (lineOfSight.collider)

Or does it coerce into bool?

Ah, it does public static implicit operator bool(RaycastHit2D hit);

Sorry, I'm not being helpful at all.

Your code looks fine to me

[blazing mica]

dont be, I appreciate any help

i've been tortured by this for hours too, if I cant do it the worst thing i can do is just revert back to raycast

    {
        //RaycastHit2D lineOfSight = Physics2D.Raycast(eyeSightPosition.position, Vector2.right * transform.lossyScale, sightDistance, detectableLayers);
        RaycastHit2D lineOfSight = Physics2D.BoxCast(eyeSightPosition.position, transform.localScale, 0, Vector2.right * transform.lossyScale, sightDistance, detectableLayers);

        if(lineOfSight.collider != null && lineOfSight.collider.tag == "Monster")
        {
            Vector2 distanceBetweenMonsters = lineOfSight.transform.position - transform.position;
            if (rageMeter >= rageLimit)
            {
                rageMeter = rageLimit;
                return;
            }
            rageMeter += (Time.deltaTime * rateOfRage) * (Mathf.Exp(sightDistance / distanceBetweenMonsters.magnitude));
        }
        else
        {
            if(rageMeter > 0)
            {
                rageMeter -= (Time.deltaTime * rateOfRage);
                return;
            }
            rageMeter = 0;
        }
    }```

the previous code was in the OnDrawGizmos, this is the actual BoxCast casting from

basically the bottom part is just how the meter filled up, so the problem should be still on the ray

[desert cargo]

Why do you want to do a box cast?

That will mean that they're less able to see each other. Is that the goal?

[blazing mica]

my plan is to let them see each other more easily by having a larger detection area like boxcast

[desert cargo]

Boxcast will make it harder for them to see each other

Because it's more likely to hit the environment

Consider the difference between trying to throw a dart or a basketball through a small hole

If you want to check LOS the best way is to do LineCast from one to the other and see if there's anything obstructing it

[lean sleet]

Is there a way to paint tiles from the tile pallete as gameobjects? I'm trying to create hidden tiles that the player can break but can't find a good way.

[compact knoll]

you can do that with rule tiles

[lean sleet]

Thanks I will look into it

[solid trench]

someone help?

[snow willow]

Main_Menu.cs line 24 you're trying to use a reference that was not assigned properly

[solid trench]

so why?

[late viper]

you likely didn't assign chose_level properly

[snow willow]

Did you drag anything into the slot for chose_level in the inspector?

[late viper]

oh, he's doing it in setup, which is never being called

[snow willow]

Or - it looks like you have a Setup() method. Are you ever calling that method?

[solid trench]

ymmm no

[snow willow]

well there's your answer

[solid trench]

so what I am must correct?

[late viper]

you need to call Setup() somewhere

[solid trench]

in Chose_level?

[snow willow]

Maybe rename Setup() to Start(), which Unity would call. Are you following a tutorial or something?

oops wrong reply

@solid trench

[late viper]

thats probably the real answer ^

[solid trench]

thanks

It still does not work :(

[late viper]

then it can't find your Chose_level gameobject for some reason. why not just assign it in the inspector?

[solid trench]

because it is to be selected in the menu and assigned to the varible and when I click play, the scene is to turn on (I work here on 2 separate scenes

so why this is not worked?

??????

[snow willow]

When are you calling FindObjectOfType

When is the scene being loaded

Think about those things

they are very important

[solid trench]

if i am comment SceneManager I have a this error

[solid trench]

something help me?

[dense igloo]

Did i do something wrong? when I click on my sprite the color doesnt change

[late viper]

does your sprite have a collider?

[dense igloo]

yes. i added one so it wont fall into space lol.

[late viper]

put a debug log in there to check if its actually being called

[dense igloo]

ooh how do u do that?

[snow willow]

Read this and look at the example code: https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Debug.Log.html

[grand cove]

Anyone know if it's possible to add a shader to a tile inside a tilemap at runtime?

I would even be okay with adding that shader to all tiles of the same type

Answer to above in any case anyone is curious, yes it is possible, but each tilemap only has one shader.

[fossil quest]

guys can i apply Clean Architecture in Unity ?

[dusky wagon]

How can I make my object move towards a certain point with rigidbody velocity, while stopping as soon as it hits the point and not shooting over it, no matter what the frame rate is? I have made something that moves the object towards its target using the .normalized property, but I am not sure how I can make it not go over the target. I tried stopping it, as soon as it is in a certain range of the target, but when the frame rate is to low, it just misses the point where it is close enough to the object and flies over it

[remote moth]

if is set the x scale -3 he flip in the other side but if i do that in the script the camera will show nothing then, but if is set it in editor it work without problems

[meager mural]

Sprite renderers have a Flip Toggle

[remote moth]

ik but if i do that the hands will on a bad position

[dusky wagon]

Does anyone have any ideas for this?

[snow willow]

In FixedUpdate you can check if the current velocity of the body will cause it to overshoot the target in the next physics frame

and either adjust the velocity to not overshoot, or MovePosition it to the correct position or what have you.

This is one benefit of a fixed-timestep physics system, you know precisely how much time the frames will be. It's not subject to the whims of the rendering framerate.

The amount an object will move in a single physics frame is simply rb.velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime

[dusky wagon]

Ah okay so I can just detect of rb.velocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime is larger than the distance?

But what happens if the frame rate is below 50 and the fixed update rate is 50?

[snow willow]

FixedUpdate will run more than once in certain rendering frames to make sure it runs often enough

[dusky wagon]

Ah okay, so there is no way that it can overshoot?

[snow willow]

nope unless there are other forces or scripts acting on the object that change the situation

[dusky wagon]

All right, thanks!

[worthy stump]

Does anyone know if a Unity uses Sprite Atlases when you're playing in editor, or is it just for packaged builds? If its only for builds, is there any way to force the editor to use the atlas?

[tepid lintel]

{
    public Transform target;

    public float smoothSpeed = 0.125f;
    public Vector3 offset;

    void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector3 desiredPosition = target.position + offset;
        Vector3 smoothedPosition = Vector3.Lerp(transform.position, desiredPosition, smoothSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
        transform.position = smoothedPosition;

    }
}

Why does this script on the camera make my player's movement look very jittery?

looks perfectly smooth if i just set the camera to be the child of the player and disable the script

[still tendon]

how do i adjust box collider for platform

[dusky wagon]

Do you want to do it through code?

[still tendon]

i actually fixed it thanku

[dusky wagon]

Oh all right

[still tendon]

why is my player not going forward

friction is .4

and there is no error in console

oh wait it was gravity issue

[dusky wagon]

The force you are adding is incredibly small

[still tendon]

yes i found that thank you and sorry apparently i stuck on a problem for long i fed up i ask and then i find bug instantly lmao

[unborn sundial]

You generally want to update the camera position in LateUpdate()

this prevents jitter

[tepid lintel]

huh i thought i done that already

imma try that

ah yea that works really well

thanks @unborn sundial

[lean sleet]

Is there a way to paint tiles from the tile pallete as gameobjects? I'm trying to create hidden tiles that the player can break but can't find a good way.

[dusky wagon]

You can use rule tiles for that

[lean sleet]

Could you possibly link to a good tutorial? I looked into rule tiles but couldn't work out how to achieve what I am trying to do

[dusky wagon]

Do you already have rule tiles set up?

[lean sleet]

Not yet

[dusky wagon]

But do you kniw how to do it, or do you need a tutorial for that?

[lean sleet]

I have seen a few tutorials for using rule tiles but wasn't sure how to apply it to what I am trying to achieve

[echo quest]

im using an isometric diamond to create a triangle, is there a way to stop intense pixelation over large scaling?

[tepid lintel]

make the sprite higher resolution i guess

or use vector art for simple stuff like this

[echo quest]

how do i make it higher res?

[dusky wagon]

You can make a tile spawn a game object using a rule tile, but dragging the game ibject in the game object field

[lean sleet]

Thanks for your help, I will look at some tutorials and try this out

[tepid lintel]

depending on how/where you got that sprite from you might have to either recreate it at a higher resolution or just download a higher resolution version

How do i make the dash system work with the movement system? At the moment it does completely nothing because of the normal movement setting the velocity every single frame

also sorry for big script

[tepid lintel]

yea you might just have to recreate the sprite in a photo editor at a higher res

i'd avoid the default unity sprites for anything more than prototyping

[echo quest]

ohk
i did draw my own art but i cant do collision detection with it

then i tried doing a 3d model in blender and importing it but then it had issues with lighting and stuff

[tepid lintel]

add a collider to the object with the art

[echo quest]

box colliders and rigidbodys can collide right?

[tepid lintel]

if the object with the rigidbody also has a collider then yes

also don't use a box collider for triangles

and make sure you use collider2d

[echo quest]

ohk
well for triangles id have to use a mesh collider right?

and i cant make a mesh from a png image

[tepid lintel]

no you can just edit a box collider to a triangle shape

[echo quest]

but

[tepid lintel]

i meant unedited

[echo quest]

how do i edit it into a shape?

[tepid lintel]

you could even use a circle collider if you wanted but you need to edit it

[tepid lintel]

give me a second

[echo quest]

oh wait

i see the button

[tepid lintel]

yea

use that

[tepid lintel]

they all do the exact same thing just in different shapes

[echo quest]

yeah the edit collider only does the 4 sides

[tepid lintel]

wait give me a sec need to check something

[dusky wagon]

Use a polygon collider

[tepid lintel]

yea

[echo quest]

ey that worked thanks

[tepid lintel]

np

[tepid lintel]

anyone?

[dusky wagon]

How do you want your dash script to work? Do you want the object to have a constant velocity or just a big velocity at the start that slowly decreases?

@tepid lintel

[tepid lintel]

big velocity at the start and it's all on the player controller script

which might not be a good idea

but in just a small game i'm making for fun it shouldn't really matter

[dusky wagon]

Is disabling the movement while dashing an option for you?

[tepid lintel]

hmm

if i edit my code a bit

a big bit

then yea probably

[compact knoll]

your options for getting an AddForce type dash to work are to either disable movement for the duration of the dash (so the velocity isn't overwritten) or switch to using AddForce for regular movement too

[dusky wagon]

What do you have to edit?

[tepid lintel]

basically make the basic movement it's own script/function

[dusky wagon]

Yes, I did the AddForce method, but I had to do some work arounds to get the sliding to be what I want it to be

[dusky wagon]

You dont need to do that

But you can if you want to of course

[tepid lintel]

addforce for movement makes everything slide about and accelerate to stupid levels

[tepid lintel]

how tho?

[compact knoll]

you have to cap how much force you are adding as well as properly set up mass, drag, and friction but it definitely is a viable way to do movement

it's pretty common for platformers

[tepid lintel]

I might just do that anyway to make my code less of a spaghetti mess

[dusky wagon]

You can just put the line that sets the velocity of the rigidbody in an if statement and make a boolean to determine whether the player is dashing

[dusky wagon]

But you can also fix these two problem here. It depends whether you want to be able to control the player while dashing or not

[tepid lintel]

i might consider it if this is too difficult or doesn't do something i need it to

[tepid lintel]

i don't want to control the player while dashing

[dusky wagon]

Okay then you can do this

[tepid lintel]

and 1 more question

how difficult is it to make the player not have as much control in the air as on the ground?

[dusky wagon]

What exactly do you mean by that?

[tepid lintel]

like if you jump right you can't change your direction to left unless you double jump/dash until you touch the ground

not change direction but just change your velocity

yea you probably know what i mean

[compact knoll]

you would basically do the same thing you're doing with the dash. just prevent movement input while not grounded

[tepid lintel]

ok that doesn't seem that difficult

but

i still want some small adjustments to be possible

and double jumping

[compact knoll]

sounds like you definitely want to switch to using AddForce for regular movement. You can then reduce the amount of force you are adding per physics frame when not grounded, this will make it so that only small/slow changes are possible while in the air

[tepid lintel]

well

time to rewrite my entire movement script

gl me

[compact knoll]

it's really not that big of a change to be honest

[tepid lintel]

huh

well how do i fix the sliding and accelerating problem?

[compact knoll]

friction on walkable objects and higher linear drag/mass (these last two are settings on the rb2d)

[tepid lintel]

won't the friction make the player get stuck on the edges of platforms?

[compact knoll]

well the linear drag and mass are the two biggest factors, you don't necessarily need to use friction, but it does help.

[tepid lintel]

ah ok

[compact knoll]

keep in mind you would probably also want to cap the amount of force applied every frame if you don't set up your mass and drag well enough otherwise you'll have infinite acceleration

[still tendon]

how do i get current animation name

[compact knoll]

what are you trying to accomplish with that info? because i'm sure there's a better way for whatever it is you are trying to do

[still tendon]

i wanna skip animation to another when controls keys are pressed as its causing insane lag

and i dont wanna put name of each animation as it is too long job i just want a way to get name of current animation playing

[compact knoll]

so i just want to make sure i'm understanding this:

1. you have an animation that is causing a lot of lag
2. you want to change to a different animation when there is specific input
3. you think you need the animation name to accomplish this

is this all correct?

[still tendon]

yes lag is like when i press a key it first completes the current animation

then moves on

hmm?

[compact knoll]

set up your transitions correctly and it won't do that. here's a unity answers page that has some steps you could try
https://answers.unity.com/questions/1279859/unwanted-delay-between-animations.html

[still tendon]

wait my transitions are correct ig alll i want is just to stop current animation and skip to another at a specific event

[compact knoll]

yeah do the thing i just told you to do.

[still tendon]

oh well alr thx

[compact knoll]

i promise that's the actual issue here

[still tendon]

oh yes i got that

thank

u

can u explain that clickDown thing

this is my code how i implement that in it as i think its for mouse clicks

[compact knoll]

you don't need the clickdown thing. move on to the actual answer

[still tendon]

like but the function needs that parameter so what should i replace it with

[compact knoll]

what function? are you still looking in the question to figure out your issue or did you scroll down to the answers? the person in the question is effectively trying to do what you were attempting, but that's not what needs to be done. read the answers not the question for the steps you need to take

[still tendon]

oh lol

thankss its fixed now

[civic rock]

not sure if gui questions work for this channel, but how can i change the font of GUI.Label to a font stored in a variable?

[hollow crown]

Pass a different GUIStyle to the Label with the font you care about

Note that you generally shouldn't be using IMGUI for anything other than debug menus or editor GUI though.

[civic rock]

is there a font parameter for the style?

also what else would i use to render text like this

[snow willow]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GUIStyle-font.html

[hollow crown]

UGUI

[civic rock]

thanks!

[wind orchid]

Hey, I'm new to unity/c# (started this week) and I'm having some trouble with my game and can't seem to figure out what it could be. Any ideas?

[snow willow]

Dynamic rigidbodies don't follow parent objects like normal gameObjects do

they continue to be independent and follow the physics simulation

If you change the body type to kinematic it will follow along with its parent

As for the jumping x position value in the inspector: the position you see in the inspector is the local position of the object which is why it jumps from 7 when not parented to a smaller number between -1 and 1 when it becomes a child object.

local position meaning position relative to its parent

[wind orchid]

well first off, thank you I did not know this. But I just changed it to kinematic, and now my Runner is just floating

[snow willow]

well yes

kinematic rigidbodies are not simulated the way dynamic bodies are

😛

they don't respond to forces or collisions

or move with velocity

[wind orchid]

so.. are you saying there is no way for me to get it stuck to my platform/move with it?

[snow willow]

One option is to use friction, which is how real life objects stick to moving platforms

The main thing that will require is that your moving platform:

• has a Rigidbody of its own (you can make this kinematic)
• Moves in FixedUpdate with rb.MovePosition rather than by moving transform.position or using an Animator

you can/should also look into PhysicsMaterial2D to customize the friction of your platform's collider

[snow willow]

don't give up that easily 😛

[wind orchid]

ok I will try what you suggested, and nah Im not giving up, just not sure what to do. I have been stuck on this all day and it seems its just a physics thing I wasn't aware of

thanks though

[snow willow]

np. You're a lot more equipped to approach this problem now that you're more aware of what's going on.

This video shows how to get a really realistic 3d conveyer with proper physics!
I want to replicate this effect in 2d, but with a birds eye view (See my poor paint drawing example)

Is there any way to accomplish this with the physics system in unity for a 2d scene?

[snow willow]

not with 2D physics no.

2D physics are "side-on" not top-down

you could use 3D physics if you want though

[still tendon]

Ah alright thanks, i'll look into other things then

My game has a lot of physics objects, so using 3d physics would be laggy

[turbid heart]

show your full script

[compact knoll]

you need to put all of that into a class

i recommend going through some C# tutorials/courses to better learn how to structure your scripts

also maybe consider using an actual IDE instead of a text editing software that happens to have syntax highlighting

[turbid heart]

if you created a script through Unity, you wouldnt have that sort of code. That looks like something you copy pasted. You need a class that inherits from MonoBehaviour

like boxfriend said, use an actual IDE like Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. maybe also go through the beginner scripting tutorial pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

[lean sleet]

Is there a way to paint tiles from the tile pallet as gameobjects?

I'm trying to create hidden tiles that the player can break but can't find a good way. I am using the tile pallet to create my 2D levels, but I want to use the same tile pallet to create tiles that the character can destroy, but look the same as the other tiles in the level. I looked into rule tiles but couldn't work out how to do it. Any help would be appreciated!

[compact knoll]

Rule tiles are still the answer for this

Attach game object to rule tile when setting it up then when you place a rule tile and the scene is loaded it instantiates the game object that is attached to it

[pliant valve]

Hello everyone, I want to make a complex system of character 2d movement, with such features as wall crawling, double jumps, etc. and with the further possibility of adding complex elements. I have a choice: 1) I tried to do the movement through rigidbody.velocity changing. But I ran into the following problem: I don’t know how to perform the exact BoxAllCast because I don’t know the exact distance that the body will travel with the changed velocity per frame 2) and using rigidbody.MovePosition is bad because, as I understand it, it does not pass in one frame, but I want have full control over the player, and if you make the controller through rigidbody.velocity changing, then you get a lot of stuck in textures, shaking in textures etc.
Please help me decide, maybe someone can share the sources of a complex movement system so that I can see how they implement it, and generally suggest about the best method for changing the position of a rigidbody

[tepid lintel]

using System.Collections;
public class PlayerDash : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Rigidbody2D rb;
    private int Dashes;
    public int DashesValue;
    public int dashVelocity;
    private bool isDashing;
    private PlayerMovement Player;

    private void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        Player = GetComponent<PlayerMovement>();
        StartCoroutine(Dash());
    }

IEnumerator Dash()
    {
        if (Player.isGrounded == true) { Dashes = DashesValue; }

        Debug.Log("Test");

        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftShift) && Dashes > 0)
        {
            Debug.Log("Test 2");
            isDashing = true;
            if (Player.facingRight == true)
            {
                Debug.Log("Test 3");
                rb.AddForce(new Vector2(dashVelocity, 0), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
                yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(1);
                isDashing = false;
            }
            else if (Player.facingRight == false)
            {
                Debug.Log("Test 4");
                rb.AddForce(new Vector2(dashVelocity, 0), ForceMode2D.Impulse);
                yield return new WaitForSecondsRealtime(1);
                isDashing = false;
            }

            Dashes--;
        }
    }
}```
Why doesn't my dash script work at all? is it because of needing to use a coroutine to make the script pause or because of something else? Only the first debug.log statement shows up

[snow willow]

you're only calling the coroutine once on Start(). The coroutine runs once and then it's done. Presumably you're not pressing LeftShift on the very first frame too

This seems like a coroutine you should start from Update when the user presses the shift button down. And the input checking shouldn't be in the coroutine

[tepid lintel]

ah that makes a lot of sense

thanks

[oblique flare]

Hi, working on making a top down game. Im having troubles figuring out how to create pressure plates using the tilemap system in unity. Should my buttons ect not be in the tilemap and instead be on its own gameobject instead of part of the tilemap? Im not sure how to approach this, thanks for any answers 🙂

[white cedar]

why my ActivateCollision isnt called if canBeDamage is true?

[ancient path]

is the last debug.log called?

and use an else

[white cedar]

i already resolved, but thank you!

[ancient path]

was the last debug called?

[white cedar]

nope

[ancient path]

okay, thank you

[honest python]

how do you fit a Text component to a box?

or at least a horizontal limiter

[wind orchid]

is there a way to make an if statement that says something along the lines of "If gameObject.RigidBody2D is colliding with a gameObject.RigidBody2D.BoxCollider2d whose tag == ExampleTag"?
I know there is a OnCollisionEnter2D/OnCollisionStay2D but I'm looking for a way to put it as an if statement. Anyone know how to format it correctly/if there's a way to do that?

[dusk escarp]

ContentSizeFitter is probably what you want

[dusk escarp]

sure you can do that

[real moss]

@wind orchid OnCollisionEnter2d(collision other) { if(other.gameObject.CompareTag("tag")){} }
you can also make different layers, but that's basically it.
if object has rigidbody in parent, it'll check that collider's tag. if you want some child limb then you need (other.collider.gameObject.CompareTag(""))

[wind orchid]

I think I should have mentioned, but the reason I wanted to do this was to put it in the void Update() part of the script and I know that OnCollisionStay2D acts like FixedUpdate(), so I wanted a way to put it in my Update() function

[wind orchid]

I think you misunderstood, instead of making an OnCollisionEnter2D function, I'm trying to make an if statement that would get called in Update() that acts similarly to that

[real moss]

just make a coroutine

[wind orchid]

I'm not sure what that is 😅 sorry I just started with unity this week

[real moss]

OnEnter { if (tag){ StartCoroutine(Whatever()); } }
IEnumerator Whatever()
{
yield return null
}

[wind orchid]

I guess i'll have to look into coroutine's

[real moss]

the problem is with ending it when something exits

you can cache it, or you can put inside something else

either way without knowing what you're trying to accomplish i can't help anymore

[wind orchid]

alright, thanks anyway

[real moss]

actually i can...

Coroutine x
x = startcoroutine()

so you can end it with stopCoroutine(x)

and since you're comparing tag anyway you could just make an interface on it, and getcomponent on that interface, telling to start and end coroutine if you expect all of the objects with that tag to need it

[finite garden]

Does anyone know the best way to check to see if a 2D object can see another 2D object?

I'm making a top down shooter, and I want the enemies to become visible even if only their shoulder is sticking out

[late viper]

look up raycasting + vision cones

[finite garden]

Raycasting is something I know about, but Vision Cones sounds promising. I'll give it a look, cheers

[limpid drift]

could someone help me out?

currently i have a issue with my spell the velocity updates every frame but i only want it to do it once it fires looks once

this is my script atm ```csharp
void Update()
{
fire();
}
public void fire()
{
if (this.transform.position.x > Player.transform.position.x)
{
isFacingLeft = true;
}
else isFacingLeft = false;

    if (isFacingLeft == true)
    {
        transform.position = new Vector2(-Velocity, 0);
    }
    else transform.position = new Vector2(Velocity, 0);
}

i have it so when the player triggers the enemy hitbox its instantiates the spell

and then i got this script above attached to the object so not the enemy controller

[turbid heart]

I dont quite understand your issue. Can you please rephrase it?

[pallid stirrup]

^

[limpid drift]

so when the spells fires

its keeps on following the player

[turbid heart]

okay? what do you want to happen, and what is happening instead? @limpid drift

[limpid drift]

okay so right now something diffrent is happing

when i start the game the "spell" goes to a locked position

and when it should instatiates it goes to the other side of the world

[turbid heart]

What is happening right now?

[limpid drift]

https://gyazo.com/723624a2b6aedb98d19d713628792efe

this

[turbid heart]

okay, so the spell is ending up in the wrong position

what is it supposed to do instead?

[limpid drift]

when the player enters the enemy trigger

it should Instantiate and then the script does the rest

where it goes to the direction of the player

but right now once i enter the trigger zone it keeps spawning new spells on the same position what happend in gif

i want to to spawn on the mage

[turbid heart]

okay, what is the code that sets the position of the spell? Show the code where you instantiate the spell

[limpid drift]

private void FireBullet()
    {
        Instantiate(Spell, transform.position, transform.rotation);
    }

[turbid heart]

okay.. what object is this code attached to

[limpid drift]

 private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D Player)
    {
        if (Player.gameObject.CompareTag("Player"))
            StartCoroutine(AutoFire());

[turbid heart]

also, use {} even for one liners. It reduces the chance of logic error

[limpid drift]

 private IEnumerator AutoFire()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            FireBullet();
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(FireRate);
        }
       
    }

this should be all that is linked to the fire bullet

[turbid heart]

@limpid drift

[limpid drift]

the enemy

[turbid heart]

you're introducing alot of objects, but I have no idea what is what

what's the player? what's the mage? what's the enemy? which is which?

you said you want the spell to spawn on the mage

[limpid drift]

player on the left and the mage is the enemy

[turbid heart]

is the enemy the mage?

okay

is there any code that moves the spell?

[limpid drift]

yes

    
        if (this.transform.position.x > Player.transform.position.x)
        {
            isFacingLeft = true;
        }
        else isFacingLeft = false;

        if (isFacingLeft == true)
        {
            transform.position = new Vector2(-Velocity, 0);
        }
        else transform.position = new Vector2(Velocity, 0);
    

[turbid heart]

oh

you're setting the position here, you're not moving it

see, you're using =

you should be using += instead

[turbid heart]

also, I think you should be using Quaternion.Identity instead of transform.rotation, otherwise your spell will match the rotation of your mage

[limpid drift]

so where do i put the +=?

[turbid heart]

do you understand what I mean when you said you're "setting the position to the velocity"

not moving the object according to the velocity

[limpid drift]

ooooooh

lmao

[turbid heart]

yeah I hope you get it

[limpid drift]

but where do i put the += in this line of code then?

private void FireBullet()
    {
        Instantiate (Spell, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
    }

[turbid heart]

you dont

that's just to instantiate it

the movement should be in the code that's attached to the spell, right?

[limpid drift]

so ur saying this should be correct then

 if (isFacingLeft == true)
        {
            transform.position += new Vector3(-Velocity, 0 ,0);
        }

[turbid heart]

i assume? you should test it

[limpid drift]

okay so that does it but now i got the problem with

it does this every frame and i only want it to do it once

[turbid heart]

well then that just depends on where you call it

[limpid drift]

 public float Velocity;
    public Transform Player;
    public int BulletDamage;
    public bool isFacingLeft = false;
    Rigidbody2D rb2d;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        //transform.LookAt(Player);
        rb2d = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        fire();
    }
    private void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
    {
        
        var damageable = collision.collider.GetComponent<idamagable>();
        if (damageable != null)
            damageable.DealDamage(BulletDamage);
        //Destroy(this);
    }

    public void fire()
    {
        if (this.transform.position.x > Player.transform.position.x)
        {
            isFacingLeft = true;
        }
        else isFacingLeft = false;

        if (isFacingLeft == true)
        {
            transform.position += new Vector3(Velocity, 0, 0);
        }
        else transform.position += new Vector3(-Velocity, 0, 0);
    }

how can i fix that since if i dont have fire() in update it will never execute that part of the script

but if its in the update then it will always be on top of the enemy since every frame it transforms back to the starting point

[turbid heart]

dont crosspost. you might want to delete this question so people dont waste time answering it here

[tepid lintel]

ok sorry

[honest python]

I triee that, but whatever values I adjusted nothing really happened

[turbid heart]

when do you want fire() to actually happen? If it's movement, it does sound like you will want it to be in Update

[turbid heart]

what do you mean by it transforms back to the starting point?

[limpid drift]

https://gyazo.com/22193046c035bfc69798d45fe827519d

[limpid drift]

when player enters the enemy trigger

so when the spell get activated

[mossy fossil]

hi!

starting to understand scripting n stuff and

i hope this is the right place

public Transform poziceHrace;
    public float speed = 20f;


    void Start(){
        
    }

    void Update(){

        float pohyb = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        poziceHrace.position += new Vector3(pohyb, 0, 0) * Time.deltaTime * speed;

    }

i use this to move the player left and right

but it makes him keep the momentum

and i want him to stop right when you stop pressing the input

any idea?

[snow willow]

use Input.GetAxisRaw instead of GetAxis

GetAxis applies some smoothing to the value over time

[mossy fossil]

and raw makes you stop right away?

[snow willow]

try it 🙂

[mossy fossil]

it worksss

ayyy

thxx

[mossy fossil]

hey ummm

if i needed to set statically y in transform to some number

how do i do that ? 😅

[snow willow]

wdym by "statically"

[mossy fossil]

press E to set it to 1

stop press Q to set it to 0

[snow willow]

float someNumber = 5f;
Vector3 position = transform.position;
position.y = someNumber;
transform.position = position;```

[mossy fossil]

argh

so simple 😄

thanks

[remote moth]

if i rotate all spriterenderers, but how can if fix that?

            isDashing = false;
            Dashes--;

            Dashes--;
            Debug.Log("you have: " + Dashes + " Dashes");
        }

    }
}

Unless i made a logical error this seems like it shouldn't happen. Dashesvalue is set to 2 in the editor

[rain geode]

Can someone DM me to help me correct an error (canvas showing on scene view but not on game) ?

[snow willow]

You are allowing multiple dash coroutines to run at once

Each will reduce the dash count once the player is grounded

[tepid lintel]

well how can i prevent this from happening?

[snow willow]

Make sure you only have one dash coroutine running at a time

Either with a bool or with a reference to the started coroutine

You have the isDashing variable already

Use that

[mossy fossil]

Hi

for some reason

my trigger does not trigger -_O

public class CollisionDetection : MonoBehaviour{

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
        Debug.Log("An object entered.");
    }
    private void OnTriggerStay(Collider other) {
        Debug.Log("An object is still inside of the trigger");
    }
    private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other) {
        Debug.Log("An object left.");
    }

}

and this code is in the bigger trigger

when they collide or pass or anything

none of this prints

[snow willow]

You're using the 3D functions

You need the 2D ones

[mossy fossil]

oh my

[snow willow]

Other thing you need is for at least one of those objects to have a Rigidbody2D

[mossy fossil]

do i Just type 2D behind these xddd

even if it is an invisible trigger field?

[snow willow]

No look it up they have different parameters too

[mossy fossil]

kk ima look it up

[snow willow]

Yes, the Rigidbody2D can be kinematic

[mossy fossil]

is it better to move it around the player as the big field

or have it on the small square

that stays in the same spot?

(ill have multiple in one level)

[snow willow]

Best to put the Rigidbody on the thing that is moving

If something moves and has a collider, it should have a Rigidbody2D too

[mossy fossil]

wont it hurt performance ?

(I have no idea if rb stores stuff or not xd)

[snow willow]

No

It will help

Moving static colliders is not good

But regardless of performance having at least one Rigidbody is required for OnCollisionEnter etc

[mossy fossil]

oh

ummm

  private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other) {
        Debug.Log("An object entered.");
    }
    private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other) {
        Debug.Log("An object is still inside of the trigger");
    }
    private void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other) {
        Debug.Log("An object left.");
    }

these work

but

I have the collider like this now

and the white box has also trigger collider

but it still doesnt print

i did bad again i suppose 😄

[snow willow]

Change the Rigidbody Body type to kinematic

Or it will just fall away under gravity

[mossy fossil]

ok you are a genius

or maybe im just too rarded

or both

😄

thanks

but is it even worth it using the on enter?

i mean

the on stay plays anytime it moves around right?

[snow willow]

On stay plays once per physics update while it's inside

It's usually better to use OnEnter/OnExit but it depends on what you're trying to do.

[mossy fossil]

oh i see thx

[left canyon]

does anyone know how i would go about instantiating objects from specific tiles on a tilemap? the map is procedurally generated but I have a small percentage of tiles that I set up to spawn around the map that would be used as spawners for enemies. Can't quite figure out the API but would appreciate it if someone here has worked with this before :)

[opal socket]

I didn’t work with tilemaps a lot but I guess you just have to cache those spawners somewhere, you can do it at procedural generation time?

[left canyon]

yeah, but im struggling figuring out how to get the positions of the tiles that are generated and assign them to the spawners

[solemn latch]

@left canyon use the prefab brush from the 2d extras to add your spawner objects?

[left canyon]

am I able to link that to a specific tile that is generated?

[solemn latch]

I haven't used it, I just remember it being a thing.

[left canyon]

I dont know if i can automate the 2d extras brush. but that is an interesting thought

[mossy fossil]

heyyy

how do i sort layers

like

put background in the background

foreground in the foreground and so on ?

i cant find any tutorial that works

[abstract olive]

You set a value to the sorting order on the sprite renderer.

[prisma ocean]

Say I wanted to make a space ship construction thing in my game where, during runtime, you added rooms to your ship which would be a collection of tiles. So it could be adding a 5x5 box of walls to a 10x10 box of walls. Should I create a seperate gameobject and tilemap for each room or add the walls for each room to a single wall tileset for the ship

[orchid pewter]

does changing the gravity also change all other assets gravity too? is there a way i can only change the gravity applied to my player?

sorry for it being like this its from a youtube tutorial

[compact knoll]

RigidBody2D has a gravity scale you can modify
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody2D-gravityScale.html

[orchid pewter]

thank you very much i've been trying all sorts of different methods

changing the gravity works really well but it seems to work for everything

[compact knoll]

Yeah physics 2d gravity affects all rigidbodies, the gravity scale only affects the rigidbody you set it for

[orchid pewter]

oh thats perfect thanks

[orchid pewter]

got this strange thing where my guy jumps at the right height the first time the game launches but then every other jump afterwards is too small

i forgot how to post code

        {

            rb.gravityScale = 3.0f;
        }

        {
            rb.velocity = Vector2.up * 6f;
        }

[prisma ocean]

how would I get a tile on a specific tilemap from a specific world or screen position? for example the position of the mouse on the screen?

[snow willow]

Isn't this exactly the problem?

You're increasing the gravity scale the first time your y velocity is negative

That won't happen until after the peak of the first time you jump

from that point on you are jumping with triple gravity

[orchid pewter]

@snow willowhe jumps the 6.0f height the first time i launch the game but every other time its more like 2.0/3.0 height

[snow willow]

Did you ignore what I just said?

[orchid pewter]

oh i got it now haha

i got a little confused

sorry about that 😄

forgot to revert it back to normal gravity

[mossy fossil]

is it possible to flip cinemachine ?

[snow willow]

wdym by "flip"?

[mossy fossil]

i know how to flip the player

[snow willow]

You mean just... move the camera?

[mossy fossil]

and everything insidhe him

yes

but the camera follow him

the way that he is mostly on left

[snow willow]

Cinemachine is an entire library devoted to moving cameras and pointing them at things

[mossy fossil]

i cant find how to do so 😄

[snow willow]

yes it is possible lol

[mossy fossil]

whenever google doesnt help i come here

[snow willow]

What is your setup exactly?

[mossy fossil]

wym

[snow willow]

I mean

you have a CinemachineVirtualCamera, yes?

how is it configured?

[mossy fossil]

yes

its just set up to follow the player

and i moved it like so

also there is one functional script and second prepared for this flip im talking about

the fucntional just freezes y movement

[snow willow]

Open the Body and Aim things

[snow willow]

in this screenshot

[mossy fossil]

they dont open

when i "open them"

[snow willow]

the little arrow dropdown

[mossy fossil]

yea

it doesnt dropdown anythign

[snow willow]

should show something like this

[mossy fossil]

now ti does

xd

didnt do so minute before

[snow willow]

yeah so that follow offset

see how you have 5.17 for the x

what happens if you change that to -5.17

[mossy fossil]

it does the "flip"

it reverts

does the thing i need

how do i access that ?

with code

?

[snow willow]

you need to get at that Transposer component. One sec I'll give you an example...

SOmething like this @mossy fossil :

[SerializeField]
CinemachineVirtualCamera vCam;

void FlipCamera() {
  CinemachineTransposer transposer = vCam.GetCinemachineComponent<CinemachineTransposer>();
  Vector3 followOffset = transposer.m_FollowOffset;
  followOffset.x *= -1;
  transposer.followOffset = followOffset;
}```

cinemachine has its own component system sort of like how GameObjects have components.

the transposer is one such component

[mossy fossil]

Do i give this to the player or the cam?

(also thanks for this)

[snow willow]

Could be on either one. Whatever is easier/makes more sense for you

You just would call FlipCamera() when necessary.

[mossy fossil]

oh i seee

so to the player it is 😄

[snow willow]

sure - just make sure you wire up the vCam reference in the inspector

[mighty reef]

Okay so I think this is the right channel for this. If not, I definitely apologize, just point me in the right direction. So I'm currently trying to figure out a solution to this issue. The player successfully loads above other game objects

However this happens when moving behind them

Sorting layers and order in layers are both set to the same, if that's relevant

I'm not sure if there's some sort of dynamic layer I can use that would easily fix this

[late viper]

you'd want to do this https://docs.unity3d.com/2020.1/Documentation/Manual/2DSorting.html#customaxis

[mossy fossil]

okay so

practically it works

BUT

i need to to move smoothly

to the new offest

isnt there some command for that ,

?

[snow willow]

One simple option is to have two vCams set up. One with the + offset and one with the - offset. When the player turns around, switch to the other vCam

Cinemachine will blend the transition automatically

[mossy fossil]

@snow willow won't the performance go big owie ouch oofie?

[snow willow]

nope

Cinemachine is designed to have many, many virtual cameras in the scene at a time

that's why Cinemachine uses virtual cameras instead of multiple real cameras

the performance footprint of a virtual camera that is not currently the highest priority one is virtually nothing

[mossy fossil]

Oh

My

God

That's epic

Thx

uh i already solved this problem months ago but i lost the code and now i need help again lol
i'm on a topdown game where the camera normally follows the player
when LMB is pressed i want the camera to move to a point between the player's position and the mouse
it's just moving infinitely forward right now

Pls halp

[uneven stream]

hi, i just created a physics object with Dynamic mode and another with static

ok so whenever the dynamic object touches the static it pass trough

and i want it to collide with it

but idk how to do it so i need help

[spiral swan]

I think you might need to use something like this:

camera.transform.postion = Vector2.lerp(playerposition, mouseposition, 1f);

[uneven stream]

it does this, and go to the end of the universe, even if i put a static object

it should do this but it passes trough

[snow willow]

do both objects have colliders?

2D colliders

[uneven stream]

yup

[snow willow]

How are you moving the dynamic body?

[uneven stream]

the green box marks it

[snow willow]

I only see one green box in your screenshot

[uneven stream]

this is the physics of the ball (dynamic)

[snow willow]

Ok but

about the colliders?

[snow willow]

And also that doesn't answer how you are moving the body
