[upbeat path]

to access the DB use Application.streamingAssetsPath

[arctic lake]

Or will they need to create a new table themselves

[upbeat path]

if it's in streaming Assets it will be included in all downloads

[arctic lake]

Kk, thanks again

if we want code to execute while in prefab edit mode, is there an event we can subscribe to? currently using OnDrawGizmo 😂

[regal olive]

I want to find a way that when I grab a corner I can move but only what can my arm allow me to. What I mean what this is how can I make my character attached but still able to do some small movements

Hey, I am sorry to be desperate on a Sunday, but I am on a deadline and I can no longer bake reflection probes. I get this error. Googling this error has not been helpful.

I have restarted unity several times. Only solution that works currently is duplicating the probe and rebaking the new probe, but this breaks all of the reflection probe overrides in the scene.

[dapper cave]

that only updates on cursor move

[undone coral]

do you use source control?

and is this built in pipeline?

[undone coral]

did the size of reflection probes change since they were baked?

[timber flame]

:/

[hallow elk]

No. And rebaking them does not fix it.

This is Built in pipeline. Yes, we use source control.

[hallow elk]

I did find another workaround: I deleted every reflection probe exr file in the project and rebaked everything. This seemed to solve the issue for now. I am wondering if I need to submit a bug report, though.

[topaz pond]

Anyone have any clue why this could be happening? Whopping 10ms self for Director.PrepareFrame. On latest 2021 LTS.

It does not happen in an older project with the same setup as far as I can tell.

Here's a deep-profiled frame.

Is there anyone here that knows something about smooth Camera movement, im kinda having a problem with it (i don't want any yt links or smth)
Let me know if u can help

I have this problem with my SmoothCameraFollow Script for my platformer game:
For now it works, but i want to implement a functionality that the camera only moves when the player is moving out of the jump range (the jump range is the distance of the players jump height) But, the jump range can also get lower if the player moves to a lower platform.
How can i make a functionality in this script where the camera doesn't move when the player is jumping, but does move when the player is moving in the y axis (not by jumping)

[chilly nymph]

This isn't an advanced question, and try and post in only one thread.

[chilly nymph]

Drop a breakoint.

[regal olive]

UpdateHandAnimation(InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.leftHand),leftHandAnimator); UpdateHandAnimation(InputDevices.GetDeviceAtXRNode(XRNode.rightHand),rightHandAnimator); (the error is XRNode does not contain a definition for "right hand" and "XRNode does not contain a definition for "left hand")

im a noob

but it seems

to be advanced

(following tutorial)

[chilly nymph]

There's no lefthand enum

[regal olive]

enum?

[regal olive]

you mean number?

[chilly nymph]

f12 XRNode.rightHand

[regal olive]

meaning what

confused

wait

fixed

[undone coral]

i think a setting changed, which you'd be maybe able to find in source control, and then since probes are visible to each other it glitched out

[regal olive]

protected override void OnSelectEntered()
    {
        rigidbodyObj.isKinematic = true;
        and rigidbodyObj.detectCollisions = false;
    }
    protected override void OnSelectExited()
    {
        rigidbodyObj.isKinematic = false;
        and rigidbodyObj.detectCollisions = true; 
    }
} ```

is this correct

because I got 4 errors,

if someone could help me with this

this would be great

this is the last thing to do

on the code; for context I'm following a youtube video and there is a comment (for something I need to fix)

found a comment on youtube

it just said

FOR FIX:

 "private Rigidbody rigidbodyObj; 
    
    void start -     rigidbodyObj = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();

    OnSelectEntered -     rigidbodyObj.isKinematic = true;
       and      rigidbodyObj.detectCollisions = false;
    OnSelectExited -        rigidbodyObj.isKinematic = false;
       and      rigidbodyObj.detectCollisions = true;" ```

and I assumed it meant (I assumed on select entered meant "protected override void OnselectEntered"

    {
        rigidbodyObj.isKinematic = true;
        and rigidbodyObj.detectCollisions = false;
    }
    protected override void OnSelectExited()
    {
        rigidbodyObj.isKinematic = false;
        and rigidbodyObj.detectCollisions = true; 
    }

so lets hope I did it right

I know what they meant by void start

[quiet drum]

please, use ` to parse your code,
example :
```cs
void Start()
{
Debug.log("hello world");
}
```
will give you :

void Start()
{
    Debug.log("hello world");
}

it will be easier to understand

[regal olive]

ok

ill use that

[regal olive]

thanks

huge help

I forogt how to do that

k done

uh does anybody know how 2 fix

[shadow seal]

Fix what? If it's the code you posted you need to learn some basic C#

[regal olive]

exactly

IM A NOOB

[shadow seal]

So why did you pick #archived-code-advanced ?

[regal olive]

uh cuz it looks advanced

I might be wrong

[shadow seal]

You are entirely wrong

[regal olive]

ok good

[shadow seal]

Do some tutorials pinned in #💻┃code-beginner

[regal olive]

okok

but do u know how to 2

fix

[shadow seal]

Yes, delete it and start again

You clearly do not know any C# syntax

[regal olive]

duh

[shadow seal]

So go and learn it first

[regal olive]

...

then rewrite what the youtube comment said?

[shadow seal]

If it said that, ignore it

[regal olive]

o

[frank socket]

I'm sorry but this is the most cursed thing I have ever seen in my life.

[regal olive]

I know right???

just ignore this

please

buttttttttt It would help if someone knew how 2 fix

because the comment doesn't give much of an explenation

on how

[shadow seal]

No, you need to put some effort into learning the language

[regal olive]

ok

[shadow seal]

Only then can you understand the issue

[regal olive]

but were 2 start

[frank socket]

I believe he is trolling

[regal olive]

NO I SWEAR

[shadow seal]

^

[regal olive]

k

[shadow seal]

You'd be surprised

[regal olive]

damn

now I kinda feel

sad

about my stupidity

:((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

[shadow seal]

It's not stupidity, it's just a lack of knowledge

Not knowing something doesn't make you dumb

[regal olive]

I guess that's true

k thx I guess

Ill come back to this code

when I have the right knowlege

and ill see what I did wrong

ill prob be laughing about it or smth

like a wow I can't believe I did that

k off to learn

how c# works

[humble leaf]

In the future, you belong in #💻┃code-beginner. Use that channel.

[regal olive]

okayyyyyyyy I get ittt

[regal olive]

he alr told me that

[humble leaf]

That's what happens when you bury your own conversation. 🤷‍♂️

[regal olive]

💀

[west scarab]

Sometimes I feel like this server could really use an enforced thread system, so many people spam channels it's nuts

At least for #💻┃code-beginner or something, it would make it much easier to follow conversations...

[jolly token]

Yeah There is also new forum channel system in discord, it might be better for Q&A channels like that..

[west scarab]

Yep, I saw that on another programming oriented server and thought it was really neat

Especially since it makes finding archived threads easier imo

[jolly token]

I think threads are not used because it is hard to 'bump' and easily forgotten when scrolled up

[west scarab]

Yes, that's why the forum system is cool, because it just uses normal threads, but adds an overview and a search functionality

Now I hope admins hear us pray 🙏

[young wraith]

Hi I'm having an error "IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array "

https://codeshare.io/WdZbvE

I think I'm missing something

[jolly token]

Do you know how to use breakpoint?

[young wraith]

yup

I think the problem is in Color[] pixels = _templateDirtMask.GetPixels();

I think it reach its maximum size?

[jolly token]

You should put breakpoint and see the each variables are same as you expected

[young wraith]

I think its not variable problem but more of array color

[jolly token]

So you should inspect what size is the array, and which access to index that fails

[young wraith]

what is the maximum size of array? I tried checking it using pixels.Length

[jolly token]

it's max value of int so I doubt that, again, check which index fails.

[young wraith]

will do thank you

[snow flint]

hi guys, wondering if anyone could guide me on something

i have units which have stats example:

    "unitName": "AdminUnit",
    "statValues":[
        {
            "statName": "armor",
            "statValue": 5
        },
    "passives":[
        "orc"
    ]

but i also have the concept of passives

    "passiveName": "Orc",
    "statValues":[
        {
            "statName": "armorBonus",
            "statValue": 2
        }
    ]

wondering how i can map armor to armorBonus in code?
i thought i could call them the same thing and do it that way?

wondering if anyone had soe advice for me

[jolly token]

The structure is totally up to you, I would treat stats as enum

[dapper cave]

How do you bake normals of a Mesh.MeshData inside a job?

Also how do I remove elements from a NativeArray, I'd use a NativeList but GetVertexData<Vector3> only returns nativearrays

[livid kraken]

        {
            float3 va = Vertices[a];
            float3 vb = Vertices[b];
            float3 vc = Vertices[c];
            float3 vab = math.normalize( vb - va );
            float3 vac = math.normalize( vc - va );
            return math.cross( vab , vac );
        }``` something like this. Also you dont remove elements from an array. You copy over what you want to a new smaller array for example

[maiden turtle]

yeah, calling them the same is fine, but you'll also need to figure out how you combine each stat. you might have additive or multiplicative stats, like if it's armor, it's additive presumably, if it's damage multiplier, it would me multiplicative. for some stats you'd also probably need to introduce a cap

[random dust]

There are a million ways to do that, so we can't feed you any proper answer

If they have relevance, you make a Dictionary of relevant items, and put armor as a key and the armorBonus as value

If there is more to it, it obviously becomes much more, because a Dictionary like this isn't scalable

You can also make a class that holds one value (armor), and a reference to the same class with a difference instance (armorBonus) as reference 🤷

[livid kraken]

Can I ask why you are pointing me to the readme when I clearly wrapped the sample code I provided correctly? Since it was just a sample I did not feel the need to put a exact syntax highlight on it.

[fresh salmon]

Plus, it wasn't C# but shader

[tawny bear]

Oh my bad

If it was C# just always put highlighting on it though

[livid kraken]

it wasnt a shader just a function to calc Normals that can be used in a job

so it is c# but the specific highlight is not need

since it's JUST a sample

[tawny bear]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[snow flint]

thanks for all the tips guys! i will do some thinking

[mint sleet]

     public async Task MakeRequest<T>(VRCloudRequestBase vrCloudrequest, UnityEvent<VRCloudResponseBase> callback) where T : VRCloudResponseBase, new()
        {
            
            var baseURL = _vrCloudSettings.BaseUrl.Value;
            DownloadHandlerBuffer dH = new DownloadHandlerBuffer();
            if (vrCloudrequest is IPost)
            {```

Hello,
is there any way to fınd out whıch class is this that comes as a vrCloudRequest Base class? So I have to cast from baseclass to derived class. But do not want to use is keywrod since there might be thousands of subclasses.

[obsidian glade]

.GetType();?
though it does suggest there may be a flaw in the structure or architecture of your code if you need to do this

[random dust]

You can make it a generic type that implements that VRCloudRequestBase class, and use typeof() I believe

Might not even have to be generic, but I assume the type is harder to retrieve if it's passed as a derived type

[mint sleet]

        public class EnduserSendOTP : VRCloudRequestBase, IPost
        {
            public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }
        }```

This is a derived class. Like PhoneNumberthere will be different attributes. These attributes will be the payload of the HTTP request in the MakeRequestgeneric function.

in order to reach those attribues in the EndUserSendOTP I have to downcast the coming VRCloudRequestBase how can it be done?

@random dust @obsidian glade

[random dust]

Can you make the method generic?

[mint sleet]

what method are you talking about

[random dust]

Sorry, I mean can you make the vrCloudRequest parameter in that MakeRequest method generic?

If you want to read those attributes, you can use typeof() on the generic parameter, and get all properties. Don't take my word for it though

[mint sleet]

hmm.

you mean I might change VRCloudRequestBase by a T

rıght?

@random dust

that is brilliant

why not is not it? @obsidian glade

   public async Task MakeRequest<T,G>(VRCloudRequestBase vrCloudrequest, UnityE```

so the G will be what the VRCludRequestBase is

[random dust]

I suggest you make it

public async Task MakeRequest<TRequest, TResponse>(TRequest vrCloudrequest, UnityEvent<VRCloudResponseBase> callback) where TResponse : VRCloudResponseBase, new()

It is common practice to start generic types with T

Also, what you just wrote won't work since you need to make the actual type the generic type

Also, I assume you want to return Task<TResponse>

Unless you use the callback as the return value, which I don't see the use of if you use async-await lol

[mint sleet]

yes I'll use common practice,
I'll return both async or event, so people will choose what they want to use

Thank you @random dust

[random dust]

Ehhhh

Well that works, but I auggest seperating them and creating an overloaded method that accepts the callback

That one would be async void, and the other one without the callback is async Task<TResponse>

[mint sleet]

yes, sounds reasonable

[random dust]

But async void will prevent any exception from being thrown, so doing this requires you to wrap it all around a big try-catch block

[mint sleet]

I do not like it

[random dust]

And you will have to add a second callback in case an error exists, with the exception as parameter

[mint sleet]

I return a IResult

[random dust]

Otherwise you will never handle the error

So I suggest you just remove the callback, or you need to make sure the errors are handled

[mint sleet]

I can cast the errors through OnErrorOccured event as well. So all subscribers to this event will get informed if that happens. But overloading makes sense to me. Let me implement it asap.

Thanks again!!!

[high gulch]

Anyone know how to create a TextMeshPro FontIcons file via script? like supplying the json and texture file then calling a function to generate the fonticons? I'm seeking to automate creation instead of going through window > textmeshpro > sprite importer. I've worked around it by opening the importer window automatically but I'd like to remove that step and just have the editor script make it for me. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

[trail cloak]

There is a follow up, you are right, it is a scripting bug, but it happens because of Unity Version Update:

We uses steam sdk for basic DRM protection, and it depends on libsteamsdk(steamapi64.dll), for validating the dll itself is unmodified, we compare the file byte counts to a hard-coded uint in script, and the size of the libsteamsdk on mac end has changed after build, and thus failed the genuine check, if I choose to build to both Apple Silicon & Intel 64, the file itself disappears as well.

Any way, it's solved

Strangely, we use Application.Quit(); for quiting if the file is altered, but it turns to a Crash in Mac build.... weird

[undone coral]

it's better to create overloads of MakeRequest

or to use reflection for serialization

[undone coral]

what kind of backend API is it? a REST api?

clients can be generated from Interface Description Language. a common one is OpenAPI

[mint sleet]

rest api

[mint sleet]

what is the point of using async operations in Unity since everything in unity does not block other operations.

why? did you put that emoji

where am I missing

[sly grove]

Because if you do a blocking operation on the main thread you will most certainly block the entire game engine

See what happens if you write Thread.Sleep(5000); in your code.

[mint sleet]

but for example playing with a character does not block anything at all?

[sly grove]

wdym "playing with a character"?

[mint sleet]

play with a fps character in the play mode for example

[sly grove]

All code you write is blocking

[mint sleet]

oh my boss calling me

I want to discuss with you this 😄

[sly grove]

weirdly specific example but when you make a character controller, or any code, you only write code that will run very quickly otherwise your game will freeze and your framerate will suffer.

[undone coral]

is there already an OpenAPI file specifying the API?

it's okay @mint sleet it looks like you have a lot of experience there's idiosyncratic unity stuff to learn

that resembles developing visual basic apps in the late 90s

[random dust]

Everything blocks

It takes time to process code

C# is just really fast at doing it

The point of Async is providing a solution for those pieces of code that block longer than you want to wait for on a main thread

Because main thread blocking is bad when it's noticeable

Also, even though Unity does not do multithreading, it still isn't blocking if you use async, since it works the same as coroutines

[woeful remnant]

Has anyone done any work on scripting additions/modifications to the unity asset input pipeline?

[undone coral]

yeah what's your objective

then i can point you to a specific example maybe

[woeful remnant]

I'm looking to do some auto preprocessing for models as they get fed into Unity to do some kind of auto-rigging/ik setup for non-humanoid models

lots of resources for humanoids, but struggling to find much for generic/non humanoid models

[undone coral]

got it

you can look at the HDRP repo for examples

[woeful remnant]

ultimately I guess it wouldn't NEED to be done in the asset pipeline, and could just be a triggered function, but ideally it would be as simple as drag-and-drop

[undone coral]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/Graphics/blob/master/Packages/com.unity.render-pipelines.high-definition/Editor/AssetProcessors/ModelPostProcessor.cs

probably something like this

[woeful remnant]

Ok I'll look in the HDRP repo some, I haven't mostly stuck to using the URP so far, so haven't checked that out, thanks for the reply

hmm ok yeah I'll have to dig around that example some more

thanks

[undone coral]

is that helpful?

the unity api is pretty straightforward here i think

[woeful remnant]

yeah definitely at least gives me a jumping off point for exploring some of the pre/postprocessing stuff for the asset pipeline

do you also possibly have any experience with what class object models/meshes are typically imported as?

[undone coral]

more examples:
https://grep.app/search?q=OnPostprocessModel(GameObject go)

[woeful remnant]

I've been trying to find good information on this and haven't been able to, but they aren't just Mesh objects

[undone coral]

hmm

[woeful remnant]

I've explored all the Mesh classes, and SkinnedRenderers

[undone coral]

https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/FPSSample/blob/master/Assets/Scripts/EditorTools/Editor/GeometryImporter.cs

[woeful remnant]

to try and figure out "what" they are, the inspector isn't super helpful in that regard either

[undone coral]

is this helpful?

[woeful remnant]

@undone coral Hopefully, will check it out thanks!

[dapper cave]

I'm trying to decimate triangles that are not facing up or down but I'm getting scrambled eggs instead. Probably linked to how triangles are encoded. I thought a triangle = 3 indices but it doesn't look that way, maybe they're composed of strips so one triangle index = 1 vertex index and the 2 previous ones in the array form the 2 other vertices. What's the fix?

[sly grove]

triangles in Unity meshes are indeed 3 indices each

0, 1, 2 is the first triangle, 3, 4, 5 is the second, and so on.

[dapper cave]

mmm so i need to set all 3 indices to -1 to nuke a facet?

[sly grove]

no you need to remove the triangle entirely

as in - create a new triangles array which doesn't include it

simplest way is probably something like:

List<int> newTriangles = new();
for(int i = 0; i * 3 < triangles.Length; i++) {
  int t0 = triangles[i * 3];
  int t1 = triangles[i * 3 + 1];
  int t2 = triangles[i * 3 + 2];

  if (TriangleIsOk(t0, t1, t2)) {
    newTriangles.Add(t0);
    newTriangles.Add(t1);
    newTriangles.Add(t2);
  }
}```

then do a ToArray() on the new triangles list at the end

[dapper cave]

ok I'll do that, out of curiosity, why does the list need to be rebuilt, don't triangle index set to -1 remove it? I see the facets get nuked

[dapper cave]

Is there a way to build a list and still benefiting from the new MeshData api perf wise? I'm working in a IJobParallel

[sly grove]

It just leaves an invalid triangle in the data

[dapper cave]

like this? still getting triangles crossing the void

[sly grove]

what is vStart

also what mesh are you starting with and what are you trying to do exactly

[dapper cave]

alright, switched to tStart, ur wirght

starting mesh on the left, trying to remove all facets that are pointing down

[undone coral]

hmmm

[undone coral]

update your video card drivers. also these are unusual stacks

[pastel wagon]

what's unusual about it?

2 or 3 other people are also getting similar crashes with different card manufacturers

[woeful remnant]

Is anyone familiar with creating dynamic instantiations of non-humanoid mesh objects without using prefabs?

Or does every animated asset need to be a prefab?

[pastel wagon]

your normal calculation doesn't really seem correct....

``` Hello, I am making a terrain generation script however for some reason TerrainData.GetSteepness always returns 0 and nothing else.

[woeful remnant]

then you probably need to look at the GetSteepness function instead of that code

also not sure if this qualifies as code-advanced

[frank socket]

?

I didn't make GetSteepness if that was what you thought.

[woeful remnant]

That doesn't mean it isn't the problem

is it part of some copied and pasted code?

[frank socket]

The code I sent?

[woeful remnant]

ah ok GetSteepness is part of the base Unity for terrain specific objects

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/TerrainData.GetSteepness.html

[sly grove]

prefabs are never completely necessary but it would be a huge pain the in the ass not to use one.

[woeful remnant]

instead of doing just Debug.Log(steepness) you should add in the values being passed to GetSteepness

[woeful remnant]

Yeah that's what I'm discovering... I was really hoping to be able to instantiate mesh objects without needing to make a prefab for every single model

[sly grove]

you don't have to make a prefab for every single model

just make one prefab and assign the mesh at runtime to the renderer

[woeful remnant]

You would need to make a prefab per animated mesh though, correct?

[frank socket]

It is just weird how it doesn't return the correct value seeing as the heightmap is correct.

[woeful remnant]

due to the bone/constraint differences

[sly grove]

Not if they use the same skeleton

and in either case no

you can use a base prefab and prefab variants at worst

[woeful remnant]

Ah interesting, I thought prefabs were a bit more static than that...

[woeful remnant]

I would check the whole value, maybe check the x and y values too

[woeful remnant]

I'm trying to create some dynamic non-humanoid "wildlife" style basic assets, that require different skeletons and IK rigs, but was hoping to create a bit more dynamic pipeline process to handle it

[frank socket]

The X and Y are fine as I create an alpha map in the same method. TerrainData.GetHeight also seemed like it wasn't working as intended, as in it was returning the incorrect values.

[woeful remnant]

then maybe it's your TerrainData itself

@sly grove have any good resources on reading up on how to use prefab variants for dynamic instantiations using different mesh/skeletons?

[sly grove]

no

too bespoke

[woeful remnant]

Any recommendations for this use-case then?

[sly grove]

just try to make everythign the same on the prefab (base prefab) and the only differences on the variants to be the mesh/armature/animator state machine

[woeful remnant]

Ok, but even doing so still is essentially creating a prefab per mesh/model though, just with inheritance from a base model correct? No way to dynamically set the mesh/skeleton through code alone?

[sly grove]

you can set the mesh

it's simple - mySkinnedRenderer.mesh = myMesh;

but if the skeletons are different you need to also have different hierarchies

so it's a pain

[woeful remnant]

mmm

[sly grove]

it's easier to do this in the editor via prefab variants than through code

[woeful remnant]

yeah seeming that way, is that what folks normally do for large number of animated assets then?

just create an object/prefab of every entity

[sly grove]

Basically yeah, why not?

if you have a lot of assets you have a lot of art work to do

that's how it is

the things that are common like the AI code etc you make common

[pastel wagon]

you're doing integer division where I assume you want floats

[sly grove]

but the art and animation part if it needs to be different for each thing... it needs to be different

[woeful remnant]

well honestly seems like the artwork is faster in that regard, depending on the artwork style of course

[pastel wagon]

this is doing integer division and casting the result to float:
(float)(x / terrain.terrainData.alphamapWidth - 1)

[woeful remnant]

I could churn out 2-3 rigged/animated low poly meshes in an afternoon for non player characters, but I guess the time spent is more of a "where the experience lies" sort of thing here

[woeful remnant]

oh good catch! He should be casting x or alphamapWidth to a float

[frank socket]

GetSteepness still seems to return 0;

[pastel wagon]

subtracting 1 there is also suspect. I'm not familiar with the function but I'd expect you need to pass it a number between 0 and 1?

[frank socket]

Yes

[pastel wagon]

check your order of operations

x/width - 1 is not the same as x/(width-1)

x/width - 1 will always be negative if x < width

[frank socket]

Thanks, this was the issue.

[brittle pumice]

hello

is there a way to get the guid in OnPostprocessModel method

[sly grove]

doesn't seem like it

[jolly token]

Can you use assetPath property to get GUID?

[brittle pumice]

testing this now but im not seeing expected resultis

do i use AssetDatabase.TryGetGUIDAndLocalFileIdentifier

or

var guid = AssetDatabase.AssetPathToGUID(assetPath, AssetPathToGUIDOptions.OnlyExistingAssets);

[sly grove]

i doubt this will work because these objects are temporary objects that exist before the asset is saved

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AssetPostprocessor.OnPostprocessModel.html

This function is called before the final Prefab is created and before it is written to disk, thus you have full control over the generated game objects and components.

Any references to game objects or meshes will become invalid after the import has been completed

So there isn't really an asset yet.

[jolly token]

Yeah I suppose GUID might not even exist at that point

[brittle pumice]

ok 😦

[dapper cave]

is there an Update even that doesn't get affected by Time.timeScale = 0 ?

[gray pulsar]

you can use Time.unscaledDeltaTime. Update still runs even if timeScale is 0.

[sly grove]

Update doesn't get affected by time scale.

FIxedUpdate does.

[dapper cave]

thanks, any way to get a rigidbody not be affected by timescale=0?

[sly grove]

Not really no.

A specific Rigidbody?

You trying to make Braid?

[dapper cave]

yeah the camera uses that to avoid going through world

[dapper cave]

no, just your usualy RTS freeze build

[sly grove]

Recommend switching to a CharacterController instead

[chilly nymph]

Does anyone know if LeanTouch offers multi select and drag individual bodies? When I select multiple objects I want to be able to control each ones position separately with fingers.

[dapper cave]

I'll do that 👍

it's weird that mecanim doesn't get timescaled, it should freeze up

[sly grove]

it has options for scaled/unscaled time I believe

[dapper cave]

it does... might be something else

CharacterController freezes on timescale = 0... mmmm... might have to make one myself

[sly grove]

Even in Update? I guess it might still since it's part of the physics engine. What if you do Physics.SyncTransforms(); each time you move it?

[dapper cave]

Oh I never used that for this purpose, lemme try

[dapper cave]

nope

i wonder if one rigidbody can be forced to update

[sly grove]

definitely not

You can force the whole physics scene to update with Physics.Simulate

It should be simple enough to just make a spherecast-based movement script for your camera

[dapper cave]

come on rider, auto write the files!

[dapper cave]

yes, working on it

[dapper cave]

oh SmoothDamp is affected by timeScale, let's see if they added a flag to ignore

nope, no problemo

oh that's interesting, if a kinematic is in interpolate continuous speculative, it behaves like a non kinematic and takes over direct movement, not so with a none-discrete

alright done!

2021.3 iteration time is abysmal, far cry from Ante's target of 100ms

[gray pulsar]

you can pass a manual deltaTime value into SmoothDamp. Pass in Time.unscaledDeltaTime and it'll ignore timescale.

[dapper cave]

cool, thx. i didn't see that, just copied the unity implementation and replaced

[brisk pasture]

why you always read the docs

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Vector3.SmoothDamp.html

public static Vector3 SmoothDamp(Vector3 current, Vector3 target, ref Vector3 currentVelocity, float smoothTime, float maxSpeed = Mathf.Infinity, float deltaTime = Time.deltaTime);

can see it default to Time.deltaTime, but you can feed it what ever you want

[lapis pond]

Hello people 🙂

Does anybody know whether Unity does or does not support proxy authentification when using WebRequests and Addressables?

[scenic forge]

I'm looking at migrating from JsonUtility to com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json, but I'm worried about performance since JSON de/serialization is used everywhere in my game

Specifically GC allocations because JsonUtility has zero GC.

com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json has special AOT handling for IL2Cpp which my project does use, so I'm wondering what's the best way to profile it, because I'm under the impression that editor profiling will not be accurate in this case.

[sage radish]

Best case scenario, you have a single shared function you can edit to add ProfilerMarkers
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Unity.Profiling.ProfilerMarker.html

[scenic forge]

Guess I'll be making a separate project to profile this in isolation.

Working with IL2Cpp is kind of annoying that all performance related things have to be taken with a grain of salt

I also wish com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json had more documentation.

[mint sleet]

Hello!

How can I deserialize a JSON file that is wrapped in a result class?

{
  "data": {
    "token": "eyJhbGciOiJodHRwOi8vd3d3LnczLm9yZy8yMDAxLzA0L3htbGRzaWctbW9yZSNobWFjLXNoYTI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.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.06KUzrMH3x9ODv5ySrdv5gC41L-YjWXS4yoZphoWb3g",
    "expiration": "2022-10-05T00:26:19.5198119+02:00"
  },
  "success": true,
  "message": null
}```

data, sucess and message is a wrapper classs's elements.

token and expiration is "AccessToken" class.

I have more than just "access token" class .that means it is not smart to make c# classess for each response.

is there any way?

[sly grove]

this is #archived-code-general stuff

it's literally just creating classes that match the structure of your json

[mint sleet]

ahhhh. my problem is literally overthinking. You'd laughed if I explain what I had thought! Anyways' thaks ``

I have already started the question here, I'd like to continue if you don't mind for this time.

        [Serializable] public class Result : VRCloudResponseBase
        {
            public AccessToken data;
            public bool success;
            public string message;
        }
        
        [Serializable] public class AccessToken
        {
            public string token;
            public DateTime expiration;
        }
        [Serializable] public class User
        {
            public string name;
            public string surname;
        }```

The Resultclass has AccessToken field. But this field differs from response to response.

I do not want to make the Result class multiple times.

What would you recommend? Thank you!

[sly grove]

in what way

[mint sleet]

so I have for example User class instead of AccessToken

and in User class I have different properties. So if I replace the AccessToken field in the Result object then the User works, but not the AccessToken

[sly grove]

is it under the same data key?

but with a different structure?

[mint sleet]

yes. I changed the Unıty Object Class examples above.

the Result must be a wrapper object over all responses. Not belong to only AccessToken

@sly grove

[sly grove]

Without some kind of other marker for the data, you'll need to just make one class that has all the fields of both objects

[mint sleet]

What I trıed: I derieved both User and AccessToken from a base class and referenced that in place of AccessToken field. did not work.

[sly grove]

        [Serializable] public class Data
        {
            public string token;
            public DateTime expiration;
            public string name;
            public string surname;
        }```

then figure out what it is after by checking which fields exist and which don't

something like that

[mint sleet]

I wanted to have them in structure. But I do not know if it does worth to make it.

[sly grove]

the problem is there's no indication in your data about which object it is

this could be done with some custom json deserialization logic, but you don't have that luxury if you're using JsonUtility

[undone coral]

you should describe your API using OpenAPI, then generate a C# client for it. it will give you typed, blocking and async versions of all your method calls, named and strongly typed. you should also not login on the server - you shouldn't have a /login method that, on the server, calls AD FS, which is what you are doing right now

carefully review these examples on AD FS: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-fs/overview/ad-fs-openid-connect-oauth-flows-scenarios

you can use an OIDC (openid connect) asset for unity. unity also makes a package

good luck out there

MagicOnion also does this, if you do not want to author an IDL. it is compatible with unity and the M$ backend frameworks

[timber shadow]

Anyone seen an error like this before? TypeLoadException: Could not resolve type with token 01000149

[mint sleet]

I use my custom user authentication and authorization system.

in addition to this, the app is not single-sign on, but a VR application.
token coming from callback does not work in VR since headsets does not have deeplink. I looked over all third party sytems none of them provided OAuth2.0 system for VR

[plain gate]

I have an array of Vector3 points. These point each have a corresponding bucket number 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. I need to sort these points based off its bucket number. I need to do this all within the Vector3 points array. What would be the most efficient way of doing this?

[mint sleet]

What is bucket number?

[plain gate]

for me it is a which child of the tree it is going to go into. 8 Children total for each node.

[mint sleet]

Do you want to sort them in this order, for example: 000,001,002 ?

[plain gate]

No the order within the bucket doesnt matter. Only that all the 0s or 1s or 2s are together

[mint sleet]

do you want to aggregate them into groups right?

[plain gate]

correct

[mint sleet]

if so, just take a look into "linq with groups"

[plain gate]

I will check it out

[mint sleet]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7325278/group-by-in-linq

[mint sleet]

do you have any reccomendation for this JSON utility

I have to find a decent library and stick to it

[jolly token]

Use Json.NET if you need anything advanced

JsonUtility is bare minimum

[scenic forge]

I just so happened to go down a rabbit hole to test Json.NET (using com.unity.nuget.newtonsoft-json) vs JsonUtility, in IL2Cpp

For the type of data I'm deserializing (~40 KB in size, up to 7 nested layers, strings floats ints arrays) Json.NET takes about twice as long, and trice as much GC.

[sly grove]

JsonUtility is probably faster and less GC yes

it's optimized for that

People choose newtonsoft for the richness of its feature set

[scenic forge]

Yes which is the reason I'm looking into it in the first place, it would simplify a lot of my code.

It's unfortunate that the performance isn't acceptable for my game.

Maybe I should look into SG based libraries.

[sly grove]

what's the use case for this serialization?

[scenic forge]

Deserialization, my game hits a lot of server endpoints, it's like death by a thousand cuts kind of deal.

[sly grove]

deserialization of network responses?

[scenic forge]

Yeah.

[sly grove]

Are you deserializing on the main thread?

[scenic forge]

Yeah

[sly grove]

Should be able to deserialize on the background thread

before passing the data to the main

[scenic forge]

🤔

With jobs?

[sly grove]

no

normal C# threading

[scenic forge]

Not sure, I don't think each individual deserialization is big enough to warrant that.

[sly grove]

you just said you do a lot of networking

surely that's worth a dedicated thread to do network requests and deserialization

if not a thread pool

[scenic forge]

Network requests are done with UWR

[sly grove]

might have to change that

[scenic forge]

Oh, why so?

Tbh, the current performance with deserializing is fine, I'm just not satisfied with the ugly code because of JsonUtility, so I thought if Json.NET had comparable performance I'll just switch over

[sly grove]

Because I don't think UWR gives you hooks to read the data from a thread that is not the main thread

[scenic forge]

Yeah the whole point of this investigation is to see if I can just drop in replace JsonUtility with Json.NET to clean up my code

If I have to rewrite a ton of stuffs to force Json.NET in, then I'm fine sticking with JsonUtility.

[sly grove]

What I'm talking about has nothing to do with JsonUtility vs Json.NET

you can replace it either way

I'm talking about how to get your deserialization to happen on a background thread

so that it doesn't freeze your game

[scenic forge]

It doesn't already, the current performance is fine

It might if I switch over to Json.NET because it's slower.

[mint sleet]

as I understood there are three ways to do so;

1. Async operations
2. Coroutines
3. Threads.

Event though Async operations are done the job in my project, the deserialized response should be cast through the application. And async opearations is eliminated.

[sly grove]

• coroutines only help if you can break the work up somehow into small chunks, which can't be done for the deserialization techniques under discussion
• async operations only help if the work being waited for is being done in another thread

so it all kinda boils down to threading

[mint sleet]

when we use coroutine does the unity not create a new thread for it?

[sly grove]

no

coroutines use the main thread

[mint sleet]

but accomplish the same result, is not it?

in terms of not blocking the thread?

[sly grove]

coroutines block the main thread

the magic of a coroutine is its ability to pause its work and resume later

you can only do that if the work you're doing can be broken up into small chunks

[mint sleet]

hmm. what about async operations. is that the same as acoroutines in terms of thread usege

[sly grove]

noi

most async things you're thinking of use a thread pool to do whatever IO operation they're usually doing

if you do normal "coroutine replacement" async, that's just the same as a coroutine

[mint sleet]

what about creating new thread? Would I choose either of them in a new thread? (coroutines, async) Can I follow the process of the thread?

[sly grove]

i don't really know what you mean

[mint sleet]

I have some .net Web APIs that my application is being interacted with. My workflow is, for example getting a data from server and deserializing it and casting through the events. So all subscribers can get the deserialized data.

and I am not sure what happens if I use coroutine, so it blocks the main thread!

Or is it possible to use "async" operations in case I want them to be casted by events.

@sly grove

[sly grove]

what are "events" in this context and what does "casting through the events" mean?

and what does that have to do with threading and async operations

[mint sleet]

I made "triggers" and "receivers". So a "trigger" makes an API request (coroutine or async) and the incoming JSON file is deserialized and is sent to UnityEvents. All subsribers of the particular event get the deserialized unity game object.

[sly grove]

none of the event stuff is really relevant to the discussion

[mint sleet]

it is actually

[sly grove]

that's what happens after deserialization

[mint sleet]

yes but you can not deserialize a "Task" right?

[sly grove]

i don't see why would need to?

who said anything about deserializing tasks?

[mint sleet]

is it possible?

[sly grove]

i don't even know what it means

A Task is a handle for an asynchronous operation

what does deserializing it mean

[mint sleet]

converting Json to unity object

but the thing is do we not have to wait until the task is completed before we deserialize it?
it just my understanding.

let me give you an example just let me open the IDE

[sly grove]

to be honest I don't understand what this discussion is about anymore

[mint sleet]

I'll summarize it in a minute.

this is another discussion, that is what approach should I use for my interaction with the backend and deserializing the response.
I made a TriggerManager, that uses UnityGameObject to make API request.
The response coming is a JSON. So I have to deserialize and use delegates to send the response object to all the subscribers.
If I use async operations before the operations is finished, I can not use delegates, right?
if I use coroutines it blocks the mainthread
if I use new thread, what should I use?

@sly grove

[atomic harbor]

putting this here because I was told that this is handled by jit in C# but since unity compiles C# to C++ I'm pretty sure that means there is no jit because there is no runtime in the C# realm

is there a way to define methods (or something similar) that will be compiled inline? E.g. if I need to round to an int with MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero a lot I feel like it would be inefficient to do something likecsharp public static int Round(float num) { return (int)Math.Round(num, MidpointRounding.AwayFromZero); }I asked in a general coding server and was told that the C# jit will compile it to be inlined if it sees fit

with this example, if I'm doing something like rasterizing an image there could be hundreds of thousands to millions of jumps if it's not inlined

[thin mesa]

if you are using IL2CPP then yes there will be no JIT because that is AOT, if you are using mono then it will not be cross compiled to c++
but you can give the compiler help knowing you want that inlined with the attribute [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveInlining)]

[atomic harbor]

thanks

[verbal hare]

Is there a way to create a view over some mesh data that already exists in a native array somewhere? I have some mesh data I manage in native code and I would like to integrate it with the physics system, but I want to avoid the memory overhead of maintaining a copy on the scripting side.

[rigid dagger]

Does anyone have experience running play mode tests from the command line for tests which also use InputSystem? I have a couple tests with mouse and keyboard input automated that are failing in a Jenkins build. Running in the local Unity editor is fine.

[undone coral]

is there an easy way to find particle system physics cost in the profiler

[idle prairie]

Hello i have a problem regarding web gl and the unity editor basically when I play my game in the editor everthing goes smoothly however when i play it in chrome there is one line of code that is not activating the line is checking if a list contains a certain variable and if it does it will play a particle system this is the line of code: if(newList.Contains(Song.timeSamples))
{
shotPS.Play();
Invoke("ChangeParticleSysPos", .2f);

   }

[chilly nymph]

Is there a reason you have to invoke?

But also make sure you're songs are in a resource folder or accessible to the build.

Look into addressables if you need to.

[idle prairie]

the song is still playing even though its not in resources is that normal?

[chilly nymph]

A build will not contain random files unless you build them with the process.

[idle prairie]

just read that unity web gl doesent support timesamples 😦

spent a quarter of the day trying to figure this out too :/

[dapper cave]

so uGUI anchor don't compensate for parent scale :/ if your parent happens to have a scale of 10 then screen resized gets amplified by 10x so your UI stuff shoots off to space

[jolly token]

You should not scale UI unless for temporary animation, that's what sizeDelta is there for

[dapper cave]

I'm not animating

[jolly token]

Then you should never scale UI

[undone coral]

this isn't really #archived-code-advanced

[undone coral]

you are reinventing unirx

and unitask

@mint sleet

var subject = new Subject<Response>();

async UniTask<Response> RemoteGet() {
 await UniTask.SwitchToThreadPool();
 // whatever blocking api call you're doing without unitywebrequest
 var responseJsonString = restClient.Get("some/url");
 var typedResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Response>(responseJsonString);
 await UniTask.SwitchToMainThread();
 subject.OnNext(typedResponse);
 return typedResponse;
}

subject.Subscribe(response => Debug.Log(response)).AddTo(this);
RemoteGet().Forget();
// etc. etc.

does this make sense?

[mint sleet]

it makes sense but have not had an experience with that.

@undone coral

this Subject behaves like delegate?

the restClient object is a dummy right?

can I use UWR here for the request?

[random dust]

Never in my life have I seen c# code just switch to another thread

Does this inject code where you call that?

Why doesn't he just await the call?

[compact ingot]

Welcome to the magical world of unitask

[dapper nest]

So I've got a question regarding class design for more experienced c# developers. What cases would a property be better than a method for getting data? Take the following simple example:

private Rigidbody m_rigidbody;

// Option 1
public Vector3 Velocity
{
    get { return m_rigidbody.velocity; }
}

// Option 2
public Vector3 GetVelocity()
{
    return m_rigidbody.velocity;
}

What are the fundamental differences between these two, especially in a unity context. Most discussions found online are for regular c# development

[austere jewel]

They are the same thing, almost literally

[devout hare]

"Unity context" doesn't change anything in this regard. You can just read the general C# discourse.

[dapper nest]

So if they are the same in that sense, from a design perspective, what do you think are their respective usecases?

[devout hare]

They're the same thing so use cases are also the same

[austere jewel]

If the method literally just returns a value then a property is generally used more often.

Also I would write both like:

public Vector3 Velocity => m_rigidbody.velocity;
    
public Vector3 GetVelocity() => m_rigidbody.velocity;

As they are single-line

The benefit of a property would be that you could easily add a setter and the API wouldn't then have SetVelocity and GetVelocity methods, which would seem silly

[random dust]

They're the same

c# lowers properties into methods

So the getter of a property becomes GetValue(), and the setter becomes SetValue()

Small correction: they're not lowered into them, but somewhere whilst compiling it happens I believe

Only benefit of manually defining a set method would be that you have more freedom over the return value, properties and/or whether it's async or not

Same with the get method

[random dust]

But how does it work?

Does it inject code on spots where it is called?

[brisk pasture]

though the difference between a property with a get and a method i find i sometimes will choose based on how much work it does

feel if something is a property it should not be doing very much logic in the getter, and be safe to get often. If it was a expensive call i would make it a method and expect the caller to cache the result

[undone coral]

yes

[undone coral]

restclient would be something out of the C# ecosystem

[undone coral]

Subject is a term of art, it is what it is. it is a mailbox. it is both a thing you can send messages to and a thing you can listen to

the actual class exists

[undone coral]

no

tasks are not threads

tasks aren't state machines

tasks are a method and a promise

they are a javascript Promise . they are a Runnable + CompletableFuture in java

[brisk pasture]

its just a handle to keep track of work that may or may not have happened yet

[undone coral]

use methods when there are side effects

property setters tend to have side effects. for example text in a textmeshpro component

[undone coral]

yes but you wouldn't switch threads. you don't need to touch threads for UWR

[jolly token]

Why would it inject code, awaiting Task can change thread by the C# spec.
Only in Unity, they override SynchronizationContext, and it forces Tasks to run at main thread by default.

[compact ingot]

It does not force any task to run on the main thread, it just makes it more explicit where it runs. A Task.Run will always run on the threadpool even with unitask

[jolly token]

Yeah that's why I said 'by default'

I think it's more of using Task.Run is explicitly specifying that it will use threadpool?

semantic wise

[compact ingot]

If you want to run on threadpool with unitask you can make it super explicit with UniTask.RunOnThreadPool

[compact ingot]

That’s just the default task launcher and semantic wise does not specify where it runs (does not have to be the thread pool but is generally expected to not be the main thread)

the danger with unitask is in doing worker tasks on the main thread, those should be avoided

[trail cloak]

Hello there, our Unity Game always shows unity crash handler when calling Application.Quit(), and it is always very slow to exit (In standalone build), it's there something we need to manually dispose before calling the method?

Calling Application.Quit() two time reduces the overall time for closing the application, but the crash handler persist.

We are using IL2CPP

Unity version is 2021.3.5 f1 LTS

[undone coral]

it sounds like you have a real exception

you should not be doing anything in OnApplicationQuit

[trail cloak]

I didn't

[undone coral]

then it soundsl ike one of your libraries is making a real exception

[trail cloak]

Librarys....

Steam SDK?

[undone coral]

have you looked at the report that crash handler is generating?

🤦‍♂️

[trail cloak]

The thing is, the Dialog with your game icon and red "!" shows, but there is not follow up window(the one that shows that actual crash info)

Let me check the log

[undone coral]

okay

i think you can googl ehow to find the exception it is throwing

you can also disable fast exceptions in il2cpp

and maybe see it that way

you can also build for mono - it will probably reproduce in mono, and you can easily see the issue with the debugger

it has nothing to do with libraries or whatever

you just have a bug in your code

[trail cloak]

Is there a way just "KILL" the whole game process?

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();

Just froze the game

[undone coral]

what is your objective?

you used the word "just" so you are in trouble

is this your project? someone else's project?

[trail cloak]

This is my product... when I call application.quit() all i want is to kill the game

TMP raise the exception....

I see

[undone coral]

you should build to mono

a development mono build

and see the line numbers

you have a lot of bugs

[trail cloak]

What do you mean by bugs

[undone coral]

hmm

[trail cloak]

I mean, I understand the bug definition

Is there a way to close the game no matter what exception it raises?

[undone coral]

yes

[undone coral]

Process.GetCurrentProcess().Kill();

[trail cloak]

I tried that, in mono this line close the game perfectly, but in IL2CPP it just froze the game

[undone coral]

so...

what can we conclude?

[trail cloak]

Is there another way?

Guess I have to deal with the exceptions

[undone coral]

lol

[trail cloak]

I have addressed the exception... by setting up a huge try catch block

And the issue persists....

[frozen imp]

@trail cloak Don't post off-topic images

[icy aspen]

how can i get a float to change from 0 to 1 in 2 seconds

[fresh salmon]

0 to 1 in 2 seconds means : 0.5 per second
So t += Time.deltaTime * 0.5

Also don't cross-post + not an advanced code issue

[icy aspen]

how can i set starttime to time.time

[fresh salmon]

convert?

[icy aspen]

oh sry change

[fresh salmon]

They said "set", so it's an assignment

float startTime = Time.time

[icy aspen]

set

oh

can clamp01 also be clamp03?

@hidden edge

[fresh salmon]

No

[icy aspen]

oh

[fresh salmon]

You need Clamp(n, 0, 3)

[icy aspen]

ok

[fresh salmon]

More generally the formula to go from n to m in x seconds would be Clamp((m - n) / x, m, n)

In code that would be
Set start to n
Set speed to (m - n) / x
Increment start by speed until start equals m

[flint wraith]

just quick question if anybody did it, how to show list of Interface in inspector?
tried seriealizeReference but doesnt really work or i dont understand
Will try and dive into custom inspector as seems best choice but I also heard about GIT serializers as free version of odin
So if anybody did it, how?

[rich storm]

Not sure where to put this, I have a click and drag puzzle game, I have this code where I click and drag an object to place it. The issue is SOMETIMES clicking on one of the pieces doesn't work. Meaning a piece can't be clicked on at all. it's a prefab and the other 2 pieces can be dragged. I put Debug.Log into the OnMouseDown even and the piece that cannot be dragged does not register the OnMouseDown event. The prefab has a polygon collider 2D. It starts at a random rotation of a factor of 60 degrees, but pieces have been unclickable at different rotations. I'm not sure what else would make clicking not register

[quartz stratus]

When you encounter a piece that is unclickable, have you tried going into scene view while the game is running and investigating whether anything is in front of the object on the Z axis that could be blocking your click?

To be honest, instead of debugging this, it might just be faster and easier to replace your usage of OnMouseDown with a MonoBehaviour implementing IPointerClickHandler (and associated interfaces). Those are just going to be more reliable in general.

[rich storm]

Z is always 0, there are not multiple on top of each other either, the clickable object is the only one with a collider

[quartz stratus]

Yeah, without any visibility into your project, there's no way to tell what's going on. A lot of things come to mind as potential causes though. Is the collider and the object that is moving on the same GameObject? Is there some discrepancy there? Do you have a graphics raycaster 2D? Which Input System are you using? But again, if I were tackling this, I'd just use the EventSystem interfaces since they literally give you dragging functionality on a silver platter.

[rich storm]

Ill look into the Ipointer stuff and see if that fixes it. Thanks

[quartz stratus]

Good luck! I hope it does. There should be a plethora of examples of those interfaces available online but lmk if you run into any issues.

[flint wraith]

See what else you have on that item, you might have icon or other object or something with raycast on

in that case raycast can not come down to the object

for example if you have image, some icon on inventory cell, icon will block it

[rich storm]

I only use a raycast to place the object onto its slot

Im dropping the pieces onto a board

[flint wraith]

well yeah but does that happen when you place object on board?

when you drop it

[rich storm]

No i cant pick it up at all

It only happens on the initial attempt to pick it up

[flint wraith]

what do you mean

problem is only on first try?

or works only when you first time pick it up

[rich storm]

Either you can pick it up or not

[flint wraith]

well cant help like this, but consider that problem, maybe you have something blocking the object

mousedown still uses raycast to handle things

[regal olive]

Can anyone help me? Im trying to add a force to a ragdoll and everything works. No errors or anything it just refuses to add any force of any kind. Losing my mind over this. (is kinematic is off too)

[torn basalt]

Hey, I am creating a square shape mesh from points on a wall. Everything works as far as creating the mesh goes but for some reason when I create the mesh and add a collider it adds it in the wrong place. Upon investigation, I found that the pivot of the Mesh I had generated was at Vector3.zero while the mesh was where I placed the points. Am I missing something

[dense aspen]

why are defining a function in another function

that's possible?

[regal olive]

I added that method for organization purposes

[dense aspen]

@regal olive try putting debug.logs everywhere

[torn basalt]

HAve you tried without that nested method?

[dense aspen]

see if the logic is even executing

[torn basalt]

or maybe AddForce At Position?

[regal olive]

Both without the method, every force type, and have determined the issue to be the hit body part just not accessing the rigid body

though it should

I just get no errors and the debug lines play. Its just refusing to add the force. It has to be accesssing it from the reason Im not even getting a object reference error

[torn basalt]

what if you wrap like this

if(TryGetComponent(out EnemyTrigger eTrigger))
{
  Rigidbody rb = enemy.GetComponent<RigidBody>();

  AddFrorce(rb);
}
else
{
  Debug.Log("Enemy Not Found");

}


void AddForce(Rigidbody enemyRB)
{
  rb..AddForce(transform.forward * fireForce);

}

Can someone who is experienced with unity and confident in their abilities please send me a DM... I have a huge question that has been really stuck on my mind and it would probably be simple for you to explain ❤️

[brisk pasture]

if you want help with things you should ask publicly what it is. will expose it to more people that could possibly help

and its not putting someone on the hook

[main fern]

I tried in the beginner channel but no one knew and I don't want to bother advanced with something so simple D:

but I can if you think that would be okay?

okies well, I just want to know if it's possible to translate the language of an asset into english. I want to use a set of scripted assets in unity but it's in a language I can't read

Is there an easy way to implement a copy constructor for a custom struct?

The websites I've found are quite hard to read... terrible formatting

[jolly token]

What is your goal? For deep copy?

[pliant crest]

does deep copy even make sense for structs?

[glass hill]

Shallow copy. Or does it already shallow copy?

Err, no, deep copy

I misunderstood

[pliant crest]

structs always copy

you can't pass them by reference

they are values by nature

unless for some weird reason you have a reference in your struct

[small latch]

ref and in want to know your location.

[glass hill]

That's good to know

[main fern]

well thanks for all the help. time to use google. lol

[pliant crest]

thats fair - let me rephrase

you shouldn't pass them by reference (normally)

[lyric dragon]

Hello Unity devs!
I want to create an app that is going to work on background with only exception that a small icon will appear on the desktop/menu.
The idea is to create a bot who can talk to you like on a phone call, all you see is your regular desktop/menu, which is usable despite app running, and an icon that indicates that the app is running.

My question is, is it possible to do it using Unity?
If yes, could you please guide me on that?
How can I describe this in a few words so that I can google things myself? (instead of typing the whole story to the search bar)

I am open to any other ways of doing it, not limited to Unity.

[split folio]

@lyric dragon i think its a better option to do it in another way
Dont think unity is the best choice for that

[lyric dragon]

Do you have any ideas how can I do that?
And also, why is unity not the best choice?

[flint wraith]

Unity is designed to render graphics and work on its own on device. Your app would require lots of plugins so majority of code would still be some form of java (if android).

Learn android studio (kotlin) with android API would be best option. iOS has its own version of swift i think.

[winter yacht]

Have a look at how to create a Windows service. They can run in the background and respond to requests from e.g. an icon in the taskbar.

[flint wraith]

Shit i thought talk was about mobile app :D, same applies.

[lyric dragon]

So, what you want to say is that there is no possible way of doing that in Unity?

[gusty tusk]

Hi, anyone know if cache-ing and reusing NativeArray with Allocator.Persistent and destroying OnDestroy is better than creating a Allocator.Temp Native array and disposing it every frame?

[flint wraith]

It is possible, for sure, but i think lots of it would be system API which requires for you to use some libraries or use your own.
I cant say how hard it would be, you need to do your own research but if its background app without much UI
Iam sure it would be easier to do C# application.

[lyric dragon]

Thanks @flint wraith, I am going to take a deeper look at it
I just wanted to know if anyone did this before, if yes, what is the easiest/fastest way of doing it

You saying that it is possible gives a motivation to go in that direction somehow, appreciate it

[trail cloak]

After look into the dump file, we found out that the crash happens on the C++ side (IL2CPP VM)

which is inside the Thread.cpp file under 2021.3.5f1c1\Editor\Data\il2cpp\libil2cpp\vm

Change line 255 into exit(0); makes the game shutdown normally

[icy aspen]

@fresh salmon I'm a bit confused, im not very familiar with the clamp function

i want it to go from 0 to 3 in 1 second

[fresh salmon]

Clamp returns the clamped value

[icy aspen]

ok

[fresh salmon]

Mathf.Clamp(5, 0, 3) would return 3 because 5 > 3

[icy aspen]

alright, so then what is wrong with my cod

e

[fresh salmon]

You don't use the return value Clamp returns

[icy aspen]

like this?

[fresh salmon]

What's inside the clamp is also wrong though

The speed, which is (m - n) / x itself, should only be computed once

Before you start moving / looping

[icy aspen]

hmm i see

[icy aspen]

what about this

[fresh salmon]

Nope, the speed calculation makes no sense inside the clamp

Do it once, in Start or whatever

[gray arch]

I have a question! Its not about a specific snipped of code, its more of a general concept that I would like to understand.
I would like to understand how to apply object oriented programming to unity. But I am not sure how to do it really?
Lets assume I want to create a class for playable characters. A character consists of more than just one script. My current prefabs for characters contains several scripts and components: health, melee combat, special skills, rigidbody, and so on.

How do I utilize object oriented programming in Unity for characters? or in general even

[fresh salmon]

Then when you loop, increment the value of start like how you're doing right now, and clamp the result of that

[icy aspen]

then what should i clamp?

[fresh salmon]

I just said what to clamp lol

The result of the increment

[icy aspen]

yeah but what is it in code

is it just start

[fresh salmon]

Mate this is #archived-code-advanced

Trying, debugging is more than expected here

[icy aspen]

bro i think im not advanced enough for my code

[fresh salmon]

Increment start by speed.
Clamp start so it stays between n and m

start, m, n, speed are all computed once. Then you only change the value of start

[icy aspen]

this shoud be fine right?

[fresh salmon]

No

Assign the result of Clamp back to start

Then you'll see that start will gradually go from m to n

[icy aspen]

ok but then, i have my variable slowSpeed which is the actual speed then, what should i assign for this variable?

or should it just be start

[fresh salmon]

Yeah that would be start, that's now badly named because after the first iteration it's not a start value anymore

Name it value or progress or anything else that makes sense

[icy aspen]

yeah ok

this is my final code now, but when i run it, start stays 0

[fresh salmon]

Yeah you're not reading what I write

[icy aspen]

oh it should go from m to n

[fresh salmon]

speed = (n - m) / x
Where m is start value, n end value, x the number of seconds to cover that distance

[fresh salmon]

Swap m, n in the speed calculation

You have it bacwards

And same thing for inside the Clamp, backwards too

[icy aspen]

is it correct that the clamp function to declare start should be in update?

[fresh salmon]

Yes, that's what prevents your value to go below m or above n

[icy aspen]

the problem im having now is that its not working

[fresh salmon]

And then rename to make the variables clearer on what they are

start => value
m => start
n => end
x => time

[dapper nest]

My goal here is to detect when player is touching a wall, without using oncollision events. I'm using a slightly bigger sphere than the radius of capsule collider and checking with spherecastall. Now, the strange thing is that it detects as it should, meaning when I get up close to a wall, it successfully finds the colliders of the walls as I can print out the name of the object that collider is on. The problem however, is that all raycasthit results has both a position of (0, 0, 0) and a normal value pointing straight up, even if the object is rotated. The code is nothing special, each and every debug print says that the point of hit is (0,0,0)

[sly grove]

What you're describing is literally documented behavior. Read the docs.

I would like to repeat my question from earlier today because I got no answer yet
I have a question! Its not about a specific snipped of code, its more of a general concept that I would like to understand.
I would like to understand how to apply object oriented programming to unity. But I am not sure how to do it really?
Lets assume I want to create a class for playable characters. A character consists of more than just one script. My current prefabs for characters contains several scripts and components: health, melee combat, special skills, rigidbody, and so on.

How do I utilize object oriented programming in Unity for characters? or in general even

[sly grove]

sounds like you're already doing it correctly

[gray arch]

am I ?
I assumed if I want to use object oriented programming I would need to make something like a common character class and develop it further from there

[jolly token]

You don’t have to. Composition is preferred over inheritance

[sly grove]

Polymorphism is only one aspect of OOP

It is not the only, nor the most important aspect of it.

Not sure why people equate OOP with polymorphism

The main features are organization of data into objects which have data and behavior associated with them, encapsulation, and the single responsibility principle

[gray arch]

So in case of unity or game development in general, it is not adviced to follow coding principles blindly?

[jolly token]

It is never advised to follow coding principles blindly in any development. You do not need more abstraction than you need, you do not have to force your code to fit specific pattern. Programmers need to understand principles and patterns, then apply appropriately.

[gray arch]

I see, thank you for the advice
I thought it might be the next step in which direction I could improve my code. I noticed yesterday that I use if and for loops for the most part, like a wall of it

That made me think to maybe consider preparing a list of functions somewhere in a common class and then use those

[midnight venture]

Principles also change and evolve and some ”generic best practices” are often pretty idealistic

Like inheritance and polymorphism used to be solution to everything looong time ago and nowadays everything is gazillion stages of abstraction, minimal classes and dependency injection… and the inheritance and polymorphism based design is almost frowned upon

[bleak marsh]

Hey, how I can make Unity actually use the .used property of the event?
So that in the PointerClickHandler I can decide to ignore a specific event?

I've tried everything I could think of and even looked into the source code for the package and it looks like it's not used at all

[jolly token]

It is depends on your case, you can implement interface instead of base class if you want to make your code less coupled. Then you could do something like GetComponent<IDamagable>() or GetComponents<ISkill>(). Not sure what kind of ifs and loops you are having, though.

interfaces are still not a silver bullet, but good tool to implement things with minimum coupling

[obsidian glade]

call .Use()?

[bleak marsh]

Nope, even if I don't call it, the event is stopped

[dusk plaza]

On this screenshot, I've taken a bunch of triangles on my mesh that matches certain criteria.
From said triangles, I've extracted it's normal.

Out of the infinite rotations the Red (X) and Blue (Z) lines can be, how do I determine the one where the red line more closely points to the global right?
The triangles can also be perfectly vertical, in which case the red line can never point to the right, in which case I want it to point upwards

How do I even go about doing this? Currently I make the red line point to 'the rightmost point of the triangle'

[sly grove]

So you want to go from:
three vertices of a triangle
to
a rotation wherein the "up" direction points towards the triangle's normal, and the "right" direction points along the global x axis as closely as possible?

[dusk plaza]

exactly

[jolly token]

Do you mean you want to let event to bubble up?

[sly grove]

I think something like this should work?

Plane p = new Plane(p0, p1, p2); // plane from triangle points.
Vector3 normal = p.normal; // grab the normal
Quaternion q = Quaternion.identity; // x / y / z all aligned with world axes
Quaternion result = q * Quaternion.FromToRotation(Vector3.up, normal);```

[bleak marsh]

Not exactly bubble up, but I would love for it to be ignored by the object and be passed to a next one in the line

as if it was never handled

[jolly token]

You might want to disable raycast target itself

[bleak marsh]

But then the object won't get the event

[jolly token]

Turn it on only when you need it?

[dusk plaza]

Seems to work perfectly for what I need, thanks

[bleak marsh]

I basically want to:

public void OnPointerClick(PointerEventData eventData)
{
  if (... some condition ...)
  {
    ...
    eventData.Use();
  }
}

[jolly token]

Ik, but your situation is more about what object the raycaster hit, than propagating event

Even if you 'ignore' the event, it only will bubble up, not finding another raycast target

[bleak marsh]

Exactly, what I would want is for the event system to take a second item on the list of hit objects and to send the event to it

[jolly token]

So your option is disable raycast target or playing with raycaster's blocking mask

Or creating own event

[bleak marsh]

But I cannot do that from within the event itself

[jolly token]

You cannot do much if event is already fired for the target

[bleak marsh]

What I want exactly is to have a TMP text with links

If the link is hit, do stuff. If not, click element behind the text

But it's not possible as I would have to have the collider on the TMP text itself and then when the click happens I can check if the mouse is over the link

[jolly token]

You could make TMP child of the object behind the text

[bleak marsh]

Okay, but then how do I propagate the click up?

[jolly token]

I remember doing it with SendMessageUpwards

[bleak marsh]

Okay... ewwwwwwww

[jolly token]

But maybe there is some more improvement on that with event system

Yeah ik, ew

[bleak marsh]

I would rather GetComponentInParent than SendMessageUpwards

[jolly token]

Maybe see this https://docs.unity3d.com/2018.4/Documentation/ScriptReference/EventSystems.ExecuteEvents.ExecuteHierarchy.html

Something like this should do it
ExecuteEvents.ExecuteHierarchy(transform.parent.gameObject, eventData, ExecuteEvents.pointerClickHandler);

[bleak marsh]

Yeah, that sounds native

Okay, there is a sort of issue with this approach

It will work for this case tho

But if I have this:

Where Red is a child of Blue

I cannot differentiate between clicking both and clicking only red

But in this case it's fine

[jolly token]

Yeaah. That case is more complex

[bleak marsh]

Still, the lack of robustness of this system is astonishingly bad

[jolly token]

I remember implementing somewhat similar thing to that case with CalculateRelativeRectTransformBounds/RectangleContainsScreenPoint , but it does make things complicated

[bleak marsh]

It's annoying because the logic for it is not that hard when done in the system itself

Standalone Input Module already gets a sorter list of hits

So it should be as simple as
"Send event, if not consumed repeat for next object from the list"

[arctic lake]

Which one runs faster for speech recognition, PhraseRecognizer or DictationRecognizer

I'm talking about for simply wanting to pick up on 8 keywords

I'd imagine PhraseRecognizer is faster for that right

[bleak marsh]

(And I think Godot has it, so no pressure... but)

[jolly token]

Sadly I also doubt that Unity team monitor this discord 😂

[bleak marsh]

They should, at least from time to time. It would point them at annoying details of the engine that turn it from a good engine into a fricking trap

[undone coral]

unfortunately that is not implemented in ugui

you can extend it yourself and call .Use() and check used on the base event data in your scripts

you can also create an extension method for BaseEventData called PreventDefault() that un-uses, and in your event system subclass, always call Use()

[bleak marsh]

The issue is that I would have to write an input module for the event system from scratch

[undone coral]

you can extend an existing one

why from scratch

[bleak marsh]

Well, not from scratch fully. As I can copy paste code

But I don't think I can just override

[clear wedge]

Hey y'all - I'm trying to do a WebGL build of my game, and I have a bunch of code that wouldn't ever work in WebGL. I have all of it inside

#if !UNITY_WEBGL
using Evil.DesktopOnly.Code;
// .. use evil desktop only code
#endif

but when I make a WebGL build, Unity still tries to compile all the code from the Evil.DesktopOnly.Code; namespace.
The build works fine if I literally remove the folder from my Unity project.

Any ideas on how to prevent the compiler from reading that directory when I'm making a WebGL build?

[compact ingot]

Maybe negate that #if condition?

[clear wedge]

sorry, bad example - it is negated in my real code 😅

[jolly token]

I think it's more about assembly reference?

Your code is not compiled by each namespace. It's compiled by each assembly.

[clear wedge]

aha, those words are enough for me to google from. thanks 🙏

[jolly token]

Yeah if you have asmdef for your desktop code, you can simply include/exclude platform from the inspector

Hey ı just wanna ask how to ı make this splines and real-time texture painting in game like army commader referance : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AO6TSes_0U

[jolly token]

Not sure if that is "real-time texture painting". Do you want something like this?
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/particles-effects/shapes-173167

[whole quest]

how do ı use this asset for army commender splines and texturce changing in real time

[jolly token]

You need to be more specific what part of that game you are referring as "splines" and "texture changing"
All I see is some vector graphic drawn on top of floor mesh

[whole quest]

Sorry I am not native speaker

[jolly token]

Me neither

[whole quest]

in enemy section you can see there is some changes based on where are the enemies are

enemy area growing or decreasing

ı want this in my game basicly

[whole quest]

i think this is it

[jolly token]

Yeah with the asset I referenced, you can make vector graphic with your preferred position, shape and rounding

You can simply draw on top of floor, you don't have to change texture

[whole quest]

oh ı see

is there a tutorial for this

ı watched the assets videos and some videos on youtube but i cant find anything about my problem

[jolly token]

They have documentation, https://acegikmo.com/shapes/docs/
Basically the game is making vector graphic with the area enemy is occupying
So you would want to create polygon with that

Or polyline, whatever shape you are thinking

[whole quest]

i see bro

thank you so much for your help

Does anyone know off-hand what unity does in terms of automatic management of textures on the GPU? Do I need to manage this myself by creating/destroying texture objects as-needed, or is this kind of taken care of in the background and I can just worry about CPU memory constraints?

For context, I'm working on a tile streaming system in which a practically unbounded number of textures might be created, but of course only a limited number are required at any given time.

        public bool inProcess  = false;


        private void Press()
        {
          
            if (!IsActive() || !IsInteractable())
                return;
            

            UISystemProfilerApi.AddMarker("Button.onClick", this);
            m_OnClick.Invoke();
        }```

Hello this is Unity's own Button component.

I want to make the Button deactivated when it is clicked and it will wait for event response to be enabled again.

interestingly, I can not reference inProcess attribute in the Press function. it does not show up.

Do you have any idea why?

[devout hare]

Can't reference how and doesn't show up where?

[mint sleet]

@devout hare

[devout hare]

What does it say if you type it anyway?

[mint sleet]

just it leaves it white text.

[devout hare]

but what's the error message

[devout hare]

is this a coding question or editor configuration issue?

[mint sleet]

let me compile

coding question.

[devout hare]

I mean it has to be valid anyway, like inProcess = false;

[mint sleet]

No error at all

it just compiled ???

[devout hare]

so editor configuration issue then

[mint sleet]

hmm what should I do?

[devout hare]

configure the editor ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mint sleet]

🙂 ok let me google it. have not done it before. Thanks

[random dust]

How about this.inProcess?

What if you rename to _inProcess?

Restarting Unity? 🤔

[mint sleet]

No there is another issue do not know why

I can not even extend with my custom interfaces. @random dust

is the Button protected or something?

[tawny bear]

Are you trying to change the base Button class of Unity?

If you're I'd really not do that, and just make a class that extends button

ButtonExtended : Button

[mint sleet]

Yes, I'm doing this. I realized after I thought a bit.

how can I override the interactable property then?

@tawny bear

[tawny bear]

Can't you just do an override of the original function in the inherited class?

Without taking the base

[mint sleet]

Ive discussed it with my collogue. Decided to sticik with very basic solution. We will use Actions.

Thanks Wumpie

[tawny bear]

I'm not sure how this solves your problem

[onyx blade]

I'm getting an error related to MagicLeap in my cdoe when building my AR application. Autoconnected Player "Autoconnected Player" A scripted object (probably UnityEngine.XR.MagicLeap.MagicLeapSettings?) has a different serialization layout when loading. (Read 52 bytes but expected 76 bytes) Did you #ifdef UNITY_EDITOR a section of your serialized properties in any of your scripts?
Can I remove this framework without breaking the rest of AR Foundation (either ARCORE and ARFOUNDATION)

[tawny bear]

I'm also not sure what your problem even is kek

Did you #ifdef UNITY_EDITOR a section of your serialized properties in any of your scripts?
Did you?

[onyx blade]

I cant find a single instance where I have.

ran a search operation over the entire project, im inclined to think its MagicLeap causing this. I do however find that extremely unlikely to believe

[tawny bear]

probably UnityEngine.XR.MagicLeap.MagicLeapSettings?
Check this object

Or thing

Not sure what it is

[onyx blade]

its part of the AR feature in unity

[tawny bear]

Try to disable it and test it again?

If that doesn't break stuff

[onyx blade]

how do you disable a package that is part of a feature?

I couldn't find that

[mint sleet]

       private Button _button; 
        void Start()
        {
            _button = GetComponent<Button>();
            _button.onClick.AddListener(Deactivate);
        }

        private void Deactivate()
        {
            _button.interactable=false;
        }
    }```

And I send the button from my trigger class. when the API request is done. it just enables the attribute

Sometimes must think basic.

[random dust]

What happends when you try to access that interface's definition?

Does it just not load?

I would assume it's internal at best

[mint sleet]

it did not load, I'm mixed up why

[tawny bear]

You should unsubscribe the Action as well

       private Button _button; 
        void Start()
        {
            _button = GetComponent<Button>();
            _button.onClick.AddListener(Deactivate);
        }

        private void Deactivate()
        {
            _button.interactable=false;
            _button.onClick.RemoveListener(Deactivate);
        }
    }

@mint sleet

This assumes you won't need to reuse it again though

Otherwise yeet it in the ondisable

Also, @mint sleet you can make an extension method for buttons

It saves it back to the original prefab?

[broken hare]

Hi guys, I am having a bad issue and i don't really have how to solve it.
Basically I'm trying to retrieve some api requests on my game and on the editor it perfectly works, the problem is that in each builds of my game (iOS, Android, WEBGL) the raw json body of my request is encrypted not letting the api work as intended, do you have any clues on what is happening or any experiences on how to fix it?
Please let me know, thank you in advance

[jolly token]

You are literally trying to edit readonly IL code… which is just decompiled from Unity assembly for debug purpose only. It’s not about basic or advanced, you are not supposed to edit standard library code anyways.

[jolly token]

What do you mean “encrypted”, did you try to log the response json and errors?

[broken hare]

Thanks for the response but I fixed it.
It was an obuscator that i installed that for some reason decide to encrypt also the API call i just tun off the obfuscator

[rugged ether]

This might be more of a maths question, but maybe someone can help.
I have a Grid and want to convert any Vector3 to the exact Vector3 world position of the cell.
Currently, I simply just do CellToWorld(WorldToCell(vector)), but I can't help but think there might be a smarter way or a function I'm missing lol

[abstract folio]

If you were to write that call out (meaning copy paste the contents of those two functions together so they would do that in a single function) - I suspect you will see some steps that can be "canceled-out".

Question: In this constructor: public Texture2D(int width, int height, TextureFormat textureFormat = TextureFormat.RGBA32, bool mipChain = true, bool linear = false); what exactly does the mipChain parameter do? Is it creating mip-maps for this texture? When does that happen, is it every time I do texture.Apply()?

[fervent parcel]

I dont know if anyone noticed that EditorGUI.changecheck does not catch mass populating arrays/lists in 2021+
so Instead you can use this:

I actually wrote this in 2020, so needs to be tested in 2021 😄

Tested it in 2021, it works!

[undone coral]

hey it's glurth

i think it's platform specific

is there a CreateMipMaps method in unity?
