[wraith spruce]

over here

[next frost]

Okay

You here?

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

Give me a sec to type I'm on mobile after all

[wraith spruce]

its ok

its 2:33am

gotta get the grind

what if i was to create 2 bools where 1 tests if mouse is down and the other tests if the button has been pressed

if the mouse was up then set the other bool to false

3 bools sorry

left bool right bool mouse bool

if left bool and mouse bool = true player move ect

[next frost]

Okay

I'll type fast

Sorry I was talking to someonne

[wraith spruce]

its ok

[next frost]

Public rigidbody2d rb;
Public float Speed;

//True Dir is right
//False Dir is left
MyMethod(bool IsMoving, bool Dir)
{
     if(IsMoving)
     {
          If(Dir)
          {
               rb.velocity = new Vector2(Speed, 0);
          }else
          {
               rb.velocity = new Vector2(-Speed, 0);
          }
     }else 
     {
          rb.velocity = new Vector2(0, 0)
     }
}

If you try to copy and paste that it will give errors becuase I miss spelt things

[wraith spruce]

er

[next frost]

Some variables are capitals where they shouldn't be

[wraith spruce]

do i just copy it

[next frost]

Dont

I can't use the Tab button on mobile

So I put spaces to make it more readable

Write what you see

Let me know when your done and send a screen shot so I can see if possible

It shouldn't take long to code. When you have your cursor in between things like {} just hit enter and it will put it where it where it should go.

[wraith spruce]

sorry theres a noise outside

sounds really bad

like a dying cat

[next frost]

Np

Did you get it typed or were you busy with the noise?

[wraith spruce]

nearly done

[next frost]

K

[wraith spruce]

what in the hell has happend

[next frost]

.

I didn't mean actually write exactly what I had

[wraith spruce]

oh

[next frost]

It's fine though

We can fix these

[wraith spruce]

then what was i supposed to do

ok

[next frost]

Let's start at the top

Public is public

No caps

[wraith spruce]

done

[next frost]

Send new screenshot

[next frost]

Now rigidbody2d

If you hit tab while writing the code it will put the highlighted word

That's what visual studio is for

It's to be faster

So remove the rigidbody2d rb

And start typing rig...

Then hit tab

You will see it autofill

[wraith spruce]

no

oh it did

[next frost]

Yea

[next frost]

I use it for almost every word

You will learn to use it a lot

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

It can MASSIVLY help

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

MyMethod is supposed to be that method you made a while ago

Not actually "MyMethod"

[wraith spruce]

what method

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

I would suggest calling it Move not move

If your going for that

[wraith spruce]

its PlayerMovement

[next frost]

Good

How are the errors looking?

[wraith spruce]

34

[next frost]

Can I see a picture?

[next frost]

Play so these are green indicating that these are classes

You did something wrong

Oh

you need "void"

That needs to be in front of playermovement

[wraith spruce]

ok

33 errors

[next frost]

You put a - in your code😆

[wraith spruce]

changed nothing

[next frost]

The If should be if

That's an if statement seeing if something is true or false

[wraith spruce]

even more errors

[next frost]

Send a picture

[next frost]

I need to see farther down too!

?

Not the messages

Ohhhh

[wraith spruce]

wrong one

[next frost]

void MyMethod()
{

}

You need those

That holds all that code in the method

[wraith spruce]

its all good now

[next frost]

Okay

Can I explain it to you?

[wraith spruce]

i get the rb.velocity stuff but everything else sure

[next frost]

The IsMoving will get set to true when we press the buttons

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

The if statement that is checking the IsMoving is checking to see if it's true

It's short for
if(IsMoving == true)

[wraith spruce]

oh ok

[next frost]

Then we check for the direction we will be moving by making a left/right bool

I just called that Dir

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

BTW that top info I changed to this in the message

Not positive and negative. I wrote the wrong thing😆

[wraith spruce]

i dont want the charator to move all the time

[next frost]

Ik

I'm not finished explaining

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

See that bottom else statement?

else statements are like saying "if the opposite happened do this"

[wraith spruce]

ye

[next frost]

So if we do

{
}
else
{
//This is what happens when it's not true in this case
}```

[wraith spruce]

ok i get that#

[next frost]

So then we will call this method and set that to be false when we release our finger from the screen

👍

Now to set up the buttons then we are done

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

Remember those components I said to add onto both buttons?

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

Well on each one get the "OnPointerDown" and "OnPointerUp"

Hit the + icon for those

[wraith spruce]

wtf

[next frost]

What?

[wraith spruce]

ah foud it

[next frost]

So you got both buttons all set up?

[wraith spruce]

yep

pointer up and down

[next frost]

What are your button names?

[wraith spruce]

left and right#

[next frost]

Okay

So add your script to your player

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

And attach the rigidbody to the rb

You can just drag the component to the slot

[wraith spruce]

doe

what should speed be

[next frost]

Make it 1 for now

[wraith spruce]

done

[next frost]

Now go to one of your buttons

[next frost]

Oh and change the comment to this if you havent

[wraith spruce]

change what now

[next frost]

Instead of
//Positive Dir is right
//Negative Dir is left

[wraith spruce]

oh ok

[next frost]

Positive and negative have nothing to do with this. I got those messed up with true and false

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

I typed the wrong thing basically

Okay so save that

Then go to your right button

Go to that component

Drag the Player gameobject into the gameobject slots for both pointer down and up

[wraith spruce]

wht gameobject

[next frost]

The player gameobject

Becuase the player gameobject is the one with the script 👌

[wraith spruce]

ah

what function

[next frost]

The function we made 🙂

[wraith spruce]

cant findit

[next frost]

Oh that's becuase it's private

And public in front of the void

When you just have void it's short for
private void

[wraith spruce]

cant find it

[next frost]

You need to put the public

[wraith spruce]

i did

[next frost]

Can you send a picture of the menu?

[wraith spruce]

public void PlayerMovement(bool IsMoving, bool Dir)

[next frost]

No the menu

From where you select

[wraith spruce]

i can see move but no playermovement

[next frost]

Okay

Send the menu before this

[next frost]

You selecting the move script of gameobejct?

[wraith spruce]

ye

[next frost]

Can you send a picture of the script and a picture of the component on the button?

That should be all I will need

[next frost]

Okay

Now the component?

Please

[wraith spruce]

what component

[next frost]

The component you added to the button

[next frost]

Is the Main Camera the player?

[wraith spruce]

no

[next frost]

Is it the gameobject with the script?

[wraith spruce]

main charactor is

i set it to main charator

[next frost]

Okay so it was a mistake?

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

It should be there now.

[wraith spruce]

it still wont show

[next frost]

Hmm

You might not be able to pass multiple peramiters through one button

So change the peramiters to only have int dir

You will get errors again

[wraith spruce]

is moving dosnt exist

[next frost]

Yes

[wraith spruce]

cannot change a int to a bool

[next frost]

Make the if(IsMoving)
if(dir != 0)

So change it to that

[wraith spruce]

still cant change an int to a bool

[next frost]

Let me see the code

[next frost]

Okay now change that Dir to Dir ==1

[wraith spruce]

fixewd

yay]

[next frost]

Okay now change that else below that to
Dir == 2

[wraith spruce]

i selected it

done

[next frost]

K

[wraith spruce]

says ; expected

[next frost]

So put ;

See where the red is?

It's expecting it there

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

Fixed?

[wraith spruce]

no

[next frost]

Oh no

You needed to change the else to an if

Then remove the ;

[wraith spruce]

fixed

[next frost]

Good, now lets change those comments again in the script

[wraith spruce]

ok

1 and 2

1 is right

2 is left

[next frost]

//0 = don't move, 1 = move right, 2 = move left

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

Good your understanding it!

Let's go to the components on each button and select the method

Do this for each field

[wraith spruce]

all the buttons are dont with the thing

[next frost]

?

Wdym?

Like 0?

[next frost]

Okay good!

So on pointer down on the right button make it 1

Then on the left button on the on pointer down make it 2

Then leave the on pointer ups to 0

[wraith spruce]

done

[next frost]

It should work!

Mobile and pc

[wraith spruce]

it moves when i click it

but not hold

[next frost]

Wdym?

[wraith spruce]

if i hold it it only goes forword 1 bit then stops

[next frost]

Okay

So this is probably your friction

Where you created your script now created a physics material 2d

[wraith spruce]

ok

[next frost]

And set the friction to 0

[wraith spruce]

where is it

[next frost]

Lol

I wondered the same thing my first time trying to get it

[wraith spruce]

lol

[next frost]

Send a picture of the menu

[next frost]

No when your trying to create it

[wraith spruce]

create what

[next frost]

The physics material 2d

[wraith spruce]

how do i get that

[next frost]

R8ght click that grey area where the script is

[wraith spruce]

yea

nothing happend

[next frost]

Down here

Them show me that menu

[next frost]

Create

Ohh you got the duel monitor display as well!

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

It's very useful for things like this

[wraith spruce]

yup

i used to have a laptop

[next frost]

Okay so when in create what options pop up?

[wraith spruce]

?

wdym

[next frost]

Click create

[wraith spruce]

i did

[next frost]

And it will pop up with a menu

Show me that menu

[next frost]

Okay it's in 2d

Top of the menu

Physics material 2d

[wraith spruce]

got it

stil dont work

[next frost]

Like you got the physics material 2d made?

[wraith spruce]

oh wai

im retard

it did work

i didnt put it on the player

it works

[next frost]

Assign it to the rigidbody 2d

[wraith spruce]

thank you soo much

[next frost]

Wait you did?

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

Yea np

Sorry that took so long

[wraith spruce]

u must have no life uve been helping me for hours

lol

aight have a good one and thx so much

[next frost]

Yea, glad I could help

You understand it all right?

[wraith spruce]

saved 30 times ☠️

i do

[next frost]

Good so if you put a wrong value you now what its doing now and you'll be able to fix it?

[wraith spruce]

yea

when the button is pressed it gives that value and the player detects fro that value and givs an output

[next frost]

Yes! It's checks to see what the value is

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

Then based off that it will act

Just don't set it to things like 4 or 5

[wraith spruce]

yea

[next frost]

It might cause problems

[wraith spruce]

ill add a jump later

[next frost]

If you want, we can make a debug for that

So it doesn't cause errors

[wraith spruce]

not right now im gonna sleep

[next frost]

Okay

[wraith spruce]

tmr?

[next frost]

Gn glad I could help!

[wraith spruce]

what timezone are you so i know when
