Cursor lock and camera issue

[worn bane]

Did this thread work?

[wary crystal]

Hello

Thread

No other scripts with cursor nah

[worn bane]

@distant parrot we made a thread

[worn bane]

So if I am understanding correctly, you can still see your cursor even though you set it to hidden or whatever?

[wary crystal]

now my camera is starting way way above the position I am setting it to

[wary crystal]

it isn't hidden nor is it locked so yeah I can move it and it's visible rn

[worn bane]

Are you sure your script is getting called?

And did you try it in build, not editor as well?

[wary crystal]

I am pretty sure as I can move the camera with my mouse now

and yeah trying it in game

[worn bane]

Build, not editor play mode, right?

[wary crystal]

this?

[worn bane]

No

[wary crystal]

oh

then no

what is build

[distant parrot]

export

I said it already

[wary crystal]

where do I do that?

[distant parrot]

File > Build Setting

[worn bane]

Go to edit-> build settings-> build and run

File, not edit I guess

[distant parrot]

i dont even remember tbh

[wary crystal]

mouse still moving

and visible

[distant parrot]

can you put a Debug.Log in start

[worn bane]

Wow, that was a quick build

[distant parrot]

see if it runs

[worn bane]

I have to go, sorry

[wary crystal]

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

public class MoveCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraPosition;

    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = cameraPosition.position;
    }
}

I don't think this script is working

the position is not being updated

is it because the void update isn't private?

idk

[wary crystal]

what do you mean by this?

I built and ran it if that's what you mean

[distant parrot]

    private void start()
    {
        Debug.Log("BingBong");
        Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked;
        Cursor.visible = false;
    }```

wait

wait

[wary crystal]

ah

[distant parrot]

wtf

[wary crystal]

the script

I got ya

[distant parrot]

you IDE

goddamit

no

stop

everyting

[wary crystal]

??

I am listening

100% attention

[distant parrot]

start

is wrong

[wary crystal]

??

[distant parrot]

goddam it configure ur visual studio

tell me if you see a difference

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.Start.html

[wary crystal]

configure?

[distant parrot]

yes !ide

[fading shuttle]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

• VS Code*
• JetBrains Rider
• Other/None

*VS Code's debugger plugin is unsupported.
We recommend using VS or Rider instead.

[distant parrot]

I should've noticed earlier but Im friyed

xD

[wary crystal]

ok followed

what did that do/

[wary crystal]

I don't notice any difference

[distant parrot]

doubt

show me its configured

[distant parrot]

you really don't ?

[wary crystal]

I mean

I will check again

[worn bane]

S vs. s

[distant parrot]

ok good ur half way there,

did u select it in unity as editor

and restart VS

[wary crystal]

Oh hey perfect

The mouse is gone!

thanks lads

got another issue now if ya got the time tho haha

[distant parrot]

hey listen if the IDE(VS) was configured it would've def alerted you

so for sure configure it , as it is also the rules

c# is case sensitive

[wary crystal]

I just did

maybe i should follow the other one

[distant parrot]

maybe , show it

open script from unity

let it load

screenshot

[wary crystal]

Yeah it aint showing the error

I followed the 2nd option but I'll try the first

[distant parrot]

wdym second option

you have VS2019 yes?

did you do this part

[wary crystal]

Yeah I am on there I got either Visual Studio 2019 or Visual Studio Code

[worn bane]

I used to use vscode, and it never worked, but then I switched to just plain vs, and everything did fine

[wary crystal]

maybe that's the issue

I am pretty sure I'm on code

Yep it shows them!

Thanks lads

Can I make it black?

[distant parrot]

tools > theme

not sure if it still like that in 2019

[wary crystal]

oh

My 30 day trial has run out

I canny use this

[distant parrot]

dude

use Community

its free

[worn bane]

Yay! I helped someone!

[wary crystal]

community?

[distant parrot]

https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/vs/community/

[worn bane]

Free version

[wary crystal]

I like free

[distant parrot]

indeed, you likely downloaded enterprise trial

[wary crystal]

Got it

Thank you

[distant parrot]

[worn bane]

What. On earth. Is that?

[wary crystal]

catto

[distant parrot]

it's catto!

[wary crystal]

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

public class MoveCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraPosition;

    private void Update()
    {
        transform.position = cameraPosition.position;
    }
}

Why does this not work?

[worn bane]

It looks like a cat with a broken smile and Christmas lights on it's cheeks

[wary crystal]

Any ideas?

I do not fathom

[distant parrot]

what you mean "doesn't work"

[wary crystal]

Wait

good question

The code is running

my print("Big Balls"); worked

The position is not being changed

[worn bane]

What!?

[wary crystal]

I printed Big Balls

to test if it worked

it does

[worn bane]

What!?

[wary crystal]

😦

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

public class MoveCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraPosition;

    private void Update()
    {
        print("Big Balls");
        transform.position = cameraPosition.position;
    }
}

Big Balls

[distant parrot]

so what "doesnt work" mean

[wary crystal]

transform.position is not being set equal to cameraPosition.position

but what I don't get

where tf am I getting transofmr

transform

[distant parrot]

you checked in inspector if the xyz values change in camholder?

[wary crystal]

I know where I am getting transform

Their value did change

but

It's wrong

I don't understnad

It's like

ALMOST being moved correctly?

it is moving with the character

but has

some weirdass offset

[distant parrot]

show hierarchy

[distant parrot]

how did you check that the coordinate is off?

[wary crystal]

This is the camera's position

This is the CameraHolder's position

[worn bane]

Why do they both have camera gizmos?

[wary crystal]

oh the other one is the main camera

idk why it still exists

[distant parrot]

does it still happen if u start it with other script disabled

[wary crystal]

yes

the position is still off

so I guess the rotation isn't causing the issue

watch it be another capitalisation error

[worn bane]

You configured your IDE, so it shouldn't be a typo

[wary crystal]

ye

idfk tbh

I honestly don't see what's wrong haha

[worn bane]

But why that?

[wary crystal]

I wanted to see if the code was running

Or are you asking if there's a reason as to why I specifically used "Big Balls"

[worn bane]

Yes, that was the whole "What!?" thing

[wary crystal]

Oh

There was literally zero reason why I chose Big Balls

[worn bane]

Subconscious reason

[wary crystal]

I doubt it

Big Balls = funny

simple as that

[worn bane]

Your neurons fired in a way that made you type that

[wary crystal]

oh well

who cares haha

big balls funny

all there is to it really

[worn bane]

Ok, I think we drove off @distant parrot

[wary crystal]

possibly

I am entirely confused as to why my thing doesn't work

[worn bane]

Me too

[wary crystal]

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

public class MoveCamera : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform cameraPosition;

    private void Update()
    {
        print("Big Balls");
        transform.position = cameraPosition.position;
    }
}

it sets

transform.position of the thingy

to

the position of the position

[distant parrot]

huh?

[distant parrot]

I went throu the early 2000s

[worn bane]

Try saying this.transform.position = randomPos (note: this is pseudo code)

[wary crystal]

alright

[worn bane]

See if it works

[distant parrot]

this has no knowledge of position

position comes from transform

[wary crystal]

can I not use a Vector3?

or smthn

[worn bane]

Fixed

[wary crystal]

pos = new Vector3(x, y, z);

[distant parrot]

 private void LateUpdate()
    {

        transform.position = cameraPosition.position;
    }``` try

[worn bane]

Wait, can you even update transform.position directly?

[distant parrot]

yes

[worn bane]

It's been like a month or two since I actually used unity

[wary crystal]

Doesn't work

[worn bane]

This is odd

[distant parrot]

can you show the debug gizmos in playmode

[wary crystal]

This?

[worn bane]

Even I don't know what this refers to

But I feel like I should

[wary crystal]

What

[worn bane]

How do you make those show up in play mode?

[distant parrot]

 [SerializeField] Transform posToGo;

    void Update()
    {
        transform.position = posToGo.position;
    }```

[wary crystal]

what

I don't see GameObject thingy

[wary crystal]

I don't see that

[distant parrot]

wat

screenshot inspector

[wary crystal]

Where am I looking

Ah ok

I'm with you

I see it

[distant parrot]

ok

[wary crystal]

Wtf

WAIT

FUCK ME

maybe not

I was thinking

Either

Yeah

I am a silly sausage

Ok so the issue is

Ffs

[distant parrot]

the parent is offsetting child

[wary crystal]

yes?

the CameraHolder is moving as it should

but the camera inside of the PlayerCam isn't moving

no yes

literally exactly what you said

[distant parrot]

oh ok lol so it working now?

[wary crystal]

Yes

I set the position values of the camera to 0,0,0

so it was inside the parent

haha

thanks for the help man

I am not at all used to Unity yet

[distant parrot]

all good takes time at first

[wary crystal]

yep

I am good with Roblox Studio

but Unity is a different beast

[distant parrot]

roblox studio , cute

[wary crystal]

Yeah

Was where I started making games

I am proud of that

No harm in starting somewhere

Just another place to utilise creativity

[distant parrot]

nothing wrong wit it no

[wary crystal]

But it's definitely way more user friendly and less complex

[distant parrot]

code is pretty easy once you learn the components

all the functions are pretty much in the engine already

[wary crystal]

Yeah seems that way tbh will just take a hot minute to figure out what's where

[worn bane]

Does blender really have a game engine?

[distant parrot]

yup. always look through the docs

[worn bane]

Good thing we made a thread

[distant parrot]

its been a while since it did

[wary crystal]

uh

[worn bane]

They got rid of it?

[wary crystal]

so I attached my character controller script

[distant parrot]

dont think so no

[wary crystal]

and my character controller component

but uh

[worn bane]

Yes?

[wary crystal]

My bean is wildin'

[distant parrot]

are you following a tutorial or just doing stuff ?

[wary crystal]

https://gyazo.com/f600197f89ddcd27a8eb14e6cb036e9f

[worn bane]

What?

[distant parrot]

because you still do need fundamentals lol

[wary crystal]

haha

I'll figure it out lmao

I try to do my own research as much as possible

[distant parrot]

look into movement tutorials no

[wary crystal]

but I was so absolutely utterly stuck

I had to come to this discord

[worn bane]

I managed to learn C# through unity tutorials somehow, but I also knew python

[distant parrot]

Unity has specific c# methods yes

always good to learn the basics of c# itself too

[worn bane]

I did that after

[wary crystal]

It could be worth just working my way through all of the unity tutorials a few times before I continue

[distant parrot]

use the pathways on the site

they start slow but they give you good fundamentals

[wary crystal]

will be tomorrow's problems

[worn bane]

Unity learn?

[distant parrot]

check the pinned in #💻┃code-beginner as wel, they have decent older ones code wise

[worn bane]

I started that once, but knew everything it was saying, so stopped. Will finish sometime in the unspecified future

[distant parrot]

yes its for mostly those who never touched unity at all

[worn bane]

@wary crystal sorry, but I won't be accepting your friend request, nothing personal

What were we talking about again? Did all problems get fixed?

I've got to go, bye!

[wary crystal]

I do not care ❤️
