#weird wheels
stark creek
it would probably be easier if I post the code, I removed some of the empty space and commented out code
not too complicated (yet lol)
willow lintel
not too complicated (yet lol)
vehicle > wheel collider > joint spring > damper
Is that how that code reads?
stark creek
vehicle > vehicle script > wheel collider > suspension spring (assuming this is joint spring based on the documentation) > damper / spring
willow lintel
and you can read the values fine right?
it only does the underline when you try setting it?
stark creek
correct
willow lintel
so weird
willow lintel
maybe try separating them
var a = harvester.GetComponent<vehicleController>();
var b = a.L1w;``` until we reach the end so we know where it breaksno it shouldn’t
if it’s the last one that breaks i’ll go crazy https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/JointSpring.html

im not following?

im not following?
I typed out the rest for you, which one does it underline?
var a = harvester.GetComponent<vehicleController>();
var b = a.L1w;
var c = b.suspensionSpring;
var d = c.spring = 10;```it pretty much separated that long line into a bunch of pieces so we’ll know exactly which one it’s complaining about
willow lintel
remove the var d = i accidentally added that, but i’m suprised it’s not complaining
willow lintel
but that was it
ok connect the last line to b to form var c = b.suspensionSpring.spring = 10;

stark creek
spain but the s is silent
I mean, this is just a debug code to begin with
so cleanliness isn't super important
do you think it would work if I just did it like this?
willow lintel
wth does it even return then
stark creek
.
stark creek
wth does it even return then
I got no clue
willow lintel
I got no clue
maybe try this, remove .spring

oh actually it’s just a normal thing: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/compiler-messages/cs1612
you need to break up that long line, it won’t let you modify it all on one line
willow lintel
here’s what it should look like
var jointSpring = harvester.GetComponent<vehicleController>().L1w.suspensionSpring;
jointSpring.spring = 10;
jointSpring.damper = fd;```seems a bit strange why c# wouldn’t let you modify it, but the reason in the doc doesn’t make that much sense to me but i’m sure there’s a reason
omg, i figured it out
JointSpring is a struct that’s why
I thought it was a class, that’s why i was so confused
stark creek
if you feel up to it, whats the difference?
willow lintel
this explains why it’s a big deal, and it wouldn’t have happened if it was a class instead of a struct
willow lintel
if you feel up to it, whats the difference?
Classes are reference objects, while structs are value objects
stark creek
so when I have everything prior to "suspensionSpring" that is a reference, but when I add the .spring or .damper to it everything before that is read as a copy of the value that its referencing?
so like, its trying to read a clone of the reference that doesn't exist
willow lintel
so when I have everything prior to "suspensionSpring" that is a reference, but w...
everything prior to suspension spring was a class/returned a class. suspensionSpring was a struct meaning it’s an value type object
willow lintel
if you feel up to it, whats the difference?
A struct you are used to is Vector3
Vector3 pos = transform.position;
pos.y = 100;```
If it were a class, assigning it gives a reference to it meaning it would mess with the objects position the instant i modify it. BUT since it’s a struct, i only get a copy of the valuesi guess the error is caused by it returning a struct, without copying it to a variable, and then forgetting all about it so when you try accessing variables off of it immediately off of getting it without saving it to a variable it forgot what object you were talking about
gahh i can’t type
willow lintel
yeah i gtg to bed
willow lintel
have a nice night
