so i have to say Bar1=getcomponent<Bar1

[tight oyster]

done

[green galleon]

private Foo foo;

if(TryGetComponent(out foo)) // we already specified the type is Foo

if(TryGetComponent(out Foo2 foo2)) // we specify that Foo2 is what we want and store it in foo2 if found```

capilized letters are usually classes / methods

or at least should be

[tight oyster]

so if (trygetcomponent(out Bar1 bar1))?

[green galleon]

yes

but capitalization matters

[tight oyster]

gotcha

if (TryGetComponent(out Bar1 bar1) || TryGetComponent(out Bar2 bar2))
force++;
but i never use the bar1 or bar2 variables

[green galleon]

then you can put _

instead of a name

if (TryGetComponent(out Bar1 _ ) || TryGetComponent(out Bar2 _ ))

[tight oyster]

okk

it should work now

[green galleon]

yes

[tight oyster]

now the paddles rotate when touched, but it finally bounces, thanks!

[green galleon]

yay!

lock the paddle rigidbody Z

[tight oyster]

i have to freeze its y position right?

ok

[green galleon]

and freeeze X position

Y position is up and down

[tight oyster]

yeah my bad

i cannot lock y

i can only freeze y

[green galleon]

dont freeze y

freeze x

and z rot

[tight oyster]

right

now it works, ty man

[green galleon]

np!

[tight oyster]

next time, before doing something like this i'll study a bit through tutorials and stuff

[green galleon]

sure but even tutorials can lead you astray

everyone does things different

[tight oyster]

i don't want to spend 2 days making a pong game and, more important, i don't want to bother you for something basic

[green galleon]

nah its no bother, just keep practice eventually you get faster/better

and its all the same stuff you're using regardless of game

its not easy especially with english as second language 😛

I understand that believe me

[tight oyster]

yeah i watched a video and it said that "most of the stuff you are doing is just implementing something you know in a different way"

like a score and money

[green galleon]

very true

now you know about reflect

which is very powerful

esp when you start doing bullets or other more complex stuff

[tight oyster]

i am a b2/c1 in english, but it's still difficult to understand very technical and specific vocabulary that i don't even know in my own language

[tight oyster]

tyy

now i gtg

i should have started to study 3 hours ago

i have an english literature oral test tomorrow

[green galleon]

yes same ! the terminology is confusing at first but just keep googling words eventually it make sense

goodluck !

[tight oyster]

if i may ask, where are you from?

[green galleon]

my fam is actually from close to Naples

[tight oyster]

cool

can you send me a friend request? i cannot send you one, but if you don't want to is fine

[green galleon]

yeah sure np

[tight oyster]

bye

[green galleon]

take care
