Does this work aswell?

if (gameManager != null)
{
    if (gameManager.GameIsPaused)
    {
        UpdateCursorLockState(CursorLockState.Confined);
    }
    else
    {
        UpdateCursorLockState(CursorLockState.Locked);
    }
}

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

eh nested if statements

#

but sure

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:31 PM

#

xD

#

It's fine aslong it's 2 max 3

#

imo

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

if you have another if statement now you had like 3 brackets

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

Yeah it works

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

i always prefer escaping the function instead

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

So it's not assigned

#

why tf not

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

yup

#

is it running at all ?

#

like after

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

eternal raptor i always prefer escaping the function instead

guess it's personal preference

#

Yeah I get less errors live

#

IT run before

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:32 PM

#

ok so ordering issue

#

I had that happen before

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

How did u fix it

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

I generally don't have things polling in Update

#

everything is event based for me

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

I see

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

once you go with events you never go back

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:33 PM

#

I understand

#

How would that work as for this case?

#

I'm really trying to get that build out to my friend today

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

basically you just subscribe to the Gamemanager static event

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

Sounds easy

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

public static event Action<bool> OnGameIsPaused

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

dont know much about events

#

Okay I'm writing 🖋️

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:34 PM

#

put that inside your game manager

#

then to call it when you pause

#

OnGameIsPaused?.Invoke(thePausedBool)

#

? is a null check

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

I see

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

if no listeners, then it spits out null if you try invoke it

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:35 PM

#

Yeah recently learned about x ??= y

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:36 PM

#

yeah

#

then inside any class you want to listen to event "Subscribe"

#

like you do for any notifications in real life like youtube

#

OnEnable(){
GameManager.OnGameIsPaused += TheMethodWhenGamePaused; }```

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

I see like an input action

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

private void TheMethodWhenGamePaused(bool isPaused)
if(isPaused) // do something```

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:37 PM

#

digital steeple I see like an input action

basically

#

yea events

#

OnDisable(){
GameManager.OnGameIsPaused -= TheMethodWhenGamePaused; }``` to clean up

#

now u dont need to check every frame in Update

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

calling game manager instance is safe in enable? (even when having the script order right)

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:38 PM

#

you're not calling Instance

#

notice I put static

#

this means this event belongs to the class itself

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

eternal raptor ```cs OnEnable(){ GameManager.OnGameIsPaused += TheMethodWhenGamePaused; }```

here

#

oh

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:39 PM

#

yeah exactly

#

thats not Instance

#

you're using the event directly on the class

#

its static , so only 1 exists

#

and belongs to the class, not the instance

#

same reason you can write GameManager.instance

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

I see

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

instance is a static

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:40 PM

#

So how does my cursor handler know when the event is invoked?

#

Ah wait I understand

#

nvm

#

THIS IS GREAT

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

got it workin?

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:44 PM

#

just a sec

#

cleanin up

#

Coding is cool

#

Okay building rn

#

Scripts stop compiling when timescale is set to 0 right?

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:48 PM

#

no

#

the only thing that stops with timescale are things depending on time

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

True I couldnt unpause then xD

#

makes sense

#

thats why we multiply movement by fixed delta time

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

digital steeple True I couldnt unpause then xD

where do you do the unpausing

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:49 PM

#

I press ESC as an input action and the game manager does it

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

digital steeple thats why we multiply movement by fixed delta time

no fixedDelta time is to keep things framerate independent but inside FixedUpdate

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:50 PM

#

digital steeple I press ESC as an input action and the game manager does it

show how you wrote the gameManager part

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:50 PM

https://paste.ofcode.org/CUYdmhJMNN3iT3tQaijDDw

#

(It's not working)

#

#

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:53 PM

#

digital steeple (It's not working)

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:53 PM

#

That doesnt work

#

I can send u the other one too

#

but the UI Element is not displayed

#

trying to find out why

#

(it works in editor)

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:55 PM

#

digital steeple I can send u the other one too

send the one that isnt doing the thing

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:56 PM

#

https://paste.ofcode.org/3VF5wRVWQEQMSYR7z6j265

#

This is the one receiving the message

#

And then I have this one with another nullpointer problem in line 32
https://paste.ofcode.org/s8Q6FjpqTifcm5vWb9np2s

#

When those 3 are working I can finally build and send it to my friend

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 8:58 PM

#

digital steeple And then I have this one with another nullpointer problem in line 32 https://pas...

Let me implement another event for the line 32

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 8:59 PM

#

digital steeple https://paste.ofcode.org/3VF5wRVWQEQMSYR7z6j265

which part of this one doesnt work

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

I send that one bcs its the one needing the variable from the game manager, I thought you wanted to see that one?

#

Also sorry for the messy code. I usually comment the important and less important parts

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

CursorHandler

#

im talking about this one

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

Yeah

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:00 PM

#

which part doesn't work you said

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

lemme see

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

and is the Object this script is on Active the whole time ?

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

Which one?

#

Script handler yes

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

CursorHandler

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

CursorHandler I mean

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

ok

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:01 PM

#

wait no

#

well yes

#

in this build

#

I plan to implement something at a later point that will deactivate the gameobject

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

one thing at a time

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:02 PM

#

But thats for another time

#

Yes

#

Okay the only problem left is RenderHelper.cs:38

#

let me implement an event and look for other problems

#

can fix this one myself because I learned from the best

#

oml no errors

#

Thank you so much for your time!

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:09 PM

#

eternal raptor one thing at a time

Pause isnt working tho thinkies

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:11 PM

#

digital steeple Pause isnt working tho <:thinkies:896716784818872340>

huh? what part isnt working exactly

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:11 PM

#

It's not doing it

#

No pause

#

It's not setting timescale to 0

#

not muting my audio sources

#

and not displaying my pause UI

#

It does in the editor

#

but not my development build

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

do you have any errors?

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

Nope

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

put Debug logs make sure its runing

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:13 PM

#

Neither editor nor build

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:14 PM

#

eternal raptor put Debug logs make sure its runing

sure

#

Do I see debug chat in the dev build=

#

?*

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

it should

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:15 PM

#

lets see

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

i also use this sometimes
https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/tools/gui/in-game-debug-console-68068

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:16 PM

#

Okay either I dont see em

#

Or They dont work

#

They do in the editor as I said

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:17 PM

#

maybe try the asset

#

g2g to work in 7 mins

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:20 PM

#

On it

#

Just a prefab into the scene? Easy

#

Nice

#

I guess something is still not working

#

oh nvm it's the prefab looking for an eventsystem handler

#

private void Start()
{
    Debug.Log("Log");
    Debug.LogWarning("Warning");
    Debug.LogError("Error");
}

#

This is not showing

#

huhh

#

Meaning the object is not there??

#

How

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

hmm are you sure you are exporting the correct scene

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:26 PM

#

yes I only have 3 scenes

#

This is definetely the one I have here

#

I have a main menu 2D

#

This one open world

#

And a third (empty) one for testing stuff

#

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

strange, is the gameobject that script is on enabeld

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:27 PM

#

Yup

#

It works in the editor

#

I see the debug log in the editor

#

I restart and try again

#

IT WORKS IN A NORMAL BUILD HUHH

#

OKay well ggs

#

I guess dev build messes stuff up?

eternal raptor Apr 5, 2024, 9:32 PM

#

either that or it kept exporting an old build

#

sometimes is good to do a Clean build

#

digital steeple Apr 5, 2024, 9:33 PM

#

Ahh I see

#

well I did restart the editor
