Bullet going wrong way

[jade swift]

okay can you show the current code

for bullet

also can you show the spawn bullet object pivot/rotation, you only showed bullet

[autumn tiger]

spawn bullet object pibot/rotation? you mean where the buller spawns from?

[jade swift]

indeed

[autumn tiger]

[jade swift]

what about the shoot script

[autumn tiger]

https://gdl.space/kugicorili.cs

[jade swift]

Debug the value make sure you're passing the correct one

also can you show video on whats happening now instead

[jade swift]

this too

[tough elbow]

Debug both in start and set direction

To see which one is called first.

[jade swift]

it seems the direction might be correct

its just colliding with the player

try disabling their collisions

[autumn tiger]

debug

[tough elbow]

Make your log messages more meaningful. I've no clue which log corresponds to what.

Share your updated code too

[tough elbow]

Now I collapse the log messages

[tough elbow]

And the other log?

The one in set direction

Take a screenshot of the whole console tab

[autumn tiger]

ah i picked playing soudn instead

[autumn tiger]

I did

[jade swift]

yes

i see that

direction still wrong for some reason but at least not getting stuck on player

[autumn tiger]

i don't know why

[tough elbow]

I can't see the order of the messages like that. Disable collapse and take a screenshot of the whole console window. How many times do I have to repeat the same thing?

[jade swift]

thats what debugging is for

[tough elbow]

Disable "collapse" in the console window...

Come on. Read the messages and follow the instructions. It's not that hard...

[autumn tiger]

Hang on, let me sleep and do that tomorrow

[autumn tiger]

tbh i never have done that before and don't know how

[autumn tiger]

I know, and the debug have a number "1" on it

[tough elbow]

Look at your console tab/window. Do you see the "collapse" button?

[autumn tiger]

I am looking at the window tab, but i see no collaps button

[tough elbow]

*console tab

Where is the console tab? Circle it in the screenshot

[tough elbow]

Great, now look closer at all the buttons in the tab

[autumn tiger]

i am look at them, clear, collapse. error pause, editor

[tough elbow]

And what button was I telling you to disable?

[autumn tiger]

collapse

[tough elbow]

Can you do that now?

[autumn tiger]

disable on

[tough elbow]

Now scroll to the top of the log

[autumn tiger]

at the top

[tough elbow]

Ok, so finally we can confirm that the the direction is set before it is applied to velocity.

Now, It seems like it's being set to 1.

Did you actually try to face left?

Where were you facing when these logs were printed?

[autumn tiger]

left
https://gdl.space/imarenesij.cs
https://gdl.space/kugicorili.cs

[tough elbow]

So if direction is always 1, what does it tell us?

int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1;

[autumn tiger]

Determine the direction based on player's facing

[tough elbow]

So what does it tell us about it?

[autumn tiger]

even if i put -1 instead, it's still just 1 on debug.log

[tough elbow]

Where do you put -1?

[autumn tiger]

it's in the video, i tested to change the 1 in private int direction to -1

[tough elbow]

Of course it wouldn't be the value that you set in the initializer, since you're debugging dir, not direction. And even if you did debug direction, it would be overriden by dir by that point.

You didn't answer my question.

[autumn tiger]

to see if the spriterendered is facing the left side so the projectile is shooting to the lieft side

[tough elbow]

we always get dir == 1. What does it tell us about the sprite renderer?

[autumn tiger]

I don't know how to answer that

[tough elbow]

What does this line do?
int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1;

[autumn tiger]

The line int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1; uses the flipX property of the SpriteRenderer component to determine the direction in which the player is facing.

[tough elbow]

That sounds like ai generated answer

But let's assume it's not. So what value is spriteRenderer.flipX having if we are getting direction == 1?

[autumn tiger]

hmmm... then... it will.. not affect the projectile's movement direction?

and won't move to the -number way?

[tough elbow]

You're not reading what I'm saying

if direction == 1, then spriteRenderer.flipX == ?

[autumn tiger]

...spriteRenderer.flipX == 1?

[tough elbow]

No. What type is flipX. What values can it have?

What does this syntax do? variable ? 1 : -1

[autumn tiger]

bool??

[tough elbow]

yes

So What's the answer to the previous question?

[autumn tiger]

this one? then.... spriteRenderer.flipX is a bool on the spriterenderer and direction = 1 is an int?

[tough elbow]

This one:

if direction == 1, then spriteRenderer.flipX == ?

[autumn tiger]

if direction == 1 then the spriteRenderer is facing right?

[tough elbow]

No.

What value does it have?

[autumn tiger]

the value of spriteRenderer.flipX depends on which direction the player's sprite is facing at,

If spriteRenderer.flipX is set to true when the player is facing left, but if If spriteRenderer.flipX is set to flase when the player is facing right

[tough elbow]

That's incorrect. Where did you get that info from?

And that's not what I'm asking.

What I'm asking is simply if direction is 1, then what flipX is equal to?

[autumn tiger]

if direction is 1 then the spriteRenderer.flipX is false since it is a bool

[tough elbow]

Okay. I'm 99% sure that was ai generated, but okay.

So what should happen if you want to get direction == -1?

[autumn tiger]

flipX is a bool, and bools have true or false.

[autumn tiger]

then the spriteRenderer.flipX will be true since the -number is to the left side
or since if it's changing the direction number from 1 to minus -1 instead, then that would be also false? (idk how to answer it)

[tough elbow]

The answer that I expected is simple: "for direction to be -1, flipX needs to be set to false".

So are you setting it to false anywhere?

[autumn tiger]

hmm... it have int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1; and the projectile have private int direction = 1; ... so I guess no?

[tough elbow]

So what do you need to do to fix the issue?

[autumn tiger]

to try change the line private int direction = 1; to something else?

[tough elbow]

no...

It's like you immediately forget the conversation so far...

[autumn tiger]

no I haven't forgotten, I meant by changing the number by adding -1 to there?

[tough elbow]

No

What does the direction depend on?

[autumn tiger]

something to do with int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1;?
since when i tried int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? 1 : -1;. it is going to the left direction but no longer to the right.

so should i change something int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1;?

[tough elbow]

No. That doesn't answer my question

direction depends on spriteRenderer.flipX. If you want direction to change, you need to change spriteRenderer.flipX.

Now. At this point I recommend you to stop your project and go learn the basics properly. Start with the beginner pathways on unity !learn

[upper crane]

:teacher: Unity Learn ↗

Over 750 hours of free live and on-demand learning content for all levels of experience!

[autumn tiger]

that is actual what i meant, somewhere in int direction = spriteRenderer.flipX ? -1 : 1;?

[tough elbow]

No. That sentence doesn't make any sense.

[autumn tiger]

idk what to answer then

[tough elbow]

You don't need to answer at this point. I already gave you the answer. But I don't think you're gonna get far with it unless you go and learn the basics.

[autumn tiger]

idk how to fix that, it works for like one of the enemies, but not for the player
I wanted it to be fixed somehow

[tough elbow]

I told you how to fix it. There's nothing more I can do if you don't understand. I suggest taking the unity learn pathway. This issue should be easy to solve once you understand what you're doing.

[autumn tiger]

I know that change the spriteRenderer.flipX. but idk how

[tough elbow]

That's why you should learn the basics

[autumn tiger]

I just don't know why it's not working or how to fix that, it's works for the enemy with the projectile but not for the player.

[autumn tiger]

and even if i try to fix it, it's just messing with the player's sprite

[tough elbow]

You'd need to share the "try fix attempt" that doesn't work if you need any further help.

[autumn tiger]

[jade swift]

why did you comment out spriteflip?

[autumn tiger]

because it would just mess witht he sprite becaise I'm unable to flip to the left side

[jade swift]

how would it mess with the sprite? it was working fine before ?

[autumn tiger]

I meant the player sprite

[jade swift]

that doesnt answer the question

[jade swift]

why are you showing me this and how does that answer what I've asked ?

its literally commented out, ofc the sprite is staying the same..

[autumn tiger]

this is when it's not commented out

[jade swift]

again, so why did you comment it out ?

[autumn tiger]

so the player sprite can flip agian

[jade swift]

what?

also its very annoying have to extract info from you

You should at very least put some effort into what information you are providing without having to ask you a million questions that you barely give answer to it

you answer with something unrelated

[autumn tiger]

look, if i keep this, then the player sprite won't flip like facing to the left way, but if I remove these, then the player sprite and face to the left side

[jade swift]

Remove what ? what is "these"

[autumn tiger]

this image, i literally mentioned there on answering the comment there

if (moveInput > 0)
{
spriteRenderer.flipX = false;
}
else if (moveInput < 0)
{
spriteRenderer.flipX = true;
}

[jade swift]

Ok so when you have that , does it flip or not

[autumn tiger]

no

[jade swift]

How was it workin before ?

when you had it working

[autumn tiger]

it didn't worked before (I menat for just the enemy), it just works for the projectile but not the player sprite, but when I remove that, the player sprite can flip when facing left but the projectile still shooting to the right

[jade swift]

ok because before you were using scale to flip player

so instead of passing the flipX value to Direction, you have a bool

do you not have a bool right now ? like

isFacingRight or isFacingLeft ?

use that to pass dir instead of the spriteRenderer FlipX value

int direction = playerMovementScript.isFacingLeft ? -1 : 1;
( this is an example dont directly copy, should be obvious what to do here)
