#

there, a thread

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

ok

#

why is this there

#

public static Pause pause

#

also don't name your classes lowercase

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

ah nevermind that, it's nothing

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

classes should always be PascalCase

#

capitalize the first letter always

#

anyway ok You added the event here. You just have to Invoke it when you pause with the appropriate value

#

also you should probably store the state inside a bool

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

#💻┃code-beginner message like for example this?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

link isn't going anywhere

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

what?

why are you sending me this

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:19 PM

#

is this an example of invoke?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:19 PM

#

I just told you the Link isn't working

#

what dont you get lol

#

first store the bool of isPaused

crude ginkgo May 31, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

rough ice I just told you the Link isn't working

It took me to Fens example code where they invoke

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

crude ginkgo It took me to Fens example code where they invoke

ohh thats weird, mine just takes me to this thread

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

rough ice first store the bool of `isPaused`

private bool isPaused;?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

that would be a boolean yes

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

rough ice ohh thats weird, mine just takes me to this thread

when i click on the thread, it takes me to Fens example code

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

rough ice that would be a boolean yes

ok, i added it

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

ok do you know how to toggle it true/false?

#

show your Pause method

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

rough ice show your Pause method

https://gdl.space/urudicozom.cs

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:23 PM

#

ok good

#

so do you know where to switch this bool to true and false

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:24 PM

#

like isPaused = true;?

#

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:31 PM

#

warped pumice like isPaused = true;?

correct

#

now you have to Invoke that value on the event

#

any time it changes to a new value

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

like Invoke("PauseGame")?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:38 PM

#

warped pumice like Invoke("PauseGame")?

no

#

Monobehavior.Invoke
and event.Invoke are completely different

#

You have to Invoke the value on the event

#

do you see OnGamePaused passes a bool value around

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:40 PM

#

yeah

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

So invoke this event with the bool value, when the value changes

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

OnGamePaused?.Invoke(paused);?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:41 PM

#

warped pumice OnGamePaused?.Invoke(paused);?

is your bool named paused

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

I mean isPaused

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:42 PM

#

ok so put that

#

given wat I said earlier, where do you plan on putting this

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

hmmmmm.... in.... PauseGame?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

is PauseGame the only time isPaused changes ?

#

You dont want to track it when its not paused?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:43 PM

#

PauseGame and ResumeGame changes because PauseGame have true and ResumeGame and false

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:44 PM

#

right so based on that, I ask again. Where do you think should put the invoke you showed

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

in PauseGame and in ResumeGame?

#

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

not so hard is it ?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

ok, now let me test it

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:45 PM

#

wait

#

part 1 is done

#

you still didn't do the second part

#

You are "Broadcasting" this Event

#

but is anyone that cares listening ?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

huh? second part?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:46 PM

#

yes.

#

You only announced the event

#

but something needs to "listen" to this event

#

dont you want to do something with isPaused ?

#

in another script

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

back to Player2D script?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

that would be one of them interested in that bool, sure

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:48 PM

#

ok, I am back in the Player2D script

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:49 PM

#

I would also suggest to clean it up in the OnDestroy or OnDisable method

#

with the -=

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

moving -= !paused; or pause.OnGamePaused -= HandlePause;?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:50 PM

#

so basically

#

in awake Subscribe +=

#

and in OnDestroy -= UnSubscribe

#

or you can do OnEnable +=
and OnDisable -=

#

thats what I typically do

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:51 PM

#

warped pumice moving -= !paused; or pause.OnGamePaused -= HandlePause;?

the same way you wrote the += one but -=

#

think of it like Youtube or Twitch or anything that has Subscribers

#

+= means you are SUBSCRIBING to the events
-= means you are NOT-SUBSCRIBING to the events anymore

#

its good practice to cleanup subscribing especially when object gets destroyed, we don't keep subscribed to something that is destroyed

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:55 PM

#

so like... should i put pause.OnGamePaused -= HandlePause; in..... ? since pause.OnGamePaused += HandlePause; is in void awake

rough ice May 31, 2024, 4:57 PM

#

warped pumice so like... should i put pause.OnGamePaused -= HandlePause; in..... ? sin...

I said it already, also said another option #1246134682991460352 message

#

read carefully the first one

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 4:58 PM

#

rough ice and in OnDestroy `-=` UnSubscribe

oh right

#

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:00 PM

#

warped pumice

tryitandsee

#

also what is moving do

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:01 PM

#

rough ice <:tryitandsee:1090612861178478703>

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:02 PM

#

rough ice also what is `moving` do

maybe that to make sure player is not moving no matter what button you press?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

warped pumice maybe that to make sure player is not moving no matter what button you press?

what?

#

that doesnt explain what i asked

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:03 PM

#

warped pumice

where in the script do you flip player left/right

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:04 PM

#

rough ice where in the script do you flip player left/right

#

in player2D script

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:05 PM

#

warped pumice

so how the hell do you expect the event to affect this at all

#

com on

#

simple logic

#

you are changing moving bool. What does moving bool do.

#

again

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:08 PM

#

rough ice you are changing `moving` bool. What does `moving` bool do.

that moving is that when the player moves like jumping, attacking, flipping sides and if it's set to false the player unable to do any of this stuff

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:09 PM

#

warped pumice that moving is that when the player moves like jumping, attacking, flipping side...

let me see it

#

in the code

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:10 PM

#

rough ice let me see it

https://gdl.space/ihejiholor.cs

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

warped pumice https://gdl.space/ihejiholor.cs

that moving is that when the player moves like jumping, attacking, flipping sides and if it's set to false the player unable to do any of this stuff

#

but where?

#

its literally not doing anything

#

just receiving the value

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:11 PM

#

idk, I got the example from fren

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:12 PM

#

its not affecting any other code at all

#

You need to start applying the examples to make sense

#

thats why they are examples

#

obviously its not doing anything in your code how could it possibly affect it?

#

you should know this by now..

#

OK make this very simple

#

is Player2D supposed to do ANYTHING while paused

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

no

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:14 PM

#

Ok so disable the Entire script

#

instead

#

do you know how to do that?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:16 PM

#

GetComponent<Player2D>().enabled = false in Pause Game and GetComponent<Player2D>().enabled = true in ResumeGame?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:18 PM

#

do you have another scripts that has bother player2d scripts referenced?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:19 PM

#

no?

#

I mean

#

the scripts the player have is muon interaction, scroll interaction, hitpoints, player components, player projectile

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:20 PM

#

anyway thats fine

#

since you know how to disable it just use that instead

#

all MonoB scripts have the enabled

#

so link the enabled to the value from event

#

inside HandlePause

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

all the scripts?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:22 PM

#

how many do you want disabled?

#

start with the player2D

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

rough ice start with the player2D

like this?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:23 PM

#

warped pumice like this?

is this inside Player2D why are you doing GetComponent

#

also why you hardcoded false 🤔

#

which script is this?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:24 PM

#

Player2D

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

HandlePause is inside Player2D ?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

yes

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:25 PM

#

then you don't need GetComponent, since you already are In the component you need

crude ginkgo May 31, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

The this keyword is for self referencing. this.enabled

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

its implied you don't really need it

crude ginkgo May 31, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

And yeah, instead of false, use the bool you are passing in

crude ginkgo May 31, 2024, 5:26 PM

#

rough ice its implied you don't really need it

Yeah true, I always tend towards overly explicit haha

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

if you had another variable named enabled in a method parameter then yea

#

i use this often when my method parameter has the same name as my fields

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:27 PM

#

idk wha tto write in HandlePause

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:28 PM

#

warped pumice idk wha tto write in HandlePause

you want the script to disable, you know what enabled does? what do you think

#

adhd moment

#

try a little more so I don't have to spoon feed you every line

#

Handle Pause is giving you the Value of the Paused event

#

enabled property determines if script is enabled or not

#

its a 2+2 moment

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

but even if the Player2D is disable, this script line that is inside Player2D script would also be disable, won't it?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:30 PM

#

no because it still subscribed to the event

#

enabled only disables Unity specific events

#

like Update

#

Only Disabling a GAMEOBJECT would prevent any lines from running

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:32 PM

#

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:33 PM

#

wtf is going on here

#

you literally overcomplicated the shit out of this

#

enabled needs to be set with a value.. do you not see its red?

#

think for a moment how the flow goes

#

HandlePause gets paused from the event OnGamePaused

#

what do you think you should do with paused

crude ginkgo May 31, 2024, 5:37 PM

#

~~As nav said, remove the entire line at 101. You are IN that component, no need to get it.~~
Then the other line of course needs.... an =, right?
You can's just tell the compiler "enabled"
You want to tell it "set enabled to [true/false]"

#

Ah, that's what I get for jumping in and out. Yeah, the getcomponent is for the other script

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:39 PM

#

Its not like they dont know how to assign values thats whats most notlikethis

#

@warped pumice Did you get it working?

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

wait

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

About to run out

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

huh?

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:49 PM

#

I have to run to work 😛

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:49 PM

#

warped pumice huh?

Look here

#

what do you think goes on the Red line

#

its an easy test

#

based on everything me and Aethenosity wrote

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

rough ice Look here

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

......why did it take this long to write this

#

tryitandsee

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

the player is not moving when pausing, so it's working

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

UnityChanThumbsUp

#

hopefully you understood 10% of whats going on

warped pumice May 31, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

yeah, man I have autism and ADHD that is a big disadvantage for me to understand all coding, especially i always forget

rough ice May 31, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

Yeah I mean, have adhd as well so I can understand, but really repetition is key, you haven't practiced what you learned enough you're gonna forget if you don't instill it

#

doing something once or twice isnt enough

#

I literally had to do it for years before it really becomes muscle memory

#

also have big memory problems from injury so believe me, If I can do it so can you lol

#

just practice what you learned, if you learned about event. Do it in other projects or use it more, keep practicing until it make sense

#

The MAJOR benefit of the Event , also called the Observer pattern. Is your Pause Script doesn't care about Player scripts or anything, it just says "I was paused/unpaused"

#

other scripts that listen to that Event react in their own way, in your case Player2D script disables itself etc.

#

it can be used for other use cases, you don't have to put a dozen references in the Pause script when it doesn't need to
