@haughty dust i didn't even notice this tiny little thing
i had to squint really hard 🤣
haughty dust
💪 thats the new stuff
haughty dust
it still asking you about multiple solutions?
prime geyser
nope
haughty dust
ok , and you reneged project files before opening?
prime geyser
oh
spiral aurora
- did u delete all the .proj and the sln files
- did u regen or open thru Unity
- are you sure ur vseditor plug-in is updated to 2.0... in the package manager
haughty dust
also double check VSCode editor package is removed from Package Manager
spiral aurora
^ yea, that too
haughty dust
that could cause issues lockin on
prime geyser
- did u delete all the .proj *and* the sln files
- did u regen or open *thru* Un...
yes, and i re-opened vs code and this is in the output
prime geyser
imma do it again
spiral aurora
yes, and i re-opened vs code and this is in the output
isnt this correct now?
haughty dust
yes, and i re-opened vs code and this is in the output
well at least its not complaining about sdk being missing
it should be working if it says loadeded
prime geyser
imma do it again
same thing again
haughty dust
same thing again
no solution explorer tab in the explorer window?
also did you check if VSC editor package was in package manager in unity?
prime geyser
no solution explorer tab in the explorer window?
progress, it's there now
prime geyser
haughty dust
open yes
spiral aurora
😐 lol
prime geyser
i restarted it, still doesn't work
spiral aurora
what are we trying to do.. was it just his explorer being wrong?
haughty dust
no underlines
spiral aurora
prime geyser
no underlines
it doesn't do any unity stuff, not just underlines
haughty dust
prime geyser
wdym restarted
re-opened
haughty dust
do you not have the same solution explorer?
prime geyser
do you not have the same solution explorer?
still have it
and the solution is still open
haughty dust
still have it
what
haughty dust
and the solution is still open
show
prime geyser
haughty dust
ok were getting somewhere
expand assembly
find yout script in Assets
double click it
check bottom bar while anything is loading
prime geyser
double click it
this is the only thing that changed, this line went from light blue to this greenish-blue
spiral aurora
hover it.. does it tell u anything?
haughty dust
if it shows rigidbody then your good
haughty dust
where is context box
prime geyser
haughty dust
intellicode
prime geyser
this is what shoulda happened
this appears while i'm typing
spiral aurora
good
spiral aurora
thats b/c its now actively picking up errors
and this is technically an error.. b/c its not complete
haughty dust
i should write some type of blogpost for this lol
haughty dust
i think it just needed it refresh a couple of times or the old sln was bust
better than when sdk is missing
spiral aurora
a PC restart probably woulda cut off some time
prime geyser
so now, it's time to actually fix the error
prime geyser
a PC restart probably woulda cut off some time
my PC takes 20 mins to restart
spiral aurora
ah, nvm then
prime geyser
my PC takes 20 mins to restart
i have a hhd, so it makes sense
haughty dust
oof
spiral aurora
hhd < ssd < nvme
prime geyser
ik
spiral aurora
white-noise machine
prime geyser
i have a 1 TB hhd
spiral aurora
haughty dust
big boi
spiral aurora
ya, i have a pile of SSDs that have died over the years
BIG PILE
my HDD is my saving grace
haughty dust
they are more prone to digital degradation
prime geyser
the thing is, how did you use 2 TB
haughty dust
esp with frequent access
prime geyser
also i have a 2 TB not a 1 TB hhd
prime geyser
some of my files are 100GB
haughty dust
my unity projects just keep stacking
spiral aurora
ya, ive been seeing alot of ppl have scenes larger than 100gb
thats insane to me
i cant even.. must be some big ole environments i guess
haughty dust
how does tarkov handle that? or is that not that big
not even sure what the biggest map in unity is thats hd
spiral aurora
cities skylines 😉
haughty dust
is it?
spiral aurora
iono.. but its a pretty big map.. but i think that game is scaled down
haughty dust
just feels like its just scaled down tiny
spiral aurora
yup
prime geyser
doing it in blender might save a lot of storage for that
spiral aurora
w/ a mod called 81 tiles.. u can use every single tile in the game..
i think default they lock u into 9 or so
prime geyser
what kind of GPU handles that
prime geyser
how
spiral aurora
idk.. they have some crazy optimizations in that game ¯_(ツ)_/¯
and they keep alot of it hush hush
prime geyser
my PC freezes up when I open discord
haughty dust
once I reach 1million population my shit starts dying
prime geyser
my PC is at 90% memory as we speak
prime geyser
i have 16 gigs
haughty dust
same
prime geyser
my CPU is my bottleneck
hdd and ram for me
but, my brother is the one who got this
he got a pre-built
spiral aurora
gotta do what u gotta do
spiral aurora
yup
prime geyser
why does it give me an error tho
spiral aurora
hover over it
haughty dust
hover over the second error
spiral aurora
well u dont assign it like that
haughty dust
it tells you you cannot use access modifiers inside a method
prime geyser
well u dont assign it like that
how then
spiral aurora
public Transform play1;
public Transform play2;
public Transform play3;
public Transform[] characters;```the first three not needed btw, thats why i suggested array
spiral aurora
{
charcters = new Transform[] {play1, play2, play2};
}```like that i think
but yea.. u can just assign them in the inspector
no need to declare them seperately
player1 would be characters[0], player 2 would be characters[1], and soo on
haughty dust
this is also probably the code before the method
yes just call it players[] avoid confusion
prime geyser
this is also probably the code before the method
so what do i change
haughty dust
so what do i change
idk what you wrote before it
send the entire script https://gdl.space
prime geyser
spiral aurora
is that what ur trying to do? like a list of players u can loop thru.. checking their distance.. and soo on
using a for loop would loop thru the collection of Transform[] characters
haughty dust
https://gdl.space/hadoyegatu.cs
this is all sorts of wrong
prime geyser
this is all sorts of wrong
why
haughty dust
you closed class early
prime geyser
you closed class early
wdym
haughty dust
because you initilized an array wrong , its reading the } from it as closing the entire class
messing up the rest
also the way its written in start is wrong because you never put access modifiers inside methods
prime geyser
because you initilized an array wrong , its reading the `}` from it as closing t...
oh
so what do i change
spiral aurora
why not assign em like this
haughty dust
do this ^
spiral aurora
since they're gameobjects anyway
altho u coulld do it like this..
but thats weird
haughty dust
also if you wrote it as
public Transform player1; public Transform player2; public Transform player3;
Transform[] players = new Transform[3] { player1, player2, player3 };
it would've worked but no sense in doing that at all
but because they were Gameobjects it makes no sense, its trying to fit spheres inside a square hole
spiral aurora
hmm what happens when u leave the new [] blank?
prime geyser
why not assign em like this
ok i did it
haughty dust
`characters = new Transform[]`
array need a length when new afaik
haughty dust
since they are fixed
spiral aurora
im let loop it
haughty dust
prime geyser
also if you wrote it as
` public Transform player1;
public Transform player2;...
no more errors
haughty dust
im let loop it
oh you mean if already initilize it with 3 ?
haughty dust
ya u hardcoded 3
ohh thought you meant in the initilizer
prime geyser
this doesn't give errors
public Transform player1;
public Transform player2;
public Transform player3;
[SerializeField] Transform[] players;
void Awake()
{
Transform[] players = new Transform[3] { player1, player2, player3 };
}
sorry
haughty dust
all good my brain farted
spiral aurora
but yea.. i dont necessarily even have to drop in 3 elements.. the {x, y, z} thingy just makes it work
magic 🪄
spiral aurora
this doesn't give errors
```cs
public Transform player1;
public Transform...
that should do it
now u have players(0->2);
prime geyser
that should do it
i removed the 3 btw
haughty dust
this doesn't give errors
```cs
public Transform player1;
public Transform...
you're assinging it to a local array
it will not affect the original array
remove awake entirely, and just assign in inspector
spiral aurora
ohh yea remove the Transform[] part of the awake/start
u just need to assign the players
players = new Transform..
haughty dust
^ and you dont need public Transform player1; public Transform player2; public Transform player3; anymore
array is literally a collection of players
spiral aurora
assign em via the inspector in other words
and dnt worry about setting them in code
(dynamic)
prime geyser
^ and you dont need `public Transform player1;
public Transform player2;
...
i got errors when i removed it
spiral aurora
b.c u didnt assign em in the inspector probably
haughty dust
i got errors when i removed it
because you have to remove awake too
you're prob still trying to new() an array with player1,2,3
spiral aurora
this is literally all you need
spiral aurora
until u go to access them in code
haughty dust
i now have 24 errors
ok before removing do this
put them back
click the player one and do Rename
then rename them all to player[0], player[1], player[2]
and do for all 3
then remove
only thing to keep in mind is collections/arrays are 0 index
prime geyser
wdym by do Rename
haughty dust
so player1 is player[0]
haughty dust
that too
do you have places where you wrote player1 ,player2 et.?
like outside this script
prime geyser
like outside this script
yes, but they are not related to these ones
prime geyser
this is my code rn (bc i'm getting kinda confused)
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class Enemies : MonoBehaviour
{
public int enemy_health = 100;
public string nearest_player = "Player1";
private int random_number = Random.Range(0, 3);
public Transform player1;
public Transform player2;
public Transform player3;
[SerializeField] Transform[] players;
void Awake()
{
players = new Transform[] { player1, player2, player3 };
}
void Start()
{
}
void Update()
{
if (enemy_health <= 0)
{
Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
void OnCollisionEnter(Collision collision)
{
if (collision.gameObject.tag == "Bullet")
{
enemy_health -= 10;
}
}
Transform GetNearestPlayer(Vector3 point)
{
Transform nearestPlayer = null;
float minDistance = Mathf.Infinity;
foreach (Transform player in players)
{
float distance = Vector3.Distance(point, player.position);
if (distance < minDistance)
{
minDistance = distance;
nearestPlayer = player;
}
}
return nearestPlayer;
}
}
you did like nothing of what we told you the past 20 mins
prime geyser
you did like nothing of what we told you the past 20 mins
i kept asking you wdym by do Rename and you didn't respond
haughty dust
right click it . n rename
but if you said you're not referencing it anywehre else dont worry then
delete them
spiral aurora
prime geyser
and remove the awake()?
spiral aurora
heres ur code... identical from when i copied from paste-bin
and yes you need to remove the start and awake
since they're empty
prime geyser
but this line is having errors because player1 and player2 and player3 don't exist
players = new Transform[] { player1, player2, player3 };
spiral aurora
really...
prime geyser
what do i replace player1, player2, and player3 with
prime geyser
bro remove the Awake method
i did
spiral aurora
what do i replace player1, player2, and player3 with
you add them via the inspector
prime geyser
do you want me to remove the players = new Transform[] { player1, player2, player3 }; line too?
prime geyser
you add them via the **inspector**
ok
spiral aurora
then player1 becomes players[0]
prime geyser
thats literally part of awake
i removed awake, not the thing that was in it
haughty dust
did you just delete Awwake () wuithout deleting the entire codelock
haughty dust
i removed awake, not the thing that was in it
that wouldnt have even compiled
spiral aurora
thats a classic.. 🫣
haughty dust
you have to start doing a bit of c# crashcourse
learn what a method definition is etc
anatomy of a script
spiral aurora
important
prime geyser
i was a just a bit confused on what you wanted me to do
but anyways, now there are no more errors
lemme test if that works
haughty dust
i was a just a bit confused on what you wanted me to do
yes but dont blindly follow , try to understand why you're doing something if you don't, ask
prime geyser
it works
prime geyser
yes but dont blindly follow , try to understand why you're doing something if yo...
my strategy is follow, and understand after it works
