frontHealthBar is null / not assigned | Official Unity Discord | Page 1

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:40 PM

#

also the front bar works perfect, its just the back bar doesnt follow the front bar

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

well works perfect . you still got a null ref

#

and second bar doesn't work because the lerp is wrong

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:42 PM

#

how should the lerp be written

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

if its supposed to animate in this case, it occur over a series of frames

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

near gazelle well works perfect . you still got a null ref

so can i ignore it, or does it have to be fixed

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 5:43 PM

#

acoustic matrix so can i ignore it, or does it have to be fixed

you don't ignore null references no

#

fix it

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:44 PM

#

but i dont know how, its supposed to be an image and I already dragged the image into the variable, idk how its null

#

is that what you mean by give it a value?

maybe you have a copy with this script somewhere where its unassigned

#

you would search the hierarchy with t:PlayerHealth

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:45 PM

#

i only have 1 player in my hierarchy

what

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:46 PM

oh sorry

I read wrong

yeah only 1 thing shows which is my player(the gameobject that has the script attatched)

clear the console window, re-run the game and send any new errors that show, screenshot the inspector where the script is

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

my player health goes down when i click a button currently, because i havent implemented enemies yet.

#

but as you can see my health goes down but not the backround, but when my health is 0 you can see the yellow go down a very little bit, but it should match the health bar just with a little delay

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 5:54 PM

is that what you meant?

acoustic matrix is that what you meant?

this is at runtime ?

while the game is running?

is that what you mean

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:02 PM

are you sure you don't have 2 PlayerHealth scripts on player

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

oh my god

#

im so sorry

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

the error would not throw any other way unless frontHealthBar is null

i did

im so sorry

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

oh lol

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

let me test it

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

well at least it was an easy fix

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

okay the errors are gone now

#

but i still have a question

#

my backround healthbar (the yellow one) is following the red one

#

i know earlier you said the lerp was wrong so how should i change the lerp

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

lerpTimer is very small and u only press it once

#

so its decreasing very slow

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

how do I make it faster

#

increase chipSpeed?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

are you trying to animate the bar going down?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

yes

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

I would use a coroutine then so it can happen over span of frames

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

the red one goes down, then the yellow one slowly reaches where the red one is

#

thats how i want it to be

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

near gazelle I would use a coroutine then so it can happen over span of frames

is there any way to just make the lerp faster instead?

#

can i take away "percentComplete" and put my own value?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:12 PM

#

maybe just try this

#

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A))
        {
            
            TakeDamage(Random.Range(1,10));
            if(updatingUi) return;
            StartCoroutine(UpdateHealthUI(0.2f)); //put some duration
        }```

    {

            }
        }
        updatingUi = false
    }```

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:13 PM

should i delete this:

    float fillF = frontHealthBar.fillAmount;
    float fillB= backHealthBar.fillAmount;
    float hFraction = health/maxHealth;

those errors pop up

do I make a bool variable that says updatingUi

#

okay

#

private?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

you probably will need to fix it better after if the health goes down too quick

#

otherwise while its animating it wont animate again if another hit is taken

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:17 PM

#

and there is one more error

its the error on line 35

its still the same error

you sent the wrong script

send PlayerHealth

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:28 PM

oh whoops idk how that happened

using System.Collections;

#

there you go

#

did i do something wrong?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

yes

#

did you not look a the updated UpdateHealthUI

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:33 PM

#

i did, whats wrong with it?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

look closely

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

ohhh both chipspeeds have to be changed to time correct?

#

i didnt notice there were 2

#

i thought there was only the 1 i changed

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

yes new one is just time+=

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

ahh i see

#

well

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

rather than a speed it will be a specific duration

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

i see that i missed it

#

i dont really know wat this stuff does

#

well some of it atleast

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:35 PM

#

coroutine helps run a function over a series of frames as it were inside Update

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

okay it works

#

the yellow does change a little too fast though

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

you can adjust duration

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:36 PM

#

how?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:37 PM

#

acoustic matrix well some of it atleast

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Coroutines.html
https://gamedevbeginner.com/the-right-way-to-lerp-in-unity-with-examples/

#

just fyi the Lerp could've also worked without coroutine if it was inside Update , it still needs to happen over a series of frames to be a smoothing animation

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:38 PM

#

oh okay

#

also how do i change the speed of the animation?

#

i tried messing with chipSpeed but it did nothing

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

ofcourse not chipSpeed isn't used anywhere in that code now is it

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:39 PM

#

acoustic matrix also how do i change the speed of the animation?

#

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

ohhhhh

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

i put 0.2f as an example you can make a variable for it and adjust, now its based on duration instead of speed

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

so i can change the float number to my liking?

#

oh okay

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

0.2 means animation is 200 milliseconds-ish

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:40 PM

#

1 is 1 second correct

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

acoustic matrix 1 is 1 second correct

yea

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

can i change that number to chipSpeed so i can change it in inspector

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:41 PM

#

if you want

#

there might be issue to solve where if you will tap to fast now, the number will go down and TakeDamage but wont animate

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:42 PM

#

yes i was about to say that

#

but that should be a problem right?

#

if i make it when an enemy hits me it will just go down, because its 1 input correct?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:43 PM

#

I mean yeah but its better to fix it corectly , what if you take faster damage than the animation kept up

#

then healthbar amount wont match health in logic

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

wait so if one thing damages me with 20 dmg and a different hits me with 10 dmg, it wont be the same?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:44 PM

#

depending on the style, but to solve it instead you would have to drain it to real new value rather than the old value

#

so basically you need to cancel out the previous coroutine and start a new one with new value

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

acoustic matrix wait so if one thing damages me with 20 dmg and a different hits me with 10 dmg,...

if updatingUi is true while someone else is hitting you , the health will go down but the healthbar wont update

#

so to solve that you could cancel out the previous coroutine animating and start a new one with the new values

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:45 PM

#

why is that

#

oh okay

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

acoustic matrix why is that

because of this
if (updatingUi) return; StartCoroutine(UpdateHealthUI(0.2f)); //put some duration

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

so how do i cancel that out and start a new one

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:46 PM

#

this is saying, if its already updating UI then return out of this function and dont run anything underneath it within this if statement

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

acoustic matrix so how do i cancel that out and start a new one

you would store the Coroutine UpdateHealthUI inside a variable

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

so do i make an else statement after?

#

oh

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:47 PM

#

noo

#

so private Coroutine updateUICoroutine

#

if(updateUICoroutine != null) StopCoroutine(updateUICoroutine );
updateUICoroutine = StartCoroutine(UpdateHealthUI())

#

and you can get rid of this if (fillB > hFraction) which is probably useless here

#

and replace the bool in the coroutine from updatingUi = false to updateUICoroutine = null

#

then you can remove the bool completly

#

makes sense?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

um yeah totally

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

near gazelle so `private Coroutine updateUICoroutine`

so here im making a new void?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:50 PM

#

they're not called void

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

oh

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

void is a return type for a method / function

#

means returns nothing

#

and no, nowhere did I make a function there

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

oh

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:51 PM

#

thats a variable / field

#

defined methods always need () and { }

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

near gazelle `if(updateUICoroutine != null) StopCoroutine(updateUICoroutine );` `updateUICoro...

where do i put this

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:52 PM

#

acoustic matrix where do i put this

replace it where the other startcoroutine and bool was

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:52 PM

after takedamage?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

yes

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

i replace it with the new one correct?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:53 PM

#

yea the whole part

#

instead of checking bool, its checking if a coroutine is already running (in this case not null since we set to null when its done)

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:54 PM

#

UpdatehealthUI is underlined in red

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:55 PM

#

fixed edit

#

I accidentally wrote StopCoroutine(MethodName) instead of StopCoroutine(theCoroutineVariable)

#

if(updateUICoroutine != null) StopCoroutine(updateUICoroutine); // stop any previous coroutine that may exist
updateUICoroutine = StartCoroutine(UpdateHealthUI()); //start new coroutine and assign it to variable ```

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 6:56 PM

#

so do i change "UpdatehealthUI" to updateUICoroutine ?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 6:57 PM

#

acoustic matrix so do i change "UpdatehealthUI" to updateUICoroutine ?

look at the example

yea oversight

#

you need there what? do you remember what goes inside UpdateHealthUI parenthesis ?

#

look at previous code if you must, but should be easy to figure out

#

it tells you in the error whats wrong

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

in the error message at the bottom it says "There is no argument given that corresponds to the required parameter 'duration' of 'playerHealth.UpdateHealthUI(float)

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:00 PM

#

correct. lets break down the error

#

do you know what method parameters are?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

yes its telling me theres nothing that corresponds with duration i think

#

right?

#

unless im wrong

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

the required parameter duration

#

its expecting duration with the type shown there

#

this function wants float for duration

#

you did not pass float for duration

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

so it needs a number for the duration

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

yes that would be duration a float number

#

didn't you have a variable there already

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:02 PM

#

do i put any number?

#

for duration?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:03 PM

ohhhh

so i can just put chipSpeed again?

yeah it comes with time(repetition actually) you can do the same

not even a crappy game from when you first started?

#

what did you do to learn?

they're just sitting on my harddrive just never really urged myself to post anything

#

maybe some jams I have on my itch, but they're mostly unfinished

were there any courses you used or anything

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:14 PM

#

in the beginning I used a few videos to get me specific things I needed, not the best way to learn

im trying to make a 2d platformer

#

its for a game jam that ends in 24 hours.... soooo theres that, but Im going to keep working on it even when the game jam is over

acoustic matrix

looks good, you can def knock the first 3

#

attac/currency also, maybe the UI stuff might be time consuming

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:22 PM

#

sorry can you rephrase that the comma is throwing me off

#

ohhh

#

nevermind

#

had a brain fart

#

i see what your saying

#

youre saying i can probably knock out currency system and attack, but the ui stuff will take long

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:23 PM

#

in the ToDo

#

maybe info card might be time consuming, would def try that last

#

enemy if you don't have it will take most of the time

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:24 PM

#

yeah that will be the last thing I do anyways because i will add more stuff and wouldnt really make sense to start now

#

enemy will take the most time?

#

why is that

#

i thought that would be easy

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:25 PM

#

I mean depends, AI can range from very simple to very complex depending on the game

#

does your enemy just go left and right or does it jump between plaforms etc.

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:25 PM

#

i just want simple enemies that try to attack me once im in a certain distance

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:25 PM

#

near gazelle does your enemy just go left and right or does it jump between plaforms etc.

oh my gosh i didnt think of that

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:26 PM

#

yeah platformers

#

the old school"mario style "ones are the easiest tho

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

yeah they just walk back and forth

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

yup

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

they dont even go for the player right? 😭

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

some doo in a very basic fasion yea

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

what like the turtle or something?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:27 PM

#

think like the Football player in the old school super mario (im really old lol)

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:28 PM

#

your not that old i know what the old marios are 😭

#

i loved the old marios when i was little

#

id had the new mario on my wii as a kid and my cousin had the old marios

#

i forgot how they are named but he had the 2nd one and the 3rd one

#

the 3rd is my favorite out of the 3

this is the one im thinking of

yup thats def one my top ones

super mario galaxy 1 is my favourite mario game of all time though

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:31 PM

yeah the 3D ones were trippy

that was the first game i ever got for my wii

i was like 3 or 4

never played it but i know what your talking about

PS1

it was gamecube

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:32 PM

gamecube is awsome

#

my cousin recently just bought a modded one

#

it has a ton of games on it and stuff

#

its super cool

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

Only liked it for the nintendo stuff, i liked ps2 / dreamcast better

#

Dreamcast and ps2 games were peak gaming

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:33 PM

#

im a little younger so i think ps3 games are better

#

like skate 2 and 3, minecraft ps3 edition stuff like that

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:34 PM

hehe yeah you guys had the nice graphics, still very good games but nothing compares. Maybe its nolstagia lenses haha

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:34 PM

nolstagia will always blind you

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:35 PM

sly cooper and ratchet n clank on ps2

#

so good

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

okay i forgot about ratchet and clank

#

i played that on psp

#

you literally just unlocked that memory

#

i forgot i had a psp

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:35 PM

#

haha yeah i might spin up my old psp

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

i want to animate the blue plart of my health bar btw to shrink as i use and abilty

#

like shrink inwards towards the middle

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

which bluepart ?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:37 PM

#

so i just do that by using localScale right?

#

the blue circle

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

oh thats not also an Image set to fill?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

no

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:38 PM

#

which part / how do you want to shrink it

#

im confused on that, cause if you wanted to slide that you can change fill amount to move from up/down

#

or you mean shrink as in ball gets smaller in size?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

i want the blue part to shrink into itself

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

near gazelle or you mean shrink as in ball gets smaller in size?

yes

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

oh then yea use the scale

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:39 PM

#

okay

#

i want it to scale down slowly as i use an abilty (not sure of the name yet) and once its at 0 i cant charge the ability anymore

#

then i need the blue to come back so i can reuse it

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:41 PM

#

same concept as fill slider

#

but apply it to the scale

#

so just a coroutine for animating it

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:42 PM

#

so i can basically just copy paste the code and change some things?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:42 PM

#

then instead you can do Vector3.Lerp

#

if its UI you probably want to scale sizeDelta of rect

#

then you can use Vector2.Lerp

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:44 PM

#

also how can I make that message go away

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:46 PM

#

acoustic matrix also how can I make that message go away

delete the variable, its unused as it says

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:47 PM

#

but then it messes with the code

#

oh wait

#

i lied

#

i didnt need it

#

i asked chat gpt to make this, would this work?
https://gdl.space/eporosinav.cs

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:51 PM

#

this is the playermovement script

#

also you should not use GPT

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:52 PM

#

near gazelle this is the playermovement script

idk why is keeps doing that

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:52 PM

#

you wont learn much from generating random code, also just fyi we're not really supposed to help with "AI" code .

near gazelle you wont learn much from generating random code, also just fyi we're not really ...

oh okay thank you

#

and yes i know its not a good way to learn

#

i just want to get as much progress before the game jam ends then i will take learning more seriously

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:53 PM

#

yeah but now it made this nonsense code

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

since there is only 22 hours left anymways

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

why use fill amount when goal was supposed to be changing scale inwards

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:54 PM

#

this is what i told chat gpt:
write me a code for unity that makes a circle in my UI shrink to nothing while im using an abilty, and when the circle shrinks to 0 i cant use the ability anymore and the circle slowly comes back

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:55 PM

#

its just bad cause it doesnt think or have any real context to the question, it just grabs whatever closest match to those words and code with it

#

its not actually creating any logic or anything

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

yeah

#

i read the code a little (i cant understand that much) and was questioning why it would fill instead of scale

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:56 PM

#

like I said earlier, the solution was just to clone the same thing you did with coroutine and fill Lerp for healthbar

#

instead of Lerp the fill amount, you lerp the sizeDelta of the RectTransform component (you need a reference)

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 7:57 PM

#

i totally understand if not but would you ever want to make a game together in the future, and you could do all the coding and i could do the art and music?

#

maybe for a game jam you enter or something

#

or if you ever just need a simple pixel art thing too you can dm me and ill make it for you

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 7:59 PM

#

If I have time yeah maybe a jam sure

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

okay yeah just DM me and lmk

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:00 PM

do you know how to make gameboy style art?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

like all green and stuff?

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:01 PM

#

just pixel art that size

#

or 1 bit art ?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

send like a reference picture so i know what you mean

#

oh you mean like 16 bit and 32 bit ect.. ??

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:02 PM

#

bit just the limts of color basically

#

1 bit would be 1 color

#

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

yeah but with like different shades and stuff right?

#

ohhh

#

you mean literally 1 color

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

because its limited to 1 bit

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:03 PM

#

um no i do not know how to do that

#

i could probably do it if i could shade the colors though kinda like this

#

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:07 PM

#

acoustic matrix

oh sure this one is also harder probably cause of different colors

#

they had a jam for 1 bit pixel though so just curious if you did that

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:08 PM

#

i mean i can still try though if you want

#

it would be good practice and you dont have to use my stuff

#

you can just like give me a request to make something and if you like it then you can use it

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

sure, are you using your own sprites in your jam ?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:09 PM

#

yes

#

i made the healthbar and player

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:11 PM

#

thats good. Do you animate as well?

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:12 PM

#

i havent done it yet, but i mean how hard can it be

#

its just redrawing the chracter each frame

#

if you want i can try to animate my current character and show you how it looks when its done

#

ill just make an idle animation

near gazelle Sep 28, 2024, 8:19 PM

#

no worries do what you need to do for the jam 😛

acoustic matrix Sep 28, 2024, 8:20 PM
