I made a thread for this

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:01 AM

#

cool

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:02 AM

#

Can you post screenshot of the RectTransform properties of both Canvases?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:02 AM

#

#

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:02 AM

#

which is Menu ?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:02 AM

#

bottom one

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:03 AM

#

Have you followed a guide to do this?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:03 AM

#

i have done this myself hehehe

#

i have always been terrible on ui

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:04 AM

#

Alright. Then tutorials are actually your best bet. However, maybe I can fix this in a few minutes.

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:04 AM

#

hopefully

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:05 AM

#

Z-axis positions
UI -3.619999
Menu 7.8

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

check your Camera's Z axis

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:06 AM

#

ah

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:07 AM

#

Menu is being rendered behind the UI
so I'm guessing it's not visible as well as not clickable?

#

unless your UI just isn't rendering anything in front of it

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:07 AM

#

menu is being rendered beside it

#

ill send a screen

#

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:08 AM

#

the Canvas still spans its length and height
invisible or not, when you click, you hit whichever canvas is on the front

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:08 AM

#

oh

#

so how do i make it work? do i just make one canvas instead?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

Cameras are usually at -10 on the Z axis

#

what is yours?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

i moved it to -57

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

the camera?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

yea

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

when did you move it?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:09 AM

#

hours ago

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

why?

#

are you using Cinemachine?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:10 AM

#

i wanted to make sure stuff is visible

#

what is cinemachine?

#

oh

#

nope

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:11 AM

#

Cinemachine is THE Camera package for Unity.
Just like standard UI Text is replaced by TextMeshPro, Cinemachine replaces the default Unity Camera, with a modern camera containing all sorts of functions that you then won't have to code yourself.

#

However

#

To clarify:

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:12 AM

#

i made the parent of both canvases a canvas just to try it, just now

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:13 AM

#

You should probably not have moved the camera as a solution
Cinemachine will adjust its own position based on what type of view you want.
However, that doesn't have to matter.

Right now, this is what you need to realize:

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:13 AM

#

alright

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:14 AM

#

Canvas is 2D
So all you have to do, is adjust the Z axis of your Menu canvas, to be between the UI and Camera

#

Z-axis positions
UI -3.619999
Menu 7.8
Camera -57

#

Menu should then be something like -4

#

or you can use Rendering Sorting Layer

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:15 AM

#

analog dust Menu should then be something like -4

this didnt work

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:15 AM

#

which I right now have forgot how to use or how works precisely

#

In that case - just follow a tutorial - they take less time than this conversation, and get you further 😆

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:15 AM

#

just a quick ques

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:15 AM

#

shoot :)

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:16 AM

#

would it work if i just use one canvas instead?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:16 AM

#

Probably, but I doubt it's practical in the long run, and I don't think it's necessary

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:17 AM

#

its so painful to run into a simple issue not code related after coding for 10 hours straight

#

but ima watch a video

#

thanks alot

#

😄 👍

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:18 AM

#

10 hours of coding is a lot. Best of luck man.
Have a nice day o/

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:18 AM

#

u too

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:19 AM

#

https://answers.unity.com/questions/790469/should-multiple-canvas-gameobject-ever-be-used-in.html

The drawbacks of only one canvas managing all game tasks (menu, health bars, hit marker, whatever) lead to more dependency in your project, to more confusion, to less maintainability, aka to code that tends to get a mess.

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

tyvm, i solved it, just had to delete all buttons and copy the other ones from second canvas that was workin

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

huh, do you know what was different?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

nope, but it worked

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

lol oh well

#

success \o/

#

Good stuff

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:36 AM

#

hahahahaha

#

like they say if it works dont touch it

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:37 AM

#

I prefer knowing how it's all put together, so I know I can recreate it if I mess up

#

results aren't my strong side lol

#

but quality is

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:37 AM

#

hahahahahaha

#

thats the most important

#

i dont rlly care for quality since im only creating an app to help my classmates thru the math

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

results drive motivation and diverse learning
but it's difficult to get a good grasp as a beginner
I found the way to understanding after a few years of tumbling in the dark

#

well in that case, results are your friends

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:38 AM

#

thats true

#

guess what this does

#

        {
       
            x1 = Mathf.Round(((-b - (Mathf.Sqrt(((b *  b) - 4 * a * c)))) / (2 * a)) * 100) * 0.01f;
            x2 = Mathf.Round(((-b + (Mathf.Sqrt(((b * b) - 4 * a * c)))) / (2 * a)) * 100) * 0.01f;
            Method = 1;
        }else if(c != 0)
        {
            x1 = Mathf.Round(((-b - (Mathf.Sqrt(((b * b) - 4 * a * c) * -1) * -1)) / (2 * a)) * 100) * 0.01f;
            x2 = Mathf.Round(((-b + (Mathf.Sqrt(((b * b) - 4 * a * c) * -1) * -1)) / (2 * a)) * 100) * 0.01f;
            Method = 2;
        }else

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:40 AM

#

hmm

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:41 AM

#

gl

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

I can't see precisely
You should not use integers in your calculations, as an int result is always floored if the formula returns a fraction
You should use double instead of float. It's more precise, and for weird reasons more performant.

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:42 AM

#

i dont think im using int

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

4 is an int

#

4f is a float

#

4d is a double

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

ah

#

ehh if it works

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

so if you have (4 / 3) it will be rounded down inside

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:43 AM

#

im scared to tocuh it bruh

#

it took me 3 days to get this code

#

to work

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

make a backup file

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

yolo

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:44 AM

#

the results could be wrong if you use ints

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

it is correct

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

at least cross-check that it works, if any of your encapsulated sub-formulas are supposed to produce a fraction

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

i have quadruple checked

#

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

alright

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:45 AM

#

but make a guess

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

inside Mathf.Sqrt
there is ((X/Y)*100)
make sure you test a case where X/Y = a decimal number (fraction)

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:47 AM

#

actually the *100 is outside the mathf.sqrt

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

oh well, derp, that doesn't change anything though

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:48 AM

#

but u still havent guessed xD

#

😂

#

cmon

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

it's been a long time since I was in a class room doing math
although I've spent over 7 years making all sorts of formulas in spreadsheets, I can't recognize what kind of formula that is.

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:49 AM

#

the quadratic formula

#

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:52 AM

#

I forget what this is used for lol

#

but alright, I should probably have recognized that, if I was any versed in math :P

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:53 AM

#

analog dust I forget what this is used for lol

it is used to get the x points where y = 0

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:54 AM

#

One pro tip for math

#

Use Spreadsheets

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

like excel?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

Learning math without using spreadsheets is torture

#

Yes

#

I use Google Sheets

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

how do spreadsheets help?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:55 AM

#

I learned math all over again by making spreadsheets for games

#

Spreadsheets make math fun, instead of tedious

#

because you can create an actual calculator with it

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

i can barely use them xd

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

and look through your math formulas in steps

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:56 AM

#

oh shit

#

thats a good idea

#

i gotta try that next time

#

might take me a day instead of 3

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:57 AM

#

Even after 7 years of active spreadsheet development, I always construct my formulas in steps, and only at the very end do I nest them into one cell (barely readable)

#

If you're going to use Google Sheets, you can DM me to ask for advice. I can teach you some basic stuff.

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:58 AM

#

debugging a unreadable formula sucks ass

#

i had to use a console app to debug my formula like 8 times

#

good thing tho

#

because version 1 was very bad

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

I've been having fun making a script for a week, and last night I solved an issue by visualizing the array indexes and contents in a spreadsheet

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 4:59 AM

#

what if some one made a program for making formulas

#

into code

#

theres an idea

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

#

it made me realize I needed index = index + index; for data and index = index + index + 1; for values

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:00 AM

#

pain?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

Yes. I am making a class to handle a single string as a container of 2D data

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

uhhh no clue what that is lmao

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:01 AM

#

without using any libraries

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

oh shit

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

holiday fun

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

wait so string to vector2?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

what?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

2d data is a vector2 no?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:02 AM

#

sullen plover what if some one made a program for making formulas

there are also some packages that integrate Unity with Google Sheets

#

I have actually not tried them yet

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

oh

#

that reminds me

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

sullen plover 2d data is a vector2 no?

not exactly, but abstractly kinda yeah

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:03 AM

#

this is v1

#

#

the shittiest program ever

#

like i cant belive i made something this bad

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

analog dust not exactly, but abstractly kinda yeah

i wish u luck

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:04 AM

#

sullen plover like i cant belive i made something this bad

why is it bad?

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

it looped thru the x values with for loops

#

totaling over 2k loops

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

sullen plover i wish u luck

full string A218G72AA309ABC123456
items A 218 G 72 AA 309 ABC 123456

I can access them by index, as an array

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:05 AM

#

wtf no way

#

thats awesome

#

u gotta show me how u do it sometime

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:06 AM

#

https://gdl.space/gazowaxuja.cs

#

SetData is a work in progress

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:07 AM

#

what is $ in cs?

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:08 AM

#

$"This is a string which can output {variableName} to the string, without combining multiple strings"

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

oohhhh

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

string = @"This one includes
line breaks and white spaces


."

#

they can be combined

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:09 AM

#

now i know

#

anyway i really have to sleep now

#

its 6 am for me

analog dust Dec 29, 2021, 5:10 AM

#

Good night, and good luck o/

sullen plover Dec 29, 2021, 5:10 AM
