@drowsy jolt anyways what do you so far know how to do? I find it pretty unlikely that the teacher has given you an exam and hasn’t taught simple movement/input yet

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 12:59 AM

#

if i could show how bad he is at teaching i would

#

he does not mind going through a heavy amount of code without a shred of explanation

#

hey listen is there any way i could show you the code he gave us ? i m very desperate

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

I mean up to you, I’m still fairly surprised that he has done an exam already if he hasn’t taught anything :/

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

could i even call you ? and screen share ?

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

You’ll need a rigidbody on your paddle and disable gravity on it

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:02 AM

#

drowsy jolt could i even call you ? and screen share ?

Sorry I’m in a busy spot

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

yeah thought it was a long shot

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

polar maple You’ll need a rigidbody on your paddle and disable gravity on it

Do this first

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

ill show you the code he gave us tho

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

Sure

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:03 AM

#

📎 message.txt

#

i tried to paste it

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:05 AM

#

Well he’s given you a lot of ToDos

#

First you need to get input working

#

Search up how to get the keys of A and D

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:11 AM

#

i have but i dont understand when i put them they never work

#

i looked up code but i dont understand visual keeps telling me that stuff is not being used or other things i dont understand

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:12 AM

#

For input (a and d button presses)
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Input.GetKeyDown.html

#

Do you know how to use that?

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:13 AM

#

no clue i found this earlier i pasted it and something went wrong

#

i tried to understand but im just stuck because of concepts i dont understand yet

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

I mean my teacher mostly expects us to Google anything that I don’t understand so maybe yours is doing the same

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:14 AM

#

drowsy jolt i tried to understand but im just stuck because of concepts i dont understand ye...

Look at the example

#

In the docs

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

i understand it by itself

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:15 AM

#

Does it make sense or should I explain it

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

i dont get the void update monbehaviour but i understand the gist of it

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

Ok there’s another variation of GetKeyDown called GetKey. The difference is that GetKeyDown only runs once while GetKey will always run as long as it’s held down. We will be using GetKey

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:16 AM

#

drowsy jolt i dont get the void update monbehaviour but i understand the gist of it

It runs every frame

#

Basically

#

Put if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) { //some code } under the first TODO

#

Anything inside that if statement will run

#

As long as A is held down

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

do i right the { //some code } ?

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

drowsy jolt do i right the { //some code } ?

Do you know what the // is?

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

no

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

Really?

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

yes

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

…

#

I feel like the teacher would’ve explained that

dapper kite Jan 6, 2022, 1:18 AM

#

// comment and /* comment */ are comment syntax

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:19 AM

#

oh but he hasn't

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:19 AM

#

What has he taught you?

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:20 AM

#

nothing literally i think he's getting fired soon but i still to pass the exams

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

Exams are something that would happen at minimum a week or 2 after the class first begins. Also c# is something that the teacher probably expects for you to learn on your free time

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

drowsy jolt nothing literally i think he's getting fired soon but i still to pass the exams

But anyways do you know how to format an if statement

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

yes

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:21 AM

#

Ok show me

#

I’m on my phone so I can only send one line ones

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:22 AM

#

i know how to explain the if in spoken language but not in code

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:23 AM

#

How did your teacher expect you to learn c#

#

On your own or in class

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:25 AM

#

i ll try and give you the big picture im in a game design school and i have two seperate teachers one that teaches unity specificaly and one that teaches algorithm all the things i learn has been taught to me in algorithm however the unity teacher does not care if we understand or not he just goes on with his lesson as if anyone was understanding a thing he said

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:27 AM

#

Anyways:

if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A)
{
// insert your rb movement code
Debug.Log(“Running code”);
}

#

If you put that in FixedUpdate or update then it’ll print “Running code” as long as you hold down A

#

@drowsy jolt does that make sense?

#

What do you think you’d put inside. You are now detecting the button press A. What do you think the next step is

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:28 AM

#

im thinking

#

do the same with the left ?

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:29 AM

#

Well yes, but let’s focus on left movement for now

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

drowsy jolt do the same with the left ?

Right now you can detect the button A. What’s the next step

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

ummm

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:30 AM

#

You might be a bit confused:
When the player presses A, what do you want the game to do?

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

i would like for the avatar to be moving to the right

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:31 AM

#

Alright, we are going to move it through Rigidbody2D

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

so we are moving the avatar thanks to rigidbody ?

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:32 AM

#

Yes

#

paddle.velocity = new Vector2(-1,0);

Will move the object to the left if you put it in the if statement. Do you have any questions on it?

#

No inside the if statement

#

We only want that code to run when A is being pressed

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:35 AM

#

wait let my try again

#

when i type it in chat it vanishes

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:37 AM

#

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

my bad

#

so I type the paddle velocity inside of the {

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:38 AM

#

Yes

#

Try the code does it work?

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:39 AM

#

im trying now

#

it says that running cod e has no context ?

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:40 AM

#

Send a screenshot

#

There’s a million reasons why that could happen

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

it's in french so im trying to translate

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

That’s fine

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:41 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:42 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Delete the Debug.Log

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:42 AM

#

done

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Also move the if statement under the TODO

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:43 AM

#

done

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

Run it again

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:44 AM

#

wait no i must ve made a mistake

#

what statment am i getting rid off ?

#

i got rid of something and it went all redish

#

i misread

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:45 AM

#

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:46 AM

#

ohhh

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:47 AM

#

You missed the {}

#

And delete (“Running code”);

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

If statements have 2 {}

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:49 AM

#

polar maple Anyways: if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.A) { // insert your rb movement code Debug.Lo...

.

#

Tbh I really don’t have to explain all these things :/

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:50 AM

#

i feel so dumb rn

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

Ok what have you done so far

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:51 AM

#

Ok that’s good so far

#

Now we need the {

#

After the if statement

#

if ()
{
// do you see what you are missing?
}

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:53 AM

#

i m looking into it rn

#

i dont see which one is missing

#

i have found some ) missing tho

#

i have added those

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:54 AM

#

#

Do you see what you are missing

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:55 AM

#

drowsy jolt i have found some ) missing tho

Yes I missed that but you are missing a {

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:55 AM

#

it worked it worked it worked !!!!!

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:55 AM

#

Ok is the code working now

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:55 AM

#

i pressed a and it move left

#

moved

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:56 AM

#

Ok good

#

Now copy the whole if statement

#

And paste a new one directly under it

#

All you should need to do is change A to D and -1 to 1

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:58 AM

#

has not worked for D

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:58 AM

#

Screenshot it

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 1:58 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 1:59 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Move the if statement under the other if statement

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Looks like he meant for us to use input axis horizontal but that’s not important they basically do the same thing

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Tell me when you moved it

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:00 AM

#

i dont understand where to move it

#

isnt it already below

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:02 AM

#

drowsy jolt isnt it already below

#

Also the blue dot 🔵 , you are missing a {

#

if statements run anything inside them. Since Input D is only inside Input A it’ll only run when A is being held down which is counter productive

#

You need it on the outside

#

Tell me when you’ve done it

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

i have done it

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

Does the code work

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:04 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:05 AM

#

Delete the ❌’s

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:06 AM

#

Undo it

#

You deleted too much

#

ctrl z and look at what I ❌’d out

#

Delete anything inside the red

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:09 AM

#

I dont know what i have done

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:10 AM

#

Ok let’s move Input D under Input A

#

We’re back to this step:

line 71 the word public does not work

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:15 AM

Close your fixed update

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:17 AM

i will try

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:20 AM

#

#

Ignore the red line

#

Let me know when you’ve done it. There’s something else you have to do afterwards

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

ok

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:22 AM

#

polar maple

Basically put a } at where the blue dot is on the picture

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

i have done it

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:23 AM

#

Screenshot so far

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:24 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:25 AM

Ok make sure you do this next step correctly

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:26 AM

#

yes

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

#

Delete the red

#

Also I want you to move the blue to that new spot

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:28 AM

#

surgical precision

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

Show me a screenshot when you are done

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:29 AM

#

yes

#

pls tell me i did it

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

You got the red deleted

#

Now move the blue

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

i thought i did

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:32 AM

#

You need to move the input code outside the GameManager if Statement but keep it inside the FixedUpdate

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:33 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:33 AM

#

Yes and move it under the next }

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:34 AM

#

Good

#

Try running the code

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

error line 130

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

Can you show the line

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:35 AM

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:36 AM

#

You’re probably missing a } somewhere if I had to guess or deleted a { somewhere

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:36 AM

#

is there a way to know where

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:37 AM

#

Well normally you’d look at the code to know where but I can’t see it

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:37 AM

#

#

#

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:39 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Delete the } without the dotted line

#

That might fix it

#

In the first image

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

A and D make it move to the left

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:40 AM

#

drowsy jolt

Change Input D to 1 instead of -1

#

Second image

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:42 AM

#

it it works

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:42 AM

#

I can’t help anymore

/* @TODO: give an angle to the ball. For example depending on distance to center (or alike)... */

I have no idea how to do that, as much as I might seem to be experienced with unity, I’m still a student

#

You could maybe try researching other ways or ask your teacher via email but I wouldn’t know where to start

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

dude i dont expect you to help me any more than you already have i am extremely thankful for your help honestly thank you thank you thank you !!!

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:45 AM

#

Yeah, maybe try asking your teacher if you can. He’ll probably help you out

#

Or you could try searching for a way online if you feel uncomfortable with that but I’d have no idea what to search

drowsy jolt Jan 6, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

i actually had a row with him in class because i asked to many questions to which he would not answer

polar maple Jan 6, 2022, 2:46 AM

#

There’s probably some tutorials online that you could try watching to figure something out
