#Yes but sorting is different in runtime

I don't think it's obscured by other objects. When I hit play, I can move it if i select it in the hierarchy, but it is invisible. Sorry english isn't my first language

if (Mathf.Floor(Player.position.x) == point) // if the random point and player pos are at the same place

Replace that if-statement's expression with Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.X)

The "...Random.Range(Player.position.x + distmax..." causes your point to always be further away than your maxdistance. Be aware of that!

 IEnumerator apparition()
    {
        while(true){
           point = Mathf.Floor(Random.Range(Player.position.x + distmax, Player.position.x + (distmax*2))); // random point between the player and max distance
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(10);// change point every 10 sec
        }
    }```

You can test the conceptual solution, without any possible interference or derp from the expression logic

ohh okay wait i'll go eat and then try it

#

thank you

Mathf.Floor() will round the number down to the nearest integer, which means point must always be an integer. It would be better to use something akin to Mathf.Approximately() or a custom one which allows you to adjust tolerance. (unless an integer is fine)

Set Apparition time to 30-60 while testing (for the update stuff)

#

It would also be better to write the if with >= instead of ==. Just to prevent you overshooting for some reason.

rapid vault
#

Most people will tell you: Don't == floats. Use Mathf.Approximately()

Because floats are not real numbers, they are scientific notations that have a lot of issues to look out for when diving deeper.

Even if you mathematically calculate two positions to become the same, the result might be different.

#

The most obvious limitation of floats is that they have a finite set of digits that they use to express both whole numbers and fractions.

1.000000
10.00000
100.0000
1000.000
10000.00

#

higher value leads to lower precision

#

if you made anything depend on Time.time instead of Time.deltaTime
it would start skipping frames after about 3 hours (if I recall correctly; not really important).

spring gazelle
#

I updated and it looks like that now, idk if I did it right

rapid vault
#

Yes, then I'm fairly confident of what is wrong.

spring gazelle
# 
void Update(){

        if (Mathf.Approximately(point, Player.position.x)) // if the random point and player pos are at the same place
        {
            QuestionZone.SetActive(true); // display panel
            Time.timeScale = 0f; //block movement
            qsPaused = true; // and ask a question
        }

    }

spring gazelle
#

okay wait

rapid vault
#

I have an idea

spring gazelle
#

tell me

rapid vault
#

point is always ahead of player.position.x
and point is a float

# 
if (point - player.position.x <= 0f)
#

However

#

Or, I'm not sure this matters, but once the player reaches this point
the code within the if-statement will run every single frame

so you can add the following

# 
if (QuestionZone.activeInHierarchy == false && point - player.position.x <= 0f)
if (!QuestionZone.activeInHierarchy && point - player.position.x <= 0f)
spring gazelle
#

where do I add them

rapid vault
#

I mean change the if-statement

#

there is only one example
but the second line is a shorter way of writing == false

spring gazelle
#

ohh okay okay let me try

#

thank you for your time

rapid vault
#

You're welcome. I have to go soon.

spring gazelle
#

don't worry

#

oh my-

#

thank you so much

#

it worked

#

thank you really

rapid vault
#

Good stuff. You're welcome.
Have a nice day :)

spring gazelle
#

Have a nice day too !

rapid vault
#

PS:
(point - player.position.x <= 0f)
This means it only works in one direction

If you want to adapt it, you might need to get creative.

spring gazelle
#

ahaha yeah i got it thank you so much

spring gazelle
#

Hi again @rapid vault 🥲

So I have like my csv file that is now in my unity script and all, and now I want to use a random Country (so "Pays" in the script)
Like, I want to call it, but in another script, but idk how

So this is the script with the csv file loaded in:

public class LoadQuestion : MonoBehaviour
{
    List<Titres> Questions  = new List<Titres>();

    void Start()
    {
        TextAsset Country = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("Country");

        string[] data = Country.text.Split(new char [] {'\n'});

        for (int i = 1; i < data.Length - 1; i++)
        {
            string [] row = data[i].Split(new char[] {','});

            Titres q = new Titres();
            q.Pays = row[0];
            q.Capitale = row[1];

            Questions.Add(q);
        }
    }
}

And then this is the script where I want to call a random "Pays"

    LoadQuestion loadquestion;
    [SerializeField] GameObject Box;

    void Start()
    {
        loadquestion = Box.GetComponent<LoadQuestion>();

I'm not familiar with the lists in c# but I've worked with python lists at school
