[astral basin]

i changed void to function and Debug.Log to console.log and now it's js

you can put it into your browser console

[hasty bane]

alright

[astral basin]

however

my example is totally flawed in javascript

if i remember correctly

ah i remember what it was

yeah it's totally flawed in javascript

it has a completely different behaviour

var i just takes the last i actually

[hasty bane]

hm

[astral basin]

so it seemed to work the same way as in c#

but that's because i was setting var i = 0

but that's misleading

function someMethod() {
    {
        var i = 0;
        i++;
        console.log(i);
    }
    // i DOES exist here
    {
        var i; // this i is NOT a new var
        i--;
        console.log(i);
    }
    // i DOES exist here
    var i; // this i is NOT a new var
    i++;
    console.log(i);
}
someMethod();

i remember debugging something that fell for this

you expected a local scope like in c# but it actually took over the var from the previous scope

deadly

in javascript it's called shadowing i think

so you have global scope, local scope and variable shadowing

different concept as in c#

[fiery egret]

What's the difference between int and float

0.1

[wet girder]

intergers are whole values and floating points can have decimals

[fiery egret]

I was making a corny coding joke

I knew I'm just lonely

[fiery egret]

It was like if you take a float = 1.1
And you subtract it by a int = 1

And I remember the "difference" in math also meant subtracting

[hoary hound]

[fiery egret]

I wrote that backwards 🤦🏿‍♂️

[north dune]

and then there's actual decimal type which no one uses

[orchid frigate]

what code needs 28 digits to function

[keen shell]

not even nasa

[fierce epoch]

ok

[orchid frigate]

ok so

[fierce epoch]

public Rigidbody2D rb;

this

is a variable

[orchid frigate]

yes

this is a refrence

[fierce epoch]

creating a variable

[orchid frigate]

to a rigidbody

2d

[fierce epoch]

and is using the reference Rigidbody

[orchid frigate]

yes

[fierce epoch]

2d

yes

so

[orchid frigate]

that too

[fierce epoch]

if i'm using this script

on an object that doesn't have the Rigidbody2D, i will get an error ?

[orchid frigate]

as long as it doesnt have switch and enum i will understand the script

[fierce epoch]

._.

[orchid frigate]

no

[fierce epoch]

why

[orchid frigate]

because you are referencing a rigidbody

not the rigidody

you could put the script on a cube with no rigidbody and refrence it to another cube

[fierce epoch]

yes but using this script on an object i'll reference it to the rigidbody2d of this object ?

[fierce epoch]

i don't understand how this is possible

[orchid frigate]

ok so here is an example

[fierce epoch]

ok

wait

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float movementSpeed;
    public Rigidbody2D rb;

    float mx;

    private void Update()
    {
        mx = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 movement = new Vector2(mx * movementSpeed, rb.velocity.y);

        rb.velocity = movement;
    }
}

let's say i have this

[orchid frigate]

public RigidBody2D rb;

[fierce epoch]

i'll reference to the rigidbody of the object with this script

[orchid frigate]

ok ait wrong thing

[fierce epoch]

not the rigidbody of another object

?

[orchid frigate]

yes

when you put public

[fierce epoch]

pand

panda

wait

i need to verify worldbox update

[orchid frigate]

where the script is there should be a little window where there is a refrrence to the rigidbody

for the rigidbody*

then you drag teh rigidbody into that window

doesnt matter from what object

and boom

[orchid frigate]

lemme show you something else

using UnityEngine;

public class Movement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float moveSpeed = 1;
    public Vector2 moveVelocity;
    public Rigidbody2D rigidbody1;
    void Update()
    {
        Vector2 moveInput = new Vector2(Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal"), Input.GetAxisRaw("Vertical"));
        moveVelocity = moveInput.normalized * moveSpeed;
        rigidbody1.MovePosition(rigidbody1.position + moveVelocity * Time.fixedDeltaTime);
         
        
        
    }
}

very very basic movement script

usually i use character controller but here i cant use that

as i need to have colliders and triggers and yatty yatty yatta

the point is

idk what it is

also if you want a combat script or atleast a representation of one i can give one to you

[north dune]

bUt WhAt If My CoNtRoLlEr IsNt PlUgGeD iN

or is that taking mouse axis

wouldnt think so but

[orchid frigate]

you plug it in by using unity's attachment system :)

suprisingly enough this is working just as well as if i were to use character controller

[north dune]

i think its almost the same code for 3d mod camera rotating

seems simple and perfect

[orchid frigate]

kinda i think

the camera rotating in 3d is complicated

using alot of math and stuff

[north dune]

naw

sec

well i mean.. behind the native unity functions yeah probably

but its about as easy as what you showed

[orchid frigate]

the cool thing about it is that you dont have the code that yourself

[north dune]

exactly

[orchid frigate]

you can use the...

thing

for camera

i dont remember its name

[north dune]

float x = rotationRate * Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y");
float y = rotationRate * -Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");
Camera.main.transform.Rotate(x, y, 0);

[orchid frigate]

machinima camera controller

ay that works too actually

[north dune]

downside is if you want extra stuff like angle locking... THAT you have to make yourself

[fiery egret]

Could I make a rigid body move by mouse instead of the normals controls on the keyboard? Like a floaty type movement.

[north dune]

i think you could use what i just showed right?

Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y"); and Input.GetAxis("Mouse X");

instead of the axis you used before

[orchid frigate]

the horizontal and vertical ones?

[north dune]

yeah

[orchid frigate]

i cant

[keen shell]

public class DragObject : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Vector3 screenPoint;
    private Vector3 offset;

    void OnMouseDown()
    {
        screenPoint = Camera.main.WorldToScreenPoint(gameObject.transform.position);

        offset = gameObject.transform.position - Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, screenPoint.z));

    }

    void OnMouseDrag()
    {
        Vector3 curScreenPoint = new Vector3(Input.mousePosition.x, Input.mousePosition.y, screenPoint.z);

        Vector3 curPosition = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(curScreenPoint) + offset;
        transform.position = curPosition;

    }
}

I used that

[orchid frigate]

because im not changing the camera, im changing the movement of the player

i mean i could

but then the player would move whenever the mouse moves

[north dune]

well thats what the guy was asking

[north dune]

this question

sorry it was a little confusing lol

[orchid frigate]

ah that question

i didnt understand it at first but now i do

yea im pretty sure that how you do it

[fiery egret]

Phone died before I got to read cody's response

[fiery egret]

I was thinking of making a physics-based weapon that's controlled by the mouse that interacts with destructible objects like a wrecking ball connected to the cursor

[orchid frigate]

ah this seems interesting

it would be a really cool weapon

[fiery egret]

I wanted to try something new. Maybe I might add tiny NPCs that will try to break the weapon or react

[orchid frigate]

in their attempt to break the weapon they will be demolished lol, this sounds really cool

[fiery egret]

I got inspired by kick the buddy game and wanted to "expand it"

[orchid frigate]

kick the buddy is amazing in terms of weapon ideas, but the physics on there arent all that great

i mean they arent bad

[fierce epoch]

nice there is still a conv here

i need to ask something

[orchid frigate]

but there are some things that can be improved

ask away

[fierce epoch]

is doing something working on a server

so

online

hard

[orchid frigate]

i have never made an online game

so cant help there

[keen shell]

Cody might be interested to take part in this conversation

[orchid frigate]

yes

[keen shell]

he did online stuff for worldbox

[fiery egret]

I heard it's a new hell from a friend but other than that's out of my knowledge.

[orchid frigate]

to my knowladge he is working on sowmthing similar

[fiery egret]

What online stuff?

[orchid frigate]

im thinking of streaming some coding here, but dont know if i should

because not many people are interested in coding

[keen shell]

@north dune

[fiery egret]

I think it'll be pretty cool

[fiery egret]

I meant what was the online stuff cody was doing

[orchid frigate]

not sure i just know he is working on somehting similar

[fiery egret]

What if two or more online gods made separate civilizations and set them to war to see who would win. That sounds cool in my head

[orchid frigate]

it would be cool yea

[north dune]

oh

[fiery egret]

People would probably cheat with bubble though

[north dune]

working on an online mod that syncs up many actions/interactions

[fiery egret]

Cool

[north dune]

so far its smooth but ill run into a wall at some point with performance and then the fun really starts

[fierce epoch]

cody

[north dune]

mod is also very easily converted to other games

ive already tested connecting from one game to another, can send commands/chat messages just the same

[fierce epoch]

how are you doing the connection

using a server

the pc ?

[north dune]

unet, peer to peer/pc is server yes

[fierce epoch]

hmm ok

[fiery egret]

So basically you'll run into a point where your code is either too slow or messed up because you lost track of something?

[fierce epoch]

and is it taking much resources ?

[north dune]

the idea right now is for one world/computer to host and be the facilitator of commands for everything else

[fierce epoch]

cuz i want to make a game based on a game i did on Discord

but the fact is that discord is hosting the game

so

[north dune]

more like ill run into a point where my packets/commands are being spammed too much or some other weird problem with them

[fierce epoch]

there is so many stuff i'm wondering cuz damn idk how to start

[north dune]

very slightly more than a normal game

not noticable difference yet

but i cant speak on the ping/lag, i have only tested local connections

[fiery egret]

Ah I see

[north dune]

and one single online test

[fierce epoch]

hmmm

[north dune]

which was early, before there were any commands/actions being done

the source for this mod will be public as soon as im comfortable posting the mod itself

[fiery egret]

How do you deal with that problem tho?

[north dune]

currently im sending commands as strings that get converted into commands and parameters on the clients

theres bound to be plenty of ways to optimize how that happens

client does an action like click to place a radius of dirt
client sends this action to the host so the host will mirror it on everyone elses client
host parses the action, executes it on host world, relays it forward
other clients parse the action, execute it on their world, send a response if necessary

im relatively confident so far but eventually something will come up

[fierce epoch]

cody

do you know any place i can find cool texture

other place than unity asset store

[north dune]

Not really, most of the stuff I've played around with husband off of Google searches and not exactly legal all the time

Has been*

[orchid frigate]

so anyone have any idea for how i can randomize what items spawn if i have ALOT of items, kind of like in binding of isaac? i can think of some ways but they would require me to go over every item

[fierce epoch]

i would have an idea

but like

with my python knowledge

i guess it's also possible in C sharp

where do you store your items

[orchid frigate]

my first idea was to give every item a tag that is a single digit, make a random intrange and whatever item i get i instantiate

[fierce epoch]

items

[orchid frigate]

this scares me, dont tell me i will have to write out every single one in a script or something

[fiery egret]

I was thinking maybe making a list method that generates random items but that can get complicated easily. I summon the coding goat @north dune

[fierce epoch]

yes i would gave them a tag, put all tags in a list and then use a random module to get a random int and use this int as index

[orchid frigate]

we shouldnt ping him this freely,after all he probably has his own work

[fierce epoch]

or just give them a tag

a number

and random int something

[orchid frigate]

the problem is

right

the instantiating part

[north dune]

list.GetRandom?

list of item names or whatever, then pick one at random before doing what you need

[fiery egret]

haydot need help with spawning a lot of random items binding Isaac style

[orchid frigate]

because i get this random number, i get what item i want but then how do i instantiate it, how do i get its name

my first thought was that it would have a very simple single digit name

that is the same as its tag

[orchid frigate]

hmmm interesting i will try that

[north dune]

because i get this random number, i get what item i want but then how do i instantiate it, how do i get its name
why cant the name be the number? if you need a different string to display for like a name tag or something, give it a new ID string or something

if the name = number, you could just do like you already said and random a number and get the item from that, which is a bit easier than list.GetRandom

and i promise im not a great coder, i give shit advice plenty often, ask @keen shell how many times ive wasted his time

lmao

[fiery egret]

Hahaha

[north dune]

take what i say with grains of salt and google often

[fiery egret]

Google is built different

[north dune]

why cant the name be the number? if you need a different string to display for like a name tag or something, give it a new ID string or something
worldbox uses libraries like this

you could have a similar library of items that applies an id/number as theyre set up

[fiery egret]

Haydot is typing a essay in MLA format

[north dune]

if you mean me i dont mind at all, if im busy i just wont respond

will respond eventually most of the time

[orchid frigate]

so it would work sorta like this:

void OnCollisionEnter(Collider2D collider){
  if(collider.gameObject.tag == "player"){
    public IntRange item = new IntRange(0, itemCount);
    Instantiate(dont know how to get the name here, transform.position);

[north dune]

yes

exactly

i dont use object.instantiate like ever, so i dont have any advice on using it :/

the times ive used it i already had an object to copy from, if im creating a new object id do it differently

[orchid frigate]

alright well you guys helped me enough, i just need to figuere out how to put the name in there and i will almost be free from this script

[north dune]

hell yeah

[orchid frigate]

then i have to make the 10 times more compicated script

which is generating rooms and dungeons

[keen shell]

Lmao I never agree that you wasted my time but that's because we always have nice conversations in between and afterwards and it never truly goes wasted because you helped me keep going and be motivated to try other things

[north dune]

youre too sweet to say i wasted your time with the attempt at code help

haha

conversations are always nice either way, but all those times im like "do this! try that! maybe this is a better idea" and it was just a fail

[orchid frigate]

talking to people about code is always nice while coding, it gives you motivation to keep going and lets you take a break from all those floats and ints

[north dune]

for sure

just writing out what my problem is helps me figure it out a lot

will start bitching to someone and stuff will click while im typing to them

[fierce epoch]

this is very true

[cedar plinth]

what programming language is used in world box?

[north dune]

c#

[cedar plinth]

nice

[knotty root]

007!help

[broken elm]

Ha

[wary flax]

Hippity Hoppity, your code is now our property

[bold rover]

You're not wrong...Most coding work is just Borrowing other people codes (Mostly in AI, ML development)

[north dune]

most of the things you think or do have been done before, same goes for code
for some things its way better to use someone elses work than redo it all

[bold rover]

You have other problems then questioning if it fine to use someone else code...So Yeah, You do you

[fierce epoch]

why can't i use a double in Vector2

[barren shale]

Cuz they take more memory and the accuracy isnt needed in game development

At least that's what i think

[fierce epoch]

hmm

i'm new to C sharp and i can't find how to move something smoothly without using Force

[barren shale]

2d or 3d ?

[fierce epoch]

2d

[barren shale]

What do you mean move smoothly

Like doesn't stop immediately

Or is it just jittering when its moving and u dont want that

[fierce epoch]

i mean

when i use translate

for example

my object is just teleporting

not moving

[barren shale]

And why is that a problem

[fierce epoch]

i'm just looking for it, now for a dumb example but i want to make it later for something else

for example

The script will move an object to the left

for like

16

from x 0 to x 16 for example

[barren shale]

So

First you need to multiply the movment speed by deltatime

Do you know what that is

?

[fierce epoch]

yes

[barren shale]

Then you can just use translate

Make the number small so it looks smooth

[fierce epoch]

welp let me send a very very little code

[barren shale]

U can make it like a velocity and add a decay for a delayed stop

And i suggest making your own collision system

[fierce epoch]

this is

uh

the thing

it's very small and don't mind why i run the code on a collision event

using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float movementSpeed;
    public Rigidbody2D rb;

    float mx;

    private void Update()
    {
        mx = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
    }

    private void FixedUpdate()
    {
        Vector2 movement = new Vector2(mx * movementSpeed, rb.velocity.y);

        rb.velocity = movement;
    }

    void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
    {
        print("Test");
        transform.translate(-16, 0, 0)
    }
}

i think this was my code

[barren shale]

Youre not using deltatime

[fierce epoch]

idk how to use it correctly

[barren shale]

Just multiply the speed by it

And you dont need the collision event

Because you're using a rigid body and velocity

[fierce epoch]

no i mean

i'm using the collision because

i want my object to go on the left when it collides with the ground

but

it's just to test

[barren shale]

Oooh

U want it to go to the left smoothly

[fierce epoch]

yes

[barren shale]

Hmm

So when it touches the ground

You want it to go to the left

[fierce epoch]

yes

[barren shale]

Cant you just override the velocity

[fierce epoch]

it's just a cube

[fierce epoch]

wdym

[barren shale]

Make the velocity -16,0

[fierce epoch]

so

uh

rb.velocity = ... (-16, 0, 0)

?

[barren shale]

Yeah

But multiply that by deltatime

Always

So it's the same every time

Or no

Wait

[fierce epoch]

ye ?

it's not like

Time.deltaTime ?

[barren shale]

Yea

But you dont have to use it

On velocities

[fierce epoch]

i mean idk why i would use it yeah

[barren shale]

Just when you're mocing the object directly

Im a bit rusty with unity

Its been like 1 year

[fierce epoch]

i know it's probably wrong

but

this

what do i put before

the

(

)

[barren shale]

New vector3

Or 2

Not 3

[fierce epoch]

but if i'm in 2d i could use Vector2

yes

okey

[barren shale]

Now theres a problem with this

[fierce epoch]

yes

[barren shale]

If you try to move while its throwing you to the left

You will stay on the ground

[fierce epoch]

i got an error anyway

[barren shale]

What does it say

[barren shale]

You forgot new

[fierce epoch]

ohhh ye

i'm dumb

sorry

[barren shale]

Don't worry youre still new it will click one day

Even to this day i use ; in python

I cant stop

[fierce epoch]

i'm from python

so

i always forget the ";"

[barren shale]

And the {}

[fierce epoch]

ye

[barren shale]

Instead of tabs

[fierce epoch]

oh well now i have no errors but it ain't moving

let me just

[barren shale]

Does it say test

[fierce epoch]

see if i cannot change some properties of the ground

yes

[barren shale]

But its not moving

Oh

So ehen you dont click any key

The mx is 0

So every frame

Your velocity is being set to 0

So even when u change it

It will be back at 0

That's why

When i make 2D games i dont use unity physics

So

Hmm

[fierce epoch]

oh no

my keys are working very well

but the collider script not really

😄

[barren shale]

Yea i know

Wait

Lemme think a bit

Ok

So

You have to delete everything in the script

Rework time

Did you do that?

[fierce epoch]

._.

so i delete everything ?

i mean there is not many stuff in it

but why

[barren shale]

Rework

Thats what rework mean

Instead of using a rigidbody

Which is bad in 2d

You're gonna make you're own collision and movement system

[fierce epoch]

i'm a beginner though

[barren shale]

Its not that hard

First

You need your horizontal and vertical velocity

Just make two floats

Hs and vs

Or what ever u wanna name them

[fierce epoch]

public i guess

[barren shale]

Private

Actually

[fierce epoch]

ah

why

[barren shale]

Because you're not gonna access them from outside the class

And go to your object

In the inspection tab

And make the rigidbody

[fierce epoch]

okey

[barren shale]

Kinematic

[fierce epoch]

what's the difference between kinematic and static

static don't move

and kinematic isn't impact by gravity ?

[barren shale]

Yea static dont move

[barren shale]

Idk i forgot

That's why i want to ask you

Does it still fall?

[fierce epoch]

nope

[barren shale]

Nice

Saves work

Now make a public float

Or two

One is called speed

And the other is called gravity

Set them to one

Youre gonna chnage them after

[fierce epoch]

ok

[barren shale]

Now lets make it fall

[fierce epoch]

so

vertical force

[barren shale]

So gravity adds up as you fall

But

It doesnt keep adding up

There's a terminal speed

You might wann add another float called terminal speed

All done and ready to implement gravity?

[fierce epoch]

i'm following your instructions for now and trying to understand what i'm doing

[barren shale]

You will get it more when we finish

So

[fierce epoch]

is this what you wanted sir

[barren shale]

Yes indeed

[fierce epoch]

[barren shale]

So

void Update()

Add the update method

Dont forget the {}

[fierce epoch]

what does that mean

is method in C# = Functions in Python

?

lol

[barren shale]

Yes

[fierce epoch]

ok

[barren shale]

But the update method is implemented by unity

It runs once every frame

[fierce epoch]

ye

btw

what's the difference between FixedUpdate and Update

[barren shale]

Update runs every frame

[fierce epoch]

i have heard FixexUpdate is better for physics stuff

[barren shale]

FixedUpdate runs every 0.2 seconds

So its frame independent

Which makes it better for physics indeed

[fierce epoch]

oh ok

[barren shale]

But we are going to use deltatime so it doesnt matter

[fierce epoch]

okey

[barren shale]

Ok

So

Every frame

You add the gravity to vertical speed

So it will look something like
vs += gravity;

[fierce epoch]

i just like in update put : c vs += gravity;

?

[barren shale]

Yes

[fierce epoch]

it i do gravity the vertical speed will increase everytime

no ?

[barren shale]

Yes

But dont worry about that

Now

Lets see if its working

After adding the gravity

Write

Transform.Translate(new Vector2(0, vs));

Done?

[fierce epoch]

yes

[barren shale]

Now run it

You will notice

That youre object is going up

And it becomes very fast

Is that what happened ?

[fierce epoch]

no i got an error and i try to solve it

[barren shale]

Ok

Xd

What does it say

[fierce epoch]

this wasn't working, so i turned it into ```c
transform.translate = new Vector2(0, vs));

but

i got an error

Expected ";"

[barren shale]

Ok

[fierce epoch]

and i have a ";"

so

[barren shale]

First

Its a method

Not a property

You cant use = on a method

You cab call a method

It shouls be like this

transform.translate(new Vector2 (0, vs));

[fierce epoch]

Assets\Scripts\PlayerMovement.cs(14,19): error CS1061: 'Transform' does not contain a definition for 'translate' and no accessible extension method 'translate' accepting a first argument of type 'Transform' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

[barren shale]

I think its a capital T

Translate

[fierce epoch]

okey

it's going very high

very fast

[barren shale]

Ok

So first

You see that +=

Make it -=

So it goes down

And in the Transform.Translate line

Next to vs

Write * Time.Deltatime

The D should be d

I think

It should autocorrect

Wait

Is it not autocorrecting anything unity related

[fierce epoch]

wow it false so fast

fall

[fierce epoch]

Time.deltaTime it is

[barren shale]

Ok

So its falling fast

Because theres no terminal speed

So we need to check if the speed is above the terminal speed

So before the transform.translate

[fierce epoch]

i think it's so fast the game can't calculate the collisition with the ground

[barren shale]

Its not

There's no collision

We'll do that later

[fierce epoch]

or it's just going through

also

[barren shale]

.

Go ahead

[fierce epoch]

what do you mean by terminal speed

[barren shale]

It's the maximum speed an object can fall by

So you dont just keep speeding down

[fierce epoch]

is it not comparting vs and terminal speed

[barren shale]

When you reach the terminal velocity youre acceleration is basically 0

[fierce epoch]

instead of speed and terminal speed

[barren shale]

I don't get what youre trying to say

[fierce epoch]

so

[fierce epoch]

to do this, i'll use a if condition

what i got now is

public class PlayerMovement : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float hs;
    private float vs;
    public float gravity;
    public float speed;
    public float terminalSpeed;
    
    void Update()
    {
        vs -= gravity;
        if (terminalSpeed < speed)
        {

        }
        else
        {
            transform.Translate(new Vector2(0, vs * Time.deltaTime));
        }
        
    }
}

[barren shale]

First

You dont need that else statement

You want to keep falling

But you want your speed to be constant

And

[fierce epoch]

should i put the vs -= gravity in the if condition

[barren shale]

Nope

You dont want to check if speed is bigger than terminal speed

[fierce epoch]

it will still increase the speed of falling then no ?

[barren shale]

You will see after

[barren shale]

But with speed

I mean youre vertical speed

The public speed field will be used for moving horizontally

So use vs instead of speed

Done ?

[fierce epoch]

okok wait

let me try to figure out what you're saying

cuz

i'm dumb

[barren shale]

Its hard to write on mobile

Hmm

[fierce epoch]

np

[barren shale]

How do i explain thsi

Basically

[fierce epoch]

first of all

is this what you basically wanted as condition

[barren shale]

Ok go ahead

[fierce epoch]

or did you mean another comparaison

[barren shale]

Let me ask you a question

What do you think we are going to use the publick field speed for ?

[fierce epoch]

for the speed of the character

the player

[barren shale]

Does the player control his vertical speed ?

[fierce epoch]

no

[barren shale]

So its the horizontal speed of a player

[fierce epoch]

wait

uh

wait

[barren shale]

But its not even a speed

I dont know why i called it speed

Its basically the horizontal acceleration

You might wanna change it to acceleration instead of speed to avoid confusion

Or you can keep it

[fierce epoch]

I have the horizontal speed and the vertical speed, the vertical speed is to calculate the speed of the falling

the speed is the speed of my player

[barren shale]

Oh wait

Im dumv

Yes its speed

Yes its the speed of your player

Ok

Terminal speed should be a negative number

Cuz falling is considered negative

So change ot to -1 instead of 1

All done and ready to continue?

[fierce epoch]

not really

i have

to test

set the gravity to 9

[barren shale]

No need to make it realistic

When we are done you can play with the numbers

Until it feels natural

[fierce epoch]

ok so let's say i put it on 1.5

no

2

on 2

what should my terminal speed be

-3 ?

something like that

[barren shale]

Idk

You just have to play with the numbers

When we are done

Until you like how it feels

Are you ready ?

[fierce epoch]

ok

uh

i don't know why to use my if statement yet

and what to put inside

and what to compare

[barren shale]

So

The last pic u send me

Is correct

Inside the if statement

Set the vs to the terminal speed

[fierce epoch]

wait so let me resume

every frame , i do vertical speed - gravity

if my vertical speed is higher than my terminal speed

i set the vertical speed to the terminal speed

[barren shale]

Yes

[fierce epoch]

and i apply the translation

[barren shale]

Yes

[fierce epoch]

ok

[barren shale]

Basically youre vs cant get under your terminal speed

So tou cant fall faster than your terminal speed

Go test it

[fierce epoch]

ok now it's falling

[barren shale]

Not very fast?

[fierce epoch]

let me show u

[keen shell]

You guys have been talking here for so long, very nice

[barren shale]

xd

[fierce epoch]

ye hamza is giving free Unity courses

[barren shale]

I have a lot of free time and im bored af

[keen shell]

Cube go brrr

[barren shale]

Make the gravity like 0.1

And run it again

[keen shell]

Is gray supposed to be a floor?

[barren shale]

I think so

[barren shale]

Now you can see

Ok lets implement horizontal moving

Then collisions

[fierce epoch]

ok

[barren shale]

First comment the transform.translate part

So the cube dont fall out od the screen immediately

[fierce epoch]

//

[barren shale]

Yes

[fierce epoch]

[barren shale]

Write that before it

Itll look green

[fierce epoch]

wdym by that

[barren shale]

Because there's no collision the cube will fall out of the screen and you cant test horizontal moving

Dont worry when we are done you can uncomment it

[fierce epoch]

OooH ok

i thought you wanted me to comment the code

not canceling it

[barren shale]

Get me a picture of the whole script

[keen shell]

Why no collisions first?

[barren shale]

Ok all looking good

[barren shale]

The way i implement this is after you move you check if youre colliding then you move back if you are

All on the same frame

So it looks smooth

[keen shell]

Oh so for smoothy

[fierce epoch]

just

i'll have to go to a tennis course

soon

[keen shell]

why not add a simple collision while testing and improve later tho?

[barren shale]

Dont worry

We'll implement a simple version bod what i said first

It wont be very good

Ok lets continue try to finish as much as we can before you have tongo

So now you want to check what keys you have pressed

If A go left else if D go right Else dont move

[fierce epoch]

yes

[barren shale]

So write the first if statement

In it you need

Input.GetKeyDown("a")

This is the condition

Before we fill it in you can erite the other if statement

[fierce epoch]

what's the difference between GetKey and GetKeyDown

[barren shale]

xd

I forgot

Lemme check the documents

Havent used unity in a year

[keen shell]

Getkeydown sounds like it updates when the key is being pressed
Get key sounds like an activation that happens once or twice but I'm not sure

[fierce epoch]

@barren shale i'll have to go now ^^

[barren shale]

Ooh

Ok

[fierce epoch]

but

[barren shale]

I remembered the difference

[fierce epoch]

i got this

[keen shell]

Bey

[exotic vessel]

Soo this is where all the nerds go

[fierce epoch]

if (Input.GetKey("d"))
{
            
}
if (Input.GetKey("q"))
{
            
}

[keen shell]

[barren shale]

Yes its GetKey

Not GetKeyDown

Its actually thw opposite of what daniel said

[keen shell]

Oh really lmao

[barren shale]

GetKeyDown runs once

GetKey keeps runnings as long as you are holding rhe jey

[fierce epoch]

oh okkk

welp

thanks for help

imma go

[barren shale]

Np

[fierce epoch]

can i add u friend ?

[barren shale]

Sure

[main brook]

what language can we use to make worldbox mod

first of all am i in the right channel

[stark ravine]

C#

[stark ravine]

https://tenor.com/view/well-yes-but-actually-no-well-yes-no-yes-yes-no-gif-13736934

🗿 most of the time you ask that on #🔧modding-talk

But this place is fine

[main brook]

well crap i don't know anything about C#

[main brook]

oo ok

[barren shale]

Just wear glasses and you can C#

Hahaha

Classical C# dad joke

Intensefies

[sly schooner]

More like C

For more awful jokes, dance tango with a mango

[main brook]

i already use glasses

and i can already C#

[main brook]

how does one send and receive packets from 1 machine to another machine

rather confusing for me

how do things like socket work inside it

the sending the actual bytes

bytes into radio waves or something and into bytes again

[barren shale]

Bro

Bits

0 or 1

High frequency electricity or low frequency electricity

[wet girder]

networking is weird

[barren shale]

Its weird

[wet girder]

people dedicate their whole lifes to it and still don't understand it all in some cases

but it's super super super important

especially wireless which is the weirdest thing in iy

[main brook]

aw yeah

i forgot its just electricity

[main brook]

yes i agree

it would be easier and less latency with cable connection

[wet girder]

0 means no electricity and 1 electricity actually but little thing

[main brook]

its basically super super small electrical current

[barren shale]

Actually no

[wet girder]

but well it's way less practical

[barren shale]

How would the cpu work

With no electricity

[main brook]

transistor

oh

[barren shale]

I thought it was like this

[main brook]

basically just a piece of metal

[barren shale]

But rhen i read about it

[main brook]

true

but hey atleast fast latency

[wet girder]

cpu is mostly just a clock but in drugs

[main brook]

or a super busy executive

[wet girder]

it doesn't process bits mostly

[main brook]

i believe it just follows instructions

of bits

[barren shale]

Its more complicated than that

[wet girder]

it reads ram which has those instructions and runs them. Or this is the basics of iy

[main brook]

ram are just harddisk

[wet girder]

it's way more complicated but it's not important to know much better

[main brook]

except faster

[wet girder]

actually no

[main brook]

but inconsistent

as data just flows

or sumtin

[wet girder]

it's way too hard to explain ngl

[main brook]

yes

low levels are always hard

[barren shale]

Go read a book about it

[main brook]

im poor

[wet girder]

just watch this if you're interested https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH2l6uzC4UEW0s7-KewFLBC1D0l6XRfye

[main brook]

i already did that

[barren shale]

Way better than asking someone to explain

[wet girder]

YouTube is better

[main brook]

i watched bunch of random crap

about bytes

and low level things

even to the point of how electric flows

in a gaming way

[barren shale]

More fun

[main brook]

more ram = more performance

[barren shale]

Oh yes

[main brook]

better gpu = better graphics

[barren shale]

Downloading ram

[main brook]

yes yes

i did that as a kid /s

[wet girder]

yes and no, ir depends on other factors too

[main brook]

yes like cpu

if the cpu is weak

[wet girder]

I personally have 20 gigs for ram but you don't really need that much

[main brook]

it doesn't help much

[main brook]

the hell

i only have 2-4

[wet girder]

lol

[barren shale]

Have two 4gb is better than having one 8gb like me

[wet girder]

I only use like one fourth of my ram usually

[main brook]

and i use 100% of it

[wet girder]

but when I code it might go to like 12 gigs used

[main brook]

how

[barren shale]

Wtf ur coding

Ai

[wet girder]

yep

[barren shale]

Shit

[main brook]

are you making

[wet girder]

I just have like 100 chrome tabs open

it eats my ram

[main brook]

find square root of ur mom

[barren shale]

Only AI would rake that much ram

[main brook]

SO and Github smells

*sniffs*

[wet girder]

I like GitHub

[main brook]

i like git

i don't like github

but i like git

[wet girder]

do you use gitlab then?

[main brook]

no

[wet girder]

GitHub and gitlab are the 2 I know

[main brook]

i use github

but not often

just when i need to TEACH THIS KID HOW TO USE GITHUB EVEN THOUGH I HATE USING IT

oh wait let me connect my account to github

[barren shale]

Just use github desktop

Make life simpler

[wet girder]

I use git in bash because I use WSL for coding

well mostly for coding @bitter sedge but still

[main brook]

eh it says failed to connect

[main brook]

here's a weird things

i use my phone

i can't afford a pc so i use my phone

[barren shale]

Wtf

[wet girder]

damn

[barren shale]

Programming on phone

[wet girder]

it's actually relatively easy

[barren shale]

U just said u had two 4gbs

[main brook]

meh you'll get used to environmental issue, compatibility error, missing permission, lib missing, headers not found, directory conflict

also npm will suck your internal storage dry

[keen shell]

Woah

[main brook]

symlink are broken

[keen shell]

How tho?

[main brook]

and binary files aren't running in internal storage

[main brook]

i dont have a pc because im poor

[wet girder]

It's easy tho to get shitty pc almost free, I used pc I got with 12€ until last week when I bought decent pc

[main brook]

im a minor

[keen shell]

I mean, which way of Coding you do with what kind of app

[main brook]

and my family is having a financial crisis

[wet girder]

Electricity is other thing tho

[main brook]

what do you mean by that

ah

[keen shell]

Like where do you code on phone

[main brook]

I use Termux with some code editor

or just plain text editor

[keen shell]

Visual studio on phone

[main brook]

not available

[keen shell]

Would be nice

[main brook]

unless i install linux with gui

[wet girder]

I actually got it to work with 2 fps once

[main brook]

is this sarcasm

[wet girder]

nope

I did actually get vs on my phone

[main brook]

nice

i wanna do that

but ubuntu took like almost 2gb of my storage

[wet girder]

lemme find the google article I used to help me

[main brook]

and most of my storage are filled with numbers

[wet girder]

I used termux

[main brook]

yes

they discontinued the play store version

now only on f droid

with latest update

so the newest package doesn't scream at you

[wet girder]

https://wiki.termux.com/wiki/Graphical_Environment
I used this and just normally installed vs after I got the gui working

[barren shale]

Probably start saving from now and get yourself a cheap pc

[main brook]

how to save money

[wet girder]

which app?

[main brook]

i dont even get an allowance

[main brook]

termux

[wet girder]

No they didn't

[barren shale]

Even if it is 1 euro per day

[main brook]

yes they did

no new update in play store

[wet girder]

I have it in play store

[main brook]

only in f droid

exactly

but no new update

its still old

[barren shale]

Don't you get school allowance

[main brook]

newest is in f droid

[main brook]

no why

[barren shale]

Wtf

[wet girder]

What newest?

[main brook]

why would you give ur kids school allowance for online class

[main brook]

version

[barren shale]

Oh online school

[wet girder]

version of what

[main brook]

currently some packages screams at me

termux

[wet girder]

ohh

[main brook]

and the

pkg install

it makes the package old

[barren shale]

How old are you

[main brook]

so no new package will be fetched

[barren shale]

Cant you get a part time job

[main brook]

14

[main brook]

yes and no
