Game Development

maybe try 2 SpriteRenderers on one GameObject? otherwise imo just make another object, save yourself the confusion later on, makes it easier to see what you're looking at too when debugging

Hjorthenify

Now I just need to figure out how to add a trigger to the sword...

Jon

@Pip a gameobject can only have 1 spriterenderer @Chris

Pip

Alright, thanks

Mutch95

it's like

FUCK YOU, BITCH SLAP TO THE FACE

haha really nice though

Chris

@Jon probably for the best

Jon

12:34 PM

Yeah for sure

Hjorthenify

@Mutch95 Haha yeah. This is supposed to be a futuristic robot apocalypse game where one of the robots use swords because its creator was a sick bastard.

(me)

Mutch95

haha I like it :D

Jon

Hjorthenify

Now how do I save the prefab?

Jon

that is actually something that i am not sure about -- what I do, is delete and replace it

Pip

12:40 PM

lol why

Alright, there's an "Apply to prefab" button

pic in a sec

Hjorthenify

Ahh that's convinient

Also Unity makes collisionoboxes stick to the sprite during animations :D Godot didn't do that and it was a pain to implement.....

LOL

I think I have gravity turned on somewhere... I ran the game and my sprite just went to hell

joapet99

NAILED IT!

XD

body->SetLinearVelocity(b2Vec2(body->GetLinearVelocity().x-0.01f, body->GetLinearVelocity().y));

That would technically make it go the other way by time

but since I accidentally added a new line

body->SetAngularVelocity(0);

Pip

lol

joapet99

in box2d you can't have linear velocity without angular velocity XD

Pip

odd

joapet99

12:49 PM

That's genius

Jon

that is not true

You can lock the angular velocity

joapet99

maybe

Jon

I've done it

joapet99

Actually i figured out I don't need to set the linear velocity down at all to slow down the body

I can just set the angular velocity to zero

That's clever

Jon

doesn't really make sense.

joapet99

12:52 PM

But it works

I'm talking about a circle though

I move it, the speed increases, i stop the angular velocity, it slows down, it stands still

Jon

yeah, because angular velocity is torque

and torque makes things turn. and friction makes things move

if you removed the friction from your surface material, you would see it would not move anymore

Pip

mhm

Jon

or in your case, not stop.

Pip

Anyone know if there's a way to make objects create themselves as a subset of others in the Unity hierarchy?

Jon

Yeah Pip

'Morning, All

Pip

Morning

Hjorthenify

Morning

Jon

@Pip there is a GameObject.Parent property

Pip

thanks

Hjorthenify

Should I make a sorting layer called "player" ?

Pip

1:01 PM

If you want

Hjorthenify

Or should I just add it to the sorting layer I made called Unit?

Jon

heh, up to you man

It is good to create Layers

Also it is good to Tag

Hjorthenify

I'll add tags later :D

Seems that a player layer can be used for raycasting so I'll add it

Joe

@Pip as a subset? as a child of in the hierarchy? or are you talking about inheritance?

Pip

I meant as a child in the hierarchy

we good :D

Joe

1:11 PM

oh my bad

didnt read the middle

you also should use the setParent method

at least thats what Unity 5 will yell at you to do

Pip

alright

joapet99

Yay. Now my test is working as I want it to be

Wardy

1:29 PM

my new screens have arrived ... but im stuck at work til 5 :(

2.5 hours remaining

i can't stop staring at the clock

user92578

lol I couldn't either

user92578

make sure you get a pic for me once youv'e setup

user92578

I'm super interested in seeing peoples setups

Wardy

will do ... that'll be around 6pm this evening by the time i get home and get them hooked up

so about 4 hours ish

user92578

I probably won't be on anymore then but please ping me :)

Wardy

1:31 PM

Think i may have to fire up either eve x3 or possibly elite dangerous

space games really fit multimonitor setups nicely

@Tyyppi_77 will do :)

hows your Z problem going ?

did our little talk through it come to fruition in the end?

Pip

nice, my hierarchy looks so much better now

Wardy

niiice

Pip

the TileManager has a list of >9000 tiles

thanks

user92578

@Wardy yeah, I implemented "CLevelLayer", and everything is super smooth now

Wardy

niiiiice

getting smooth frame rates?

Pip

user92578

Currently I use constant strings as layer identifiers but I'm actually now changing them to enums... because... automatic initializing

user92578

@Wardy me?

Q: Synonymize [light] with [lighting]

lighting has 290 questions. light has 35 questions and no tag wiki or excerpt. It appears to cover the same things as lighting. Should they be synonymized?

Wardy

@Tyyppi_77 yeah

user92578

well currently now great, but that's not caused by the layers.

user92578

1:36 PM

and I'm working on it

user92578

been refactoring and optimizing the whole day

Mutch95

doing logo design on freelancer

need money!

Wardy

little tweaks here and there

you'll get there @Tyyppi_77

user92578

I'm pretty close now

user92578

50+ FPS already

Pip

1:37 PM

nice

Wardy

what spec machine?

using all cores or mostly just 1 ?

Pip

user92578

I think just 1

user92578

Is that the same is multithreading or no threading?

user92578

or are cores different?

Wardy

1:38 PM

@Pip that's coming together nicely

Pip

Yeah :D

Wardy

@Tyyppi_77 what sorta cpu load you getting when you run it ?

also how is ram usage holding up?

user92578

about 30% measured by the allmighty windows task manager

user92578

@Wardy currently it's about 150MB

user92578

not sure if that's too much

user92578

1:40 PM

or not even close to realistic limits

Wardy

nice so you're basically not pushing the cpu or ram at all yet

user92578

That's nice to hear

user92578

Good

Wardy

when my gen code kicks in for a planet I eat about 2GB of ram and hammer the cpu 100% for about 5 seconds filling it

user92578

lol

Wardy

1:41 PM

me thinks I should probably do something about that

Pip

lol

user92578

haha, maybe

Wardy

im working on a fractal based approach atm

maybe when I can get VS installed again and on these new screens i'll be a ton more productive

Joe

also Good Morning GDSE

Wardy

morning @joe

SpartanDonut

6 minutes at most. I swear.

Wardy

@Soapy answered!

ok brb gonna blitz these test scenarios

Kevin van der Velden

DOWNVOTE IT D:

QUICK

Wardy

LOL

on what basis?

Pip

1:50 PM

DOWNVOTE

Soapy

was it worth the down-votes @Wardy?

Wardy

Heck, I saw the it posted in minecraft talk and for a second thought it was in gamedev =p

SpartanDonut

@KevinvanderVelden Nah. I just stare at the open field, contemplate starting construction on a building and then say "Nope!" and go home.

user92578

Almost steady 58FPS

Kevin van der Velden

@SpartanDonut =[. Build more games :D
