Game Development

So, I remembered that I did a bit of Bitcoin mining in 2011. I have the wallet.db file, but I uninstalled the program that made it, and it appears encrypted...

I can probably remember a password, but it might be more difficult to remember the program.

I'm sure I don't have much, but I might have up to 0.1 coins...

Looks like I dabbled with Dogecoin in 2013 too... Hmmm...

But less with Dogecoin.

3:45 AM

Huh. It seems like I have about a hundred keys in the wallet... Sigh.

hey fellas, anyone online?

user92578

8:55 AM

sort of

Hemlata

9:14 AM

Hey

I have two canvas. One has the left (to move my player left) and right (to move my player right) button and second canvas has menu. My first canvas is already disabled and when I click the play button (second canvas) I want the second canvas (menu) to disable and first canvas (with left and right buttons) to enable.

Can someone help me how to do that?

user92578

what have you tried?

Hemlata

I added a eventTrigger to my play button and on pointer down it runs a script

 public Canvas buttons;



   public  void onClick() {

            buttons.gameObject.SetActive(true);

    }

user92578

...but..?

Hemlata

but it doesn't work

user92578

what part of it?

Hemlata

9:29 AM

I have two canvas and they both are named canvas

user92578

is the method not called?

Hemlata

it doesn't show my first canvas on button click

user92578

is one canvas disabled but the other one not enabled?

user92578

is the canvas properly bound to buttons?

user92578

are you 100% sure that the method is called?

Hemlata

9:30 AM

Yeah first canvas is disabled (the one with left and right buttons) and the second canvas (menu) is enabled

and on play button it should disable menu canvas and enable the button canvas (left and right button)

I will add a debug and test if it is even working or not

yes it does work but it gives an error too that "public Canvas buttons;" the buttons is not assigned a value

user92578

so have you assigned a value to it?

Hemlata

No, I don't know what value I should assign

user92578

the canvas that you want to activate

Hemlata

Yeah but how do I assign that?

It's this canvas

user92578

IDK, you could always just assign the gameobject instead and get the canvas component

Hemlata

9:38 AM

I don't even know how to assign the gameobject and get the canvas component

user92578

I'm 100% sure you do

user92578

How in the world are you using Unity if you don't know how to do that?

Hemlata

No haha. I really don't.

user92578

then I'd suggest looking up a basic unity tutorial

Hemlata

Um yeah

I mean I know you probably mean like gameObject.Find ("canvasname") but idk what the canvas name is bc it don't have the option to add specific name

user92578

9:43 AM

ever used GetComponent?

Hemlata

Yes

user92578

That doesn't use a name, does it?

Hemlata

No it doesn't

But still it will need that component name

user92578

aren't you activating the parent game object anyways?

user92578

Wouldn't just GetComponent<Canvas>() work?

Hemlata

9:46 AM

yeah but I have two canvas and both of them are named canvas, so how would it know which canvas I am talking about

user92578

based on the game object?

user92578

or are both canvases on the same game object?

Hemlata

One canvas is inside gameObject and other you can see in the image

user92578

yes so just assign the correct gameobject

Hemlata

How?

Like I wanna enable the one which you can see in the image

user92578

9:50 AM

surely you've dragged game objects to inspector slots?

Hemlata

I didn't understand

user92578

docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ControllingGameObjectsComponents.html

user92578

Under "Accessing other objects"

Hemlata

That means I should find it by using a tag?

user92578

No, did you read the correct section?

Hemlata

9:54 AM

There are so many things in the Accessing other objects

user92578

Just the first part is enough, the part where it talks about dragging an object onto the variable

Hemlata

Yeah. I dragged my canvas there

I have assigned but it still says that I haven't assigned

user92578

You haven't assigned what, exactly?

Hemlata

The variable buttons of MenuAppearScript has not been assigned.
You probably need to assign the buttons variable of the MenuAppearScript script in the inspector.

and it does call that method but I typed two printline one above that buttons.gameObject.SetActive(true); and one below it and it only calls the above one.

Which probably means it is not calling buttons.gameObject.SetActive(true); inside method, but calling the method OnClick()

Should I explain again? Bc it's probably confusing what I said

user92578

10:21 AM

What does your script look like now?

user92578

I think just buttons.SetActive(true) should be enough

Hemlata

10:39 AM

public class MenuAppearScript : MonoBehaviour {


    public Canvas buttons;



   public  void onClick() {
        Debug.Log("OnClickAbove");
            buttons.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        Debug.Log("OnCLickBelow");

    }

}

It prints OnClickAbove but not onClickbelow. Does that means that buttons.gameObject.SetActive(true) is not called?

user92578

probably yeah

user92578

Does buttons.SetActive(true) not work either?

user92578

What is the value of buttons?

Hemlata

but it keep giving the same error that I have not assigned anything to the button in inspector

value?

user92578

Oh

Hemlata

10:46 AM

Yeah it is probably not working because of the error

user92578

Duuuude

user92578

buttons should be a game object, not a canvas

Hemlata

I am not a dude haha. Yeah but I wanna reference the canvas

So shouldn't I assign canvas?

user92578

36

Q: Is "dude" becoming gender neutral?

Is the word "dude" becoming gender neutral? I don't think so, however, has modern usage changed? Are there some recent examples of "dude" being used to refer to a woman or group of women?

word-usage

user92578

You're assigning the game object that owns the canvas, hence the type needs to be GameObject

user92578

10:48 AM

Also, as you're just enabling the parent game object of the canvas in your code anyways, you don't even need the canvas component

Hemlata

Yeah it says you can call to a group of women but not an individual or a woman haha

user92578

public GameObject canvasParent

user92578

haha

user92578

canvasParent.SetActive(true);

Hemlata

So I should type public class MenuAppearScript : MonoBehaviour {

public GameObject buttons;

public void onClick() {
Debug.Log("OnClickAbove");
buttons.gameObject.SetActive(true);
Debug.Log("OnCLickBelow");

}

}

user92578

10:50 AM

buttons.SetActive(true);

user92578

> The female equivalent was "dudette" or "dudess," but these have both fallen into disuse, and "dude" is now also used as a unisex term.

user92578

That's from Wikipedia.

Hemlata

I changed the code but it still says the same. Or I have to drag something else in inspector instead of canvas?

user92578

The game object that holds the canvas, whatever that is

Hemlata

Yeah but who calls a women "dude"? That sounds weird haha

user92578

10:53 AM

I do.

Hemlata

haha well but it's weird

user92578

haha I don't really care

Hemlata

that means I should drag my canvas first in the gameObject folder and then assign that whole gameObject folder

user92578

no idea

Hemlata

Um yeah

https://answers.unity.com/questions/896650/show-and-hide-a-button-when-object-is-clicked-per.html
I have tried this as well but it doesn't work

Hemlata

11:41 AM

Now it is not giving any error and both the printline are also working which means it is calling the method but it still don't enable the second canvas (buttons) on screen.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class MenuAppearScript : MonoBehaviour {

  public GameObject mycanvas;
      public  void onClick() {
        Debug.Log("OnClickAbove");
            mycanvas.SetActive(true);
        Debug.Log("OnCLickBelow");

    }

}

Hemlata

11:59 AM

And I tried doing the other way. When I try to disable them it does work but when I try to enable it doesn't work

Uri Popov

3:23 PM

@Hemlata you figured it out yet ?

user92578

Uri Popov

animation on the water seems too fast

user92578

it's just a big wave

Uri Popov

idk man I spent too much time on water fx recently :D

This gif reminds me of the ggj game I did last year

Hemlata

3:40 PM

@UriPopov no. I don't know what I'm doing wrong

@Tyyppi_77 what do you use to create all those gameobject?

user92578

what do you mean?

Hemlata

They look very nice

user92578

the graphics program I use?

Hemlata

I mean like cactus

Yeah

user92578

GIMP

Hemlata

3:42 PM

Nice

user92578

thanks!

user92578

I also worked on a "floater" enemy

Uri Popov

@Hemlata ok lets start with the code where is the mycanvas object defined and how is it referenced ?

Hemlata

 public GameObject mycanvas;

      public  void onClick() {
        Debug.Log("OnClickAbove");
            mycanvas.SetActive(true);

        Debug.Log("OnCLickBelow");

    }

This is my code

Uri Popov

3:51 PM

and u are sure you have dragged the desired canvas into the slot in the inspector ?

Hemlata

Yes

the first canvas has a play gameObject and I have assigned that canvas to it (the first image)

And the canvas that I have assigned is the second canvas which has left and right

It works only when I disable it but if I enable the canvas it doesn't work

Uri Popov

ok so you are sure OnClick fires, that's good. Are you sure that the canvas is actually not being activated. It could be that it's elements are out of view

Hemlata

https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/153373/canvas-enabling-is-not-working
And here someone answered it maybe you can understand something

I don't know but I don't think it is out of view

user92578

maybe check then?

Hemlata

bc I can enable it without coding and it shows on the screen and it can adust according to the screen

So I am sure it is not out of view

Uri Popov

3:59 PM

So the button with this OnClick is not a child of the disabled canvas, enabling the canvas manually shows it, you can disable it from code and there are no errors ?

check the console maybe you have clicked so that the errors dont show

also when you enable the canvas from OnClick does it stay disabled in the hierarchy

Hemlata

When I disable it from code then yes there are no errors

Uri Popov

what about when you enable it ?

Hemlata

then it doesn't show any error either

Uri Popov

did you check the console thing I mentioned ?

Hemlata

Yes

Uri Popov

4:03 PM

and the canvas remains disabled in the hierarchy

Hemlata

Earlier I had some errors but I fixed them and my code is running bc I have printline in the method

Uri Popov

hmm idk. I have to go now but if you host your project somewhere I can download it I can tinker with it and fix the issue, but that will have to be tomorrow

Hemlata

Yes it remain disable

Um yeah

Ok

Uri Popov

hmm one last thing. If the canvas you want to set to active is a child of a inactive object it wont work

cant think of anything else on the fly...sorry

Hemlata

It is child of my main gameobject and it is active

6:54 PM

Quick question: would Nunchuckes be a cool idea for a medieval RPG?

doppelgreener

@TheMattbat999 nunchucks are cool, so why not. If it's meant to be historically accurate that's still plausible: Medieval europe had a lot of people of color (mostly african, indian, but some would have been Asian) and trade with China and the Mongols, and Japan had trade with the Dutch in the middle of the 1000's.

The Mattbat999

@doppelgreener well, it isn't historically accuracy (with dragons, mages, etc.) But thanks.

doppelgreener

It may help to maintain suspension of disbelief to give it a plausible reason for being there: a traveller from the East brought it, or a well-to-do tradesman has it, or a wealthy collector with a fascination for this stuff has it, etc.

some people will go "lol nunchucks how random" but that might help those people go "oh this makes sense"

PearsonArtPhoto

9:01 PM

Will figure out if cloudminer.biz/?a=5133927 is anything legit soon

nwp

@PearsonArtPhoto It think the ?a=5133927 is a referral link and will make someone money for sharing it. The site itself is just garbage.

PearsonArtPhoto

Hmm.

nwp

The testimonies are somewhat amusing.

PearsonArtPhoto

9:17 PM

I've almost played with it long enough to send bitcoins, so...

nwp

I would delay that until you get real money out of it. Which will never happen.

PearsonArtPhoto

If I make money from it, I'll keep playing with it. Thus far I'm not invested in it other then a bit of time.

Bálint

9:44 PM

Multi threading in Unity 2018.1?

What took so long?

nwp

Multithreading is difficult. At least if you want to gain performance instead of lose it.

Bálint

10:04 PM

But that's like your job when you get paid to develop an engine

Almo

Unity is supposed to be a friendly engine for small dev teams

I don't think they prioritized multithreading because it wasn't something their ostensible audience could use properly

Or it's possible that the original engine wasn't made so that MT could work, and they had to redo some stuff to fix that. I don't actually know.

@PearsonArtPhoto this really does look dodgy. do you have to run software on your puter?

PearsonArtPhoto

Nope.

Almo

ok

was just wondering :)

PearsonArtPhoto

Just requested a withdraw. If I end up with 0.0005 BTC in my account, I'll be reasonably sure it is legit.

Bálint

If that works I'll set up an account too

I can't loose much

PearsonArtPhoto

10:17 PM

No account setup required, just put in a BTC address, the public one.

Almo

"You can buy and sell Bitcoins on exchanges like <some random exchange i've never heard of>"

it's weird

PearsonArtPhoto

I'm not giving them any BTC, but if they give me some...

I might reinvest...

Almo

right; reinvbest any they give you. that's a safe way to try

PearsonArtPhoto

I suspect it is semi-legit, but way overstated returns.

Almo

hard to say :)

if they have access to all this hashpower, why sell it? Just mine BTC themselves

that's the part I don't get

PearsonArtPhoto

10:23 PM

Same. And give it away?

Bálint

money laundering?

Almo

I got it

hang on lemme get you a screenshot

nwp

@Almo How is that? That strategy seems to guarantee that you can never gain anything.

Almo

Bálint

I thought they simply stole a lot of bitcoins and this is how the yclean it

Almo

10:25 PM

Guess which screenshot is when I have the webpage open

they are mining BTC on peoples' browsers. That's my guess

Bálint

...

What the fuck

Lemme check that website out

PearsonArtPhoto

Could be, but it works even when not opened...

Almo

right

but people open it and run it a bit, watch the count go up, watch the log of what's (supposedly) going on

tell me what else is taking 45% of a CPU with that page open

Some might even just leave it on in the background and check on it periodicalluy

if the tab is open, they're mining.

if you earn some and reinvest, and that works, it may be that it's a minority of users who use it this way and the ones who don't pay for those who do

just my reading of it. I know I have no proof. :)

PearsonArtPhoto

Could be. In any case, I'm now mining with 2 different accounts, will see if I can make anything off of it...

Almo

yeah keep us posted

I'm trying with one account; see how it goes

Bálint

10:29 PM

Doesn't seem like it

There's no JS anywhere

Almo

it was "FirefoxCP Web Content"

looks like it's loading something in to the background, then removing any reference to it on the page

Bálint

There is a GPU process going on

Not sure if it's the website

No

I don't think they mine

The counter is definitely fake

It changes on reload

Almo

It shows up when i open the page, it disappears when i close the page

it's 45% of a cpu

I find it hard to believe that's anything but them mining

Bálint

It really does use a lot of CPU

There is some sort of obfuscated code on the page

var _0x35ae=['\x49\x33\x4e\x30\x5a\x58\x68\x30','\x51\x32\x39\x31\x62\x6e\x52\x6c\x63\x67\x3d\x3d','\x59\x32\x39\x75\x63\x33\x52\x79\x64\x57\x4e\x30\x62\x33\x49\x3d','\x5a\x47\x56\x69\x64\x57\x64\x6e\x5a\x58\x49\x3d','\x59\x58\x42\x77\x62\x48\x6b\x3d','\x63\x6d\x56\x30\x64\x58\x4a\x75\x49\x43\x68\x6d\x64\x57\x35\x6a\x64\x47\x6c\x76\x62\x69\x67\x70\x49\x41\x3d\x3d','\x65\x33\x30\x75\x59\x32\x39\x75\x63\x33\x52\x79\x64\x57\x4e\x30\x62\x33\x49\x6f\x49\x6e\x4a\x6c\x64\x48\x56\x79\x62\x69\x42\x30\x61\x47\x6c\x7a\x49\x69\x6b\x6f\x49\x43\x6b\x3d','\x59\x32\x39\x75\x63\x32\x39\x73\x5a\x51\x3d\x3d',…

Almo

The green log text is fake, too

says block accepted a lot

A new block is found for BTC about every 2 hours (or something like that)

Bálint

10:43 PM

10 minutes

Almo

really?

Bálint

It's changed every time to stay at 10 minutes exactly

Other cc-s use times like 2-3 sec
