Oh shit comfy jam started already

How do I start making basic AI in Unity? I want to make an attack helicopter that moves towards you, stops, then shoots. No pathfinding needed.

>>167173080
does it even count if it has one participant in it

Repostan. What do you think?

>>167173161
If you can't do what you just described, do you need to learn programming first?

>>167173235
You're going to have a hard time with pixel-perfect shit in unity. It can be done, but it's a test of will.

>>167173161
A coroutine is perfect. First you have a loop where you constantly check if you're close enough - if not, move towards the player and yield. Then you yield to wait for some time (assuming that's what you mean by "stop"). Then you shoot, again maybe with a loop where you fire and yield until the next shot can be fired.

reposting:
so I started coding my rpg game in Unity because I'm familiar with C#, and now I've realized that I want to make it 2D instead of 3D

my first inclination was to just use RPG Maker but I really don't want to use Ruby

so is Unity that bad for pixel-art-based 2D or is it just a meme? is it worth it to switch engines and recode it all? if so, what engine?

>>167172391 →
but is it possible to keep it pixel perfect? I mean if I spend all my time fighting with Unity to get it to work with pixelshit, will that waste as much time as re-writing my code and re-learning how to use another engine and language like GameMaker and C++?
also isn't GameMaker kind of limited compared to Unity?

>>167173263

If you're familiar with C# you might like Monogame for a 2D game.

>>167173308
I assume that was meant for me
>>167173368

can you recommend a good engine for pixelshit? are there any that use C# or am I stuck with GameMaker?

>>167173315
Wow, thanks. Didn't expect a helpful answer on aggy daggy but I am going to start on this.

spining bolt should be chargeable. the most ammo it charges the bigger the bolt.

>>167173841
That's exactly what I have in mind. All the alt-fires requires a charge-up and consume more ammo.

The spinning bolt is a DoT basically, it sticks to enemy robots and continues spinning, drilling into them. If they die/break before it looses its spin it jumps to a new nearby target.

>>167173417
that looks good thanks

do you feel like GameMaker is too limited or amateur for a good 2D RPG?
I don't want to use the weird blueprint-type things that it has. just code.

are there any resources for learning art in a context of video games? im completely hopeless with art and its holding me back in every project

a small village has been built atop a giant fungi network. unknown to everybody, every hundred years, this network emits pollen which have hallucinogenic effects on humans.

that's the solution. the mystery is that there's a village where people have suddenly started to commit horrific self mutilation claiming that ghosts have told them to do so.

>>167173508
dead bodies have disappearing from the main town from cemeteries and morgues then appearing in the small village days

Well, partly. I'm not sure about nights, but every day, no matter how cold it is he does this for hours. He's definitely not mentally well. His mother takes care of him as far as I'm aware. Back in the day when I was in school, the urban legend was that he went insane from learning too much.

goddamn it, please tell me im doing my UI logic wrong. i have a few flags that define basic behaviors (can be moved, is visible, is selected, is enabled, etc.) and i keep ending up with spaghetti code such as
void UI::Button::OnMouseRelease(UI::Element *element) {
selected = false;
if(enabled)
state = default;

if(element == this)
Action();
}

what is the right way to do this shit? the more flags the more complex something as simple as this gets

>>167174306

You try to kill him, the mentally ill only suffer

>>167174187
If you're comfortable with writing code then you will be very limited by GM. GML and the IDE in general have very little as far as abstraction goes, just scripts and game objects (which are not OOP objects). You will have to trade off code duplication with tons of boilerplate and inefficient code.

>>167174245
that's not bad

could even have a fungi aesthetic to it ala Silent Hill 4.

interesting.

I may end up sticking with Unity to finish the game just because I'm lazy. I guess after the game is done I decide if I want to get rid of the placeholder 3D graphics and rewrite in 2D, however hard that may be..

is it just an issue of scaling or the camera or what with pixelshit in Unity?

well no, it's supposed to be a mystery. there are few indicators of what's really going on. it's village which looks completely normal at first glance, except for the fact that people have recently began to cut their fingers off.

>>167175143
Well if you don't want mixels or rixels you have to render to a texture first and then scale up that texture instead of simply zooming in the camera or something. And when drawing to that texture you still need to round off positions so that you don't get seams.

Know any tips or helpful guidelines to creating a decent story? I feel like my stuff would be all over the place. All I know about writing is the word 'climax' so I'll make sure my story has that.

>>167175478
Well, "DFA" isn't an implementation. There are good ways and bad ways to implement a state machine. What I linked is a good way to code one, regardless of the complexity.

In reality, each state will have different data associated with it. This is much harder to deal with properly if you're using an enum and a switch (unless your language has proper algebraic data types, and since you're using C++, it doesn't) - you have to use a tagged union which doesn't play well with RAII. And if you do want to extend it to what would traditionally require a stack of states, there's virtually nothing extra you have to do with that code (the states themselves embed the stack, which works really well).

If "nobody" cares then what's the big deal if another dev doesn't want them? You think you're the big man for saving them a bit of work even though they think it's worth it? Or is it because mixel/rixel talk inevitably ends up mentioning that Unity doesn't provide any means to prevent them out of the box even though it's a pretty basic thing?

Because it's better. Google "composition over inheritance" and you'll find a billion reasons that I can't be arsed to write here, it's a well-accepted fact even within the hardcore OOP community.

Yielding vs. rolling your own state machine, that's a bit more subtle, but simply put, the C# compiler transforms generators into state machines. Take this simple state machine in pic related, here's the code:
https://hastebin.com/isifohazak.cs
It's not as nice as it would be if C# supported coroutines proper instead of just generators, but it works.

On a group project, a cotton string, if possible in a warm color and with a little bow somewhere, and the color and bow apply to the assorted bra. You're not alone, so you have to be presentable, no?

If you're working on your own, go for something more comfy, like a bikini, and make sure you feels sexy in it. When you've found the comfy panty, try this test: go in front of a mirror, kiss yourself and ask you if you would fuck/date/sleep with someone like that, and change everything that makes you hesitate (except what's unchangeable).
Once your clothes (panty included) are comfy, and you would fuck that person in the mirror, you got it.

You'll see during your devellopment that felling good in your body not as what society ask you to be like, but as being what you like, will make you more efficient to basically everything that needs to concentrate.

you are a sad autist. "good ear" just means recognizing when you're playing in the correct scale/key. which can be TRAINED and is TRAINED. nobody is born knowing how to improvise you dumb faggots, they get to it through hard work, dedication, and practice. I bet you're one of those faggots who sits trying to "teach himself" acoustic guitar for 30 minutes per week by looking up tabs on the internet and thinks he's actually training.

>>167186930
no, you also have to train yourself to recognize rhythmic patterns as well and a little bit of basic music theory, i.e. core tones and cadences.

and then, you can improvise. improvisation is literally just composition of melody, but faster and in real time.

>>167186849
you can still paint as a colorblind, in grayscale for example.
I'm pretty sure tone deaf people still rhythm

>>167186930
improvisation is literally just chord tones + fancy flavour notes if you want to sound jazzy
knowing your intervals and how they sound like is 90% of the work.

Because you don't know if you're among the best or not until you try.
most of the time it turns out you're not.
then you try something else.
eventually you find out you're good at something

refusing to recognize this simple truth - we are not all equally talented at all activities.

Doing some stress test. Things start to get slow around ~600 tiles and 40 units so probably need to optimize the path-finding at some point.

the article you linked to even said how baseball players on average have better vision - are you going to try to tell me its just that they were born with great vision and somehow decided to become baseball players after "discovering their superpower"??

next you'll tell me "I can't be a runner because runners are fast"

yeah, people are born able to run marathons and that's why they take up running. its not like they TRAIN FOR YEARS or anything, that couldn;t possibly be an explanation!

Doing a roguelike I guess ?
The pink dude's sprite (magician?) unnerves me because it isn't centered though.

also please have drifting in your game

>>167188907
but don't you get it, anon? if you don't have a natural affinity for something, it isn't even worth pursuing.

you should only do the things that come naturally to you -- attempting anything outside your caste is a crime against the natural order

>>167188907
no it's pretty obvious that the ones who fail are the ones who physically couldn't do it due to poor eyesight, they tried, and there was no way for them to improve beyond the limits of their vision. so they failed eventually

>muscles are eyes meme again
fuck off

marathon runners actually need a very peculiar type of metabolism to excel, if you didn't know, not something that can be trained either

>>167188907
Bruh.
You only get into the major leagues if some team picks you.
You have to be good to be picked.
If you have bad eyesight, you wont be good, and therefore wont be picked.

Of course.

Fuck Off.

so I've heard I should at least be sharing my game on Twitter, along with the other places (currently here and Facebook)
how should I go about doing that, now that I have 9 months' worth of progress and 20+ pieces of footage (not counting bug footage)?

>is only able to do 20-20, I can give them glasses until the end of
the world, and they're not going to see better," Laby said. "Most
of the time, people who come in having prescriptions, their brain
isn't able to do it as well, so we can get them better, but we
can't get them to 20-8."

just give up, lower your ambitions, you can't practice to anything, willpower is meaningless, what you want to do and what you are able to do are two different things

you'll make more progress if you are realistic about your abilities

>>167189840

only applicable to lazy eye retraining

I want to hire someone and use their appearance for my video game protagonist.

Would a basic contract saying "I _______ sign over the rights to my appearance to _____ for any use (commercial or noncommercial)" be fine? What kind of lawyer would I even talk to about this kind of shit?

if you have 20-20 vision you're definitely an eyelet and should go play beep baseball with the other eyelets

I don't want to force you into an aesthetic and I'm guessing you're focused on some other stuff right now, but for clarity's sake you should maybe ditch the "indie pixelshit" style and go for something with more obvious details, kinda like pic related.

>>167189840
The world is entirely mental, you sad person.

i always thought all non 20/20 vision was bad and something like 20/8 means youre farsighted

>>167190063
Definitely open to suggestions. I mainly just went with the pixel route because it seemed like the default choice for someone with no art background. Idk, maybe I should try vector stuff out or something.

two easy levels, but they introduce a very interesting obstacle

honestly though the literal seeing of a person being a little better or worse really isnt going to make a break your sports career, it's what you do with it. when sports people talk about "good vision" they're generally lumping in reaction skill.

>>167191541
This kind of reminds me of the jumpscare mouse maze games.

20/20 vision is the "standard" model everything is based off of.

Basically 20/X vision means 20/20 person can see something at X feet away but you need to be within 20 feet for it to not be blurry.

So 20/100 needs to be 20 feet away from something a 20/20 can read at 100 feet.

the 12 tone scale is all you know about music theory?

>marathon runners actually need a very peculiar type of metabolism to excel

lmao I bet you're one of those fat fucks who blames their obesity on "slow metabolism"

just face it, you're too stupid or lazy to learn how to improvise. I bet you don't even play an instrument and are just posturing, "here's an excuse as to why I don't need to actually work hard at something..."

>>167191991

12 notes is already more than anyone would ever need.

maybe you should try the 12 tone technique by schönberg (not the chromatic scale).
