For a level editor I'm looking to store the properties of roughly 6 million (maximum) tiles in an array in C#. Is there any better way to do this?

Forearms look kinda short, upper arms are too blocky compared to the rest. Hard to tell if it'll bend well once animated, you might wanna post an image where we can see the topology.

>>168098707
What size are your tiles? Personally I'd aim at less than a dozen chunks visible at a time. Ideally there wouldn't be more than 4 visible at a time, but if you use very small tiles or allow extreme zooming (out), a chunk could become so big that it defeats its purpose.

What would be a smart way to have a first person model that the player can look down and see without having to animate every thing? Maybe I could only animate the very generic actions like walking and crouching.

you'd want to have them small enough that there's not a huge excess of tiles being run when you run the chunks around the player or camera but large enough that implementing chunks is actually useful (e.g, not having a chunksize of 1)

- Grid populated from scriptableobject level data, so we can load into the scene whatever map data is needed for the level
- path tiles auto-slope based on the height of their neighbor, and the floor deforms with it
- Enemies pathfind based on a weighted floodfill per-exit on the map, allowing for mazing in later levels if I want to go that route

Next up: Choosing what tower to build, implementing currency restrictions for building towers, and having towers shoot at enemies. And then. .. that's a whole game, right?

Hey, what's the basic setup to rig something like this in unity?

@N*
3 years then? Excellent.

>>168099174
Yeah, they're all different passive effects. Stuff like dealing extra damage when you hit stuff but taking damage if you miss, not being knocked back as much, increased pickup find, etc. There's a couple of rings that do really special stuff and are used to unlock secrets

What does N* even stand for?

Not him but I'm guessing rag doll physics on a humanoid rig and he figured the mechanics needed to move these figures with physics controls similar to other QWOP games. I believe I recall him describing the calculations he needed just to make a figure walk without animations alone.

>>168099062
Oh I know this is like the third or fourth attempt. I actually enjoy modeling quite a bit even though I'm a programmer.

I am going for a low detail/poly model to keep it simple. I don't need it to look amazing, I just need it to work.

>>168099206
I don't believe 6 years is an appropriate estimate. Many artists flourish with only a month or two of study and practice. If someone can't get better with their art after a year they have no talent and should give up and find an artist.

Run these EXEs, they are my game projects at the moment.

Mushroom Viking: A game about a viking who was kicked out of Valhalla for having a sword Bazooka and thus having an unfair advantage over his opponents. In retaliation he decides to join up with Corporate Valhalla and needs to eliminate negative holiday publicity to improve sales for the corporate gods! So he must slay holiday themed demons to ensure the holidays keep a positive public image! (The story is ridiculous, I know. also he is high on berzerker mushrooms.) Arrow keys move, Z shoots, X jumps, C uses alt Weapons. The tutorial explains things pretty well.
Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/6uvuyb2zgfjmn23/
In this turn based roguelike the story is still being formed since I'm focusing on mechanics and functionality. Clicking the ground with the mouse spawns a random enemy. Press spacebar near the old man to speak to him. Walk into items to grab them. Press "I" to open the inventory. WASD moves your character and navigates the inventory. Pressing "P" opens up attack mode which lets you see your weapon's attack range, any enemy within range will be red, you can click on red enemies with the mouse to attack them. Still adding in full combat stats, at the moment the game works fully well for the player, but enemies have no elemental resistances or dodge chance, and all weapons swing at the same speed (Weapons will have a different swing speed when I'm done with combat)

>>168101325
Looks nice so far. My advice to make it look a little nicer is reduce the collision mask of your player sprite to just the legs, and set it's depth to -y, along with the walls.

so in a code block in a step event for the walls and player put:

depth = -y;

This would allow it to look like your player sprite is standing slightly overlapping the walls, giving it a bit of a 2.5D effect.

It'd end up looking kinda like the green shirt guy in this screenshot (Not my game) Only his legs have a hit box, allowing his head to overlap collision objects like walls when he is below them.

Don't ask for free work, it usually isn't very productive. Offer a trade of skills. If you are a good programmer but bad artist, offer to help an artist with some of their code problems in exchange for some sprites, if you do not have any tradeable skills then just get some more practice on your own first, honing a single skill is important

That's useful to know. Updated image.

It feels strange to have 5 vertices on a square face. Any way to remedy to strange effect it has or should I not even bother and let my OCD chill?

Are triangles accepted on areas that aren't expected to be the center of movement?

>>168101216
Yes - here's the outline:
1. In the player script, add an OnCollisionEnter() function.
2. Store a reference to the score script in the player.
3. In OnCollisionEnter(), check that you are colliding with a coin, then call whatever function in the score script you need to.

If you have questions about the rest of the process, just ask. This also assumes that you want solid coins. If you want coins that the player passes through, you need to use OnTriggerEnter(), put it in the COIN script, and call a function in the player from the OnTriggerEnter().

>>168101945
If an area doesn't have to deform you can get away with triangles. But there aren't exactly any areas like that on an organic body

Cross my heart and hope to live this is the final time I will trash up the thread with this.

Does anyone know how to set up the mouse wheel to zoom in on the player in Unity and not have it totally suck? Because everything I've found online uses FOV instead of actually dollying the camera inward, which looks like complete garbage.
Now, I've tried to make two different scripts that actually change the camera position instead of messing with the FOV, but each has a problem. Script #1 actually zooms in consistently, but every odd-numbered click of the scroll wheel phases through the floor for some reason. Script #2 (pic related), also seems to work okay, until you try and zoom from anything but the default angle and see that it keeps shifting toward the Z axis.

If anybody wants to see my garbage code, I will happily share, because I am baffled and frustrated that I could be so stupid as to have a problem with such a simple issue.

>>168102490
I'm not going to read your scripts but I'll tell you how I would do it

Your camera needs
>yaw, pitch, roll rotations
>focal point
>distance from focal point

The quaternion (transform.rotation) of your camera should be equal to
Quaternion.AngleAxis(yaw, Vector3.right)) *
Quaternion.AngleAxis(pitch, Vector3.up)) *
Quaternion.AngleAxis(roll, Vector3.forward));

After you set the rotation, you set the position as
transform.position = focalPoint - transform.forward * dist;

Changing the value of dist is how you would zoom

>>168103365
Well, I appreciate the help, though you might be overthinking it a bit, as am I. I don't need yaw or pitch or roll or anything like that. I just need it to change distance depending on the direction of the wheel. The difference is, I'm obviously too dumb to even get that to work, as is evidenced by the first script.

Either way, thanks a bunch for caring enough to respond.

>>168103604
I totally get what you mean, and I agree, I was just saying that since I'm not going to be bothering y'all about this again anyway, it doesn't really matter. If I were planning on spamming this again, yeah, I'd go make a pastebin, but seeing as I already posted the code, I figured I might as well let it go, since I've tried to solve this issue for the last 48 hours and have gotten literally nowhere- so if y'all can't/won't help, no use in wasting the thread with pastebin links, yeah?

Cause they are nodevs themselves and want to ridicule someone's work to forget how horribly useless they are.

If you're never changing the rotation of the camera, the second part of my post still applies

transform.position = focalPoint - transform.forward * dist;
This is literally all you need, along with some code that changes the value of dist based on how you're scrolling

Actions generate mana. Each of the four actions available to you generate mana of a different type. A victorious playthrough takes 30 or so minutes but you can lose much faster than that.

OPTION A:
At the end of each stage you get to choose one of several random abilities that use mana of a certain type. The choices are randomized between playthroughs.

Pros: Variety. Each playthrough is different.
Cons: For the first few stages certain kinds of mana are useless. You're midway through the game by the time you unlock the final ability.

Option B:
You make a 4 ability build before the game.

Pros: All 4 colors of mana are useful from the beginning. Planning builds is fun.
Cons: No procedural replayability. Nothing stops you from playing the same boring build every time. No surprises when it comes to level ups.

Too much video shame

>>168104437
Because this goes beyond the realm of micro-optimizations and you need to learn how to do the basics properly, even ignoring whether the end result of the code does as you intend

Do you understand how direction vectors work? >>168103838 is literally exactly what you need but you seem to be ignoring it

>>168104327
If you're doing something exactly ONCE per frame, it's not worth the mental effort to optimize. Furthermore, arguably GetComponent on a single line is easier to maintain and understand than caching a variable. You have to cache in Start() and add a reference in the class.

But again, even discussing this is a waste of time if it will never be a bottleneck.

>>168104574
>If you're doing something exactly ONCE per frame, it's not worth the mental effort to optimize.
This is a very dangerous statement.

>>168104574
It's an incredibly bad practice to encourage because the natural next step would be calling GetComponent everywhere in every frame to get the rigidbody or collider - and that WOULD be on numerous different objects every frame which would definitely build up.

>You have to cache in Start() and add a reference in the class.
Are you unironically stating this as if it's difficult or unreasonable in any way?

>>168104561

Fair enough. I wasn't calling your logic into question, I actually just wanted to know.

>Do you understand how direction vectors work?
Not in the slightest. I mean, I think I've got an idea, but as far as how to actually structure code or what to do with the information that anon gave me, I have no clue. Granted, I've only done this for three days, so the fact that I have a camera, albeit a broken one, is a small victory for me.

>>168104437
it's good practice because while it doesn't matter in this situation, if you have hundreds of objects doing stuff like that it's going to cause serious issues
it's good to learn it now rather than later

Vector3s are a coordinate in 3D space. But if you think of the position relative to the origin (0,0,0), you can also treat a vector as a direction of movement in 3D space.

Using trigonometry you can find the length of a vector relative to 0,0,0. If that length is equal to 1, it's called a "normalized" direction vector - which is equal to one unit of movement in that direction

When you have a direction vector, it's piss easy to move x amount of units in a given direction in 3D space - it's literally just dir * dist

>>168104437
because getcomponent is extremely slow

I cede the point on caching references when you need to. You have ceded the point that in this case, it will make no noticable difference to the runtime performance, your argument rests on good practice.

We're discussing micro-optimizations now, yes? One of the things that you can optimize is lines of code, and the related measurement, time it takes to understand code when you reread it in 6 months. If GetComponent was free, you would never cache something, because adding a reference in the class itself IS clutter, it IS a cost, no matter how tiny. It costs at least 2 lines of code to cache a variable, possibly more if you're being very careful and checking for null.

So we're in a situation where you're trading one minor cost, 2 lines of code, for another minor cost, running GetComponent every frame. Choose whether you want maximal performance, or maximally clean code. On net, it DOESNT FUCKING MATTER. It's a waste of time to think about it.

If you want to be 100% consistent, that's cool. I can totally see where you're coming from here too. Good luck coding m8

This is important because it's the bare basics of object-oriented programming.
You are already the object. You do not need to search your own body for fingers, do you?
Well, to be fair, getcomponent is still better than findcomponent.


As an aside, I don't know Unity all that well. Is a component's name always its type? Scripts kinda threw me off when I was doing shit in Unity when it came to getting components.

You do realize that in this specific circumstance, unity automatically forcibly caches a reference to transform right? There is objectively no downside to using transform instead of GetComponent<Transform> - on the contrary, there are clear objective benefits

I get your point but you're still wrong in this case

I guess my programming ethos is, don't write boilerplate if you don't need it, and I consider calling GetComponent once per frame in a single object "not needing it". I don't even bother with private variables either if there is no special logic.

PROGRESS

Switched from instances to particles for the smoke effects (mostly), drawback being the lack of depth-sorting when using particles.

Also made the destroyed tanks act as solid instances, blocking fire and movement.
I also tried to make the enemy tanks avoid each other/ collide with each other, but the pathfinding got too expensive so I ditched it. Now they just collide with the destroyed tanks.

Turns out having a bajillion draw calls per tank is also rather expensive...

You have a variable:
Vector3 AutismVector

Then you do this:

AutismVector.Magnitude();

Which does nothing.

But then you do this:

Int AutismMagnitude = AutismVector.Magnitude();

Now Unity calculates the magnitude of the vector and assigns it to your AutismMagnitude integer.

That's how you learn programming. It's essentially auto-mindbreak. You twist your brain out of shape until it understands shit. And you will never realize that you even progressed, until you go back to easier things that used to be incomprehensible to you.

It's unity - but all of the game logic, menu and UI stuff is my own.
I'm only using unity stuff for rendering, audio and (later on) some collision detection (I've also got my own super primitive colliders for basic trigger stuff like the spheres for enemy/collectible collision).
Also using the editor for level setup, but levels are stored as a prefab and loaded/instantiated as needed while running

first time faffing about with room-type map generation. I already did the 'bunch of rectangles connected by 1 tile corridors' thing but I found it really ugly for making organic looking building layouts. Like nobody builds a castle or a house by connecting a bunch of rectangles.

My attempt has been to just use a kind of flood fill loop to make rooms until they reach a certain area, then seal them off with walls. The effect isn't too shabby looking apart from the weirdness that happens when we hit a boundary. I'm thinking I'll have some code that goes back over each room and counts how many connections it has and its relative size, then assign it a function based on those parameters (small rooms with one door would be 'closets' or 'storage', big hub rooms with many doors would be gathering areas). So that's fun.

I'm still not sure how to get the flood fill loop to recognize rectangular patterns though. I can count the length and width of a room just fine while building it but the issue is that flood fill doesn't care about the 'direction' it came from. I suppose I could write a one-way directional flood fill loop, fill the length first, then fill the width. I'm sure this problem already has been solved by the millions of roguelikes out there.

Anyway thanks for reading my blog.

I have looked everywhere.

They all use FOV zooming instead of actually moving the camera, which looks terrible, even more so when used on a sprite. The only single one that doesn't use FOV zooming has the exact same problem as my script #2 ( I.E. the Z axis doesn't change depending on player position, you can see a webm of it here: >>168102490 )

The Z-axis is the Z-axis, you will have to calculate what axis to move your camera on.

True, it is archived several times over. Isn't it sad that your internet tough guy nonsense was archived forever for everyone to laugh at? Maybe you should consult your orbs of light at the spillway for what to do about it.

>>168108593
Can you say that as though you were speaking to an idiot? Because, the actual camera movement all works fine. My character can move and the camera will always look at it, I can shift around, it all works. What about the zoom function is different to where it drifts toward that axis for some reason?

Like I said before, this is the last time I'm going to post about it, because I fully understand how it could be annoying to see someone whine continuously. On the same token, I really would like to just know what I did wrong in my scripts and solve it, so that's why I'm being kind of a pest, seeing as it's the last chance I have to ask y'all. Lord knows I'll probably never be able to solve it myself.

So you don't have one. And you're still obsessed. Gotcha.

I had a crash in SDL2.dll whenever UAC prompt came up, but now crash is gone when I build SDL2 myself using cmake

so don't use the prebuild dev download from sdl website because its broken you have to build it yourself or it will crash when uac prompt steals the focus

It's kinda hilarious to see. there's the usual low level sourceposting or whatever, and then all of a sudden there's these massive freak-outs where he really tries.

What exactly do you have in mind?

The most important thing is probably adjusting the animations.
Look at how various games did it. Super Mario Bros. doesn't look like you are gliding over the ground, even though the running animation only has two frames or so.

Hey danny, maybe people wouldn't accuse you of being danny if you could resist the urge from freaking out at posts calling you danny.

After all, someone who isn't the real danny wouldn't freak out at the phrase "danny", since it's not referring to them, right?

I mean, if you weren't danny, and weren't freaking out irl about being correctly and positively identified, you wouldn't freak out at those posts. Or this one. But you will anyway. Because it's you, and everyone can tell.

BTW where is your game?

It's like watching a paranoid schizophrenic have a psychotic break. Amazing.

The orientation of the Z-axis does not change with the camera view direction. The camera's z position coordinate is a world coordinate, that means the z axis there is always facing in the same direction relative to the world.

For example, lets say the positive z axis is in the direction forward away from me. If I turn right then the positive z axis will now be to the left of me.

What I would suggest is this: rotate your translation vector with the same transformation that you rotate your camera's view with. I think that will work.

>>168110507

your best bet is to start over with these sorts of problems
just delete those scripts and start writing them again
only this time, tackle one(1) thing at a time. That one thing has to be as small as possible.

----------------

besides
>transform.Rotate(-2, 0, 0);

why is this in your Zoom script. I am not versed well in Unity scripts, but it seems that your script tells your transform to rotate 2 units every time it is called. So, when you scroll your scrollwheel, it causes your transform to rotate 2 units per frame.

nothing in your script actually does any zooming as I see it.

----------------

there are two ways to zoom from the top of my head

>narrow or widen the field of view
>move the camera backwards or forwards

Basic tutorials can easily cover that. For a roguelike, it doesn't even need optimized codes, as long as you are not aiming for something as complex as DF.
