I've been creating a game that uses the input system for moving the player
_playerInput.actions["Move"].performed += x =>
{
// We're moving
_walking = true;
// Set the movement input to the value passed by the player
_movementInput = x.ReadValue<Vector2>();
// The angle that we need the player to rotate towards so the player look where he's moving and we change it to be in degree
_targetAngle = Mathf.Atan2(_movementInput.x, _movementInput.y) * Mathf.Rad2Deg + cam.eulerAngles.y;
};
Here is my code but when I use the Arrows to move like the right and up Arrow and I want to release them it detects the smallest difference between the release of the two buttons which is near impossible to avoid (difference between release)
before releasing "_movementInput" contains (0.71, 0.71) but after release it becomes (0, 1) or (1, 0).
I want it to stay (0.71, 0.71) as it was before releasing the two buttons

I am making my first 3d fps in Godot and I don't understand how to spawn enemies in a general area. If someone could show me a tutorial or something that would be great.
Make a scene with only your enemy character, Give it control scripts as needed (movement, etc), and save it as a scene (Ex: myEnemy.tscn).
In your main script (or wherever you're calling it from), load the enemy scene and store it as a variable by writing:
onready var loadedEnemy = preload("res://myEnemy.tscn")
Then in your _process() or _ready() function (depending on what you need it for):
Instance the enemy by writing
var enemy = loadedEnemy.instance()
Add the instance to the scene with
add_child(enemy)
3.Specify the location of the enemy placement. For a random placement somewhere in a 10 x 10 area on the ground level (Y=0) by writing
enemy.transform.origin = Vector3( rand_range(0,10), 0, rand_range(0,10) )
You can also specify rotation with
enemy.transform.basis = Vector3(90deg, 0, 0) (example)
You can add more enemies by repeating these steps beginning from var enemy = loadedEnemy.instance() (Ex: The next enemy would be var enemy2 = loadedEnemy.instance())
If you need them to appear at different times, add them in the on_timer_timeout() function of a different Timer nodes.
Good Luck
I am using tilemaps and animated tiles from the 2dExtras in unity.
My tiles have 6 frames, at speed=2f, and my tilemap frame rate is 2.
New tiles placed always start on frame 1 and then immediately jump to the current frame of the other tiles already placed, the tilemap is keeping every tile at the same pace, which is working as I want.
However I would like the newly placed tiles to start at the frame the others are currently on,(instead of placing a tile that jumps from frame 1 to frame 4) I would like the new tile to start on frame 4
I've found how to pick the frame I want to start on, however I am having trouble retrieving which frame the animation is currently on, so I was wondering how exactly can I access the current frame of animation of a given tilemap ( Or a given tile, I can create a dummy tile and just read the info out of it, how can I get the current frame of an animated tile? )
The animated tilemaps feature seems to lack the feature to retrieve this information, also when I try tilemap.getsprite it always returns the first frame of the sequence(does not return the sprite currently displayed), and there doesn't seem to be any method to poll info from tilemap.animationFrameRate.
I thought another method would be to set a clock and sync it to the rate of the animation but since I can't get the exact framerate duration the clock eventually goes out of sync.
Any help would be appreciated!
I found a way to solve this question. But it's not 100% insurance.
First of all, I used SuperTile2Unity. That doesn't seem to be the point.
private void LateUpdate()
{
// I use this variable to monitor the run time of the game
this.totalTime += Time.deltaTime;
}
private void func()
{
// ...
TileBase[] currentTiles = tilemap.GetTilesBlock(new BoundsInt(new Vector3Int(0, 0, 0), new Vector3Int(x, y, 1)));
Dictionary<string, Sprite> tempTiles = new Dictionary<string, Sprite>();
//I use SuperTiled2Unity. But it doesn't matter, the point is to find animated tile
foreach (SuperTiled2Unity.SuperTile tile in currentTiles)
{
if (tile == null)
{
continue;
}
if (tile.m_AnimationSprites.Length > 1 && !tempTiles.ContainsKey(tile.name))
{
// find animated tile current frame
// You can easily find that the way SuperTile2Unity is used to process animation is to generate a sprite array based on the time of each frame set by Tiled animation and the value of AnimationFrameRate parameter.
// The length of array is always n times of AnimationFrameRate. You can debug to find this.
tempTiles.Add(tile.name, tile.m_AnimationSprites[GetProbablyFrameIndex(tile.m_AnimationSprites.Length)]);
}
}
//...
}
private int GetProbablyFrameIndex(int totalFrame)
{
//According to the total running time and the total length of tile animation and AnimationFrameRate, the approximate frame index can be deduced.
int overFrameTime = (int)(totalTime * animationFrameRate);
return overFrameTime % totalFrame;
}
I have done some tests. At least in 30 minutes, there will be no deviation in animations, but there may be a critical value. If the critical time is exceeded, there may be errors. It depends on the size of AnimationFrameRate and the accumulation mode of totalTime. After all, we don't know when and how the unity deals with animatedTile.
You could try using implementation presented in [1] which looks as follows:
MyAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0)[0].clip.length * (MyAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorStateInfo(0).normalizedTime % 1) * MyAnimator.GetCurrentAnimatorClipInfo(0)[0].clip.frameRate;

I'm making a game that has a player that goes up and down if you hold the screen. This is not the important part though.
What I need is to add ENEMIES, that come toward you.
I need to know how to add the ENEMIES in a couple of different patterns.
Like this:(LOOK AT THE COINS PATTERN, HOW CAN I ACHIEVE THIS?)
You could define a 2-dimensional array to indicate where a coin should be e.g.
var coinRow = [[Int]]()
coinRow.append([0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0]) // '0' means 'No coin here'
coinRow.append([1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]) // '1' means 'put coin here'
coinRow.append([0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0])
Then treat each coin 'area' as a 3x8 grid so given a starting location of the bottom-left hand corner as (0,0), do the following:
let coinStart = CGPoint(0,0)
coinPos = coinStart
for row in 0...2 { // Iterate over all rows
for column in 0...7 { // and all columns
if coinRow[row][column] == 1 { // Should there be a coin here?
putCoin(at: coinPos) // yes - draw one
}
coinPos.x += coin.width + coinHorizontalSeparation // next coin location
}
coinPos.y += coin.height + coinVerticalSeparation // Position to next row
coinPos.x = coinStart.x // Reset position to start of row
}
You wouldn't actually start at (0,0), so set coinStart as required. If the groups of coins appear in a regular pattern, then you can calculate coinStart and make the code that generates a block of coins a function that you call, passing coinStart as a parameter.
Right now I have 2 Cameras: the main camera displays the gun at its normal state and a second camera is attached to the gun (the gun is a child of the main camera) and when toggled it looks through the scope of the gun and increases the field of view.
Heres a visual for a better understanding:
Now if I were to just toggle the second camera on and turn the main camera off, this would work splendid, but it's not very ideal. You should only have 1 camera per scene.
So I want to Lerp the position of the camera to look through the scope and manually decrease the fieldofview. So I have written the following script:
[RequireComponent(typeof(Camera))]
public class Zoom : MonoBehaviour {
private Transform CameraTransform = null;
public Transform ZoomedTransform;
private bool zoomed = false;
void Start () {
CameraTransform = Camera.main.transform;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.LeftShift))
{
CameraTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp (
CameraTransform.position,
CameraTransform.position + ZoomedTransform.position,
5f * Time.deltaTime
);
CameraTransform.Rotate(ZoomedTransform.rotation.eulerAngles);
}
}
}
The problem with this is that it doesn't work: when I hit the zoom button, the camera speeds through the scene at the speed of light and it's hard to tell exactly what is going on.
Could anyone give me some insight as to what I'm doing wrong? I think it is something to do with the parent-child relationship, but even when I've tried using static values, I cannot seem to replicate the correct solution.
Hierarchy:
(This answer operates under the assumption that ZoomedTransform is a relative transformation, and not the absolute position of the camera as suspected by 31eee384's answer.)
I think there are a couple issues with your code. I'll tackle them individually so they're easier to understand, but they both relate to the following line:
CameraTransform.position = Vector3.Lerp (CameraTransform.position, CameraTransform.position + ZoomedTransform.position, 5f * Time.deltaTime);
First, let's look at how you're using Vector3.Lerp(). For the third argument of Vector3.Lerp(), you're supplying 5f * Time.deltaTime. What exactly does this value work out to? Well, the standard framerate is about 60 FPS, so Time.deltaTime = ~1/60. Hence, 5f * Time.deltaTime = 5/60 = ~0.0833.
What is Vector3.Lerp() expecting for the third argument, though? According to the documentation, that third argument should be between 0 and 1, and determines whether the returned Vector3 should be closer to the first or second given Vector3. So yes, 5f * Time.deltaTime falls within this range, but no interpolation will occur - because it will always be around ~0.0833, rather than progressing from 0 to 1 (or 1 to 0). Each frame, you're basically always getting back cameraPos + zoomTransform * 0.0833.
The other notable problem is how you're updating the value of CameraTransform.position every frame, but then using that new (increased) value as an argument for Vector3.Lerp() the next frame. (This is a bit like doing int i = i + 1; in a loop.) This is the reason why your camera is flying across the map so fast. Here is what is happening each frame, using the hypothetical result of your Vector3.Lerp() that I calculated earlier (pseudocode):
// Frame 1
cameraPosFrame_1 = cameraPosFrame_0 + zoomTransform * 0.0833;
// Frame 2
cameraPosFrame_2 = cameraPosFrame_1 + zoomTransform * 0.0833;
// Frame 3
cameraPosFrame_3 = cameraPosFrame_2 + zoomTransform * 0.0833;
// etc...
Every frame, zoomTransform * 0.0833 gets added to the camera's position. Which ends up being a really, really fast, and non-stop increase in value - so your camera flies across the map.
One way to address these problems is to have variables that stores your camera's initial local position, zoom progress, and speed of zoom. This way, we never lose the original position of the camera, and we can both keep track of how far the zoom has progressed and when to stop it.
[RequireComponent(typeof(Camera))]
public class Zoom : MonoBehaviour {
private Transform CameraTransform = null;
public Transform ZoomedTransform;
private Vector3 startLocalPos;
private float zoomProgress = 0;
private float zoomLength = 2; // Number of seconds zoom will take
private bool zoomed = false;
void Start () {
CameraTransform = Camera.main.transform;
startLocalPos = CameraTransform.localPosition;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.LeftShift))
{
zoomProgress += Time.deltaTime;
CameraTransform.localPosition = Vector3.Lerp (startLocalPos, startLocalPos + ZoomedTransform.position, zoomProgress / zoomLength);
CameraTransform.Rotate(ZoomedTransform.rotation.eulerAngles);
}
}
}
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. This answer does ramble a little, so I hope you don't have any trouble getting the important points from it.
Your lerp target is relative to the camera's current position, so it's constantly moving. This is the target you have:
CameraTransform.position + ZoomedTransform.position
This means that as your camera moves to get closer to this position, the camera's new position causes the destination to change. So your camera keeps moving forever.
Your destination should be ZoomedTransform.position. No addition is necessary because position is in world coordinates. (And when you actually need to convert between spaces, check out TransformPoint and similar methods.)
It has been a while since I have done anything in Unity, but I think it is processing the Lerp function at frame time and not at actual time. You will need to call it in another function that is not being processed at frame time.
I have 10 sprites which I objects of the main sprite I wrote with different images and starting positions etc. But they all behave the same way. They are sub sprites of the main sprite.
I want to be able to hold mouse click on one's rect and move it round the screen which works perfectly fine. But the problem is they all have the same controls click and drag to move them. So if I am clicking on one of the sprite rects and I drag it over another one it picks it up as well. And I don't want that to happen.
Is there a way to only check for collisions with the top most foreground rect or if someone could explain a way of doing this that would achieve similar results. I have had a look at the rect documentation but I can't find a solution.
def update(self,):
self.move(self.rect)
def move(self,rect):
if pygame.mouse.get_pressed() == (1, 0, 0) and the_rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()):
self.state = 1
elif pygame.mouse.get_pressed() == (0, 0, 0) and the_rect.collidepoint(pygame.mouse.get_pos()):
self.state = 0
if self.state == 0:
the_rect.centerx = the_rect.centerx
the_rect.centery = the_rect.centery
elif self.state == 1:
(the_rect.centerx, the_rect.centery) = pygame.mouse.get_pos()
Rather than using the pygame.mouse.get_pressed() function, use the event queue and check for a pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN event. It will only get fired once when the button is first pressed.
