Help with charting a rhythm game

Hello I'm trying to chart my rhythm game but idk what the best way to do it would be. The original plan was to place notes and then slightly move them until they're all in time except that it would never be fully in time. I was thinking of using midi however I wasn't sure of how I could do long notes and transitions. The game is the basic 4 bars with notes dropping down plus player movement to left and right. Thanks!

Help with unity triggers

I'm trying to make this game and the OnTriggerEnter part of the SheepScript won't trigger. I've checked the RigidBody, the Colliders, and the Layer Collision Matrix, but there doesn't seem to be any problems. Does anyone know how I could solve this problem? Thank you very much.

How to set up background as toplayer/filter?

Hello everyone!

I'm about to create a point & click adventure game! For this I created a 2D URP Unity Project

I have pre-drawn a scene in my drawing program as in screenshot 1 (S1).

My layers in my artist program are normally like in screenshot 2 (S2) (In this screenshot the background is turned off, normally it is turned on)

As you can see, my top layer is a background with 66% opacity and the blend mode “Darken”.

I want to bring my drawings into the Unity Engine with the same effect. I want to have the background as the top layer that acts as a “filter” because in my game there are objects that move in the background.

Also, I have items/objects that have a white background to avoid a transparent body (like the birds, if they are not completely white, the nest will show through the body). The filter on top should then color the corresponding objects.

Trying to implement my assets in Unity leads to unsatisfactory results. As an example, you can see screenshot 3 (S3) where I tried to set the background to the highest level and play a bit with the alpha value in the rgba. But you can see that it doesn't look like S1. How can I make this work? I have absolutely no idea how to make this work as I am a Unity beginner.

Thanks for your help!

Help!

Very noob question and I'm sure it's been answered I just can't find the answer 😭. Light is affecting the sprites in the scene but any object that is imported from blender is not affected. I see that the sprites have sprite rendering which I have added the urp too but there is no option in either the imported material or object to attach the sprites lite, as a test I have created a simple sphere with an orange material no shaders etc. is there maybe a component I need to add to the material? Any help is appreciated.

Unity Fishing Game Help

I want to make a simple game for an assignment. I want my fishing mechanic to be like the game CatGoesFishing, but I’m extremely stuck, I’ve been working on it for a long time. Any help is appreciated! I want to know how you would approach this when it comes to coding


Here’s a video to show how the fishing works (Cat Goes Fishing) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TLdFBZCz7F1800xZdjsiCnuTClCx4zxy/view?usp=drivesdk


Right now I’m using a line renderer for my fishing line, I have an arm rotation noscript that managed with the arm and rod moving while the fishing mechanic is another noscript to reel, cast, and swing. Thanks so much for the help !!

Feedback on my infinite scrolling background noscript

So I've been messing around with Unity for fun, working on a simple top-down 2D game just to learn some stuff. I've been using[ this pixel art sky asset pack ](https://free-game-assets.itch.io/free-sky-with-clouds-background-pixel-art-set)to create a noscript that makes an infinite scrolling effect for the back ground. The way it works is basically like this:

\- Create a parent canvas and attach the SkyController noscript to it

\- Create a child RawImage gameobject for each layer and attach the SkyLayer noscript to each layer. Set the load order for each layer, starting at 0

\- Create 4 folders somewhere in \`Resources\`: Morning, Day, Evening and Night, and set the path to those folders in the AssetPath field of the SkyController noscript

\- At SkyController start, it determines the current time of day and system hour, e.g if 6am, it'll look for \`Resources/\[YOUR\_ASSET\_PATH\]/Morning\`, and then loads all the image files into a Texture2D array. Each image must be named according to its load order, i.e 0 is the "lowest" layer.

\- At SkyLayer start (which executes after SkyController per Script Execution Order), it loads the texture from the Texture2D array according to its load order and file name

\- At SkyController Update, it checks if the current system time is equal to the previously set system hour at start. If the current hour is outside of the current time of day range, i.e if it's 10am now but started at 6am, it's now Day, and it reloads the updated texture array and sets the textureReload to true

\- At SkyLayer Update, it checks if textureReload is true. If so, it updates it's texture. Then, it creates the infinite scrolling effect by updating the uvRect.position based on speed, scaled by Time.deltaTime

I'll probably remove the logic to update the texture if the timeOfDay range changes. I don't imagine anyone would be sitting on the loading screen long enough for it to change automatically, just thought it would be a cool lil feature. This is the first noscript I've ever made so be a little gentle if it's bad lol

Weird way to set Cinemachine Camera's Tracking Target at Runtime

I feel like I am missing something. My player object gets spawned at runtime, and so I cant set the target in the inspector. Before using Cinemachine I had a CameraFollow noscript I just referenced. But with Cinemachine it feels so clunky

I have my Main camera that has the CinemachineBrain on it
I have a Vitural camera
I have a player spawn noscript that grabs a reference to the Main camera
That I want the noscript to, after it spawns the player, Pass the player transform to the Main camera, to the CinemachineBrain, which finds the current active camera, and then applies the player transform to the Tracking Target of that camera.

What I find weird is when you try to find the active Virtual Camera that the CinemachineBrain is using, it gives you an interface (ICinemachineCamera), not a reference to the actual VCam (CinemachineCamera)
And what makes it even worse is in older version of Cinemachine that ICinemachineCamera had a Follow and LookAt var, in fact if you head over to the documentation IT STILL SAYS IT HAS THIS! Yet, if you look at the actual noscript those are gone... like What?!?! What kind of software development does that, not a depreciated of Obsolete tag, just gone, and then not update your documentation even. This is why I hate using 3rd party systems, But this was bought by Unity and everyone says it's amazing so I started using it.

So the solution I found (Here) is so weird and messy, I am thinking there HAS to be a better way to do this, Surely setting follow targets at runtime is a common enough function there is a streamline way to do it.

My janky solution
if (mainCamera != null)

{

CinemachineBrain cinemachineBrain = mainCamera.GetComponent<CinemachineBrain>();

if (cinemachineBrain != null)

{

ICinemachineCamera virtualICamera = cinemachineBrain.ActiveVirtualCamera ;

if (virtualICamera is Component component)

{

component.GetComponent<CinemachineCamera>().Follow = playerObj.transform;

}

else

{

Debug.LogError("Active virtual camera is not a CinemachineVirtualCamera.");

}

}

else

{

Debug.LogError("Main camera does not have a CinemachineBrain component.");

}

}

at first I used this, but this is bad cause I want to be able to access the active camera, not keep log of the index and get it that way

CinemachineVirtualCameraBase cinemachineCamera = CinemachineCore.GetVirtualCamera(0);

if (cinemachineCamera != null) {

cinemachineCamera.Follow = playerObj.transform;

}

else

{

Debug.LogError("No active Cinemachine virtual camera found.");

}

Help with my game (pls)

Im making a flappy bird copy and I'm following a tutorial for an older version of unity which is why it probably isn't working right, but I'm not sure how to adapt it or do it properly for the newer versions. Here are some pics of the code.

im trying to make a trigger to add a score for each obstacle you pass, and the code was working fine until I added the 'collisiontriggernoscript' and i got a bunch of errors,

any help or tips are much appreciated.
