@TheRabidCabbage 3 года назад

I'm enjoying the hidden minigame of trying to work out all the hotkeys you're using. Keys I learned so far: Ctrl+D = Dupe line Ctrl+Shift+L = Delete Line (I changed it to Ctrl+Shift+D as like the opposite of Dupe Line) Alt+Shift+Double-click = Select Multiple Words Ctrl+Shift+U = Toggle Case (Not an ideal combo, but I doubt I will use it much) Alt+Shift+. = Add Next Occurrence to Selection (This needs to be more accessible) I realised I was shifting lines & statements up & down a lot, so I promoted them to Shift+Wheel and Ctrl+Shift+Wheel. Hope that isn't going to be a problem later.

@nthnnnnnnnnn 2 года назад

00:41:59 I might be wrong but afaik creating new material doesn't create a new "Asset". It creates a material in memory which would be destroyed on "Domain Reload" (recompile). Also I don't think (again I might be wrong) that you can save a material in a SceneAsset. Which is different from the type Scene. Scene is just a runtime struct that holds loaded SceneAsset information.

@draconinteractive 3 года назад

That pattern at the beginning for multi-object management, I hadnt seen anyone else use that! One thing I do, if I'm not using a manager for the object collection, you can create the list in the script itself. So in ExplosiveBarrel, you can just have public static List all = new List(); Then, to get the collection, scripts can just do ExplosiveBarrel.all[x] Both have adv/disadv, just an addition :)

@GameDevNerd 2 года назад

public static List AllBarrels { get; set; } I use that pattern a lot inside the Component script when I have something I will need other GameObjects to be able to search through or manage. I add each one to that list either in OnEnable, Start or Awake and remove them in OnDisable or OnDestroy depending on what sort of tracking system I want for them.

For anyone in the future that's looking to learn to code and stumbles upon this video, or is actually into this video topic, pick a project/dev app that uses your coding language of choice, and go to the feature request area and pick a project. Popular projects are maybe better also a discord for that project might also be helpful

When you Undo the UpdateAllBarrelColors() action, although the colour field in BarrelTypeEditor and Gizmo wires revert to the original colour, the actual barrel material doesn't revert until you trigger a OnValidate() or something. I found a solution by using a Undo.undoRedoPerformed Callback to re-trigger the UpdateAllBarrelColors() after an Undo. Is there a better way?

@ale-hl8pg Год назад

Do you actually recommend using MaterialPropertyBlocks to color objects in the editor (as the example with the explosive barrels) or simply during runtime (for example, an enemy flashing) ? With the explosive barrel example, if you have different types such as a toxic barrel which would be green, would you create new materials for it (in editor mode, when you're creating the toxic barrel itself) or change it by using a script to apply the MaterialPropertyBlock with a given color? One pet peeve I've had was that creating a lot of materials was annoying when you're working on something like different variations of enemies, using mpb's seems like it'd make it slightly less annoying since you don't create a lot of new materials, just color them, but I'm wondering if there's some downfall to that besides what you've noted that, each time you set a new mpb it'll override all the properties of the previous one?

@acegikmo Год назад

either is fine, just depends on how much you want to be persistent vs transient exceptions, and how it deals with batching. it also depends on render pipelines

@anonymoussloth6687 3 года назад

At 3:00:18 you said that "we are making changes but not making changes to the serialized data". But isn't the position of a gameobject serialized? Why doesn't the editor automatically mark the change as dirty?

I don't understand this "instance" and sharing data fully. I want to have my items/blocks/scripts communicate efficiently, how do I do that?

@trejkaz 2 года назад

Avoiding the name `Manager` in class names is a design principle in itself because the word doesn't really have any meaning. A name like `ExplosiveBarrelStore` or `ExplosiveBarrelRegistry` would probably be better in this particular case.
