Participant::1.My shade show up when start game like an enemy, how can i hide it when the game start
2.when i clear all enemy in the first map then come to second map, when i come back to first map, the enemy is still thereJuly 14, 2024 at 4:45 pm #15279Joseph Tang
Moderator::Check two things first:
1) Your scene does not already include a shade.
– Simply delete the shade from the scene.2) Your mana state is not halfMana.
– If you’re at halfMana, it means you died. Thus, you need to kill the shade to reset your mana state and save the game again.Regardless, try killing the shade and then saving the game. If it doesn’t work, can you take a short video of the problem for us to take a look? Include the scene, the SaveData and Shade scripts and the shade being there in the game itself.

Moderator::Taking a quick look at your code, & testing the same code you used on my end, everything seems to work. I believe the issue lies within the Unity settings setup.
So let’s take a look at two outstanding issues:
1) The Shade cannot be hit or touched despite having a non-trigger box collider. [And I assume it has an attack animation which it does not perform]
For this, I could only wager there’s something on with your Layer Collision Matrix. Although, on further thought it wouldn’t make sense considering the other enemies should be on the same layer.
Regardless, could you show this to me. Edit > Project Settings > Physics2D > Layer Collision Matrix. And can you also show me what your player Layer and Tag is.
—
2) The Shade cannot move, despite it’s states changing.
The code works on my end, but this doesn’t make sense why it doesn’t on yours. Furthermore, we can also see the Shade states changing as it goes to idle and back to chasing when you are close enough to it. We can also see that it turns around to see you, so the
rb.velocity
line is functioning to allowFlipShade()
.I would like you to check this by moving the
rb.velocity
code in chase state to theUpdate()
method. This will check if the Rigidbody2D can be manipulated or not, and if it can, which variable is the issue in moving the Shade.protected override void Update() { base.Update(); if (!Player.Instance.pState.alive) { ChangeState(EnemyStates.Shade_Idle); } rb.MovePosition(Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, Player.Instance.transform.position, Time.deltaTime * speed)); } protected override void UpdateEnemyStates() { float _dist = Vector2.Distance(transform.position, Player.Instance.transform.position); switch (GetCurrentEnemyState) { ... case EnemyStates.Shade_Chase: //rb.MovePosition(Vector2.MoveTowards(transform.position, Player.Instance.transform.position, Time.deltaTime * speed)); FlipShade(); if (_dist > chaseDistance) { ChangeState(EnemyStates.Shade_Idle); } break; ... } }
If the Shade is still not moving, then swap the target parameter
Player.Instance.transform.position
withnew Vector2(100, 0)
. This should force the shade to run to the right until it reaches the coordinates. If this works, then something is wrong with the Player’s position.—-
This is one confusing situation so we can only try to see what isn’t the problem.
If none of these are consequential, i’d suggest you try removing and readding fresh, unchanged, RigidBody2D & Box Collider 2D components to the Shade to see if it does anything.
By the way, the enemies respawning after you killed them is not a problem, it’s a feature/aspect that remains unchanged. They respawn because we did not code saved data for regular enemies in scenes, like in Hollow Knight, where enemies will respawn as you re-enter the room.

Participant::I try removing and readding fresh, unchanged, RigidBody2D & Box Collider 2D components to the Shade and it work, my shade is working normaly. Thank you sm!
and i have another question, when my player comeback from scene_2 and interact with bench but not respawn in bench (it work fine in scene_1)July 16, 2024 at 3:00 pm #15291Joseph Tang
Moderator::Here’s my thought process on what is causing this issue:
The only reason you would spawn from a transition portal is due to the GameManager’s string variable
transitionedFromScene
.This is used by SceneTransition.cs to find which scene you came from to put you at the right position if you enter a scene with multiple instances of SceneTransition.cs. This will function as it’s in the
Start()
function, meaning it will activate when you enter a scene as the game object is then created and called on start of the scene.The string variable
transitionedFromScene
is also not refreshed when respawning, so it will stay the same as the scene you came from. Thus, when you respawn, you will respawn at the bench but you reloaded the scene, causing the SceneTransition.cs to take the string from GameManager.cs and respawn you at the transition point.—
So what we will need to do is to clear the
transitionedFromScene
variable or replace it with the current scene.We should be able to do this using the
RespawnPlayer()
method, which is called on pressing the respawn button.At the top of the method, just put
transitionedFromScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;
to change the scene to the current scene everytime you choose to respawn.This should cause no issue as the
transitionedFromScene
will always be changed anyways before you leave a scene, upon interaction with a SceneTransition.csJuly 17, 2024 at 9:31 pm #15299Hoang Nguyen
Participant::im adding transitionedFromScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name; at top of RespawnPlayer() funcion but it only work when player die and respawn in scene_1, player respawn at the transition of scene_1 when player die in scene_2
July 17, 2024 at 9:36 pm #15300Joseph Tang
Moderator::Do you have a bench in Scene 2 that you have interacted with? Because if not, you will always respawn at Scene 1’s Bench since it’s the only bench you have interacted with before.
The bench is the save point and where you respawn*
July 17, 2024 at 9:56 pm #15301Hoang Nguyen
Participant::i dont have bench in scene_2, what i mean is when i die from scene_2, player respawn at the transittion of scene_1 but not the bench
July 17, 2024 at 9:57 pm #15302Hoang Nguyen
ParticipantJuly 17, 2024 at 11:41 pm #15303Joseph Tang
Moderator::Ah sorry, I understand why. The reason this happens is because the code i gave you would take the current scene the player died in and set it as the string value. this doesn’t mean it will set the string value to your respawn.
So let’s try this instead:
public void RespawnPlayer() {
transitionedFromScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name;SaveData.Instance.LoadBench(); if (SaveData.Instance.benchSceneName != null) //load the bench's scene if it exists. { transitionedFromScene = SaveData.Instance.benchSceneName; SceneManager.LoadScene(SaveData.Instance.benchSceneName); } ... }This should get the bench scene that you need to teleport to directly if it exists when respawning.
