Bizzare, inconsistent behaviour from RaycastHit.normal
Hi all,
I'm working on a custom collision system that relies a lot on raycasts at the corners of each moving entity (the game is from a side perspective, not top-down). In the course of doing this, though, I've come across a weird problem. I want to check if my downwards collision check is perpendicular to the surface it's hitting, so I don't "rub" against walls on the way down, resetting vertical speed. This, for some reason, works on the right walls but not on left walls. Here's a code snippet:
hit1 = Physics2D.Raycast(brCorner + new Vector2(hSpeed, 0f), new Vector2(0, -1), -vSpeed + 0.1f, myMask);
hit2 = Physics2D.Raycast(blCorner + new Vector2(hSpeed, 0f), new Vector2(0, -1), -vSpeed + 0.1f, myMask);
Debug.Log(Mathf.Atan2(hit1.normal.y, hit1.normal.x) Mathf.Rad2Deg);
Debug.Log(Mathf.Atan2(hit2.normal.y, hit2.normal.x) Mathf.Rad2Deg);
if (hit1.normal.y != 1 && hit1)
{
hit1 = new RaycastHit2D();
}
if (hit2.normal.y != 1 && hit2)
{
hit2 = new RaycastHit2D();
}
hit1 = Physics2D.Raycast(brCorner + new Vector2(hSpeed, 0f), new Vector2(0, -1), -vSpeed + 0.1f, myMask);
hit2 = Physics2D.Raycast(blCorner + new Vector2(hSpeed, 0f), new Vector2(0, -1), -vSpeed + 0.1f, myMask);
Apologies for the way this is written lmao. The Raycasts are offset by the hSpeed (horizontal speed) to prevent corner clipping, but I don't suspect this matters. brCorner and blCorner are bottom right and bottom left of the collision box. Anyways, the Debug logs semi-consistently correctly return a 0 degrees when I jump into a right wall (but occasionally throw out a 90 for some reason), but when I jump into a left wall, I almost always get a 90 degrees, and my falling is stalled. I consistently check this midair, in the dead center of the walls, so there is no risk of it somehow accidentally tapping the bottom of the wall boxes I have set up. I have no idea how this kind of thing happens. All help is appreciated. Let me know if more code context is needed to solve this problem.

Is palette-based animation (or something similar) with Unity possible?
This seems super complicated to explain so I will try my best.
In the pixel game I'm making, the character is a pixel sprite of a guy wearing a sci-fi suit. When the character shoots, I want energy from the lights to sort of stream away from the gun starting at the wrist area. This is easy to do in an idle animation, but I'm wanting the lights to fully finish their animation whether the player is jumping, running, or anything else. The only way I can think to do this (without having the world's largest animation spiderweb) is by somehow having a "palette index". This would mean that certain pixels of my sprite that are predetermined by me would change colors, one after the other, until the animation finishes. Each specified pixel is indexed to the color it needs to be per frame, meaning I don't have to actually draw out the frames of the lights streaming away from the gun in every fashion.
Essentially, the lights will run on their own "coroutine", following a 4 or 5 frame light pattern when the player shoots, but the animation of the lights can't be interrupted when the player's animation changes (e.g. switching states [jump to idle\] or switching animation frames [run 4 to run 5\])
Because the pixels are in different spots per each frame of any animation, the specific lights would have to be marked beforehand by me, indexed, and told when to change color, so it would involve reading the current frame an animation is on.
Does anyone know if there is a plugin for Unity that either is like this or can achieve my goal? Let me know if I didn't explain it properly.
I'm praying that I'm not describing a hypothetical plugin, because I would have no idea how to program that lol.

Why does every post feel pretextual?
This subreddit is honestly just a crappier version of steam greenlight at this point. Nobody cares about the engagement with their posts, they care about the (link to store page below) engagement. It's so transparent, can we just have a shill flare or something?

A beginner game maker
I’m interested in creating a 2D game using Unity, but I’m a complete beginner when it comes to coding and have never worked on a project like this before. Could you please guide me through the process of getting started and learning how to code? What are the best practices and things to avoid? I’d appreciate any information you can provide to help me succeed in this endeavor.

I didn’t expect making a platformer bullet heaven to be this fun
I’ve been working on a game called **Terraclysm**, and honestly, I didn’t expect making a **platformer bullet heaven** to be this fun.
Something about mixing platforming movement with the chaos of surviving thousands of enemies just feels surprisingly satisfying.
Right now I’m experimenting with:
* movement-based builds
* ridiculous weapon synergies
* platforming while everything tries to kill you
It’s still early, but I’m having way too much fun building this.
What’s a mechanic in a game you worked on that became way more fun than you expected?
