Incrimenting a variable when in a certain area
I am trying to make a sneaking game and I cant find a way to increment the variable that tells me if you are detected when you're in the view of a person/camera/whatever.
For the view of the "detector" I have a cone that I have made a trigger and on my character controller I have a cube that is also a trigger
This is what I have but I'm assuming its horribly wrong, I got it from another question on here.(I'm new to this)
var detect:float; var incrementTime:float = 0.3; var incrementBy: float = 1; var time:double =0;
public function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider) { time+=Time.deltaTime; while(time>incrementTime) { time-=incrementTime; detect+=incrementBy; } }
Almost, but not quite. If you want the variable to increment constantly over time, do it more like this:
var curValue : float = 0;
var valueIncrease : float = 2;
function OnTriggerStay(other : Collider)
{
// put some conditionals here to make sure the right things are triggering it
curValue += Time.deltaTime * valueIncrease;
}
This will increase 'curValue' by at a rate of 'valueIncrease' every second.
Of course, you will need to add a rigidbody to your character (it can be kinematic) if you want it to activate triggers properly (look up any question at all that involves collisions, they almost all discuss this).
