How to remove/freeze timer on Destroy()
Is there a way to stop remove or stop the Destroy() timer(aka. timeToDestroy) when the object leave the collider?
void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag=="trash")
{
Destroy(this.gameObject, timeToDestroy);
}
}
Hello.
For what i think you are trying to get, dont use Destroy like this.
You should Use OnTriggerStay2D()
So each frame is inside the collider this methid is executed.
float timer = 5;
void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)
{
if (other.gameObject.tag=="trash")
{
if (timer > 0) timer -= Time.deltaTime;
else Destroy(gameObject);
}
}
void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)
{
timer = 5;
}
So time goes down. and if reaches 0 the object is destroyed.
Bye!
Free tip: no need to type this.gameObject. Using directly gameObject (not GameObject) means the object that contains this scrip. Same for transform (not Transform) , GetComponent() ...
Maybe you could use the OverlapCollider method which returns a list of all colliders that overlap this collider, and only use Destroy() if they stay in it for timeToDestroy time ?
Or use Detroy() in a Coroutine and stop the coroutine if the object leaves the collider with OnTriggerExit ?
I'm a neophyte so those ways might not be optimal.
