How to gather data and stop gathering after collision
Hi guys!
Kinda a noob question here, how do I output 100 pieces of data continually until a game object collides with another game object, or in this case the 'goal'. The idea here is that after it gathers 100 values, a counter hits and it gathers a 100 more values. It goes on and on until finally the player hits the goal.
Here's a sample code I made:
if (!collided) {
if (dataPoints == 100) {
EndWrite;
}
if (dataPoints <= 100) {
saveData.name = saveData.name +
Input.acceleration.x + ", " +
Input.acceleration.y + ", " +
Input.acceleration.z + ", ";
}
dataPoints++;
}
}
So far I've managed to gather 100 values before closing the filewriter. I don't how to get the next 100 values.
I'm kinda stuck as to how to go from here. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Are you trying to generate a CSV file or string with all the acceleration values from Input in it up until a collision?
Yes I am trying to generate a file with acceleration values until a collision occurs.
I'm making a JSON file right now, but maybe making a CSV would be better. I'll be testing the CSV one for now
I don't know why you want to output 100 a time, per se. I would just batch them up in a list of Vector3 and then burst them all out to my file when the collection happens.
private List<Vector3> accelerations;
void Update() {
collisions.Add(Input.acceleration);
}
// call this when you want to write all the objections
void Output() {
string toWrite = "";
// add header stuff to toWrite
foreach (var a in accelerations) {
// append content of a however you want it to be formed
}
// add closing stuff to toWrite
// output toWrite where you want it to go
accelerations.Clear();
}
Thanks for the idea!
This might be a dumb question. I can somehow output accelerometer data by using this
void Output(){
string[] rowDataTemp = new string[3];
rowDataTemp[0] = "x-axis";
rowDataTemp[1] = "y-axis";
rowDataTemp[2] = "z-axis";
rowData.Add (rowDataTemp);
rowDataTemp = new string[3];
rowDataTemp [0] = Input.acceleration.x.ToString();
rowDataTemp [1] = Input.acceleration.y.ToString();
rowDataTemp [2] = Input.acceleration.z.ToString();
rowData.Add (rowDataTemp);
but is there anyway for the rowDataTemp to stop pasting "x-axis", "y-axis", and "z-axis" after it has done it the first time?
Or meh, It does output accelerometer data already so I don't think I'd go through the trouble just to add the headers there.
Thanks for the comments!
To detect collision you can use this : https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/topics/physics/detecting-collisions-oncollisionenter
Hopefully from now on you can do it by yourself because I don't really understand your question fully.
Sorry english isn't really my best language hahahaha. What I'm trying to do is output 100 acceleration values at a time until it reaches a collision to a goal object
