How to use a timer with a button
// timer object with timers srcipt
public float timerJob01, timerJob02;
public void SetTimers()
{
timerJob01 = 3f;
timerJob02 = 5f;
}
//player object wtih other stuff inside it
public Timers timer; // reference to timers script
public void ExecuteJob01()
{
if (timer.timerJob01<=3 && timer.timerJob01>0)
{
timer.timerJob01 -= Time.deltaTime;
}
}
I need help, i'm trying to fiugre out how to make happen that when i click the button a time starts when it reaches 0 it adds 1 to one variable. If i use the code inside the method Update(), it works fine if i use it ith button it doesn't work. I also tried to use loops but most of times unty crashes or it doesn't wok properly because execute the countdown really too fast.
You can use a coroutine to create a version of Update() for your button. For example:
public void ExecuteJob01()
{
StartCoroutine(Timer());
}
IEnumerator Timer()
{
while (true)
{
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
// This is an Update method
// that runs every frame
// (without crashing)
}
}
Ty man, i'll try out asap, first i need to understand what a coroutine is what it does excatly. I'm new to coding, started like 2 weeks ago from 0.
It works really ty, now i'll try to figure out how to stop it once it reaches 0 ^^
Man i have a problem, if i reset the timer and then re-execute the coroutine it acts weird, the timer is not calculated properly as the first time.
public void ExecuteJob01()
{
StartCoroutine(Timer());
timer.ResetTimers();
}
IEnumerator Timer()
{
while (true)
{
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
if (timer.timerJob01 <= 3 && timer.timerJob01 > 0)
{
timer.timerJob01 -= Time.deltaTime;
}
if (timer.timerJob01 <= 0)
{
StopCoroutine(Timer());
}
You have to reset the timers before you re-run the coroutine:
public void ExecuteJob01()
{
// Resets timer BEFORE running coroutine again
timer.ResetTimers();
StartCoroutine(Timer());
}
I did it, but it still acts strange
public void ExecuteJob01()
{
timer.ResetTimers();
StartCoroutine(Timer());
}
IEnumerator Timer()
{
while (true)
{
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
if (timer.timerJob01 <= 3 && timer.timerJob01 > 0)
{
timer.timerJob01 -= Time.deltaTime;
}
if (timer.timerJob01 <= 0)
{
StopCoroutine(Timer());
}
If i click the button to re execute the code the second calculation goes crazy, it happens only when i click the button (once the timer is finished), i tired to do the code without button on start() method and it works properly, but my goal is to do the stuff like managerial games where u click to do something wait for sec, it's done u click again and repeat the stuff.
I believe that the coroutine hasn't stopped running, or something. Could you try something like this:
bool IsRunning = false;
public void ExecuteJob01()
{
timer.ResetTimers();
if (!IsRunning)
{
IsRunning = true;
StartCoroutine(Timer());
}
}
IEnumerator Timer()
{
while (IsRunning)
{
yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
if (timer.timerJob01 <= 3 && timer.timerJob01 > 0)
{
timer.timerJob01 -= Time.deltaTime;
}
if (timer.timerJob01 <= 0)
{
IsRunning = false;
}
}
}
