disappear script that last a certain amount of time
i have created a guitext that i have programmed to turn off when i press one of two different buttons. they both turn it off for as long as i hold that button, so if i dont it will just flash off then on again. My problem is that for one of the two key commands i need a timer the tell it how long to shut off for. I believe i am very close to the final script i just am not sure what i need to do. Im pretty sure i need to set another var or two but not entirely. Any and All help is appreciated!
Normal script:
var go : GameObject;
function Update () {
go.SetActive(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift));
go.SetActive(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R));
}
My FAIL edit:
var go : GameObject;
function Update () {
go.SetActive(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift));
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R)){
Reload();
}
}
function Reload () {
go.SetActive(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R)) = true;
yield WaitForSeconds(2);
go.SetActive(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R)) = false;
}
The problem was that when you released 'R', 'LeftShift' was not pressed so the guiText was set to active. This should work better:
#pragma strict
var hiddenTime = 2;
var releaseTime = 0;
function Start () {
}
function Update () {
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift)) {
gameObject.guiText.enabled = false;
releaseTime = -hiddenTime;
}
if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R)) {
gameObject.guiText.enabled = false;
releaseTime = Time.time;
}
if ( Time.time - releaseTime >= hiddenTime ) {
gameObject.guiText.enabled = true;
makes sense, thank you ill be trying this when i get a chance
You can set a timer using time.deltaTime * 1.
function Update()
{
go.SetActive(!Input.GetKey(KeyCode.LeftShift));
if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.R))
{
timer = 0; // this will set the timer variable to 0 as long as R is pressed
}
if (timer < visibilityTimer)
{
go.SetActive(false);
timer += (time.deltaTime * 1); // if the timer variable is less than visibility timer variable it will increase 1 unit per second.
}
else
{
go.SetActive(true);
}
}
For this to work you will need to set up 2 variables:
private var timer : float;
var visibilityTimer : int;
the timer variable must be a float or it won't work, the visability timer variable can be float or int; also if you set visibility timer to public you can customize the timing from the inspector.
your script makes sense, however when i go to press the other button, it does not dissappear, and wehen the character spawns the gui turns off for 2 seconds then on. i can solve the shift key button with using my old script seperatley, but the spawn error is what gets me
actually no it isn't, either way i cant get the shift key to make the gui disappear
