I want to know how to wait before I can pick up something
Here's my pickup code for my 2 items
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ItemPickup : MonoBehaviour
{
public Inventory inventory;
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
if (other.tag == "Rock")
{
inventory.rockAmount += 1;
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
if (other.tag == "Log")
{
inventory.logAmount += 1;
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
}
}
And I want to know how to make it wait like 3 seconds before being able to pick up an item if I grabbed the other item
If we assume that you want to be able to sit on another item until you're allowed to pick it up, it might look something like this:
public float pickupInterval = 3f;
// This can be set to -pickupInterval in Start() instead, based on preference
float lastPickupTime = Mathf.negativeInfinity;
// Check every frame, in case player is sitting on a pickup
void OnTriggerStay(Collider other)
{
// If it's been at least interval-seconds since last pickup...
if(Time.time - lastPickupTime > pickupInterval)
{
// Processes faster than ([tag] == "string")
if(other.CompareTag("rock"))
{
inventory.rockAmount += 1;
lastPickupTime = Time.time;
Destroy(other.gameObject);
}
else if(other.CompareTag("Log"))
{
// etc.
}
}
}
I'm no expert on the best way to do this but I will give it a shot. Let me know if this works.
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
public class ItemPickup : MonoBehaviour
{
public Inventory inventory;
[SerializeField] private float delay = 3.0f; // this is the wait time
private float timer = 0;
private bool isPickingUp = false;
private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
{
// if you aren't currently picking something up
if (!isPickingUp)
{
if (other.tag == "Rock")
{
inventory.rockAmount += 1;
Destroy(other.gameObject);
isPickingUp = true; // you are now picking something up
}
if (other.tag == "Log")
{
inventory.logAmount += 1;
Destroy(other.gameObject);
isPickingUp = true; // you are now picking something up
}
}
}
private void Update()
{
Timer();
}
private void Timer()
{
// if you pick up item
if (isPickingUp)
{
// timer increases gradually
timer += Time.deltaTime;
// if timer becomes greater than the delay
if (timer > delay)
{
// you have finished picking up item
isPickingUp = false;
// reset the timer
timer = 0;
}
}
}
}
