Question by TheWhaleDev · Jun 11, 2014 at 04:28 AM · systemattackattackingtimed

Timed Attack System

I am trying to make a timed attack system. it needs to start the timer when an enemy is acquired..but there is a bug..as soon as the next enemy is killed it quickly starts the timer and attacks twice in a short period of time...here is the code: (AttackWait is the timer that says canAttack is true after a "waitForSeconds" command), and enemyObject is the gameObject that tells the script which object to attack...Any ideas on how to solve this?

if(enemyObject == null)

 {
     canAttack = false;
     canCheckEnemy = true;
 }
 
 if(enemyObject != null && canAttack == false && canCheckEnemy == true)
 {
     AttackWait();
     canCheckEnemy = false;
 }
 
 //if there is an enemy...attack it
 if(enemyObject != null && canAttack == true)
 {
     canAttack = false;
     Attack();
 }

If I understood your question correctly here is one way to delay attacks when you have a target :

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class TimedAttack : MonoBehaviour {
 
   GameObject enemyObject;
 
   float attackTimer = 0f;
   
   void Update () {
 
     //don't do anything without target
     if(enemyObject == null) return;
 
     //found target, what now ?
     if(attackTimer <= 0f) attackTimer = 1f; // wait 1 second before attacking
 
     //wait for attack
     if(attackTimer > 0f){
       attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
       if(attackTimer <= 0f){
         attack();
       }
     }
   }
 
   void attack(){
     attackTimer = 0f; // reset cooldown
   }
   
 }

Your solution looks like it works great! I fixed the problem myself by adding a variable:

function AttackWait() { checkCount += 1;

 if(checkCount == 1)
 {
     yield WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(attackTimeInterval - attackTimeRandomRange, attackTimeInterval + attackTimeRandomRange));
     canAttack = true;
 }

}

So it only executes if its the first AttackWait(); command..then I reset it when it attacks.
