Countdown after resume game.
Hey! I'm currently working on a mobile game and I'm trying to make a countdown timer after you unpause the game. I followed a tutorial to make it but it never worked for me. Here is my code, I would love any help/suggestions:
//method number one for time(not working)
IEnumerator cdToStart()
{
Debug.Log("TIME SHOULD START");
while (cdTime > 0)
{
Debug.Log("TIME AT " + cdTime);
cdDisplay.text = cdTime.ToString();
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
cdTime--;
}
cdDisplay.text = "GO!";
Time.timeScale = 1f;
isPaused = false;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
CountDownUI.SetActive(false);
}
//method number two for time(not working)
IEnumerator Countdown(int seconds)
{
int counter = seconds;
while (counter > 0)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
counter--;
cdDisplay.text = counter.ToString();
}
cdDisplay.text = "GO!";
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
Time.timeScale = 1f;
isPaused = false;
CountDownUI.SetActive(false);
}
public void resumeGame()
{
pauseMenuUI.SetActive(false);
CountDownUI.SetActive(true);
Debug.Log("YOU PRESSED IT");
//StartCoroutine(cdToStart());
StartCoroutine(Countdown(5));
}
Since timescale=0 then you should use WaitForSecondsRealTime, which uses unscaled time.
Amazing! Its Works! Thank you so much, but when the text turns into "GO!" it isn't really in the center of the screen... Is there any chance it is possible by code?
You'll set those properties in the Inspector. $$anonymous$$ake sure the gameObject that has the text on it is positioned where you want it, and make sure you set the alignment of the text. Don't forget to mark my answer as correct.
On line 15 you're setting Time.timeScale = 1f;. What was Time.timeScale before that? Just make sure Time.timeScale is not 0f when the non-working method is called. Instead maybe turn different scripts off to achieve the same thing
The time scale was 0f, maybe that why.... But like I want to pause the game, when pressing resume do a 5 second countdown and then resume the game.
For countdown checkout https://answers.unity.com/questions/225213/c-countdown-timer.html And I think you want to reset the countdown to whatever number and then reactivate it with a bool being true when resumed. but as they said with Time.timescale = 0; should stop everything from continuing and Time.timscale = 1; will resume everything again.
