Unpause game when the timer reaches 0
When the game scene opens, I would like it to be automatically paused and to start displaying a 3 second timer (3 2 1). Once the timer is less than 0, I would like the game to be unpaused so the user can start playing.
This is my code so far :). At the moment, it starts off paused but the timer doesn't count down. Any ideas as to what I can do?
public class StartGame : MonoBehaviour {
public Text countdownText;
public float timer = 3.0f;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
Time.timeScale = 0;
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
countdownText.text = (timer).ToString("0");
if (timer < 0)
{
Time.timeScale = 1;
}
}}
If you set your timeScale to 0, the Time.deltaTime is scaled accordingly, so your timer won't count down. Try using Time.unscaledDeltaTime instead.
I changed it to Time.unscaledDeltaTime, but it doesnt count down - when I press play, the game is immediately unpaused?
Hmm, it seems that there is a problem with calling Time.unscaledDeltaTime in the startup - for several frames the value is all over the place. You can fix that by clamping the value to the maximum deltaTime value:
timer -= $$anonymous$$athf.Clamp(Time.unscaledDeltaTime, 0.0f, Time.maximumDeltaTime);
