How to prevent losing multiple lives at zero health?
Hi all, I am having the problem that between the time my player's health reaches zero and the death animation finishes, if the player collides with another enemy, the player will continue to lose lives. Here is my code if anyone has any suggestions. I tried a coroutine with yield WaitForSeconds in the HealthScript, but that didn't seem to help:
HealthScript:
public void Damage(int damageCount)//Inflicts damage
{
hp -= damageCount;
if (hp <= 0 && this.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
MainScript playerLives = this.GetComponent<MainScript> ();
playerLives.UpdateLives (1); //player lives minus one
}
}
MainScript:
public void UpdateLives(int livesLost){
playerLives -= livesLost;
HealthScript playerHealth = this.GetComponent<HealthScript> (); //get player health script
if (playerLives > 0){
StartCoroutine ("DieAnim");
}
private IEnumerator DieAnim ()
{
animator.SetInteger ("AnimState", 1);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);//death animation plays
Application.LoadLevel (Application.loadedLevel);//reload the current level
}
fire some flag in your Coroutine, and dont decrement lives in UpdateLives if this flag is fired
UpdateLives() {
if(!iAmDying) {
...
}
}
DieAnim() {
iAmDying = true;
...
}
you just need to move the check
if (playerLives > 0)
in the Damage script like this:
public void Damage (int damageCount)//Inflicts damage
{
// insert check here
if (playerLives > 0) {
hp -= damageCount;
if (hp <= 0 && this.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
MainScript playerLives = this.GetComponent<MainScript> ();
playerLives.UpdateLives (1); //player lives minus one
}
}
}
Thanks f4bo. I tried what you suggested and got this error message:
Assets/Sample Assets/2D/Scripts/HealthScript.cs(42,37): error CS0019: Operator >' cannot be applied to operands of type $$anonymous$$ainScript' and `int'"
I tried storing 0 as a variable named $$anonymous$$Lives in the $$anonymous$$ainscript, which seemed to give the same result. I'm sure there's a way to tweak it and make it work, but I have hav_ngs_ru's method working :)
looking your script above I thought playerLives was an integer storing the number of lives - anyhow I see you've solved the issue so never $$anonymous$$d.
