Question by dextreon · Jul 10, 2016 at 05:19 PM · scripting problem spawn times

How can I modify all gameobjects that have the same script just 1 time?

Hi everyone, im trying to work a little with some spawns. I want for a specific value on the game score to change the time spawn but JUST 1 TIME in each Spawn GameObject. It just modifies 1 GameObject.

Hope u can help me! Thanks!

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class EnemyManager : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public GameObject enemy;               
     private float spawnTime;           
     private Transform spawnPoints;
     public float time1;
     public float time2;
     private float timeToSpawn;
     
     void Start (){
         spawnPoints = GetComponent<Transform> ();
         SetRandomTime ();
         timeToSpawn = time1;
     }
     void FixedUpdate(){
         timeToSpawn += Time.deltaTime;
         if(timeToSpawn >= spawnTime){
             Spawn ();
             SetRandomTime ();
         }
         if(GameController.score > 0 && GameController.score % 2500 == 0){
             reduce_time();
             GameController.score+=100;
             GameController.wave++;
         }
     }
     void Spawn (){
         timeToSpawn = 0.0f;
         Instantiate (enemy, spawnPoints.position, enemy.transform.rotation);
     }
     void SetRandomTime(){
         spawnTime = Random.Range (time1, time2);
     }
     void reduce_time(){
         if(time1 > 0 && time2 > 5){
             time1 -= 0.5f;
             time2 -= 0.5f;
         }
 
     }
 }

Can you repeat the question, it make no sense.

You want a specific score to change an object's spawn time after it has spawned once? Am I reading that right?

 //pseudo
 if (score == specificScore)
 {
     if (hasSpawnedAlready == false && spawnTime != newSpawnTime)
     {
          spawnTime = newSpawnTime;
     }
 }

Sry I didnt explain it clearly. Yes u're right, but the time doesn't have to change after the first spawn. It has to change in every Spawn(There are 6) when the score % 2500 == 0. So the problem is when the condition of (score % 2500 == 0) is true it reduces to the $$anonymous$$imum value available from the condition. Because of Update() loop.

 void reduce_time(){
              if(time1 > 0 && time2 > 5){ //<--Here
                  time1 -= 0.5f;
                  time2 -= 0.5f;
              }
      
          }

So I thought If I modify the score value maybe it would work fine just 1 time per Spawn.

I did this:

 if(GameController.score > 0 && GameController.score % 2500 == 0){
              reduce_time();
              GameController.score+=100; //<-- HERE
              GameController.wave++;
          }

But it just modify 1 Spawn of 6, and I want to modify all of them, but just 1 time. For example: SpawnTime is (time1=5 and time2=10) I want to reduce both in 0.5f, It would be like (time=4.5f and time2=9.5f) In every spawn.

Thanks for help!
