Question by turandobear · Dec 03, 2014 at 09:31 AM · timertimers

Increase as timer decreases

Hello

So I want to make the speed increase as the timer goes down, but I don't know how to calculate it and code it. The timer starts at 120 The speed starts at 0

When the timer reach 0 The speed needs to be 2

But the speed needs to increase as the timer goes down.

Example: Timer=20 Speed=0


Timer=19 Speed=0.2


Timer=0 Speed=20

Thanks

The formula you can use for calculating the current speed based on current value in the timer is:

speed = ((max timer value - current timer value)/max timer value) * max speed value.

Here,

max time value = 12 and max speed value = 2

Now substitute in the equation at timer value 100:

speed = ((120-100)/120) * 2 = 0.33

So your speed at timer value 100 is 0.33

Just to note this is percentage based increase.

Hello you method worked perfectly, i just have one more question. when i add the increasing speed to the normal speed how can i add the two together.

playerSpeed = 4 increasedSpeed = 0.33

4x0.33 = 1.32 what i want is 4.33

my code calculation goes like this

vector3 x playerSpeed (add increasedSpeed)

thanks

Just add the two values like:

Vector3 x (playerSpeed + increasedSpeed)
