Ready Set Go timer
Hey everyone, I'm a little new to unity in terms of developing games, as well as a little rusty in my coding. Basically what I am trying to do is figure out a way to have text display on the screen as ques for the player. An example of this would be:
Start Timer
If Timer = 1 seconds then print = Ready
If Timer = 5 seconds then print = Go!
If Timer = 15 seconds then print = Game Over
I am also trying to figure out a way to modify the time (seconds) between the delays so that it can accomidate difficulty settings.
Any help of ideas on how I would start to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!
co-routines are your best friend when it comes to spacing out code in Unity based on time. Co-routines are so versatile, you could actually create your whole game / application strictly off of co-routines and not even use Update at all!
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine( readySetGoTimer( 2 ) );
}
private IEnumerator readySetGoTimer( float wait )
{
print("Ready");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(wait);
print("Set");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(wait);
print("GO!");
}
Just be careful if you want to do networking or save games as it may not be easy to restore coroutine state.
