Question by Miguano · May 22, 2015 at 02:39 PM · timerstop

Race timer needs to stop on trigger. Help

So I've tried multiple ways on creating a timer and making it so that it stops when I cross the finishline. But I have not gotten the trigger part to work. Can you guys help? Here is the script done in JavaScript.

 #pragma strict
 
 private var startTime : float;
 var textTime : String;
 
 function Start () {
 
 startTime = Time.time;
 }
 
 
 
 function OnGUI (){
 
 var guiTime = Time.time - startTime;
 
 var minutes : int = guiTime / 60;
 var seconds : int = guiTime % 60;
 var fraction : int = (guiTime * 100) % 100;
 
 textTime = String.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", minutes, seconds, fraction);
 GetComponent(GUIText).text = textTime;
 }

Where's the script for the "crossing the finishline" action?. What are you using to detect that the player have crossed the finishline?

A single way to achieve this (it's a bit guessing, since I cannot see your finish line code). Could be adding a general crossedtheLine flag, and set the flag to true whenever the player crossed the line. So It could be:

 private var crossedTheLine: bool;
 
 
 function Start () {
  
  startTime = Time.time;
  crossedTheLine = false;
  }
 
  function OnGUI (){
  if (!crossedTheLine)
 {
  var guiTime = Time.time - startTime;
  
  var minutes : int = guiTime / 60;
  var seconds : int = guiTime % 60;
  var fraction : int = (guiTime * 100) % 100;
  
  textTime = String.Format ("{0:00}:{1:00}:{2:00}", minutes, seconds, fraction);
  GetComponent(GUIText).text = textTime;
 }
  }

And whenever the player cross the line, set the flag to true. That way the OnGUI code won't run anymore. Remember that you could set the flag to false again to start the counter again whene

Thanks for your help. This is the script on my finishline. It's also made on javascript

 var finished : boolean = false;
 var timer:GUIText; 
 
 
 function OnTriggerEnter ()
 {
     Debug.Log("Voitto!");
     finished = true;
 }
 
 function OnGUI()
 {
     if (finished)
     {
     // GUI.Label (Rect (x, y, width, height), "Voitto");
     GUI.Label (Rect (Screen.width/2, Screen.height/2, 300, 200), "Voitto!");
     }
 
 }
