Question by Sveyh · Apr 14, 2014 at 09:03 AM · gameobjectinputrenderer

Unity3D C# enable renderer for a few seconds

Hello, I've been trying to create my muzzle flash, I downloaded gimp, followed a tutorial on how to create the muzzle flash, and now I got it, and I tried to write a script and I "kinda" managed to do so but I got a problem with my script, the renderer is shown all the time when Fire1 is held down and I simple want it to appear for something like 0.1/0.2 seconds and then disappear, I tried checking out the unity script reference for WaitForSeconds but I saw someone say it was very expensive (whatever that means) for the game. I would be greatfull if anyone could help me, Im posting the script below

         if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") && Time.time >= timestamp)
         {
             if(ammoPerClip > 0)
             {
                 Rigidbody bulletInstance;
                 bulletInstance = Instantiate(Bulletprefab, barrelEnd.position, barrelEnd.rotation) as Rigidbody;
                 bulletInstance.AddForce(barrelEnd.forward * 6000);
                 timestamp = Time.time + timeBetweenShots;
                 audio.Play ();
                 ammoPerClip--;
                 flash.renderer.enabled = !flash.renderer.enabled;
                 skottljus.light.enabled = !skottljus.light.enabled;
 
             }
         }
         if (ammoPerClip == 0 && Input.GetButtonDown ("Fire1")) 
         {
             audio.PlayOneShot(click);
         }
         if (Input.GetButtonUp ("Fire1")) 
         {
             flash.renderer.enabled = false;
             skottljus.light.enabled = false;
         }
     }


How would I go about to do this?

You can look into Unity's "Time" class. There are variables such as Time.time which gives you the time since the execution of the game, and there is also Time.deltaTime which gives you the time since the last update was executed. Try look into these variables as I am sure this will help you.

Script reference for Time Class

I tried putting yield WaitForSeconds(0.05) (I saw this in a java tutorial) and I thought like, Java is almost the same as C# right? so I tried, didnt work... <.<

Is it possible to check if getbuttondown is held down for a amount of seconds, if it is, then turn off renderer?
