Flashlight Flickering
Hello Unity members id like to make my flashlight (that runs on batteries) flickering when the battery is low heres my script(its made in c#):
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;
public class Flashlight : MonoBehaviour { public static float BatteryLife = 100; public static GameObject HeadLightMount;
public Light HeadLight;
public float BatteryReductionSpeed = 3.0f;
public AudioClip on;
public AudioClip off;
private AudioSource audiosource;
void Awake()
{
audiosource = GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent<AudioSource>();
HeadLightMount = GameObject.FindWithTag("Headlamp");
HeadLight.enabled = false;
}
void Update()
{
if(HeadLight.enabled)
{
BatteryLife = BatteryLife - (BatteryReductionSpeed * Time.deltaTime);
}
if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F) && HUD.HasFlashlight && !HeadLight.enabled)
{
audiosource.clip = on;
audiosource.Play();
if(BatteryLife <= 0 && HUD.BatteryCount > 0)
{
HUD.BatteryCount--;
BatteryLife = 100;
}
HeadLight.enabled = true;
}
else if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F) && HUD.HasFlashlight && HeadLight.enabled)
{
audiosource.clip = off;
audiosource.Play();
HeadLight.enabled = false;
}
if(BatteryLife <= 0)
{
BatteryLife = 0;
HeadLight.enabled = false;
}
}
}
hey mate,
you have 2 options:
1.writing a script or a function that turns on and off the flashlight to simulate flickering.
2.do an animation of this flickering and playing it.
i prefer the animation cause it gives you more freadom and can look more real and dynamic then doing it in a script,
script sample:
add this function and call it by " StartCoroutine(FlashLightFlicker());"
IEnumerator FlashLightFlicker()
{
while (true)
{
HeadLight.enabled = !HeadLight.enabled;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(Random.Range(0,1));
}
}
and see the animation in the attached package.
sfc
I dont understand what u mean by that script im kind of a noob, cant you put it in too my script ? :/
you have a link just download and import and see for yourself
sfc.
@StickyDream - I understand that you're trying to write a game and get some help here, but without proper knowledge, you will not be able to complete what you wish.
I strongly suggest reading through Unity documentation, watching the tutorials and checking pages like Unity Gems. You will spend some time on this, true, but then you'll understand other people answers.
