Wait a specific time?
I want to have an object move upwards after 8 seconds have passed. I have a script, and it's not working. Here's the javascript:
//Whether it's waited or not
var dontchangethis : boolean;
//Set the variable to false
dontchangethis=false;
//Wait 8 Seconds
yield WaitForSeconds (8);
//Set the variable to true
dontchangethis=true;
//If the variable's true, then move upwards
function Update(){
if (dontchangethis){
transform.Translate(Vector3.up * (Time.fixedDeltaTime * 5));
}
}
Any help?
Your code is right, but you have to be in a function for anything to happen. If you want to have it wait 8 seconds at start:
var dontchangethis : boolean; //this is a global variable
function Start(){
//Set the variable to false
dontchangethis=false;
//Wait 8 Seconds
yield WaitForSeconds(8);
//Set the variable to true
dontchangethis=true;
}
function Update(){
if (dontchangethis){ //If the variable's true, then move upwards
transform.Translate(Vector3.up * (Time.fixedDeltaTime * 5));
}
}
This does look better, but the variable still doesn't change.
this code is fine, make sure it's saved, and that you're looking at the right thing. No reason this shouldn't work.
I've created an empty scene, positioning a cube in front of the main camera, added the script, and after 8 seconds, nothing happens. Could it be that the yield function is delaying the update function somehow?
For anyone looking for code in C#: Easiest way to do this is to call an Invoke() function
void Start(){
//Set the variable to false
dontchangethis=false;
//Wait 8 Seconds then call function
Invoke("ChangeThis", 8f);
}
void ChangeThis()
{
//Set the variable to true
dontchangethis=true;
}
