Applying a temporal weakness on player
First of all, excuse the poor choice for the question title but I really have no idea what else I could call it.
I want to achieve the following scenario:
When the player collides with enemy X0, the player is slowed down for n seconds. If within those n seconds, a player collides with enemy X1 then the timer resets and the player is slowed down further for another n seconds. The above will be repeated until the player is able to avoid from being afflicted by any further enemies of type X.
Now what I have so far is that when my player collides with X; it is slowed down and furthermore if it collides again within those 3 seconds it will slow down further. I also have that if the player is not afflicted for n seconds then the player has normal speed again.
What I DON'T have is a correct time reset. The time is not being reset back to 0 whenever a player collides with more enemies within those n seconds.
Here is my code
public float slowDown = 0.2f;
public float weaken = 1f;
//public float counter = 0f;
public float afflictionTime = 3f;
private static GameObject redCell;
private Move MoveScript;
// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
//set micro affliction (fyi it's very damaging)
//counter = 0;
if (GameObject.Find ("redCell") == true) {
redCell = GameObject.Find ("redCell");
MoveScript = redCell.GetComponent<Move> ();
}
}
// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
if (GameObject.Find ("redCell") == true) {
//Debug.Log (MoveScript.getCurrentAfflictionTime());
if (MoveScript.isAfflicted ()) {
if (MoveScript.getCurrentAfflictionTime() < afflictionTime) {
//Debug.Log (counter);
Debug.Log (MoveScript.getCurrentAfflictionTime());
MoveScript.updateCurrentAfflictionTime();
//counter += 1f * Time.deltaTime;
// } else if (MoveScript.getCurrentAfflictionTime() >= afflictionTime) {
// resetCell ();
// Debug.Log ("heal!");
}
}
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter (Collider c) {
if (c.gameObject.tag == "Player") {
//counter = 0;
MoveScript.resetCurrentAfflictionTime();
//afflictCell ();
//slowCell ();
StartCoroutine(affliction(afflictionTime));
}
}
IEnumerator affliction(float afflictionTime){
afflictCell();
slowCell ();
yield return new WaitForSeconds(afflictionTime);
resetCell();
}
void afflictCell () {
MoveScript.setAffliction (true);
MoveScript.incAfflictionCounter ();
}
void slowCell () {
MoveScript.setMoveSpeed (slowDown / MoveScript.getAfflictionCounter ());
}
void resetCell () {
MoveScript.setAffliction (false);
MoveScript.setMoveSpeed (1f);
MoveScript.resetAfflictionCounter ();
}
I have tried fiddling with the IEnumerator method to no avail, I just cannot seem to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you :)
Hi,
I didn't understand If I get even weaker on the second hit or if the level of weakness stays the same and only the timer gets reset.
I will show you both to be sure :)
I will also ignore your variables names - would be too easy otherwise :D
Option 1: Time gets reset, level of weakness stays the same
float lastHitTime = -9999f;
float weaknessDuration = 3f;
bool isWeak = false;
IEnumerator weaknessChecker(){
while(true)
{
isWeak = lastHitTime+weaknessDuration > Time.time;
yield return null; // see ya next frame
}
}
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(weaknessChecker());
}
// if player gets hit, just do this:
lastHitTime = Time.time;
Option 2: Time gets reset, level of weakness increases on hits
float lastHitTime = -9999f;
float weaknessDuration = 3f;
int weaknessLevel = 0; // 0 means not weak
IEnumerator weaknessChecker(){
while(true)
{
bool isWeak = lastHitTime+weaknessDuration > Time.time;
if (!isWeak) weaknessLevel = 0;
yield return null; // see ya next frame
}
}
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(weaknessChecker());
}
// if player gets hit, just do this:
lastHitTime = Time.time;
weaknessLevel++;
bool isWeak = lastHitTime+weaknessDuration > Time.time;
I can't understand how the above makes sense though. How will this output true?
the operator "
I understood that but I was wondering what it's purpose was and now I understood because I didn't notice that you were setting lastHitTime = Time.time and thought that lastHitTime = -9999f throughout the whole thing!
Thank you!
