Question by Dr. Paradox · Oct 15, 2013 at 03:56 AM · c#timerbasic programming

How should I code a basic timer script in C#?

So I am trying to make an object move backwards in C#:

void Update () {

transform.Translate(Vector3.back Time.deltaTime, Space.World);*

}

However, I only want it to move backwards for a certain amount of time. How would I go about this? BTW I am a massive newbie with this stuff if you couldn't already tell.

Here you go, please read the comments:

C#:

 float timeLimit = 10.0f; // 10 seconds.
 void Update()
 {
     // translate object for 10 seconds.
     if(timeLimit > 1) {
         // Decrease timeLimit.
         timeLimit -= Time.deltaTime;
         // translate backward.
         transform.Translate(Vector3.back * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
         Debug.Log(timeLimit);
     }
 }

Javascript:

 var timeLimit : float = 10.0f; // 10 seconds.
 function Update()
 {
     // translate object for 10 seconds.
     if(timeLimit > 1){
         // Decrease timeLimit.
         timeLimit -= Time.deltaTime;
         // translate backward.
         transform.Translate(Vector3.back * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
         Debug.Log(timeLimit);
     }
 }
