Flashlight Blink?
Good Evening,
Currently I'm working with flashlights. In my scene, I have a basic First Person Controller with a spotlight parented to the player camera (Main Camera.) I was wondering if there is anyway to make the flashlight blink on and off rapidly once every 60 seconds (even intervals.) If anybody could help me out with this, I would seriously appreciate it!!
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class FlickerLight : MonoBehaviour
{
float waitTime;
float offTime;
bool on = true;
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(Flicker());
}
IEnumerator Flicker()
{
while(true)
{
//Change waitTime values as desired.
//If you don't want random, just use an int: Example - Set at declaration: float waitTime = 60;
waitTime = Random.Range (3, 6);
//How long to disable light component.
offTime = Random.Range (0.001f, 0.05f);
light.enabled = false;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(offTime);
light.enabled = true;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime);
}
}
}
Thank you so much for your help! Is this configured for 60 second intervals? You are awesome.
set waitTime to the interval you want. In his example it's random between 3 to 6 seconds, but you can set it to any number you want.
I actually commented in the code.
//Change waitTime values as desired.
//If you don't want random, just use an int: Example - Set at declaration: float waitTime = 60;
waitTime = Random.Range (3, 6);
Just change it to
waitTime = 60;
But if it's always going to be 60, just make it 60 at the variable dec at the top of the script:
....
public class FlickerLight : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour
{
float waitTime = 60;
...
Then remove the waitTime declaration inside the coroutine, now the co would look like:
IEnumerator Flicker()
{
while(true)
{
//How long to disable light component.
offTime = Random.Range (0.001f, 0.05f);
light.enabled = false;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(offTime);
light.enabled = true;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitTime);
}
}
You can do the same with offTime...
