Question by L1vD3v · Mar 23, 2014 at 03:39 PM · javascriptdisplaycounter

How to display counter

I have this code which makes a counter, that adds 1 to an integer every 30 minute. Now i would like to display this counter in my main menu scene so that you can see how much time there is to next "energy", how would i do this ?

Here is the code.

  static var energyObj : int = 5;
     
     var counter : float;
 
     function Update () {
      
      counter += Time.deltaTime;
      if(counter > 1800){
          energyObj += 1;
         counter = 0.0;
         Debug.Log("Energy is " + energyObj); 
     }

If you wanted to to display how much energy they have.

/ String Content example /

 // JavaScript
 function OnGUI () {
     GUI.Label (Rect (0,0,100,50), "You have: " + energyObj + " Energy");
 }
 
 
 // C#
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class GUITest : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void OnGUI () {
         GUI.Label (new Rect (0,0,100,50), "You have: " + energyObj + " Energy");
     }
 
 }

If you wanted to display the time on the counter

I would change your script so that it's counting down, not up. Because you know, that's how it normally is with cooldowns. EX:

 var counter: float;
 
 function Start()
 {
 counter = 1800;
 }
 
 function Update () {
  
      counter -= Time.deltaTime;
      if(counter <= 0){
         energyObj += 1;
         counter = 1800;
         Debug.Log("Energy is " + energyObj); 
     }

And to display that:

  /* String Content example */
     
     
     // JavaScript
     function OnGUI () {
         GUI.Label (Rect (0,0,100,50), "Time left: " + counter);
     }
     
     
     // C#
     using UnityEngine;
     using System.Collections;
     
     public class GUITest : MonoBehaviour {
     
         void OnGUI () {
             GUI.Label (new Rect (0,0,100,50), "Time left:  " + counter);
         }
     
     }

This is pretty much taken word for word from:

http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/Components/gui-Basics.html

It's a very informative resource and will probably answer most of your display (GUI) questions! :D Hope this helps.

If you want your timer to display in a nicer format i.e( mm:ss) check this out:

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/45676/making-a-timer-0000-$$anonymous$$utes-and-seconds.html

Now obviously you can't copy paste, but getting it to work for your situation shouldn't be to hard.
