how to start InvokeRepeating function and timer at the same time?
I am instantiating prefab randomly using InvokeRepeating in my scene and i have also timer like this float timeRemaining = 30.0f;. I want when InvokeRepeating function start then timer should start. here is Invokereapeating
void Start () {
InvokeRepeating ("SpawnObject", 3, 1);
}
And here is Timer function
void Update()
{
//if (InvokeFunction.timerStarted == true) {
if (timeRemaining > 0) {
timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
time.text = "Time: " + System.Convert.ToInt32 (timeRemaining);
}
if (timeRemaining <= 0) {
GameOver();
}
// }
}
Please help me. Thanks
Introduce additional variable, indicating if timer already started, and initialize it at the end of SpawnObject method (if not already initialized). Sample (might contain some typos, but general idea remains):
private bool timerStarted = false;
private void SpawnObject()
{
// your spawn code
if(!timerStarted)
{
timerStarted = true;
timeRemaining = 10;
}
}
void Update()
{
if(timerStarted)
{
if (timeRemaining > 0)
{
timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
time.text = "Time: " + System.Convert.ToInt32 (timeRemaining);
}
else
{
GameOver();
}
}
}
public float timer = 0.0f;
void Update ()
{
timer += Time.deltaTime;
if(timer > 30.0f)
{
GameOver();
timer = 0.0f;
}
}
No need to include any additional variables. This will work 100% as i have used this code in my project as well.
This will not work, because your timer starts instantly. According to the question, it should start after calling SpawnObject method.
Since you are using the start function, your invokerepeating method starts when script is enabled. Simply change your start function into something else and call SomethingElse(); when you start your timer.
void SomethingElse() {
InvokeRepeating ("SpawnObject", 0, 1);
}
