Timer script is turning minutes into seconds
the timer is changing minutes into seconds, and seconds into ms for some reason:
function Update() {
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
minutes = timer / 60;
seconds = timer % 60;
now = String.Format("{0:0}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
countdownLabel.text = "Starts in: " + now;
}
also i added Time.timeScale = 1.0f; in awake() but the time is running much faster than 1 update per second...
using Time.deltaTime should make the change once per second, as that is normalized time rather than Time.time which is frame-rate dependent
No. Time.deltaTime doesn't change once per second. It changes every frame.
Time.deltaTime is: "The time in seconds it took to complete the last frame (Read Only)."
@FairGamesProductions - your suggestion is worse than the original. It will display 1 $$anonymous$$ute and 5 seconds as 1:5.
mcconrad, using Time.deltaTime will not make the change once per second, listen to 767_2 he is right. Time.deltaTime will give you how long it has been between this Update and the last Update, a small fraction of a second. If you want the change to only happen once every second then you should use the InvokeRepeating method(repeating once every second) instead of running this in Update.
When using UnityScript, you really really need to type your variables. Your logic for second/minute calculation only works with integer maths. Try this:
function Update() {
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
var minutes : int = timer / 60;
var seconds : int = timer % 60;
var now : String = String.Format("{0:00}:{1:00}", minutes, seconds);
countdownLabel.text = "Starts in: " + now;
}
i declared all my vars outside the function. here is full:
#pragma strict
var timer: int;
private var $$anonymous$$utes: int;
private var seconds: int;
private var now: String;
private var countdownLabel: UILabel;
function Awake() {
countdownLabel = GameObject.Find("CountdownLabel").GetComponent(UILabel);
Time.timeScale = 1.0f;
}
function Update() {
timer -= Time.deltaTime;
$$anonymous$$utes = timer / 60;
seconds = timer % 60;
now = String.Format("{0:0}:{1:00}", $$anonymous$$utes, seconds);
countdownLabel.text = "Starts in: " + now;
}
