Stoping players from pressing keys.
I am making a turn based game. Is there a way to prevent players from pressing keys? I am testing for keypresses in update. what do I need to write at the end of update to block keypresses for some time ( 0.5 seconds).
Continuing to what @screenname_taken use coroutine to clock keypress for some time (0.5 seconds).
set a float to record Time.time. Then before checking the keys see if Time.time > lastPressed +.5f.
That's with lastPressed being the float.
So whenever a key is pressed.
lastPressed = Time.time;
And before you check for keys being pressed
if (Time.time > lastPressed + 0.5f)
{
// check for keys pressed here
}
set lastPressed = 0; in Start() so it doesn't throw any errors.
any sort of if with a timer will work. wrap all your keychecks into the if statement so if it fails they won't even be checked.
for example I have a bool inventoryWindowOpen.
if (!inventoryWindowOpen) {
//check for pickaxe hits on the mining wall
}
that way it won't try to mine on the wall while the inventory is open. same thing with keys, and in your case you just need a timer like Mmmpies points out.
