Question by AmarKalabic · Feb 06, 2015 at 07:56 AM · javascriptinputscriptingbasics

Digging technique counter

Hello, I'm making and game which has digging as it's feature so I need timer which will count exact float (in seconds) and then destroy gameObject. This is what I tried now but it's freezing unity:

 function Update()
 {

 if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
 {
                         digTime = 1.5; // in secounds
                   }
                   while (!Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0)) // why is this infinite loop?
                   {                  
                   digtime -= Time.deltaTime;
                   if (digtime <= 0)
                   {
                   Destroy(hit.collider.gameObject);
                   }
         }

I'd strongly suggest spending some time getting familiar with C# fundamentals. A while loop executes forever until the condition is false. You have created a situation here where the condition to break the loop can never happen. Thus, infinite loop. :)

if you want a simple timer then you can use this

 function Update()
  {
  
     if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
        {
         starttimer();
        }
 }
 
 
 starttimer()
 {\\ this will run for 20 sec don't go for syntax as no monodevelop suggestion here :)
   for(int i=0;i<20;i++)
        {
          yield return waitforsec(1);
           if(i==19)
           {
           destroy(this.gameobject);
         }
      }
 

}
