how do i make my spawn system spawn every 2 seconds then wait 10minutes?
so i have made mob generator just fine and they spawn but they only spawn once i wonder how i can allow them to spawn every 2 seconds then stop spawning after 10minutes wait 10minutes then spawn a new wave, at the moment it set to random range and selects a mob at random thanks for any help
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic;
public class MobGenerator : MonoBehaviour { public enum State { Idle, Initialize, Setup, SpawnMob } public GameObject[] mobPrefabs; //array to hold all mob prefabs public GameObject[] spawnPoints; //array of spawn points
public State state;
void Awake() {
state = MobGenerator.State.Initialize;
}
// Use this for initialization
IEnumerator Start () {
while(true) {
switch(state) {
case State.Initialize:
Initialize();
break;
case State.Setup:
Setup();
break;
case State.SpawnMob:
SpawnMob();
break;
}
yield return 0;
}
}
private void Initialize() {
if(!CheckForMobPrefabs())
return;
if(!CheckForMobSpawn())
return;
state = MobGenerator.State.Setup;
}
private void Setup() {
state = MobGenerator.State.SpawnMob;
}
private void SpawnMob() {
GameObject[] avaliable = AvailableSpawnPoints();
for(int cnt = 0; cnt < avaliable.Length; cnt++) {
GameObject SpawnMob = Instantiate(mobPrefabs[Random.Range(0, mobPrefabs.Length)],
avaliable[cnt].transform.position,
Quaternion.identity
) as GameObject;
SpawnMob.transform.parent = avaliable[cnt].transform;
state = MobGenerator.State.Idle;
}
}
//check for mobs
private bool CheckForMobPrefabs() {
if(mobPrefabs.Length > 0)
return true;
else
return false;
}
private bool CheckForMobSpawn() {
if(spawnPoints.Length > 0)
return true;
else
return false;
}
private GameObject[] AvailableSpawnPoints() {
List<GameObject> avaliable = new List<GameObject>();
for(int cnt = 0; cnt < spawnPoints.Length; cnt++) {
if( spawnPoints[cnt].transform.childCount == 0) {
avaliable.Add(spawnPoints[cnt]);
}
}
return avaliable.ToArray();
}
}
Add a canSpawn var, and switch it between true to false. It would look like something like that.
var canSpawn : boolean = true;
var spawnTime : float = 600.0;
var spawnClockStart : float = 0.0;
var spawnClockEnd : float = 1.0;
var spawnClockCur : float = 0.0;
var lerpAmt : float = 0.0;
function Update(){
lerpAmt += Time.deltaTime / spawnTime;
spawnClockCur = Mathf.Lerp (spawnClockStart, spawnClockEnd, lerpAmt);
if(canSpawn &&
spawnClockCur <= 1.0){
canSpawn = false;
lerpAmt = 0.0;
spawClockCur = 0.0;
}
if(!canSpawn &&
spawnClockCur <= 1.0){
canSpawn = true;
lerpAmt = 0.0;
spawnClockCur = 0.0;
}
}
With this, just use the "canSpawn" as the condition to spawn your ennemies.
PS: I'm aware it's not a "Clean" code, it's just to show the principle of it.
thanks now i didnt use code but it definitely help me understand what i was going for thanks very much works perfectly now
No Problem :P Don't forget to choose as answer so the topic is set to "Answered" :P
Hello, i see that you use an FSM here. You can make a new State called "WaitTenMins" or something like that and set it after spawning the mobs. In the function you can try this:
public float waitTime = 10F * 60F; //ten minutes
private float nextWaveTime = 0.0F;
void WaitTenMins() {
if (Time.time > nextWaveTime) {
state = MobGenerator.State.SpawnMobs;
}
}
Of course you will need to set the nextWaveTime to Time.time + waitTime before you set the state to "WaitTenMins". Hope that helps.
oh yes i actually did do this but i did take the first guys answer but thanks very much added a few extra floats and a bool ill post it later :P
my bad, edited to work for the ten $$anonymous$$utes ins$$anonymous$$d of 10 seconds XD. thanks.
I may be able to help, as I have done this in my game, but I use java script. Do you mind totally changing your script to javascript???
