Dynamic Level Progress Bar

Question

I'm trying to create a level progression bar(not the loading bar at the beginning of a scene).

I have the progress bar image set up.

I'm creating a simple runner game.

Here's my logic:

I play the level and i record the time it takes to complete the level.

i store the time in a variable: levelTime

Then I want to increase the progress bar such that it takes "levelTime" seconds to fill the whole bar(in y direction).

Here's a code that i tried.

        void Update () 

       {
     gameObject.transform.localScale += new Vector3 (1, levelTime*Time.deltaTime, 1);

        }

It just scales up too quick. Any solutions? Thank you very much

Whem you multiply something by time.deltaTime you're basicly fractioning that number in the frame rate so that you have that number back in 1 second, like 50 * time.deltaTime means that you'll have the value 50 each second.

What you want is to reach the value 1 in levelTime, so do time.deltaTime / levelTime.

Thanks it works. Also, is there any way so that ins$$anonymous$$d of assigning a fixed time, i can calculate the distance from the end point and then adjust the progress bar? Thank You
