Question by michaelmadnesss · Jun 04, 2021 at 06:40 PM · c#timer-script rhythm

Making my Timer start with a key press, instead of starting when the game starts.

So I made a timer for my game, It's going to be a Rhythm type game. I'm aiming for adding time so I can add visual events to my song. (for example: if time = 10 then this happens etc etc). the timer wont be visible in the game. I have my timer set up, everything is going well and I know what to do, except for one thing.. My timer starts when the game starts. I want it to start when I press a key, which is when the level starts.

here's my code. feel free to point me in the right direction or make modifications to my code for it to do what I desire.

 using System.Collections;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Diagnostics;
 
 public class SongEvents : MonoBehaviour
 {
 
     public int CurStep;
 
     public int bpm;
 
     public int beatTempo;
 
     public int StartManager;
 
     public float timeDisplay;
 
     // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         StartManager = 0;
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update()
     {
         if (Input.anyKeyDown)
         {
             StartManager = 1;
         }
         if (StartManager == 1)
         {
             timeDisplay = (Mathf.Round(timeDisplay / 1));
             timeDisplay = Time.time;
             CurStep = ((int)(timeDisplay / 0.25));
         }
     }
 }
