Ignoring button clicks for second action
Sorry for the title, I didn't know how to word it correctly.
Let's say I have a script:
This script has 2 states.
State 1: Idle
State 2: Unit Selected
State 1: if (left mouse button is clicked) {
Highlight friendly unit
switch to unit selected state
}
State 2: if (left mouse button is clicked) {
move unit to click position
}
Now the problem I'm having is that when I click to select a unit in the first state, the code accepts that click, but will switch states, get the location of the click and spawn the unit all within that same click of the button. Is there a way I can make the code take the first click then wait for the second click to initiate the second state?
I've tried switching the states only on mouse button up, but this does not seem to work.
Here's the actual code if my explanation doesn't make any sense.
if (currentState == State.Empty) { //NOTHING SELECTED
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
RaycastHit hit;
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit, 100.0f)) {
Debug.Log ("You selected " + hit.transform.name);
//IF PLAYER CLICKS ON A UNIT
if (hit.transform.tag == "Unit") {
SelectedUnit = hit.transform.gameObject;
currentState = State.Unit;
}
}
}
}
if (currentState == State.Unit) { //UNIT CURRENTLY SELECTED
if (Input.GetMouseButtonDown (0)) {
RaycastHit hit;
Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
SetTilePos ();
if (Physics.Raycast (ray, out hit, 100.0f)) {
//SELECT TILE WHILE UNIT IS SELECTED
if (hit.transform.tag == "Control") {
SelectedUnit.GetComponent<AIMoveTo> ().target = hit.transform;
ClearUnit ();
currentState = State.Empty;
}
}
}
}

Good day.
The solutios is siimple.
Look at your code, you have 2 general "if" parts, checking currentState.
BUT! the first part, changes this surrentstate, and it continues the script to find the next "if" part. You change the state right before that, so it enters this new if part.
The solution? MAke the code enters ONLY one of the "if" with a "else if"!
if (currentState == State.Empty) { //NOTHING SELECTED
{
[things...]
currentState = State.Unit;
}
else if (currentState == State.Unit) { //UNIT CURRENTLY SELECTED
{
[things...]
}
Now it can only enters one of the part, even if one of this part change the condituion (the next iteration of the code will eneter to the other part)
Good luck!
Bye!
