Stop checking for key input
Hello all. In the game I'm helping develop, we are trying to make an ammo system, but there's one problem. I have no idea how I would start and stop checking for input when a certain condition is met. Say I wanted to stop checking for input because they ran out of clips of ammo or because they need to reload. I was thinking that I could make a boolean (In the code you'll see that I did, it's called "CanShoot") and then say that boolean is false but I don't know how to connect the dots. Thank you for your help.
if ((Input.GetButton("Fire1") && (M4A1.activeSelf || M9.activeSelf) && Time.time > nextFire)) //Allowing the user to hold down or single click the mouse button.
{
if (M4A1.activeSelf || M9.activeSelf && Input.GetButton("Fire1"))
{
if (M4A1.activeSelf)
{
M4A1_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(true);
M9_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(false);
CurrentM4A1Ammo -= 1;
Vector3 M4A1BulletPosition = new Vector3(-0.232f, 0.3f, -0.067f);
Instantiate(M4A1Bullet, BulletPosition, Quaternion.identity);
FinalM4A1Ammo = CurrentM4A1Ammo;
M4A1_Ammo.value = CurrentM4A1Ammo;
print("M4A1 ammo is " + CurrentM4A1Ammo);
if (CurrentM4A1Ammo == 0)
{
CanShoot = false;
M4A1Clips -= 1;
print("M4A1 clips: " + M4A1Clips);
M4A1_Ammo.value = CurrentM4A1Ammo;
if ((Input.GetButton("Fire1") && (M4A1.activeSelf || M9.activeSelf) && Time.time > nextFire))
{
if (M9.activeSelf)
{
M9_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(true);
M9_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(false);
CurrentM9Ammo -= 1;
// Instantiate(M4A1Bullet, BulletPosition, Quaternion.identity);
FinalM4A1Ammo = CurrentM4A1Ammo;
M4A1_Ammo.value = CurrentM4A1Ammo;
print("M9 ammo is " + CurrentM4A1Ammo);
}
}
if (M4A1Clips == 0)
{
// Disallow reload here.
// Disallow Fire1 here.
}
}
if (CanShoot == false)
{
// This is where you would disable checkforinput.
}
}
if (M9.activeSelf)
{
M9_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(true);
M4A1_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(false);
CurrentM9Ammo -= 1;
Vector3 M9BulletPosition = new Vector3(-0.232f, 0.3f, -0.067f);
// Instantiate(M4A1Bullet, BulletPosition, Quaternion.identity);
FinalM9Ammo = CurrentM9Ammo;
M9_Ammo.value = CurrentM9Ammo;
print("M9 ammo is " + CurrentM9Ammo);
if (CurrentM9Ammo == 0)
{
M9Clips -= 1;
print("M9 clips: " + M9Clips);
M9_Ammo.value = CurrentM9Ammo;
if ((Input.GetButton("Fire1") && (M4A1.activeSelf || M9.activeSelf) && Time.time > nextFire))
{
if (M9.activeSelf)
{
M9_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(true);
M4A1_Ammo.gameObject.SetActive(false);
CurrentM9Ammo -= 1;
// Instantiate(M4A1Bullet, BulletPosition, Quaternion.identity);
FinalM9Ammo = CurrentM9Ammo;
M9_Ammo.value = CurrentM9Ammo;
print("M9 ammo is " + CurrentM9Ammo);
}
}
if (M9Clips == 0)
{
// Disallow reload here.
// Disable fire1 here.
}
}
}
It should be as simple as making a bool and encapsulating your input check inside of an if statement like so.
public bool canFire;
void Update()
{
if (canFire)
{
if ((Input.GetButton("Fire1") && (M4A1.activeSelf || M9.activeSelf) && Time.time > nextFire))
{
//Your firing method.
if (ammo <= 0)
{
canFire = false;
}
}
}
}
Is there anyway that you know of where I can stop checking for input of a function? Thank you.
As @RobAnthen stated, you couldmake use of a bool so you can control when to check for an input. That canFire stops or allows the Input check execution, when canFire == true firing is enabled ergo the code the if statement encapsulates becomes avaliable but when it is canFire == false the code the if statement encapsulates isn't avaliable.
if(canFire){ //Same as canFire == true
//The Input check goes here and only becomes accesible when canfire is true
}
