Am I going crazy?

For this code shouldn't the time decrease, in game it seems as if it is increasing

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. yield return new WaitForSeconds(Maxtime);
3.  
4.             }
5.     }
6.  
7.     void SpawnTime(float time)
8.     {
9.         if (Maxtime - time > Mintime)        
10.             Maxtime -= time;
11.        
12.         else
13.             Maxtime = Mintime;
14.     }
15.  

 

Can you explain what your code is supposed to do? It seems confusing.

 

Sure, so when SpawnTime is called it should first check if the time is greater than the minimum time if true then it should decrease the time if not the maximum time should = the minimum time.
the yield return is part of a coroutine.

 

Seems like gibberish.

 

I don't follow?

 

What you posted is entirely invalid code, and I'm not sure what you actually what it to do, so it is gibberish?

 

Well, it seems that your code is doing exactly what you want, so what is the problem?

 

it is gibberish but here's what you probably want to do. I think your code is falling foul of order of precedence, you can't write your if statements like that. try like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. void SpawnTime(float time)
2.     {
3.         if (time > Mintime)      
4.             Maxtime -= time;
5.          else
6.             Maxtime = Mintime;
7.     }

 

Basically it controls the spawn time of some objects in game however it seems that every time its called the spawn time increases when it should decrease.
I think I am going crazy :S

 

just a hint, use monodevelop and stick a break point on the beginning of the function and single step through and watch your variables change, this will help you in future to better learn how to code and show you in this case what is going wrong.

 

Code (CSharp):

1. void SpawnTime(float time)
2.     {
3.         if (time > Mintime)      
4.             Maxtime -= time;
5.          else
6.             Maxtime = Mintime;
7.     }

[/QUOTE]

Theses are the three float values:
float time = 0.05f;
float Maxtime = 1.15f;
float Mintime = 0.9f;

 

Thanks for the advice!

 

Let me see, ¿do you want to set a timer but it can't be greater than Maxtime and less than Mintime?

 

The idea is for it to start at the max time then decrease till it reaches the min time then doesn't change.

 

Thanks for all the responses but I figured it out!

 

Sorry, but what is Invalid code? I'm still pretty new to coding.

 

When someone says "invalid code" they mean it won't work right. The sample you posted in the first post you cannot simply copy and paste into the IDE and have it compile properly. So yes, invalid code = not working code.

 

Ohh, I get it. Thanks!
