Attack Script makes me respawn?

Hi guys,

Made this script while following a tutorial, it works fine no compile errors, however when I press the button (f) it basically enables my respawn script, or at least that is what I think.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class PlayerAttacking : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.  
7.     private bool attacking = false;
8.  
9.     private float attackTimer = 0;
10.     private float attackCd = 0.3f;
11.  
12.     public Collider2D attackTrigger;
13.  
14.     private Animator anim;
15.  
16.  
17.     void Awake()
18.     {
19.         anim = gameObject.GetComponent<Animator>();
20.         attackTrigger.enabled = false;
21.     }
22.     void Update()
23.     {
24.         if (Input.GetKeyDown("f") && !attacking)
25.         {
26.             attacking = true;
27.             attackTimer = attackCd;
28.  
29.             attackTrigger.enabled = true;
30.         }
31.         if (attacking)
32.         {
33.             if (attackTimer > 0)
34.             {
35.                 attackTimer -= Time.deltaTime;
36.             }
37.             else
38.             {
39.                 attacking = false;
40.                 attackTrigger.enabled = false;
41.             }
42.         }
43.     }
44. }
45.  

Thanks guys, any help is very much appreciated!

 

What exactly is meant to happen? All it looks like is you hit f & a timer counts down & nothing else happens

 

It is ment to play an animation. I have added it to my controleed and then added the attacking parameter to it

 

Do you have any other scripts because there isn't anything there that will respawn you? Perhaps when you are attacking the enemy is actually damaging & killing you?

 

I have another script that rests the level when you hit a collider but this just restarts the level when you press f

 

Does the respawn script interacto with the collider? Maybe when you enable it, it automatically collides with something and respawns you.

Could you post the respawn script?

 

When you activate the attack the collider may be hitting yourself

 

No, let me elaborate. I press play on my game I spawn. I do not move at all I just stand there and press f, then the game respawns. That is all that is happening. NO idea why

 

Then your collider for the attack is probably hitting yourself because the code you posted has no way to respawn. You said the level only restarts when the collider hits something so if the player isn't near anything & it resets when you press f then the collider has to be hitting something & logically that can only be the player hitting himself.
(Now I have a picture of a bully saying "stop hitting yourself" as he uses the players hand to hit himself)

 

I still think that it's the collider. Remember that, when you activate a collider, it activates for all scripts, not just the one activating it.

Thus, if you have something like

Code (CSharp):

1. if (/*collides with something*/) {
2. respawn();
3. }

somewhere else in the code, it will automatically respawn, since it will collide with something, be it a floor, or itself, as @tedthebug said.

Itwould be helpful if you posted your respawn code, though.
