Question How do i force the user to execute The first if statement then he can execute the else if one

i have a mini text game here , and i have an if statement but the user can execute what's inside else if before the If one and that breaks the game , how do i prevent that


my code :

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6.  
7.  
8.  
9. public class MainScript : MonoBehaviour
10. {
11.     StateScript State;
12.  
13.     [SerializeField] Text PlayerHp;
14.     [SerializeField] Text StoryText;
15.     [SerializeField] StateScript FirstState;
16.  
17.  
18.     // Start is called before the first frame update
19.     void Start()
20.     {
21.         State = FirstState;
22.         StoryText.text = State.GetStoryLine();
23.         PlayerHp.text = State.GetPlayerHp();
24.  
25.    
26.      
27.     }
28.  
29.     // Update is called once per frame
30.     void Update()
31.     {
32.         ManageStates();
33.     }
34.  
35.     void ManageStates()
36.     {
37.         StateScript[] NextState = State.GetNextStates();
38.  
39.         for (int index = 0; index < NextState.Length; index++)
40.             if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1 + index))
41.             {
42.                 {
43.                     State = NextState[index];
44.  
45.                 }
46.             }
47.             else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return))
48.             {
49.  
50.                 State = NextState[0];
51.  
52.             }
53.  
54.                 StoryText.text = State.GetStoryLine();
55.         PlayerHp.text = State.GetPlayerHp();
56.  

 

your code looks really messy, I think this warrants a full rewrite

the else if is always available as long as the number is not pressed, which you would need frame perfect timing to pull off

 

I'm Still learning like still in the basics and stuff ,
i don't think you understood me

i want the player to first execute the first if statement
then it would be available to execute the else if one

do you know how can i do this ?

 

i understand what I want but I was just saying that there are many things wrong with this code, anyway here is a way to do what you want:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5. public class MainScript : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     StateScript State;
8.     [SerializeField] Text PlayerHp;
9.     [SerializeField] Text StoryText;
10.     [SerializeField] StateScript FirstState;
11.  
12. public bool secondIFallowed = false;
13.     // Start is called before the first frame update
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         State = FirstState;
17.         StoryText.text = State.GetStoryLine();
18.         PlayerHp.text = State.GetPlayerHp();
19.  
20.    
21.     }
22.     // Update is called once per frame
23.     void Update()
24.     {
25.         ManageStates();
26.     }
27.     void ManageStates()
28.     {
29.         StateScript[] NextState = State.GetNextStates();
30.         for (int index = 0; index < NextState.Length; index++)
31.          
32. if( secondIFallowed == true){
33.  
34.   if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Return))
35.             {
36.  
37.                 State = NextState[0];
38. secondIFallowed = false;
39.  
40.             }
41.  
42. }
43.  
44. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Alpha1 + index))
45.             {
46.                 {
47.                     State = NextState[index];
48. secondIFallowed = true;
49.                 }
50.             }
51.  
52.  
53.  
54.        
55.                 StoryText.text = State.GetStoryLine();
56.         PlayerHp.text = State.GetPlayerHp();

also its really messy that you dont have brackets on your for loop
