How to Build a Death counter with Player Prefs

Hi i would like to make a Death counter with PlayerPrefs, my Problem is the Player die if he fall from a Platform
and his Position get under -12. if i write:

if (transform.position.y < -12)
{

counter++;
Time.timeScale = 0f;
hudEnd.SetActive(true);



}

is updating for every Frame and the value get a Higher value.

 

So when your character falls below -12 he dies, and you want counter++ to only be called once, not every frame? If so, simply introduce a bool "isDead", which you set true when the character is dead, and on which you can base further decisions. Example:

Code (CSharp):

1. if (transform.position.y < -12 && !isDead)
2. {
3.     isDead = true;
4.     counter++;
5.     Time.timeScale = 0f;
6.     hudEnd.SetActive(true);
7. }

Remember to reset the position and isDead (to false) when the player respawns. Doing this makes it so that counter is incremented once for each time the player dies.
Also, please use code tags in the future like above. Makes reading examples easier.

 

thanks for help but i found a another way which is even similar to your solution

 

There are a lot similar solutions for this problem, it is called state, check here https://gameprogrammingpatterns.com/state.html
