I am using Time.time but it shows error.Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the code?

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public Text timerText;
8.     private float startTime;
9.  
10.     void Start()
11.     {
12.         startTime = Time.time;
13.  
14.     }
15.  
16.     // Update is called once per frame
17.     void Update()
18.     {
19.         float t = Time.time = startTime;
20.  
21.         string minutes = ( (int) t / 60 ).ToString();
22.         string seconds = ( t % 60 ).ToString();
23.  
24.         timerText.text = minutes + ":" + seconds;
25.     }
26. }
27.  

 

Hi

Please format you code with code tags - you can edit your post with edit button.

Your error message tells you exactly what is wrong - you can't assign to Time.time value, like you are doing in your code. It is a read only value, like the error message says.

 

Thanks.Now the code works.

 

float t = Time.time = startTime;

This line is the problem. Assuming you want to assign Time.time to startTime, and t, just switch the order:

float t = startTime = Time.time;

Assignments happen right to left. You can't assign to Time.time, so that caused the error.
