Resolved Issues with rhythm game code - notes scrolling

Apologies in advance if anything is worded poorly, I'm still new to Unity!

I was in the middle of following a tutorial online and was creating a prototype for a 2D rhythm game, DDR-style where notes scroll down from the top of the screen.

I had created a script called GameManager that would play both the music and start the notes scrolling down when a key is pressed.

However, because of that I had to omit a part of the script from the scrolling note script I had in place for the notes/arrows in order for them to scroll when prompted (which was fine at the time, the notes wouldn't scroll until a key was pressed) and I did, and added the other necessary code to the GameManager to replace it.

However, now when I press "play" the notes automatically scroll down and the music only plays once I press a key!

Below is the scrolling note code;

Code (CSharp):

1. using System;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using System.Collections.Generic;
4. using UnityEngine;
5.  
6. public class BeatScroller : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     public float beatTempo;
9.  
10.     public bool hasStarted;
11.  
12.     // Start is called before the first frame update
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.         beatTempo = beatTempo / 60f;
16.     }
17.  
18.     // Update is called once per frame
19.     void Update()
20.     {
21.  
22.        /* if (!hasStarted)
23.         {
24.             if (Input.anyKeyDown)
25.             {
26.                 hasStarted = true;
27.             }  [This part of the code is omitted due to the GameManager script replacing this particular part of code]*/
28.        
29.        
30.        
31.             transform.position -= new Vector3(0f, beatTempo * Time.deltaTime, 0f);
32.         }
33.  
34.  
35.     }

And this is the GameManager code;

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class GameManager : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.     public AudioSource theMusic;
8.  
9.     public bool startPlaying;
10.  
11.     public BeatScroller theBS;
12.  
13.  
14.  
15.     // Start is called before the first frame update
16.     void Start()
17.     {
18.        
19.     }
20.  
21.     // Update is called once per frame
22.     void Update()
23.     {
24.         if(!startPlaying)
25.         {
26.             if(Input.anyKeyDown)
27.             {
28.                 startPlaying = true;
29.                 theBS.hasStarted = true;
30.  
31.                 theMusic.Play();
32.             }
33.         }
34.     }
35. }
36.  

Is there anywhere I have gone wrong for this to happen? Any ideas on what I could try to do in order to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

you are moving your beats in the update method. There was a bool preventing it from moving but you have commented that out. So access the bool in your gamemanger and only scroll if it is true.

 

Thank you for your response! Unfortunately, I'm still new to Unity and I would be grateful if you were to elaborate on how I could do this?
Edit: No need, I was able to work it out. Thank you so much for your help!
