Make a Dynamic Final Score

Hello,

I try this
float b = GetComponent<Gameplay> ().GetScore ();
for (float i=0f; i<=b; i++) {
maxScore.text = "Score:" + i.ToString ("0");
}

But the variable i dont work as expected. I want start in 0 and stop the counter in final score number.

 

What does not work as expected? What is expected, and what does it do?

 

You'll need to add some delay inside the loop, if you want see the numbers change slowly?

Check about:

What do you want to do? My guess is that you want the maxScore text to show 0, then increment and after X time show the GetScore number. Or? Where are you using this code? In an Update() function? Unless you yield after the

Code (CSharp):

1. maxScore.text = "Score:" + i.ToString ("0");

line, your for loop is essential the same thing as writing

Code (CSharp):

1. maxScore.text = "Score:" + b.ToString ("0"); // where b is equal to GetComponent<Gameplay> ().GetScore ()

.
Ah, mgear wrote during me writing this post. But yes, you could look into Coroutines and/or use Invoke/InvokeRepeating.

 

Exactly, i want see the numbers change slowly. Thank you! I will try this now!

 

Thank You! This code is inside of the method that is invoked when the game is finished. Without void Update(). I just want see the numbers change slowly in the level finished screen.

 

Solved

Code (CSharp):

1. private IEnumerator ShowScore()      
2.     {
3.  
4.  
5.         float b = GetComponent<Gameplay> ().GetScore ();
6.         for (float i=0; i<=b; i++)
7.         {
8.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(-0.1f);
9.             maxScore.text = "Score:" + i.ToString ("0") ;
10.  
11.         }
12.    
13.     }

Thank you!

 

Code (CSharp):

1. yield return new WaitForSeconds(-0.1f);

You probably want 0.1f (non-negative), although I guess 0.1f is a bit too much for the effect you want, since negative WaitForSeconds is the same as zero (and then it is better to just use yield return 0)

 

Yep, thanks! 0.001f works great too.

 

also this would wait for 1 frame:

Code (CSharp):

1. yield return null;

 

Thank you! Nice information!
