Mana problem

Hi,

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var MP=50;
3. var req=1;
4. var Spell=false
5. function update()
6. {
7.    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F))
8.    {
9.     Spell = !Spell;
10.    }
11.    if(Spell)
12.    {
13.    MP -= req*Time.deltaTime;
14.    }
15. }
16.  

My mana should reduce by 1 each second, but it runs out in few secs instead of 50 secs.
Can anyone help?

 

Thats because the function update runs every frame. If you have 25frames/sec it needs 2 sec to reduce your MP to 0.

EDIT:

sorry. For this case you use Time.deltaTime... Did not think about it enough... So now i don´t know :/ sorry

 

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. float MP=50.0f;
3. float req=1.0f;
4. var Spell=false
5. function update()
6. {
7.    if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.F))
8.    {
9.     Spell = !Spell;
10.    }
11.    if(Spell)
12.    {
13.    MP -= req*Time.deltaTime;
14.    }
15. }
16.  

Try this, see if it works. Your MP is created as an int, not a float. Setting it to a float value truncates your value.


int MP = 50;
MP = MP - 0.5f;
MP will = 49 not 49.5.

This is why i always type my variables, "var" annoys me to know end i hate when people use it.

 

Agree with the above, though I will say that I am a fan of var when used properly (such as when the RHS clearly defines the type for you).
