Need some help!

Hey guys! Currently working on a game I need to make and am currently running into two issues:

1. This one is probably more simple. My player has two attack animations that he should alternate between if the button is pressed. However if the button is not pressed within a short time it will reset to the first attack. I know I probably need a stopwatch but i'm not sure how to do it. I really just need some instructions on how to do that.

2. My character can jump and land on my tilemap but only if there are two solid grid places taken up. But my tilemap also has like wooden platforms that do not take up a full grid box. Anyone might know whats wrong?

Im gonna put this post on other forums just in case.

 

For question 1, make your own timer, just a float variable:

Code (csharp):

1. float timeSinceAttack;

Then in update:

Code (csharp):

1. timeSinceAttack += Time.deltaTime;

Now when you do the first attack,

Code (csharp):

1. timeSinceAttack = 0.0f;  //reset attack timer

And when you try the attack again you say:

Code (csharp):

1. if (timeSinceAttack < 0.5f)
2. {
3.   // do second attack
4. }
5. else
6. {
7.   // go back to first attack
8. }

I'm not sure about question 2... could you perhaps draw a diagram or screenshot what you mean, perhaps with the tilegrid visible?

 

The first image is from my tile palette and I can jump up and and down just fine, but on the wooden platform, when I jump it does not count as landing and keeps playing my jumping animation and code

 

void Update()
{
timeSinceAttack += Time.deltaTime;

if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.O))
{
timeSinceAttack = 0f;
Attack();

if (timeSinceAttack < 0.5f )
{
Attack2();
}
else
{
Attack();
}
}
got this and I think its right but it doesnt work. If it helps, in the animator, Attack1 transitions to Attack2 if it becomes true(It is a bool) and back if it becomes false. I feel like this may be the issue now.

 

Use code tags

Figure out what in your code is considered landing... apparently the wooden platforms don't have whatever the other platforms have that cause it, perhaps a property in the collider, its layer, its name, could be anything you chose.

 

Read slowly through your logic. You set time to zero and then ALWAYS do an attack (the first one), then always do an attack2 (the second one) because time will now be zero.

try this flow (make it syntactically correct obviously):

count up the timer

if attack button pressed:

  if time < 0.5

    do attack2

  else

    do attack

  time = 0

and please use code tags!
