Problem with Timer

Hi all,

i am trying to set up a 20 minute count down timer but i am having trouble resetting the timer back to 20, right now it is set up to count down to 19 then add 1 minute when completed but it is returning "Resetting" in the console every cycle and not applying the changes to TwentyMinTimer. What am i missing here?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using UnityEngine.UI;
5.  
6. public class Timer : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     private float startTime;
9.     public string countDownTimer;
10.     private int TwentyMinTimer;
11.     private int SecondsCounterDown;
12.  
13.     void Start()
14.     {
15.         DontDestroyOnLoad(this.gameObject);
16.         startTime = Time.time;
17.         InvokeRepeating("TimeSinceStart", 0.01f, 1.0f);
18.  
19.     }
20.  
21.     public void TimeSinceStart()
22.     {
23.         float t = Time.time - startTime;
24.  
25.         int minutesInt = (int)t / 60;
26.         int SecondsInt = (int)t % 60;
27.  
28.         TwentyMinTimer = 20 - minutesInt;
29.         SecondsCounterDown = 59 - SecondsInt;
30.  
31.         print(TwentyMinTimer + ":" + SecondsCounterDown);
32.  
33.         if (TwentyMinTimer > 19)
34.         {
35.             TwentyMinTimer = TwentyMinTimer + 1;
36.             print("Resetting");
37.             //add life
38.         }
39.  
40.     }
41.  
42. }

 

sorry some parts of the code is named poorly, work in progress.

 

i manager to work it out, realized my < was not a > and also changed

Code (CSharp):

1. if (TwentyMinTimer > 19)
2.         {
3.             TwentyMinTimer = TwentyMinTimer + 1;
4.             print("Resetting");
5.             //add life
6.         }

for

Code (CSharp):

1.         if (TwentyMinTimer < 19)
2.         {
3.             startTime = Time.time;
4.         }
5.  

 

Rather than Time.time - timeStart you can also increment Time.timeDelta.

Code (CSharp):

1. float timeSpend += Time.timeDelta

Also rather than to that minute / second calculation in your update you do that on start :

Code (CSharp):

1. int timeEnd = 60 * 20; // for a 20 min game

And then from your update :

Code (CSharp):

1. void LateUpdate()
2. {
3.        timeSpent += Time.deltaTime;
4.        if (timeSpend >= timeEnd)
5.        {
6.             // game over
7.        }
8. }
