Replay...?

How would I go about having a game restart after a certain amount of time or score? I have for instance tried:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. if (timeLeft == 0){
3.     Application.LoadLevel (0);
4. }

But it seems to just hang...?

Thanks in advance...

 

Application.LoadLevel() seems to work pretty good for me in RC1...

 

I tried this on the "Simple Unity Tutorial" using 1.1rc1 and it reloads the level but everything hangs as though it's waiting to be initiated or as though the scripts are missing... could it be the way I am calling it? Here is the enitre code below:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var startTime = 30.0;
3. function Update () {
4. // The time left for player to complete level!
5. timeLeft = startTime - Time.time;
6. // Don't let the time left go below zero.
7. timeLeft = Mathf.Max (0, timeLeft);
8. // Format the time nicely
9. guiText.text = FormatTime (timeLeft);
10. if (timeLeft == 0){
11.     Application.LoadLevel (0);
12.     }
13. }
14. // Format time like this
15. // 12[minutes]:34[seconds].5[fraction]
16. function FormatTime (time)
17. {
18. var intTime : int = time;
19. var minutes : int = intTime / 60;
20. var seconds : int = intTime % 60;
21. var fraction : int = time * 10;
22. fraction = fraction % 10;
23. // Build string with format
24. // 12[minutes]:34[seconds].5[fraction]
25. timeText = minutes.ToString () + ":";
26. timeText = timeText + seconds.ToString ();
27. timeText += "." + fraction.ToString ();
28. return timeText;
29. }

 

I added the Debug.log... and it looks like game does not reset the time. I tried to reset the variable of StartTime to 30.0, but it does not seem to work... any help here would be appreciated as I am an absolute beginnner just looking to get some good basics out of the way.

Thanks for all the help.

 

Thanks Joachim!
I played a little with this this morning and decided I should go to work and not be late (as unity has a tendency to make me late each morning lately ), so I of course couldn't get it to work... I think I understand the Awake () function and what needs to happen. Thanks for the reply. BTW, I tried the "game" on the PC and in some cases the playback is okay and others it has some serious slow down. I am not really a PC guy, but it may have been the Graphics Cards for the slower machines.

I have included a screenshot of the "simple unity tutorial" with this post if you are interested in seeing it. I am sure I will have more questions as I get the bigger pictures... thanks again for the help.

 

This doesn't seem to reset time for me, Joe, after I reload the level. If I start with 60 seconds, finish the level in 30, wait 15 seconds to reload the game, then reload it the timer in game shows only 15 seconds remaining.

Wouldn't it just be easier to create a variable called secondsLeft = 60 and in one of the function Updates remove 1 from it's value using each second?

 

Sorry to correct you, but I believe that should be: var secondsLeft = 60.0;

That way it infers as a float and not an int. I know you were typing in a hurry between programming.

This thing is driving me crazy. First of all I preface that I'm using the 1.1 stable version and everything works fine in the editor, the problem occurs only in stand alone (both app and widget).
I have a main menu with a script that uses LoadLevel() to load the first level. The game over script brings back to the main menu and that's fine. But when the menu script loads the first level again the level is without any script :?
Could someone provide a possible word of explanation for that?
I would post some code, if only I could know which part I should post

Thank you very much

 

Thank you, I read your post only now. I'll send a bug report shortly.
OTEE guys definitely rock my world
