Script doesn't stop

Hi,

If I press play, I output a Text "Timer reseted" each 2 seconds into the console. If I press paly again, to stop the game in Unity, the output remains. Why?

Seems I kind of start a background process or something.

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using Debug = UnityEngine.Debug;
3. using System.Collections;
4. using System.Timers;
5. using System.Diagnostics;
6.  
7.  
8. public class Countdown : MonoBehaviour {
9.     private GameMaster gm;
10.     private GUIText countdownLabel;
11.     private Timer timer;
12.     private Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
13.  
14.     void Start ()
15.     {
16.         gm = GameObject.Find("GameMaster").GetComponent<GameMaster>();
17.  
18.         countdownLabel = GameObject.Find("Countdown").GetComponent<GUIText>();
19.  
20.         timer = new Timer(2000);
21.         timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);
22.         timer.Enabled = true;
23.  
24.         stopwatch.Start();
25.         }
26.  
27.     void Update()
28.     {
29.         countdownLabel.text = string.Format("{0}.{1}", stopwatch.Elapsed.Seconds, stopwatch.Elapsed.Milliseconds / 100);
30.     }
31.  
32.     private void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
33.     {
34.         Debug.Log("Timer restarted");
35.         RestartCountdown();
36.     }
37.  
38.     private void RestartCountdown()
39.     {
40.         gm.SwitchPlayers();
41.         timer.Stop();
42.         timer.Start();
43.         stopwatch.Reset();
44.         stopwatch.Start();
45.     }
46. }

 

Please, show the script in the forum directly and use code tags:

ok

adding

Code (csharp):

1.     private void OnApplicationPause() {
2.         stopwatch.Stop();
3.     }

didn't help.

 

Anyone has an Idea?

Edit: OnDisable() worked but I don't see why.

Why is it stil lrunning? Why do I have to disable the timer? Why doesn't Unity clean it up when closing?

 

The Timer class you're using is not a part of Unity and therefore will be completely unaware that you've paused the game. That's why it keeps going regardless of whether you're paused or not.

I'm not familiar with that particular class. It seems to me, though, that you were almost on the right track with your fix. However, it was Timer (not Stopwatch) that is calling the function, so Timer is the one you should pause on application pause.

Of course, stopwatch was the wrong one.Tiemr works in a multithreaded env. so I've to close its external thread. Isn't there a functionality that a multithreaded class needs kind of register itself on the env, in this case Unity?

It makes sense, that Unity doesn't know of this process if it was never told. Kind of assumed, that there is a internal communication.

Anyway, thanks. New to multithreading.

Solved it with

Code (csharp):

1.     void OnDisable()
2.     {
3.         timer.Close();
4.  
5.     }

 

For Me
Timer.EndInit(); Worked. In whatever Function.
