Setting a function of a script off, with an other script

Hi all, i have made a timer that count down, and i want to "freeze" the time with an other script, the problem is that i don't know how to make it. Can somebody help me with it? I'm btw a beginner so i can't do alot at coding.


this is the script of the timer:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. float timeRemaining = 5;
3.         public Font f;
4.         public GUIStyle henk;
5.        
6.        
7.        
8.         // Use this for initialization
9.         void Start () {
10.            
11.         }
12.        
13.         // Update is called once per frame
14.         void Update () {
15.             timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
16.         }
17.        
18.         void OnGUI () {
19.             if (timeRemaining > 0) {
20.                 GUI.contentColor = Color.black;
21.                 GUI.skin.font = f;
22.             float scalex = Screen.width / 1280.0f;
23.             float scaley = Screen.height / 720.0f;
24.                 GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, new Vector3(scalex, scaley, 1));
25.                 GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,50,20), "Time:" + timeRemaining.ToString(" 0"), henk);
26.             }
27.             else {
28.                 Application.LoadLevel("failedLevel1");
29.             }
30.         }

 

Hi,
Use a boolean variable for stopping the countdown. Change the state of freeze to true if you want to stop the countdown

Code (CSharp):

1. float timeRemaining = 5;
2.     public Font f;
3.     public GUIStyle henk;
4.  
5.     public bool freeze; //Your boolean
6.  
7.  
8.  
9.     // Use this for initialization
10.     void Start () {
11.      
12.     }
13.  
14.     // Update is called once per frame
15.     void Update ()
16.     {
17.         if (freeze == false)
18.         {
19.             timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
20.  
21.         }
22.     }...

 

hi, thanks for your reaction. But how do i connect this with an other script?

 

For example that this is the other script:

if(wpress == true)
{
//here setting the time freeze
}

 

You have different ways for changing value with another script.

Take a look at this and that.

 

alright, thanks

 

i got a question this is my timer script now:

Code (CSharp):

1.     float timeRemaining = 5;
2.     public Font f;
3.     public GUIStyle henk;
4.     public bool parkour1;
5.    
6.    
7.     // Use this for initialization
8.     void Start () {
9.        
10.     }
11.    
12.     // Update is called once per frame
13.     void Update () {
14.         if (parkour1 == false)
15.         {
16.             timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
17.            
18.         }
19.     }
20.    
21.     void OnGUI () {
22.         if (timeRemaining > 0) {
23.             GUI.contentColor = Color.black;
24.             GUI.skin.font = f;
25.             float scalex = Screen.width / 1280.0f;
26.             float scaley = Screen.height / 720.0f;
27.             GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, new Vector3(scalex, scaley, 1));
28.             GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,50,20), "Time:" + timeRemaining.ToString(" 0"), henk);
29.         }
30.         else {
31.             Application.LoadLevel("failedLevel1");
32.         }
33.     }

and this my other script:

Code (CSharp):

1. public bool[] holeTrigger = new bool[6];
2.    
3.  
4.     protected string currentLevel;
5.     protected int worldIndex;
6.     protected int levelIndex;
7.  
8.  
9.     IEnumerator wait () {
10.         timerLevel1.parkour1 = true;
11.         UnlockLevels ();   //unlock next level funxtion
12.         Application.LoadLevel("fLevel1");
13.     }
14.  
15.  
16.     // Use this for initialization
17.     void Start () {
18.         //save the current level name
19.         currentLevel = Application.loadedLevelName;
20.     }
21.    
22.     // Update is called once per frame
23.     void Update () {
24.         //move the player based on left and right arrow keys
25.         transform.Translate(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*Time.deltaTime*10f, 0, 0); //get input
26.     }
27.  
28.    
29.  
30.     public void TriggerHole(int index) {
31.         holeTrigger[index] = true; //Set the hole trigger to true
32.        
33.         //Check if all holes have been triggered
34.         if (AllTriggered) {  
35.             StartCoroutine("wait");
36.         }
37.     }
38.    
39.  
40.     //This method will iterate through each of the triggers in the array and return false if any of them are not true.
41.     public bool AllTriggered {
42.         get{
43.             bool b = true;
44.             foreach(bool bX in holeTrigger){
45.                 if(!bX)
46.                     b = false;
47.             }
48.             return b;
49.             ;}
50.     }
51.  
52.     protected void  UnlockLevels (){
53.         //set the playerprefs value of next level to 1 to unlock
54.         for(int i = 0; i < LockLevel.worlds; i++){
55.             for(int j = 1; j < LockLevel.levels; j++){              
56.                 if(currentLevel == "Level"+(i+1).ToString() +"." +j.ToString()){
57.                     worldIndex  = (i+1);
58.                     levelIndex  = (j+1);
59.                     PlayerPrefs.SetInt("level"+worldIndex.ToString() +":" +levelIndex.ToString(),1);
60.                 }
61.             }
62.         }
63.  
64.     }
65.  

But it gives the error: An object reference is requierd to acces non-static member 'timerLevel1.parkour1'

 

Your variable ' timerLevel1 ' is undeclared and not assigned.

If those scripts are on the same GameObject you can try something like this (i don't know the name of your classes):

1) Classe TimerScript (no change)

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. public class TimerScript : MonoBehaviour
3. {
4.  
5.     float timeRemaining = 5;
6.     public Font f;
7.     public GUIStyle henk;
8.  
9.     public bool parkour1;
10.    
11.    
12.    
13.     // Use this for initialization
14.     void Start () {
15.        
16.     }
17.    
18.     // Update is called once per frame
19.     void Update ()
20.     {
21.        
22.  
23.         if (parkour1 == false)
24.         {
25.             transform.Rotate((5f),(0),(0) * (speed * Time.deltaTime));
26.             timeRemaining -= Time.deltaTime;
27.  
28.         }
29.     }
30.  
31.     public float speed = 0.1f;
32.     void OnMouseDown ()
33.     {
34.     }
35.    
36.  
37.    
38.     void OnGUI ()
39.     {
40.         if (timeRemaining > 0) {
41.             GUI.contentColor = Color.black;
42.             GUI.skin.font = f;
43.             float scalex = Screen.width / 1280.0f;
44.             float scaley = Screen.height / 720.0f;
45.             GUI.matrix = Matrix4x4.TRS(new Vector3(0, 0, 0), Quaternion.identity, new Vector3(scalex, scaley, 1));
46.             GUI.Label(new Rect(10,10,50,20), "Time:" + timeRemaining.ToString(" 0"), henk);
47.         }
48.         else
49.         {
50.             //Application.LoadLevel("failedLevel1");
51.         }
52.     }
53. }

2)

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class OtherScriptForTimer : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     public bool[] holeTrigger = new bool[6];
8.    
9.    
10.     protected string currentLevel;
11.     protected int worldIndex;
12.     protected int levelIndex;
13.  
14.     protected TimerScript timerLevel1;  // HERE Declaration of your variable
15.    
16.     IEnumerator wait ()
17.     {
18.  
19.         timerLevel1.parkour1 = true;
20.         UnlockLevels ();   //unlock next level funxtion
21.         Application.LoadLevel("fLevel1");
22.     }
23.    
24.    
25.     // Use this for initialization
26.     void Start () {
27.         //save the current level name
28.         currentLevel = Application.loadedLevelName;
29.         timerLevel1 = GetComponent<TimerScript>();   //HERE instantiate your variable
30.     }
31.    
32.     // Update is called once per frame
33.     void Update () {
34.         //move the player based on left and right arrow keys
35.         transform.Translate(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")*Time.deltaTime*10f, 0, 0); //get input
36.     }
37.    
38.    
39.    
40.     public void TriggerHole(int index) {
41.         holeTrigger[index] = true; //Set the hole trigger to true
42.        
43.         //Check if all holes have been triggered
44.         if (AllTriggered) {
45.             StartCoroutine("wait");
46.         }
47.     }
48.    
49.    
50.     //This method will iterate through each of the triggers in the array and return false if any of them are not true.
51.     public bool AllTriggered {
52.         get{
53.             bool b = true;
54.             foreach(bool bX in holeTrigger){
55.                 if(!bX)
56.                     b = false;
57.             }
58.             return b;
59.             ;}
60.     }
61.    
62.     protected void  UnlockLevels (){
63.         //set the playerprefs value of next level to 1 to unlock
64.         for(int i = 0; i < LockLevel.worlds; i++){
65.             for(int j = 1; j < LockLevel.levels; j++){            
66.                 if(currentLevel == "Level"+(i+1).ToString() +"." +j.ToString()){
67.                     worldIndex  = (i+1);
68.                     levelIndex  = (j+1);
69.                     PlayerPrefs.SetInt("level"+worldIndex.ToString() +":" +levelIndex.ToString(),1);
70.                 }
71.             }
72.         }
73.        
74.     }
75.  
76. }
77.  

 

Now its give the error not all code paths return a value

 

Ow , i forgot a yield return new waitforseconds to add, but now i got a error that says: object refernce not set to an instance of an object, i'm gonna be sick with all these errors....

Do you know the problem?
