Speed Up

Hey guys!

Here's a copy of my script in hope you can help me.

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. var speed : float = 5.0;
3. function Update () {
4. transform.Translate(Vector3(0,0,speed) * Time.deltaTime);
5. }

What im trying to achieve is that every 2 seconds the speed will increase by 0.01f

im not sure on how to do this though! Any help would be sweet!

 

The easiest way I find is to put the speed declaration at the top of the script & have a timer that counts down, when it is <=0 increment your speed float & reset the timer. While the timer is >0 decrease it by time.deltatime

 

Any tips on how to implement this? I've never done any work with timers and adding values before :/

Would it just be something like?

Code (JavaScript):

1. var speed : float = 5.0;
2. var timer : float = 0.02;
3.  
4. function Update () {
5.  
6. yield WaitForSeconds(timer);
7.  
8. transform.Translate(Vector3(0,0,speed) * Time.deltaTime);
9. }

If not could you correct me please

Edit: Another Australian! ;D

 

You want your timer =2f

In update I then do

If (timer>0) timer-= time.deltatime;
Else if (timer<=0){
Speed += 0.01f;
Timer =2f;
}

Note my caps are probably wrong for this but you should get the idea.

Edit, I used c# style, I don't know js.

 

Too many around here

You can also use a coroutine or InvokeRepeating. Same concept, different implementations.

 

Never to many! How hot is NSW but!

sweet! ill take a look
