Stopping Character Movement through a Function/Trigger help

So my one level game to test BCI applications on is complete, but if the player produces a 'Game Over', they can still move the character (just a ball) around for the duration of the 3 second respawn timer. I don't even need the ball to vanish upon death - just removing player input for the 3 seconds would be enough.

This is the code for the movement:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. private Rigidbody rb;
3.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. rb = GetComponent<RigidBody>();
3.  

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void FixedUpdate () //Using Physics to move the ball (applying forces to the Rigidbody)
3.     {
4.         float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"); //This is the x value (left to right movement).
5.         float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"); //This is the z value (forwards and backwards movement).
6.  
7.         Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical); //These x, y ,z values determine the direction of the force added to the ball.
8.  
9.         rb.AddForce (movement * speed); //Default force mode by ommitting it from the code, using vector 3, a simple RigidBody AddForce. We can control this value from inside the editor with 'speed' added.
10.     }
11.  
12.     public void  GameOver(){
13.         StartCoroutine("Wait");
14.     }
15.  

This is the restart level function:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. IEnumerator RestartLevel() {
3.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(3f);
4.         int scene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex;
5.         SceneManager.LoadScene(scene, LoadSceneMode.Single);
6.     }
7.  

Which is called here:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void SetHealthText ()
3.     {
4.         healthText.text = "Health: " + health.ToString ();
5.         if (health <= 0)
6.         {
7.         loseText.text = "Game Over";
8.         StartCoroutine(RestartLevel());
9.         }
10.    
11.     }
12.  

In addition, upon building the game and playing it, the application is meant to close 5 seconds after the objective is met, but it doesn't. The code is:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. IEnumerator CloseGame(){
3.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f);
4.         Application.Quit();
5.     }
6.  

Which is called in:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.     void SetCountText ()
3.     {
4.         countText.text = "Cubes Collected: " + count.ToString () + "/10"; // Adds the value of count to the countText property e.g. "Count: 1".
5.         if (count >= 10) //If the player has collected all of the cubes
6.         {
7.                 winText.text = "You Win!";
8.                 CloseGame ();
9.         }
10.            
11.     }
12.  

I've looked around for ages and the results I'm finding don't seem to solve the issue, any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Calling a coroutine from your GameOver method isn't going to block the FixUpdate from running. You'll want a bool that gets set when you GameOver that prevents the FixedUpdate from applying user input. You can do that like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. private bool inputEnabled = true;
2.  
3. void FixedUpdate () //Using Physics to move the ball (applying forces to the Rigidbody)
4. {
5.     if (!inputEnabled)
6.         return;
7.     float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal"); //This is the x value (left to right movement).
8.     float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical"); //This is the z value (forwards and backwards movement).
9.     Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical); //These x, y ,z values determine the direction of the force added to the ball.
10.     rb.AddForce (movement * speed); //Default force mode by ommitting it from the code, using vector 3, a simple RigidBody AddForce. We can control this value from inside the editor with 'speed' added.
11. }
12. public void  GameOver()
13. {
14.     inputEnabled = false;
15. }

If you reuse the same ball when you restart the level rather than creating a new one, you'll need to set inputEnabled back to true to get inputs working again.

The game isn't closing when you complete the objective because you're calling CloseGame directly instead of calling it as a coroutine. You should call it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. StartCoroutine(CloseGame());

 

Thank you very much, both of your suggestions worked!
