This light's intensity won't change?

I have a script that functions as the player's stamina bar. Here's that...

Code (JavaScript):

1. #pragma strict
2. var staminaBar : GameObject;
3. var fadeTime : float = 0.20763;
4. var timerSpeed : float = 0;
5. var startPosition : float = 0;
6. var endPosition : float = 0;
7. var jumpStamina : float = 0;
8. var sprintTrigger : GameObject;
9. var staminaTimer : Light;
10. var player : CharacterController;
11.  
12. function Start ()
13. {
14.     staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x = startPosition;
15. }
16. function Update ()
17. {
18.     if (Input.GetButton("Sprint") && Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") || Input.GetButton("Sprint") && Input.GetAxis("Vertical"))
19.         if (staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x < endPosition)
20.             if (player.isGrounded)
21.         {
22.             staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x += 0.1 * Time.deltaTime / fadeTime;
23.         }
24.  
25.  
26.  
27.     if (sprintTrigger.activeSelf)
28.         if (staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x > startPosition)
29.             if(staminaTimer.GetComponent.<Light>().intensity == 0)
30.         {
31.             staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x -= 0.1 * Time.deltaTime / fadeTime;
32.         }
33.  
34.  
35.  
36.  
37.     if (Input.GetButton("Sprint") && Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") || Input.GetButton("Sprint") && Input.GetAxis("Vertical"))
38.         {
39.         sprintTrigger.SetActive (false);
40.         }
41.         else
42.         {
43.         sprintTrigger.SetActive (true);
44.         }
45.  
46.  
47.  
48.     if (Input.GetButtonDown("Jump"))
49.         if (player.isGrounded)
50.             if (staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x < endPosition)
51.         {
52.             staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x += jumpStamina;
53.             }
54.  
55.  
56.  
57.     if (staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x == endPosition)
58.     {
59.         staminaTimer.GetComponent.<Light>().intensity = 8;
60.     }
61.  
62.     staminaTimer.GetComponent.<Light>().intensity -= 0.1 * Time.deltaTime / timerSpeed;
63. }

I am having one issue though. The last statement isn't working. The one where I want the intensity of the light to change to 8. I'm not sure why that is...

Code (JavaScript):

1. if (staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x == endPosition)
2.     {
3.         staminaTimer.GetComponent.<Light>().intensity = 8;
4.     }

Why is this not working?

 

probably due to floats imprecision (there's a name for that i cant remember)

maybe Mathf.Approximately does what you need

 

How exactly would I do that?

 

since timerSpeed looks like never changed (0) it can be because of the divide by zero error

try setting timerSpeed to 1

 

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Mathf.Approximately(staminaBar.GetComponent.<RectTransform>().anchoredPosition.x ,endPosition))
2.     {
3.         staminaTimer.GetComponent.<Light>().intensity = 8;
4.     }

your problem could be somewhere else, but comparing floats is never a good idea, they have an ''imprecision'' to them that can make two floats slightly different from one another, even though youd think they should be the same, for example, 0.1 + 0.1 can result in something like 0.2000001, instead of just 0.2
