Question Trying to count using Time.deltaTime

Hey there!

I've been trying to figure out a way to wait a few seconds before the level reloads (as to let the animation play). I found various people were using

Code (CSharp):

1. timer +- Time.deltaTime

And so I implemented it in a way that I think should work, but isn't?

Code (CSharp):

1. public class PlayerDeath : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     private Animator anim;
4.     const float waitingTime = 3f;
5.     private float timer = 0.0f;
6.     private Rigidbody2D rb;
7.     CapsuleCollider2D m_Collider;
8.  
9.  
10.      private void Start()
11.     {
12.         anim = GetComponent<Animator>();
13.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
14.         m_Collider = GetComponent<CapsuleCollider2D>();
15.      
16.     }
17.  
18.  
19.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
20.     {
21.         if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Trap"))
22.         {
23.             Die();
24.         }
25.  
26.     }
27.  
28.     private void Die()
29.     {
30.         anim.SetTrigger("Death");
31.         GetComponent<CharacterMovement>().enabled = false;
32.         GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent<FollowPlayer>().enabled = false;
33.         m_Collider.enabled = false;
34.         rb.velocity = new Vector3(1, 5, 1);
35.      
36.         timer += Time.deltaTime;
37.         if (timer >= waitingTime)
38.           SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);
39.          
40.     }
41. }

Can any of you tell what I've missed? Thank you so much in advance.

 

Oncollision enter only calls once when you enter the collider. So Die doesn't run more than once

I suggest to use a coroutine and simply use WaitForSeconds as the delay!

 

As DevDunk suggested, and to get you started...

Code (CSharp):

1. private  IEnumerator Die()
2. {
3.          if(isDead)yield break;  
4.  
5.          isDead = true;
6.         anim.SetTrigger("Death");
7.         GetComponent<CharacterMovement>().enabled = false;
8.         GameObject.Find("Main Camera").GetComponent<FollowPlayer>().enabled = false;
9.         m_Collider.enabled = false;
10.         rb.velocity = new Vector3(1, 5, 1);
11.  
12.       //  timer += Time.deltaTime;
13.        // if (timer >= waitingTime)
14.    
15.          yield return new WaitForSeconds(waitingTime);
16.          SceneManager.LoadScene(SceneManager.GetActiveScene().name);
17.  
18. }

Then, simply start the coroutine from your collision method.

Code (CSharp):

1.     private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
2.     {
3.         if (collision.gameObject.CompareTag("Trap"))
4.         {
5.             StartCoroutine(Die());
6.         }
7.     }

 

Thank you! It works perfectly!

 

Thank you for the suggestion!
