eating candy, spitting it out.

Questions & Answers
1

this is my pick up item script. i pick up candy.
wait, there’s more.

#pragma strict

private var score : int = 0;
var guiScore : GUIText;

function Start () {
	guiScore.text = "Sweets: 0";
}

function OnCollisionEnter(col : Collision){
	if(col.collider.name == "Candy"){
		Destroy(col.gameObject);
		score += 10;
		guiScore.text = "Sweets: " + score;
		print("collide with Candy");
	}
}

i have a character that spits chewed candy.
the thing is… he can spit an unlimited amount of candy as of now.
i wanted him to have to pick up the candy before he spit it out… much like ammo…or…exactly like ammo.
is there a way to disable the shoot function until he eats at least one candy? one candy will give him 10 ammo? my script above works well and displays a gui that indicates the amount picked up. now if only i could have that number decrease by one as he spits.
i know it sounds crazy. i dont know where to start… otherwise i would be fixing this problem instead of desperation typing on a message board. any ideas? any at all? i am stumped. if you need my bullet code or spawn code let me know. all of them work perfectly. this little thing would give the collecting of candy much needed importance!
thanks again. -matt

So “score” in your script is actually ammo?

in your shoot function, just do something like:

if (score > 0){
    Shoot();
    score -= 1;
}
