Help with counting score script (solved)

Questions & Answers
1

Hi,

I’m testing a score counter script. I have a box that will instantiate a sphere each time I click LMB. the sphere will score +1 if it hit the plane below. I gave 3 counts for player to hit the plane via inspector, and when the count 0, a function will see how many score. If 0 ( no hit the plane ) then it will load a scene named “lose”, and if hit the plane more than 1, it will load “win” scene.
So far it worked, but I hit a strange problem. If the first ball hit the plane, then no matter the rest, it will load “win” scene, just as expected. But if the first and second ball missed the plane, then the third ball hit the plane, it will load “lose” scene, as if it omits the last ball hit. What’s wrong?

btw, “count” means how many balls left and “score” means how many time the ball hit the plane…
Again, the script works well, but if first and second ball missed and the third ball hit the plane, then why it loads “lose” scene even the score is 1 ( hit the plane )?
because load the “lose” scene should be only if the score is 0.

Solved! Simply add WaitForSeconds in the function EndGame ! Thanks to all who replied!

here’s the script attached to the plane:

var score : int;
var count : int;
var bola : Rigidbody;



function OnCollisionEnter (col : Collision) {
	if(col.gameObject.tag == "ball"){
		score ++;
		Destroy (col.gameObject);
		}
	}
	
	
function OnGUI(){
	GUI.Label(Rect(50,50,100,100), "score" +score);
	GUI.Label(Rect(50,150,100,100), "count" +count);

}

function Counting(){
	count --;
	if(count == 0){
		EndGame();
		}
	}
	
function EndGame(){
	if(score == 0){
		yield WaitForSeconds (2);
		Application.LoadLevel ("lose");
		}
	if(score >=1){
		yield WaitForSeconds (2);
		Application.LoadLevel ("win");
		}
	}

and this is the script for the box

var bola : Rigidbody;
var speed : float = 10.0;
var rotationSpeed : float = 100.0;


function Update () {
	if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)){
		var clone : Rigidbody;
		clone = Instantiate(bola, transform.position, transform.rotation);
		gameObject.Find("plane").SendMessage("Counting");
		}
	 var translation : float = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical") * speed;
    var rotation : float = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotationSpeed;
     
    translation *= Time.deltaTime;
    rotation *= Time.deltaTime;
    
    transform.Translate (0, 0, translation);
    transform.Rotate (0, rotation, 0);
  	
}

instead of when the mouse is clicked saying:

gameObject.Find("plane").SendMessage("Counting");

try putting it in a function called OnDestroy:

function OnDestroy () {
    gameObject.Find("plane").SendMessage("Counting");
}

This will be called when the object hits the plane and is then destroyed rather than the counting being done before hand which is causing it to call the EndGame function before the object has hit.

Your problem is that you call the Counting function the moment the ball is created. When your last ball is created it counts to 0 and triggers the end sequence before it has had chance to hit the plane.

You should try to trigger the Counting function at some point where there is no possible chance of a ball scoring.
