hello, I am new for unity. I’m trying to implement a counter that counts down whenever the player input stops, and whenever input begins again the counter is to reset. I try many code but not working. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Set a float e.g.

private float counterStart = 20f; // whatever value you want

and anther

private float theCounter;

In start set

theCounter = counterStart;

check for user input and if the user is inputting set

theCounter = counterStart;

if there is no input set

theCounter = theCounter - Time.deltaTime;

And check for it going below zero.

If you want only to know if any key/button was pressed, you can use Input.anyKeyDown and reset or increment the counter:

private float idleCounter = 0.0f;

void Update() {
  if (Input.anyKeyDown) {
    idleCounter = 0.0f;  // reset counter          
  } else {
    idleCounter += Time.deltaTime; // increment counter
  }
}
