Hi guys I am trying to create 2D platformer game and I would like to know what is the way to deal damage to player after it is not moving horizontally for x seconds.
these are pieces of code with stats and damage function

public int HP = 100;

;

public void DealDamage(int damage)
{ HP -= damage
   
}

I was trying to write inside update function something like that but it didnt work.

void Update()
{ if(transform.position.x == transform.position.x*(Time.deltaTime-5)){DealDamage(10);}


}

Thanks for the response!

I haven’t tested the following code, but give it a try

[Tooltip("Delay before the character takes damage.")]
public float damageDelay = 5 ;

[Tooltip("Each X seconds, the character will take damages.")]
public float damageInterval = 1 ;

[Tooltip("The ammoung of damage the character will take.")]
[Range(0, 100)]
public int damageAmount = 1 ;

public int HP = 100;

private bool isMoving = true ;
private Vector3 lastPosition ;
private float damageTimer = 0 ;
private float timeSinceLastDamage = 0;
private Transform t ;

private Start()
{
    t = GetComponent<Transform>();
    lastPosition = t.position ;
}

void Update()
{
    isMoving = Mathf.Abs( lastPosition.x - t.position.x ) > 0.01 ;
    if( !isMoving )
    {
        damageTimer += Time.deltaTime ;
        if( damageTimer > 5 && (Time.time - timeSinceLastDamage) > damageInterval )
        {
            DealDamage( damageAmount ) ;
            timeSinceLastDamage = Time.time ;
        }    
    }
    else
    {
        damageTimer = 0 ;
    }
}

public void DealDamage(int damage)
{
   HP -= damage    
}
