Hi people, i doing a script that when the character jump a timer starts to verify if he is in the air… if he’r in the air for more than 2 secs it takes out 10 of hp… the problem is that when i press space the timer starts, and if a press many times in a row the timer starts verious times.

when that happens, its normal that when one of the many timers that start checks that im in the air… what i want to do is like

    if(Input.GetButton("Jump"){
    "code to stop the timer"
    hptira();
    }
    
    function hptira(){
    	if(jumping)
    	{
    		
    		if(curHealth >= 1)
    		{
    		curHealth -= 10;
    		}
    		if(curHealth == 0)
    		{
    		Application.LoadLevel(3);
    		}
    	}
    	else{
    	}
    }

Try this:

 if(!jumping && Input.GetButtonDown("Jump")) {
      "you should use a code to start the timer if they jumped"
      "if they are already jumping the timer should be already counting down"
  hptira();
  }
}

function hptira() {

var timer = 2.0; // set timer to 2 seconds
timer -= Time.deltaTime; // subtract from timer with seconds

   // you also need code to check if they landed back on the ground
   if(landed) {
     // code to stop timer and stop running code
   } 
   else if(timer <= 0.0) {

       curHealth -= 10;
   }
}

What i want is that when i pres the space the timer stops, cuz now when i press space it starts another staying in sceane 2 timers.,The problem is that i want to stop the timers when i press the space again… cuz this way it keeps starting the timers all over again
