Power Up Modifications!

Questions & Answers

Hey guys, so I’m having this problem… I’m new to all this still, but I have this code. what I want to do is make it so my “Power up” modifies my score for a certain number of seconds and then goes away and returns back to its normal score modification.

	public void PowerUp(){
		powerMod = 2;
		multiplier = 2 + powerMod;
		Invoke ("PowerDown",5.0f);
	}
	void PowerDown(){
		multiplier = multiplier;
		powerMod = 1;	
	}

	//Combo-like system : 4 in a row = 2x points, 8 in a row = 4x points etc..
	public void Multiplier (){
		if (ballCount >= 4 && ballCount < 8) {
			multiplier = 2;
			score += ballValue*multiplier*powerMod;

		}
		if (ballCount >= 9 && ballCount < 12){
			multiplier = 4;
			score += ballValue*multiplier;
		}
		if (ballCount > 12 && ballCount < 16) {
			multiplier = 6;
			score += ballValue*multiplier;
		}
		if (ballCount >= 16) {
			multiplier = 8;
			score += ballValue*multiplier;
		}
		if	(ballCount < 5){
			multiplier = 1;
			score += ballValue;
		}

i’m not sure how to implement my powerup, and revert it back. please help! :slight_smile: thanks in advance.

Maybe you need

void PowerDown(){
  multiplier = 1;
  powerMod = 1;    
}

instead of this: “multiplier = multiplier”;
