Ready Set Go timer

Questions & Answers

Hey everyone, I’m a little new to unity in terms of developing games, as well as a little rusty in my coding. Basically what I am trying to do is figure out a way to have text display on the screen as ques for the player. An example of this would be:

Start Timer

If Timer = 1 seconds
then print = Ready

If Timer = 5 seconds
then print = Go!

If Timer = 15 seconds
then print = Game Over

I am also trying to figure out a way to modify the time (seconds) between the delays so that it can accomidate difficulty settings.

Any help of ideas on how I would start to accomplish this would be greatly appreciated!

co-routines are your best friend when it comes to spacing out code in Unity based on time. Co-routines are so versatile, you could actually create your whole game / application strictly off of co-routines and not even use Update at all!

void Start()
{
    StartCoroutine( readySetGoTimer( 2 ) );
}

private IEnumerator readySetGoTimer( float wait )
{
    print("Ready");
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(wait);
    print("Set");
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(wait);
    print("GO!");
}
