Repeating an action each time i press a button in a trigger zone

[Slideulidou]

Hello, i’m trying to do a simple thing, here’s the deal :
I enter the trigger zone of my base, i can upgrade it, up to 3 times, and each time i press the " interact " input in this trigger zone ( if i have enough resources ) , i upgrade the base ( i had 1 to the “level” variable ).

The problem is, if i have enough ressources to do multiple upgrades, it’ll skip to the highest upgrade i can have, even if i split the script with conditions. I don’t really know how to make the upgrade once in only one frame, and repeat the process, if i click again, etc…

Here’s the code:

 void OnTriggerStay(Collider coll)
        {
            if (coll.CompareTag("Player"))
            {
                UIPlastic.text = "10";
                UIVis.text = "10";
                canvas.SetActive(true);

                if (Input.GetButtonDown("Interact") && level == 0)
                {
                    if (Inventaire.instance.totalPlastic >= 10 && Inventaire.instance.totalVis >= 10)
                    {
                        level = 1;
                        shield = 12.5f;
                        Inventaire.instance.SousVis(10);
                        Inventaire.instance.SousPlastic(10);
                        ScManager.runScore += 50;

                    }
                    else
                    {
                        CraftFail.text = "NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES !";
                    }
                }

                else if (Input.GetButtonDown("Interact") && level == 1)
                {
                    if (Inventaire.instance.totalPlastic >= 10 && Inventaire.instance.totalVis >= 10)
                    {
                        level = 2;
                        shield = 25;
                        Inventaire.instance.SousVis(10);
                        Inventaire.instance.SousPlastic(10);
                        ScManager.runScore += 50;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        CraftFail.text = "NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES !";
                    }
                }

                else if (Input.GetButtonDown("Interact") && level == 2)
                {
                    if (Inventaire.instance.totalPlastic >= 10 && Inventaire.instance.totalVis >= 10)
                    {
                        shield = 50;
                        level = 3;
                        Inventaire.instance.SousVis(10);
                        Inventaire.instance.SousPlastic(10);
                        ScManager.runScore += 50;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        CraftFail.text = "NOT ENOUGH RESOURCES !";
                    }
                }
            }
        }

        void OnTriggerExit(Collider coll)
        {
            if (coll.CompareTag("Player"))
            {
                CraftFail.text = "";
                canvas.SetActive(false);
            }
        }

Hello.

You have multiple ways do get that.

First and most simple is to create a timer using Time.deltatime. Timer starts at 3 and goes down. Only when timer reaches 0 allows you to interact, and when interact, timer goes to 3 seconds again.

Another way is to change logic structiure to:

OnTrigerStay
    if (Player)
        if (Input.ButtonDown)
           switch (ActualLevel)
              case level 2
                   things;
              case level 1
                   things;
              case level 0
                   things;

So now, only 1 thing will be executed
