Timer add time

Unity Engine
1

Hi i am using this script on my car racing game. I have 6 checkpoints which i want to add time to a countdown timer. The 1st checkpoint adds time but the rest dont. The checkpoints are identical as i duplicated the 1st one (so they all have the same properties and tag) does anyone know where im going wrong? the code attached to the car is

var timer : Timer;
var TimeBoost : AudioClip;

function OnTriggerEnter(yes : Collider) {
timer.startTime += 30.0;
}

thankyou

have you tried debugging to test to see if the vehicle causes the function to be called in the other checkpoints???

3

Never thought it could be doing that! how do i debug? or could i just amend my script and give each checkpoint a dif tag?

4

what i would suggest is using

Debug.Log("Hey Look I Passed A CheckPoint");

in the on trigger enter - this will print to the console

then you can check if the function is being called

var timer : Timer;

You made a script called Timer.js or Timer.cs (whatever) and you put it in the timer variable, in the Inspector ?

The script attached to my gui text is

var startTime = 30.0;
var timeLeft : float;

function Update () {
//Time left before level is reset
timeLeft = startTime - Time.time;
//No such thing as negative time
timeLeft = Mathf.Max (0, timeLeft);
//Format time
guiText.text = FormatTime (timeLeft);
//When time is 0, restart level
if (timeLeft == 0) {
Application.LoadLevel (“IntroScreen”);
startTime = 30.0;
}
}

//Format time
//12(minutes):34(seconds).5(fraction)
var intTime : int;
var minutes : int;
var seconds : int;
var fraction : int;

function FormatTime (time) {
intTime = time;
minutes = intTime / 60;
seconds = intTime % 60;
fraction = time * 10;
fraction = fraction % 10;

//Build string according to format
//12(minutes):34(seconds).5(fraction)

timeText = minutes.ToString () + “:”;
timeText = timeText + seconds.ToString ();
timeText += “.” + fraction.ToString ();
return timeText;
}

  • Is this last script called Timer.js / Timer.cs ?

  • If true, did you set it in the Timer variable of your first script ?
