Timer and Fill Amount.

Unity Engine
1 
   void UpDate()
    {
        if(IsTimed && IsActive && IsLocked)
        {
            Kp_timer -= Time.deltaTime;
          
            if (Kp_timer < 0) Kp_timer = 0; // clamp the timer to zero
            float seconds = Kp_timer % 60; // calculate the seconds
            float minutes = Kp_timer / 60; // calculate the minutes
            Kp_TimerText.text  = minutes + ":" + seconds;
            //Kp_TimerGauge.fillAmount=Kp_timer;
        }
    }

I would like an example of how I can change the fill amount of the UI image via the timer, I cant seem to get it working… help?

@PeppyZee What exactly doens’t work with your timer? Do you get odd outputs or doesn’t the text update at all? And what type is your ‘Kp_timer’ variable?

Kp_TimerText is not showing the Timer Value…
Kp_GuageImage is not charing its fill amount to represent timer.
Kp_KeyPad is being Disabled on code failure where I need just its Keys (buttons) to be disabled.

Seems things I put in UpDate are not working…

Is “UpDate()” a function which is called by you somewhere? Because if not, you probably want to write “Update()” (Unity’s “builtin” function, which gets called every frame) instead… Note that C# is case sensitive, so mixing up lower- and upper-case will result in errors and/or not working code.

LOL ROFLOL that is JUST silly!!!

Simple Typo messing me round… Thanks man!

Haha yeah, those errors are the dumbest, but especially with Unity’s messages quite hard to find sometimes. Glad I could help, even though it wasn’t even a “real” problem…
And of course: Have fun programming your game :wink: !
