Hi I have a (somehow lol) working checkpoint system ,and after each race I want to delay the time for 5 seconds then move on to the next race(level) ,its working apart from the delay part ,I am obviously putting the yield WaitForSeconds (5); code in the wrong place ? ,probably an obvious one ,but I keep getting a coroutine error :frowning: can someone please point out the obvious (again) please :slight_smile:

   if (lap==5 && lapTime1 < 90) yield WaitForSeconds (5);
     Application.LoadLevel (1):

else if (lap==5 && lapTime2 < 90)yield WaitForSeconds (5);
Application.LoadLevel (1);

else if (lap==5 && lapTime3 < 90)yield WaitForSeconds (5);
Application.LoadLevel (1);

It is much simpler than you think haha, i think you’re over looking it.

var timer : float = 0.0; // begins at this value
var timerMax : float = 3.0; // event occurs at this value
 
function Update()
{
    timer += Time.deltaTime;
 	
    
    if (timer >= timerMax)
    {
       Debug.Log("timerMax reached !");
	   testObject.active = false;
       
       
    }
}

lol brainlock how would this apply to my dodgy code ? if (lap==5 && lapTime1 < 90 ) timer += Time.deltaTime; if (timer >= timerMax) { Debug.Log("timerMax reached !"); Application.LoadLevel (1); } This way ?

 –

var timer : float = 0.0; // begins at this value var timerMax : float = 3.0; // 3.0 seconds or however long a lap is function Update() { timer += Time.deltaTime; if (timer >= timerMax) { Debug.Log("timerMax reached !");// function at timermax testObject.active = false; Application.loadlevel(""); } }

Works. Thank you inglipX!

As a note: I wanted to wait x Seconds in the Update() calling a method and in a global script respectively . So in case someone else struggled with it:

private float timer = 0;

private float timerMax = 0;

void Update ()
{
   text += "Allow yourself to see what you don’t allow yourself to see.";

   if(!Waited(3)) return;

   text += "

Press any key!";
}

private bool Waited(float seconds)
{
    timerMax = seconds;

    timer += Time.deltaTime;

    if (timer >= timerMax)
    {
        return true; //max reached - waited x - seconds
    }

    return false;
}
