why wont this timer hit 0 ?

Unity Engine

for some reason this freezes at 1 and wont go down to zero ???

     if ( GameManager.Instance.Jump == true)
        {
            if (timer == 0)
            {
                timer = 20;
                GameManager.Instance.Jump = false;
            }
           
           
               
        }


        if (timer > 0)
        {
            timer -= 1;
        }

        Debug.Log(timer);

If timer is a float type then you should not use ‘==’ as floats are an approximation and it’s unlikely to ever be exactly 0 when using arithmetic.

Change that to if(timer <= 0)

no difference still doesnt work… even if i change it to a integer there is no diffrence still gets stuck on 1

Because it will overshoot 1 when you add Time.deltaTime so -1 means it will still be over 0. Instead of - 1. change it to timer = 0;

EDIT:
Is that what this timer uses? Time.deltaTime to increment?
