Stop timer when player goes in the "winzone"

Hello i have to do a script:

I want to stop the timer when the player join in the "winzone" ... and make it appear in another canvas.
how can i do it? thanks.
(sorry for my english)

this is the timer script :

1. usingUnityEngine;
2. usingSystem.Collections;
3. usingUnityEngine.UI;
4. 
   
5. public class timer :MonoBehaviour{
6. public Text timerLabel;
7. 
   
8. private float time;
9. 
   
10. void Update(){
11. time +=Time.deltaTime;
12. 
    
13. var minutes = time /60;//Divide the guiTime by sixty to get the minutes.
14. var seconds = time %60;//Use the euclidean division for the seconds.
15. var fraction =(time *100)%100;
16. 
    
17. //update the label value
18. timerLabel.text =string.Format("{0:00} : {1:00} : {2:000}", minutes, seconds, fraction);
19. }
20. }

 

Make sure you have a trigger (a collider with the Is Trigger checkmark checked) in you ' winzone'.
Add a script to this winzone and get the trigger enter:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // assign the timer-script
3. [SerializeField]timer myTimer;
4.  
5. void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
6.  if(other.tag == "Player") // or whatever you can use to detect the player
7.  {
8.    myTimer.Stop();
9.  }
10. }
11.  

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // modify your timer.cs
3. // add a bool which indicates if the timer is active.
4. private bool isTimerActive;
5.  
6. // add this new Stop method to disable the timer
7. public void Stop() {
8.   isTimerActive = false;
9. }
10.  
11. // modify your update() method, to check the isTimerActive
12. void Update() {
13.  
14.    if(!isTimerActive) // skip out if the timer isn't active
15.     return;
16.  
17.    // ... rest of your code
18. }
19.  

Good luck

 

thanks but it doesn't work... The timer doesn't stop
this is the time script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4. using System;
5. using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;
6.  
7. public class timer : MonoBehaviour
8. {
9.  
10.     public Text timerLabel;
11.  
12.     private float time;
13.  
14.     void Update()
15.     {
16.  
17.         time += Time.deltaTime;
18.  
19.         var minutes = time / 60; //Divide the guiTime by sixty to get the minutes.
20.         var seconds = time % 60;//Use the euclidean division for the seconds.
21.         var fraction = (time * 100) % 100;
22.  
23.         //update the label value
24.         timerLabel.text = string.Format("{0:00} : {1:00} : {2:000}", minutes, seconds, fraction);
25.  
26.         if (!isTimerActive) // skip out if the timer isn't active
27.             return;
28.     }
29.  
30.     // modify your timer.cs
31.     // add a bool which indicates if the timer is active.
32.     private bool isTimerActive;
33.  
34.     // add this new Stop method to disable the timer
35.     public void Stop()
36.     {
37.         isTimerActive = false;
38.     }
39.  
40.     // modify your update() method, to check the isTimerActive
41.  
42.  
43. }

this is the "stop time" script

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3. using UnityEngine.UI;
4.  
5. public class StopT : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.    
8.  
9.     public void Stop()
10.     {
11.         isTimerActive = false;
12.     }
13.  
14.     private bool isTimerActive;
15.    
16.     // assign the timer-script
17.     [SerializeField]
18.     timer myTimer;
19.  
20.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
21.     {
22.         if (other.tag == "Player") // or whatever you can use to detect the player
23.         {
24.             myTimer.Stop();
25.         }
26.     }
27. }

I have made mistakes?

 

Your update loop is still running all the code before you check the "isTimerActive" boolean. Put that check at the top of the function.

 

first don't try to write the timer the way your doing it.

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private DateTime mTime;
3.  
4. void Awake()
5. {
6. mTime = DateTime.Now;
7. }
8.  
9. void Update()
10. {
11. if (Date.Now > mTime.addseconds(100))
12. {
13.   // do something
14. // timerLabel.text =mTime.tostring("mm:ss:tt");
15. // reset timer mTime = Date.Now.addseconds(100);
16. }
17. }
18.  

I just wrote this into the code editor poster so it might not work out of the box but you get the idea

 

Thanks i will try...

Now i have an other problem:
Can I make a script that allows me to change a button with an other button (when the player goes in the winzone)?
I want to create an unlock/lock levels system ... Thanks

 

Yes you can make sure the button is disabled first when scene loads then when your in the winzone enable the button.

 

Really? How can I do it?

 

Something like this should work, off my head

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. private Button mButton;
3.  
4. public void Awake()
5. {
6.  mButton= GameObject.Find("name of the button").GetComponent<Button>();
7.  mButton.enabled = false;
8. }
9.  
10. // now somewhere in your code
11. // mButton.enabled = true;
12.  

 

I write this script .. it is correct?

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ButtonChange : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.  
4.     private Button Level1;
5.  
6.     public void Awake()
7.     {
8.         Level1 = GameObject.Find("name of the button").GetComponent<Button>();
9.         Level1.enabled = false;
10.     }
11.  
12.     private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
13.     {
14.         if (other.tag == "Player")
15.         {
16.             Level1.enabled = true;
17.         }
18.     }
19. }

 

Yeah looks okay, but don't fogey "name of button" is what you have called it in the inspector, I don't know what it's called so I put that.

 

Ok thank you so much...
But i have write this and it doesn't work... (I attacked the script on the Button)

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ButtonChange : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.  
4.     private Button Level2Btn;
5.  
6.     public object Winzone;
7.  
8.     public void Awake()
9.     {
10.         Level2Btn = GameObject.Find("Level2Btn").GetComponent<Button>();
11.         Level2Btn.enabled = false;
12.     }
13.  
14.     void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
15.     {
16.         if (other.tag == "Player")
17.         {
18.             Level2Btn.enabled = true;
19.         }
20.  
21.  
22.     }
23. }

I made mistakes? Thanks for the answers

 

So is it working now?

Is the name of the button between your quotes "Level2Btn"?

That might be the issue here.

 

The Button is disabled... but when i go in the winzone (and I change scene whit an other button) The button isn't enabled.. Can you help me? Thanks.

 

If you want to send me your project ill try to help you, it might be the easiest way

 

Okay but My problem is that the winzone is in another scene.... if the winzone wasn't in another scene I can do button disable/enable... How to resolve this problem?

 

Ok now I have a problem : NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
It doesn't find the Button.. what can i change in the script?

 

Your name in the inspector is wrong then, I bet it errors out on line 11?
