I’m making a easy recreation interface. When fillAmount > 0, the timer is stopped and reset. I need to restart the timer if the fill quantity doesn’t change for 3 seconds. All the code does now’s counting 3 seconds after which displaying the time when it stops. How do I repair it?

non-public float beginTime;
non-public float reStartTime;
public Barscript barscripts;

void Start() {
    beginTime = Time.time
    DefaultImg = GetComponent<Image>();
}

void Update() {
    float t = Time.time - beginTime;
    reStartTime = 3;
    float t1 = reStartTime - beginTime;

    string hours = ((int) t / 6).ToString();
    string minutes = ((t % 6) * 10).ToString();

    Debug.Log(barscripts.fillAmount);
    
    if (batscripts.fillAmount > 0) {
        DefaultImg.sprite = Emoji3;
        beginTime += Time.deltatime;
        timerText.textual content = " 0   :   00 "
        Debug.Log(t1);

        if (t1 < 0) {
            timerText.textual content = hours + "   :   " + minutes;
        }
    }
}

Here’s a pattern picture of what I’m getting in the meanwhile.

Assuming you need to create a time counter with deltaTime, it’s straightforward like this:

float timeRunning =0.0f;
Update()
{
   timeRunning += Time.deltaTime;
   if(timeRunning >= 3.0f)
   {
   //Do issues
   timeRunning = 0.0f; //Restart counting
   }
}

Inside the do issues you can verify the fillAmout’s worth with an older worth (it is best to create a lastFillAmount variable)

I feel this code ought to do what you need, its fairly self-explanatory however when you have any query simply do not hesitate to ask.

non-public float _lastFillAmountChangeTime;
non-public float _fillAmount;
non-public float _timer;

public float FillAmount
{
    get {  return _fillAmount;}
    set
    {
        // register the change if enter worth != present worth
        if(worth != _fillAmount)
        {
            _lastFillAmountChangeTime = UnityEngine.Time.time;
        }
        _fillAmount = worth;
    }
}

non-public void Start()
{
    // give these fields preliminary values
    _lastFillAmountChangeTime = 0;
    _fillAmount = 0;
    _timer = 0;
}

non-public void Update ()
{
    // replace timer 
    _timer += UnityEngine.Time.deltaTime;

    // its greater than 3 sec from the final change of FillAmount
    if (_lastFillAmountChangeTime + 3 < UnityEngine.Time.time) 
    {
        // reset the timer
        _timer = 0;
    }
}
