[Solved]NumberWizzard - How to print different messages using the same KeyCode?

Unity Courses Talk

#1

Instead of displaying all print messages at once when the game starts, I want the user to receive new messages by pressing KeyCode.Space.

Observed

When KeyCode.Space is pressed all the messages appear at once.

Desired

With every GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space) by the user, a new message to appear.

Steps to reproduce

create a list of print messages which to be displayed when a specific key is pressed

Relevant information

Unity 4.7.2f1

Steps tried already

  1. using if statements
  2. using if else statements
  3. using variables
  4. using strings

the problem is that when you use many ifs like you have done, it will pass true to all of them at the same time, i think that a better approach would be to put a controller to the message that will be displayed such as:

void MsgController ()
{
switch (message)
{
case 0: print (“x”);break;
case 1: print (“x2”); break;
case2: print (“x3”); breal;

etc…
}
}

void Update()
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space) && message <= /* number of cases */)
{
MsgController();
message++
}

else if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.Space) && message > /* number of cases */)
{
// put something here to continue your game or to control the message number in order to choose what will be displayed to the player.
}
}

haven’t tried it, but it might work =x let me know
