Alright, feeling much better about knocking these out. Looks like we already had a Bool for use in Scorer.cs

    void Update()
    {
        if (transform.childCount == 0 && hasChildren)
        {
            celebration.Play();
            hasChildren = false;
        }
    }

You could also do this:

        if (transform.childCount == 0)
        {
            celebration.Play();
            Destroy(gameObject, celebration.main.duration);
        }

Came up with the same solution.

Here’s another solution:

void Update()
    {
        if (transform.childCount == 0)
        {
            StartCoroutine(playCelebration(1));
        }
    }

    IEnumerator playCelebration(int seconds)
    {
        celebration.Play();
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
        celebration.Stop(true, ParticleSystemStopBehavior.StopEmittingAndClear);

    }
}

I solved this task with a timer

public class Scorer : MonoBehaviour
{
    private float startTimer;
    [SerializeField] private float timerWaitFor = 2f;

    [SerializeField] ParticleSystem celebration;
    bool hasChildren = true;

    void Update()
    {
        if (transform.childCount == 0)
        {
            celebration.Play();
            startTimer += Time.deltaTime;
            hasChildren = false;
        }

        if (!hasChildren && startTimer >= timerWaitFor)
        {
            celebration.Stop();
            startTimer = timerWaitFor;
        }
    }
}

I came up with a pretty simple solution, I think…

public class Scorer : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] ParticleSystem celebration;
    bool hasChildren = true;
    bool hasPlayed;

    void Update()
    {
        if (hasPlayed == false)
        {
            if (transform.childCount == 0)
            {
                celebration.Play();
                hasPlayed = true;
            }
        }
    }
}

Nice! Not sure if you know this but you can do (!hasPlayed) instead of (hasPlayed == false). It took me forever to realize this so just pointing it out. :slight_smile:

Had to add a couple lines since the bool variable already existed to be used.

public class Scorer : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] ParticleSystem celebration;
    bool hasChildren = true;

    void Update()
    {
        if (transform.childCount == 0 && hasChildren)
        {
            celebration.Play();
            hasChildren = !hasChildren;
        }
    }
}
