Associate time and distance for a score system

Question

Hello, I introduce myself, my name is Samih.

I just start game development in unity.

I am currently developing a simple 2D game to learn many things about game development.

Nevertheless, I have some issues to create a score system.

Indeed, in the game, the score of the character is a function of the distance travelled (the scene and the character are static, only the textures move = treadmill effect).

So, I wanted to link the time spent by the player (before the game over) with distance.

when time increases, it hads values to the distance travelled.

(for example: for each seconds, it adds 5 points to distance travelled.)

I don't know how to do it

How can I do this?

Thank you.

I'd be tempted to look into using Time.deltaTime to assess the time passed. I'd create a float to hold the value of your score and each Update add Time.deltaTime to the score variable.

The value can be multiplied by a score multiplier if desired. Something like:

 Public Class ClassName : MonoBehaviour {
     float score = 0;
     public float scoreMulti = 5;
 
     void Update() {
         score += Time.deltaTime * scoreMulti;
     }
 }

you can use coroutine to update score.

If u want to update score every second, just wait for 1 second and then add 1 to score. Which will mean player is running a distance of 1 unit every second.

You can increase speed of score by decreasing wait time. For example if u want to increase speed upto 2unit/s .Just wait for half a second. Following code updates score every second.

]] IEnumerator Score() {

   score++;
     // change score GUI
     yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
     }]]

 UIText.text = score.ToString();

put this code in coroutine.

thanks, so i came to this script:

public class scoremanager : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {

void Start () {

public int score = 0

distance.text = score.ToString();

}

void Update () {

scoremanager++; yield return new Waitforseconds (1f);

} }

Is it okay for you?

Why not just do something like this:

 public float time = 1;
 public float points = 5;
 
 private float startTime;
 private float endTime;
 
 private float score;
 
 void OnEnable() //or "Start"
 {
     startTime = Time.time;
 }
 
 void OnFinish()
 {
     endTime = Time.time;
 
     score = Mathf.RoundToInt(((endTime - startTime) / time) * points);
 
     print("player score = " + score);
 }

This way you save using "Update" or even a Coroutine.
