#include "Test_1.h"
#include "Countdown.h"
// Sets default values
ACountdown::ACountdown()
{
// Set this actor to call Tick() every frame. You can turn this off to improve performance if you don't need it.
PrimaryActorTick.bCanEverTick = false;
CountdownText = CreateDefaultSubobject<UTextRenderComponent>(TEXT("CountdownNumber"));
CountdownText->SetHorizontalAlignment(EHTA_Center);
CountdownText->SetWorldSize(150.0f);
RootComponent = CountdownText;
CountdownTime = 3;
}
// Called when the game starts or when spawned
void ACountdown::BeginPlay()
{
Super::BeginPlay();
UpdateTimerDisplay();
GetWorldTimerManager().SetTimer(CountdownTimerHandle, this, &ACountdown::AdvanceTimer, 1.0f, true);
}
// Called every frame
void ACountdown::Tick( float DeltaTime )
{
Super::Tick( DeltaTime );
}
void ACountdown::UpdateTimerDisplay()
{
CountdownText->SetText(FString::FromInt(FMath::Max(CountdownTime, 0)));
}
void ACountdown::AdvanceTimer()
{
--CountdownTimer;
UpdateTimerDisplay();
if (CountdownTime < 1)
{
//Countdown is done, Stoping timer.
GetWorldTimerManager().ClearTimer(CountdownTimerHandle);
//Perform any special actions we want to do when the timer ends.
CountdownHasFinished();
}
}
void ACountdown::CountdownHasFinished()
{
//Change to a speacial readout
CountdownText->SetText(TEXT("GO!"));
}
