POThree second countdown in cocos2d
text
Body
copied!<p>I am trying to have a 3 second countdown display when a level is beat in my game. So this is what I did:</p> <pre><code>-(void) gameSegmentBeat { [self pauseSchedulerAndActions]; // Overlay the game with an opaque background CCSprite *opaqueBG = [CCSprite spriteWithFile:@"background1.png"]; opaqueBG.position = screenCenter; [self addChild:opaqueBG z:10000]; // These are the 3 labels for the 3 seconds CCLabelTTF *three = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:@"3" fontName:@"Helvetica" fontSize:100]; three.position = ccp(screenCenter.x, screenCenter.y); CCLabelTTF *two = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:@"2" fontName:@"Helvetica" fontSize:100]; two.position = ccp(screenCenter.x, screenCenter.y); CCLabelTTF *one = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:@"1" fontName:@"Helvetica" fontSize:100]; one.position = ccp(screenCenter.x, screenCenter.y); // Secondspast is specified in the update method secondspast = 0; if (secondspast == 1) { [self addChild:three z:10001]; } else if (secondspast == 2) { [self removeChild:three]; [self addChild:two z:10001]; } else if (secondspast == 3) { [self removeChild:two]; [self addChild:one z:10001]; } } </code></pre> <p>And the update:</p> <pre><code>framespast = 0; -(void)update:(ccTime)delta { framespast++; secondspast = framespast / 60; } </code></pre> <p>I called <code>gameSegmentBeat</code> in one of the methods I have not shown above... and I know it is being called because: 1. The <code>pauseSchedulerAndActions</code> is working and 2. The <code>CCSprite *opaqueBG</code> is being shown.</p> <p><strong>Also, something I should add is that if I move <code>[self addChild:three z:10001];</code> outside of the if statement that it is currently in, then the label shows up, but as soon as I move back into the if statement, it doesn't work...</strong></p> <p>I don't know why, but the labels are not being switched every second and so there is no countdown. </p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p>
