How do I increase a value by a number (cps) every second on single view?










0















I have been looking at previous questions, however, they seem to be outdated or do not work for my case. In my application I want to increase a variable (money) every second by another variable (cps). When I try doing forever loops or using timers, I either get errors or nothing occurs.



class SecondViewController: UIViewController 
var money = 0
var cost = 20
var clicks = 1
var cost2 = 50
var CPS: Int = 0
var truth = true

@IBOutlet weak var costOutlet2: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var errorLabel: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var cpsButtonOutlet: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var clicksButtonOutlet: UIButton!
@IBOutlet weak var clicksOutlet: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var cpsOutlet: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var scoreOutlet2: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var costOutlet: UILabel!
@IBOutlet weak var cpsBtnOutlet: UIButton!

override func prepare(for backsegue: UIStoryboardSegue, sender: Any?)
let controller = backsegue.destination as! ViewController
controller.money = Int(scoreOutlet2.text!)!
controller.clicks = Int(clicksOutlet.text!)!
controller.CPS = Int(cpsOutlet.text!)!
controller.cost = Int(cost)
controller.cost2 = Int(cost2)


override func viewDidLoad()
super.viewDidLoad()
costOutlet2.isHidden = true
costOutlet.isHidden = true
costOutlet.text = "(cost)"
scoreOutlet2.text = "(money)"
clicksOutlet.text = "(clicks)"
cpsOutlet.text = "(CPS)"
errorLabel.isHidden = true
clicksButtonOutlet.setTitle("$(cost): +1 Clicks", for: .normal)
cpsBtnOutlet.setTitle("$(cost2): +1 CPS", for: . normal)


override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool)
scoreOutlet2.text = "(money)"
clicksOutlet.text = "(clicks)"


@IBAction func addClicks(_ sender: Any)
if (money >= cost)
money = money - cost
scoreOutlet2.text = "(money)"
cost = cost * 3
clicks = clicks + 1
clicksOutlet.text = "(clicks)"
(sender as AnyObject).setTitle("$(cost): +1 Clicks", for:)
print(cost)
else
insufficent()



@IBAction func addCps(_ sender: Any)
if (money >= cost2)
money = money - cost2
scoreOutlet2.text = "(money)"
cost2 = cost2 * 3
CPS = CPS + 1
cpsOutlet.text = "(CPS)"
(sender as AnyObject).setTitle("$(cost2): +1 CPS", for:)
else
insufficent()



func insufficent()
errorLabel.isHidden = false
errorLabel.text = "Insufficent Funds"
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 3.5)
self.errorLabel.isHidden = true





I am currently trying to make a clicker game on Swift 4 Xcode 10, I am able to make the CPS increase when it is purchased, however, when it is bought the value of money does not go up every second. How can I make the variable "money" increase by whatever the value of "CPS" is.

    The code you posted makes no attempt to update anything every second. Please show what you tried and clearly explain what issues you are having.

Try to use the code in your viewController



/...
override func viewDidLoad()
super.viewDidLoad()
increaseMoneyEverySecond()


private func increaseMoneyEverySecond()
money = money + CPS
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now()+1) [weak self] in
if let strongSelf = self
strongSelf.increaseMoneyEverySecond()
