Question

I have a rectangle with a percentage 1.0f
this means 100%
so at certain point i set this percentage to 0.0f in another function by mouse click
and now to fill the rectangle back to 100% or 1.0f is where the problem is
I see the rectangle growing back up but never in the right time (time_to_fill_in_seconds)
on update i have the following

    private void updateInterface(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        this.newGameTime += gameTime.ElapsedGameTime.Milliseconds;

        if ((rectangle.getPercentage() == 0) &&
            (rectangle.getAddValue() == 0))
        {
            float time = 1000 * time_to_fill_in_seconds;

            // update rectangle add values
            rectangle.incrementToIn(1.0f, time);
       }

       rectangle.Update(gameTime);
    }

and inside rectangle

    // Value to be added on each Update
    public void incrementToIn(float targetPercentage, float time)
    {
        setAddValue((targetPercentage - currentPercentage) / time);
    }


    public override void Update(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        if ((percentage <= 1.0f) && (addValue > 0))
        {
            if (percentage == 1.0f)
                addValue = 0;
            percentage += addValue;
        }
    }

I already lost like 2 days searching for the problem…
The bar takes too long to fill
what am i doing wrong?

this is probably something very simple…
if you see something wrong I appreciate your help
thank you

Pheraps I am wrong but it seems that percentage won’t never be 0. In fact Update sets addValue to 0 but not percentage.
Moreover I suggest you to replace the test
percentage == 1
with
percentage >= 1.
