How can I check the elapsed between two intervals? I want to do the following: "start time counter when Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1") , stop counter when collision is detected` And then Debug.Log the elapsed time?

Changing it to be about altitude is just confusing. If you have something else you want to know, ask a new question rather than editing an old one. \$\endgroup\$– DMGregory ♦Commented Nov 6, 2015 at 20:34

Don't edit questions to drastically change their subject matter, especially once they are established questions with answers. \$\endgroup\$– user1430Commented Nov 6, 2015 at 23:47

Store Time when the Fire1 button goes down, and then check the difference between that stored value and Time.time when the collision is detected:
private float fire_start_time;
void Update() {
if(Input.GetButtonDown("Fire1")) {
fire_start_time = Time.time;
}
}
void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other) {
Debug.Log("elapsed time: " + (Time.time - fire_start_time));
}
