Distance script not working

I am busy with making a script to display the distance to a certain object to test something.

I made this script, and it worked.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var ReyHound : Transform;
if (ReyHound)
{
var dist = Vector3.Distance(ReyHound.position, transform.position);
print ("Distance to Destination: " + dist);
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But it only prints the distance in the beginning of the game and I want it to update.
So I tried a while statement like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var ReyHound : Transform;
while (1>0) {
if (ReyHound)
{
var dist = Vector3.Distance(ReyHound.position, transform.position);
print ("Distance to Destination: " + dist);
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
But now Unity crashes constantly if I play the game.

Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks already.

 

this line is the problem:
while (1>0) {


..infinite loop -> crash

if you wish to use while loop like that, you need to use coroutine (search forum or read docs). Easier one: just place your dist / print part of the code to Update instead of Start (i suppose its in Start now).

And in future, use code tags when posting code.

 

I presume that that is the script in its entirety, which in Javascript, means that it is assumed to be in Start().

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var ReyHound : Transform;
3. void Update() {
4. if (ReyHound)
5. {
6. var dist = Vector3.Distance(ReyHound.position, transform.position);
7. print ("Distance to Destination: " + dist);
8. }
9. }
10.  

 

Thanks! It's working.
I just had to replace the void with function, but it works perfectly!
