How to make a repeat timer C#

I just want a timer that repeats itself every x seconds... for example every 5 seconds take 1 from hunger variable

 

There are many many ways to do this. One way is to use InvokeRepeating.

In this sample code, Starve is called for the first time after 5 seconds, and then every 1 second after that.

Code (CSharp):

1.    public int hunger;
2.  
3.     void Start() {
4.         InvokeRepeating("Starve", 5, 1);
5.     }
6.    void Starve() {
7.         hunger--;
8.     }
9.  
10. }

 

Yep, that's a reasonable way. Here's another.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2.  
3. public class Hunger : MonoBehaviour {
4.     public int hunger;
5.    
6.     public float nextTime;
7.    
8.     void Update() {
9.         if (Time.time > nextTime) {
10.             hunger--;
11.             nextTime = Time.time + 1;
12.         }
13.     }  
14. }

 

@MikeTeavee THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was looking and trying to get some code to work for 6 hours now. I stumbled upon your response, and it was a lifesaver since I'm using this for a 48-hour jam.

Code (CSharp):

1.     void Start()
2.     {
3.         bladeSpinning = bladeH.GetComponent<BladeSpinning>();
4.         coinCount = 0;
5.         if(bladeSpinning.paused == false)
6.         {
7.             InvokeRepeating("AddingCoins", 0, 0.2f);
8.         }
9.     }
10.  
11.     void AddingCoins()
12.     {
13.         coinCount += coinLevel;
14.         coinText.text = coinCount.ToString();
15.     }
