How to Use System.Timers.Timer With unity GameObjects

Hi

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. System.Timers.Timer timer = new(2000);
3.         timer.Start();
4.  
5.         timer.Elapsed += delegate
6.         {
7.             Debug.Log("Tick");
8.             Debug.Log(gameObject.Name);
9.         }
10. ;

It does not write gameobject name in console window, is there any solution for this?

 

Just use coroutines? Or, if you're dead-set on using Timers, read the examples on the documentation to figure out how to implement them.

 

Find out how Timer works... does it call that delegate in another thread?

If so, that will NEVER work with Unity. With Unity 100% of EVERYTHING you do must be on the main thread.

Use coroutines.

Coroutines in a nutshell:

Coroutines are NOT always an appropriate solution: know when to use them!
