Making something happen after every x amount of time

Hey, so I'm trying to make my game execute something after every x amount of time but I honestly have no idea how to do that.
Could someone help me with that?

Thanks in advance : D

 

Invoke supports setting an amount of time to wait before calling the method, or use InvokeRepeating. In a coroutine it would be pretty simple to yield WaitForSeconds. You can also just set a float to Time.time + amountOfTimeToWait, and then check if that float is <= Time.time before you do something, then sent that float again to the next time you want to do something again.

 

Ohhhh, okay!
Thank you so much !!

 

Just as a quick example of doing this using Update (which is usually the simplest way for people new to Unity to understand)

Code (csharp):

1. private float timeBetweenDoingSomething = 5f;  //Wait 5 seconds after we do something to do something again
2. private float timeWhenWeNextDoSomething;  //The next time we do something
3.  
4. void Start()
5. {
6.     timeWhenWeNextDoSomething = Time.time + timeBetweenDoingSomething;
7. }
8.  
9. void Update()
10. {
11.     if (timeWhenWeNextDoSomething <= Time.time)
12.     {
13.         //Do something here
14.  
15.         timeWhenWeNextDoSomething = Time.time + timeBetweenDoingSomething;
16.     }
17. }

 

Yeah, it worked thanks !!
