Unity 2D While Loop Keeps Crashing Unity. How to fix?

I am trying to make a system where the player's speed gradually increases. I found a way to do this using the fixed update function, however that updates too fast. If there is another way to do this that a beginning developer might understand, then please show me. Thanks for you help!

 

That while loop is simply going to repeat over and over within a single frame, thus never getting to the rest of the code and thus never getting to the next frame. It is very important that when using a while loop that something WITHIN the loop will cause the condition to be false and thus exit the loop.

Try this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2.     [SerializeField]
3.     private float speedIncreasePerSecond;
4.  
5.     private float speed;
6.     private bool moving;
7.  
8.  
9.     void Update()
10.     {
11.  
12.         if(moving)
13.                     speed += speedIncreasePerSecond * Time.deltaTime;
14.     }
15.  

 

Code (CSharp):

1. private void Start()
2. {
3. constMove = true;
4. }
5.  
6. private void Update()
7. {
8. if(constMove == true)
9. {
10. // if you want it to run a check non-stop
11. Move();
12. }
13. // Pretend the above if statement doesn't exist
14. if(constMove == true)
15. {
16. constMove = false;
17. // Now your code will only run once.
18. // At the end of your Move function, you would make
19. // constMove true again if you wanted it to be able to run again
20. Move();
21. }
22. }
