Update function can't take parameters?

Hi everyone,
I want to use Update() function with parameters but this seems not to be possible.
is There any other way to use a function like update (called every frame) and pass parameters to it ?
Best regards.

 

How would adding parameters to update work? How would Unity know what to pass into those parameters?

You can of course make your own function with any parameters you want and call it inside Update:

Code (CSharp):

1. void Update() {
2.   MyCustomUpdate(Time.frameCount);
3. }
4.  
5. void MyCustomUpdate(int frameNumber) {
6.   print(frameNumber);
7. }

 

Thank you for your reply, I got the idea and i haven't think about it, but i'm using an instance of another script, i'm passing it in parameters in my custom update function but when i call it in update i can't pass the parameters there.

 

Why can't you pass parameters? What is preventing you?

 

What is "arg"? Where is it coming from? What information is it supposed to hold?

The error is complaining because this "arg" variable doesn't exist. You can't use variables that don't exist.

 

That's not where it's coming from, that's where it's going to.

 

You seem to have some misconceptions about how function/method parameters work. I recommend reading this:

I accept this as the best solution. Thank you
