Changing Color of Object Using a Timer

Questions & Answers
1

I am having a issue creating a timer that changes the color of my traffic light. This is the code that I currently have. I have two different scripts. One for a State Machine and one for the Lights.

	private bool isGreen = true;
	private bool isYellow = true;
	private bool isRed = true;

	private float timePassed = Time.deltaTime ++;


	bool IsLightGreen()
	{
		return isGreen;
	}

	bool IsLightYellow()
	{
		return isYellow;
	}

	bool IsLightRed()
	{
		return isRed;
	}

	void ToggleLight()
	{
		isGreen = !isGreen;
		isYellow = !isYellow;
		isRed = !isRed;
	}
}

I am probably going all about this wrong but I keep researching time and color changing and all I can find is posts about using java script which I have a hard time reading and translating it to C#. Any suggestions would be great. Keep in mind I am super beginner and am in college still learning C#.

Thanks

A simple timer:

float _t = 0f;

void Update()
{
_t += Time.deltaTime;

if (_t >= TheNumberOfSecondsIWant)
{
_t = 0f;
TriggerTheLight();
}
}

I would actually probably set it up to trigger a coroutine, that i’d have cycle through the red/yellow/green light.
