Check a variable second by second

Unity Engine

Hi

I need to check a variable second by second. How could I do it?

Thank You

In the Update method, check the variable. If you need a delay so it’s not checked every frame, just keep a counter of when you last checked it, and don’t until it’s been more than a second. Reset and repeat.

Or use a coroutine, yielding a null (to wait a frame) or a WaitForSeconds (to wait a duration).

Something like this

private float timeSinceLastCheck = 0f;
private float timeBetweenChecks = 1f; 

void Update()
{
    timeSinceLastCheck = timeSinceLastCheck + Time.deltaTime;
    if (timeSinceLastCheck >= timeBetweenChecks)
    {
        checkTheVariable();
        timeSinceLastCheck = timeSinceLastCheck - timeBetweenChecks;
    }
}

private void checkTheVariable()
{
    //Do whatever check you need to here
}
