Creating a Timer? Halp.

The current code I’ve been using was given to me by a previous help thread that another member posted when looking up how to do some Timers in Unity

Time.time + attackTimer;

This is a Timer, but… It uses the amount of time that the game has been going to itself, and then adds one. That’s not what I wanted.

I’m trying to find out how to make a timer that goes on by One Second ticks, so I can time things the way I want them to be timed, this however is not working. I don’t want it to go by the gameTime, because if the Timer stops, attackTimer stays the same, so if I’m to walk away and come back, there’s no timer required because the value was already passed during my time doing other things.
