Hello, I’m trying to make a little function in C# …
I’d like to decrease a value by 1 every second, here my
Code:

private int hunger= 100;

void decreaseHunger(){
     while (0 < hunger) {
			Time.deltaTime -= 1; // IM SURE THIS ONE IS ULTRA WRONG
			hunger -= 1;
		}
}
void Update(){
   Debug.log(hunger);
}

Thanks guys!

You’re right - it is ultra wrong! Try this:

private int hunger= 100;

void Start(){
  InvokeRepeating("decreaseHunger", 1.0f, 1.0f);
 }

void decreaseHunger(){
  if(hunger > 0) {
         hunger -= 1;
     }
 }

void Update(){
  Debug.log(hunger);
}

the Time.delta returns a value of how long it took to do the last update cycle. AFAIK the normal method is to have a variable called timeCountInSeconds or something, then in the update loop just do timeCountInSeconds += Time.delta;

That will give you a count showing the actual seconds

Hope this helps.
