How to call a routine every 3 seconds?

[system]

Just wondering if there is an equivalent to Objective-C's "NSTimer" to allow you to call a routine every x amount of seconds? I've tried looking at WaitForSeconds but I'm not 100% sure what it's doing because it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks in advance!

you can just use this:

InvokeRepeating("YourFunctionName", 3);

or (js):

function Start()
{
    YourFunctionName();
}

function YourFunctionName()
{
    while(true)
    {
        DoSomething();
        yield WaitForSeconds(3);
    }
}

or (c#):

using System.Collections;

public class YourClass
{

    void Start()
    {
        StartCoroutine(YourFunctionName());
    }

    IEnumerator YourFunctionName()
    {
        while(true)
        {
            DoSomething();
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
        }
    }
}

correct Javascript syntax for InvokeRepeating would be: function InvokeRepeating (methodName : string, time : float, repeatRate : float) : void

example: InvokeRepeating("YourFunctionName", 0, 3);

"0" is the delaytime.
