Invoke Repeating Issue

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to change up my enemies slightly when the user surpasses a certain score. Right now I have an invoke repeating function that starts when the game starts. This works fine, but when the player reaches 50,000 points I wanted to add some extra effects to the enemies. The code I have does not work and I understand why (the invoke repeating is constantly being executed due to being in the update function). I really want to incorporate this in my game, but am unsure on what to do.

Here’s my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class GloveSpawner : MonoBehaviour {

	public Transform []spawnPoints;
	public float spawnTime = 2f;
	public GameObject [] Gloves;
	public GameObject[] FireGloves;

	void Start(){

		InvokeRepeating ("SpawnGloves", spawnTime, spawnTime);

	}




	void Update(){

		/*if (ScoreManager.scoreCount >= 50000) {

			CancelInvoke ("SpawnGloves");
			InvokeRepeating ("SpawnFireGloves", spawnTime, spawnTime);

		}*/


	}


	void SpawnGloves(){
		
		int spawnIndex = Random.Range (0, spawnPoints.Length);
		int objectIndex = Random.Range (0, Gloves.Length);
		Instantiate (Gloves  [objectIndex], spawnPoints [spawnIndex].position, spawnPoints [spawnIndex].rotation );

	}

	void SpawnFireGloves(){

		int spawnIndex = Random.Range (0, spawnPoints.Length);
		int objectIndex = Random.Range (0, FireGloves .Length);
		Instantiate (FireGloves  [objectIndex], spawnPoints [spawnIndex].position, spawnPoints [spawnIndex].rotation);

	}

Hey there, if you insist on using InvokeRepeatedly, try putting additional conditional variables in the Update() function like so:

using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class GloveSpawner : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public Transform []spawnPoints;
     public float spawnTime = 2f;
     public GameObject [] Gloves;
     public GameObject[] FireGloves;
     private int _level = 0;
 
     void Start(){
 
         InvokeRepeating ("SpawnGloves", spawnTime, spawnTime);
 
     }
 
 
 
 
     void Update(){
 
         if (ScoreManager.scoreCount >= 50000 && _level==0) {
             _level++;
             CancelInvoke ("SpawnGloves");
             InvokeRepeating ("SpawnFireGloves", spawnTime, spawnTime);
 
         }
 
 
     }
 
 
     void SpawnGloves(){
         
         int spawnIndex = Random.Range (0, spawnPoints.Length);
         int objectIndex = Random.Range (0, Gloves.Length);
         Instantiate (Gloves  [objectIndex], spawnPoints [spawnIndex].position, spawnPoints [spawnIndex].rotation );
 
     }
 
     void SpawnFireGloves(){
 
         int spawnIndex = Random.Range (0, spawnPoints.Length);
         int objectIndex = Random.Range (0, FireGloves .Length);
         Instantiate (FireGloves  [objectIndex], spawnPoints [spawnIndex].position, spawnPoints [spawnIndex].rotation);
 
     }
 
 
 
 }

Just a simple example of what you could do so that that section of code in Update() won’t update continuously.
