Looping a Boolean off and on

How do I make a loop that turns a boolean off and on every 5 seconds? I don’t understand Coroutines and invoking.

You can use InvokeRepeating like this:

var boolVar: boolean = false;

function Toggle(){
    boolVar = !boolVar; // toggles the variable boolVar
}

function Start(){
    InvokeRepeating("Toggle", 5, 5);
    // This instruction will call the function specified after an
    // initial delay (1st parameter) each 5 seconds (2nd parameter)
}

This will give the desired effect…

	private bool isOn;

	void Start()
	{
		InvokeRepeating("OnAndOff", 0, 5);
	}

	void OnAndOff()
	{
		if(isOn){
			isOn = false;
		}else{
			isOn = true;
		}
	}
