Questions & Answers
1

What I have:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Locked : MonoBehaviour 
{
	void Update(){
		float seconds = Time.time;
		bool s= seconds % 2==0;
		renderer.enabled= s;
    }
	void Main(){
		renderer.enabled= Start.Locked;
	}
}

Start.Locked:

public static bool Locked;

Basically, I want the object to have its render enabled for like 5 seconds, but I have no idea how to do this… please help
THANKS!!

C# co-routines should be able do this quite easily.

public IEnumerator MyCoroutine(Object value)
{
    // Do some things
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
    // Do some more things 5 seconds later
}

To start a coroutine use the MonoBehaviour.StartCoroutine(MethodName, ArgValue) Method.

Basic timer implementation not calling the expensive Co-routines or Invoke

float timer;
int waitingTime;
 
void Update(){
    timer += Time.deltaTime;
    if(timer > waitingTime){
        //Action
       timer = 0;
    }
}

Does some actions every waitingTime seconds.
