Respawning items

Questions & Answers

Hi, so I have this script that makes an item respawn after 5 seconds after being picked up. But once they respawn after 5 seconds, they no longer wait 5 seconds to respawn and instead respawn instantly. How do I make it so they always have to wait 5 seconds. Thanks!

Code:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;

public class Respawn : MonoBehaviour {

private Vector3 spawnPos;

// Use this for initialization
void Start () {
    spawnPos = transform.position;
}

// Update is called once per frame
void Update () {
    Invoke("Spawn", 5f);
}
public void Spawn()
{
    if (this.gameObject.tag == ("Respawn"))
    {
        transform.position = spawnPos;
    }
}

}

Don’t call Invoke("Spawn", 5f); in Update(), but InvokeRepeating("Spawn", 5f, 5f) in Start():

 void Start () {
     spawnPos = transform.position;

    InvokeRepeating("Spawn", 5f, 5f);
 }

Use InvokeRepeating(): InvokeRepeating("Spawn", 5f, 5f);, the first “5f” is “time until first call” and the second is “time to wait to call again”. Also, call it in start
