I’m trying to get my code to execute at certain frequencies.

So it’s rather simple:

time++;

if(time%40==0)
cycle2++;

In my other game engine, this executes my code every 40 frames, but It’s kind of random in Unity. What do I have to do in Unity to make this work?

check the Time properties in unity docx. This is what I had done to trigger function on specific time:

float m_time = 0.0f;

void Update()
{
    m_time += 0.01f;

    if (m_time >= CertainFrequency)
       { //do something..
          m_time = 0.0f; }
}

Update is called whenever possible. This means that it is not called at a fixed rate.

If you want to call something every n frames, you can use Time.frameCount:

int n = 40;
void Update()
{
    if( (Time.frameCount % n) == 0 )
    {
        // do something
    }
}

But you can also use a floating value to call something every n seconds:

int fSeconds = 5.1f;
int fElapsedTime = 0.0f;
void Update()
{
    if( Mathf.Repeat( fElapsedTime, fSeconds ) == 0 )
    {
        fElapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
        // do something
    }
}

Sorry that didn’t format well…

   //Spot positions
    if((timeAll+(0*sFrequency))%(4*sFrequency)==0)
    {vLine1=vMirror;cycle1++;}
    if((timeAll+(1*sFrequency))%(4*sFrequency)==0)
    {vLine2=vMirror;cycle1++;}
    if((timeAll+(2*sFrequency))%(4*sFrequency)==0)
    {vLine3=vMirror;cycle1++;}
    if((timeAll+(3*sFrequency))%(4*sFrequency)==0)
    {vLine4=vMirror;cycle1++;}
