How does Invoke cope with mapping on frames
When I would use Invoke(Function,5.0f), Function should be fired in exactly 5 seconds from now. My question roughly is, how exact is this?
Unity works with frames, and it's quite reasonable to assume that "5 seconds from now" will fall right between 2 frames. How does Unity handle this?
Also when I have 2 coroutines both stating to yield for 5 seconds (or similary have 2 invoke calls with the same specified time), will the order of execution always be maintained? What if they get mapped on the same frame?
Sorry for the vague question.
Invokes are processed during the game loop so it will not be "exactly" 5 seconds from when you invoke it - it will be after Update on the frame that is the first frame after the timeout is met. Coroutine and Invoke order should be consistent.
Damn that's exactly what I thought. (Which unfortunately isn't what I hoped for :D)
You could try a thread - but of course that couldn't interact with Unity without syncing with the main loop anyway...
Well it's been a long time, hereby I accept your answer!
