Question by Selzier · Nov 24, 2014 at 01:10 AM · functiontimerwaitforsecondsfor-loopinvokerepeating

Loop a function, once per second, X number of times

I need to call a function once per second for X number of times. How can I do this?

I can't use an IEnumerator because "yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);" inside of a For Loop exits the For Loop, and it only runs one time.

I can't use InvokeRepeating, because I need to loop X number of times.

Been at this for an hour or 2, can't figure out any way to: Loop a function, once per second, X number of times.

Just like this: (But this code only runs one time)

 for(int i=0; i < total; i++){
 yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
 }

I am using it inside of a Coroutine, but because it "returns new" it only runs the code once, and then it returns a new, so the For loop only runs one time. So how to run a For Loop that only loops once per second?

Still am unable to find any answer to this question, on this site or Google. $$anonymous$$y question is: how to run a For Loop that only loops once per second?

You need to show us your entire code. Im not convicned that you are launching the coroutine correctly.

Maybe you can try the following script:

 using UnityEngine;
 using System;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class TestInvokeMethod : MonoBehaviour
 {
     private void Start()
     {
         // Test invoke the method "TestPrintTime" 5 times, once per second
         StartCoroutine(InvokeMethod(TestPrintTime, 1, 5));
     }
 
 
     private void TestPrintTime()
     {
         Debug.Log(Time.time);
     }
 
 
     public IEnumerator InvokeMethod(Action method, float interval, int invokeCount)
     {
         for (int i = 0; i < invokeCount; i++)
         {
             method();
 
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(interval);
         }
     }
 }
