Repeat enemy spawn wave script ?
Here is the script I have. Not sure how to implement for the next wave to start after a set time AFTER all enemies have been killed? using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic;
public class Spawner : MonoBehaviour

click unutyGE$$anonymous$$S.com for a great intro to using Invoke and InvokeRepeating, it may be relevant. basically "Invoke" the same routine at the end
I have accomplished this many many times by just having several functions, so firstly you need a function called nextwave, that would basically spawn a number of enemies, the number will be controlled by the number of rounds completed * a modifier ( say 10 or so) meaning at level 5 you would have 50 enemies.
The next task would be for you to have a function what is called every time an enemy is killed, and a variable to hold the total amount of enemies killed this round, then compare it to the total enemies that round, you can then make it call the nextwave function again to create an endless cycle.
For easier layout, you would have a middle function what is called which increases the round count and sets the enemies killed this round to 0 and so on, which would then go on to start the next wave.
Here is a little "test" i made with this system :

Please note that the game is in no means meant to be good looking, its just to test the mechanics of it, also, for testing i made it default to 1920x1080 so if you have a smaller screen it may cause issues.
