InvokeRepeating with a variable?
I was wondering if you could possibly use a variable to make InvokeRepeating repeat a random time? for example:
var randomNumber : float =Random.Range(3, 10);
function Start()
{
InvokeRepeating("Test", 1, randomNumber);
}
function Test()
{
print("Success!");
}
Or perhaps I should do this:
function Update()
{
yield WaitForSeconds(random);
var randomNumber : float = Random.Range(3, 10);
}
I figured out what I was trying to accomplish: random generation of a number once every X seconds, for decision making. Heres the code:
var rand;
function Start()
{
InvokeRepeating("RandomRanger", 0, 1.5);
//sets function to repeat once every 1.5 seconds starting immediately
}
function RandomRanger()
{
var it = Random.Range(1, 5);
rand = it;
//makes random number
}
function Update(){
print (rand);
}
Now I realize what I was trying to accomplish was actually not what the question was...I was trying to do this for AI decisions. Now I'm much better at program$$anonymous$$g and am frowning upon my code in the question... I even spelled Yield wrong.
If the goal is to have InvokeRepeating use a different length of time whenever it repeats, then no, that's not possible using InvokeRepeating. Instead you can use a coroutine. (But not like your second example, which can't work since Update can never be a coroutine. Just leave Update out of it and use a coroutine.)
