How do I reset a variable?

Question

Here's a portion of the code I'm applying to a simple sphere. I want to know how to reset the variable blinkSecond, if possible. If it isn't possible, I'd like to know if there's a way to loop this so that each time I call upon blinkSecond I can have the circle blink. I can post the rest of the code if it is needed to clarify what I'm asking. Thanks a lot!

 var blinkSecond            : int = 3;
 
 function secondBlink ()
 {
     if (onlyCircle == true)
     {
         while (blinkSecond > 0)
             {
                     blinkSecond--;
                 yield WaitForSeconds(0.5);
                 renderer.enabled = false;
                 yield WaitForSeconds(0.5);
                 renderer.enabled = true;
             }
             yield WaitForSeconds(.5); // wait another sec.
         }
 }

You would just set blinkSecond=3; again after the 'while' finishes. Or before it begins.

I believe you want to do something like this:

 var isWindowDisplayed  :  boolean  =  true; 

 var functionName       :  String   =  "callMeAgainAndAgain";
 var startTime          :  float    =   3.0;
 var repeatFrequency    :  float    =   3.0;

 function Start ()
 {   
     InvokeRepeating(functionName, startTime, repeatFrequency);
 }   

 function callMeAgainAndAgain ()
 {   
     isWindowDisplayed = ! isWindowDisplayed;
 }

Here's what the doc says:
