Syntax

using ElRaccoone.Timers;
Timers.SetTimeout(/* miliseconds */ 1000, /* callback */ () => { /* ... */ });
Timers.SetInterval(/* miliseconds */ 1000, /* callback */ () => { /* ... */ });

Description

We may decide to execute a function not right now, but at a certain time later. That’s called “scheduling a call”. Note that the timers are using unscaled time.

There are two methods for it:

• setTimeout allows to run a function once after the interval of time.
• setInterval allows to run a function regularly with the interval between the runs.

Examples

public class MyClass {
  private void Awake () {
    Timers.SetTimeout(1000, () => {
      Debug.Log("A second has passed!");
    });
    Timers.SetTimeout(1000, Notifiy);
    Timers.SetInterval(2500, Notifiy);
  }
  private void Notify () {
    Debug.Log("Notify!!");
  }
}
