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:
