Question

Ok, i have this script:

    function OnGUI(){

     if
     (GUI.Button(Rect(90,10,150,40),"Work")){
     print(Construction.Wood);
     Construction.Wood += 10;

     } 
}

This mean that when i pres the button it add 10 Wood.

But is there posible to add 10 wood until I tell it to stop? (I want also to remain the button)

Perhaps something along the lines of:

var addingWood : boolean = false; //flag to set if we are adding wood

function OnGUI()
{
     if(GUI.Button(Rect(90,10,150,40),"Work"))
     {
        if(!addingWood)
        {
            InvokeRepeating("addWood",0.0,1.0); // add wood each second
            addingWood = true;
        }
     } 
}

function Update()
{
    if(someConditionToStopAddingWood())
    {
        CancelInvoke("addWood");
        addingWood = false;
    }
}

function addWood()
{
    print(Construction.Wood);
    Construction.Wood += 10;
}

Ah, good thinking, he wouldn't want to produce wood every frame. You can combine this with the Toggle button by moving the stuff from Update() to OnGui: function OnGUI() { if(GUI.Toggle(Rect(90,10,150,40),false,"Work")) { [same as above] } else { if(addingwood){CancelInvoke("addWood"); addingWood = false;}}}

Yes thats true but it is likely that some other factor in his game stops the production of wood rather than the button I suspect.

If you want something to happen repeatedly while the user holds down that button, use GUI.RepeatButton(). If you are looking for a toggle button (click once -> button stays enabled and wood is produced. click again -> button gets disabled), use GUI.Toggle().
