Question

The following changes the variable myVar each frame, but how do I change it every certain number of milliseconds? Let's say every .1 seconds.

Mathf.Lerp(myVar, 0.0f, 0.5f)

Use InvokeRepeating:

var myVar : float;

function Start () {
    InvokeRepeating("LerpVar", .1, .1);
}

function LerpVar {
    myVar = Mathf.Lerp(myVar, 0.0, someIncrement);
}

how do I turn off the invokerepeating once it's gotten to the target desired number?

the other problem, aside from not being able to turn it off... it seems to launch straight to the destination value... doesn't seem to take it's time getting there at all.

Use CancelInvoke() to turn it off. What is your someIncrement? Try a lower value.
