In-game score counter that depends on time C#

February 21, 2022

I have a very simple game, I wanted to add a score to it, after that it started to lag a lot, here is my score counter code, I think the problem is in it

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Score : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Text scoreText;
    public int scr = 0;
    
    void Update(){
       System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
       scr = scr + 1;
       scoreText.text = scr.ToString(); 
    }
}

>Solution :

If you want to execute Update() method each 1000ms, maybe better aproach is to create coroutine executing each 1000ms.

void Start(){
       StartCoroutine(SampleCoroutine());
}

IEnumerator SampleCoroutine()
{
       while(true){
            yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
            scr = scr + 1;
            scoreText.text = scr.ToString();
       }
}
