``` using UdonSharp; using UnityEngine; public class TestTimer : UdonSharpBehaviour { // In this example I just have this hooked up to a light source to make it a slow blinking light [SerializeField] private GameObject _lightBulb; // A float to enter the desired time [SerializeField] private float _delayInSeconds = 10.0f; // I serialized this one just so I can watch it in the editor [SerializeField] private float _elapsedTime = 0.0f; private void Update() { // Time.deltaTime is just x seconds from previous frame // so we increment the elapsed timer until it's equal to or passed the desired time _elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime; if(_elapsedTime >= _delayInSeconds) { // Perform whatever operation you want here _lightBulb.SetActive(!_lightBulb.activeSelf); // Reset timer and start over _elapsedTime = 0.0f; } } } ```

As you may know, UdonSharp is a programming language built for VRChat that has basic C#/Unity library support, unfortunately there's a lot more of those libraries that _aren't_ available. When I did a quick search, all the suggested methods for doing timer based events appeared a little more complex to follow then seemed necessary, which is why I wanted to post this simple script in case anyone is just looking for something easy. Thanks for reading!
