An image of your code is not helpful
When asking a question about a problem with code, people who are volunteering to help need the text of the code. Unless you are asking about your IDE - and not the code itself - images of the code are not an acceptable substitute.

CoinManager.AddMoney(GoldValue);
And where is this defined?

sorry about that
this is the updated code
Money manager is a singleton and I am calling the addcoin method in the coins script
near pollen
you misspelled coin btw
waxen axle
oh sorry about that 😢

Did you test this code after changing it?
to MoneyManager.instance.AddCoin(GoldValue);
waxen axle
yeah
The delay is working perfectly
but when I reference another script it does not work for that script
waxen axle
ok
so the delay is on the coin script right?
it is working fine as it is
but when I reference the money manager script to add the current coins we have, it does not add that delay anymore
it just adds per frame
near pollen
Well that's because you're telling it to do that. You're not gating the call to AddCoin
It's not part of the timer if statement
It's just inside Update. So of course it's going to do it every frame
i.e.
void Update()
{
Timer += Time.deltaTime;
if (Timer >= DelayAmount)
{
Timer = 0f;
GoldValue++;
}
MoneyManager.instance.AddCoin(GoldValue); // <--- this is unconditional
}
oh I see
