Definition

  • Type: Property
  • Namespace: UnityEngine
  • Assembly: UnityEngine.CoreModule
public static bool isPlaying { get; }

Remarks

In a built Player, this method always returns true.
In the Editor, it returns true if the Editor is in Play mode.
Unity might throw an exception when 
Application.isPlaying
is accessed in the class constructor or its value is assigned to a variable.
Note: In the Editor for ScriptableObject assets, this property returns false in OnEnable. After reloading the domain, when reloading assemblies, Unity invokes OnEnable on all ScriptableObject instances. This happens before isPlaying is set to true.

Examples

using UnityEngine;class Example : MonoBehaviour{    void Start()    {        if (Application.isPlaying)        {            print("In player or playmode");        }    }}
