Coroutine state control
I've got a question about StartCoroutine() and StopCoroutine() functions.
When you use a string argument these functions control same coroutine. But if you use enumerator argument like:
StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
... some code
StopCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
It doesn't stop the coroutine you've started even if it's the only one running.
Is it intended to be like that? Because function API says:
Stops the first coroutine named
methodName, or the coroutine stored inroutinerunning on this behaviour.

Seems like it really is intended to be like that and StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine()) stores a new routine everytime you call this function.
So the only one solution is to store your coroutine in a variable and use it like that:
private Coroutine myRoutine;
myRoutine = StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
...
if(myRoutine != null)
StopCoroutine(myRoutine);
Well it's logical behavior. Should've guessed that earlier.
