Destroy object at the end of a coroutine.
Hi! The problem is following: if I start a coroutine that is supposed to play a dying animation of an object and destroy it I get an error: "Coroutine couldn't be started because the game object ... is inactive!"
Coroutine looks more or less like this:
private IEnumerator Die()
{
StartDyingAnimation();
yield return new WaitForSeconds (2.0f);
Destroy(gameObject);
}
It looks that the error is caused by destroying the object, while the coroutine is still running. Is there a way to call Destroy() inside a coroutine and not trigger that error, or should I move the Destroy call outside of the coroutine?
Yeah you can do both. Remember there is never a wrong answer in C#
You got this.
If you actually look at the document, Destroy have its own time countdown:
Destroy(gameObject, 2f);
You dont need couroutine.
And also the error you got is couroutine won't call if object is disable (not active, you must have disable object during die animation).
Try putting a delay when you destroy the Game Object
Try:
private IEnumerator Die()
{
StartDyingAnimation();
yield return new WaitForSeconds (2.0f);
Destroy(gameObject, 2); // this is for 2 second delay
}
Thanks for the answers! It turned out that it was my stupid mistake - I was accidentally calling the method starting the coroutine twice.
