How does WaitForSeconds pass values?
I have been trying to add more features to the dialogue system Brackeys made awhile back. One feature I wanted to add was the ability to change the text speed from the Dialogue script. My first thought was to create a float variable in the Dialogue script that I could pass to the DialogueManager script, much like the "name" variable.
IEnumerator TypeSentence (string sentence)
{
dialogueText.text = "";
foreach (char letter in sentence.ToCharArray())
{
dialogueText.text += letter;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(dialogue.textSpeed);
}
}
What I noticed was that the WaitForSeconds method was ignored. However, when I inserted the number I wanted to use in the method, it worked perfectly fine.
IEnumerator TypeSentence (string sentence)
{
dialogueText.text = "";
foreach (char letter in sentence.ToCharArray())
{
dialogueText.text += letter;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.04f);
}
}
I'm not quite sure what causes this, as I am a bit new to couroutines in general. Any answers or explanations would be helpful. Thank you!
