coroutine for reloading
Ok so this has been driving me mad trying to get the enemy to reload using a coroutine. but it just seems to run as loop inside the coroutine. and uses all the clips at once.
void Reload()
{
StartCoroutine (ReloadDelay());
}
IEnumerator ReloadDelay()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(5.0f);
Debug.Log("waiting");
//StartCoroutine (ReloadDelay());
if(Clip > 0)
{
BulletsLeft = BulletPerClip;
Clip--;
PlayReloadAudio();
caseCont = 2;
}
Coroutines are "fire and forget" creatures: you start a coroutine and your code continues almost immediately - the coroutine returns when the first yield is executed, and keeps running in the background each frame. If you call Reload again before the current coroutine has finished, a new one is started. The easiest way to avoid this requires a boolean flag: it's set at the coroutine beginning and reset at the end, and you must only start a new coroutine when the flag is false:
bool reloading = false; // flag indicating "I'm reloading now!"
void Reload(){ // only reload again if the previous coroutine has ended: if (!reloading) StartCoroutine (ReloadDelay()); }
IEnumerator ReloadDelay(){ reloading = true; // signal "I'm reloading..." yield return new WaitForSeconds(5.0f); ... PlayReloadAudio(); caseCont = 2; reloading = false; // reload ended }
