Calling IEnumerators
Is it possible to call IEnumerators like you would call a function/void? This for example:
void Update () {
RangedAttack(1);
}
void RangedAttack(int time) {
thisNumber = time;
}
Alternatively:
void Update () {
RangedAttack(1);
}
IEnumerator RangedAttack(int time) {
//code here
yield return new WaitForSeconds(time);
//rest of code
}
As I've tried and nothing happens. After debugging I figured it wasn't possible. If you can't, how can I stall script execution for a specified time without using WaitForSeconds() or IEnumerators?

In C# you would call a Coroutine - your RangeAttack() method - using StartCoroutine(RangedAttack(1)).
Care needs to be taken when firing off Coroutines, as naturally, you can get some pretty hairy interactions if you are firing lots of them off!
Check out Unity docs on Coroutines here:
http://docs.unity3d.com/Documentation/ScriptReference/index.Coroutines_26_Yield.html
Note that StartCoroutine() does not block.
