Question by Etarnalazure · Sep 24, 2012 at 10:04 AM · waitforsecondsienumerator

WaitForSeconds doesent run properly.

Hello everyone, been looking around and i cant seem to figure out why this problem pops up, so i was hoping some smart person could help me out.

The problem is that the code runs just fine until i reaches WaitForSeconds, it seems that WaitForSeconds doesent run at all leaving my screen green till i change the GUITexture with another function.

Heres the code:

     public GUITexture splash;
     public Player player;
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () 
     {
         splash.enabled = false;
     }
 
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () 
     {
 
     }
     
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
     {
         if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player")
         {
             StartCoroutine(SplashPickUp(0.2f));
             player.Armor += 20;
             Destroy(gameObject);
         }
 
     }
     
     IEnumerator SplashPickUp(float cooldown)
     {
         splash.enabled = true;
         splash.color = Color.green;
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(cooldown);
         splash.enabled = false;
     
     }

Consider -- learn about Invoke(). it is extremely simple.

learn to use Invoke -- later come back and master coroutines/yield/WaitForSeconds

@fattie - for once that wouldn't have worked either ;)

Your problem is that you are doing a Destroy on the game object after starting the coroutine - therefore the coroutine will never run after the wait as it is dead. Put your Destroy inside the coroutine after the wait or consider starting the coroutine on a game object that won't be destroyed.

Thank you very much, moving the "Destroy(gameObject)" into the IEnumerator worked like a charm.
