how can I add the delay between different function calls in C#..
Hi How can I add the delay between different function calls? I tried to use StartCoroutine and it seems to not working for my needs.
DOSomething(34, 454, "Test1"); Delay(10.0f);
DOSomething1(34, 454, "Test2"); Delay(4.0f);
DOSomething2(34, 454, "Test3"); Delay(15.0f);
DOSomething3(34, 454, "Test4"); Delay(19.0f);
How can I make the above concept works?

The function itself has to be a coroutine, and each wait has to be yielded:
void Start() { StartCoroutine(YourFunction()); }
IEnumerator YourFunction() { DOSomething(34, 454, "Test1"); yield return new WaitForSeconds(10.0f);
DOSomething1(34, 454, "Test2");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(4.0f);
DOSomething2(34, 454, "Test3");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(15.0f);
DOSomething3(34, 454, "Test4");
//yield return new WaitForSeconds(19.0f); //this one wouldn't do anything
//yield return StartCoroutine(AnotherCoroutine()); //example of waiting on another function
}
Thanks.. This is exactly what I want..... really appreciate that

But What if you want something like this:
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(YourFunction());
Debug.Log("3 ");
}
IEnumerator YourFunction()
{
Debug.Log("1 ");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
Debug.Log("2 ");
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.0f);
}
Console: 1 2 3

You can use Invoke method to call your required method. Such as: let your function name be : add() then write this code to run add() method after 2 seconds delay : Invoke("add",2f);
Hope it will help you out.
