Coroutine cannot be automatically started from a static function
So I have a static (!!) function which does something great, at the end of this function I want to call another function with a coroutine in it (called fadeOut()), what happens now is that the coroutine doesn't start and unity gives me the following warning:
WARNING: Coroutine 'fadeOut' cannot be automatically started from a static function.
I have no idea what to do now.. the internet tells me I have to put the coroutine in another script but this doesn't work aswell, gives me the same warning and same effect!
My Code:
static function myStaticFunction(){
[...some code...]
fadeOut(0.5);
}
static function fadeOut(duration : int){
for(var t = 0; t < duration*100; t++)
{
[...some code...]
yield WaitForSeconds(0.01);
}
return;
}
Well.. help :D Probably I'm just not understanding or seeing somethign very easy, but I don't quite know what at the moment and please don't just say like "put fadeOut in another script", please explain me how exactly or better why as I didn't get it when the others explained it :o
PS: I'm a 15 year old german student, so my english isn't the best (and my understanding aswell) :)
Yes you can invoke Coroutine from static method for that you need instance of class. Following code examples will explain it better than me.
C# :
public class CoRoutineTest : MonoBehaviour {
private static CoRoutineTest instance;
void Start()
{
instance = this;
StaticStart();
}
static void StaticStart()
{
instance.StartCoroutine (instance.FadeOut());
}
IEnumerator FadeOut()
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds (1f);
Debug.Log ("Ohh Someone call me");
}
}
UnityScript :
public class CoRoutineTestJS extends MonoBehaviour {
private static var instance: CoRoutineTestJS;
private function Start()
{
instance = this;
StaticStart();
}
private static function StaticStart()
{
instance.StartCoroutine (instance.FadeOut());
}
private function FadeOut(): IEnumerator
{
yield WaitForSeconds (1);
Debug.Log ("Someone call me too :)");
}
}
Thanks to C# to UnityScript Converter
