Question by smtabatabaie · Aug 30, 2013 at 09:25 PM · coroutine

Only executing the last coroutine

I have a function which has a yield in it. it's called when user clicks a button and increases a variable. however I want the instructions after my yield to be executed only once and with every click I want the previous coroutine to be terminated and only the last coroutine remain so if the user keeps clicking my button it only executes the last coroutine. here's a sample code :

 var myNum = 0;
 function sample(){
 yield WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
 myNum++;
 }

I did this and this way it only executes the last coroutine :

 var myNum = 0;
 var yieldCnt1 = 0;
 var yieldCnt2 = 0;
 
 function sample(){
    yieldCnt1++;
    yield WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
    yieldCnt2++;
    if(yieldCnt1 != yieldCnt2)
       return;
    myNum++;
 }

Btw it's more common to do something like this:

 var myNum = 0;
 var yieldCnt = 0;
  
 function sample(){
     yieldCnt++;
     yield WaitForSeconds(2.0f);
     yieldCnt--;
     if(yieldCnt != 0)
         return;
     myNum++;
 }
