C# How to ping servers and get server latency?
Hi, I was trying to make a mutiplayer menu with all the online servers and stuff, I was wondering how could i make the server latency. I've tried this.
IEnumerator PingServer(string ip){
Ping ping = new Ping(ip);
while(!ping.isDone){
yield return 0;
}
yield return ping.time;
}
void OnGUI() {
GUI.Box(new Rect( 0,0,100,20),StartCoroutine(PingServer(PhotonNetwork.PhotonServerSettings.ServerAddress)) + " ms");
}
But the return value is UnityEditor.Coroutine so I'm not sure whats wrong. Please help, Thanks in advance. :)

Wow! You can't do this in one function. Try to read about coroutines first: http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/Coroutines.html
You can't return from coroutine function something else.
Pinging a server should be an async operation. Make Ping variable a class member and check it's flag isDone every frame.
I fixed link. Read about yield statement and coroutines in Unity3D.
