Is there any way to stop WaitForSeconds() ?

Question

Hello,

I recently have an issue, where I want to stop a Coroutine, if the bool secondChanceUsed is equal to true. But I have no idea to do so, because StopCouroutine() will stop the whole coroutine and yield break will not let calling the win() function.

I hope you can help me out with this and thanks in advance!

IEnumerator countdown(){ yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f); if(!secondChanceUsed){ enableLooseUI(); disablePreLooseUI(); updateTotalPoints(); pointsystem.resetLocalscore(); } else{ // Stop waiting for 5 Seconds and continue with win(); }

No, it's not possible to stop a WaitForSeconds only. Here is how to handle your problem:

 IEnumerator countdown()
 {    
     for( float timer = 5 ; timer >= 0 ; timer -= Time.deltaTime )
     {
         if( secondChanceUsed )
         {
             win();
             secondChanceUsed = false;
             yield break ;
         }
         yield return null ;
     }
     enableLooseUI();
     disablePreLooseUI();
     updateTotalPoints();
     pointsystem.resetLocalscore();
 }

What is the point of using IEnumerator then? Why not just doing it in a simple function?

Because a simple function can't wait. The coroutine allows you to wait until 5 seconds have elapsed OR secondChanceUsed turns true.
