Question by charlenedanes · Apr 08, 2018 at 05:13 PM · www ienumerator panel while-loop stopping

while (true) loop stops when panel is set to active

The increment of x stops if the second condition has been entered. Meaning the loop stops (right?)

   IEnumerator CheckConnection (string url) {
              while (true) {
                  yield return new WaitForSeconds (1);
                  x++;
                  WWWForm form = new WWWForm ();
                  WWW www = new WWW (url, form);
                  yield return www;
                  if (www.isDone && www.bytesDownloaded > 0) {
                      Debug.Log (x);
                  } else if (www.isDone && www.bytesDownloaded == 0) {
                      showLoginModal ();
                      loginModalText.text = "Please check your internet connection.";
                      closeButton.onClick.AddListener (hideLoginModal);
                      Debug.Log (x);
                  }
                  yield return null;
              }
          }

Hrm, are you asking us to test your code for you? You tell us if it stops or not! :D Some disagree with me but as far as I'm concerned, while you are anything less than Advanced at program$$anonymous$$g and Code dev NEVER use while(true). Ever. There are very very few cases where you can not use something else which would inevitably be safer than a non-ending loop. After all, given that its a Ticking Game Engine... the loops have already been made for you in the form of Update etc.

Always made sure to break from a loop or at least to provide a break escape. return from a function.

That said, if it works and isnt broken...win.
