Question by DarkSlash · Jun 09, 2014 at 09:31 PM · coroutinefor-loopstartcoroutine

A loop FOR waits for a coroutine to end

How I do that a for loop waits to a coroutine to end before moving to the next step? Until now I got this:

         for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
         {
             yield return StartCoroutine(MyFunction());
         }

But it doesn't work... what I'm doing wrong?

EDIT: This code is right, but MyFuntion called another function just like StartCoroutine(mySubFunction) and NOT like yield return StartCoroutine(mySubFunction). That was the problem!

What you have does work. You have to call your function as a coroutine though. Only coroutines are able to pause execution; if a normal function hits a yield statement or if it wasn't started with StartCoroutine it'll just silently exit.

 void Start() {
   StartCoroutine(SlowLoop());
 }
 
 IEnumerator SlowLoop() {
   for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
     Debug.Log("Step " + i);
     yield return StartCoroutine(MyFunction());
   }
   Debug.Log("Done");
 }
 
 IEnumerator MyFunction() {
   yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
 }
