Yield WaitForSeconds doesn't work!
I've got this code here and want it to wait 3 sec, before the check boolean gets reversed, but I'm unable to make this happen, since I've obviously put a mistake in my code which I don't find.
My aim is, to make the text fade out and then in again, endlessly.
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class BlinkingText : MonoBehaviour {
float duration = 3;
public GUIText guiText;
public bool check = false;
void Update () {
if (check == false) {
Color myColor = guiText.color;
float ratio = Time.time / duration;
myColor.a = Mathf.Lerp (1, 0, ratio);
guiText.color = myColor;
Pause ();
check = !check;
}
else if (check == true) {
Color myColor = guiText.color;
float ratio = Time.time / duration;
myColor.a = Mathf.Lerp (0, 1, ratio);
guiText.color = myColor;
check = !check;
}
}
IEnumerator Pause() {
yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
}
}
Please help!
Update cannot be yielded. You could move all your code into something other than Update, and then use InvokeRepeating to achieve the desired effect.
Hello.
Calling Pause() in Update wont make it run correctly.
Since it is a coroutine, you need to call it through StartCoroutine().
My advice would be to put all your code in a coroutine and call it in Start().
Like that:
float duration = 3;
public GUIText guiText;
public bool check = false;
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine(this.Fade());
}
IEnumerator Fade()
{
float timeLeft = duration;
float timePassed = 0F;
while (true)
{
myColor.a = Mathf.PingPong(timePassed, 1F);
guiText.color = myColor;
timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime;
timePassed += Time.deltaTime;
if (timeLeft < 0F)
{
timeLeft = duration;
yield return new WaitForSeconds(duration);
}
else
yield return null;
}
}
thank you very much, it works fine to 99%! :D
the 1% problem is that it doesn't fade anymore, the text gets just appears and disappears...
any ideas?
I just had to add
Color myColor = guiText.color;
in line 16, but hell yeah that's it then! :D
thank you so much!!
