C# yield not working.
I am making a reload time, but when I start a coroutine, it doesn't wait for 3 seconds and then reloads. Here is my code:
void Update(){
if(ammoInClip == 0){
StartCoroutine("reload", 3f);
ammoInClip = 30;
}
}
IEnumerator reload(float wait){
yield return new WaitForSeconds (wait);
}
Hi
Your coroutine waits 3 seconds and nothing more (in a coroutine). So you need to put the ammoInClip inside the coroutine or better delete the coroutine and make the yield before the ammoInClip = 30 line.
if (ammoInClip == 0)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
ammoInClip = 30;
}
Hope it helps
I think you don't quite know how Coroutines work...
You need to reload after yielding. The StartCoroutine method doesn't wait, it just starts up a coroutine that waits. But as you have it, the coroutine starts, waits for 3 seconds, and doesn't do anything.
IEnumerator Reload( float wait)
{
yield return new WaitForSeconds( wait );
ammoInClip = 30;
}
Now the coroutine waits, then reloads. Now you need to change the if statement in your Update loop so you aren't firing off tons of coroutines every update for 3 seconds. Just have a isReloading bool that you flip on when you fire and check against before firing.
$$anonymous$$ake sense? Hope this helps!
thank you to Op_toss, your answer help me out of this!
i have the wrong concept about the "yield wait", you just correct me, thanks!
The problem happens because when you yield, you immediately return the control to the Update method. It then executes the ammoInClip = 30. After 3 seconds, the control returns to Reload - that does nothing.
That's why you have to put ammoInClip = 30 after the yield, so it can return the control to the Update method, continue the game and come back after 3 seconds to reload.
void Update(){
if(ammoInClip == 0){
StartCoroutine(Reload(3f));
}
}
IEnumerator Reload(float wait){
yield return new WaitForSeconds (wait);
ammoInClip = 30;
}
Note the call for StartCoroutine, I'm not using a string, better for type-safety.
Do you come from Java? Methods in C# usually starts with lowercase :)
Thanks so much for your help. I just found out about coroutines today lol. Thanks
With the use of code and whenever you want to StartCoroutine that has require the method name and its argument if you have passed.
void Update(){
if(ammoInClip == 0){
StartCoroutine(reload(3.0f));
ammoInClip = 30;
}
}
IEnumerator reload(float wait){
yield return new WaitForSeconds (wait);
}
