Animation Event issue what am I doing wrong here

Questions & Answers

OK now this is kind of strange. I had been working all weekend trying to figure this out, I eventually got my UFO to take off from the hilltop stone circle as my FPS player gets within a certain range and I've even managed to have the UFO destroy itself with and animation event at the end of the clip and replace the UFO with a dead replacement complete with a Ragdoll dead Alien Zombie that slumps over nicely in the seat when the UFO dead replacement "Instantiates" got some fire happnin too with a nice cracking fire sound. I still have not been able to figure out how to get an explosion to occure about midway through the UFO's fight path though :(

The code works but I get a script error that says: "Update() can not be a coroutine" Whatever that means??

Here is my code that I've attached to my UFO that the animation event calls upon if you would like to have a look.

var UFOexplosionSound : AudioClip;
var explosion : GameObject;
var wreck : GameObject;
function ExplodeUFOsound (clip : AudioClip)

{
audio.PlayOneShot(UFOexplosionSound);
}

function Update () {
    yield WaitForSeconds(3);
    KillSelf();
}

function KillSelf () {
    var wreckClone = Instantiate(wreck, transform.position, transform.rotation);
    Destroy(gameObject);
}

Like I say it appears to work only I get that error message and I'm not sure if this is because my UFO Dead replacement is much more detailed than that of the UFO used for the animation but I guess about at the time in game when it's making the switch the game kinda freezes for a quick moment, not really a biggie I suppose but I'm wondering if there is a way to fix that.

After much hair pulling and teeth grinding I managed to get this script to work:

var explosion : GameObject;
var wreck : GameObject;

function ExplodeUFO()
{
        Instantiate(explosion, transform.position, transform.rotation);
}

function KillSelf () {
        yield WaitForSeconds(3);
        var wreckClone = Instantiate(wreck, transform.position, transform.rotation);
        Destroy(gameObject);
}

I was even able to get my mid air explosion to occure right at the exact keyframe I wanted it. Now to see if I can get a nice big explosion at the end of the animation... after all I figure that speedy UFO is likly to make a big bang lol :D

First, you need to learn to use punctuation. Your first paragraph is quite a read :)

Update can't be a coroutine, meaning you can't yield in it. However there exist an alternative approach on the wiki, CoUpdate, which allow you to yield in an update function similar to Update.

However, you aren't using animation events at all in your posted code.

I still have not been able to figure out how to get an explosion to occure about midway through the UFO's fight path though

Well, you asked a similar question yesterday which I replied to. It should contain code that allow you to use an animation event to explode the UFO after some time into the animation.

yield WaitForseconds() cannot be in the update function. Change to function Start. Have fun =)
