boo and yield

Unity Engine
1

I am trying too use boo and yield sttements my code is

  def Start ():
    targetLoop()

  def targetLoop() as IEnumerator :
		for i in range (10):
			Debug.Log("here")
			yield  WaitForSeconds (1)

which does not print out “here” if I comment out the yield it prints “here” 10 times. Tried have the targetLoop return an IEnumerator as recomended for c# no luck, I also tried using
yield return 0;
as recommended For c# but it does not compile.

any sugestions?

Cheers,

Does it work if you use StartCoroutine(targetLoop())?

In C# at least, if you try to call a coroutine like a normal function, you don’t get an error, but it just exits at the first yield. Javascript has some magic going on to make it work transparently, but everywhere else you have to call StartCoroutine manually, I believe.

Thanks, that was it. So boo syntax for yield is between C# and Java. Needs start StartCoroutine and has to return IEnumerator like C# but does not need return

The final code that works is

import UnityEngine
import System.Collections

class Yielder (MonoBehaviour):

  def Start ():
    StartCoroutine(targetLoop())

  def targetLoop() as IEnumerator : 
    for i in range (10): 
      Debug.Log("here ${i}") 
      yield  WaitForSeconds (1)

I tried your example (copy/pasted it) but it exits on the first yield. Am I missing something?
