Calling functions in a specific order.

Questions & Answers
1

I am writing a basic widget for a moving platform or obstacle of some kind. I have a function, Motion, that calls a group of other functions. The problem is that they are all called at the same time. How can I make the game wait for ForwardMove() to complete before calling yield and BackwardMove.

In addition, how could I get this to repeat or recur as long as moving == True? I tried a While loop but it caused everything to happen at the same time on every frame.

function Motion(){
if (moving){
yield WaitForSeconds(startpause);
ForwardMove(forwardtime);
yield WaitForSeconds(endpause);
BackwardMove(backwardtime);
}

}

What you probably want to do is “chain” coroutines, like this:

function Motion()
{
    while(moving)
    {
        yield WaitForSeconds(startpause);
        yield StartCoroutine(ForwardMove(forwardtime));
        yield WaitForSeconds(endpause);
        yield StartCoroutine(BackwardMove(backwardtime));
    }
}
