I am trying to make a game that switches between a red and green background and you have to press space when its green. It is sort of a timing/reaction time game. I use SetActive(); to show and hide the red and green backgrounds. The only problem is that when I set the a gameObject to false it doesn’t run the Update functions. I have heard of using a coroutine as a solution but I don’t really understand it. Can someone explain this to me or help me come up with another solution? Thank you in advance.
Also, this question belongs to scripting forum (= don’t expect too many answers here…)
Coroutines get called each frame update.
So like Unity calls your Update() method each frame, it will also update coroutines that are running/started from that specific MonoBehaviour script.
So you could have a for loop or while loop in your Coroutine, and when you put a yield there, coroutine will each update run your code to that line, and then it bails out until next frame update (if there is something to be executed after your yield statement, or your yield is in a loop that isn’t done yet).
You can find quite good explanation in the documentation:
And if that isn’t enough, if you simply google, you’ll find several tutorials and articles about Unity Coroutines.
