Can't get past WaitForSeconds in my coroutine

Questions & Answers

So I have a coroutine which should wait 7 seconds, then set a text field to “”. However, Debug.Log i placed after the WaitForSeconds call never fires.

void DisplayUsername(IResult result)
    {
        Text UserName = DialogUsername.GetComponent<Text>();
        if(string.IsNullOrEmpty(result.Error))
        {
            UserName.text = "Hi, " + result.ResultDictionary["first_name"];
            StartCoroutine(RemoveWelcomeMessage(UserName));
        }
        else
        {
            Debug.Log(result.Error);
        }
    }

   IEnumerator RemoveWelcomeMessage(Text message)
    {

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1);
        message.text = "";
    }

I used the exact same method to Destroy objects in other scripts but I can’t figure out why this never gets through the Wait. Any ideas?

Greatly appreciated.

I was setting timeScale to 0 elsewhere in my code. Woops. I need coffee.
