Coroutine as variables -- storing parameter

Unity Engine

Hi guys,

I need some help. I don’t understand how to pass a parameter to a coroutine. I’m going about this way because I’d like to use StopCoroutine(_coRoute )

Thanks for the help!

private   IEnumerator _coRoute;

private void OnEnable()
{
        _coRoute =  MethodMethod();
        //HERE UNITY GIVES ME RED ERROR.. and I can't use _aBool 
}

private void MethodMethod(bool _aBool)
{
        //stuff
}

Look at unity’s example.

Yea I was looking at that for days and couldn’t wrap my heard around it … but now that I think about it… is this the only way to do it?

Visual Studio doesn’t throw any errors anymore. I guess this is it :roll_eyes:
Thanks!

[code=CSharp]

private   IEnumerator _coRouteTrue;
private   IEnumerator _coRouteFalse;

private void OnEnable()
{
        _coRouteTrue =  MethodMethod(true);
        _coRouteFalse=  MethodMethod(false);
}

private void MethodMethod(bool _aBool)
{
        //stuff
}

That does match their example. Technically though, you can assign the value of the variable whenever, so you don’t actually have to have 2 IEnumerator variables unless you’re running both at the same time.

That’s the thing, I wasn’t able to figure out how to do that during Start(). I guess I’ll just have 2 variables … Thanks

Your coroutine’s return type needs to be IEnumerator.

Sorry I don’t understand. . . :hushed:

Thanks anyways!

Oh yep, @PraetorBlue was correct and I overlooked when I said it matches their example. You should double check the link I shared to see what is different. Otherwise, it has to do with your method return type.

Ohhh right… typo on my end when I was inputting the code

yea my bad.

And I finally understood what you meant by this … you’re right… making it a public variable would do the trick :sweat_smile:
