Coroutine getting player input before timer runs out help

Questions & Answers
1

I am new to Unity so I apologize for my poor explanation:

I have a turn-based game where I need the player to react in a certain amount of time by pressing one of two buttons. If the time runs out, it’s game over, but if a button is pressed within the time-frame, the coroutine needs to exit and continue the program.

I think I need a coroutine GetPlayerInput() that needs to WaitForSeconds() while also checking if a button has received input. How can I do both of these at the same time?

Thanks!

bool receivedInput = false;

IEnumerator GetPlayeInput(int amount)
{
   int iterator = 0;

   while(iterator < amount && !receivedInput)
   {
       iterator += Time.deltaTime;
       yield return null;
   }   
}

public void ReceiveInput()
{
    receivedInput = true;
}
