Firing a function once if a game object is below or at a certain position

Unity Engine

Hey. I’m trying to fire a lose game function once which takes a second to pass through from my Update function. It fires when a game object is below or at a certain y position. For some reason, the script does not go into the function at all. Here’s the bit of code I’m working with:

if(gameObject.tag == "UpCube" &&
           gameObject.transform.position.y <= 4.0f &&
           loseToggle == 0)  
        {
            loseToggle = 1;
            LoseGame();
        }

IEnumerator LoseGame ()
    {

            Debug.Log("losegame!!");

            container.SetActive(false);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.25f);
            container.SetActive(true);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.25f);
          
            container.SetActive(false);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.25f);
            container.SetActive(true);
            yield return new WaitForSeconds (0.25f);
          
            Application.LoadLevel(0);
    }

The set active and false back to back thing is to make the items inside the container blink before the game goes to back to start after losing.

Afaik, in order to use a coroutine, the syntax is:

StartCoroutine(“LoseGame”);

That worked, thanks a bunch!

You can also do it like

StartCoroutine(LoseGame());

Little more safe than passing magic strings around that can’t be checked till runtime.
