Hello, I need help with a simple script. I am a super noob and I am trying to write a script to make the player move by fixed steps (like in a grid) using c# and unity 4.3. I tried (following a wiki example) to use a coroutine because I want to stop receiving input from the keyboard until the movement to the next position in the grid is done, but I keep getting compiler errors. Here is what I’ve done so far:


using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
public GameObject player;
public float speed;
private Vector3 p;
    
       void Start ()
       {
    		// player position
    		p = player.transform.position;
    		//starts coroutine CoUpdate()
    		StartCoroutine(CoUpdate());
    	}
    
    	//coroutine
    	IEnumerator CoUpdate() 
    	{
    		if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
    		{
    			yield return move(Vector3.right);
    		}
    		else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.LeftArrow))
    		{
    			yield return move(Vector3e.left);
    		}
    		else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.UpArrow))
    		{
    			yield return move(Vector3.forward);
    		}
    		else if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.DownArrow))
    		{
    			yield return move(Vector3.back);
    		}
    		else
    		{
    			yield return null;
    		}
    	}
    
    	void move(Vector3 direction)
    	{
    		transform.Translate(direction * speed * Time.deltaTime, Space.Self);
    	}
    
    }

With this code compiler complains that "cannot convert type void to object’, and even if I add

new after yield it throws errors. How can I fix it?

Anything to be yielded (here you are yielding the result of a call to move) should be an IEnumerator.

What you probably want to do is:

if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.RightArrow))
{
move(Vector3.right);
yield return null;
}

// The rest of cases
// ...
