I’m trying to call a function from my PlayerController class from another class, but for some reason the function is never getting called. Any ideas why?

private void FreezePlayers(GameObject player)
    {
        string playerID = player.GetComponent<PlayerModel>().playerID;
        
        foreach(GameObject p in GameManager.instance.players)
        {
            if(p.GetComponent<PlayerModel>().playerID != playerID)
            {
                Debug.Log("Freeze Function Reached");
                p.GetComponent<PlayerController>().Freeze();
            }
        }
    }

In the PlayerController class:

public IEnumerable Freeze()
    {
        Debug.Log("Freeze Function Called");
        isFrozen = true;
        Transform iceBlock = Instantiate(GameManager.instance.iceBlockPrefab, transform.position, Quaternion.identity);
        iceBlock.parent = transform;
        

        yield return new WaitForSeconds(2.0F);

        isFrozen = false;
        Destroy(iceBlock);
    }

I know the freeze function is getting reached because of the print statements I added.
“Freeze Function Reached” gets printed but “Freeze Function Called” never gets printed.

Freeze() is an IEnumerable.

You need to call it as a Coroutine

StartCoroutine(p.GetComponent<PlayerController>().Freeze());
