Help with yield wait for seconds ..

Hello,
I’m trying to make a script where a trigger switch camera, but with a slight delay.
I have been reading a lot about “Yield” and “Wait for seconds” but I can’t get it to work in my script. I would appreciate if someone tried to help me.

Here is my script:

var camera1 : Camera;
var camera2 : Camera;


function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
   if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
   {
      camera1.enabled = true;
      camera2.enabled = false;
      yield WaitForSeconds(1);
      camera1.enabled = false;
      camera2.enabled = true;
      
   }
}

When I want to use WaitForSeconds, I usually make another function. It looks like this :

var camera1 : Camera;
var camera2 : Camera;


function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
   if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
   {
      camera1.enabled = true;
      camera2.enabled = false;
      Switch ();

   }
}

function Switch ()
{
      yield WaitForSeconds(1);
      camera1.enabled = false;
      camera2.enabled = true;
}

Hope this alteration will solve your issue!!! Cheers!

Maybe this will help you…:

var camera1 : Camera;
var camera2 : Camera;

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
   if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
   {
StartCoroutine("ShowAndWaitUntilHide");
   }
}

function ShowAndWaitUntilHide(){

camera1.enabled = true;
      camera2.enabled = false;
      yield WaitForSeconds(1);
      camera1.enabled = false;
      camera2.enabled = true;
}

Hopefully this will work for you!

possibly something like this? i usually use a simple timer like this, may not be that peformance friendly, but it works for me :slight_smile: you may have to play with the timing a bit:

var camera1 : Camera;
var camera2 : Camera;
var timer : float = 2;

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{
   if(other.CompareTag("Player"))
   {
      camera1.enabled = true;
      camera2.enabled = false;

          if(timer <0.1){
          camera1.enabled = false;
          camera2.enabled = true;
          }else{
          timer -= 0.01;
    }
   }
}
