How can i use a bool variable to decide if to use a StartCoroutine ?

Questions & Answers

In one script at the top:

public bool generationDelay = false;

Then in a method, there was only StartCoroutine i added all the IF statement using the bool variable:

private void BeginGame()
    {
        mazeInstance = Instantiate(mazePrefab) as Maze;

        if (generationDelay == true)
        {
            StartCoroutine(mazeInstance.Generate(generationDelay));
        }
        else
        {
            mazeInstance.Generate(generationDelay);
        }
    }

Then in another script in the Generate method:

public IEnumerator Generate (bool generationDelay) {

        if (generationDelay == true)
		WaitForSeconds delay = new WaitForSeconds(generationStepDelay);
		cells = new MazeCell[size.x, size.z];
		List<MazeCell> activeCells = new List<MazeCell>();
		DoFirstGenerationStep(activeCells);
		while (activeCells.Count > 0) {
			yield return delay;
			DoNextGenerationStep(activeCells);
		}
	}

When i added this line inside Generate:

 if (generationDelay == true)

I’m getting error on the line:

WaitForSeconds delay = new WaitForSeconds(generationStepDelay);

The error message:

Embedded statement cannot be a declaration or labeled statement

And also error on the line:
On the delay

yield return delay;

The name ‘delay’ does not exist in the current context

What i want is a public bool variable to decide if to use or not StartCoroutine.

You need to declare this variable “generationStepDelay” before using it.

float generationStepDelay = 5.0f;  // 5 seconds

then on “yield return delay;” just type

 yield return new WaitForSeconds(generationStepDelay);
