How to "pause" a coroutine ?

Unity Engine

Hi,

On my game cut scenes, I’ve use a SceneManager() Coroutine in which I use something like:

//SCENE VILLAGE
		Cam[0].enabled = true;
		Cam[1].enabled = false;
		SceneRoot[0].animation.clip = ACCSIntro[0];
		SceneRoot[0].animation.Play();
		//yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
		CS_Intro_SoundSystem.SoundOn[0] = true;
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(12f);
		Finger.SetActiveRecursively(false);
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(ACCSIntro[0].length-12f);
		SceneRoot[0].animation.clip = ACCSIntro[1];
		SceneRoot[0].animation.Play();
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(ACCSIntro[1].length);
		SceneRoot[0].animation.clip = ACCSIntro[2];
		SceneRoot[0].animation.Play();
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(ACCSIntro[2].length);
		Girl[0].SetActiveRecursively(true);
		Girl[1].SetActiveRecursively(false);
		SceneRoot[0].animation.clip = ACCSIntro[3];
		SceneRoot[0].animation.Play();
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(ACCSIntro[3].length-1f);

Basically a series of :

SceneRoot[0].animation.clip = ACCSIntro[0];
SceneRoot[0].animation.Play();
yield return new WaitForSeconds(ACCSIntro[0].length);

I’m calling that Coroutine in the Start() function
And I found it pretty much straight forward and easy to use.

Here, the case is slightly different, I want to use that same technique, but the user will touch the screen to move on to the next part
so something like that :

SceneRoot[0].animation.clip = ACCSIntro[0];
SceneRoot[0].animation.Play();
yield return new WaitForSeconds(ACCSIntro[0].length-5);
NextButtonOnOff = true;

if(Next) → SceneRoot[0]…

is there a way to sort of Waiting for this next bool to be true to continue in the coroutine? I could do it with a lot of “if” and recall all the time the coroutine, but I’m looking for a clean way of doing it.
Basically how to pause a coroutine until bool returned (button pressed).

Thanks for the help

thanks a lot works as I wanted!

What if Coroutine is waiting for 1 sec, then it reached 0.4 sec ( thus needs to wait 0.6 more).

At this specific time, i need the coroutine to pause, then recontinue counting the second ( or the remaining 0.6)

Is that feasible?

yeah:

float timer = 0f;
while(timer < 1f) {
    while(!some_condition) {
        yield return null;
    }

    timer += Time.deltaTime;
    yield return null;
}

And you can add all of that to a CustomYieldInstruction.
