Making a Flickering Light Without Yield WaitForSeconds

Unity Engine
1

So I am trying to create a script that explodes a missile OnCollisionEnter2D. So far I have this script:

  • var delay :float=2;
  • functionOnCollisionEnter2D()
  • {
  • light.enabled =true;
  • rigidbody2D.velocity =Vector2(0,0);
  • animator.SetBool(“missileCollision”,true);
  • yieldWaitForSeconds(delay);
  • Destroy(gameObject);
  • }

Now I want to add a flickering light effect. The problem is that I can only figure out how to do it using ‘yield WaitForSeconds’ (Flickering Light - Unity Engine - Unity Discussions). This causes further delay to the Destroy(gameObject) due to there being multiple ‘yield WaitForSeconds’ statements, which I do not want. Is there another way to accomplish this??

Yes… Start another coroutine. Unity - Scripting API: MonoBehaviour.StartCoroutine
