Method returning data from WWW

Questions & Answers

Hello,
I’m trying to create a simple DataManager with a method that can, when called, return the data collected from a PHP page via the WWW class. I’m a bit stuck on how to do this. Is there any other way to get a method to wait for the WWW’s response other than a coroutine or how do I work with the coroutine to eventually create the method to return the result from the WWW?

Thanks

No. Can you imagine a web browser that completely froze waiting for a page to download?

The best you can do is to use the same yielding technique that Unity does. I.e. this pattern:

yield getter.EnsureDataReady();
UseData(getter.data);

Blocking IO died with DOS. (well, it didn’t but it should have…)
