I’m trying to make an archery game, but I can’t figure out how to make yield waitforseconds work so that there is a delay between launching arrows. It keeps saying that there is a parser error and that it doesn’t recognize yield in this context.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class spawnArrows : MonoBehaviour {
	public GameObject arrow;

	private bool allowFire = true;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		if ((Input.GetAxis("Fire1")!=0)&&(allowFire)) {
			StartCoroutine (fireCoroutine ());
		}
	
	}

	IEnumerator fireCoroutine(){
		allowFire = false;
		Instantiate(original: arrow);
		yield WaitForSeconds (5);
		allowFire = true;
	}
}

Your StartCoroutine is not enough. You are instead on line 11 meant to do:

yield StartCoroutine (fireCoroutine ());

that yield WaitForSeconds is useless if your StartCoroutine does not have a yield itself.

The correct syntax should be:

yield return new WaitForSeconds (timeDelay);
