HI and thanks for reading this guys.
Im at the end of me tether a bit so was wondering if i could pose this question has I cant seem to fit the task into my code.
Problem:
I want to fade out a winning GUI.Box(); object after a set amount of time.
I have placed the action on this task in to an IEnumerator, which i though would be best after looking around and trying out different things that either worked but turned everything off or just didnt produce the result.
I have posted my code below , but to explain it a bit further…
It triggers a gui box event after a bool value is checked from reaching a set figure of items to collect.
What i need help with
could someone please just guide me on how to remove the winning text box after a bit of time correctly, whils also keeping the other wintext box in mind as that will need to show and do the same fade when that is achieved too.
AS A NOTE, on my behalf:
There are two (effectively the same functions in there for two different texts - i know this is not optimizing my code but i am in a bit of a hurry just to get the functionality asap really, cos i need to write it up as working).
Thanks again for reading and feel free to shout stupid comments at my stupidity for not seeing something probably really obvious…
PS: I do read the docs, but perhaps I don`t understand them very well or am just a bit stupid… I hope not, in the end!.
Thanks Gruffy

/*ItemController
* Gruffy 2013 - uses static accessibles to obtain score - this can thene be passed around but is dangerous
* ...it should really be placed into a delegate state system i think -future dev point
* THIS IS A FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
*
* The class itself is designed to allow object activations to occur on gameobjects dependent on a clause being met
* In this case, the script has been personlaised to deliver areas and bones current state updates.
