Respawn Delay

Having problems with adding a delay in my during respawn after the player dies.

Below, the ONTRIGGER does what I want it to. When my player gets hit my Life Counter subtracts 1, my explosion spawns, and my player respawns at its spawnpoint and I run through the IFrames CoRoutine for my invulnerability for three seconds and back to normal.

The problem I run into is trying to delay that respawn. I want to have a second or two between the explosion and respawn to give the player a short break to regroup. I’ve searched a bit and found that I can use a Coroutine for a delay which I implemented here but it doesn’t seem to do anything.

I’ve placed this Delay() in RespawnPlayer before the spawn and it does nothing. I have a Yield…WaitForSeconds() in my Invulnerability CoRoutine and it works just fine. Am I overlooking something simple here?

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D other)
    {
        if (other.CompareTag("Enemy") || other.CompareTag("Ground"))
        {   
            lifeSystem.TakeLife();   
            Pooler.Spawn(explosion, this.transform.position, this.transform.rotation);
            RespawnPlayer();
           
        }
           
    }

public void RespawnPlayer()
    {   
        StartCoroutine(Delay());
        this.transform.position = spawnPoint.position;
        StartCoroutine(GetInvulnerable());
    }
   

    IEnumerator Delay()
    {
       yield return new WaitForSeconds (2f);
     }

Any logic you want to run after a coroutine has yielded needs to be inside the coroutine, like this:

IEnumerator Delay()
{
  yield return new WaitForSeconds(2f);
  this.transform.position = spawnPoint.position;
}
