Unityscript Coroutine Not Running When Called

[Maccyjam]

I have a coroutine setup in UnityScript designed to move an object from one position to another. However, when calling the coroutine from another function in the same script nothing occurs.
This is the code i’m using:

	function MoveDown (movObj : GameObject) {
		Debug.Log("Coroutine Start");
		Debug.Log(movObj.transform.position);
		var elapsedTime : float = 0;
		var time : float = 5;
		var startPos : Vector3 = movObj.transform.position;
		var endPos : Vector3 = Vector3(0,0.06,-4);
		while (elapsedTime < time)
		{
		
		//Debug.Log("Moving...");
		movObj.transform.position = Vector3.Lerp(startPos, endPos, Time.deltaTime);		
		elapsedTime += Time.deltaTime;
		yield;
		}
	}

And I am calling it using:

	MoveDown(object1go);

None of the Debug.Logs occur in the console and the object does not move. All of this code is inside of a custom class I have created and the object that i’m trying to move has been instantiated through code, if any of this is important.

What am I doing wrong that is causing it not to run properly?

You can only run coroutines on MonoBehaviour (script) classes. If you create your own non-MonoBehaviour class it can have a coroutine but only if it is in the immediate call, not called as a result of a first call (as it is in your Init code).

It feels odd to me that you are building this functionality in a class rather than a normal script - which leads you to all sorts of extra effort (like remembering to put GameObject in front of Instantiate and having to start coroutines with a massive statement), but perhaps there’s a good reason.
