Updating waitforseconds in IEnumerator

Questions & Answers
1

I want to update the waitforseconds in runtime, is this somehow possible without restarting the IEnumerator? Or is there another way to get this to work?

void Update()
	{
		animationwait = (1 / jpm) * 60;//this is infinity at start so the coroutine stops and decreases later on when increasing jpm
            if (jpm > 0 && !CoroutineIsRunning) {StartCoroutine("Animations");}

            if(lastanimationwait != animationwait)//to update the coroutine
	{
		StopCoroutine("Animations");
		CoroutineIsRunning = false;
		lastanimationwait = animationwait;
		StartCoroutine("Animations");
	}
}
    public IEnumerator Animations()
    	{
    		while(true)
    		{
    			CoroutineIsRunning = true;
    			yield return new WaitForSeconds(animationwait);
    			// change animations later with skills and stuff;
    			babe.animation["Idle"].speed = 1.0f;
    			babe.animation.Play ("Idle");	
    		}
    	}

I hope you can help me with that. Thanks in advance.

If you are talking after the WaitForSeconds() is complete, then yes it will pickup the new value the next time it loops through. If you want to interrupt or reduce it during the WaitForSeconds, then you could replace your WaitForSeconds code and create another class instance variable called ‘waitTime’. Then you could:

 waitTime = animationwait;
 while (waitTime > 0.0f) {
    waitTime -= Time.deltaTime;
    yield return null;
 }

Then if you change ‘waitTime’, it will be immediately reflected in the amount of time to wait.
