Using input and a coroutine...

Questions & Answers

I know you cannot use function Update with a coroutine, but does anyone know of a workaround that can accomplish the same thing? Something like this (but without the not working part)? Thanks

var test = 0;

while(test==1){
	foo
	yield
	more foo
	yield WaitForSeconds (1);
	test=0:
}	

function Update(){
	if ((Input.GetKeyDown ("space")){
			test=1;
	}
}

Update can’t be a coroutine, but it can call coroutines - just be sure to not call a coroutine when its previous instance is still running (unless it’s an intended behaviour):

var running = false;

function MyCoroutine(){
    running = true; // signals that the coroutine is running
    print("Coroutine started");
    var t: float = 0;
    while (t < 10){
        t += Time.deltaTime;
        yield;
    }
    print("10 seconds ellapsed");
    yield WaitForSeconds (1);
    print("Coroutine ended");
    running = false; // coroutine finished 
}   

function Update(){
    if ((Input.GetKeyDown ("space")){
        if (!running){ // only call MyCoroutine when the previous one has finished
            MyCoroutine();
        }
    }
}
