WaitForSeconds does not work in custom function

Questions & Answers
1

I made this script so when my player hits the object it gets pushed up in the air, and after some time it then destroys itself.
I made a custom function called despawn, but when i call it, it ignores the WaitForSecond.
Why does it do that, and how do i fix it?

#pragma strict

var addForce = 0;

function Start () {

}

function Update () {


}



function OnCollisionEnter (col : Collision)
{
    if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player")
    {
        gameObject.GetComponent(Rigidbody).isKinematic = false;
        rigidbody.AddForce (0, addForce, 500);
        Despawn ();
    }    
}



function Despawn () {

  WaitForSeconds (10);
 Destroy (gameObject);


}

I’m surprised this compiles.

To use WaitForSeconds you need a yield. As in:

yield WaitForSeconds(10);

However a better way would be

Destroy (gameObject, 10);
