Hello everyone, been looking around and i cant seem to figure out why this problem pops up, so i was hoping some smart person could help me out.

The problem is that the code runs just fine until i reaches WaitForSeconds, it seems that WaitForSeconds doesent run at all leaving my screen green till i change the GUITexture with another function.

Heres the code:

	public GUITexture splash;
	public Player player;
	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () 
	{
		splash.enabled = false;
	}

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () 
	{

	}
	
	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider col)
	{
		if(col.gameObject.tag == "Player")
		{
			StartCoroutine(SplashPickUp(0.2f));
			player.Armor += 20;
			Destroy(gameObject);
		}

	}
	
	IEnumerator SplashPickUp(float cooldown)
	{
		splash.enabled = true;
		splash.color = Color.green;
    	yield return new WaitForSeconds(cooldown);
		splash.enabled = false;
	
	}

Your problem is that you are doing a Destroy on the game object after starting the coroutine - therefore the coroutine will never run after the wait as it is dead. Put your Destroy inside the coroutine after the wait or consider starting the coroutine on a game object that won’t be destroyed.
