WaitForSeconds not waiting for specified time

Questions & Answers

Hey guys, in the below script I am changing the priority of my cinemachine vcam and then starting a coroutine.

    void KillingCamera() {
    guardKillingDollyCart.m_Speed=1f;
    ActiveCamera=gameSettings.GetComponent<GameSettingsController>().GiveActiveCamera();
    if(ActiveCamera!=null)
    {    
        if(gameSettings.GetComponent<GameSettingsController>().tpp)
        {
           var vcam=ActiveCamera.GetComponent<CinemachineFreeLook>();
           guardKillingCameraController.Priority=vcam.Priority+1;
        }
        else{
            var vcam=ActiveCamera.GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
             guardKillingCameraController.Priority=vcam.Priority+1;
        }
    }
    StartCoroutine(TimeSlowDown());     
}

The coroutine currently contains only one WaitForSeconds but I have to filll it with multiple of them to change the Time.timeScale to match my animation.

   IEnumerator TimeSlowDown() { 
  yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.3f);
  Time.timeScale=0.06f;
  print("Time is slowed down");
}

The problem is that unity does not wait for 0.3 seconds and changes the value of timeScale almost immediately most of the time. Only once or twice in every five times does it wait 0.3 seconds.
I would be very glad if someone could help me solve the problem or tell me another way of waiting for specific time in scripts.
Thanks in advance.

In theory, the coroutine can be replaced with simple counters:

bool isStartTimer;
float timeToWait = 0.3f;
float timer;

void KillingCamera()
{
    guardKillingDollyCart.m_Speed = 1f;
    ActiveCamera = gameSettings.GetComponent<GameSettingsController>().GiveActiveCamera();
    if (ActiveCamera != null)
    {
        if (gameSettings.GetComponent<GameSettingsController>().tpp)
        {
            var vcam = ActiveCamera.GetComponent<CinemachineFreeLook>();
            guardKillingCameraController.Priority = vcam.Priority + 1;
        }
        else
        {
            var vcam = ActiveCamera.GetComponent<CinemachineVirtualCamera>();
            guardKillingCameraController.Priority = vcam.Priority + 1;
        }
    }
    isStartTimer = true;
}

void Update()
{
    TimeSlowDown();
}

void TimeSlowDown()
{
    if (!isStartTimer) { return; }

    timer += Time.unscaledDeltaTime;
    if (timer >= timeToWait)
    {
        timer = 0;
        isStartTimer = false;
        Time.timeScale = 0.06f;
        print("Time is slowed down");
    }
}
