WaitForSeconds.....won't work for me

Questions & Answers

First things first, yes, I have scoured this and many other sites to find out what I’m doing wrong, but I’ve come up with now answers. I’m doing a fairly easy script (based off of other tutorials) as I’m trying to get familiar with the code. I’m doing something wrong, I just can’t figure out what.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ACTING : MonoBehaviour {

	public Transform box;
	public bool readynow;


	void Start (){
	}

	void Update (){
		if(readynow){
			MakeBox();
		}
	}

	void MakeBox(){
		readynow = false;
		Instantiate (box, transform.position, transform.rotation);
		StartCoroutine(Timing(5.0f));
		readynow = true;
	}

	IEnumerator Timing(float timeToWait) {
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(timeToWait);
	}
}

Thanks in advance for any help.

That’s because the Coroutine returns immediately, while waiting for future iterations. This means you’d have to move your readynow = true; code inside the Timing method, after the Yield statement.

Only code inside the Coroutine, after the Yield statement is delayed; cod after the coroutine call is executed immediately.
