Why the object is not start moving while rotating ?

Unity Engine

Now the object rotate and only when the object finished rotating he start moving and I want that when the object is rotating while rotating start also move.

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class DetectCollision : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Transform player;
    public Transform target;
    public Text currPosDistanceUiText;
    public bool rotateAutomatic = false;
    public bool turnOnOffPlayerAnimator = false;

    float timeElapsed = 0;
    float lerpDuration = 3;
    float startValue = 1;
    float endValue = 0;
    float valueToLerp = 0;

    private Animator playerAnimator;
    private bool entered = false;
    private bool prevFacing = false;
    private bool stopped = false;
    private bool move = true;
    private Vector3 currPos;

    // Start is called before the first frame update
    void Start()
    {
        playerAnimator = player.GetComponent<Animator>();

        if (turnOnOffPlayerAnimator)
            playerAnimator.enabled = false;
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    void Update()
    {
        var currFacing = IsFacing(target);
        if (currFacing != prevFacing)
        {
            // here you switched from facing to not facing or vise verca.
            timeElapsed = 0;
        }
        prevFacing = currFacing;

        var distance = Vector3.Distance(player.position, target.position);

        if (IsFacing(target))
        {
            if (entered && distance > 30 && move)
            {
                if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration)
                {
                    valueToLerp = Mathf.Lerp(startValue, endValue, timeElapsed / lerpDuration);
                    playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                    timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
                }
                playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                stopped = true;
                valueToLerp = 0;
            }

            if(move == false)
            {
                playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", 0);
            }

            if (playerAnimator.GetFloat("Forward") == 0 && stopped)
            {
                move = false;
                currPos = player.position;
                StartCoroutine(AnimateRotationTowards(player, Quaternion.Euler(0,90,0), 1f));
                Debug.Log("Player current position when valueToLerp value is 0 : " + currPos);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (rotateAutomatic)
            {
                if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration)
                {
                    valueToLerp = Mathf.Lerp(endValue, startValue, timeElapsed / lerpDuration);
                    playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                    timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
                }
                playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
            }
            else
            {
                if (valueToLerp < 0.9f)
                {
                    if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration)
                    {
                        valueToLerp = Mathf.Lerp(endValue, startValue, timeElapsed / lerpDuration);
                        playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                        timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
                    }
                    playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                }
            }

            var dist = Vector3.Distance(player.position, currPos);
            currPosDistanceUiText.text = dist.ToString();
            if (dist > 2)
            {
                move = true;
            }
        }

        if(turnOnOffPlayerAnimator)
        {
            playerAnimator.enabled = false;
        }
        else
        {
            playerAnimator.enabled = true;
        }
    }

    private void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
    {
        entered = true;

        Debug.Log("Entered !");
    }

    private void OnTriggerExit(Collider other)
    {
        entered = false;

        Debug.Log("Exited !");
    }

    private bool IsFacing(Transform target)
    {
        Vector3 forward = player.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
        Vector3 toTarget = target.position - player.position;
        return Vector3.Dot(forward, toTarget) > 0;
    }

    private System.Collections.IEnumerator AnimateRotationTowards(Transform target, Quaternion rot, float dur)
    {
        rotateAutomatic = true;
        float t = 0f;
        Quaternion start = target.rotation;
        while (t < dur)
        {
            target.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(start, rot, t / dur);
            yield return null;
            t += Time.deltaTime;
        }
        target.rotation = rot;
    }
}

At the bottom I’m using IEnumerator and rotating the object.
I’m also setting a flag to true rotateAutomatic.

Then I’m checking here if rotateAtuomatic is true start moving the object :

if (rotateAutomatic)
            {
                if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration)
                {
                    valueToLerp = Mathf.Lerp(endValue, startValue, timeElapsed / lerpDuration);
                    playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                    timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
                }
                playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
            }

I used a break point and I see it’s getting inside and doing the code inside the if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration) but then when making continue the object is not moving and start moving only when the rotating is finished.

try to debug this

if (rotateAutomatic)
        {
            Debug.Log("if you didnt see me while rotating it mean I'm waiting for IsFacing(target) to return false");
            Debug.Log("but if you see me while rotating it mean my rotation speed is faster then my move speed");
          
            if (timeElapsed < lerpDuration)
            {
                valueToLerp = Mathf.Lerp(endValue, startValue, timeElapsed / lerpDuration);
                playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
                timeElapsed += Time.deltaTime;
            }

            Debug.Log("or my animator need specific valueToLerp to activate the animation");
            Debug.Log("my current valueToLerp is: " + valueToLerp);

            playerAnimator.SetFloat("Forward", valueToLerp);
        }
