yield WaitForSeconds help

Unity Engine
1

I am creating a respawn timer, and for whatever reason at the yield the script stops. Any thoughts would help. Sorry format is terrible i don’t know how to do it the better way.

function OnTriggerEnter(other : Collider)
{

if(other.gameObject.tag == “projectile”)
{
Destroy(gameObject);
print(Time.time);
yield WaitForSeconds (5.0);
print(Time.time);
scriptToPullFrom.transform.GetComponent(ScriptWhyBallSpawn).AddSpawn();
}
}

You’ve destroyed the game object, so the script is gone too.

thats what i was thinking, but don’t understand why that when i comment out the yield the script finishes including spawning and the printing.

Destroy does not occur immediately. The function will generally continue to completion and then the gameObject gets destroyed sometime before the frame is drawn. There also exists DestroyImmediate() though it is generally not recommended for use.
