Yield, WaitForSeconds not working

[Rick74]

Hey,

I’m trying to create a camera move. The idea is to have the camera start at a position, wait for 4 seconds, and then move to another position.

What’s happening instead, is the camera is instantly moving to the position without waiting the first 4 seconds, and I’m curious why this is.

Here’s a breakdown of the code;

var camSpeed:           float = 5.0f;
var camStart:			boolean = true;

function Update ()
{
	if (camStart)
   	{
   		CameraStart ();
   		camStart = false;
  	}
}


function CameraStart ()
{
	var camStartPosition = Vector3 (11.5, 0, -5);
	transform.position = camStartPosition;
	
	var getCamSpeed : int = 0;
	getCamSpeed = camSpeed;

	camSpeed = 1.0;
	
	yield WaitForSeconds (4);
		
	var camGamePosition = Vector3 (0, 0,-5);
	transform.position = Vector3.Lerp (transform.position, camGamePosition, Time.deltaTime * camSpeed);
	
	getClock.GetComponent(clock).ResumePlayTime ();
	camSpeed = getCamSpeed;
	
}

Because the following two lines will set the position of the camera before you ever get to the yield in CameraStart:

 var camStartPosition = Vector3 (11.5, 0, -5);
 transform.position = camStartPosition;

Also, your lerp will not work because after one iteration through CameraStart(), the camStart variable will no longer be true, so it won’t get called again.

The problem was a separate script was arguing with the camera movement. I have located the problem and fixed the issue.

Thanks to tan for testing my script and assuring me that it works!
