Yield WaitForSeconds

Questions & Answers
1

I want to wait a non-integral amount of seconds( a non whole amount), for example 1.2 secs, I try using the following

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class hp : MonoBehaviour {
public MonoBehaviour someJS;
public float health;

void Awake () {

   someJS=gameObject.GetComponent("badzom") as MonoBehaviour;

}

IEnumerator MyMethod() {
Destroy(someJS);
animation.Play(“death”);
yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.2);

 animation.Stop("death");
     Destroy (gameObject);
}




void Update () {
if (health <=0)
{
StartCoroutine(MyMethod());

}
}

}
But Unity throws the following error: Assets/Plugins/hp.cs(17,33): error CS1525: Unexpected symbol (‘, expecting )’, ,‘, ;’, [‘, or =’

Can WaitForSeconds take a decimal amount, or am I doing something else wrong?

EDIT: If i add return new after the yield it gives:

Assets/Plugins/hp.cs(17,46): error CS1502: The best overloaded methodmatch for `UnityEngine.WaitForSeconds.WaitForSeconds(float)'has some invalid arguments

and

Assets/Plugins/hp.cs(17,46): errorCS1503: Argument #1’ cannot convert double’ expression to type `float’

If I wanted to use a float how would I use it with yield?

Just put an f after the numeral. For Instance:

yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.2f);

If you want to make it a variable that you can edit in the inspector, make sure that variable is a float and not an int (if you want a decimal number).

So like this:

public float myNumber = 0.1;

IEnumerator SetMyNumer {
yield return new WaitForSeconds (myNumber);
//do the thing.

}
