Question Coroutine as variables -- storing parameter

Hi guys,

I need some help. I don't understand how to pass a parameter to a coroutine. I'm going about this way because I'd like to use StopCoroutine(_coRoute )

Thanks for the help!

Code (CSharp):

1. private   IEnumerator _coRoute;
2.  
3. private void OnEnable()
4. {
5.         _coRoute =  MethodMethod();
6.         //HERE UNITY GIVES ME RED ERROR.. and I can't use _aBool
7. }
8.  
9. private void MethodMethod(bool _aBool)
10. {
11.         //stuff
12. }

 

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.StopCoroutine.html

Look at unity's example.

 

Yea I was looking at that for days and couldn't wrap my heard around it ... but now that I think about it... is this the only way to do it?

Visual Studio doesn't throw any errors anymore. I guess this is it
Thanks!

Code (CSharp):

1. [code=CSharp]
2.  
3. private   IEnumerator _coRouteTrue;
4. private   IEnumerator _coRouteFalse;
5.  
6. private void OnEnable()
7. {
8.         _coRouteTrue =  MethodMethod(true);
9.         _coRouteFalse=  MethodMethod(false);
10. }
11.  
12. private void MethodMethod(bool _aBool)
13. {
14.         //stuff
15. }

 

That does match their example. Technically though, you can assign the value of the variable whenever, so you don't actually have to have 2 IEnumerator variables unless you're running both at the same time.

 

That's the thing, I wasn't able to figure out how to do that during Start(). I guess I'll just have 2 variables .. Thanks

 

Your coroutine's return type needs to be IEnumerator.

 

Sorry I don't understand. . .

Thanks anyways!

 

Oh yep, @PraetorBlue was correct and I overlooked when I said it matches their example. You should double check the link I shared to see what is different. Otherwise, it has to do with your method return type.

 

Ohhh right.. typo on my end when I was inputting the code

yea my bad.

And I finally understood what you meant by this .. you're right.... making it a public variable would do the trick
