Question Coroutine is not invoking on click listener funtion(Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1)

The game object is rotating fine when StartCoroutine(PlayerCoroutine()) is used in Start but when I called it from Play() the game object doesn't rotate

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4. using System.Linq;
5.  
6. public class BatRotate : MonoBehaviour
7. {
8.     bool play = true;
9.     List<string> frames = new List<string>() {
10.         "Orient: x= 0.00 |       y= 0.00 |      z= 0.00",
11.         "Orient: x= 90.00 |       y= 0.00 |      z= 0.00"
12.     };
13.     string frame = "";
14.     int frameIndex = 0;
15.     int frameIndexUpdated = 0;
16.  
17.     private void Start()
18.     {
19.     }
20.  
21.     IEnumerator PlayerCoroutine()
22.     {
23.         while (play && frameIndex < frames.Count)
24.         {
25.             frame = frames[frameIndex].Replace("Orient:", "");
26.             frameIndex++;
27.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.5f);
28.         }
29.         play = false;
30.     }
31.  
32.     public void Play()
33.     {
34.         StartCoroutine(PlayerCoroutine());
35.     }
36.  
37.     void Update()
38.     {
39.         if (!play)
40.         {
41.             StopCoroutine(PlayerCoroutine());
42.         }
43.         else if (frameIndex > frameIndexUpdated)
44.         {
45.             List<string> orient = frame.Split('|').Select(item => item.Trim()).ToList();
46.             string StringValue_OrientX = orient[0].Replace("x=", "").Trim();
47.             string StringValue_OrientY = orient[1].Replace("y=", "").Trim();
48.             string StringValue_OrientZ = orient[2].Replace("z=", "").Trim();
49.  
50.             float OrientX, OrientY, OrientZ;
51.  
52.             if (float.TryParse(StringValue_OrientX, out OrientX) &&
53.                 float.TryParse(StringValue_OrientY, out OrientY) &&
54.                 float.TryParse(StringValue_OrientZ, out OrientZ))
55.             {
56.                 Vector3 dir = new Vector3(OrientX, OrientY, OrientZ);
57.                 transform.rotation = Quaternion.Slerp(transform.rotation, Quaternion.Euler(dir), Time.deltaTime * 200f);
58.             }
59.             else
60.             {
61.                 Debug.Log("Parsing failed for one or more values.");
62.             }
63.         }
64.     }
65. }

 

Actually I am debugging a lot and I am new to unity, this was working alright I don't what happend now it's not working,
basically I want to rotate the gameobject with the frame data, it's is working on Start method but Play() method it is not working, I am stuck with for many days, that's why I added urgent bro

 

Are you? It feels like you may not be doing it correctly. Try this approach:

Time to start debugging! Here is how you can begin your exciting new debugging adventures:

You must find a way to get the information you need in order to reason about what the problem is.

Once you understand what the problem is, you may begin to reason about a solution to the problem.

What is often happening in these cases is one of the following:

- the code you think is executing is not actually executing at all
- the code is executing far EARLIER or LATER than you think
- the code is executing far LESS OFTEN than you think
- the code is executing far MORE OFTEN than you think
- the code is executing on another GameObject than you think it is
- you're getting an error or warning and you haven't noticed it in the console window

To help gain more insight into your problem, I recommend liberally sprinkling

Debug.Log()

statements through your code to display information in realtime.

Doing this should help you answer these types of questions:

- is this code even running? which parts are running? how often does it run? what order does it run in?
- what are the names of the GameObjects or Components involved?
- what are the values of the variables involved? Are they initialized? Are the values reasonable?
- are you meeting ALL the requirements to receive callbacks such as triggers / colliders (review the documentation)

Knowing this information will help you reason about the behavior you are seeing.

You can also supply a second argument to Debug.Log() and when you click the message, it will highlight the object in scene, such as

Debug.Log("Problem!",this);

If your problem would benefit from in-scene or in-game visualization, Debug.DrawRay() or Debug.DrawLine() can help you visualize things like rays (used in raycasting) or distances.

You can also call Debug.Break() to pause the Editor when certain interesting pieces of code run, and then study the scene manually, looking for all the parts, where they are, what scripts are on them, etc.

You can also call GameObject.CreatePrimitive() to emplace debug-marker-ish objects in the scene at runtime.

You could also just display various important quantities in UI Text elements to watch them change as you play the game.

Visit Google for how to see console output from builds. If you are running a mobile device you can also view the console output. Google for how on your particular mobile target, such as this answer for iOS: https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-capturing-device-logs-on-ios.529920/ or this answer for Android: https://forum.unity.com/threads/how-to-capturing-device-logs-on-android.528680/

If you are working in VR, it might be useful to make your on onscreen log output, or integrate one from the asset store, so you can see what is happening as you operate your software.

Another useful approach is to temporarily strip out everything besides what is necessary to prove your issue. This can simplify and isolate compounding effects of other items in your scene or prefab.

If your problem is with OnCollision-type functions, print the name of what is passed in!

Here's an example of putting in a laser-focused Debug.Log() and how that can save you a TON of time wallowing around speculating what might be going wrong:

Note: the

print()

function is an alias for Debug.Log() provided by the MonoBehaviour class.

 

But that above code is working fine on Start method and earlier it was also working on click listener also, but now I don't now what happened it is working on Start() method but not on click listener. You can see.

 

OP.. please just respond with any meaningful answer to the one most important question that has been asked several times. Do you actually call this Play() method you created? There is no Play() function provided by Unity. This is your own function, so you must call it yourself. In the code provided you dont do that. That's why you have been asked several times now..

.. which you basically ignored. You put the StartCoroutine in a function that is never called. Thus the code of that coroutine will not be executed. It's as simple as that. If you execute code, the code will do what it is implemented to do.

If you put a simple

Code (CSharp):

1. Debug.Log("Is this getting called?");

into your Play() method and told us whether that shows up in the console, that would be all we want to know. Unless you call Play() from some other script, which has a reference to BatRotate, it wont tho.
