Resolved Does StartCoroutine("x") restart 'x' or play a new 'x'

I'm writing some code (which is irrelevant to the answer I would like) where I want to restart a Coroutine every time I call it. Does the Coroutine automatically restart or do I have to call another function to manually reset it and then start it again? I know the function StopCoroutine exists but just wanted to no if it was unnecessary.

 

No, you can call StartCoroutine multiple times but it will be executed multiple times. Each is it's own run.

Yes, if you want to restart a coroutine you can keep a reference to the coroutine when you call

StartCoroutine

. Then use

StopCoroutine

and clean up the values it might have changed. Then call

StartCoroutine

again.

 

Thanks! It works
