Question enable and disable component through a coroutine in an if statement (beginner)

Good day,
i would like to receive help regarding the following code because my boxcollider does active but not deactive with the coroutine.

Code (CSharp):

1.         ...
2.             BoxCollider m_boxcollider = nearbyObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
3.             if (m_boxcollider != null)
4.             {
5.              
6.                 StartCoroutine(waitstuntimeboxcollider(m_boxcollider));
7.  
8.             }
9.  
10.  
11.         }
12.  
13.         IEnumerator waitstuntimeboxcollider(BoxCollider boxcolliderplaceholder)
14.         {
15.             boxcolliderplaceholder.enabled = true;
16.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
17.             boxcolliderplaceholder.enabled = false;
18.         }

Thanks for reading!

 

It works fine. What are you expecting to happen when the box collider is disabled?. Do you want the box to vanish?.

 

I want to displace the GreenSymbol Character Controller during the flight through an explosion with a box collider.
Maybe my Unity Version is the problem because the Box Collider really does not deactivate after 2 seconds:
I do think i do the same as others and it does not work in my case somehow^^

 

Wahrscheinlich besser wenn ich das ganze Skript poste: Grenade for FPS Micro Game(noch nicht fertig):

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using Unity.FPS.Game;
4. using Unity.FPS.Gameplay;
5. using Unity.FPS.UI;
6. using UnityEngine;
7.  
8. public class Grenade : MonoBehaviour {
9.  
10.     public float delay = 3f;
11.     public float radius = 5f;
12.     public float force = 700f;
13.     public GameObject explosionEffect;
14.  
15.     float countdown;
16.  
17.     bool hasExploded = false;
18.  
19.  
20.     // Use this for initialization
21.     void Start () {
22.         countdown = delay;  
23.     }
24.    
25.     // Update is called once per frame
26.     void Update () {
27.         countdown -= Time.deltaTime;
28.         if(countdown <= 0 && !hasExploded){
29.             Explode();
30.             hasExploded = true;
31.         }
32.     }
33.  
34.  
35.     public int coroutinestartstop = 1;
36.  
37.     void Explode(){
38.         //Show Effect
39.        
40.         Instantiate(explosionEffect,transform.position,transform.rotation);
41.  
42.         //Get nearby objects
43.         Collider[] colliderstodestroy = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position,radius);
44.        
45.  
46.         foreach (Collider nearbyObject in colliderstodestroy)
47.         {
48.  
49.  
50.             Destruction2 m_destruction2 = nearbyObject.GetComponent<Destruction2>();
51.             //Apply force
52.             if (m_destruction2 != null)
53.             {
54.                 m_destruction2.Destroyer();
55.             }
56.             Health m_health2= nearbyObject.GetComponent<Health>();
57.             if(m_health2 != null)
58.             {
59.                 m_health2.TakeDamage(23, gameObject);
60.             }
61.         }
62.  
63.         Collider[] colliderstomove = Physics.OverlapSphere(transform.position, radius);
64.         foreach (Collider nearbyObject in colliderstomove) {
65.             CharacterController m_charactercontroller = nearbyObject.GetComponent<CharacterController>();
66.             if (m_charactercontroller != null)
67.             {
68.                 m_charactercontroller.enabled = false;
69.             }
70.            
71.             Rigidbody rb = nearbyObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
72.             //Apply force
73.             if (rb != null) {
74.                 rb.isKinematic = false;
75.                 rb.AddExplosionForce (force, transform.position, radius);
76.             }
77.  
78.             if (m_charactercontroller != null)
79.             {
80.                 m_charactercontroller.enabled = false;
81.             }
82.             BoxCollider m_boxcollider = nearbyObject.GetComponent<BoxCollider>();
83.             if (m_boxcollider != null)
84.             {
85.                
86.                 StartCoroutine(waitstuntimeboxcollider(m_boxcollider));
87.  
88.             }
89.  
90.  
91.         }
92.  
93.  
94.  
95.         //Remove Grenade
96.         Destroy(gameObject);
97.     }
98.     IEnumerator waitstuntimeboxcollider(BoxCollider boxcolliderplaceholder)
99.     {
100.         boxcolliderplaceholder.enabled = true;
101.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
102.         boxcolliderplaceholder.enabled = false;
103.     }
104.  
105. }
106.  

 

I did notice that the IEnumerator was placed in the Exlode function before but putting it outside did not solve the problem.

 

Well, you do DESTROY your gameObject immediately after starting the coroutine. Coroutines are bound to the MonoBehaviour that started them. So if you destroy the object your coroutine will also be gone.

Basically, you tell your grenade to do something in 2 seconds. But then you kill it immediately. Two seconds later that poor grenade is not around anymore to do your bidding. It's dead, gone.

 

That makes sense thanks xD And thx zulo3d too! Will post full codes in the future!
