Getting errors with cooling weapons+Coroutine sayin strange things and getting errors when I call it

are my emotions right now. I have no idea how to fix this and when I open up the error method page it says there is no error like this on the website. So I am confused and unsure how to fix this. Please if you think you know how to fix it, tell me. I am not the best at programming, and I've only been making games for 3-4 years. Here is my script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class BaseBlaster : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private float blasterHeat;
7.     private float maxBlasterHeat = 4f;
8.  
9.     private bool canShoot = true;
10.  
11.     public float blasterFireSpeed;
12.     public float blasterDamage;
13.  
14.     public virtual void Shoot ()
15.     {
16.  
17.     }
18.  
19.     public void CoolCheck()
20.     {
21.         if (blasterHeat >= maxBlasterHeat)
22.         {
23.             canShoot = false;
24.             //Error below
25.             StartCoroutine(Cool);
26.             //Error above
27.             canShoot = true;
28.         }
29.     }
30.  
31.     public IEnumerator Cool
32.     {
33.      //Error below
34.         WaitForSeconds(4);
35.     }
36.  
37.     public void Update ()
38.     {
39.  
40.     }
41. }
42.  

Remember, if you think you can fix it, then please by all means go ahead and tell me. BTW I am only 11 yrs old.

 

Hey there!!

It seems your Cool method isn't returning anything. It's signature indicates it should return an IEnumerator Object. Since it's a coroutine it must yield its return object so try this instead:

Code (CSharp):

1. public IEnumerator Cool
2. {
3.     yield return new WaitForSeconds(4f);
4. }

 

I think you should use: ()
public IEnumerator Cool()

 

Still, I have errors.
Argument 1: cannot convert from 'method group' to 'string'
24 28

The best overloaded method match for 'UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour.StartCoroutine(string)' has some invalid arguments 24 13

Here is my script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class BaseBlaster : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private float blasterHeat;
7.     private float maxBlasterHeat = 4f;
8.  
9.     private bool canShoot = true;
10.    
11.     public float blasterFireSpeed;
12.     public float blasterDamage;
13.  
14.     public virtual void Shoot ()
15.     {
16.  
17.     }
18.  
19.     public void CoolCheck()
20.     {
21.         if (blasterHeat >= maxBlasterHeat)
22.         {
23.             canShoot = false;
24.             StartCoroutine(Cool);
25.             canShoot = true;
26.         }
27.     }
28.  
29.     public IEnumerator Cool()
30.     {
31.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(4f);
32.     }
33.  
34.     public void Update ()
35.     {
36.  
37.     }
38. }
39.  

 

Thank you for your help! I have fixed the problem by adding "()" in front of the word Cool in the StartCoroutine. Thank you everybody!
