Input.GetKey not working inside Coroutine

Hello, Input.GetKey function isn't working inside a coroutine. I am trying to pause a video using GetKey but it isn't taking any kind of input. What is the problem?

Code (CSharp):

1.  void Start()
2.     {
3.      
4.             movie = go.GetComponent<VideoPlayer>();
5.             movie.clip = firstClip;
6.             movie.Play();
7.             //yield return new WaitForSeconds(Framepause);
8.             movie.Pause();
9.  
10.        
11.     }
12.  
13. void OnGUI()
14.     {
15.         if ((GUI.Button(new Rect(800, 50, 120, 20), "VideoMain")))
16.         {
17.              StartCoroutine(MainVid(KeyCode.DownArrow));
18.         }
19. }
20.  
21. IEnumerator MainVid(KeyCode keyCode)
22.     {
23.  
24.         //ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
25.         // if (Physics.Raycast(ray, out hit) && !movie.isPlaying)
26.  
27.  
28.         if (movie.canSetPlaybackSpeed == true)
29.         {
30.             movie.clip = firstClip;
31.             movie.Prepare();
32.             movie.playbackSpeed = 1f;
33.             movie.time = TimeInSecondsToStart;
34.             movie.Play();
35.  
36.         }
37.  
38.         if (Input.GetKey(keyCode) && movie.isPlaying)
39.         {
40.             //movie.clip = firstClip;
41.             movie.Pause();
42.             movie.time = TimeInSecondsToStop;
43.             movie.Pause();
44.          
45.  
46.         }
47.  
48.         yield return null;
49.     }
50.  
51.  

 

Hi saifshk17,

You are only running the coroutine once. So unless you are holding the key down at that precise moment, the if condition will not be met.

You will want to add a while loop inside MainVid. Make sure the yield is inside the while loop. Check here for more info on coroutines.
