Question Running order

How do I wait for a coroutine to finish from outside of it? It seems you can only wait inside the coroutines and then carry on with whatever you want to do from there, instead of returning to the original flow of your code after the coroutine task has finished.

I thought about using update to check when a coroutine is finished but it makes things messy because then I'm jumping all over the place and checking flags all the time.

 

coroutines do not block current code so

line 1
startcoroutine
line 2

line 2 does not wait for the coroutine, it forks off and does its own thing and immediatelyh line 2 follows

There are a number of things you can do
1. include any code you want delayed inside the coroutine so it goes

setupstuff
yield...
do post stuff

or

2. Have a callback method
so
line 1
startcoroutine(mycoroutine(callbackmethod))

then in callbackmethod, you do the post stuff which you call at the end of the coroutine

 

Okay thanks a lot. The second method works for my purposes.
