Sleep period

I want to add a sleep period before moving an object upward, however my code currently doesn't work. Please help!!! (btw i basically understand nothing so an example code would be great) (also currently don't get errors, just doesn't work)

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class DoorSlide : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.      void Start()
7.     {
8.         StartCoroutine(Sleep());
9.     }
10.     IEnumerator Sleep()
11.     {
12.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
13.         // Move the object upward in world space 1 unit/second.
14.         transform.Translate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
15.     }
16. }

 

The code on line 14 is only executed for one frame and then the coroutine finishes. How long or far do you need the object to move for?

 

a

about 5 secs or so

 

I also tried using if/else with a variable counter but that didn't work

 

Then it should be something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. [SerializeField]
2. private float _moveTimer = 5f;
3.  
4. IEnumerator SleepMove()
5.     {
6.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(3);
7.  
8.         float timer = _moveTimer;
9.         while (timer > 0) {
10.             // Move the object upward in world space 1 unit/second.
11.             transform.Translate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
12.  
13.             timer -= Time.deltaTime;
14.             yield return null;
15.         }
16.     }

 

Nevermind, figured it out earlier, but her's my solution for anyone who wants it

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class DoorSlide : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.  
7.     void Start()
8.     {
9.         StartCoroutine(waiter());
10.     }
11.     IEnumerator waiter()
12.     {
13.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(5);
14.  
15.         for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
16.         {
17.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.05f);
18.             // Move the object upward in world space 1 unit/second.
19.             transform.Translate(Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime, Space.World);
20.         }
21.     }
22. }

 

That code is just terrible in so many ways and will cause nothing but problem.

What was wrong with @xVergilx's solution for you?

 

What is the solution to the problem?

 

The counter did not work correctly.

 

Thanks for the answer.

 

I think this is one of the best example code.
