Question Stop Coroutine while its running?

Hey there,

i have a Coroutine which i store in a variable as it used to be:

Code (CSharp):

1. IEnumerator storedCoroutine

and well, the function for example is something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. aiMover.Agent.SetDestination(interactableMovePoints.movePoint.transform.position);
3.  
4. yield return new WaitUntil(() => !aiMover.Agent.pathPending);
5. yield return new WaitUntil(() => aiMover.ReturnDistanceToTarget() <= 0.2);
6.  
7. aiMover.StopNavMesh();
8. yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.4f);
9. SetupAnimator(aiMover.Anim);
10.  

so the problem here is, even if i stop the coroutine,
he still runs the whole thing until it finishes .. ,
which means, if the AI is still running towards a place,
he still goes there and sets up the animator ... even i stop the coroutine before,

so in total: Is there any way to Stop a Coroutine even its not completed?


EDIT: PLEASE READ

- The problem here is not that he ends up running till the end, becouse that will get stopped,
but the problem is that he will setup the Animation when he reaches the end .. , so in case my AI wants to sit.. it does stop but then it runs the "Sit" animation in the last function

 

How are you stopping the coroutine?

You should be doing it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Start
2. storedCoroutine = StartCoroutine(MyCoroutine());
3.  
4. // Stop
5. StopCoroutine(storedCoroutine);

 

Yes well, i got a InputReader which Stops the Function by Running:

Code (CSharp):

1. StopCoroutine(storedCoroutine);

but that still didnt help,

i just figured it out .. my fault since i didnt watch the docs before ...
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/MonoBehaviour.StopCoroutine.html

at the bottom you see that the "running" coroutine also needs to get stored
in a variable as this:

Code (CSharp):

1. Coroutine runningCoroutine = StartCoroutine(storedCoroutine);

by this you can actualy cancel it while its running by:

Code (CSharp):

1. StopCoroutine(runningCoroutine );
