Time Delay Not Working, not to complicated?

Greetings, I am working on a script where it would instantiate an object every 1.5 sec however, it seems to not wait and just does it one go. Please help.

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class ZombieSpawnCont : MonoBehaviour
5. {
6.     public GameObject zombiePrefab;
7.  
8.     // Use this for initialization
9.     void Start ()
10.     {
11.  
12.     }
13.  
14.     public void SpawnZombie(Transform loc, int numOfZom)
15.     {
16.         for(int i=1;i<=numOfZom;i++)
17.         {
18.             GameObject tempZomb = Instantiate(zombiePrefab,loc.transform.position,loc.transform.rotation) as GameObject;
19.             StartCoroutine(Timer());
20.         }
21.     }
22.  
23.     IEnumerator Timer()
24.     {
25.         yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.5f);
26.     }
27. }
28.  

 

That's not how it works.
At the moment, you start 'numOfZom' coroutines in the same frame.

The following starts the coroutine once. If you need that in Update, make sure you only start when necesssary and under given conditions, not every frame. E.g. track if it currently running etc.

Code (CSharp):

1. public class ZombieSpawner : MonoBehaviour
2. {
3.     public GameObject zombiePrefab;
4.  
5.     void Start()
6.     {
7.         StartCoroutine(SpawnZombies(transform, 5));
8.     }
9.  
10.     IEnumerator SpawnZombies(Transform loc, int number)
11.     {
12.         for (int i = 0; i < number; i++)
13.         {
14.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.5f);
15.             Instantiate(zombiePrefab, loc.transform.position, loc.transform.rotation);
16.         }
17.     }
18. }

 

Okay Thanks

 

Remember, if you're using IEnumerator, you need to type what you want it to do after the time is up. In your case:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. IEnumerator Timer()
3.  
4. {
5.        yield return new WaitForSeconds(1.5f);
6.     //do what you want after 1.5 seconds
7. }
8.
