Unity 4.2 yield is not working / bugged?

Helloz

Could i ask if anyone is having any YIELD WAITFORSECONDS problems?

I have a function called via SENDMESSAGE..., and it doesnt print anything!!

function Spawn(){
yield WaitForSeconds(1);
print("Its working");
}

Alternatively i tried this..... but it only works once!!!

function Spawn(){
print("Works Once");
yield WaitForSeconds(1);
print("Works twice!");
}

But it seems to work at some places.... but just this ONE script.... its not working >.<
Would like to know if anyones experiencing something similar, to confirm it as a bug..... or do i just need to debug harder

Thanks!

 

for me it works( c# ).
Maybe your sendmessage doesnt arrive correctly. I think theres an overloaded method that prints an error if the receiver is not found.
Also, i'm not experienced with js, but maybe you need to StartCoroutine there too.

 

Hmmm i i guess i should have looked into Unity ANSWERS first..... as it is filled with people saying its not working as well...
Leaving the solution here....

I didnt mention that i sent message and then deleted the Sender...

Apparently... you cannot call tell Object A to call the function at Object B............... and delete Object A....
Needs to Keep Object A alive..... until the Object B's yield is complete...

Has it always been like this? Or this some new tech?

 

Just a mere idea. Maybe you could try to sendmessage a kind of 'proxy' function which then invokes the real yield function. I dont know if that works but worth a try.

void InvokeRealFunction() {
StartCoroutine(RealFunction());
}
IEnumerator RealFunction(){
yield sometime();
}
