WaitForSeconds(mySource.clip.length); doesn't work

Hello, I have something like:

Code (csharp):

1. IEnumerator PlayFirst() {
2. mySource.Play();
3. yield return new WaitForSeconds(mySource.clip.length);
4. }

called with:

Code (csharp):

1.  StartCoroutine("PlayFirst");

where I want music to play.
But application doesn't wait for clip to stop playing.
How to fix that?

 

you don't do anything after yielding the WaitForSeconds... what's supposed to be waiting?

 

You can add a simple Debug.Log line to the PlayFirst Method to check if it's called at all.
Do you call it from the same script?

 

Code (csharp):

1. void Update() {
2. if(gestureListener.IsWave()) {
3. if(whichFlower==1){
4. //something here
5. StartCoroutine("PlayFirst");
6. //WANT TO WAIT HERE before next lines
7. //something here
8. }
9. }

I have fixed that with huge ammount of additional code. I am just wondering if there is possibility to use just WaitForSecondsEtc to stop on that line until audio is playing.

 

I think the wait is only applied to the co routine, not the method that calls it. You would have to put the lines whose execution you want to delay into the co routine.

 

yeah, the wait only makes the coroutine wait... calling StartCoroutine doesn't make Update wait.

 

Alternatively you could nest your coroutine in another one.

Code (CSharp):

1. //Inside first coroutine, this will wait for PlayFirst to finish before continuing
2. yield return StartCoroutine("PlayFirst");

 

As mentioned, use yield return for the actual coroutine. Instead of using the lenght of the clip, this could is more reliable.

Code (csharp):

1. IEnumerator PlayFirst() {
2.   mySource.Play();
3.   while (mySource.isPlaying) {
4.     yield return (null);
5.   }
6. }
