Clarifaction needed on LoadLevel delay.

Question

Hi. Long story short, I when a player enters a level there is an animation that will play out automatically. After it concludes, I need the player to be kicked back to the title level. I've read that I need to use the Yield command for this, but have been unsuccessful in finding how to use it properly for this purpose.

What I would like is for the script to start and wait (set to the same time as the animation length) as the animation plays, after which it would run the LoadLevel command to return to the title level.

Though, if you know a better and more efficient method to achieve the same results that would be appreciated too.

Keep in mind that I'm very novice when it concerns scripting of any kind and I apologise in advance for this inevitable instructional inconvenience, I'm primarily a modeller and animator. Any information you'd be willing to share on this matter would be most appreciated.

Yield instructions can be called from a coroutine. Use a function to start the coroutine.

     public void LoadNextLevel () 
     {
         StartCoroutine( DelayedLevelLoad() );
     }

     IEnumerator DelayedLevelLoad()
     {
         //delay in seconds, can be specified by an animation clip length or something
         //float delay = GetComponent<Animation>().GetClip("SomeClip").length;
         float delay = 3f;
         yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
         Application.LoadLevel("NameOfScene");
     }
