Wait for a certain amount of time

Question

Hi there, I'm kind of noob with Unity, but trying to learn. I'm using JavaScript mostly. I want to wait a certain amount of time, so I can start something, and wait 10 seconds or so, and then execute something else:

function startRotate ()

{ speed = 100f; yield WaitForSeconds(2); speed = 0f;
}

But the 'yield' gives me an error 'ArgumentException: method return type is incompatible' so how can I fix this?

startRotate needs return type IEnumerator. Call the function via StartCoroutine(startRotate());

Owh, that actually worked :D, thanks dude! ( @hexagonius )

 function startRotate () {
     speed = 100f;
     yield WaitForSeconds(2);
     speed = 0f; 
 }
 
 function Startcour () {
     StartCoroutine(startRotate());
     Debug.Log ("Starten!");
 }
