delayed function problem

Question

I have 2 scripts attached to 2 different objects, when the first object becomes visible the second script whit my GUI is enabled, when the first object disappears, I want to close my GUI. The problem is that when the GUI is closed I can't see the animations of the buttons in it because there's no time to show them. This is my code, maybe it explains my problem better:

first script:

 var otherScript : guifinal;

 if (renderer.isVisible) {
 
     otherScript.enabled = true;
 
     }
 else {
     DisableRendererWithDelay();
     }
 }
 
 function DisableRendererWithDelay() {
     yield WaitForSeconds(2);
     otherScript.enabled = false;
 }

second script:

     function OnEnable(){
     
     iTween.ValueTo(gameObject,iTween.Hash("from",CurrentButtonSize(),"to",buttonVertSize,"easetype",iTween.EaseType.easeOutBack,"onupdate","ScaleButton","time",.5,"delay",.3));
     iTween.ValueTo(gameObject,iTween.Hash("from",VertButtonSize(),"to",buttonOrizSize,"easetype",iTween.EaseType.easeOutBack,"onupdate","ScaleButton","time",.5,"delay",1));
 
 }    
 
 function OnDisable(){
     
     iTween.ValueTo(gameObject,iTween.Hash("from",CurrentButtonSize(),"to",buttonNormalSize,"easetype",iTween.EaseType.easeOutBack,"onupdate","ScaleButton","time",.5,"delay",.2));
 
 }

There is a way to send instantly the trigger of "otherScript.enabled = true" but execute it after 2 seconds?

You could try something like this ..
In your second script:
Add a boolean variable, something like 'disabling : boolean = false'
Then rename your OnDisable() function to Disable() and add disabling = false

 function Disable(){
     iTween.ValueTo(gameObject,iTween.Hash("from",CurrentButtonSize(),"to",buttonNormalSize,"easetype",iTween.EaseType.easeOutBack,"onupdate","ScaleButton","time",.5,"delay",.2));
     disabling = false;    
 }

Add an if statement in the update function of your second script

 if(disabling) {  
     disable();  
 }

In your first script:
just before you do your yield WaitForSeconds(2); add the line
otherScript.disabling = true;

Hope this makes sense :)

thank you so much, this was driving me mad, now is quite working (I have undestand the method, now I'm trying to apply correctly).. but I don't understand why also the OnEnable function starts after 2 seconds
