Question by troll · Apr 20, 2011 at 11:39 PM · invokerepeating

Invoking does not work, but why?

private var delayTime : float = 4;

function Start() { InvokeRepeating("animateObject",0,16); print("started"); yield WaitForSeconds(3); print("Finish"); CancelInvoke("animateObject"); }

/**function Update () {

}**/

function animateObject() {

print("run");

//animation.Rewind("Rise"); animation.Play("Rise");

yield WaitForSeconds(delayTime);

//animation.Rewind("Stand"); animation.Play("Stand");

yield WaitForSeconds(delayTime);

//animation.Rewind("Stand"); animation.Play("Stand");

yield WaitForSeconds(delayTime);

//animation.Rewind("Stand"); animation.Play("Stand");

yield WaitForSeconds(delayTime);

//animation.Rewind("Sink"); animation.Play("Sink");

}

The invoking does not work... why oO?

Nothing is wrong in the debug, its just the run print never shows up... so it is broken at the invoking

You can't invoke coroutines. You can rewrite that as a coroutine using a loop instead of using InvokeRepeating.

Not sure what to say without repeating myself. You can't invoke coroutines. If your function is a coroutine, you can't invoke it. As simple as that.
