Loop Animation with delay-variable

Question

Hi everybody, I want to play an animation continiously, but every time with delay between them. I know that corountines are not enabled in the Update-function because of certain performancing issues. However, my code do not work correctly ass it should:

 public var delay : int = 15;
 
 function Update () {
     Platform();
 }
 
 function Platform() {
     GetComponent(Animation).Play("Platform");
     yield new WaitForSeconds(delay);
 }

The problem here is that it does not wait the WaitForSeconds-command, so the animation is looping straight after its end without any delay between it.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

ok for one. you need to set a bool in there to turn on and off the function. next your delay needs to be a loat and wrote like below finally you need an animation length. Sorry I dont write java but this should be right!

 public var delay : float = 15.0f;
 public var animationLength: float;
 var functionOn: bool;
  
  function Update () {
      Platform();
  }
  
  function Platform() {
 
 if (functionOn == false)
 {
      functionOn =true;
      GetComponent(Animation).Play("Platform");
      yield new WaitForSeconds (animationLength);
      GetComponent(Animation).Stop("Platform");
 
      yield new WaitForSeconds(delay);
      functionOn = false;
 }
 
  }
