WaitForSecondsConstructor

Switch to Manual
public WaitForSeconds (float seconds);

Parameters

secondsDelay execution by the amount of time in seconds.

Description

Suspends the coroutine execution for the given amount of seconds using scaled time.

Create a yield instruction. Wait for seconds multiplied by Time.scaledTime. If seconds is set to 2.0f and Time.scaledTime is set to 0.5f, the wait is 4.0f (2.0f divided by 0.5f seconds). The example WaitForSeconds has a value of 1.0f. The second button changes Time.scaledTime to 4.0f. The cubes now move faster.

// WaitForSeconds example. // // Create three cubes. Press the "Move cubes normally" button to animate them. // Press the "Move cubes quickly" button to animate them faster. // Have WaitForSeconds wait for different amounts of time. The cubes // move upward or downward one at a time.
