Coroutine loop not working

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm currently stuck on a Coroutine loop that does not seem to work.

I've tried simplifying the loop to its essence to see what is wrong, but to no avail. Here's the code:

 void Start()
     {
         StartCoroutine(Timer());
     }
 
     IEnumerator Timer()
     {
         while (true)
         {
             Debug.Log("Here it works");
             yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);
             Debug.Log("So does here");
         }
     }

Basically, the first Debug.Log shows on the console just the first time, while the second never appears.

I can't seem to find the issue, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Cheers

A. You are deactivating the object with the script attached.

B. You are setting the Time.timeScale to 0

Hi xxmariofer,

neither of both, because

a) the object is always active (I've tried attaching another script to the object with another coroutine I was using before and it works perfectly); b) the Time.Timescale is currently 1 as everything else is working as intended (player movement, other coroutines and so on);

add a log to the update, if the log gets printed, you are 100% canceling the coroutine somewhere else. Remember calling StopAllCoroutines will also stop coroutines from other scripts attach to the same gameobject

 void Update()
 {
     Debug.Log("ENTERS");
 }

This is a new script that is not called by anything, also, I'm currently not using StopAllCoroutines but stopping them by name with a manager. Also, this is the only coroutine that uses this name.

Anyway, I found a solution with @Caeser_21 suggestion.

Thanks anyway for your help!
