[part 6] spikes freeze game

[Niyam Shah]

not sure why – no compiler or any errors occuring – when i touchs spikes, my game will freeze. ive set debug logs in every stage of the IEnumerator and it seens to not work when the scene fader occurs (it works during scene transitions)
ive set a respawner in my game and all script stuff is proper

reference for my spike script – debug log will print – 1, 2, 3, 4, respawn, takes damage

Hi Niyam,

If a game freezes when you run code, usually its because you have a loop that does not terminate. Try commenting your while loops out in SceneFader and see if the freeze still happens.

    public IEnumerator Fade(FadeDirection _fadeDirection)
    {


            float _alpha = _fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out ? 1 : 0;
            float _fadeEndValue = _fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out ? 0 : 1;

            if (_fadeDirection == FadeDirection.Out)
            {
                while (_alpha >= _fadeEndValue)
                {
                    SetColorImage(ref _alpha, _fadeDirection);

                    yield return null;
                }

                fadeOutUIImage.enabled = false;
            }
            else
            {
                fadeOutUIImage.enabled = true;

                while (_alpha <= _fadeEndValue)
                {
                    SetColorImage(ref _alpha, _fadeDirection);

                    yield return null;
                }
            }

    }

If this fixes the issue, look into your while loop’s condition and try to find out what is causing the condition to never be met.

i tried it and no luck – still broken and freezes at the same palce?

Try disabling the StartCoroutine() on your Spike script and see if it fixes the crash. The other possibility is that it might be RespawnPoint() that is causing the crash.

    private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D _other)
    {
        if (_other.CompareTag("Player"))
        {
            StartCoroutine(RespawnPoint());
            Debug.Log("respawn");
        }
    }

O ye alr fixed this
The computing respawn ppint was the cause
This was in ur video ….
In the cooroutine u had 2 yield return waitforseconds

The yield return part of these broke the coroutine

I removed these and added a
Yield return waitforseconds(0);
At the end of my script and it works now perfectly

[Aka]

Remplace WaitForSeconds by WaitForSecondsRealtime in the coroutine.

You can’t have WaitForSeconds with Timescale to 0.
