IEnumerator Help.

I don't know any programming but I'm trying to understand. Learning by doing and all that.

I've got a click action script that calls another script with a RemoveMe() function. I want to use IEnumerator to delay the dissapearence of the object with that RemoveMe() script on it. I've tried putting the following IEnumerator lines everywhere but I can't figure out how to write it to make it work. This doesn't work but it's what I've got so far:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Destroyable : MonoBehaviour {
2.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
6.     public void RemoveMe() {
7.        
8.         IEnumerator MyMethod() {
9.             yield return new WaitForSeconds(2);
10.        
11.         Debug.Log("Destroyable's RemoveMe function is being called on" + name);
12.         Destroy (gameObject);
13.             }
14.  
15.  
16.     }
17. }
18.  

Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

I think it would be better if he started off with http://csharp.net-tutorials.com/basics/functions/ and

While you definitely should read those links above, Destroy has a delay function build in....

Thanks for the links, As Zaladur said Destroy has a delay function apparently.

All I had to do for this issue was remove the IEnumerator code and write Destroy(gameObject, 3); to delay destroy 3 seconds

But I appreciate the links, I will have to learn about IEnumerator and Coroutines at some point so I'm glad to have these links.
