Pop up message, pause script till user clicks OK button

Basically:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.     public void SomeLoop ()
3.     {
4.         List<GameObject> gogos = new List<GameObject>();
5.         // add some gameobjects
6.  
7.         foreach (GameObject go in gogos)
8.         {
9.             PopUpMessageAboutGameObject(go);
10.             DoSomeMoreStuff(go); // but not until the user clicked the OK button see below!
11.         }
12.     }
13.  
14.     public void PopUpMessageAboutGameObject (GameObject go)
15.     {
16.         // Show my message panel complete with an OK button
17.         // and DO NOT return from here until user clicks OK
18.     }
19.  
20.     void DoSomeMoreStuff(GameObject go)
21.     {
22.     }
23.  
24.  

I have read lots of articles about threads and coroutines and sleep and timescales but I can't get my head round how they'd fit here

 

I simply would add a bool variable to your script. Set it to false on PopUpMessageAboutGameObject and set it to true if the user clicks ok. Then use

Code (CSharp):

1. if(myFlag == true){
2. DoSomeMoreStuff(go);
3. }

 

Thanks Duugu. After several hours I finally worked out how to make a coroutine work for what I wanted, but it was very torturous lol. I am afraid your solution doesn't look like it would have worked for what I needed, as I do want all the SomeMoreStuff to happen every time, just not before I have read the message, and a normal while loop busied up the processor so much it couldn't take my input

 

One possible solution in pseudo code.

Code (CSharp):

1. bool isButtonClicked;
2.  
3. IEnumerator WaitFunction () {
4.     // Do stuff
5.     // Show box
6.     while (!isButtonClicked) yield return null;
7.     // Do other stuff
8. }

 

I did something similar, but I actually set a bool Paused when the message box pops up, and unset Paused when I click the button, and my coroutine checks for that.
